Chapter 164: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 164
Lu Pingsheng was a little disappointed. If he hadn't known what Uncle Zeng Bao was planning in the past, how could he have known?
After this, he knew.
According to unofficial history, Zeng Baoyi lost his shares in the railway industry in this horse racing bet, which added to his reputation as the number one prodigal son in the Republic of China.
But now, Uncle Zeng Bao brought A Miao into the game, and the Zeng family’s railway transportation shares not only did not lose, but they even got the waterway for water transportation.
This man is using A Miao to change the fate of his Zeng family.
"If it happens again, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to Mr. Zeng calmly."
Lu Pingsheng bowed and turned to leave.
Uncle Zeng Bao stood with his hands behind his back, staring in a daze at the crowd that was gradually dispersing from the racecourse.
"Who allowed you to drink, you little bastard?" Lu Pingsheng said angrily.
"Brother Lu, I just wanted to taste it and know the difference between this and the wine at the banquet! It's so expensive."
"Wei Miao! You actually drank secretly at the banquet? I must tell your mother tonight!"
"Brother Lu, I was wrong! I won't do it again! But don't tell the pregnant woman, or I will suffer!"
The two people's voices gradually faded away, and the corners of Uncle Zeng Bao's mouth that were raised also faded.
"Chop off that man's hand and have someone deliver it to Commander Lu."
A "yes" came from the darkness of the box.
"Tell him a message. I am not as healthy as Mr. Lu, and I will not live long."
"Master Jiu!" The person in the darkness hesitated.
Uncle Zeng Bao was not angry, but chuckled, "You also think that it is beyond my ability for a mere businessman like me to threaten a warlord who holds military power."
"Master Jiu, it's not worth it!" The voice came from the dark corner of a row of wine cabinets behind the bar in the private room.
Uncle Zeng Bao laughed out loud, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance, "What's worth it? If I'm happy, then it's worth it. If I'm not happy, then it's not worth it."
The man in the darkness stopped talking, but heard Uncle Zeng Bao continue:
"Lu Pingsheng is right. We only have one life. Who is more noble than whom? No one will care if I die, but if Lu Shaojie dies, Marshal Lu will have no descendants..."
Lu Pingsheng's car stopped at the entrance of the alley in Guihuali. Wei Miao tugged at his clothes, "Brother Lu!"
Lu Pingsheng had calmed down a long time ago, but he rarely saw the little girl like this, so he wanted to tease her.
"You don't have to let me file a complaint, but you have to agree to my terms."
Wei Miao looked up at the dim street lights, his eyes rolling, "It has to be something that has nothing to do with money or food."
Lupin laughed angrily, "Keep your distance from that Mr. Zeng from now on."
Wei Miao thought about what happened tonight and wisely didn't ask why.
Mr. Zeng actually just brought her here, and she got involved out of greed. Although the process was thrilling, the ending was good.
Brother Lu often said: Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
She got what she asked for, but he was unhappy. Adults are really strange and complicated.
"You actually hesitated?" Lu Pingsheng raised his voice, with a threatening tone at the end.
Wei Miao felt that Lu Pingsheng was like a madman at the moment, and she couldn't provoke him, so she nodded obediently.
There was a cunning flash in her eyes. She would not contact Mr. Zeng, but if Mr. Zeng contacted her, it would not be considered a breach of promise.
Seeing her bowing her head, Lu Pingsheng thought to himself, "Let's go. We can talk about the rest in your study."
Wei Miao escaped the disaster and walked home happily carrying the soda he bought on the road.
Wei Ada was sitting at the doorstep enjoying the cool air, while Xiao Qian was at her doorstep, playing with Wei Ping and the others.
"Ah Miao!"
The street lights in the concession alleys are bright and dense, and you can see people clearly from a distance.
Wei Ada spoke loudly, and Wei Ling and the others heard it. They immediately stopped playing with Xiao Qian and ran towards Wei Miao.
"Cauldron!"
Wei Ping has short legs, but she has a loud voice.
