Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 46
The second floor of the banquet hall was very brightly lit, but it seemed to be quite serious. Although there were noises coming from downstairs from time to time, the atmosphere was still a bit tense.
Sitting in the main seat was a man wearing a long robe. He looked very gentle, like a teacher. However, the fact that he was sitting there put quite a bit of pressure on the two tall people sitting opposite him.
Sitting across from him was a slightly older man with a slightly plump body. The man with the shiny back of his head politely said, “No one knows about Mr Dean’s power in Shanghai. It has been a blessing to be able to drink tea with him today.”
“Thank you, Commander Liu.” The man in the long gown only faintly smiled, but the way he addressed Ye Zichen made the fattening middle-aged man feel slightly embarrassed.
This man was General Liu, but at the moment, he was only a public servant of General Liu.
“Mister Du is too courteous. That is all in the past. You can just call me Chang Shan.” Commander Liu said humbly.
The young man sitting next to Commander Liu was Wu Anguo. He looked solemn, and it was not his turn to speak. Even if he was smiling, no one would answer him. Therefore, he just sat there obediently without saying anything.
Du Yuesheng only glanced at this young man. From Liu Changshan’s introduction, she could tell that he was a very upright person, just that he did not stand on the right side of the group. Even though he had escaped, he did not feel at a disadvantage.
However, as for Liu Changshan, your leader, Commander Feng, is not dead yet. You are in a hurry to find him again, and entrusted him with the task. Although his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek is not bad, he does not like people like him.
The matter of Shanghai’s territory naturally could not escape Du Yuesheng’s eyes. At the moment, he was very courteous and sociable, but he did not have any intentions of helping Liu Changshan, who was sweating profusely from talking. He felt that the temperature in the room was too high and was very uncomfortable, but it was not like he could take off his clothes on this occasion. When one was under a roof, one had no choice but to lower their head.
When Wu Anguo saw this conversation, he didn’t think it would be any use. He raised his head to look at the lively scene below and curiously said, “Mr Du’s banquet is really a gathering of people. It’s so lively.”
Du Yuesheng said with a laugh, “I like liveliness. Let’s go out and take a look.”
As he spoke, the group of people stood up and walked to the railing of the second floor. They could take a look at the elegance below. Truly, there were many beauties gathered there, their voices filled with song and song.
Commander Liu stood up and walked around. He was no longer that warm and restrained, and the good impression he had of Wu Anguo increased by one point. This young man had a good eye, and it was not in vain that he brought him out to run around. Now, they didn’t need to be afraid of giving him any looks. As long as he could stand up again, he would be a good man with both a weapon and a soldier.
Wu Anguo said that in order to solve the problem, but in fact, he didn’t like this kind of environment at all. If it weren’t for the Army Commander’s constant request for him to come, he definitely wouldn’t have come. He was a soldier, liked to hold a gun, loved to fight, and battlefield was his world, and here, no matter how he felt uncomfortable, especially with the women in Shanghai, they were too open, their clothes were exposed, they talked for a bit, and then they leaned against him, which made him uncomfortable, the strong perfume made him feel uncomfortable, and he really missed his little girl.
It was unknown whether or not he had been cold to her recently. Wu Anguo’s mind suddenly recalled the cute, innocent, and gluttonous look of the little girl. He couldn’t help but let out a faint smile.
Wu Anguo suddenly felt as if he was hallucinating as the crowd gathered below him and the girl standing in the center looked like his own little girl. Wu Anguo shook his head, he really missed that little girl too much.
If one were to hear that crisp and clear voice, it sounded like the little girl at home who really wanted to eat something and was drooling, did Wu Anguo feel that he had a magical illness? Why is that girl’s shadow everywhere?
He rubbed his eyes. Damn, the one standing in the middle of the stage was really his girl. She … She … She actually wanted to sing the song ‘Third Mother’s Son’ …
Wu Anguo felt a little dizzy. He looked down at the group of people dressed in fashionable colors, then at the pure and innocent lass on the stage. He was speechless. Who could tell him what was going on?
Du Yuesheng was also stunned. When she heard the little girl in a red qipao say that the host of the banquet was going to deliver a mysterious feast, did he say such words?
Currently, the young ladies of the tenth generation were becoming more and more outrageous. They were actually using such a rotten excuse to get close to him. As the young man of the eightieth generation, Du Yuesheng was very disgusted with them. However, he did not think that when he was his age, there was no other young man in Shanghai who was as bad as him.
With this thought in mind, Du Yuesheng lowered his head and stopped watching the farce below. He liked the liveliness, but he was just watching it. He did not want to be part of the liveliness, so he liked the feeling of being high above others.
It was Wu Anguo’s turn to break out in cold sweat. When he heard that sentence … Tell Sanniang not to annoy your computer room… His voice lingered in the air as he sang. It was unknown if it was because he was too impressed with Xu Bao, or because he was too surprised that there was actually a fool who was singing at this moment, or because he was the godson of Third Mother …
Du Yuesheng turned the glass goblet in her hand and heard the words… Tell Sanniang not to annoy your computer room… With a shake of his hand, he spilled half of the wine out of his glass and couldn’t help but think of himself. His parents had died one after the other before he was four years old, and he had been raised by his stepmother and his uncle.
