In the car, Chu He stared out of the window in a daze. His black and white eyes were cloudy and lackluster.
Empress Dowager Xiao sat quietly in the back seat and said nothing.
When getting in the car, Chu He did not sit in the back seat with the Empress Dowager Xiao before coming. Instead, he chose the passenger seat. It seemed that he deliberately avoided the Empress Dowager Xiao - or perhaps, he did not want the robot aunt to see his downtrodden side.
No matter what, the drivers driving along this road were extremely depressed.
Empress Dowager Xiao's aura was enough to make him panting. In addition, the young master burst out of the air, which made the driver tense up while driving. He did not dare to be careless for a moment.
When they arrived at the hotel, Queen Mother Xiao called to Chu He who was about to go back to his room.
"What's your order from aunt?" Chu He asked politely, forcing a smile on his face.
He pretended too much, let alone the discerning Empress Dowager Xiao. Even ordinary people could detect his abnormality.
"You don't need to go to the Chamber of Commerce." Queen Mother Xiao said calmly.
"Why?" Chu He asked unexpectedly. "Didn't you say you wanted me to see it before?"
Empress Dowager Xiao pursed her lips and did not answer Chu He's question.
Chu He thought for a moment, then shook his head and asked, "Are you afraid that I will be embarrassed?"
Empress Dowager Xiao remained silent.
"Now that we've met each other, I shouldn't be too nervous," Chu He said. "I'm fine."
Queen Mother Xiao glanced at him deeply and said, "Someone is looking to settle a score with you."
"You want to settle accounts with me?" Chu He said slightly surprised. "I have been living in Rainbow Town for the past few years. Let alone return to China, I don't even see many Chinese people. Who would want to settle accounts with me?"
"Don't go." Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and seemed unwilling to explain more.
"I want to go." Chu He said stubbornly. "I'm barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes."
Refusing to inherit the Xiao family's inheritance was the first time Chu He refused to listen to his robot aunt.
This is the second time now. Chuhe seems to be becoming more and more deviant.
Queen Mother Xiao glanced at him lightly and went straight into the room.
Chu He shrugged and swiped his card to enter the room. But as soon as he opened the door, his heart trembled. He quickly pulled out the bone sword from his waist.
Buzz!
A flash of white light suddenly illuminated the dark room.
This place is guarded by senior security guards of Xiaoshan Villa. Even hotel employees are not qualified to break in, let alone others?
Chu He raised his brows and his pupils suddenly shrank, knowing that the person entering the room was definitely a super expert——
"hey-hey--"
Snap.
A lewd laughter came, and when Chu He suddenly heard the sound, he raised the corners of his lips and put back the bone sword.
"Not bad. Sharper than I thought." The man's rather wanton voice came from the bed.
Chu He opened the small refrigerator and took out two bottles of beer, threw one to the charming man sleeping on the bed, and said angrily: "If you don't kill everyone in the casino during the day, why do you come here to have fun?"
Chu Lin got up to speed, drank half a bottle of beer, and sighed: "I won't play anymore."
"No more playing?" Chu He almost choked on a mouthful of beer. He said unexpectedly, "What? You've lost again?"
"Yeah." Chu Lin nodded and lit a cigarette.
"I still have tens of millions here. Let's play with it first?" Chu He said with a smile. "I finally saved up."
A smile appeared on Chu Lin's depressed and bruised face, and he looked Chu He up and down: "You kid, don't you feel bad at all?"
"Why do you feel bad?" Chu He asked back.
"I feel bad." Chu Lin calmed down and took a puff of smoke. "So I quit."
"True ring?" Chu He said with a faint smile but not a smile. "According to your current physical condition, you can live for at least a few decades. How will you live in the future if you don't gamble?"
"Go to hell!" Chu Lin scolded. "Other than gambling, can't I develop some other interests?"
"What about?" Chu He asked back.
Chu Lin was anxious: "Get lost. Why should I tell you?"
Chu He smiled.
If he says he won’t gamble, then he will definitely not gamble again.
Snap.
Chu He lit a cigarette and asked after some hesitation: "Going far?"
This old guy definitely didn't come to him specifically to tell him to stop gambling or to have fun with his family. He is not such a boring person. Even though he has been a boring gambler for more than 20 years.
"Nothing to talk about." Chu Lin sat cross-legged on the bed and flicked the ashes of his cigarette skillfully. "Do something meaningful."
A sincere smile broke out on Chu He's face: "Support."
"Nonsense. Is objection useful?" Chu Lin sneered. "I have always been a stubborn and principled man."
Chu He twitched the corner of his mouth: "Pay back the money."
"What more money?" Chu Lin asked.
"You owe me." Chu He stretched out his palm in anger.
"Give it back to you, uncle!"
Snap.
Chu Lin reached out and hit Chu He's palm: "You want me to pay you back, are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Chu He pouted: "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning if you use your son's hard-earned money to gamble?"
"Haha. You little bastard." Chu Lin laughed happily.
Fortunately, he still has a son. A son who we don’t see every day, every month, or every year, but who is still close to each other.
Seeing the old man's strange smile, Chu He couldn't help but pull the chair closer and asked in a low voice: "Old man, you must not be stimulated anymore, do you want to do that stupid thing?"
"Am I like that kind of man with a fragile heart?" Chu Lin pointed to his nose.
Chu He looked at it carefully for a few times: "Like."
