Chapter 255: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Although Kobayashi Sakura complained in her heart, there was a surprised and sweet smile on her pretty face.
Xiaolin Ying tilted her head very cutely, rubbed her hands and said playfully:
"That's great, can I call you Lusan?"
Lu Pingsheng looked at her expressionless face and the two dimples of the same depth as Wei Miao's, and he didn't know what to feel.
I don’t know how this girl is scolding herself in her heart.
You know, a truly brave person hates Ergou more than Xiaogzi.
Wei Miao, who was concentrating on eating and drinking, laughed and said:
"Ms. Yingzi, don't be fooled by him. Brother Lu is a money-oriented person. He works at the General Administration of Customs just to make money. Brother Lu is a money-minded person."
Lu Pingsheng glared at the little brat, "Is this how you slander my reputation? Especially in front of a beautiful lady like Sakurako?"
Wu Ziyang laughed loudly and spoke up for Wei Miao: "What's wrong with Ah Miao telling the truth?"
Lu Pingsheng was speechless and poured himself some red wine.
A hint of understanding flashed across Kobayashi Sakura's upturned Ruifeng eyes just right.
"I know, it's just a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might, a dog relying on the power of a man, a dog hiding in the shadows, selling dog meat under the guise of sheep..."
She said several idioms in a row, as if she was showing off her Chinese proficiency.
Lu Pingsheng's hand trembled as he poured the wine, his handsome face turned dark, and he muttered in his heart:
Okay, curse me as much as you want, as long as you are happy, you can’t mess with anyone with dimples.
As more dishes were served, Wei Miao didn't want to join in the adults' conversation.
She needs to concentrate on eating.
It was not until Lu Pingsheng asked Wu Ziyang about the renovated store opposite the Police Headquarters that Wei Miao pricked up his ears to listen.
Wu Ziyang put down his knife and fork and asked, "The one across the street that's being renovated?"
Lu Pingsheng nodded, "That's my store. Some time ago I was planning to take it back and let Ah Miao's family open a braised pork restaurant..."
After listening to Lu Pingsheng's story, Wu Ziyang understood what was going on.
Lu Pingsheng became famous after gambling at "181", and all kinds of rumors came one after another.
Some people say that there is a master behind Lu Pingsheng. Although he seems to have won a fortune, he actually didn't even get a sip of soup.
Some people say that this was a trap set by the Green Gang, and Lu Pingsheng was just a gun. Didn’t he see that Lu Shaojie turned around and blackmailed the Green Gang boss for two million?
There is also a group of people who have just come to Shanghai to make a living. They believe that Lu Pingsheng is a legend. He challenged the former richest man and the current warlord single-handedly and is a legendary figure who stands tall and proud.
Even privately, some people put him on par with those legendary figures who have built their fortunes from scratch in recent years and praise him highly.
People who knew the inside story scoffed at these rumors.
Lu Pingsheng, a little-known antique dealer, bought two streets from Zeng Si, but gave away most of the street right away.
Wu Ziyang himself also got several shops and a house in an alley in an excellent location.
Through him, Lu Pingsheng also gave houses and shops to the chief inspector. I heard that Lu Pingsheng's good friend Durant also got a lot of benefits.
Even a small fry like Wang Sanqiang got a small shop, which shows how thoughtful he was.
No one was left behind.
After Lu Pingsheng finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass. After savoring it carefully, he said:
"Help me investigate who is so arrogant."
Wu Ziyang agreed without even thinking about it, "No need to investigate. I'll send someone to take him back to the police station after dinner."
Wei Miao was stunned. "Is it that simple?"
Lu Pingsheng thought that she looked naive and quite cute.
"Don't you ever think about who you are, Little Angkor?"
The Central Police Station in the French Concession was the sky of the entire French Concession. Even the consulate and the garrison had to give it a lot of face.
The French have always regarded themselves as the world's most powerful country, and their arrogance and assertiveness are unparalleled.
Chinese people like Wu Ziyang who work for the French have learned all of this very well.
If we arrest the man and take him back, given his arrogant personality, he will definitely ask someone for help to find out who is behind this.
After they finished their meal, Wu Ziyang wanted to pay the bill, but Lu Pingsheng refused.
Wei Miao said, "Little Wu, Brother Lu is a wealthy man now, and he pays for all the drinks we go out for."
Lu Pingsheng rolled his eyes at the little cub and should have known not to buy her a little lion.
Wu Ziyang knew that Lu Pingsheng was extremely wealthy, so he spread his hands, walked to the side, spoke to the manager, picked up the phone and dialed back.
When Wei Miao heard him say to take a team to surround the other side, his eyes sparkled.
Xiaolin Ying saw Wei Miao was cute and smiled softly:
"So happy?"
Wei Miao nodded, looked into her deep and gentle eyes and sighed seriously:
"It turns out that it feels so good to rely on the power of others."
"Pfft~"
The gentle mask on Kobayashi Sakura's face finally broke, and her cheeks turned a little red from smiling.
For the umpteenth time in his life, Lu Ping couldn't help but roll his eyes and said that the little bastard was not smart. He could quote all kinds of allusions at will and was very knowledgeable.
You can say that she is cultured, but she always uses idioms inappropriately, which makes people laugh and cry.
Wu Ziyang hung up the phone and looked at the three people. "What happened?"
Xiao Lin Ying rubbed her belly and winked at Wei Miao, meaning that she would keep it a secret.
Wei Miao didn't think there was anything wrong at all and told Wu Ziyang what had just happened.
Lupin held his forehead with his hand. It happened again.
"Hahahaha~"
Before Wu Ziyang could laugh, a very hearty laugh came from his ears, causing everyone in the hall to look at him sideways.
Wei Miao turned his head to look, and said with a little surprise:
"Mr. Bai."
Isn’t the person laughing behind me the Bai Xingzhou whom I met just half a month ago?
He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit and looked well-mannered. Beside him followed a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding a coat in her hands.
The woman had beautiful and graceful features and a smile on her lips.
She held Bai Xingzhou's arm, and seeing him laughing so hard that he fell backwards, she also looked at him with a smile in her eyes, which were as bright as stars, as if she was looking at a playful friend.
Bai Xingzhou noticed her gaze and realized that he was being a little rude in public, so he showed a little bit of mischief.
This was the first time Wei Miao felt tangible love since coming to this world.
In the past, she only knew that Xiao Wu Ge loved Li Xiaoya, intensely and passionately, domineeringly and obsessively, even a little bit morbidly.
It made her think that the love that humans had been singing about for thousands of years was actually so awkward.
Xiaoxiao had already decided in her heart that she would never engage in such things as love between men and women in this life.
Now, watching the two of them interacting in such a simple and tacit way, a trace of deep thought flashed through my mind, and I felt that this was the kind of love described in the books.
After Bai Xingzhou had laughed enough, he said to Wei Miao:
"I heard that your voice sounded like yours, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it was really you."
After the party in the dance hall that day, Bai Xingzhou also went to the small western-style building, but after knowing what Lu Pingsheng and the others were going to do, he stayed for more than ten minutes and then left with an excuse.
For this reason, Wei Miao had a good impression of him.
Unlike Wang Sanqiang and his friends, who were like lustful ghosts and were extremely impatient.
