Chapter 61: Long-awaited Reunion
Liang Chihui settled the matter with Master Chen and hurried back to the old house.
Liang Yanzhang kept urging him.
He stood in front of the mahogany screen in the living room and said, "I've been to the provinces."
Liang Yanzhang washed the tea set slowly and said, "Does she know you're going?"
He confessed truthfully, "I know."
"What does she mean?"
Liang Chihui raised his eyes slightly, then lowered them again, "There aren't many opportunities for private contact."
Liang Yanzhang frowned, "She lives in the theater dormitory?"
"It seems like I'm staying in a hotel."
"Which hotel?"
Liang Chihui was silent for a while, "I didn't ask."
"What did you do there?" Liang Yanzhang said with some dissatisfaction, "Go back to your room and rest first."
Liang Chihui changed into slippers at the entrance and went upstairs.
......
The big shot in the city gave his lover Su Su a big gift package of "motorhome gold", which contained 13.14 kilograms of gold, not a gram more or less. Su Su was very happy and invited all the colleagues in the hospital to dinner at Wanbaolou.
The actress was envious and complained about her bad luck on the way to the restaurant. She didn't have a man with such a fat wallet. The man was in his fifties or sixties. He was a little old and ugly, with wrinkles on his face, but he was romantic and generous because he had a lot of money.
He Sang walked at the back without saying a word.
She understood one thing too well: there is no free lunch in the world.
Su Su treated everyone to a meal, and everyone praised her and fawned over her. She was spending money to buy comfort, not to mention the shrewd old men. Their intentions must be more insidious and clearer than those of women.
Powerful men are usually not very generous. If they suddenly give their "goddaughter" a huge sum of cash, there is a high probability that they will be investigated by their superiors. They will sell the stolen goods in advance, transfer them, and drag the woman into the water to help them share the disaster.
Women tend to become confused when they taste sweetness, but men become very clear-headed when they give sweetness.
Su Su was counting the number of people in front and noticed that He Sang had fallen behind. She took the initiative to come over and said, "Sister Sang, I heard that the Liang family from another province is related to you? Is it the Liang Yanzhang family, the second of the four major families?"
Her expression was evasive for a moment and she didn't intend to say more.
Su Su smiled awkwardly, "Sister Sang, I'm not gossiping, I'm just curious. You have the Liang family as your backing, so even if you live outside, you'll have a comfortable life for the rest of your life. Why would you work so hard to be an actor?"
The first performance was so lively that He Sang knew he couldn't hide it. After all, Liang Chihui wouldn't be so idle as to stand up for a stranger. "I'm always friends with Liang."
"Friends?" Su Su was skeptical. "I've performed in the neighboring province. Liang Lao Er is a very romantic man. Is he only friends with you?"
He Sang remained calm, "A real friend."
"Is Liang Lao Er your backer?" Su Su stared at her.
She was silent.
"Liang Yanzhang?"
He Sang was frightened this time, "No!"
Su Su basically guessed who it was.
Gu Jianghai is the head of the Chang'an District Bureau. Money alone cannot move him out of retirement, he must have power.
The third son of the Liang family is generally recognized as a man who keeps himself clean. Many of his colleagues have introduced women to him, both openly and secretly, and begged him to show some favor in their official business, but they were dismissed with cold words. He Sang's tactics were not simple at all when he hooked up with him.
Su Su smiled and said, "Sister Sang, we have the same ideals and backgrounds, but my man is far inferior to Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang is famous for his handsomeness."
Later in the box, He Sang obviously felt that Su Su was trying to please him more. She was probably worried that He Sang would reveal her affair. Liang Jishen was in the same circle as her backstage. If the news got to the backstage ears, Su Su would be dead.
He Sang adhered to the "three no's" principle at both her old and new employers: no taking sides, no stealing the show, and no framing others. She immediately stated that she would keep the secret, and Su Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Halfway through the meal, a waiter came in and stopped beside He Sang, "Are you Miss He?"
She turned her head, "I am."
The waiter handed over a tray, "Your clothes are too thin. Mr. Liang asked me to bring his coat."
Cheng Xun informed He Sang in the morning that Liang Jishen would come in the afternoon, so she specifically asked for leave from Dean Huang. However, she had a major scene and the role was quite delicate, and no other actress could handle it except her, so the hospital did not approve her leave.
"Where is he?"
“A restaurant in the South Side.”
He Sang quietly stood up without disturbing his colleagues and followed the waiter out.
At the end of the circular corridor is an octagonal pavilion made of red bricks and white tiles, with a pure silver plaque with large gold-plated characters inscribed on it: Zhuangyuan Pavilion.
The evening's colorful clouds enveloped the pavilion, and He Sang's eyes were fixed on the man's back.
He didn't sit at the main table, which was occupied by a couple. The man wore a Tang suit, the woman a qipao. They looked to be in their early forties. Liang Jishen had probably come by invitation. His hair was long, and since he was too lazy to style it, he waxed it and combed it back, giving him a dashing, unassuming look.
He Sang had never known him to look so dashing in a velvet suit. His caramel-colored vertical-stripe trousers seemed to ripple with color. He looked calm, uninhibited, and uninhibited. He held a cigarette in his mouth as he listened to the host and Director Gu chat, rarely interrupting, yet nevertheless making himself unignorable.
The waiter urged her gently, "Miss He, please follow me."
Step onto the bluestone steps and walk along the cobblestones for dozens of meters to reach the center of the pavilion.
The hostess in cheongsam looked past Liang Jishen and examined He Sang carefully. "Director Gu, this is the girl you came out to protect, right? She's about the same age as your daughter. You're a decent person, but you've fallen for this, too?"
Director Gu glared, "If you make up rumors about me again, I'll arrest your husband!"
"Catch him, our family is innocent."
The hostess walked up to He Sang and said in a very friendly manner, "Xiao He, aren't you cold?"
The lady was so graceful and elegant. The husband must be very prestigious, otherwise Liang Jishen would not have been invited. "I'm not cold, madam."
She introduced herself, "My husband's last name is Qiu."
Mrs. Qiu is the largest silk business agent in the north. Thanks to the power in Mr. Qiu's hands, she has secured supply channels in North China.
He Sang secretly glanced at Liang Jishen. He had his back to the pavilion entrance and also to her, his posture firm.
Who would have known that this flower on the mountain top, who was kept away from strangers, was so cruel and wildly fucked by the iron-fisted and sharp-handed inspector Liang when he went to bed with her.
She let her hands hang lazily, "Mr. Qiu, Director Gu."
Didn't call him.
Liang Ji frowned and turned around.
