He was in a bad mood, his eyes were still bright, he raised his chin, and his tone was a little unhappy. Even though he and Jiaming were usually close, there was always some embarrassment in life, and some self-blame that he didn't want to let his relatives know.
Seeing that she was angry, Jia Ming smiled and held the flowers in front of him: "I admire you."
Looking at Jiaming, Shasha's eyes flickered for a while, and after a moment he turned his head to the side: "I'm not in the mood today..."
"Take it. If you don't accept it, they will probably drag me out and beat me..."
This was still at the entrance of the Mahjong Pavilion. Brother Kuan had welcomed Shasha in so grandly before. As soon as he came out, he was harassed by a young man. Several boys looked at Shasha's face and immediately surrounded him with some unkindness. Shasha replied.
He turned his head and waved lightly: "It's okay, he is my friend. Thank you. You can go about your business." The people then backed away, and one of them glared at Jiaming fiercely.
"I found that you treat them better than me..." Jia Ming walked through the crowd and said as he walked behind Shasha. Shasha snorted and said nothing.
"Lingjing said that you have been mysterious and mysterious these days. You didn't know what others said today and you were acting silly. You were also sneaky and clueless after school. I saw you coming here, so I sneaked around.
Come here..." He babbled after him. Shasha turned his head sharply and laughed out of anger: "You are so stupid and sneaky, a primary school student is making up a sentence!"
"I review it occasionally, but I found this can be used as a couplet. Look, you are stupid and sneaky, and I am mysterious and sneaky..."
"you……"
"Ah, help me get the flowers, I'll go buy something..."
Handing over the flowers without any explanation, Shasha subconsciously caught them and saw Jiaming turn around and leave. Only then did she react: "Hey, I threw them away... I threw them away..." She raised the bouquet of flowers and turned around to throw it into the street.
In the sewage beside him, his eyes were still staring at Jiaming. Seeing that he didn't look back at all, he shook it for a few times and finally couldn't bear to throw it away. His lips tightened with anger.
"Wow, the new game chess, this one should be very good, take it back and play..."
I bought something. Jia Ming shook the paper box in his hand, and rustling ignored him and handed the flowers back with a straight face. Jia Ming pretended not to see it with a pure and innocent expression, and his flat eyes seemed to say, "Throw it away."
Throwing and throwing... Shasha didn't mean to be angry with him, but the annoyance in her heart was unavoidable. She turned around and continued walking forward. But she still held the flower in her hand, swinging it around casually as if carrying something.
Come to think of it, Jiaming and the two girls are very familiar with each other. They have played together since they were young. Although they often find many novel games to play, things like sending flowers are not cost-effective.
I rarely do it, because once I do it deliberately, it makes each other feel pretentious. Of course, no matter what, girls will still feel happy after receiving flowers at this time.
However, even if the joy of receiving the flowers can slightly dilute the depressed feeling in my heart, it still can't resist Jiaming being noisy and ignorant of the current affairs, going to buy something next to him from time to time, and then buzzing like a mosquito.
When I came up, I was telling myself that Jia Ming was deliberately being weird because he saw me unhappy, but he went too far. I'm afraid even God couldn't bear it sometimes.
"Wow, the combs on that stall are very beautiful. Shasha, do you want to buy one? But I don't comb my hair. Please give it a try..."
"The color of that skirt is nice, I like it very much..."
"No way. Look, Shasha, we haven't eaten that thing before. Why don't we try it?"
"It's a pity that there are no sugar-roasted chestnuts, otherwise you can buy them back. What a pity...There are no sugar-roasted chestnuts, there are no sugar-roasted chestnuts, there are no sugar-roasted chestnuts, there are no sugar-roasted chestnuts..."
"You said we should take the bus when we go back to farm. If we need to change trains, I think we should take a taxi. But I don't have any money with me. Shasha, have you brought it? Shasha, Shasha, silly, silly, silly..."
"Well, how about marshmallows..."
"Wow, this is a retractable magic knife. Look, Shasha, it looks just like the real thing, but it can't kill anyone. It's almost the same as the water gun I made..."
Seeing Jia Ming waving the knife from behind, Shasha finally felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly stopped and turned around: "I said you are still finished...well..."
"I stabbed—"
As soon as Shasha's words came out, Jia Ming took the machete and stabbed her in the butt. At this moment, Shasha turned around and stabbed the sensitive spot with the knife. Although the strength was not strong, a slight pain was felt, and Shasha retreated subconsciously.
She took a step forward, and immediately blood rushed to her forehead. This was on the street, and although she might not have seen many people, it was enough to accumulate an explosive energy for her.
