Chen Rou countered, "What do you mean by that?"
...
That's right. Nie Zhaosu had only been single for a total of three months, but what Chen Rou didn't know was that in Hong Kong, if a rich man got married and his wife became pregnant, then all sorts of romantic encounters would basically follow.
After all, men are most vulnerable and easiest to win over at this stage.
Nie Zhao would certainly encounter such a trap as well.
So just yesterday, the shipping magnate came to his office specifically to discuss some business matters.
However, the girl he brought was this year's newly crowned Miss Hong Kong, and she was dressed in a gender-neutral style, wearing men's cologne. She sat there with her legs crossed, looking androgynous. It was obvious that the shipping magnate had figured out his personality and specifically found a girl similar to Chen Rou.
Moreover, the shipping magnate specifically mentioned that Miss Hong Kong, like Chen Rou, underwent five months of special training in the TVB Artist Class, learning horseback riding, boxing, shooting, and gun handling. Now she is proficient in everything and is about to film a kung fu movie, aiming to become the Kung Fu Queen.
The Miss Hong Kong contestant had a chic short haircut, wore a leather jacket, and indeed moved quite stylishly.
Nie Zhao didn't know how to describe it.
To be fair, although he particularly disliked Nie Rong, he gradually came to understand her.
This is a money-driven society. Everyone wants to have money, and everyone wants to take money from others. The greater people's desire for money, the greater their expertise in making money will be.
So, in order to earn more money from him, the shipping magnate would specifically find out his preferences. The Miss Hong Kong would also tacitly accept such unspoken rules when she wanted to attract investment for her martial arts film. And he was facing the same situation as the tea lady and Nie Rong.
But the difference was probably because Nie Zhao was still young, not senile, and his mind wasn't broken. So he immediately realized that the relationship between the shipping magnate and Yu Heng was very unusual, and that they had once been involved in a conflict of interest. The girl was just a pawn in the game between the tycoon and the schemer.
He's not a saint. He hasn't eaten meat for three months. Before he abstained from meat, he was eating a lot of meat and fish. Of course, he would have impure thoughts and erotic dreams. But those erotic dreams actually scared him.
However, unlike Nie Rong in front of Han Yuzhu, he was not as inferior to Chen Rou, but he had to pretend to be proud. She had saved him from the beginning, and he had always been in a lower position, so he would say whatever came to mind.
So Boss Nie closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Arou, I was a little scared at the time. I was afraid that when I got old and confused, I would become like Nie Rong, confused, ignorant, yet blindly confident and complacent."
Lust is a dangerous thing. All improper lust not only costs money, but also reputation, and is ridiculed by too many people, just like Liang Lisheng ridiculed Nie Rong.
Nie Zhao was still young and clear-headed, so when he saw that girl, he could only think of four words: "a poor imitation." When the shipping magnate went out to the toilet, the girl crossed her legs and brought up his wife, saying that she was Chen Rou's junior sister and was very good at fighting. He knew that she was trying to please him. Of course, he would immediately instruct Secretary An to refuse all visits from the Miss Hong Kong from now on.
He was also very angry, feeling that the other person was a complete copycat, imitating his wife.
But when he tried to imitate it, he couldn't quite get it right. His anger was the same as when Master Er discovered that Master Dong and his cronies had also started singing popular songs. But he couldn't guarantee that his mind would be as clear as it was now when he got old.
Yes, he likes his wife looking cool and sharp in her jacket.
But he will grow old, and so will his wife. What if a girl like that appears in front of him in the future, just like when Nie Rong saw a girl who had both Han Yuzhu's looks and Mei Lu's gentleness? What would he do?
He is still young, and it's hard to know what the future holds.
But he was genuinely afraid that one day he would become a laughingstock among all the people of Hong Kong.
He turned to look at his wife and said, "It is said that those who slay dragons eventually become dragons themselves. I want to be the exception, but I am still very afraid."
In Chen Rou's view, all of the richest man's melancholy was a bit of a case of whining without cause.
Besides, he still has decades to live, so why should he think so much?
But after a moment of contemplation, Nie Zhao gently placed his hand on his wife's abdomen and said, "That's why people have to have a baby."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe I will grow old and become confused and muddled, but as long as I raise my baby well, he will take over my work and wake me up, just like I do for Nie Rong now."
Chen Rou suddenly found it amusing, and patted her belly, asking, "What if the baby kicks you out of the house, or even puts you under house arrest?"
That's certainly possible, after all, history always progresses in cycles, let alone humankind.
Nie Rong, living in Happy Valley, curses every day, saying that sooner or later, Nie Zhao, this unfilial son, will be punished, and perhaps in the future, he will also be kicked out of the house by his children?
But Nie Zhao certainly didn't think his way of treating his father was wrong, and at least in his current view, that was the right thing for the child to do.
So he said, "That means the baby is better than me, doesn't it?"
