"It's obvious that you don't understand what family means to a person..." Ling Cang let out a long sigh and looked at Lin Xuening, feeling that the two of them were connected by the same fate.
"Then if I say it..." Cao Bingqi timidly suggested: "You must believe it!"
Ling Cang nodded: "As long as what you are telling the truth, we will definitely believe it!"
"Actually...hey..." Cao Bingqi sighed, with a hint of sadness on her young face: "My father was doing business and owed the Jiang family a lot of money. Later, my father died of a heart attack and secretly left some money for me.
, the Jiang family keeps an eye on this money and always wants to take it away from my pocket."
Lin Xuening immediately asked: "What about your mother?"
"He passed away a long time ago..." After Cao Bingqi said this, she sobbed twice, which was really pitiful.
Lin Xuening winked, called Ling Cang aside and asked, "Do you believe what she said?"
"What do you believe? Selling songs is very profitable?"
"Oh, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about their family's affairs."
"I don't know the Jiang family well, so I can't make a judgment." Ling Cang shrugged and continued: "But I know a little bit about psychology and can roughly judge whether she is lying. Generally speaking, whether a person is lying can be determined by the tone of voice.
Judgment can be made based on some changes in the face and some subtle expressions on the face. For example, if the eyes suddenly squint to the side, it means that the sentence is false. Some time ago, you watched Li Gang’s interview about crying chickens and birds. He told
The victim's family kept shaking his head when apologizing, which showed that he was hiding something in his heart. Or it can be said that he shook his head because his subconscious was denying what he said. From this point of view, it can be concluded that Li Gang did not feel any guilt and was his mother from beginning to end.
They're kidding..."
"Why are you talking about those beastly father and son?" Lin Xuening heard these words and remembered that Ling Cang seemed absent-minded just now, but his eyes were fixed on Cao Bingqi's face: "Since you understand psychology, tell me quickly,
How credible is the ice cream story?"
"Eighty percent." Ling Cang took off his glasses and wiped them, then said: "After all, I am not a professional psychologist, so I cannot make a 100% accurate judgment. However, I noticed an interesting detail. She mentioned
He used the word 'passed away' when referring to his mother, but used the word 'dead' when referring to his father."
"What is this indicating?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ling Cang put on his glasses again and asked, "By the way, how much do you know about the Jiang family?"
"Not too many. I only heard that compared to other major families, their family is considered to be in decline." After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuening shook her head: "Whether what she said is true or not, I think it is unlikely that she is.
She is from the Jiang family. After all, her surname is Cao, and the Jiang family seems to have no in-laws, so there should be no relationship between the two."
"Then let's just accept her statement."
"What if the Jiang family comes to visit us?"
"This is possible, she is famous now after all." Ling Cang nodded, and then said: "But since you decided to take her in, even if the Jiang family comes to ask for someone, they will have to fight them away."
"You have to be careful, the Jiang family is not easy to mess with."
"My wife has spoken, and you have to do it even if you don't want to offend her."
"Hateful..." Lin Xuening scolded, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of Cao Bingqi walking over at some point, blinking at herself and Ling Cang with big eyes. "Why are you here?"
Cao Bingqi was honest: "I want to hear what you are talking about."
Lin Xuening was amused and patted Cao Bingqi's head: "We have decided to keep you temporarily until your aunt comes... By the way, you really have an aunt, right?"
Cao Bingqi nodded vigorously: "Of course."
A few people chatted for a while, and soon it was night. The roommates came back one after another, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to do anything else. But Lin Xuening didn't want Ling Cang to leave, so she thought of an idea: "I heard that the Chinese martial arts
There is an event tonight, let’s go over and take a look.”
"It won't be treated as a kicking place, right?"
"We are just visiting and not looking for trouble. They will not misunderstand us."
"That's fine." Ling Cang has always been worried that after the new ancient martial arts association is established, it will arouse the hostility of other associations, and the first one will be the Chinese martial arts association. However, in the past few days, everything has been calm, and the legendary kicking club has not appeared.
So Ling Cang was very curious and wanted to see what the situation was like at Zhongwu.