"I...let you poke me! Let you poke me, let you poke me, let you poke me..."
Waving the bouquet in his hand, Shasha jumped up suddenly and patted him on the head. The petals flew all over the place, and all the eyes of the passersby were attracted to this side. There was a man playing cards at the concession stand next to him.
The old man also stopped moving and turned to watch, watching the energetic girl hitting people like crazy. The young man in front of her held his head with his hands and symbolically resisted for a few times.
After finishing the bouquet, he swung his clenched fists like windmills, saying hello to the lifeless boy, and kicked him from time to time. From time to time, voices of discussion came from the crowd.
"You see, this is the consequences of offending a beautiful woman..."
"It's...pleasant to watch. If it were my girlfriend, I would rather be ravaged by her like this every day..."
"That boy is so happy..."
"How can you be a man if you don't fight back after being beaten like this..."
"If he dares to fight back, I will go up and kill him..."
"Children these days..."
Generally speaking, few people sympathized with Jia Ming's experience, but there were quite a few who were envious of him. He was beaten like this for about half a minute, and Jia Ming's body was covered with petals. She glared at him, then turned around and left.
The two of them had reached the edge of the road at this time. When they turned around, they heard a sharp "squeak" sound of brakes suddenly sounded...
Jiaming reached out and hugged Shasha back. A car sped past her.
Shocked, Shashawo stared in Jiaming's arms, unable to say anything for a moment. The car stopped not far away, and the driver was rolling down the window. Before he could fully open it, he heard curse words.
: "Fuck you..."
The big head was only halfway extended, and suddenly he saw the boy who had been beaten here angrily picked up a brick from the ground and threw it over. He quickly retracted it, and the brick passed by his ear, snap.
There was a sound. The right rearview mirror of the car was smashed to pieces.
"I'll fuck you..." The driver also had a fierce temper. Seeing the harmless face of the young man here, he opened the door and was about to come out, then took one foot out. Only then did he realize that the other person had already
He walked over here, holding a bright machete in his hand, and the expression on his face had become ferocious.
"You ***... you are driving so fast and almost hit someone, but you still dare to be so arrogant, I will kill you today - get off here!"
He was good at changing his face, and just now he was still being beaten and scolded, but now his face changed, and he suddenly turned into a lawless gangster, with a murderous look on his face. Everyone seemed to have clearly seen the scene of committing murder on the street in full view of everyone.
Shasha opened her mouth wide and looked at the ferocious figure as he walked past. Before they reached the halfway point, the driver had already closed the door and drove away. She could vaguely hear him sighing: "Children these days are becoming more and more lawless...
"
"Don't let me see you next time, or I'll kill your whole family! I'll smash your broken car every time I see it - damn it. It's not easy to die..."
Holding the machete, Jia Ming shouted from the side of the road. When the car disappeared at the end of the street, he turned around, took the machete and stabbed himself in the chest. He smiled proudly at Sha Sha.
In the sound, the magic knife kept expanding and contracting. Shasha rushed over and kicked him angrily: "You know how to scare people with fake things..."
"Well, I'm afraid it will be more scary if I take the real thing..."
After this farce, Shasha forgot to hit him. She smiled, then fell silent. She shrugged and walked around him: "You don't even know what happened..."
"Is there anything I don't know about Huang Haobing's drug use?"
"Uh, you..."
Jiaming walked over and took her hand: "When you interceded for him that time, Lao Yang regarded Huang Haobing as your friend. In the end, he didn't want his money for taking drugs, and asked a group of younger brothers to take care of him if they had something to do.
Later, he had a quarrel with someone at school, and Brother Kuan asked someone to beat someone up. These things... I knew about it early on." Jia Ming smiled, "Brother Meng told me.
, He even said that he could say hello to Lao Yang so that Huang Haobing would never get drugs again, but I told him it was not necessary."
Shasha looked at him, pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to pat the petals on his body, Jiaming smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't buy roses... Well, if I could have foreseen this kind of thing before, I would have
I asked Brother Meng to help cut off Huang Haobing's source of drugs, but in general, this is not your fault, it is his own choice. He chose to commit suicide, chose to take drugs, and chose to ask you to call, and you called
Well, you shouldn't have to pay for the subsequent results. He must take full responsibility for his own choices. Besides, you still had a good heart in the first place, and that's enough."
"But good intentions lead to bad things..."
"He did it himself. In fact, he was already addicted to drugs when he asked you to call. At that time, his will was not firm when things like that happened. Imagine if you really rejected him, or simply asked others to cut him off.
