Rebirth: Outstanding - Chapter 517
“You have to endure this kind of engagement until you are willing to tell me, and I still consider you a good sister.” Outside the thunder and rain, Chu Xiaoxin’s wife Lu Peiying was bare feet, lazily draped on a blanket and shrank on the sofa. Above, shrink in the basement screening room of a townhouse on Kennedy Road, Hong Kong Island, staring at the movie being played on the screen. Although the words are complaining, there is no anger in the tone, and it is more like not trusting the other party at all. The words spoken.
Although Lu Peiying was born in the Lu family, she is considered to be a big family, but the size of the Lu family is more reflected in fame and status. It is not too important to money. Life is westernized, and it is enough to pay attention to the comfort of life. Material enjoyment, this kind of exaggerated entertainment project of transforming one’s own basement into a luxurious projection hall and a collection room, has not appeared in Lu’s family.
Tiffany walked over with a plate of cut fruits in his hand and put it on the coffee table next to the sofa, inserted a red grape with a toothpick and handed it to Peiying Lu. Then he sat down next to Peiying Lu and reached out from the coffee table. He picked up the women’s cigarette and lit a cigarette, then looked at the movie on the screen without making a sound.
After watching the movie for a while, the woman next to him did not respond, except for the low sound of the film projector turning the film. Lu Peiying took her gaze away from the screen and looked at her girlfriend: “Hey, shouldn’t you dislike me for running to your house at night? So you gave me an excuse to get engaged and prepare to let me get acquainted later. Don’t bother you if it’s okay, right? That’s all, Ashin and a good friend of him have dinner and wine tonight. He said that he would get drunk and rest in the evening. Don’t go home to live, lest you vomit in a mess. I’m too bored at home alone, so I’m looking for you to kill time.”
“Why lie to you? You came to my house to eat and drink, when did you drive you out?” Tiffany pouted, “It’s true.”
“Really?” Lu Peiying suddenly became energetic, sat upright, picked up the fruit bowl, and next to Tiffany, while delivering fruit to her mouth, she asked the other person, “Which pretty boy did you see? They said that your eyes were too high. Isn’t it the new handsome and young Professor Guilao from the University of Hong Kong?”
Tiffany looked at the other person’s sitting posture and frowned: “Does your husband know that you are indistinguishable from a monkey in private? Beware of being returned.”
“You need to care!” Lu Peiying glared at the other person, then inserted a piece of watermelon and handed it to Tiffany’s mouth: “Come on, take a bite, and tell me quickly, how did you pursue you?”
“I haven’t seen each other.” Tiffany spit out the smoke, and then took a bite of the watermelon with the probe, looking up a little dazedly at the constantly darkened but dimmed ceiling under the refraction of the screen light.
Peiying Lu stared at Tiffany without making a sound, until Tiffany retracted her gaze, Peiying Lu remained stunned, and Tiffany smiled and said, “What’s the matter?”
“Even if I was awful before my marriage, I met with my man, talked to him, and inquired about his details. How can anyone not even see him in the marriage? It’s not the Qing Dynasty now!” Lu Peiying said, “You didn’t mean you Is your father very enlightened? Will not interfere with your marriage.”
“There are always accidents, it’s like a movie.” Tiffany looked at the movie being played on the screen, the American movie “Outside the Whirlpool”: “I’m in a family, how can I escape from the whirlpool.”
“Who are you going to marry?” Lu Peiying was a little sad, and patted Tiffany’s back lightly: “Look a little bit, it’s like me, it’s okay to marry Ashin, it’s too bad if you don’t help me find a husband. Feelings… can also be cultivated slowly after marriage.”
Tiffany removed the crystal ashtray on the coffee table next to his hand, revealing the following picture, and handed it to Lu Peiying: “Hey, the person you introduced before is the same person. You said his name is Song Tianyao. When I saw him, he said he It’s called Shi Yehui.”
Lu Peiying almost dropped the fruit tray, put it down in a hurry, and took the photo of Tiffany. Regardless of the movie being screened, she turned on the lamp on the coffee table and used the light to clearly see the portrait in the photo.
This is not a single figure, but a group of shadows. The core position of the photo is occupied by three people. Chu Xiaoxin, Mrs. Beth and Mrs. Governor of Hong Kong are just in the corner. Song Tianyao is standing near the edge of the photo, not looking at it intently. The camera was looking into the distance absent-mindedly, frowning slightly, while Song Tianyao was circled with a red pen on the photo.
“This is… This is a photo of Oxfam when it was founded. Ah Yao is the treasurer of Oxfam.” Lu Peiying retracted her gaze from the photo and looked at Tiffany: “It’s Ah Yao? Wow, wouldn’t it be great? Ah Yao’s villa is adjacent to my house. I want to find you in the future. You don’t need to let the servants drive, just walk for two minutes. His villa is still selected by Brother Xin and I, which is very good.”
“When I saw him, he said that he was a trainee lawyer, and then he opened a pharmacy in Yingdexi at home. There was also a female secretary surnamed Jiang who claimed to be the one who helped him take care of the pharmacy. The six-person dining table that was forced to go to the table was perfunctory, but I was having a good time. Maybe at that time I felt that I didn’t need to be too alert to a group of people who didn’t have much overlap. I drank some wine and sang a song, if not. You introduced him in advance. At that time, maybe I really believed that his name was Shi Yehui and that he was a trainee lawyer.” Tiffany took the photo and glanced at it and said to Lu Peiying.
“How did you go around in the end even your father chose Ah Yao? But speaking, Ah Yao is a good person, he is affectionate and righteous, and most importantly, he is very smart, smart enough to make Uncle Zong, my father, and uncle alike. To the point of praise, you also know that my father, it is difficult to praise a person. His disciple, Lawyer Ji, wanted him to boast that he could increase his business and make more money, but he was scolded by him, saying that his brain was too dead. It was difficult to become a big weapon, so that Lawyer Ji was about to be depressed, but when he praised Ah Yao, my father was full of praise. While persuading his family to stay away from Ah Yao, he praised Ah Yao for being bold and careful. He used to boast. Ruthless, now it’s a steady hand.” When I heard that her girlfriend’s marriage partner was Song Tianyao, Lu Peiying suddenly became interested. Talking about the views of her surroundings on Song Tianyao, she hoped to help Tiffany give some detailed information. She knows Song Tianyao better:
“Brother Xin said about Ah Yao, he was also very happy, every time he gets drunk, he will mention Ah Yao, saying that without Ah Yao, he will not have today, saying that Ah Yao is his lucky star, and he will be brothers and friends with Ah Yao for the rest of his life, Xin Ah Yao can’t be wrong, wow, sometimes you won’t believe it. I heard him say Ah Yao, to the point that it makes me jealous.”
“Then do you know what Song Tianyao did in exchange for the compliments these people praised him?” Tiffany threw the photo back on the coffee table, turned off the lamp, plunged the room into darkness, and continued to watch the movie. The tone was a little faint and said: “I guess you don’t know, but I already know.”