When we arrived at the gymnasium, we didn’t see any club activities. Instead, more than a hundred people were playing separately. A few girls were dancing with rubber bands, and a boy played the erhu and sang "Edelweiss" with everyone.
There were many couples kissing and hugging in the stands.
"What's going on?" Lin Xuening was stunned: "Tonight is indeed a Chinese martial arts club activity, why did it become a cultural and sports class?"
Ling Cang looked around and called a boy over: "Where is the Zhongwu Club?"
"Zhongwu Club?" The boy scratched his head, and then suddenly realized: "How could this happen... I went to the wrong place!"
Ling Cang had no choice but to ask another girl. The latter pointed at the students who were having fun and said, "That's us."
These people did not wear uniforms, not even sportswear. They seemed to be from all grades. Lin Xuening almost thought that the gymnasium was open for free. Everyone ran in to play. She was shocked when she heard this: "Zhongwu Club...
…How did it become like this?”
"We have always been like this." The girl looked at Ling Cang and suddenly remembered: "Eh? Aren't you the violin prince? Now you are the president of the Guwu Club?"
This sentence attracted many people to come over. None of them showed hostility towards Ling Cang. On the contrary, they were very interested and acted like they were friends and had a good drink. One student even asked bluntly: "Transfer to join."
What procedures should the ancient martial arts association go through?”
The other party was so warm and hospitable that Ling Cang was confused and didn't know what to say. However, after chatting for a few words, Ling Cang roughly understood what was going on.
The Zhongwu Association had two more ambitious presidents who once wanted to annex other associations. Unfortunately, the successors had limited abilities and were unable to realize this ambition.
It is said that Chinese martial arts has a broad spirit, and this breadth means that there are many tricks. As a result, some people want to learn Xingyiquan, some want to practice Tai Chi, and there are also many Qigong enthusiasts. The descendants of Wudang are not convinced by Shaolin Kungfu, Cai Lifu
The master of boxing wants to challenge Wing Chun in a duel.
With so many people in the club, it was already difficult to manage, so the current president simply asked everyone to separate their activities. In this way, there were more tricks to play. At the beginning, there were some related to martial arts, and later it included everything. Plus
The current president has been promoted to the senior year of high school this semester and is preparing for the college entrance examination. He has become increasingly lazy in management, and as a result, the club has become a mess.
The current Chinese martial arts association only has a reputation, but in fact it has no power at all. Everyone who comes here to participate in activities is basically just to kill time.
After leaving the gymnasium, Lin Xuening reminded: "You can look for opportunities to annex Zhongwu, so that you can play a decisive role in No. 1 Middle School."
"That's easy to say..." Ling Cang looked at Lin Xuening and asked strangely: "By the way, you are now in your senior year of high school. Why do I never see you studying?"
"My academic performance is pretty good, but more importantly, I don't want to go to college. I think it is meaningless to waste four years and a lot of energy to get a diploma. Others get diplomas to find a job. Since I
If there is no such problem, why not go to the society to exercise and learn something more useful. When necessary in the future, I may go abroad to study abroad and learn an MBA or something." Lin Xuening smiled and asked: "Who are you?
Don’t you think my idea is ridiculous?”
With Lin Xuening's background, it is easy to find a job. Now that she has got her own shares back, she will definitely run her own business in the future.
As for those students who are admitted to college, no matter how high their academic qualifications are, even if they become Saint Seiyas, as long as they go to Lin's International Trade Center, they will have to work for Lin Xuening.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with your idea." Shrugging his shoulders, Ling Cang said thoughtfully: "The path suitable for everyone is different. There is never a path that is necessarily the Sunshine Avenue that all ordinary people can take.
.As long as you find your own path, why bother crowding the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops."
"That's good." Lin Xuening kissed Ling Cang gently on the cheek and said happily: "I didn't expect you to have such profound insights."
Just as Ling Cang was about to speak, Liang Xiangyu called in: "Hello, is it convenient to talk?"
Ling Cang glanced at Lin Xuening and took two steps forward: "Let's talk now."
"If you have time tonight, I'll take you to a place to play. It's super exciting."
