After waiting for a while, a woman's voice came from inside:
"Come in!"
Push the door open and go in.
As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't help but be startled.
Aunt Qing is standing by the desk, holding a water glass in her hand.
She seemed much thinner than before.
Under a pair of beautiful big eyes, there are also a pair of bags under the eyes.
The circles under his eyes were even darker, and he looked like he hadn't had a good rest.
What surprised me the most was that Aunt Qing was actually wearing a light blue silk pajamas.
The hem of her pajamas is very short, and she has a pair of straight white legs.
Under the light, there is an alluring light.
And on her feet, there was also a pair of house slippers.
The way she dressed in the office was beyond my expectations.
When she saw it was me, Aunt Qing was obviously taken aback.
Then, she smiled awkwardly and said hurriedly:
"Mr. Chu, when did you come back?"
"I just arrived. I passed by here and wanted to come up and take a look. Didn't I disturb you?"
As soon as I said this, Aunt Qing shook her head in embarrassment.
Pointing to the sofa next to him, he said:
"Sit down quickly!"
I sat on the sofa and Aunt Qing poured me a glass of water.
Putting it in front of me, she asked again:
"Mr. Chu, aren't you in Fengtian? Are you ready to go back to Habei?"
I didn't expect that Aunt Qing was very well informed.
He actually knew that I was in Fengtian.
I answered a few sentences casually and then got to the point:
"Aunt Qing, I'm coming back this time. I may need to trouble you with something..."
"you say!"
"It's like this. I don't know if the Qixianlou venue will still be open? If not, I want to buy all the gaming tables and gambling equipment. In addition, the dealers who were trained before and the management of the venue
If you can get in touch with them, help me contact them. I’ll offer a high price and want to invite them to Fengtian..."
As soon as I finished speaking, Aunt Qing looked embarrassed again.
She looked at me and said hesitantly:
"Ordinarily, this Elephant Building was given to you by the old man. You can dispose of these things at will. But now, it seems unlikely..."
"What's wrong?"
I asked casually.
Aunt Qing was silent for a long time and didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the room seemed a bit awkward.
I was just thinking about how to alleviate this embarrassment.
Suddenly, I heard a man's voice coming from the suite inside:
"Nothing, it's just that our Qi family has taken over this place!"
This sudden sound startled me.
I never expected that there were people in the room inside.
And then, a familiar face walked out from inside.
The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but frown.
Qi Kangjian!
Qi Lan’s father!
He was also wearing black silk pajamas and slippers.
At this moment, I understood everything.
The turbulent world always brings various surprises to people.
I still remember when Mr. Zou passed away.
Aunt Qing was in the teahouse, telling me about her past with Mr. Zou in an affectionate and poignant manner.
At that moment, I even felt...
There really is that kind of love in this world that lasts until death.
But within a year, Aunt Qing fell into the arms of someone else.
As the "Good Song" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" says:
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only my beloved wife can't forget them!
I express my kindness to you on your birthday, but you will go with others when you die."
But I don’t think Aunt Qing did anything wrong.
A weak woman who doesn't understand anything.
After the fall of the Zou family, she still wanted to survive in this world.
Besides switching to someone else, what else can she do?
Qi Kangjian sat on the office chair.
He leaned back and stared at me with a gloomy expression.
I've met him many times before.
At that time, he was under strong pressure from the Zou family.
His face was like a flat lake, and he held back his words.
But now, he is the same as his son Qi Chengqiao.
Pretending to be in control of Habei and showing arrogance
In the office, no one spoke.
Suddenly, Qi Kangjian stretched out his hand towards Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing lowered her head and walked to Qi Kangjian's side.
Qi Kangjian didn't say anything and patted his shoulder lightly.
Aunt Qing stood behind him and began to squeeze his shoulders.
"The sixth day of the lunar month!"
Qi Kangjian finally spoke.
"You want the gambling equipment and the croupier in the Elephant Tower, right?"
I looked up at him and nodded silently.
"I can give you all these things..."
What Qi Kangjian said was a bit beyond my expectation.
But he changed the topic and said:
"However, I have two conditions!"
"you say!"
"First, call Qi Lan now. Tell her that you two will never contact her again from now on!"
I lit a cigarette and took a puff silently.
"What about the second one?"
"The second one is even simpler. When you are in Haojiang, ask Qi Chengqiao to kneel down and walk for three miles. Is this possible?"
I nodded.
I'm not surprised at all that Qi Kangjian knows about this.
"As an elder, I will not bully you. In the same way, I will kneel down and walk three miles to apologize to Qi Chengqiao. This matter is settled. My conditions are not excessive, right?"
I sneered.
Qi Chengqiao lost to me at first.
And now, Qi Kangjian wants to regain his face in this way.
Is it possible?
"What if I don't agree?"
Qi Chengqiao looked gloomy and said slowly:
"Young man, don't think that just because you have won a few games at the poker table, you will feel that you are the best in the world. I can tell you clearly, if you don't agree, don't say these things. Even you, don't even think about leaving Habei!"
I took a long puff of cigarette.
Then, he put out the cigarette butt firmly in the ashtray.
He stood up and walked to his desk.
Looking at Aunt Qing who was squeezing Qi Kangjian's shoulders, I asked:
"Aunt Qing, the things in Qixianglou were given to me by Mr. Zou, right?"
Aunt Qing hesitated for a moment, but nodded and whispered:
"yes!"
Then, I looked at Qi Kangjian and said slowly:
"Mr. Qi, please listen carefully. I am not very capable in the sixth grade of junior high school, but I have my principles. My principles are also very simple. No one can take away what is mine. Including your daughter, Qi Lan!
"
As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and left.
Originally I didn't plan to get these gambling equipment again.
These things are not worth much.
It's just that the customization time is too long, which affects the opening of the Seven of Diamonds venue.
But now, Qi Kangjian and his son treat me like this.
Then I don't need to be polite to them anymore.
What I didn't expect was that Aunt Qing actually followed me out to see me off.
When she reached the door, she gently pushed it open.
Looking at me, she asked me awkwardly:
"Chu Liu, do you particularly look down on me?"
I shook my head.
"How could it be? Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and so do you. Stay here, I'm leaving. Take care!"
With that said, I went downstairs without looking back.
