Chapter 18: Identity
Lu Xiyan needs an identity, an identity that can protect himself.
Monte is right about this.
The question is, although Professor Daniel values him as a student, he is a yellow-skinned Chinese after all. Will he give himself this letter of recommendation or a telegram?
He knew that the professor was a little arrogant and arrogant, especially he didn't like to get involved in politics.
I tossed and turned until three or four o'clock in the morning and fell asleep in a daze.
Get up early the next morning.
"Meimei, why are you here..."
"Brother Anzi, I'm up. I've made breakfast and bought fried bread. It's still hot. It's just delicious when you get up." Lu Xiyan looked back and saw Meng Fanxing standing behind him.
"Meimei, it's only what time, why are you getting up so early?" Lu Xiyan walked into the bathroom yawning, turned on the faucet, and stimulated himself with cold water first.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up. I haven't lived in Shanghai for many years and I almost couldn't speak Shanghainese anymore. When I went out in the morning, I walked away and greeted my neighbors. I didn't know how to open my mouth."
"I wasn't used to it when I first came back, but now it's much better. You, you'll have no problem talking more." I brushed my teeth and washed my face.
A scent came to my nose.
"It's really fragrant. It's the fried bread from Luochun Pavilion. What are you doing when you run so far in the early morning?" Lu Xiyan recognized the fragrance at a glance. This is the fried bread from Luochun Pavilion, a famous restaurant in Shanghai. This delicacy, from celebrities, financial industry tycoons, to peddlers, has a special liking.
The cute little buns are sprinkled with some yellow sesame seeds and green scallions before they are released. The bottom of the buns are fried with golden oily aroma, with the aroma of green onion and the fragrance of sesame. When mixed together, the taste can instantly arouse the desire in the heart.
Reach out and pick up one directly.
Take a bite and lightly squeeze the soup, the soup is fragrant and the filling is even more tender and tasty, making it endless aftertaste.
"tasty!"
"Use chopsticks, if it tastes delicious, Brother Anzi, I'll buy it for you every day." Meng Fanxing smiled. She was also surprised to be able to meet Lu Xiyan again this time and say what she said in her heart.
Everything is like a dream. I really hope that this dream will not wake up.
Five years ago, she was the age of a 16-year-old girl. At that time, Meng Fanxing had just started to fall in love. Lu Xiyan was one of the few boys she could have come into contact with. In addition, the two families were aristocratic families, and Lu Xiyan also took good care of this sister. Meng Fanxing naturally fell in love with this brother.
Later, Lu Xiyan went to France to study. Although he also came back with letters, the distance was too far away. Gradually, this hazy feeling was replaced by the enthusiasm of faith.
After running away from home for three years, there are many excellent men around me. Meng Fanxing always unconsciously compares those people with Lu Xiyan.
Because of the particularity of her work, she has a good impression of her personal emotions, even if she meets someone she likes, she has not taken that step and has always protected herself very well.
Until this reunion, her heart was a little confused.
Lu Xiyan risked his life to protect himself without reservation, and the string deep in her heart was once again touched.
Especially when she established the "relationship" between the two in front of her father, she felt a faint sense of interesting joy in her heart.
"No need to be so troublesome. Just eat it once a while. I'm not that hungry."
After eating, Meng Fanxing stood up and cleaned up the dishes.
Lu Xiyan couldn't help but feel an unspeakable feeling in his heart. This feeling was something he hadn't been in Paris for five years.
"Well, I'll go down first. The clinic should be opened. Meimei, you can lock the door yourself later."
"good."
"Doctor Lu, morning!"
"Grandma Liu, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten, Dr. Lu, you are so lucky. I married such a virtuous and beautiful woman..." The grandma smiled in her face.
"Haha, grandma, where are you feeling uncomfortable today?" Lu Xiyan smiled slightly, feeling quite beautiful.
"Oh, I sprained my ankle when I went out yesterday. Dr. Lu, show me?" Grandma Liu rolled up her trousers and said.
"Okay, sit down and I'll show you..."
Although the small clinic was opened not long ago, Lu Xiyan was kind and patient with patients. The fees were not high. Many neighbors were willing to come to his small clinic if they had a minor problem.
"Next."
When Lu Xiyan saw the person whom Meng Fanxing led in, he was shocked.
"Doctor Lu, have I eaten a stomachache? I've been irritated seven or eight times since last night, and my intestines are almost pulled out..."
Lu Xiyan's face looked embarrassed. Look at your rosy face, you don't look like a patient with severe diarrhea.
"Go over there, lie down, I'll check it out for you."
“…”
"Meimei, go out and watch it, don't let other patients come in."
"OK."
...
"What's going on? Why did you run over?" The person lying on the clinic bed was Lao Liu, code name: Skinny Monkey.
"My third brother is looking for you, turn the corner in front of the street, and the private room on the third floor of Guangyuan Teahouse."
"He's desperate, dares to run out before the wound heals?"
"I'm only responsible for passing the message." The thin monkey smiled and revealed two rows of cunning white teeth.
"You don't look like a patient with diarrhea. When you go out later, do what I said..." Lu Xiyan said.
“Huh…”
When you go in alone, how can you become like a tuberculosis when you come out?
Meng Fanxing looked at Lu Xiyan with suspicious eyes. What happened inside in just a few minutes?
Finally, after seeing this wave of patients, Lu Xiyan remembered the date of Scar Huang San, explained to Meng Fanxing, took out her coat, and came to Guangyuan Teahouse.
Without a little tail, although Lu Xiyan's anti-reconnaissance level is only a little superficial, his intuition is very sharp.
"Sir, please come in."
"Third floor, private room, Mr. Huang." Lu Xiyan replied, walked straight through the lobby and walked towards the stairs.
When he pushed open the box, there was only Huang San inside. The guy had a beard, wore a top hat, and his hair covered the scar on his forehead.
Such a thing is not easy to recognize.
"Doctor Lu, the tea is cold, do you want to change a pot?" Seeing Lu Xiyan, a smile appeared on Huang San's face.
"No, I'm not here to have tea."
"I forgot that Dr. Lu has drunk foreign ink and likes to drink coffee, but this is a teahouse and does not provide coffee." Huang San said with a smile.
"Tell me, you ran out so desperately and asked me to meet me in such a place. What's the matter?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"We just want to ask Dr. Lu to do a little favor."
"Help, what are you doing?" Lu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat. The group of people wanted to pull him into the gang first, but now they asked him to help. It's easy to get on the boat, but it's difficult to get off the boat?
"Our elder brother had a deposit of money in the HSBC safe before his death. Now that the elder brother is gone, we need to withdraw this money."
"Then you just go and take it out. What's the point of being embarrassed about?"
"This money is not easy to withdraw, and there are people watching it."
"What do you mean is someone else's idea of making this money?" Lu Xiyan understood, "What does this have to do with me? Have you found the wrong person?"
"Doctor Lu, look at this photo." Huang San slowly pulled out a photo from his arms and handed it over.
The photo shows a man wearing a satin top, who is less than 40 years old, wearing a pair of round sunglasses, posing with a beard, holding a civilization stick in his hand, especially a huge jade ring on his ring finger, which looks very valuable at first glance.
"Who is this?"
"My elder brother, we all call him military advisor." Huang San said slowly.
"Military advisor?" Lu Xiyan was a little surprised. After looking closely, his eyes suddenly widened. Why is the outline of the face in this photo similar to his own?