"Brother, you didn't tell me you would take a break for these two days. There will be classes tomorrow, but you have to go out to play tonight. Besides, the high school entrance examination will be in two days, so you have to review your homework anyway."
"You think I don't want to go early, but I just got my membership card."
"Where exactly?"
"It's very mysterious and exciting. You won't regret it if you come." Liang Xiangyu smiled ambiguously and asked, "Are you coming or not?"
"Mysterious? Exciting?" Ling Cang replied without hesitation: "Of course I want to go!"
"You won't review your homework?"
"Let the high school entrance examination go to hell." Ling Cang put down the phone, turned around and told Lin Xuening: "My friend asked me out, I will take you back to the apartment first."
"Okay, oh, by the way..." Lin Xuening took out two thousand yuan from her bag and stuffed it into Ling Cang's pocket without any explanation: "It's impossible for a man to not carry money with him, especially when he is socializing outside, he has no money in his pocket.
Money makes people laugh. You can use it first, and then tell me if you don’t have enough."
"You are so kind." Ling Cang was moved to tears, but at the same time he had this thought: "I heard that rich women in the city will keep men. Am I considered such a pretty boy?"
After sending Lin Xuening back to the apartment, Liang Xiangyu's car arrived. As soon as Ling Cang got in, Liang Xiangyu said impatiently: "Whenever something good happens, I will think of you first. Are you cool, buddy?"
"What is it about this place that makes you so excited?"
"Tell you what..." Liang Xiangyu looked around, as if there were other people in the car: "It's the uniform club."
When Ling Cang heard the word "uniform", he almost had a nosebleed: "Is this the legendary temptation of uniform?"
"You'll know after you go there." After a pause, Liang Xiangyu introduced: "This is a membership-only club and is not open to the public at all. It is also difficult to become a member."
"Then how did you become a member?"
"Let me tell you, the members there do not register, and the identity is actually a card. Because many of the people who go to play are dignitaries, and they often play special things, so their identity cannot be easily exposed." He whistled.
Liang Xiangyu said proudly: "Whoever has the card is a member. I have a friend who happens to have one, and I talked him into it. This is a platinum card. You can bring a friend. There are tens of thousands of dollars left in it.
, enough for us to be cool tonight."
While we were talking, the car came to a commercial street. It was a little close to the edge of the city, but it was still very prosperous. It was hard to believe that this kind of club, which was supposed to be very mysterious, actually opened in a place like this.
Liang Xiangyu took Ling Cang to a European-style building and walked in grandly.
The signboard here is the "European Style Bathhouse". After entering, there is a hall with several sets of sofas. There are already many guests here, some sitting on the sofas changing shoes, and others coming in and out of the bathing area.
Two bunny girls wearing black tights and black fishnet stockings on their legs came over and asked with smiles on their faces: "Excuse me, do you have any membership cards?"
Liang Xiangyu took out a bright silver card and handed it to the other party: "Of course."
There is a floor sign in the lobby, which contains the membership card application method and various membership benefits. Ling Cang noticed that the pattern of the platinum card on it was exactly the same as that of Liang Xiangyu, the only difference was that the latter had a pair of rabbit ears in the upper right corner.
The bunny girl looked at the card and didn't return it to Liang Xiangyu. Instead, she asked: "Would you like to take a bath or rest?"
"rest."
"Please follow me." The bunny girl said and led the way, leaving the bunny tail behind for Ling Cang and Liang Xiangyu to see. Her plump butt made a groove in her tights, which trembled with her steps.
Going upstairs to a private room that looked ordinary, the bunny girl asked again: "Do you want to enjoy membership service or ordinary service?"
Liang Xiangyu replied without hesitation: "Member service."
There was a closet in the private room. The bunny girl immediately opened the door and knocked on the back panel three times. Then, the back panel opened, revealing a narrow corridor. Another bunny girl stood with a walkie-talkie.
inside.
This bunny girl is much more exposed than the previous ones. The lower body of the tights is just a piece of cloth, exposing her entire thighs and most of her buttocks. The upper part can barely cover the bright red on her breasts, allowing her arms and neck to be seen at a glance.
