Not everyone had the opportunity to see the lives of the people during the Republic of China. He was considered lucky to be able to experience it personally. However, during this period, the places where ordinary people lived were mostly mixed with people of all walks of life. It was very good now. With the young marshal's personal guards protecting him, he could walk around like a crab.
"Adjutant Wei, where is the most famous entertainment street in the city?”
"Miss Lin, are you talking about a place to eat, drink, and have fun?”
"Yes."
"But that kind of place, where there are all kinds of people mixed together, is not suitable for Miss's identity. Besides, if the Young Marshal finds out, he will definitely skin me alive.”Those places were crowded and Adjutant Wei was more worried about Lin Xiyan's safety.
"He won't know if I don't tell him or you don't. Deputy Wei, I'm just curious. I promise I'll only stay for a while.”Lin Xiyan looked at Wei Heng innocently.
Wei Heng hesitated, but finally could not resist Lin Xiyan's pleading and agreed.
" Four Sides Casino," Lin Xiyan muttered.
"Miss, do you want to go in?" This was the casino jointly opened by the Young Marshal and the Du family. He could guarantee Lin Xiyan's safety here.
Lin Xiyan walked in. The scene inside was roughly the same as what she saw in the TV series. The bouncer wanted to greet Lin Xiyan when he saw her come in, but he retreated to the side when he saw Adjutant Wei behind him. It seemed that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"Miss, what do you want to play?" Adjutant Wei asked. This was the Young Marshal's place and Lin Xiyan could do whatever she wanted. Anyway, no matter if she won or lost, it was the Young Marshal's money.
"I don't know how to play, I'm just looking around. Actually, there's nothing special about it. Let's go.”
Lin Xiyan walked out of the gambling den and looked around. This was a famous entertainment street in the city. There were gambling dens, brothels, smokehouses, and dance halls.
"Adjutant Wei, how many shops here belong to Duan Weilin?”Lin Xiyan remembered him saying that he had many businesses in He City.
"Three gambling dens, three smokehouses, two dance halls, and two brothels.”Adjutant Wei answered truthfully.
"So he has both prostitution and drugs." In modern times, Duan Weilin looked more like a mafia boss.
"Other than this, the young marshal has other businesses. If the marshal wanted to arm his own army, he had to have a salary. Without a salary, no one would join the army.”
Adjutant Wei was very honest. "Deputy Wei, let's go there and take a walk." Lin Xiyan pointed casually.”
That street was the most famous flower street in the city. Deputy Wei's forehead was covered in sweat." Miss Lin, let's go somewhere else. That place is really not suitable for you."”If the Young Marshal knew that he had brought Miss Lin to the flower street, it would be strange if he did not skin him alive.
"Are you afraid that Duan Weilin will punish you? It's okay. I said I won't tell him. Even if he finds out, I'll take responsibility for you. Actually, I just want to know why you men like to stay in that kind of place.”
Adjutant Wei smiled embarrassedly and said,"It's a man's nature.”
"Oh, so even if a man says that he loves his woman, he will still come out and cheat.”Lin Xiyan thought of her poor mother. She loved Lin Sihan all her life and gave everything to him, but in the end, she died a tragic death. Meanwhile, Lin Sihan was still living a leisurely life with three wives and four concubines.
"Young Marshal is different now. Ever since he decided on Miss Lin, Young Marshal has not come here.”Adjutant Wei thought that Lin Xiyan's lonely appearance was because Duan Weilin also loved to stay here, Gu explained.
"Oh, I see. Adjutant Wei, let's go back." Whether Duan Weilin came or not had nothing to do with him. He just suddenly thought of asking. Although she said that, Lin Xiyan was secretly delighted.
the next day
Lin Xiyan had just gotten up and went downstairs when Zhu Yan pulled her over and handed her an envelope.
"This is from the Young Marshal's Mansion. Just now, Liu Junru wanted to open it and take a look. Fortunately, I noticed it in time and quickly snatched it over.”
"Thank you, Second Concubine." Lin Xiyan opened the envelope. Adjutant Wei was very efficient. He knew the man's background in one night.
"What did the letter say?" Zhu Yan asked curiously.
"I asked Fourth Miss Duan to help me investigate some things. Second Concubine, I'll go out for a while. Help me keep an eye on Liu Junru.”
"Don't worry. If Liu Junru makes any movements, I'll let you know immediately.”
At this moment, the phone rang. A servant answered the phone and said,"Miss Xiyan, it's a call for you."
Who was looking for him? Lin Xiyan took the phone. May I know who you are?"
"Xiyan, it's me." It was Long Qian's voice on the other end.
It was Long Qian. She thought about how she hadn't visited her mother-in-law for some time.
"Brother Long, what's the matter?"
"You haven't been here for a few days.”
"I'm fine."
"Xiyan, can you come today? Grandmother misses you, and I miss you too."
Lin Xiyan was a little embarrassed. She wanted to visit her mother-in-law, but she couldn't face Long Qian. Firstly, Li Xinyou liked Long Qian, and secondly, she only treated him as her brother.
