Chapter 51 (1/2)
Xu Ruian acquiesced in Xu Xingcheng’s robbing of people when Duan Tianying was an actor, and it was a good thing to accept her as a concubine to stabilize his son’s mind. He never expected that she would be the daughter of Lin Daoshan and Xia Anni who had been missing for many years.
In this way, it is indispensable to visit the door personally to apologize. Xu Rui’an found an excuse to go to the Lin Mansion. Sitting in the meeting room with Lin Daoshan, Xu Ruian poured tea for him himself.
“Xu Bu is a busy person, why is Yaxing so pleased to ask me for tea today?”
“Brother Lin is serious. The Lin family and the Xu family are family friends. Isn’t it normal for us to recount the past in every way?”
“That’s right. The Xu family, the Lin family and the Hong family have been friends for many years, but they are not as good as before in their walks and interactions, which is a shame.”
“After all, the tragedy of the second wife was due to an unrelated person, and now Miss Lin has also found it. It is a good opportunity for the Lin family and the Hong family to let go of their suspicions. After all, Shanghai’s three families still need a tight alliance to maintain. The current stable situation. By the way. I forgot to congratulate Brother Lin for finding his daughter.”
Lin Daoshan knew that he came for Ruomeng. If you didn’t arrive in time this time, maybe the daughter who was finally found would be lost again. Thinking about it is something to be afraid of.
“I believe that Young Master Xu didn’t do it intentionally. You and I had such a time wherever the love came. But now that Young Master Xu has a marriage contract with Miss Hong Jia. You still need to be more careful in your words and deeds in the future. The dream is still a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and reputation is the most important.”
This is not light, Xu Rui’an smiled. “From now on, I will take care of my rebellious son.”
“Speaking of the Hong family, Minister Xu, I heard that the Hong Gang has been severely suppressed by the Qing Gang recently. Is that true?”
Xu Rui’an shook his head, seemingly very distressed. “Yes, this youth gang has recently occupied a lot of territory, which has brought a great threat to the Hong gang. I heard that there is Japanese support behind it. The Japanese want to support their forces in Shanghai, and the Hong gang’s foundation is too deep. Don’t help it, the rising stars of the Youth Gang will have a better grasp.
“As the saying goes, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline. This is the law of the development of everything in the world. I think that the current gang has internal and external troubles and is very dangerous. It may not always be the first place in the Shanghai gang. Unless they turn to Japan. People surrender, but the thing I don’t look down on is the traitor and lackey.”
“This… really hard to tell.”
Lin Daoshan took a sip of tea and smiled: “That’s why the Hong family is in such a hurry to get married with the Xu family. They don’t even dare to say anything about the big issue of the Xu family’s marriage.”
Xu Ruian smiled wryly, thoughtfully.
“Brother Lin is pretty good. So, in my opinion, if Zhong Jing and my family Yuanyuan can get married as soon as possible, it will be a good story. It is better to wait for Mi Zhu to return from the training camp and the two marriages will be held together. Let’s do it. A century wedding in Shanghai.”
When Lin Daoshan saw Xu Rui’an thinking of going with him, he offered to propose early marriage between Lin Qikai and Xu Xingyuan, and his brows were immediately delighted. Seeing that the situation is getting chaotic day by day, no amount of money can be as hard as the gun in Xu’s hand. On this point of marriage, he and Hong Zhengbao have similar thoughts.
Lin Daoshan in turn poured tea to Xu Rui’an respectfully, both of them were smiling, but each had their own concerns.
When Hong Lan rushed into his father’s study, Hong Zhengbao was explaining things to two uncommon subordinates. Seeing Hong Lan coming in, Hong Zhengbao frowned and waved his hand to let them go down.
“Father, didn’t you really hate bringing things from the gang to the house before? How do I feel that our family has been going in and out of many people recently?”
“Recently, there are a lot of things in the help, some headaches, special circumstances in special times.”
Hong Lan is not a three-year-old, and she sees all the changes these days. “Nothing big happened to the help, right?”
Hong Zhengbao took her daughter to her side and patted the back of her hand to soothe her: “It’s okay, everything has your father! My daughter of Hong Zhengbao, just need to be a bride happily, and don’t worry about other things.”
When this matter was mentioned, Hong Lan remembered his intention. “Father, if you want me to be happy, please agree to let me and Xu Xingcheng break the marriage contract!”
Hong Zhengbao frowned: “Why are you here again?”
Before, she agreed to go home because Brother Fusheng told her that Xu Xingcheng would take Tianying out of Shanghai, but she didn’t know why the two eventually failed. Xu Er also agreed to the marriage with her.
“Father! Xu Xingcheng obviously has a girl he likes! He even snatched someone from someone’s wedding to elope!”
Hong Zhengbao pretended to be surprised. “What’s this?”
“It’s true! We all of the Hong Clan kids know it. Dad, their Xu family hasn’t moved at all right now, and 80% of them are wrong!”
“Then Xu Xingcheng has gone?”
“That’s not true, it didn’t work.” Hong Lan curled his lips. To be honest, she still admired Xu Er’s courage in this matter, and went straight to the wedding banquet of others. However, I didn’t expect that Duan Tianying’s master would be killed by accident, which put the three of them in a dilemma.
Hong Zhengbao pretended to be relaxed: “If you don’t make it, then it’s okay. The young man is impulsive, and in the end he always wants to get back on track. No matter how hard he is from his background, he can’t do without the Xu family.”
“Why is it okay? Dad, it’s about reputation! Before I got married, he was going to grab other girls with a big fanfare. What status will I have in the Xu family in the future? I want to break the marriage contract with him!”
Hong Lan’s words have never been thought of by Hong Zhengbao, but at the moment, the Hong Gang is facing the enemy. He can only pretend to be deaf and dumb about Xu Xingcheng’s love affairs, and endures to ask for an umbrella for his daughter. “Lan Lan, who is not a sage? Xu Xingcheng’s failure to make it means that he has reined in the precipice and has realized his mistakes. Our Hong family is not forgiving at this time. If we have to dissolve the marriage contract, that is to make a thorough peace. The Xu family’s face is torn, there is no need for this!”
“That is the happiness of my life!”
