"I was detained? Why?" "I lost money and I have no money to pay the gambling bill." The visitor felt that it was a big joke. The fourth son of the Sheng family, a famous young man in Shanghai, didn't even know how many houses he owned and how much he had. Even the members of the Sheng family couldn't believe that the Fourth Young Master Sheng, who didn't even know how to make money, would one day be reduced to the point where he had no money to pay his gambling bills. The fifth son of the Sheng family also found it strange that although the fourth brother was a bit of a bastard, Sheng Enyi was the most prodigal among the brothers. But it¡¯s not like he squandered all his millions in property within a few years of dividing the family property! Sheng Zhongyi did not feel the seriousness of the situation yet. He simply thought that this was some blind boy who had trouble with the Sheng family. Then he asked: "How much money did you lose?" "More than ten thousand." Si Sheng Zhongyi also took a breath of air. He didn't expect that the fourth child could lose more than twenty thousand in one night. This is a big sum. A huge sum of money that makes people commit crimes! With shock still on his face, Sheng Zhongyi couldn't help but said seriously: "Who are you playing with so much? The fourth child was not such a brainless person before, so how could he be so good at it?" "It's Young Master Lu." "Lu. Young Master How come there is such a famous person in Shanghai? " "It's not Young Master Lu, it's Young Master Lu, the eldest son of Jiangsu Governor Lu Yongxiang's family. " Only then did Sheng Zhongyi realize that the situation was serious, and he was planning to sell his shares. At that time, he and Sheng Enyi carefully considered it for a long time before agreeing to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to accept the share purchase. After all, they also thought about possibly offending Lu Yongxiang and Wang Xueqian, but the outcome seemed to be completely different from what they imagined. It turns out that Sheng Enyi believed that the Japanese intervention could provide some deterrence to the local governor. Especially since Wang Xueqian has already offended the British, it would be unwise to offend the Japanese again. As for Lu Yongxiang's behavior, he probably just swallowed his anger. This was not because the two young men from wealthy families looked down upon Lu Yongxiang, but because they believed that Lu Yongxiang would not dare to have conflicts with the Japanese face to face if Wang Xueqian did not jump out. In addition, most of the Sheng family's properties are in the concession, and only a few properties are in their hometown in Suzhou. For example, the Liuyuan Garden that Sheng Xuanhuai loved so much during his lifetime was left to Sheng Enyi. But since Lu Yongxiang decided to swallow his anger, it was impossible to take action against the Sheng family's properties in Suzhou. It's not because Lu Yongxiang can't do it, but it's not necessary and it's beneath his status. But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Lu Xiaojia actually came forward. In this way, Lu Yongxiang must also know that whether he acquiesces to his son's actions or instructs Lu Xiaojia to stir things up in Shanghai, it indicates that their original expectations have failed. This made Sheng Zhongyi feel a thorn in his back. One wrong step will lead to wrong steps. Especially the concession area dared to seize the Sheng family's property. This would never have been possible if it hadn't been for the British nod. But why did the British obey the demands of the local governors of the Republic of China? If it weren't for Wang Xueqian's strong request, would the British have waded into this troubled waters? Sheng Zhongyi fell on the sofa in despair, feeling dizzy and dizzy. Even if he didn't say it, the people present could see that this man was out of control: "What should I do? What should I do? ? I tried to persuade Fourth Master that Japanese money is not that easy to earn, but he just didn¡¯t listen. " Why are the followers of Fourth Master Sheng still waiting for Master Wu to get the money? But he didn't know that although Sheng Zhongyi was not as spendthrift as the fourth child, he still belonged to the category of "supporting the coffin". Even the ocean with more than 10,000 yuan could stump him. Unless real estate stocks are used to pawn working capital, if it can be pawned, Sheng Laosi will not ask anyone to find Lao Wu. "Fifth Master, are Fourth Grandma still waiting to listen? Young Master Lu said that as long as the gambling debt is paid off, he will be taken away to teach you a lesson." Of course Sheng Zhongyi knew that Lu Xiaojia meant what she said. This was one of the four great princes of the Republic of China, and he was also a man of good reputation. What he says is a matter of spitting and nailing. If his words really don't count, he can only rely on the shameless Lu Xiaojia. This person really can't afford to be embarrassed. Don't think that Lu Xiaojia means what he says and is a benevolent gentleman. This guy just has a good face and has nothing to do with his noble moral character. In fact, Lu Xiaojia is the kind of guy who has no bottom line. He is afraid that Lu Xiaojia will cause trouble. When the Sheng