Chapter 55 Hong Kong City Zhong Family
"Uncle, maybe it's because you all have your own families and Brother Fu is not the type of person who likes to cause trouble for others, so he acts like this. He actually has no opinion about you." Ye Qiaoqiao said.
Zhong Wen smiled, "You are right, but it is better to associate with you, Qiao Qiao, than to associate with that boy. If you are well, he will be well, and I will feel relieved."
"I see you are so thin. Are you sick? I'll ask your family doctor to check you out first." Zhong Wen brought up the topic at the right time. It was obvious that he had been paying attention to Ye Qiaoqiao's condition for a long time.
Ye Qiaoqiao thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Zhong."
She also didn't want to make Brother Fu worry.
After a while, the family doctor came to examine Ye Qiaoqiao, gave her an IV, and prescribed some dietary supplements before leaving.
Ye Qiaoqiao felt much better and slept for a few hours in her room in the afternoon. At around seven o'clock in the evening, she went downstairs with Zhong Wen, got into a car, and went to a high-end Western restaurant for dinner.
Ye Qiaoqiao saw that the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window was still bustling with lights and feasting. Various flyers were posted everywhere. The number of taxis passing through the streets was more than the number of cars in a provincial capital in the mainland, and there were also double-decker trams.
There are many food stalls downstairs and there are constant flow of people.
"Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take you around here. After you're done visiting Mong Kok, I'll take you back to Hong Kong Island. My children are all there, and your aunt also wants to meet you and Juechuan, but I didn't tell you and will wait to arrange a formal meeting."
"There are a lot of high-end shopping malls and modern buildings over there. Since you are traveling, you can go and have a look and buy some souvenirs."
Ye Qiaoqiao thought that she had to help conceal the truth about Fu Juechuan's mission, so she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"No trouble." Zhong Wen was finally happy.
That night, Ye Qiaoqiao had dinner and returned to the large flat to rest for the night. She spent two days walking around Mong Kok and paying attention to the property prices there.
In fact, it is not expensive at the moment, with an average price of six or seven thousand. But compared to the current average salary of a few dozen or a hundred yuan in the mainland, it is basically impossible to buy it.
She only bought some clothes and other things for her family and herself here.
The people arranged by Zhong Wen would pack up her things and take them home at any time for her to leave.
"Qiao Qiao, come on, come with me to meet your aunt and the others." Zhong Wen was in a very happy mood. He took Ye Qiaoqiao directly on a private ship to the harbor area. When they arrived at the dock, a stretched luxury car was already waiting for them.
Ye Qiaoqiao sat down and Zhong Wen was already handling business.
She couldn't help but think, no wonder people who come to Hong Kong nowadays are reluctant to leave. Self-service checkout machines are used here, mobile phones are also very popular, and the average salary is a hundred times higher than that in the mainland, but no matter what, many people are happy to sneak across the border.
The only influence she had was the hope that the mainland could also develop.
Just as Ye Qiaoqiao took out her notebook and recorded everything, they soon arrived outside a high-end tea restaurant.
Zhong Wen asked her to follow him, and a group of bodyguards escorted them into the box on the second floor.
The entire box is very large, covering an area of 200 square meters.
There were already a few people sitting inside. Upon hearing the voice, a middle-aged woman in fashionable clothes immediately stood up. When she saw Ye Qiaoqiao, she immediately smiled kindly.
"Is it Qiao Qiao?" Mrs. Zhong Huang Ruyan walked forward and took Ye Qiaoqiao's hand, a little surprised by her appearance.
Generally speaking, people coming from the mainland have a simple temperament due to the backward times, and even if they dress fashionably, it will look a bit strange.
But Ye Qiaoqiao didn’t have any of that. She was wearing a long, light skirt that didn’t look like it was from any brand, but her temperament was exceptionally outstanding.
Even though she still looks a little sick, it does not affect her exquisite appearance.
"Yongze, Xiyu, come here quickly. This is your cousin's wife, Juechuan's fiancée Qiaoqiao." Huang Ruyan waved and called her son and daughter over.
Then he explained to Ye Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, your cousin Yonghua happened to be on a business trip abroad. If I had known that you and Juechuan could come, I would not have let him go so far."
"Aunt, you are too polite. Brother Fu and I made this decision suddenly. Sorry to bother you."
"How could that be?" Huang Ruyan had a smile on her face. After the children greeted her, she quickly took Ye Qiaoqiao to sit at the big round table.
Zhong Yongze and Zhong Xiyu both stared at Ye Qiaoqiao for several times.
They were very much looking forward to meeting their cousin Fu Juechuan. Although they exchanged letters throughout the year, they admired each other so much that it was a pity that their cousin just didn't come to Hong Kong City.
Now that they saw their cousin's fiancée, they both wanted to pull Ye Qiaoqiao aside to talk to her.
Unfortunately, they didn't dare to do so in front of their two elders and could only watch with envy.
Throughout the lunch, Ye Qiaoqiao ate various kinds of seafood that are hard to find in the mainland, such as goose feet with fish maw in abalone sauce, abalone, lotus leaf rice, bird's nest with apricot juice, coconut milk cake, etc.
There are also common and famous snacks that are more exquisite than those sold in food stalls.
Ye Qiaoqiao was very satisfied with the meal, but she was still thinking about Fu Juechuan.
Finish lunch.
Huang Ruyan insisted on taking Ye Qiaoqiao to a famous shopping mall.
Ye Qiaoqiao thought about it and decided not to reject it. During her lunch, she felt the care and preferential treatment from the Zhong family. To be honest, their attitude was too nice.
Zhong Wen still has work to do, so he goes back to the company first.
Huang Ruyan brought her children to accompany Ye Qiaoqiao in person.
Sitting on the revolving elevator, Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly saw a familiar person walking in from outside. It was Zhong Hai.
Zhong Hai also saw her. His eyes became fierce and he was about to walk over aggressively. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped because he recognized Huang Ruyan standing next to Ye Qiaoqiao.
Although Mrs. Zhong keeps a low profile in Hong Kong, she has been on the newspapers. Moreover, three generations back of the Zhong Hai family can be more or less related to the Zhong family.
After he came to Gangcheng, he hoped to get close to the Zhong family. If they gave him anything, not only would his life be better, but he could also start a new life in Gangcheng and leave a way out for his family.
Zhong Hai looked suspicious, but he still stepped forward and greeted Huang Ruyan enthusiastically.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhong, I'm Zhong Hai, the younger of Zhong Min, the third room of Uncle Zhong's grandfather's generation." While greeting, Zhong Hai deliberately gave Ye Qiaoqiao a cold look, as if he wanted to see her scared.
Unfortunately, he is going to be disappointed.
Ye Qiaoqiao was shocked by the relationship between Zhong Hai and Zhong Wen, but... she did not let herself panic.
"Well, hello." Huang Ruyan still smiled, but there was a sense of alienation in her eyes. It was obvious that she was already accustomed to being complimented and flattered.
"Mrs. Zhong, I want to find a time to visit Uncle Zhong. I wonder..."
Before Zhong Hai could finish his words, he was interrupted. Huang Ruyan smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about Mr. Zhong's matter. How about this? I'll give you a business card and you can contact him?"
Zhong Hai's smile froze on his face. He didn't expect Huang Ruyan to be so disrespectful. Just give him a business card. Who doesn't have one? There are many people in Hong Kong who can get Zhong Wen's business card. He is simply fooling him.
