Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 47
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Xu Baoji walked off the stage. From today onwards, there would be another young lady surnamed Xu in Shanghai, whether she was cultured or not, whether she could dance or not, whether she understood family politics or not, as long as Du Yuesheng admired her, she would be a young lady.
“Waa, Big Brother, why are you here as well?” Only now did Xu Bao notice that his husband had also come. He was very excited and quickly ran over to Du Yuesheng’s side without even bothering about Du Yuesheng.
He even proudly asked, “Did Big Brother listen to my singing just now? Did you hear it?”
Only this little girl had a face full of pride after doing such a shocking thing. He awkwardly introduced her to Du Yuesheng, “Mister Du, this is my wife. I’ve let you down.”
Du Yuesheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing Wu Anguo’s words. Then, she quickly returned to her usual self as she smiled and said, “This lady’s singing is very good. She is also a naive and romantic person. I like her very much. You are fortunate.”
Xu Bao saw that this mister was speaking with even more gentleness and awkwardness than Song Yihan, and that it was indeed very strenuous of him to say such words, but he was quite sincere in his guess, and did not play any tricks either. Xu Bao thought that this mister was a good person, so he sweetly smiled and said: “Big Brother Du, just call me Little Treasure, and remember to treat me to a delicious meal next time. Today, I’ll eat here first, and there’s a lot of food here too, I haven’t even finished it yet.”
Du Yuesheng laughed loudly upon hearing Xu Bao’s words. She was very happy, and did not find Big Brother Du’s words unpleasant to the ears.
The girl was really too powerful. No matter how blind she was, she could tell that the person in front of her had a very high status, and while he was speaking, no one else dared to interrupt, but the girl just randomly called out for her big brother and even had a very natural look on her face. However, Qiu Lingzhu had completely forgotten that she and Xu Bao had gotten to know each other this way.
“Good, good, good. Today, you have had a great time. Brother Du, I will treat you to a big meal some other day.” Du Yuesheng said in a friendly manner with a cordial smile on her face. It was completely different from how she was when she was being courteous to Commander Liu. It was only then that she realized she was actually smiling.
On the way back, he had repeatedly warned Wu Anguo that he must pay attention to Du Yuesheng. He must let Xu Bao have a good relationship with him; whether or not he could return to Shanxi Province in the future all depended on this.
Wu Anguo didn’t want to refute Army Commander Liu on the surface, but he was still quite disgusted with the idea of rallying with him. Even if he did go himself, he still wanted to use that silly little girl.
When they separated from General Liu and left the couple, Wu Anguo decided to have a good talk with the little girl. In Shanghai, fish and dragons were not as common as in Shanxi, and at that time, he could still be the boss of a place, but here, he could very possibly offend someone he shouldn’t offend.
But how to speak was a problem.
Wu Anguo didn’t know how to start a conversation, but Xu Bao kept talking, “Big brother, let me tell you something. Today, I ate fried beef, fried beef, curried beef, beef soup, pig ears, pork tenderloin, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig’s feet, gongbao chicken, roasted chicken wings, chicken legs …”
“Ugh!” Xu Bao was about to say something else, but the fierce Wu Anguo pressed her against the wall, fiercely kissed her, sucked her, probed with his tongue, and licked her until Xu Bao was out of breath. Wu Anguo released her, smiled, and said, “I tasted chicken legs, not bad.”
Xu Bao immediately shut his mouth with a red face. He didn’t dare to publish her gluttonous report again, fearing that his big brother would personally taste it again.
Wu Anguo forgot what he needed to tell them as soon as they became intimate. He had been running back and forth during this time, and more and more women started sticking close to him, making him feel very tired. He really wanted to eat the little girl to satisfy his craving, but when he thought about how naive and innocent she would blush so much when she kissed him, and wondered if she had been poisoned, Wu Anguo could only continue to endure.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Du Yuesheng actually had someone come to pick up Xu Bao, saying that they would treat his sister to a meal.
Wu Anguo coincidentally was called away by General Liu. That glutton Xu Bao had no resistance at all towards food. Moreover, Big Brother Du didn’t look like a bad person, so she skipped out.
Du Yuesheng was relatively thin. Her long robe did not match her position as the head of the underworld. He looked at the girl across from him with a smile on his face.
However, he liked this feeling. This restaurant was the most famous one in Shanghai, so it was very tasty. He often visited here to entertain guests, and today, he had reserved this entire floor.
The waiter was trained by the foreigners and knew the rules very well. He didn’t dare to look at her or speak carelessly, but he was still shocked. Who was this little girl that Master Du paid so much attention to?
Xu Bao had finished sweeping through the dishes on the table and felt that he was almost full. He looked up at Du Yuesheng and smiled, “Big Brother Du, I’m full.”
If there was some soup on top, it would be even more beautiful. He took out a handkerchief and wiped Xu Bao’s face carefully. Xu Bao was smiling foolishly, just like Big Brother Mao Du, who liked to wipe his own face.
After wiping, Du Yuesheng pinched Xu Bao’s cheek and said with a smile, “Eating so much meat and growing so thin, how unfortunate for those dead pigs and sheep.”
Xu Bao chuckled, “Even pigs, cows, sheep, and sheep died. It would only be a waste if they didn’t eat it.”
