When he heard that Qiao Liansheng was leaving, Zhang Xianyong blocked the door and refused to let Qiao Liansheng leave. He pointed at Qiao Liansheng's nose and scolded,""Qiao, you heartless bastard! I was kind enough to help you find a beautiful wife, and you f * cker still left just like that. What do you take me for?!”
Hearing Zhang Xianyong's foul language, Qiao Liansheng's eyes reddened. Although this little rascal he met at the south of Liuliqiao was mischievous and liked to make a scene, he was the person he felt the most intimate with and the only person he could completely trust, even though he was only a child who was not even fifteen years old. If there was a day when he had to leave Beijing, the one he would be most reluctant to part with would definitely be this little brat.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving. I'm just changing places. It's not far away.”Qiao Liansheng smiled and patted Zhang Yong's little cheek. He had lived here for more than half a year, so it was considered half a home. If he had the time, he would come over to take a look. After all, Ma Houwen had paid a year's rent, so there was a limit to how much he could waste.
"Not leaving?" The little cub was stunned, its small eyes wide open. It looked at Qiao Liansheng, but its hands were still blocking the door.
"I'm not leaving. I'm still in Beijing." Qiao Liansheng smiled lightly and patted the little cub's head.
Upon hearing that Qiao Liansheng was not leaving, the little bastard Zhang Xianyong's expression instantly changed. He walked around Qiao Liansheng in a sly manner, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and walked back to Qiao Liansheng with a questioning expression." You're rich?”
Qiao Liansheng was stunned and smiled noncommittally. Old Xu's family's standard of living shouldn't be bad, and he should be able to make a fortune by moving in! However, no matter what, it was still someone else's home. He was just basking in some light.
"Don't worry, if I really get rich one day, I'll definitely bring you along!”Qiao Liansheng smiled and shook her head. She walked around Zhang Xianyong and left the house that she had lived in for more than half a year and was less than ten square meters.
"Brother Qiao, remember to come back!”Zhang Xianyong, this little brat, chased after him. He pouted his mouth and shouted the first form of address.
This " Brother Qiao " made Qiao Liansheng's eyes water. She remembered the excited shouts she heard when she came out of prison. She had never forgotten this feeling. He waved his hand and laughed heartily.""I will definitely come back!"
Zhang Xianyong squatted at the entrance of the restaurant, staring at Qiao Liansheng's receding figure. He propped his cheeks with his hands and suddenly burst into tears…
Just as Qiao Liansheng said, Old Xu's house was not far from the south of Liuliqiao. It was in a villa area in the westernmost part of Beijing City Shijingshan District. It was a two-story house with a large courtyard at the back and a small courtyard in front. It was surrounded by tall walls and a large iron gate. As long as one was not a fool, one should know that this was a rich family, and not just any ordinary rich family. This made Qiao Lian Sheng have more confidence in Old Xu's strength.
Qiao Liansheng tidied his collar and gently pressed the doorbell. From what Old Xu said, his granddaughter, Xu Shiyin, should be living in this villa. As for whether there was anyone else, he didn't know. She hoped that Old Xu had told her beforehand, or else it would be awkward.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was wearing an apron and seemed to be busy cooking. She pulled the iron door half open and stared at Qiao Liansheng warily."Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Qiao Liansheng, introduced by Elder Xu.”Qiao Liansheng nodded politely at the middle-aged woman. This was really not like Lu Gou Village, where everyone had to be polite and polite to each other, or they would be scolded for being uncultured.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately became much more polite. She pulled open the iron door and smiled."Come in! Lunch will be ready soon. Ah, Master has instructed me. Young Master, you don't have to stand on ceremony. I'm the nanny of the Xu family. My surname is Feng. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Feng.”
"Auntie Feng." Qiao Liansheng called out sensibly.
"Only Miss lives here. Master and Madam are busy with work and rarely come back to stay once a week. With Young Master moving in, there was one more man in the house. They did not have to worry anymore.”Auntie Feng led Qiao Liansheng into the villa, talking as they walked. It seemed like it had been a long time since she last chatted with someone, so she was a little talkative.
"Is Miss at home?" Qiao Liansheng probed. Because of Old Xu's ambiguous smile, he felt that if he really met Xu Shiyin, it would definitely be a little awkward.
"Miss has gone to school and will probably only be back at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. She's fun, but she never spends the night outside. You don't know, Miss is really handsome. The number of young men chasing after her can't be counted! However, Miss had high standards and did not fancy any of them!”Speaking of this, Auntie Feng beamed with joy. After being a nanny in the Xu family for eight years, she really treated Xu Shiyin as half a daughter. Her daughter was very likable, and she was very happy.
Qiao Liansheng smiled and listened in agreement. As he spoke, he followed Auntie Feng up to the second floor and stopped at the door of a bedroom on the north side of the hall.
"This is Young Master's room. It has always been empty. I tidied it up yesterday. Young Master, don't worry and stay in it!”Auntie Feng smiled and pushed open the bedroom door.
Qiao Liansheng leaned in to take a look. The exquisitely decorated, brightly polished furniture, and spacious structure were worlds apart from the small house that was less than ten square meters. Of course, this bedroom was the sky, and the small house that was less than ten square meters was the ground.
"Miss lives on the first floor?" Qiao Liansheng was a little happy. Xu Shiyin's parents rarely came back, and there were two rooms on the first floor, so it should be for their family. The entire second floor had become his own space, so there was less awkward contact.