Whatever she did, she would not like it. When he was 14 years old, the mischievous him naturally did not go to school, but his stepmother had spent a lot of effort to get him to become an apprentice in Hongsheng Fruit Company, which made him quickly expelled. He thought that he could leave his stepmother’s control and join the Bajie Party to sell drugs … Until today, it was a glorious day! However, after going through too much suffering, he was finally able to understand his stepmother’s feelings. If he could start over again, he would do as his stepmother requested and learn to work properly …
The entire hall was abnormally quiet. Even Wu Anguo couldn’t believe it. He didn’t know that his little girl’s voice was so pleasant to hear. In his impression, she only had one virtue, and that was that she was particularly good at eating.
After Xu Bao finished singing, he saw that no one was moving. He just stood there like a fool, not knowing what was going on. Could it be that he was being deceived? Could it be that there was no such thing as a mysterious feast? Let me sing, and then they can eat more. This must be the reason. Xu Bao only realized after singing. There was something fishy about it.
“Alright!” Suddenly, a person walked down from the second floor and applauded loudly.
Only then did the people in the audience realize that it was Master Du! Although Master Du held many banquets, he did not show himself very often. When everyone saw him clapping, they immediately followed suit. The group of women who had coaxed Xu Bao just now looked at Master Du in a daze as he walked down the stairs. They seemed to have done something wrong and were about to be unlucky …
Du Yuesheng walked to the front of the stage and said with a smile, “Miss sang very well. I wonder what mysterious feast you want?”
Xu Bao looked at the person in front of him. He wore a long and gentle robe that his own father liked to wear. He asked, “Are you the one holding the banquet?” It’s already said to be a mysterious feast, if I knew, would I still ask you for it? Those big sis said that you would give it to them, so you can’t be shameless. ”
Xu Bao pointed at the group of women who had just called her over to sing, asking them to testify because their father liked to wear long sleeves and also liked to act shamelessly, often disregarding his words.
Du Yuesheng glanced at the women and frowned. There was actually someone doing such a small thing at his banquet.
He, Du Yuesheng, was a man of his word in Shanghai. Sometimes, gangs would quarrel with each other. Just a single word from him was like an imperial edict. No one had ever doubted him.
When the others heard Xu Bao’s words, they sucked in a breath of cold air. Was this woman a fool or was she too daring? How dare he doubt the credibility of Master Du?
Wu Anguo also became anxious as he prayed for the little girl to stop speaking nonsense.
By the side, Commander Liu had already thought that he would be unlucky today. Now that he saw Xu Bao being so brazen on the stage, he felt even more powerless. Crap! Crap! His wife is a fool, but she won’t cause any trouble. Du Yuesheng’s path could not be taken. Before he came, he had asked about Du Yuesheng’s character and how she was the most loyal and trustworthy. He never expected that there would be someone who would question his credibility. Those who had questioned Du Yuesheng were all sent out of Shanghai by Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng did not get angry. He was a gangster from Rolo to his boss, and observation was his basic ability. He especially knew how to judge people, so whether it was warlords, foreigners or government officials, Du Yuesheng was able to handle this kind of land where fish and dragons mixed together.
After speaking with Xu Bao for a while, he understood that this young lady in the 10th and 6th generation must have been fooled. In the Great Shanghai, how long had it been since he last met such an innocent young lady? Sometimes, he would see a pretty good girl at the banquet, but when he walked over and tremblingly called Master Du, his eyes were filled with all sorts of hidden secrets. He was already numb to it.
The little lass before him who was singing the song of ‘Third Mother and Son’ actually didn’t recognize him and was afraid that he would go back on his words. Thus, he smiled.
Du Yuesheng took out a shiny bean from her pocket and the people around her gasped. As expected of Master Du, he was actually playing with diamonds.
Du Yuesheng said to Xu Bao, “How many of these do you think I have in my pocket?”
Xu Bao saw that this teacher was even older than his elder brother, yet he was still playing with glass beads. He was too childish, wasn’t it a little too stupid to play guessing games with such a person? She frowned and asked, “Did you guess correctly? Did you give me something delicious to eat?”
Du Yuesheng nodded. “Yes, I’ve guessed correctly. I’ll give you two pills, and I’ll even treat you to a mysterious feast.” Just before the party, he traded a batch of tobacco with the French. The Frenchman gave him a small bag of diamonds, which he took with him to play with.
Those women who had coaxed Xu Bao to sing just now were especially regretful. If they had known that Master Du would be here, they would have gone to sing. Now, the diamonds could very well be theirs.
Xu Bao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “I guess you have five.”
“Oh …” Wu Anguo was in an uproar. He really wanted to run into a wall. Why was this little girl’s mind filled with nothing but food? Mr Du had clearly said two diamonds!
Du Yuesheng laughed loudly as she walked forward to place two diamonds in Xu Bao’s hands. She said, “I still owe you three diamonds, and a big meal!”
Xu Bao is so happy! I was right! I’m too smart.
