Chapter 378: Closer than Uncle and Nephew
Sai Yanfei was a very busy man. After having lunch with Fan Licheng at noon, he was about to leave again.
Before leaving, he said to Fan Licheng: "I'll come and accompany you at dinner."
Fan Licheng said obediently: "Okay."
He watched Sai Yanfei leave reluctantly but did not ask her to stay.
Children who are too sensible are always like this; their rationality will make them gain something, but also lose something at the same time.
During this period of time, Fan Licheng was the only one at home. He always read books, practiced piano and painted. Sai Yanfei hired many professional teachers for him, but because today was the last day, there were no classes.
Fan Licheng looked at Gao Mingcheng and thought of the last time Gao Mingcheng bought a lot of things when he was shopping.
So he said, "Uncle Gao, do you want to go shopping?"
Gao Mingcheng had nothing else to do, so he thought that since he had come to Hong Kong, he couldn't return empty-handed, so he said, "Okay, let's go shopping and have some fun. It will probably be a year before you come back here, right?"
Fan Licheng was silent for a few seconds before he nodded softly.
The winter vacation is short, and it would be too much trouble to come to Hong Kong. Besides, his mother is very busy during the Chinese New Year, with endless banquets to attend and endless New Year greetings. He feels awkward and uncomfortable here.
When Fan Licheng and Gao Mingcheng went out shopping, they were accompanied by two bodyguards. Both of them were martial artists and had guns on their waists.
Although Hong Kong is full of gold and is much richer than the mainland, it is also very chaotic. There are wealthy families, gangs, police stations, and illegal immigrants, and all kinds of incidents happen every day.
Although Fan Licheng has lived here for more than a month, he basically took classes at home and learned as much knowledge and aristocratic etiquette as possible. In addition, Sai Yanfei would also take him to some banquets, auctions, horseback riding, etc. to broaden his horizons.
Fan Licheng knew that Gao Mingcheng liked to buy things in wholesale, so he asked the driver to take them to a nearby wholesale market. The things here were not expensive, but they were also very unique. After bringing them back to the mainland, there was no need to worry about selling them.
"Hey, you guys seem to know a lot now!" Gao Mingcheng took a look and knew the level of this market, which was indeed suitable for him.
He planned to buy some more special bracelets to take back. The last activity of giving away bracelets when selling clothes went quite well. This time they can be used as prizes to redeem points at the end of the year.
But this time, he saw the bracelet first.
There were a lot of bracelets piled on the ground, some made of agate, crystal, jade, and some made of materials he couldn't name. In short, they were colorful and of many styles.
In addition to bracelets, there are also various women's necklaces, pendants, etc. A group of women are crowded in this kind of store, selecting goods and bargaining with the boss.
Some of these Hong Kong girls are locals, while some have smuggled in, and their accents are slightly different.
Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to buy. He planned to walk around the entire market and listen to other people's bargaining. At this time, he discovered that there were gangsters collecting protection fees here.
This gang has probably controlled this market for a long time. As soon as they showed up, people doing business in the market handed over the protection money they had prepared.
Although it seemed a bit overbearing, things went smoothly and there was no trouble.
Gao Mingcheng had no intention of interfering in other people's business and calmly walked past those people. Those people seemed to look at Fan Licheng twice more. Fan Licheng's bodyguard immediately stepped forward as if facing a great enemy and stood in front of Fan Licheng.
Gao Mingcheng didn't understand what was going on, but he immediately became alert and prepared to take action at any time.
However, the leader of the gang laughed frivolously and said bluntly: "The child born by the wife of an illegitimate son is not worth doing anything about!"
"You really think highly of yourselves!"
After he finished speaking, the younger brothers behind him also laughed, with mockery on their faces.
Although his attitude was impolite, he really had no intention of doing anything to Fan Licheng, so the group of people naturally left.
After everyone left, Gao Mingcheng looked at Fan Licheng with a questioning look.
Fan Licheng's expression remained unchanged, and he did not seem to feel insulted or angry. When he noticed the inquiry in Gao Mingcheng's eyes, he simply said, "They have some conflicts with my stepfather's family."
In that case, Fan Licheng and the others should have avoided those people's territory, but today Fan Licheng brought him here.
Gao Mingcheng looked around the market and knew why Fan Licheng brought him here, because the goods in this market were abundant and cheap, making it the best place for him to purchase.
He accepted this favor!
Along the way, Gao Mingcheng perked up, observed the situation around him, and then quickly bought what he needed. He didn't buy too much, but fortunately these small things didn't take up much space.
After buying the goods, Gao Mingcheng said, "It's very hot outside, and there's nothing to see. Let's go back."
"Yeah." Fan Licheng agreed, and the group took a car back to their previous villa.
Gao Mingcheng returned to the villa again, and suddenly his mentality changed.
At first, he thought it was great that Fan Licheng had a mansion!
Now, I suddenly feel that this mansion is actually a prison where Fan Licheng is imprisoned. He seems to be free here, but he is not free.
This was mainly due to his awkward identity and the chaotic situation in Hong Kong.
But it doesn’t matter, he will be able to return to his familiar hometown soon.
There was still some time before dinner, and Fan Licheng suddenly had an idea and said, "Uncle Gao, it's a rare trip for you to Hong Kong, do you want to take some pictures? Uncle Butler, go get the camera and take some pictures for me and Uncle Gao."
"Okay, young master." The housekeeper of the house responded, quickly brought over a camera, and started taking pictures of Gao Mingcheng and Fan Licheng.
There are indoor and outdoor photos, single photos and of course group photos.
Finally, Fan Licheng invited Gao Mingcheng to have coffee, which was freshly ground by the maid. The tools used to make coffee had a kind of retro craft beauty.
"Uncle Gao, you treated me to honey, so I'll treat you to coffee!"
Gao Mingcheng was watching the coffee making process and immediately said, "You are repaying sweetness with bitterness! Why don't you add milk or sugar? Black coffee tastes so bitter! Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
Gao Mingcheng didn't believe that Fan Licheng usually drank black coffee.
Hearing his question, Fan Licheng picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Gao Mingcheng steadily.
Gao Mingcheng would never admit defeat, so he took a big sip right there, and half the cup was gone! He took another big sip, and the cup was empty!
Fan Licheng was stunned. He could only give a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Gao, you are awesome!"
Gao Mingcheng clasped his fists and said modestly: "Thank you very much!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and laughter filled this magnificent mansion.
At the door, Sai Yanfei stopped and looked thoughtful.