The source of his drugs, the first thing he hates is you... Well, if you want to help him, you have to help him get rid of his drug addiction. You can't convince him, you can't report to others, you can't force him
Send him to a drug rehabilitation center. No matter what you do, he will still hate you. Drug addicts are scary. He may steal or rob or take risks. Drug dealers are not good people. If they stalk you, even if you talk to them.
, it is certain that he will be beaten and scolded. Shasha, if you want to take care of it, everything will come back to you in the end. If he is involved with you too much, but still dies in the end, you will blame yourself even more... And I
Will be jealous..."
Shasha laughed, then lowered her head: "But... there is always a way, right?"
"There won't be an easy way, it will still be trouble in the end. I only know that he chose his own path, Shasha. If he comes to ask me, I will help him to the best of my ability, but I can't help him.
Say, you should do this, you shouldn't do that, the decision can only be made by him, as long as he likes it. Being decadent, taking drugs, or dying is no big deal, but if you interfere with him, he will hate you.
..." Jiaming paused, "Ha. Actually, I didn't want to say this originally. If Lingjing came, I would definitely tell you correctly and the world would be beautiful, but I would say that there is no way around it.
Quan Qimei, Shasha, I am the bad guy. When I saw him taking drugs and being decadent, what I thought in my heart was: If you are so unhappy, then go die. It’s not a big deal..."
"You have always been principled..."
"Actually, my previous ideal in life was freedom..."
"Well?"
"Well, it's that kind of unbridled freedom, regardless of laws or rules, you can do whatever you want. But gradually I realized that such an idea is ridiculous. For example, if I follow my ideals, I should make you happy all the time.
Then Huang Haobing lives like a passerby, and after solving all the problems, I won't get into trouble. In fact, such a situation does not exist..." Amidst the neon lights on the street, Shasha held his hand.
Pricking the body with the magic knife, "It's like two boys fighting over a girl. According to the rules of the game, the one who wins should have an advantage, but sometimes, girls just like the one who loses.
Winning doesn't mean you're powerful..."
"I talked a lot, just like the old man..." Shasha wrinkled her nose, "Actually, you think I'm stupid for worrying about such a thing, right?"
"Kindness is a good thing." Jiaming smiled.
"But you don't agree with it at all."
"But I like it." Jiaming said, "Actually, I think, compared to you not taking his death seriously at all, I prefer the way you are worried about his death. I just want to say... uh
…”
He stopped for a long time, looking at the sky without letting go, frowning and saying: "What are you talking about..."
"It's better not to say it anymore. I feel a little nauseous. It's okay if you know..." Jia Ming waved his hand and hit him with a rustling smile: "What on earth, say it quickly, say it, say it..."
Shasha danced around Jiaming for a long time. After all the threats such as pinching the arms, kicking the butt, and pinching the neck were used, Jiaming shook his head helplessly: "Okay, actually I want to say... you are happy and sad.
I'm always by your side and know your thoughts. That's enough. How about it? It's very disgusting. "It's almost the same as the line in yesterday's soap opera. What's more, with the following sentence, there is no way to make it work.
There is room for people to be moved..."
"I just think it fits my current thinking, so I'm going to talk about it."
"Hey..." Shasha made a look of sneer, but there was a smile in her eyes. She still couldn't let go of Huang Haobing's death in her heart, but at this moment, this unrelieved feeling was magically separated from the happy mood.
She came forward, flicked her ponytail, and took a deep breath: "Actually, do you remember the first time we met?"
"Oh, you were taking a shower in your room, and I went in and saw your naked body, so you cried and shouted that you wanted to marry me?"
"How can there be such a thing!" Shasha kicked him, "The first time we met, it was Huang Haobing bullying you and Lingjing, so I beat them. There must have been many times later. If it weren't for this bad fate, where would I be?
Will he be reduced to the point where he shares a man with his good sister... Huang Haobing liked to bully others when he was a child, but gradually he grew up and his temper got better. I always felt that it was because of him that we met, and he is dead like this now
Now...I'm a little sad..."
Jiaming patted her on the shoulder, and Shasha's tone when she said she was sad was a little harsh. It seemed that she was not used to using this word to herself.
"Jia Ming, tell me... why does my dad have to sell drugs..."
"What every gangster has to do."
"The Shazhu Gang is now the largest gang in Jianghai, isn't it? It's more powerful than all other gangs combined?"
"Um."
"What would happen if my dad wanted to clear his name and not allow others to sell drugs?"
Jiaming lowered his head and smiled: "If he doesn't allow others to sell drugs, many people will die..."
"Uh..." Shasha gave him a puzzled look.