family is raising money, he will drag Sheng Enyi into the trap and continue to force Sheng Enyi to play at the gambling table. When the Sheng family sends money, Sheng Enyi loses again. Go down with a lot of money. This is obviously a trap. If it continues, the Sheng family's tens of millions of assets will not be enough for Lu Xiaojia's appetite. Sheng Zhongyi immediately said richly: "Go and tell your master first not to continue gambling with Lu Xiaojia. We will send the money to you as soon as we raise the money." "Fifth master, can't you tell the patrol room?" Sheng Enyi's follower still had hope. In the patrol room, Sheng Zhongyi sneered.He said: "If the patrol house dares to take charge, it will not freeze our Sheng family's real estate in the concession. I want you to go quickly. If the money raised this time is not enough, I am afraid no one can save your master." In fact, he has not been here since Knowing that Lu Xiaojia could tell the address where Sheng Enyi was detained without any scruple showed that the other party was confident. Besides, it's natural to pay back debts, and the police station has no business dealing with gambling debts. "Please hurry up, Master Five." Watching Sheng Enyi's followers leave, Sheng Zhongyi said to himself coldly: "This old guy is loyal." I don't know what he was thinking, Sheng Enyi's matter is no longer a gamble It's a matter of accounts, it's not simple here. What makes Sheng Zhongyi uncomfortable is that those who want to run the Sheng family behind the scenes are too high-level and are no longer within his reach. Perhaps when Sheng Xuanhuai was alive, the children of the Sheng family would not feel this sudden humiliation. But Sheng Xuanhuai is gone, and the favors of the Sheng family are gone. It is said that it is a cold tea when people leave, but it is somewhat similar to the panic scene in the Sheng family today. Looking for Sheng Shengyi? This guy should have money in his hands, but unfortunately as the elder brother, he knows that Sheng Shengyi is the stingiest among the brothers. Forget it, let¡¯s find Lao Qi, right? The fourth child is Mrs. Zhuang¡¯s biological son. If she doesn¡¯t take action, who will? Of course, Sheng Zhongyi also knew that Mrs. Zhuang was not in good health and might not be able to bear the trouble. The only person in the family who can afford this amount of money is probably the seventh sister, Sheng Aiyi, who has the most private money. In fact, Sheng Zhongyi also understands that it is difficult for Mrs. Zhuang to get more money, but the consequences are really difficult to predict. It is really difficult to say whether the old lady can withstand such a blow. Of course, Miss Sheng Qi will also have money there, after all, their expenses are not much. Unlike him and Lao Si, who spend money lavishly on weekdays, when money is needed at a critical moment, they have to use pawns to make ends meet. The frightened Miss Sheng Qi prayed to Guanyin every day to pray for peace. Unfortunately, praying to Buddha did not relieve the Sheng family from disaster. Instead, Sheng Chongyi, the fifth eldest son of the Sheng family, was waiting for him, who was looking flustered. "Fifth brother, did you think something big happened to the Sheng family when you saw it in such a panic?" "Seventh sister, I really asked you to tell me that something big happened, and the fourth child was detained." "Who is like that? Are you brave enough to arrest people in the concession? "Why don't you report to the patrol house?" Miss Sheng Qi is used to using the patrol house as a messenger, and the Sheng family's previous status has indeed given her this confidence. However, things are very different now. Under Wang Xueqian's dissatisfaction, even the British Consulate chose to avoid his influence, let alone a small patrol room? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Sheng Zhongyi coughed in embarrassment and said: "The patrol room is useless. The one who arrested the person is Lu Xiaojia." "Isn't the fourth brother's father-in-law the prime minister in Yanjing? Does Lu Xiaojia still dare to quarrel with his immediate boss?" Miss Sheng Qi didn't think so. Believe the Word. Sheng Enyi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "In today's world, officials don't have guns in their hands, so what's the use? The Sun family may look glamorous on the surface, but its foundation is no longer good. It's not as good as our family?" Miss Sheng Qi, after all In the boudoir, even though she is in charge of a huge Sheng family, she still knows very little about the outside situation, especially the political affairs. Forget about her, even the two brothers Sheng Enyi and Sheng Zhongyi, who thought they were foolproof, still had big mistakes. Miss Sheng Qi understood that the fifth brother had told Lu Xiaojia, so there was no possibility of deceiving her. However, seeing the comparison of money between zero and zero, even she felt a little ridiculous. She frowned and said, "Why are there zero and zero?" "Yes, isn't this a kidnapping?" "Although Lu Xiaojia is not shy, he still doesn't dare to kidnap people in the concession. This is the money that the fourth child lost at the gambling table, so the amount is mixed," Sheng Zhongyi explained. : "The fourth child was probably provoked