Chu Lin rolled his eyes: "Don't think too much."
Chu He nodded with a smile and smoked a cigarette in silence.
"Have you seen her?" Chu Lin looked sideways at Chu He.
"Yeah." Chu He nodded.
"How was the discussion?" Chu Lin asked.
"No talk." Chu He smiled bitterly.
"That's her loss." Chu Lin said proudly. "My son is the best in the world."
"Go away. You are really not ashamed." Chu He laughed and cursed.
"Hehe -" Chu Lin suddenly stood up and suddenly took Chu He into his arms. He whispered in his ear, "Son, I'm useless."
"It's none of your business." Chu He bowed his knees slightly to accommodate his height of barely 1.8 meters.
"If I hadn't wasted my time in these twenty-six years, who in China would dare to look down on you?" Chu Lin said solemnly. "What belongs to others is others' after all. It has nothing to do with you or me."
Somehow, this old guy's philistine and heart-breaking words suddenly hit Chu He, and his eyes became wet: "You are very good."
"It can be better." Chu Lin patted his shoulder heavily.
Chu He pretended to be calm and said: "Old man, you are going to fall out of favor again."
"Hahaha--"
Chu Lin threw him on the bed and strode towards the door: "Son, see you later!"
…
The China Chamber of Commerce Dinner is held every year. But this year’s dinner is bound to cause a sensation across the country.
As always, the organizer has the participation of Minister Qiao, who has an increasingly high position in the political arena. Of course, the focus of the Chamber of Commerce is not on the organizers, but on the participants.
Although the guest list in previous years was composed of giant businessmen from all over the country, it has never been as complete and star-studded as this year.
Empress Dowager Xiao of Baicheng alone is enough to attract the attention of countless media and become one of the hot spots of the dinner. No, it is only three o'clock in the afternoon. Hundreds of media are already squatting in front of the Pearl Hotel, where the venue is held. Just to find the right seats, they will be the guests.
The rarely seen Empress Dowager Xiao was photographed in her graceful appearance.
In addition to the grand appearance of the Queen Mother of Baicheng, the equally famous Queen Zhuge of Yanjing has also confirmed to attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner. It is said that the organizer, Minister Qiao, began to invite the former Princess of Yanjing as early as three years ago
, today’s Queen of Yanjing. At that time, Minister Qiao was only a department-level official. Three years later, he is already a deputy ministerial-level boss with great power. Even in Yanjing, a city with many high-ranking officials, he is still a real person.
Number one figure. This shows how difficult it is to recruit Queen Zhuge.
There is no shortage of rich people in China, but there is a lack of highly topical super-rich people like Empress Dowager Xiao of Baicheng and Queen of Yanjing. Who in the media is interested in reporting on those bald and pot-bellied rich people in their forties and fifties? Beautiful women, especially the best beauties, are full of
Topic, not to mention a super rich woman-level beauty?
In addition to the two queens from the north and south who have never appeared at the Chamber of Commerce dinner, it is rumored that some very popular young rich people will also attend. However, the organizer only revealed these two richest queens in China and did not disclose more
The list was exposed. But just the revelations about these two rich women caused several times more media to come this year than last year.
Six o'clock in the evening.
A handsome man in a black suit attracted the spotlight of the media. From the car door to the hotel door, the short distance of only thirty steps felt like walking on a red carpet, sacrificing a lot of film.
"Wow! Young Master Huangfu is here!"
Several female reporters screamed and ordered the cameraman to take pictures.
"Master Huangfu, why did you join the Chamber of Commerce this year?"
"Mr. Huangfu, I heard that you had a disagreement with your mother recently. Is this a rumor or is it true?"
"Young Master Huangfu——"
This handsome young man in a pure black suit calmly faced his friends from the media and said with a smile: "The Pearl Hotel is one of the properties of the Huangfu family in Yanjing. Is there no problem if I come to participate in the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Then what is your purpose for this trip? It is said that you left Yanjing for Huangpu five years ago, and you said that you would never return to Yanjing unless you had no choice."
"What brings you back to Yanjing?"
"Is it a person?" a media insider boldly asked.
one person?
Everyone immediately thought of Queen Zhuge who would also be attending tonight.
Rumor has it that Young Master Huangfu pursued Queen Zhuge relentlessly, and even said that he would not marry anyone other than Zhuge Hongyu. As for why he gave up later, it is unknown. Now, Grandpa, the number one young man in Huangpu, is even more so.
Back then, a talented man from a wealthy family who was directly related to the leader of the First Heavenly Regiment raided the Chamber of Commerce. Is there any unknown secret?
Young Master Huangfu made a little joke at the media reporter who boldly asked the question: "You are so smart. Does your family know?"
As soon as this statement came out, the media became even more crazy.
For one person?
That is of course Zhuge Hongyu!
"Master Huangfu, there are rumors that Miss Zhuge is married. Is this news true?"
"Master Huangfu, do you know who Miss Zhuge's husband is?"
"Is the relationship between them good?"
"Master Huangfu, who do you think has more advantages compared with you or Miss Zhuge's husband?"
The media is always like this. In a moment, they can analyze a random speculation as an established fact, and then dig into various character relationships and new and hot news. Regardless of whether it is true or not, who cares? As long as it makes the headlines!
With a smile on his face, Young Master Huangfu glanced at the media who were constantly asking him questions, and said with high spirits: "They have divorced. So I'm back!"