"There will be many people who want to kill him, and then... there will be many people in the gang who will oppose him, and the Shazhu Gang will split, and his life will be in danger. Then I will make demands on Cui Guohua and those people. For these people, gather a group,
Catch a group and kill a group. Drug traffickers from other places will want to infiltrate. They will also catch, catch and kill. After a few years, the Shazhu Gang finally faded away and they were doing serious business. Their lives began to stabilize, or they could also form
The company is listed on the market. But no one will want to fight and kill. Then the drugs will gradually revive in Jianghai, and a new Shazhu Gang will begin to rise...or several, and then...it will become the same several gangs as before.
A situation where gangs are in conflict and fighting..."
"It's so dangerous..."
"Well, in fact, people outside are not afraid. People who know the government can be confident enough to say that there is no underworld in China, because if the government cracks down, no one will survive. But what you are most afraid of is that there are people behind your back.
..." He took the magic knife and stabbed Shasha in the butt, "...stab the knife."
Glancing at Jiaming's right hand holding the knife, she pursed her lips and thought about something, then glanced again after a moment. She continued to think, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and walked back.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"I'll buy one too. Buy a real one and chop you to death..."
"No need..."
Not long after, two figures started to chase each other in the neon city night. They passed through the endless flow of people and gradually disappeared into the distance of the night...
Because Huang Haobing's incident affected Shasha's mood to some extent, the three of them did not prepare any travel plans during the summer vacation. They still spent the summer at the beach villa, and Xun went back to Japan. Yahan occasionally came to stay for a day or two, and she and Jia Mingzhi
There was an affair occasionally, and she was afraid that Lingjing and Shasha would find out about their affair after living together for a long time. Anyway, the two of them did not have frequent sexual requests. They met once in a while. Yahan was in a cheerful mood and started to get involved in some of the Zhang family's businesses.
I also enjoyed doing it, and the relationship with my father has also eased a lot.
In mid-August, it was Liu Zheng’s forty-fifth birthday.
The Shazhu Gang has grown in size in recent years. If there was a big banquet, hundreds of tables would not be enough for people from all walks of life. Anyway, it was Sansheng. Liu Zheng invited some people with close relationships to have a family banquet, similar to Ling Ling.
The Jing family and the gang only invited a few leading figures, Xiao Meng and Lao Yang, and the rest were mostly loose relatives or close friends, but there were more than ten tables.
The size of the meeting was such that Jia Ming was regarded as his prospective son-in-law. He called him over early in the morning to help set up the venue, and then introduced some relatives. He was busy all morning.
Of course, it was said that he was asked to help, but in fact he was just following behind. Liu Zheng didn't have many rules for his relatives. He was familiar with Jiaming and had already had a sense of friendship for a long time. Occasionally, he smiled and told him some underworld stories.
Just kidding, Shasha and her father have a harmonious relationship, but they don’t spend much time together. Jiaming can’t leave Liu Zheng, so she runs away to play with Lingjing.
When people came in and the whole big room was almost full, he ran over: "Jia Ming, how can you talk to everyone... I mean the parents of girls, Father Ye and Mother Ye
So is my dad..."
She sounded jealous when she said this, but thinking about marrying Jiaming in the future, she was actually happy. Jiaming chatted a few words casually, and heard Liu Zheng talking at the same time: "Wow, you wrote the word wrong,
I write in cursive script, so I’ll reward your mother with cakes, and you’re still a college student. You can’t read as well as I can, so how did Old Yang arrange for you to register the guests..."
He spoke rudely, but in fact he didn't mean to blame him. It was probably more because he was proud of his messy handwriting that others didn't recognize but he recognized it - most semi-literate people have such vanity. Shasha frowned: "He
Why do you keep talking about giving your mother cakes? I didn’t use this kind of catchphrase before. Is there a new curse word that’s popular outside?”
Jiaming shrugged: "I don't know. I've been hearing this mantra from him lately. I've been saying it all morning today. I'll ask him directly later..."
The two were chatting, and not long after Liu Zheng came over, Jia Ming asked tactfully. Seeing his daughter here, Liu Zheng seemed a little uncomfortable: "Ahem... I can't help it, I'm swearing. I'm learning English recently...
"
Jiaming and Shasha looked at each other in confusion: "Is there such a sentence in English?" Jiaming is proficient in several languages, and can imitate the accents of several places in English. They can't think of a sentence in English that is "I'll give your mother some cake."
.
"Well, that's it...it's often in movies, because someone told me that the best way to learn English is to watch some foreign language movies, so I recently bought a few foreign language DVDs.