by Lu Xiaojia's words, so he bet so much. When he realized what he was doing, he was busy pawning the property. However, he didn't know that the pawn shop didn't accept the property deed at all. Instead, he revealed the news that the Sheng family was in the concession. The real estate transaction has been frozen. He doesn't play this much on weekdays, and he still has money to pay the bills. " At first glance, Miss Sheng Qi's beady face looked like the green vegetables from Jiangnan on a winter morning. Frost. There was white in the green, and green in the white. She was secretly angry in her heart. Her fourth brother was a little too disappointing. Spending money like this on weekdays, the wealth given to him is enough to last him for several years? Originally, seeing the expression on the face of his younger sister, Miss Sheng Qi, Sheng Zhongyi thought it would be better to change the situation for another day, but now that the Sheng family had suddenly offended two big shots that they couldn't afford to offend, Sheng Zhongyi didn't care. When the housekeeper took away the prepared gold bars to ransom the fourth child, Sheng Zhongyi stayed behind. This makes Miss Sheng Qi a little strange. Normally, her fifth brother does not talk to her with such a flattering face. "Seventh sister, brotherHere is one more thing to ask of you. " Miss Sheng Qi raised her eyebrows, looking a little impatient, but she still endured it, nodded meekly and said, "Say it! " "Your fourth brother and I did something wrong and offended someone. " Sheng Zhongyi hesitated, secretly looking at his sister's face again and again. Miss Sheng Qi's clear and pearl-like voice sounded again: "If you have anything to say, just say it. As a family, we will do our best to help. " "Seventh sister, I feel relieved with your words. You also know that Lu Xiaojia did not deliberately embarrass the fourth child, but made things difficult for the fourth child because of the affairs of the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Manufacturing Bureau. Marshal Lu meant one thing here, but on the other hand it still depends on Marshal Wang¡¯s attitude. Here" Miss Sheng Qi was startled: "Marshuai Wang? I have never met him, how can I help you? " Sheng Zhongyi's face turned red, which was rare. It really embarrassed his cheeky face: "Well the boy from the Song family is good friends with Wang Xueqian. If he makes peace" Sheng Zhongyi saw his sister's face getting darker and darker. It was getting uglier and ugly, and he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lao Si and I will agree to any request made by Marshal Wang. " Sheng Zhongyi was also afraid. Wang Xueqian could calmly make the British bow their heads and freeze the Sheng family's real estate transactions in the concession. " This is still just a small test, if it really arouses the other party's anger, it is not so easy to talk. Assassination, kidnapping, and imprisonment Thinking of these consequences, Sheng Zhongyi trembled for no reason, but when he saw Miss Sheng Qi's eyes falling, he was stunned. Only then did he remember that he had led a group of minions to beat Song Ziwen yesterday. It might not be appropriate to ask for help at this time! Sheng Zhongyi also took the risk. He was really afraid and had a new understanding of power. And awe. What's the use of the Sheng family's money? In the eyes of the feudal officials, they are just lambs for slaughter. If the knife is placed on their necks, they won't even have a chance to resist. Sheng Zhongyi gritted his teeth and swore, patting his chest. Guarantee: "Fifth brother, here is my promise to Qimei. As long as Song Ziwen can save the Sheng family from disaster, fifth brother will arrange your marriage for you even if your mother disagrees. Besides, where is your fourth brother? With the two of us here, your work is half done. " Miss Sheng Qi secretly complained in her heart, saying in her heart: If you had said this yesterday, I would have been grateful to you forever. But today? Song Ziwen, a heartless person, wants to break up with the person. But Miss Sheng Qi has some expectations, maybe This is the chance for Song Ziwen and her. Miss Sheng Qi, who was crying, was in a state of confusion. Although she was sitting in front of Sheng Zhongyi, her heart was already flying to Song Ziwen's side. "Oh, my stupidity. What are you waiting for, sister? As long as Song Ziwen agrees to make peace, what if his brother kneels down for him? " Sheng Zhongyi said that he was picking up money for free, but it would be very difficult to make him kneel down. Miss Sheng Qi also knew this. In a small villa on Fukaisen Road, the environment is better than the Song Family Garden It's far worse, and the place is much smaller. The key is that this place is elegant, and it can be seen that the owner is a person with high aspirations. In the living room, Song Ziwen drooped his head and wrapped it in a circle of gauze. Her face was bruised and purple, and the third lady of the Song family raised her little fist like a grinning little tiger (female), shouting: "The Sheng family bullies people too much, I have to make them look good! " " Just say a few words less! "Song Ziwen didn't even dare to go back home, for fear that his honor would worry his mother. But