Chapter 41 (1/2)

Although everyone knows that the trial is just a walk, the heroine has already decided that it is Hong Lan. But when the film officially started, Hong Zhengbao had a big fanfare and invited the brothers from the top and bottom to celebrate the baby daughter.

I don’t know whether it was because Xu Xingcheng’s confession in the studio that day reached his ears. The banquet did not invite the Xu family, and naturally it was impossible to invite the Lin family.

After drinking the wine, Hong Zhengbao pulled Luo Fusheng to his side. “Floating, your injuries are almost gone, and it’s time to come out and do things.”

“Yes. Father.” Luo Fusheng said nothing. Hou Li was in a hurry. Does this mean that he would take the terminal business back in his hand? He hurried over with his glass of wine. “Hongye, report something to you. Since the terminal took over since this time, the profit has doubled. The brothers have more money in their pockets, and they all say thank you.

“Huh. It doesn’t matter how it turns. The running dog.” Hong Lan rolled his eyes next to him. She had heard that the Hongwan Society had recently approached Hou Li, and a large amount of Japanese goods came in from the Honggang terminal. There must be no benefit to him. If the guys can get ten or eight more, Hou Li can take more than ten times and one hundred times.

“Lan’er, don’t be rude.” Hong Zhengbao scolded her daughter. “Ali, you are naturally at ease with your ability to handle things. I am very relieved to see you at the dock.”

Hou Li got a promise from Hong Ye that he would not move the fat in his mouth, and he was relieved, and looked at Luo Fusheng proudly.

Hong Zhengbao continued to talk to Luo Fusheng. “Since everything on the dock is now left to your uncle, I will arrange something for you.”

He made all the brothers quiet and announced a decision. “When I am young, I will take over all the Hongbang smokehouses in Shanghai Beach. In the future, if there is anything in the smokehouse, I will go directly to MGM to report to Shawdang.”

“Yes!” The brothers answered uniformly. Hou Li was a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, but he could hardly tell.

Most of the profit points of the terminal business he took were on opium imports. The Red Pill Club, Jardine Yangxing and East India Company all need to give him some benefits. But in the end, the terminal is only a downstream channel of the cigarette hall. If Luo Fusheng wanted to supply the card, he had no right to use this right. Those cunning foreigners will meet the wind and make the rudder to post to Luo Fusheng.

Luo Fusheng was as surprised as everyone else. His uncle had not disclosed a tone before that he would take care of the tobacco house. To be honest, he also didn’t want to take over the smoke shop. He watched too many people in MGM for the death of the Aurong family. Although he didn’t want to get along with the money, he intuitively felt that it was a harmful thing.

The father-in-law was drunk at this dinner, and he was also drunk a lot. Before leaving, the last set of people was sent away, and his uncle called him into Megmi’s suite.

As soon as the door was closed, the drunkenness in his father’s eyes had disappeared …

After his father-in-law left, Luo Fusheng put Tianying’s record on the record player. He threw himself on the hardboard bed and lay in bed alone.

On the second day, Luo Fusheng just got up, and the waiter of MGM came and knocked on the door, and brought in a delicate bracelet. “Young Master, this was just sent by a girl. She said that you should hand it over to Master Xu.”

Luo Fusheng rubbed his bracelet, and the fingers pierced by the edges of the stars hurt slightly. “Did she say anything?”

“No.”

Does this mean rejecting bamboo? Luo Fusheng couldn’t understand, he had already explained to her the reason why Xu Xingcheng abandoned medical service, plus the last confession. How could Tianying doubt Xu Xingcheng’s sincerity?

He thought about it or chased it out, and he didn’t go far before he met Tianying and walked out of the house with a bag of raw fried bread. Duan Tianying looked up and saw him, and the two smiled at each other across the crowd of vehicles on the road.

They sat on the stairs in front of the Xujiahui church and shared the fried bao. “I remember when I was in the cave, you promised to go back to the world and buy me fried dumplings. How can I become you now?”

If it weren’t for her to take the initiative, he almost felt that what happened in the cave was something of a previous life. Don’t dare to mention or dare to recall.

“I’ll invite you again next time.” Luo Fusheng took a bite of raw fried buns, and tasted like chewing wax. “Why is the bracelet back? I can see that Mozhu really cares about you.”

“I know.” Duan Tianying’s elbows were propped on his knees, looking forward. “I believe he is willing to give up the surname Xu for me, but I can’t help but surname Duan. My life was given by my father and brother.”

Duan Tianying told Luo Fusheng about her life experience and her father’s arrangement that she would marry Duan Tianci at the end of the year. But concealing Xu Ruian’s dirty behavior, his brother must not want others to know these things.

Luo Fusheng didn’t expect that there were so many twists and turns in between, and he pondered for a long time. “You can pay for it in many other ways. Losing your lifelong happiness is not the best option.”

“Anyway, it is impossible for me and Xu Xingcheng. My brother treats me very well, and it is not the same to marry.” Tian Ying smiled bitterly, but he said nothing.

Luo Fusheng wanted to ask, what about me? Since everyone is the same, can I? But the words swallowed back to his lips. He cannot betray the bamboo.

Behind the church door was open, and a hymn “Kannon Hymn” was sung inside. The choir children’s voices are ethereal and clear.

Tianying looked at him curiously. “Where is this?”

“Xujiahui’s Catholic Church. Want to go in and see?” Luo Fusheng took her hand and pulled her off the ground.

Entering the church, Tianying looked around and was infected by the solemn and holy atmosphere in the church. Tian Ying has never heard such praises before. The solemn atmosphere in the church and the pious expression of the children in the choir gave Tian Ying a sense of inexplicable awe.

The two of them sat in the back row. Tianying saw the people around him folded their hands and lowered their heads, and secretly asked Luo Fusheng. “What are they doing?”

Luo Fusheng smiled and replied. “They are praying silently to their Lord God, some are confessing their sins, some are praying for their wishes.”