Du Yuesheng was even more happy. Ever since he had become the boss of the Qing Gang, opened the Chinese Bank of Huihui and even held the position of Director Hua of the Public Administration, there were very few people who could talk to him like that. He was also used to it.
“Let’s go. Big Brother Du, come and take you to the stable to play after dinner.” Du Yuesheng laughed.
Xu Bao touched his belly, feeling a little full. It was just right for him to digest this, so he nodded in agreement.
The group of people arrived at the racetrack, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.
Xu Bao followed Du Yuesheng to the grandstand. Seeing that many people were holding binoculars, he was very excited, as if he had returned to the feeling of being with his fifty soldiers that were holding binoculars to catch wild beasts.
As Du Yuesheng walked along, many people greeted her. He had no choice but to respond courteously. Xu Bao was completely captivated by the horses on the horse farm and did not notice the surprised and curious gazes from the people around him.
Du Yuesheng gave Xu Bao a pair of goggles. Although Xu Bao had just eaten his meal, when he saw the strong and well-proportioned horse legs and belly, he felt hungry again. He really missed the wild antelope he had eaten in the mountains.
Seeing how focused Xu Bao was, Du Yuesheng was very happy. She thought that she liked betting on horses and asked, “Which one do you favor, we can bet.”
Xu Bao didn’t understand what the bet meant, but he understood that Big Brother Du was asking her which one she liked. From Xu Bao’s many years of experience eating meat, he had to see whether the meat was tasty or not. It all depended on whether the animal had developed hair or was healthy enough, and it had nothing to do with how handsome the horse was.
Finally, Xu Bao pointed to a slightly plump horse. I like that one.
Du Yuesheng followed Xu Bao’s finger and looked over. She said with a frown, “That’s number five. He looks a little fat, so he might not be able to run fast. However, since you chose it, I’ll bet on it.”
Du Yuesheng very generously made her bet a hundred yuan.
At this moment, a foreigner walked over and shouted, “Muddleheaded Tadu, it’s good to meet you. So, which number did you take a fancy to?”
Du Yuesheng looked and saw that it was the German, Hans, who had previously dealt with him because of his firearms. Hans was very domineering and he spoke very arrogantly because he had to deal with business, but in this era, foreigners were the most powerful people. Even if Du Yuesheng did not like him, she still had to reply politely, “I bought Number Five. What do you think, Mr. Hans?”
When Hans heard Number Five, he immediately shouted out in an exaggerated manner, “No! No! No! “Treadmill, you Chinese have bad eyesight. Listen to me. No. 7 and No. 7 horses are very strong, Japanese horses, and very resilient. They will definitely be first place. What do you say, beautiful lady?”
Xu Bao did not even look at the Japanese horse that the foreigner was referring to. She had just seen it before, and peeping at cattle in the countryside was very focused. She firmly said, “Number 5 is good, No. 7 is bad.”
It was the first time that Hans had lost face in front of a Chinese. However, since the other party was a girl, he was embarrassed to throw a tantrum. He touched his nose and said, “Let’s make a bet. If you win on the 5th, I will sell you the weapons on the car. If you win on the 7th, I would like to invite this beautiful lady for dinner. ”
Du Yuesheng did not nod. Instead, she called for her subordinates in front of Hans and added a thousand yuan to the stakes. In an instant, the entire arena was stirred. Who could be so generous? It turned out to be Master Du, as expected, it was Master Du …
Hans was very unhappy with Du Yuesheng’s actions. His white face turned red and he had to make the servant beside him place a bet number seven, 800 yuan. Oh, no 500 yuan, right? Chinese businessmen are so damn rich, he cursed.
Buying a hundred is already a big deal. Du Yuesheng actually dropped a thousand, making the number five horse the center of everyone’s attention. But no matter how you look at it, this horse is a bit fatter and chubby. Can he run?” It couldn’t be that Master Du had too much money to play around with.
Du Yuesheng did not intend to win. She just did not want to see the German being too arrogant. Business matters could be discussed, but there was no point in discussing it having someone by her side to accompany her for a meal.
Although a small portion of the people had bought number 5 because of Du Yuesheng’s reputation, like Hans, everyone had seen horses every day. No matter how you looked at it, number 7 was better, and there were a lot of people who bought number 7, so number 5 had a very high payout rate.
At the start of the match, # 5 was just like how everyone had seen it. It was running leisurely, always at a later position. The spectators at the podium were all sighing. Hans was even more pleased with himself. The No.7 he had bought had always been in the lead.
Du Yuesheng looked at the leisurely number five horse and then looked at the unflustered little girl beside her. She thought to herself, “This little girl has chosen according to her personality. That horse is rather fat and quite cute.”
Just as he was thinking this, the crowd suddenly started clamoring, usually because there was an unexpected dark horse on the field, he held his glasses and looked, and sure enough, number 5 fat horse, was steadily going faster and faster, fat horse not only ran fast, but also had a lot of strength, on the same track, other horses were being chased and pushed away by it, scared away.
Du Yuesheng was also excited. This was too exciting. Hurry up and do your best. If Number 5 surpasses another horse, he would be the champion.
Xu Bao narrowed his eyes, feeling hungry. The fastest runner would always be the first to be cooked.