He used to collect a large number of foreign language pornographic films, and Shasha secretly took them out to enjoy with Lingjing. Later, the Lily incident finally happened. At this time, they heard about foreign language films. The two of them immediately thought of that, and Shasha blushed: "I'll ask Lingjing
Let’s see if you know.” He turned around and wanted to run away, but Jia Ming finally came to his senses: “F*ck bitch!” Shasha turned around and said, “Who are you scolding?” Liu Zheng smiled sheepishly: “That’s what I mean...”
Shasha looked at the delinquent boy and the delinquent middle-aged man with disdain and finally walked away. She was probably going to show off to Lingjing the new way of swearing she had learned. Liu Zheng was bored for a while, and seemed to be hesitant to say something.
After a moment, he pulled Jiaming aside and said mysteriously: "Jiaming, how does Uncle Liu usually treat you?"
Jiaming smiled and took a step back: "What are you going to do?" "Damn it, you kid, you have given me your daughter and you still have this kind of attitude towards me..."
"This is what the bad guys on TV say when they try to trick people..."
"You, Uncle Liu, do I look like a bad person?" He asked this question confidently, and then he felt that it was a bit ridiculous, "Well, I have always been nice to you, uh... I wanted to... I
Just think..."
He hesitated to speak again, and prepared himself mentally for a while. Finally he took a breath and said seriously: "Okay, actually I want you to help me explore Sha Sha's tone."
"What tone?"
"Just... maybe ask her..." Liu Zheng spread his hands, "What would her attitude be like if I married a stepmother... You also know. After Shasha's mother passed away, it was not easy for me to take care of her. At that time, Shazhu
She is still struggling, fighting with people every day, and it is difficult for me to take care of her alone. She is often placed elsewhere. She has also been used to living alone since she was a child. Fortunately, she didn't get too estranged from me later. Actually, this has to do with you.
, Lingjing girl is also related, otherwise I guess she would have hated me a long time ago... At that time, I didn't dare to have too many people around me, but now that I am stable, I can also think about other things. Although Shasha and I have a fairly good relationship
Okay, but we spend too little time together, and I don’t know what she is thinking. You know her best. If she really hates her stepmother, I can ignore these things. I only have her as my daughter..."
Liu Zheng's feelings for his daughter are definitely the deepest. In a sense, although he is now a famous gangster, his concept of family is still conservative. If compared to other bosses, he has a second wife, a third wife, and a third wife.
How can I ask for my daughter’s opinion on the matter of resuming my marriage?
The muscles on Jiaming's face twitched: "Are you kidding? Do you even need to ask about this kind of thing? Shasha..." He showed a look of regret, "She must be supportive. She wishes someone would take care of you, but... if...
If she wants her to be willing to call her "Mom", she must have a good personality."
"Then you can help me reveal this matter to Shasha." Liu Zheng followed. "Honestly, negotiating with people is enough. I'm not very good at talking about this kind of thing with my daughter."
"It would be nice to exercise more..."
"Bah, bah, bah... Tongyanwuji..."
"That, who is it?"
Liu Zheng smiled: "I met the nurse from the hospital where Lingjing's mother was injured last time..."
"Nurse?" Jiaming thought of the beautiful women in the hospital, "Old cows eat young grass! Which one is it?"
Liu Zheng turned sideways with some pride: "Oh, I'm a bit young. My surname is Hu Di, the head nurse. I'm thirty years old. I graduated from college. I may have been spoiled for choice a few years ago. I'm not married yet. To be honest,
If you, Uncle Liu, and I need it, women are always available - well, there is no need to tell you this - but this one is indeed more suitable for my temper. I want to give her a title. By the way, she taught me English...
"
"Teach you how to reward your mother with cake..."
"Ahem, this is purely self-study, purely self-study, study on your own..."
Love indeed makes people stupid... Jia Ming thought of the head nurse Hu in the hospital. She was pretty and elegant. She was usually cold and meticulous in her work, but she was still kind to people she knew. She shouldn't be someone who was just for fun.
The money may have attracted him because of the title of Underworld Big Brother. Jia Ming glanced at Liu Zheng, but he was a little confused about how he could pursue a beautiful woman with ideals and ambitions. It took two or three months to negotiate.
The marriage was already being discussed. Catching a glimpse of Jiaming's gaze, Liu Zheng glared and showed off: "What are you looking at? Uncle Liu and I are also very attractive!"
In fact, this sentence is correct. Jia Ming nodded: "Actually, Nurse Hu is really good." Liu Zheng patted his shoulder with relief. When he saw the group of people entering the door at this time, his expression was...
He became gloomy: "Someone is here to cause trouble, I'll go over first... uh, you can wait until you get back to talk to Shasha..."
