In a police station in Shanghai. Wen Hui reported everything that happened tonight to a police officer. The police officer listened to Wen Hui with a disapproving expression."Miss, are you saying that your friend's phone was picked up by a man? Have you ever thought that he might be her boyfriend?”
" That's impossible. She would have told me if she had a boyfriend."
" Hehe, why are you so sure that she would tell you if she has a boyfriend?" The police officer didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Because we are very good friends."
"Hehe, many people hide things like dating from their parents. What reason do they have to tell their best friends?”
"Then why did that man say that he didn't know Yiyi? Oh right, he also said that that was the Xia family's residence. I've checked online, but there's no such place.”
"I'm really sorry. The phone number you provided is unable to find out the exact location. How about this? I'll investigate this matter and inform you as soon as I have any news."
" Then…alright." When they left the police station, it was already very dark. Wenhui walked listlessly and aimlessly. She was worried about Yiyi's safety. Now that she couldn't even count on the police station, how could she contact Yiyi? Yiyi, where are you? Are you okay?
Meng Lin slept all the way until dawn the next day. When he realized that he had fallen asleep on the sofa last night, he heard a noise from the kitchen. He looked up and saw his brother coming out with breakfast. The table in the living room was filled with delicious food. Brother, you woke up so early and even made breakfast."
"You're awake, my sister. Hurry up and eat. We start work tomorrow. Today, I'll bring you out to play."
Meng Lin dragged his lazy body and sat lazily on the chair. The table was filled with western food, fried eggs, sandwiches, milk, and fruit salad. Wow, they were all Meng Lin's favorite food. Ever since he came to the Xia residence, he had not eaten western food for a long time. He almost choked on the sandwich in two bites. He quickly drank a glass of milk and pounded his chest. It was really delicious.
" How long has it been since you last ate? I remember you had dinner last night," Azurepeak smiled calmly.
"I don't eat western food at all in my hometown. I really like western food."
"Then eat more, as long as you're not afraid of getting fat."
"Brother, where are we going today?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Uh…Western Cafe."
"Why do you want to go there?" Azurepeak was a little surprised.
"I just want to go." Meng Lin smiled mischievously.
After breakfast, Azurepeak drove his sister to the Western Cafe. The environment here was very elegant. There were a few foreigners and a few couples. Meng Lin was filled with curiosity about the coffee shop. She looked around, but only she knew that she was comparing the coffee shop to the coffee shop that she frequented before she transmigrated. There was a bookshelf in the corner of the coffee shop, but this coffee shop had a phonograph. The counter of the coffee shop was black, while the one here was white. The sofa of the coffee shop was red and brown, while the one here was all black. The service staff of the coffee shop were wearing shirts, pants, and aprons. Western-style uniforms in the cafe were western-style vests, while black coffee…Haha, so different. Thinking of this, Meng Lin really laughed out loud. Azurepeak was shocked by this smile.
"What's so funny?" Azurepeak asked.
"This cafe is really fun!"
"You've been in England for a few years and have seen all kinds of cafes. Why is this place different from those cafes?"
" You don't understand." Meng Lin deliberately looked at Azurepeak with disdain. He stirred the coffee a few times, took a sip, and frowned." This coffee isn't as good as the future coffee."
"What did you say?" Azurepeak thought he had heard wrong.
" Nothing." Meng Lin looked mischievous.
"Coffee from now on? What do you mean?"
"Then answer my question from last night. What kind of woman do you like?”Meng Lin grinned.
"Alright, you set me up!"
"Tell me, what kind of woman do you like?"
"Answer my question first, then I'll tell you."
"No, I can't. I asked you first."
"Then forget it. I don't want to know your answer either, so don't ask for my answer."
"Brother, I said if…It's just if…It's just if…"
"If what?"
"If we weren't siblings and were classmates, would you fall in love with me?”
The moment Meng Lin said this, Azurepeak, who was drinking coffee, choked.
" Aiyaya, be careful. Why are you choking?" Meng Lin said as he handed a napkin to his brother. Azurepeak kept coughing, and his fair face was red from holding it in. Meng Lin's heart ached when he saw his brother's uncomfortable look. He hurriedly handed him a napkin and poured some water. In an instant, he was also flustered.
After a while, Azurepeak slowly calmed down. He took a sip of coffee and looked at his silly sister helplessly." What's going on in your head all day? It's really hard to believe that you studied hard in England."
