Chapter 165: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Wei Miao lay on the bed, thinking about what Lu Pingsheng said when he left.
She never asked who was behind Lu Pingsheng, but she could feel that the organization behind Lu Pingsheng seemed to be poorer than her.
Otherwise, a man who values his promises like Lu Pingsheng would not secretly withhold the money that belongs to her.
Wei Miao couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about being tied to the same boat with an organization that could swallow more money than him.
Wei Miao stood up suddenly, "No, what's mine is mine, it can't be embezzled, this is my Dao heart, those who destroy my Dao heart must double the compensation."
At Wu Ziyang's house, Lu Pingsheng sneezed for no reason and took the handkerchief handed to him by Wu Ziyang.
"Zi Yang, I heard that you are very familiar with Lu Shaojie?"
Lu Pingsheng came to visit late at night. Wu Ziyang was wearing pajamas and yawning.
"We have some acquaintance. He is a generous and fun-loving person with a wide range of social contacts."
Lu Pingsheng said sarcastically, "So you dare to beat up the leader of the Green Gang, and you also dare to hire someone to assassinate the police chief?"
These things are not secrets. People in the military are very arrogant now, especially in this city.
What they are competing for is who has a bigger show, who has more power, and who is more extravagant and decadent.
Otherwise how are we going to feed those thousands of tabloids?
Wu Ziyang rarely saw Lu Pingsheng show such an expression, and his sleepiness disappeared, and a hint of interest flashed in his amorous peach blossom eyes.
"Did he provoke you?"
Lu Pingsheng picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and was about to light it when he heard Wu Ziyang say:
"Don't smoke here."
Lu Pingsheng looked at him, "Have you quit smoking?"
Wu Ziyang said: "Let's go to the balcony. Xiaoya is not in good health and can't stand the smell of smoke."
Lu Pingsheng didn't say anything sarcastic. He took his cigarette and lighter and followed him to the balcony.
After Wu Ziyang got the gold, he spent a lot of money to buy this garden villa on Sinan Road.
With a luxurious house and a beautiful wife, Deputy Chief Inspector Wu can be considered to be in great shape. If it weren't for his wife's frail health, his life would be perfect.
The sky was dotted with stars at midnight, and the crescent moon hung like a hook on the branches of a sycamore tree. The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled.
"Click" the flame of the lighter shot up, Lu Pingsheng used his hand to block the wind direction, lit a cigarette for himself, and then threw the lighter to Wu Ziyang.
"I won't smoke anymore." Wu Ziyang played with cigarettes and lighters.
Lu Pingsheng spit out his eyes and carefully muttered "love brain"
Wu Ziyang didn't hear it and continued the previous topic, "How did he provoke you?"
Lu Pingsheng told Wu Ziyang roughly what happened tonight.
Even if he doesn't say these things, the tabloids will dig up everything tomorrow. Uncle Zeng Bao said that he would not let anyone report on A Miao's situation, but if someone wants to know, how can he keep it secret?
After all, in this mixed city, there are too many people with connections.
Wu Ziyang frowned after hearing this, "A Miao can ride a horse?"
"Follow me, what's the big deal about being able to ride a horse?" Lu Pingsheng said with a smug tone.
He could accept that Wei Miao was a genius, but how could others think that a rickshaw driver's son could ride a horse?
Wu Ziyang said awkwardly: "You are indeed very good to the little brat."
Lu Pingsheng flicked away the ash and said with a hint of worry:
"Lu Shaojie is used to being arrogant and domineering. He doesn't dare to touch the Zeng family. I'm afraid that A Miao will be retaliated by him."
Wu Ziyang lit the lighter in his hand, then extinguished it, "You asked me to protect the little brat?"
Lu Pingsheng nodded, put out the cigarette in his hand, and whispered:
"The little brat is now helping me, so I naturally have the responsibility to protect his family. During this period, you can arrange for patrol officers to patrol more diligently near her home. If there are any problems, you can also help deal with them."
Since the sulfa incident, Wu Ziyang's opinion of Wei Miao has changed a lot.
The little boy is smart and alert, and he does things carefully. Wei Miao has made an indispensable contribution to the life that he, Lu Pingsheng, Bai Meigui and Dr. Ding have today.
If it weren't for her, who would have known that the inconspicuous sulfa drug could be worth a fortune?
As the first group of people to try something new, they were very happy and continued to place orders for the second and third batches of sulfa drugs. However, the little kid decided to quit at the peak of his career. Who wouldn't like such a smart and sensible child?
"Don't worry, I'll arrange this myself."
With Wu Ziyang's words, Lu Pingsheng felt more at ease.
He knew that the little brat could protect himself. Although Uncle Zeng Bao did not promise to protect the Wei family, he would not stand idly by as long as Wei Miao used force on him.
The most important thing is naturally the culprit.
But now he was not sure whether it was Lu Shaojie's own idea or the action of his warlord father.
After the two returned to the living room, Lu Pingsheng took out two large yellow croakers and a pair of shiny fish jade pendants from his bag.
"The big yellow croaker is used to buy wine for the patrolling brothers."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the jade pendant and said:
"The jade pendant is a wedding gift I prepared for you a long time ago. I heard that Xiaoya is not in good health. This warm jade can nourish people. I am on a business trip this time. If everything goes well, I can come back to be your male guest. If not, congratulations in advance on your happy wedding."
Wu Ziyang, who was about to refuse, accepted it generously after hearing it, with a touch of emotion in his eyes, and said:
"I hope you can come back soon. My parents and brothers are not here, and I don't have many friends..."
Because of Xu Manhua's incident and his dislike for Li Xiaoya, Wu Ziyang's uncle and his family finally became estranged from him.
"I'm leaving now. Say hello to Xiaoya for me!"
Lu Pingsheng patted Wu Ziyang on the shoulder and sighed in his heart, thinking that he was just a young man in his twenties.
The door was closed. Wu Ziyang turned around with his things and saw Li Xiaoya standing at the stairs.
"Did I wake you up?" Wu Ziyang asked gently.
Li Xiaoya shook her head and said shyly: "I can't sleep without you by my side."
After saying that, she looked at Wu Ziyang and asked:
"Was that Mr. Lu just now?"
Wu Ziyang nodded and did not tell her about Wei Miao. The doctor said that Xiaoya's physical condition had deteriorated due to excessive worry and she needed to rest.
So now he never tells Xiaoya about the troubles outside. It is enough for her to stay with him obediently.
"Pingsheng is passing by and giving us wedding gifts in advance."
Li Xiaoya's eyes fell on the gold bars and jade pendants. She opened her mouth to say something, but her throat started to itch and she started to cough bitterly. . .
Wu Ziyang immediately and nervously brought her water and fed her medicine, and he did the whole process smoothly.
After all the tossing and turning, Li Xiaoya fell asleep exhausted in his arms.
Wu Ziyang looked down at Li Xiaoya's pale face with obsession.
In his heart, he secretly felt that Xiaoya was so good. She needed him, depended on him, and would never think of leaving him again.
"Xiaoya, you said that we should be together forever, for generations to come, right?" There was an abnormal blush on his handsome face, and there was an almost paranoid madness in his peach blossom eyes.
Li Xiaoya frowned in her sleep and wanted to wake up, but Wu Ziyang patted her gently and she fell asleep.