Wei Miao did not ask why he was still fooling around outside so late, but handed the still cold soda in his hand to Wei Ran and said with a smile:
"Drink it and then go back."
Wei Ling and the others gathered their little heads together and muttered to each other, and finally said:
"Brother, it's too late. Let's just drink one bottle and put the rest in the well to cool down. We can drink it at noon tomorrow."
Wei Miao looked at Wei Ling's sensible face and pinched her with his hand, "Okay."
Wei Ling turned around and ran away, saying to Wei Miao:
"Brother, I'm a grown-up girl now, I can't just touch my cheeks."
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao's hand raised in the air and laughed out loud.
"Mr. Lu, A Miao, where is my young master?"
Xiao Qian had sweat on his forehead because of playing around, and his big eyes were a little confused because he didn't see Uncle Zeng Bao.
"Mr. Zeng is busy and I don't know when he will be back." Lu Pingsheng said politely.
Xiao Qian's expression turned worried, and he whispered:
"My young master is in poor health and never spends the night outside."
After saying that, he trotted into the house.
Wei Ada laughed and asked, "Is Grandma Cui unusually happy today?"
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng were walking towards home when they happened to see Xu Ayu coming out with a bulging belly.
"Mom, it's almost ten o'clock, why haven't you rested yet?"
Xu Ayu looked at Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng together, lowered his eyes and said:
"Mom, you sleep a lot during the day and now you can't sleep. Come and talk to us."
Wei Miao took a sip of herbal tea and briefly talked about Cui Liping's wedding.
After listening to this, Wei Ada said with emotion: "Mr. Zeng is unusual at first glance."
Xu Ayu rarely agreed with him and said, "It is true. When Mr. Zeng looks at people, he is not as popular as Mr. Lu."
Wei Miao laughed out loud, "Mom, you said Mr. Zeng is not an ordinary person."
Xu Ayu felt that it was not good to gossip about others behind their backs, so he quickly said:
"Yes, I feel like a Bodhisattva worshipped in a temple, without desires or requests, but very difficult to mess with."
Wei Ada nodded, obviously he felt the same as the mistress of the house.
Lu Pingsheng smiled and said, "It's always good to have a capable neighbor."
The couple nodded repeatedly. It was true that their family was all thanks to their capable neighbor, Lu Pingsheng.
Yes, there is also Patrolman Xiao Wu.
"Why has Patrolman Xiao Wu's wedding date been postponed again? Good things really take time." The pregnant woman in the late stage of pregnancy said whatever she thought.
Lu Pingsheng said: "I heard that Miss Li was seriously ill and was hospitalized again. She took a long time to recover."
Xu Ayu was hesitant to speak. She wanted to ask if Miss Li had a conflict with Wu Ziyang, but thinking of Wu Ziyang's protection of Li Xiaoya, she immediately shut up and endured it with great pain.
Just at this moment, the kids came in from outside laughing after stealing their soda.
Xu Ayu immediately yelled at Wei A:
"This is how you take care of your kid. If you don't go to bed this late, you will fall asleep in class tomorrow and be punished by the teacher!"
The one big and six small ones have embarrassed expressions and are very well-behaved.
Lu Pingsheng coughed lightly, and the pregnant woman realized that there was a stranger in the house and felt a little embarrassed.
"I will be going out of town for a month tomorrow, so I'd like to trouble Ah Miao to stay at my house."
"One is because of the antiques. She can help me deal with them when I'm not around. The other is because the autumn rainy season is coming and I'm afraid the house will leak..."
Wei Miao looked at Lu Pingsheng sideways. He hadn't said this in advance, but she didn't wait for Xu Ayu and Wei Ada to express their opinions, and asked Lu Pingsheng:
"Then if I stay at your house day and night, does that count as overtime? Excluding the daytime working hours, will the overtime pay for working at night be double?"
Lu Pingsheng: ...
Xu Ayu and Wei Ada looked at Lu Pingsheng's speechless expression. How could they feel that their daughters would be wronged?