"Alright, I'll go over later." There were some things that needed to be made clear to Long Qian.
Lin Xiyan put down the phone and Liang Yan said,""Chief Long? Xi 'er, Chief Long is a big shot in the city. He likes you. If you obey him, Liu Junru and your father won't be your match.”
"I can deal with Liu Junru myself. Second Concubine, just do what you should do.”Lin Xiyan then walked out of the Lin family's house.
longfu
Long Qian did not expect Li Xinyou to come today. Although she was the daughter of the chief, she had never taken the city government seriously. As she was Lin Xiyan's friend and a girl, he couldn't embarrass her.
"Chief Long, I brought some pastries for granny.”Li Xinyou handed over the pastries.
"Youyou made this personally." Jiang Xiaoya accompanied Li Xinyou.
Long Qian nodded casually. This Jiang Xiaoya had betrayed her friendship with Lin Xiyan, and Long Qian did not have any good feelings towards her.
"I thank Miss Li on behalf of my grandmother. Grandmother has already taken her afternoon nap. If there's nothing else, I can't keep Miss Li.”
It was an obvious order to leave. Li Xinyou twisted the handkerchief in her hand. Jiang Xiaoya, who was beside her, lightly touched her arm and gave her a look.
In the end, Li Xinyou mustered up her courage and said,"Chief Long, I like you."”
The sudden confession made Long Qian feel helpless. He looked at Li Xinyou and coughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment. He didn't expect Li Xinyou to be so bold as to confess to him.
"I'm sorry, Miss Li. To me, you're just Xiyan's friend.”
In other words, without Lin Xiyan, she was not even a friend to him. Li Xinyou's heart ached. She didn't expect Long Qian to reject her directly.
" I thought Chief Long treated me as a friend." Li Xinyou's eyes were covered with tears.
Perhaps he was too direct, but if he was not direct enough, it would hurt Li Xinyou the most if she still had fantasies.
"Perhaps I did something to cause Miss Li to misunderstand. I apologize. You and I are not from the same world. There should not be any interaction between us. Since we've already made it clear today, please don't waste any more time on me and don't come to the Long residence in the future. Otherwise, it won't be good for Miss Li's reputation.”His words were cruel, but it was better than Li Xinyou's fantasy.
His words were even colder than his appearance. Li Xinyou told herself not to cry. After all, it was all her own wishful thinking. However, Li Xinyou had a hurdle in her heart. If it was Lin Xiyan who said this today, would he still reject her?
"Chief Long said that we're not from the same world. May I ask Chief Long, is Lin Xiyan from the same world as Chief Long?”
Lin Xiyan didn't belong to her own world, but he loved her. Long Qian didn't know how to answer Li Xinyou, so he chose to keep quiet.
From his silence, Li Xinyou knew that Lin Xiyan was different to him, and her hatred for Lin Xiyan suddenly escalated.
At this moment, the servant led Lin Xiyan in. Lin Xiyan didn't expect Li Xinyou and Jiang Xiaoya to be here.
"Youyou, why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Long Qian looked at Lin Xiyan with bright eyes. Li Xinyou looked at Long Qian sadly,""Did Master Long reject me because of Xiyan?”
Li Xinyou's expression was very bad. Lin Xiyan looked at Long Qian blankly. What happened? Did she not know?
"I don't think I need to tell you. Miss Li, please leave.”Long Qian knew that Lin Xiyan had always regarded Li Xinyou as her best friend.
"Even if you don't say it, I know. You like Xiyan, so you rejected me for her.”
It turned out that Li Xinyou had confessed to Long Qian. He had come here today to make things clear with Long Qian. Why not say it in front of Li Xinyou so that she wouldn't misunderstand him?
"Chief Long, I'm not here to see granny today. I have something to tell you. I'm very grateful for your help these days, so I'm very happy to have you as my brother. As for other things, I have never thought about them. In my heart, you have never been the person I want.”This was direct enough, Long Qian should understand.
"So Xiyan has always known that Master Long likes you. How ridiculous. Chief Long rejected me, and you rejected Chief Long. Xiyan, I've always treated you as my best friend and sister. Why didn't you tell me the truth?”Li Xinyou's sorrowful expression turned into one of resentment as she looked at Lin Xiyan.
"Xiyan, do you remember what I told you? I hope you can think about it carefully. Also, I've never had any feelings for Miss Li. Even if you reject me, I won't like her.”Maybe I speak a little coldly
"Brother Long, I've thought it through very clearly. I really only treat you as my brother.”
"Enough, you're making me even more embarrassed. Xiyan, I've always thought of you as my best friend, but you snatched it from me. I hate you.”Li Xinyou ran out of the Dragon Mansion.
When would she snatch Long Qian from her? Lin Xiyan was speechless. She couldn't let Li Xinyou misunderstand her. Lin Xiyan said to Long Qian," Brother Long, I'm going to see Youyou first. I'll come back to see my mother-in-law when I have time."”
Long Qian didn't stop Lin Xiyan. She said she would come back, which meant she still had a chance. However, even if she still rejected him, he would not let go.