"Miss also lives on the second floor. I took a room on the first floor. Master and Madam share a room.”Aunt Feng pointed at the room opposite and said with a smile.
This sentence shattered Qiao Liansheng's thoughts of escaping. She smiled bitterly in her heart and didn't ask any more questions. A man shouldn't be afraid of a woman. Perhaps she was a gentle and refined woman!
She packed her luggage and had lunch with Auntie Feng. Three dishes and a soup was already a luxury for Qiao Liansheng. Auntie Feng seemed to be used to eating alone. With Qiao Liansheng around, she became more talkative. She nagged a lot, and Qiao Liansheng understood a lot.
Xu Shiyin was an only child. Her parents had opened a medium-sized company together. The business seemed to be very good. They were busy inside and outside. Xu Shiyin was the only one left in the family. As the apple of the Xu family's eye, she was very loved by the family.
After understanding all this, Qiao Liansheng finally understood why Old Xu had proposed this marriage. Speaking of which, the Xu family only had Xu Shiyin as a seedling. Since she was a girl, they had to find a reliable grandson-in-law to support the Xu family. However, Qiao Liansheng couldn't comment on how much Old Xu valued her. She could only say that she had only dared to proudly pat her chest and say that she was a rich husband after she had truly achieved that step.
Qiao Liansheng was not in a hurry to go out. After dinner, he went into his room and took out a map he bought on the way here. He began to study it carefully. Old Xu had said that although the Bai family did not have military influence, they had been officials for three generations. Their authority in Beijing was much stronger than that of the Jun Hao family. Therefore, the White Dragon Society's jurisdiction was twice as large as that of the Black Wolf Gang, including Haidian District, Chaoyang District, and parts of Chongwen District. This bone was not that easy to swallow.
Qiao Liansheng didn't have a plan to take over the White Dragon Society yet, but Old Xu had mentioned that there were many places in Chongwen District where dragons and snakes mingled. It was also a place that the White Dragon Society and Black Wolf Hall hadn't touched. Those places were extremely chaotic and had all kinds of people.
Qiao Liansheng understood Old Xu's words very well. If he wanted to swallow the White Dragon Society, he had to at least have his own team. However, from Old Xu's words, he didn't seem to be looking for anyone to support him. Instead, he wanted to recruit people on his own.
If a craftsman wants to do his work well, he must first sharpen his tools. Qiao Liansheng spent the entire afternoon preparing and had dinner with Auntie Feng. He packed his things and was about to head out to the place that Old Xu had mentioned in Chongwen District. Just as he was about to pull open the metal door, it opened automatically. A face that looked like a girl from an anime appeared in front of him. Looking at her large, watery eyes, he was stunned for a moment.
" Auntie Feng!" The girl was frightened by Qiao Liansheng. She took a step back and shouted inside.
Auntie Feng rushed over and asked the girl in panic,"What's wrong?"
"Who is he? Why is he in our house?" The girl was Xu Shiyin, who had just returned from school. Because none of her sisters had invited her out to play today, she had returned early. At this moment, when she saw this unfamiliar man, her face was filled with hostility. However, that cute and charming face of a girl from an anime was very pleasing to the eye even if she was angry. There was no prestige at all.
"Hey, I was wondering what happened! Hehe, this is Young Master Qiao, whom Old Master mentioned before. He just came over at noon. I followed Old Master's instructions and let him stay in the empty room on the second floor.”Aunt Feng heaved a sigh of relief and explained.
"You are Qiao Liansheng?" Xu Shiyin quieted down and blinked her watery eyes to size up Qiao Liansheng as she asked doubtfully.
Qiao Lian Sheng nodded and smiled.""It's the real deal." He did not expect Old Xu's granddaughter to be such a cute girl. He was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shiyin's expression suddenly changed. She stared coldly at Qiao Liansheng and said,""You've been in prison, right?"
Qiao Liansheng was stunned. Suddenly, she felt that Xu Shiyin looked familiar. She remembered in an instant that she was the cute girl who had said that she was a dog that could not change its ways at the prison entrance. She smiled bitterly and nodded shyly. This Old Xu's wish was probably going to come to nothing. His first impression was already so bad, how could he still hope to become a grandson-in-law?
"You really have the cheek to come to my house? Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?" Xu Shiyin mocked.
Qiao Liansheng didn't say anything and remained silent. Even under the eaves, one had to lower their heads.
"I'm telling you, don't let me catch you, or else you'll get it!”Xu Shiyin's eyes widened as she threatened Qiao Liansheng. She angrily bumped Qiao Liansheng's arm and entered the villa.
Qiao Liansheng smiled helplessly and nodded at Auntie Feng." Auntie Feng, I'm going out. I'll be back a little late." If possible, help me open the door!"
Auntie Feng smiled and took out a bunch of keys from her pocket." Look at my memory. I forgot to give you the keys. Here, take it." You can come back anytime."
"Then I'll be leaving. Goodbye, Auntie Feng." Qiao Liansheng took the key and stepped out of the iron door, but was stopped by Auntie Feng.
"Young Master, don't worry. Old Master has told me about your matter. I will find an opportunity to tell Young Miss.”Auntie Feng looked at Qiao Liansheng with some tender affection.
Qiao Liansheng paused and left the villa without responding. He was not ignorant enough to explain his actions to others. In such a bustling city, a man should live like a real man…