facing his emotionally charged sister who kept inciting him to take revenge, Song Ziwen had no choice. Although the people in the Sheng family were hateful, Sheng loved Yi Bing. It's not hateful. He has already ended this relationship. It would be too vulgar to take revenge according to his character. Song Ziwen is a well-educated and educated doctor who studied abroad, not a gangster. The face is bigger than the sky. Besides, even if he wants to take revenge on the Sheng family, he can't do it, right? Song Ziwen doesn't dare to go back to the Song family, so he can only live in his sister's small garden house. . But his sister is an unreasonable person. It is really difficult to keep quiet these days. Fortunately, the phone came to his rescue. Miss Song San picked up the phone with a cold face and said a few words. sentence, and then handed it to Song Ziwen and said: "Looking for you. " After that, he mouthed silently: It's that woman. Well, Song Ziwen also recognized it, and changed from 'future sister-in-law' to 'that woman'. Regarding his sister's fickleness, Song Ziwen didn't even bother to say anything, and picked up the The voice coming out of the microphone was still as crisp as a bird, which made his heart ripple. But Song Ziwen also knew that he would never be able to face the Sheng family in his life.After being married, Sheng Zhongyi's beating brought the matter between him and Miss Sheng Qi to a complete end. "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'll give it a try" Miss Song San, who was sitting on the edge and listened with her ears propped up, seemed to understand something from her brother's few words. She suddenly became annoyed and shouted: "You Are you still going to help him? Brother, when will you become a man? You are so cowardly." This was the first time Song Ziwen heard his sister commenting on him like this, and he was very familiar with the word "cowardly". , Wang Xueqian often said before, for example: Men cannot be cowards, they have to go up if there are difficulties, and they have to go up if there are no difficulties and create difficulties A layer of clouds can't help but pass over his heart. Song Ziwen doesn't know what to say, he can only sigh secretly, himself My sister was led astray by Wang Xueqian, and she has become farther and farther away from the standard of a lady. However, he also had to explain some things to his family. Song Ziwen said with a cold face: "She and I are no longer possible, but you don't understand about love!" "Hahaha Brother, you finally got the idea and dumped her. Miss Sheng. I'm confused, you are not a good match at all, but the eldest sister and the second sister still want to match you up." Miss Song San was in a good mood. She didn't think it was a happy thing for Miss Sheng Qi to be her sister-in-law. It's because I don't want to fight with her. If her family had asked her to follow Miss Sheng Qi's standards, would she still be alive? ????????????? After pretending to be a lady all day long and speaking in a low voice, I feel like I am getting tired. Suddenly her laughter stopped, as if something was stuck in her throat, and she looked at her brother suspiciously: "What did you just sayI don't understand what love is?" "Alas" Song Ziwen found this question very difficult. The third young lady of the Song family often talked about 'love', but she still solemnly announced it in front of her family. However, the love object makes people feel very suspicious. Either the man is a Dutch photographer who met by chance on the ship, who aspires to travel around the world and does not want to be the head of the family; or he is a French officer who is about to return home In short, the mysterious man and Miss Song San are Definitely not on the same occasion. No matter how nervous the Song family is, they can still understand that this man will probably never appear again. There is no such person, so it is most appropriate to describe Miss Song San¡¯s ¡®scandalous boyfriend¡¯. Miss Song San pouted and asked, "Do you all know?" "Actually, we have guessed it since the French officer." Song Ziwen bravely revealed the truth. Miss Song San was anxious and glared: "But you always question me nervously? Even Mu's mother is like this, youhow can you do this?" Song Ziwen said helplessly: "Rather than let you use other tricks to escape the blind date? "It's better for us to cooperate. It's not my idea. I want you to ask the elder sister." Miss Song San was immediately discouraged when she heard that it was the elder sister's idea. This is a world-class problem. At least to her. However, the petty Miss Song San turned her back angrily, sat heavily on the edge of the sofa, and said angrily: "You want to help the Sheng family, but I just don't agree." Song Ziwen let out a long sigh, His eyes were indescribably lonely: "Although Aiyi and I may never be together in this life, love is not that simple separation. You really don't understand this." He said with some emotion: "Love is not a handshake" After saying half a sentence, Song Ziwen suddenly felt that he couldn't continue. The crucial second half of the sentence was not meant for girls. "Love is not a handshake, love like a handshake is called a one-night stand." ¡¯ Most men understand this sentence. (To be continued.)
