Although Lu Mo didn't say it, Ye Qingqing understood. She cursed the old bachelor in her heart. She thought that Ding Ba had already been taken advantage of by the old bachelor, and she felt very sorry for him. She also understood why Ding Ba frequented brothels but never stayed.
It must be because he was hurt when he was young, and the psychological trauma is too great, that's why he's afraid of his lover.
Poor child!
But what Ye Qingqing didn't know was that Ding Ba frequented brothels because he was naturally a womanizer and loved to flirt with all kinds of women; his womanizing nature was ingrained in his very being.
The old bachelor didn't leave him with any psychological trauma whatsoever. On the contrary, Ding Ba added a lot of stuff to the old bachelor's food and tea when he was a child, which made the old bachelor suffer terribly.
It was a wonderful misunderstanding, which led to many hilarious and absurd situations.
Ding Ba lived alone in a large Western-style house, which was much larger than Ye Qingqing's three houses combined. There were three buildings in the yard: one for the master bedroom, one for the servants, and one for the guest rooms. Ding Ba lived in the master bedroom.
Lu Mo said that there are more than 100 rooms in the three buildings. Ding Ba has not yet visited all the rooms. He has not even entered the other two buildings. He has only cleaned the first and second floors of the master bedroom because he is going to live there.
There is also a huge garden and lawn, with rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, which is very elegant. It can be seen that the previous owner of the house had good taste. It is said to be the house of the Gong family, the owner of the largest shipping company in the Republic of China.
The Sheng and Gu families, including the old lady and Gu Nianci's family, as well as the Sang family, were wealthy families, but not the biggest ones. During the Republic of China era, Pingjiang was home to many big bosses from all over the country, and wealthy families were as numerous as hairs on a cow.
The Sang, Sheng, and Gu families were just ordinary wealthy families, while the Gong family was the real big family. It is said that the Gong family was the leader of the canal gang in the previous dynasty. Later, the canal gang had internal strife, and the whole gang, including the leader, died, but this is just a legend.
Another version is that the gang leader opened a shipping company with a group of loyal subordinates, which was his old profession. The gang leader was changed from Gongsun to Gong, which means the Gong family, the boat captains who had a lot of influence on the water, and was completely whitewashed.
Meanwhile, the gang leader's archenemy also went to Pingjiang, but instead of traveling by water, they landed and became the powerful Green Gang (this is purely fictional, please do not take it personally).
However, these are all legends, and no one knows whether they are true or false. But everyone knows that the Gong family and the Green Gang at that time had a very strained relationship. However, in the face of national and personal hatred, they put aside their grudges and joined hands to do a lot of exciting things, such as assassinating many Han women and their lackeys, as well as the invaders at that time.
However, after the war ended, both the Gong family and the Green Gang went overseas. The Gong family left in a great hurry and then disappeared without a trace. The mansion was left empty and eventually fell into the hands of Ding Ba.
Finally, we arrived at this famous palace residence. Even from afar, we could feel the former glory of the Gong family. Some people compared the Gong family to the Xue family in Dream of the Red Chamber. Pearls were as common as dirt and gold as precious as iron. Even the servants in the house wore gold and silver. It was more impressive than some well-off families. It was said that many poor families rushed to send their children to the Gong family to serve as servants!
"Wow, that's huge! Isn't the myna bird afraid to live in such a big place all by itself?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Qingqing couldn't help but shiver. The Gong residence was really too big, and there were hardly any other houses around. It was said that the Gong family bought up the entire area within a ten-mile radius because they didn't want anyone to disturb them. But Ding Ba only bought the residence, and the government took over the rest.
Pingjiang is not fully developed yet. There is nothing around the huge house, and it is too desolate. Even during the day, Ye Qingqing felt uneasy. If something happened, she would be helpless.
