Chapter 10 The Time of the Week

Thirty-nine-year-old Mo Meilan used Green mouthwash to rinse away the smell of alcohol from the time she was socializing with friends. Then she looked at the makeup mirror built into the wall, carefully traced the lipstick, and confirmed the color in the mirror.

After he was still perfect, he walked out of the bathroom and prepared to see Sheng Jiashu. He did not bother to change out of the evening dress he was wearing for entertainment, but directly asked the servant to put on a beige long coat for him.

The maids who were waiting next to her couldn't help but be curious. The fifth girl had obviously covered herself with a coat, but her slender and graceful body curves could still be seen clearly.

With the modern wavy hair of old Shanghai, a pretty and gorgeous face, a pair of slender eyes, and a gaze that is half indifferent and one half playful, the unique charm of a mature woman can turn the flame in a man's heart almost instantly.

Flirting is strong.

Pushing open the door of the office, Mo Meilan's eyes lit up when she saw Sheng Jiashu appearing in front of her. The eyebrows and eyes of Sheng Jiashu in front of her were exactly the same as those of Sheng Sihai when she was young, except that Sheng Sihai was more rough and the Sheng Jiashu in front of her was more gentle.

"Aunt Lan, long time no see." Sheng Jiashu took off his woolen hat and smiled at Mo Meilan who came in.

"I thought you had to hide until you couldn't hide any more before you would come to see me." As she spoke, Mo Meilan walked towards the executive desk, grabbed a lady's menthol cigarette on the desk and lit one, then walked to Sheng Jiashu and took a closer look.

After looking at her carefully for a while, he slowly said, "Ma Jingui, that guy on the street, really didn't lie to me. He said you look exactly like your father when he was young."

"I'm his son. If I don't look like him..." Sheng Jiashu touched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mo Meilan: "Hey, don't talk like this.

If you’re joking, come sit down, Qixi, and help Pete Tsai make a cup of American ginseng tea.”

Sheng Jiashu looked at the girl in hunting clothes who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa and looking at him after he walked in. It turned out that the girl in hunting clothes was actually called Qixi?

Qixi noticed Sheng Jiashu's gaze, raised her chin proudly, snorted, and turned around to go out.

"Coke, Qixi, Aunt Lan, are you so casual in naming your servants?" Sheng Jiashu hung the felt hat on the coat rack and sat down on the leather sofa with Mo Meilan.

Mo Meilan looked at Sheng Jiashu and asked casually: "I heard someone say today that Ma Jingui wanted to see you off at the dock and even drew a gun with Ba Zhiqing. Why didn't you leave?"

"How to leave? Uncle Gui was almost hacked to death by Uncle Eight Finger's men. Of course I can't leave. Besides, my family's revenge has not been avenged yet." Sheng Jiashu took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He took a deep breath and blew out two pillars of smoke.

Then he looked at Mo Meilan: "What's more, even if I'm not afraid of Mom and Dad scolding me for being unfilial below, I'm also afraid that Aunt Lan will go to the United States to teach me a lesson."

Mo Meilan was the sworn sister of Sheng Jiashu's mother, Tan Meifang, when she worked as a dancer in a Guangzhou restaurant. She was considered the first batch of dancers in the Guangzhou restaurant. There were five dancers in that batch at that time. Because the Guangzhou restaurant is located in Sai Ying Pun, the five were also nicknamed "

"Five Beauties of Sai Ying Pun" and "Five Phoenixes of Wine Country".

Sheng Jiashu's mother, Tan Meifang, is the eldest sister among the five. After meeting Sheng Sihai, she quit the business and became the woman behind the eldest brother in the world. As for the other four sisters, the second sister Lu Meiyao became a rich man's mistress.

Concubine, my family left Hong Kong and went to Brazil in the early days of the fall of Hong Kong. During the Japanese occupation, the third sister Zhang Meixiu’s residence was told to the Japanese by traitors. The Japanese knew that she was famous for her beauty. When they came to arrest her, Zhang Meixiu burned herself behind closed doors in order to avoid being humiliated.

After his death, the fourth sister He Meizhu married the son of a concubine who was driven to Hong Kong by the Vietnamese rice king Liu after the family failed to fight for the family property. He opened a dance hall and had no worries about food and clothing. The four sisters all washed up their hands early and quit the world, but only one

The youngest and fifth girl, Mo Meilan, has never married well. On the contrary, the older she gets, the more attractive she becomes. Countless wealthy businessmen are enthusiastically pursuing her. Moreover, relying on her extensive connections, she was invited by Li Caifa to serve as the head waiter at Lichi Nightclub.

The word "Five Girls" has also become a legend in Hong Kong's romantic world.

Mo Meilan often visited the Sheng family to visit Tan Meifang, so the Sheng family regarded Aunt Lan as a family member. What's more, even her three brothers could see that Mo Meilan had special thoughts about her father Sheng Sihai.

.

There are rumors in the world that the fifth girl Mo Meilan fell in love at first sight with the new gangster Sheng Sihai, but she was kidnapped by the eldest sister Tan Meifang. The two sisters turned against each other and started fighting. Sheng Jiashu felt that it was impossible to turn against each other, but Mo Meilan was very interested in it.

My father's usual attitude is that he really can't complain about rumors.

Sheng Jiashu even remembered that before he went to the United States to study at the age of sixteen, his parents had a rare quarrel. The main idea was that his mother Tan Meifang asked his father Sheng Sihai to agree to something. As a result, his father Sheng Sihai refused to let go and was kicked out by his mother.

