Port city.
Zhou family villa.
Zhou Jingrui was wearing a neat suit, with a dignified look on his face, and he was sitting with his legs crossed on the luxurious European-style sofa in the living room.
Xiao Liuzi handed him the confidential letter he had just received and whispered, "Master, this letter...is from the mainland."
Zhou Jingrui raised his hand to take it, put the cigar between his lips, and freed his hands to open it carefully.
Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, his cold eyes scanned the paper word by word, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter, and the ashes of the burnt cigar fell between his bony fingers onto the expensive carpet, scattering like flowers.
"Nonsense! The current situation in Hong Kong City is not as simple as they imagine!"
After reading the contents of the letter, he slammed the letter on the sofa, his face as sharp as a knife and axe, showing a hint of anger.
Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but shudder!
Based on his past experience, whenever the young master gets angry like this, someone is bound to suffer!
He didn't dare to breathe, and tried his best to reduce his presence, for fear that he would be the one who would be unlucky this time.
Zhou Jingrui digested the thought for a long time, then picked up the letter again with his slender fingers. With a crisp "click", the flame of the lighter engulfed it in an instant.
Xiao Liuzi handed over the ashtray with a wink and quickly stepped aside.
In the darkness of the night, a dazzling flash of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a rumbling thunder.
There has been unusually heavy rain in Hong Kong this year.
Zhou Jingrui stood up and walked to the window, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the flower garden that had just been trimmed after being hit by the heavy rain a few days ago, and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he turned around and looked at Xiao Liuzi who was still standing there, and asked in a deep voice,
"Has anyone at home recently held a cocktail party?"
"Cocktail party?"
Xiao Liuzi scratched his head with one hand as if thinking deeply. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Come to think of it, there really is one! The Fourth Madam's film and television company is opening at the end of this month. Do you think this name will work?"
When talking about this film and television company, a soft light appeared imperceptibly on Zhou Jingrui's resolute and cold face.
When the fourth sister came back from Guangcheng, she took the initiative to find him to admit her mistake and explained all her experiences in Guangcheng in detail.
She also emphasized that she was going to cooperate with Lan Guoer to open a film and television company, and asked him to contribute his efforts and resources. She really demonstrated her fearlessness in front of him to the fullest.
And he, who always had a bad temper, indulged her!
He knew very well that there would be no future for him and that little woman in this life, but that woman had a certain ability that made him feel like a gentle spring breeze caressing his heart whenever he thought of her, softening him involuntarily. All his hostility and irritability dissipated in an instant, leaving no trace...
He took a deep drag on his cigar, tilted his head back and blew out smoke rings of varying sizes.
"Then use this as an excuse to send invitations to all the major families in Hong Kong City and all the dignitaries that the Zhou family has dealings with, inviting them to attend the meeting with their families."
He looked out the window at the night, not knowing what he was thinking, and gave a wry smile.
"By the way, spread the word that the old man's illegitimate son, who was left behind, will also be there that day. He's both talented and beautiful, handsome, and most importantly... he's unmarried!"
Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened again and again, with an expression of disbelief! "Illegitimate...illegitimate child?"
Although the old man has many concubines, he has always been a good man. He only eats at home and never messes around outside!
He grew up in the Zhou family since he was a child. In fact, he is more familiar with the old man than Zhou Jingrui, his biological son. How come he has never heard that the old man has any illegitimate children outside?
Zhou Jingrui glared at him. "Just do what I tell you to do! Why all this nonsense?!"
"Yes, yes! Liuzi understands. Liuzi will do it right away!"
Xiao Liuzi frowned and took his leave, wondering as he walked, where did this illegitimate son of the old man come from?
What is the eldest young master's attitude towards this new younger brother?
However, from what I heard about the eldest young master wanting to release this news, and especially emphasizing that the young master is still unmarried, could it be that he wants to find a partner for the young master?
...The more he thought about it, the more confused Xiao Liuzi became. He shook his increasingly muddled head and decided to stop thinking about it. He would just do whatever the young master told him to do. Why think so much? There was only less than two weeks left until the end of the month. Wouldn't everything be clear by then?
Beijing City.
Because he didn't know when he would be back after this trip, Tang Zhan stayed almost all the time with Lan Guoer these days.
"Wife, what are your plans for today? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Lan Guoer got up before sunrise today, which was rare. She was already dressed and tying her hair in front of the mirror.
When he asked, her clear eyes turned,
"Do you need to bring anything with you this time? What's the weather like over there? Do you need to prepare any clothes?"
Tang Zhan leaned against the dressing table, listening to his young wife thinking about him all the time, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't need to prepare anything this time, someone will arrange it."
Lan Guoer nodded lightly and instructed, "It doesn't matter what else you do, but you still have to take the medicine I prepared for you. And..."
Suddenly she remembered something and her eyes lit up! "How could I forget about him!"
She clapped her hands together, stood up and ran out.
"Slow down! Be careful not to fall!"
Tang Zhan was confused by what he heard and hurriedly followed behind to remind him.
Lan Guoer trotted all the way to the backyard.
Although it is autumn, the backyard is still full of flowers and greenery, exuding vitality everywhere.
Lan Guoer came to an independent courtyard.
This courtyard is located at the back of the backyard and is particularly quiet and peaceful.
At this time, the door was open, and from inside came the crisp sounds of wooden fish and the childish chanting of children.
She didn't go forward, but squatted beside the flowers and plants in the yard, looking at the scenery in the yard, and casually playing with a blooming hibiscus flower in her hand.
Tang Zhan watched her enter the yard, then stopped following her and turned to go to Old Man Tang's vegetable garden.
Lan Guoer didn't have to wait long before the sound of the wooden fish in the room suddenly stopped.
"Come in!"
A childish and steady voice came from inside.
Lan Guoer stood up, rubbed her sore calves, turned around and walked into the room.
The room is decorated in a very elegant and simple style.
A Chan table, four cushions, and a set of elegant and simple blue and white tea set.
Xiao Buku (Abbot Wuxin) sat cross-legged across from the Chan table, holding a rosary and looking directly at her. Their eyes met, and he seemed to have guessed her intentions. He spoke softly,
"Didn't Crazy Yuan tell you not to try to change the cause and effect of this world?"
Lan Guoer ignored his question, sat down casually opposite him, and poured herself a cup of tea.