"Aiya, quickly answer me. I said it's only if. It's not true."
"We are siblings from the same mother, not classmates, so there are no ifs in history."
"But if…"
" Let's change the topic, sister." Azurepeak smiled slyly. Meng Lin saw it and had no choice but to give up.
"I'm now very suspicious of what you've been doing all those years in England. With your little brain, I don't believe that you're only focused on studying."
" Uh…sometimes I study, sometimes I play. Life isn't just about studying."
"What are we playing?"
"Sometimes I walk around, sometimes I come out for coffee."
" Alone or with some handsome man?" Azurepeak smiled.
"Aiya, with a girl!"
"British?"
"No, black hair like mine."
"Are you from China?"
" Brother, look, the sun is so bright outside. It's a pity for us to stay here. Let's go out and bask in the sun," Meng Lin said and left with his bag.
"Eh? Azurepeak followed helplessly.
The Huangpu River was right outside the door, and the surging waters rose and fell. The two of them came to the riverside, and the light breeze ruffled Meng Lin's hair, adding a sexy beauty to her. Qing Feng told Meng Lin, Every time his grandfather returned to his hometown, he would set off from Huangpu River. As long as there was a river mouth, it would be a living dock. The economy of such a place would definitely develop. His grandfather was poor when he was young. When he first came to Shanghai, he carried big bags. Because he was tall and strong, he was very capable. The shopkeeper thought that he was kind and kind, so he let him be an accountant. His grandfather was very fair as an accountant. His pen had never been crooked. Once, because a clerk calculated the wrong decimals, his grandfather personally accompanied the clerk to calculate the accounts for the year. He did the abacus all night and slept. Because of this, the shopkeeper thought that his grandfather was very dedicated. Later on, he had been focusing on training him. The shopkeeper had no children, and his grandfather had taken care of the old couple in their later years, so he had adopted the company to his grandfather. When he was adopted by his grandfather, it was just a small company. A few years after his grandfather took over, it became the current three big companies. Grandpa's most admirable thing was that he wore silk and satin in Shanghai, changed into a patched coat when he returned to his hometown, fought to do farm work, fought to take broken bread when eating, and left the good bread for his family to eat. When they were enjoying the delicacies in Shanghai, they would think of the old and young in their hometown. Therefore, every time they returned to their hometown, they would buy a lot of high-quality cloth and dried fish to show filial piety to the elderly at home. Therefore, in an era when many poor people could not afford to eat, our Xia family often ate fish and meat. This made others envious. Therefore, the fish heads that our family threw away when washing fish were picked up by our neighbors to be pickled at home. When Azurepeak said this, Meng Lin burst out laughing.
"This is what our father told me. Our father is the eldest in the family. When Grandpa was at his most glorious, he was also sensible. He often listened to Grandpa talk about the outside world. It was not impossible to marinate fish heads in salted vegetables. In that era, there were many people who could not afford to eat. In fact, there were also people in this era. On the streets of Shanghai, beggars could sometimes be seen.”
"No wonder I see Grandfather's shadow on Father. It turns out that he has been influenced by Grandfather since he was young."
"There is such a possibility."
"Then what about Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle?"
"Second Aunt's marriage was arranged by Grandfather. Second Uncle's character is not bad, he is loyal, and his job is good. Second Aunt could be considered a daughter of a noble family. Grandpa also wanted to nurture Third Uncle when he was young so that he could do business with our father in the future. However, he sent him out once and secretly came back at night. After that, Grandpa never let him go out again. Fourth Uncle was not interested in doing business and preferred to study, so Grandpa decided to let him go to university.”
"I think Father, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle are completely different types of people."
"That's right. At first, the family also thought that there was such a big difference between biological brothers. Later on, they thought about it. "Grandpa often told Dad that the family business can't be given to the third brother, otherwise, the Xia family will be doomed." Qingfeng sighed.
"Brother, I've long wanted to come to Shanghai to learn how to do business. I feel that there are all kinds of infighting in the Xia residence. There's no end to it."
" Hehe, silly girl, do you think that Shanghai's companies are all open and aboveboard? There are fights everywhere, but you just don't know the inside story."
Meng Lin was about to ask," What inside story?" Suddenly, a black jeep rushed towards the siblings. The driver in the car suddenly honked his horn and interrupted their conversation. Seeing that the car seemed to be unable to stop, the siblings were shocked by the honking. Meng Lin could not help but let out an " ah "...