She went to live outside for half a month. After that, Mo Meilan's visits became very rare. According to her mother's personality, she knew without guessing that she would probably ask her father, Sheng Sihai, to marry Mo Meilan.

go home.

"If you really leave today and dare to go to Hong Kong again in the future, I will definitely find someone to break your legs and make you kneel in front of your parents' graves every day." Mo Meilan took out an envelope from the drawer in front of the sofa.

: "Inside is a 200,000 Hong Kong dollar note from Hantec Bank. It can be redeemed on sight. I will keep it for your expenses during this period. Later, you can come with me to toast a few glasses of wine and introduce some people to you. Don't worry, Hesheng

Only your Sheng family can sit at the leading position in the hall."

Qixi walked in with two cups of ginseng tea, placed them in front of Sheng Jiashu and Mo Meilan, then casually sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Mo Meilan, put her head on Mo Meilan's shoulder, and looked at the two

People talk.

"Uncle Gui prepared 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for me when he picked me up. Aunt Lan, you were more generous and gave me 200,000 Hong Kong dollars as pocket money." Sheng Jiashu did not touch the envelope, but picked up the ginseng tea and smelled it:

"I think you must be planning to introduce a few detectives and a few gangsters to me and let them be my backers. Wow, it is really rare to be able to drink authentic Eagle Brand Ginseng Tea in Hong Kong."

Mo Meilan stroked Qixi's hair with her hands and said: "I heard that Americans like to drink American ginseng tea. If you like it too, ask Qixi to send other ginseng tea to your home later and keep it for you.

Drink slowly."

"I can accept the tea, but forget about the money and the few glasses of wine." Sheng Jiashu took a sip of ginseng tea and put down the teacup.

Before Mo Meilan could speak, Qixi, who was as docile as a cat beside Mo Meilan, had straightened up and glared at Sheng Jiashu, spouting words like a stream of words: "Do you know how much Aunt Lan has put into and done for your family's affairs?

Get ready, you think you can get those people to agree to help you, how many favors will Aunt Lan use! You won’t even say thank you! You don’t know what’s good or bad!”

"Shut up! Get out!" Mo Meilan shouted, Qixi glared at Sheng Jiashu angrily, but finally listened to Mo Meilan's words. Although her movements were slow, she saw that Mo Meilan had no intention of staying, so she finally

He obediently walked out of the room, but he didn't forget to give Sheng Jiashu a few rolls of eyes before leaving.

Seeing Mo Meilan grab the cigarette case on the table, Sheng Jiashu helped Mo Meilan rub the lighter, put the flame towards it, and said: "I know Aunt Lan must have put a lot of thought into it for me, but according to Aunt Lan's instructions

I think, even if I sit on the leading position, I won't be stable for long. How long can those backers be relied on, and how long can Aunt Lan's favor last? People still have to rely on themselves, what do you think, Aunt Lan? Besides, Aunt Lan, originally

I should have avoided seeing you, but you came here on the first night. You don’t want to ask me why I came to see you?”

Mo Meilan lit the cigarette with the flame: "Why?"

"Actually, I came here this time to ask Aunt Lan to arrange a secret meeting between me and Third Uncle, and then ask you to protect me in the past few days, otherwise Uncle Eight Fingers and Uncle Hui will take me to their gambling stall to stay permanently.

When will you kill Third Uncle and when will you let me out?" Sheng Jiashu said, holding up the lighter and looking at the flame.

Mo Meilan pulled back her forward leaning body and looked at Sheng Jiashu: "What's wrong with killing him? If he has this idea about the position of the Sheng family, he should be killed... No... How could you think of this?"

Mo Meilan's impression of Sheng Jiashu is that he is an obedient student boy. He is always polite and humble when meeting people, and he smiles before saying anything. He also works as an accountant in the United States. However, with his words just now, it is obvious that Sheng Jiashu is wary of Ba Zhiqing.

Hei Guzhu, the elders of Heshengtang, must bypass them and talk to Huo Niu privately.

This is not what a young man who is not familiar with the world should do.

"I'm not interested in being the leader of Heshengtang. I came back this time to avenge my family, so I'm going to focus on business." Sheng Jiashu looked at Mo Meilan and said in a serious tone: "I say this, Aunt Lan, do you believe it?

?"

Mo Meilan nodded: "Believe it, you are not a Jianghu person to begin with, and you have never walked out before, why don't you believe it."

"Then I have already said that I am not going to be the leader, but why do the old guys still bring me up, looking like a loyal minister? Just because I am a Sheng family member, and everyone takes turns to be the leader of this society. Is there anything wrong with that?

?" Sheng Jiashu flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said in a depressed tone: "I really have no interest in playing house with a bunch of old guys, and my role is still to be the one who plays the idiot. I just want to do business and don't want these worlds.

Things, the Hongmen rules bother me, what is the most important thing I should do when I return to Hong Kong?"

"Calm people's hearts and stabilize Heshengtang..." Mo Meilan said subconsciously.

Sheng Jiashu interrupted Mo Meilan's answer, left the sofa, leaned forward, put his face in front of Mo Meilan and stared at Mo Meilan: "What I should do most is to find the enemy who killed my family!

Whether those people in Heshengtang live or die has nothing to do with me!"

Mo Meilan stared at Sheng Jiashu for dozens of seconds before slowly speaking: "You want to..."

"Trouble Aunt Lan, find someone to protect me for a week. One week is enough. I already gave instructions when I left the United States. After a week, my American friends will come to visit me." Sheng Jiashu sat back in his seat and returned to his normal state.
