Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Jealous of Everyone Equally
In Hillside Villa No. 5, the servants were busy preparing dinner.
Ah Mei cleaned the living room and went out to see the eldest master and Miss Lin coming back.
But Miss Lin seemed a little different from at noon.
After looking left and right, Amei finally discovered something was wrong!
The goose yellow silk scarf around Miss Lin's neck was gone, and instead, the collar of her light brown windbreaker was turned up high, covering her neck tightly.
It's just the beginning of autumn, and Mei looked up at the relatively pleasant weather. Is Miss Lin so cold?
The next day, Ah Mei saw that Miss Lin had tied the silk scarf around her neck again, but it was not the goose yellow one, but a light green one, which still looked so beautiful when tied around Miss Lin's neck.
I heard that this was picked by the eldest young master himself.
Even early in the morning, it was the eldest young master who tied it for Miss Lin himself.
But Miss Lin seemed unhappy and kept complaining about the young master in a low voice, which made Ah Mei, who was wiping the furniture nearby, tremble with fear.
"How dare you buy a scarf...it's all your fault..."
"The scarf you tied doesn't look good, I'll do it myself..."
Who would dare to despise the young master like that? Ah Mei lowered her head and dared not even breathe.
However, Yu Guangzhong's eldest son curled his lips and whispered to Miss Lin: "I'll go and learn it."
Ah Mei: (⊙o⊙)
——
Lin Keying wore her scarf for a week before taking it off.
At the end of this week, Tang Qiankun, a scout from Hongsheng Entertainment, came to visit and hand in his homework.
"Ms. Lin, thank you for helping me that day." Tang Qiankun copied the lyrics of "Under the Lion Rock" 1,000 times, and his hands were almost broken, but it was better to copy them to pieces than to break them. "I pointed a gun at you last time. I was a piece of shit."
As he was speaking, there was a slap in the face, very crisp.
Lin Keying quickly glanced at the lyrics Tang Qiankun had copied, which were densely packed on many pages, and then looked at the slap marks on his face...
"Mr. Tang, it is indeed rude to point a gun at someone. I hope you can be alert."
Lin Keying smiled at him. She was as beautiful as jade. As a talent scout, Tang Qiankun was dazzled, but he still did not give up: "Ms. Lin, are you really not considering entering the entertainment industry to act in movies? With your looks, you will definitely become famous!"
As a talent scout, his professional qualities make him unable to walk when he sees a handsome man or beautiful woman, and he starts planning how to make that person famous at first sight.
"Mr. Tang, I have no interest in the entertainment industry or filming." Lin Keying put away her easygoing attitude and changed her expression in an instant. She pretended to be very vigilant and asked, "Does your company often force movie stars to film movies they don't want to film?"
"That's definitely not the case!" Tang Qiankun was full of confidence. "Which of the movie stars we signed didn't want to be famous and make money? Is there any need to force them? Don't get me wrong. I insisted on you signing the contract that day because I thought you two were good seedlings. The movie stars under my name were not doing well and were not popular, so I was anxious for a while."
Lin Keying was not clear about Tingting's specific experience in the book, nor did she know whether Hongsheng Company relied on its underworld background to force its stars to make films.
"I hope so." Lin Keying glanced at him, "Remember that you owe me an arm. If I hear of such a thing in the future, I will take this arm back."
It was the first time she made harsh words and it involved fighting and killing. Lin Keying behaved well. After all, she had the support of such a rampant man like her fiancé, so she spoke with confidence.
Tang Qiankun waved his hands repeatedly: "Ms. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely not let you take my arm back."
——
After knocking on the door of the scout, Lin Keying took a walk along Fuhua Street and inspected the five shops under her name.
This street is all the godfather’s property, worth hundreds of millions.
Her godparents were very generous and gave her five shops as a gift. Now she could save even the rent for the dessert shop. Every month, Lin Keying could earn an extra 10,000 yuan in rent.
With the two 500-square-foot houses that she rents out and the revenue from the dessert shop, Lin Keying now earns 25,000 yuan a month without doing anything.
With her wealth gradually increasing and more and more properties under her name, she could make money even as a layperson. Lin Keying never thought that her previous dream would come true after traveling through time.
Since she had acknowledged him as her godfather, Lin Keying went to the Guo family more frequently. It was also at this time that she found out that her godparents had many properties and often lived in a random house for a while. They had only recently moved to Deep Water Bay, a simple villa that was not even in their name, in order to seek some quiet time.
Deep Water Bay Villas is the most secluded villa complex in Hong Kong. Surrounded by mountains and close to the sea, it enjoys a pleasant view of Nanshan Sea.
After receiving five shops from her godfather and godmother, Lin Keying naturally had to reciprocate to show her filial piety.
She worked all afternoon in her villa halfway up the mountain, preparing a plate of chestnut cakes and crab meat dumplings, which she packed and prepared to send to the two elderly people with poor appetites.
After freezing the chestnut cake in the refrigerator, cut it into small cubes. The cooled chestnut cake becomes crystal clear, and you can vaguely see the raisins and roses dotted in it.
The crab meat dumplings are round and plump, with the thin and tough dough revealing the bright colors of pork and crab roe fillings, and golden color reflected in the pure white. The bun skin is wrinkled like petals, with a small opening at the top, dotted with golden crab roe.
Mrs. Hua saw that Miss Lin was very skillful, especially some dishes that she was familiar with: "I remember that when my wife was alive, she also loved to make these dishes. I also learned a few tricks from her, but after all, I am not from the mainland, so I can't make them taste the same."
Lin Keying was curious: "Is she the eldest young master's mother?"
"That's right." Mrs. Hua's face showed a hint of sadness when she talked about her wife. "The eldest young master liked to eat the crab meat dumplings made by his wife the most, but after his wife passed away, the eldest young master stopped eating them. Miss Lin, you are thoughtful and still think about the eldest young master."
Lin Keying was about to say something but stopped herself. Before she could explain, Mrs. Hua looked very touched and called Uncle Zhong who was passing by the kitchen: "Uncle Zhong, Miss Lin specially made crab meat dumplings and chestnut cakes for the young master. They are his favorites! Miss Lin is really thoughtful."
Uncle Zhong was also touched: "Miss Lin has deep feelings for the young master, and she is thoughtful."
Lin Keying: "..."
You don't have to be so self-taught!
She had no idea that the young master actually loved to eat snacks from his hometown. It was really because the young master didn't like to mention his family, and he didn't care much about food.
Finally, unable to bear to ruin this touching moment, Lin Keying took out one-third of each of the takeaway boxes for her godfather and godmother and left them for the eldest young master.
——
When Lin Keying went to Deep Water Bay for the first time, she was also shocked by the scenery there. She is going to compete with you rich people!
White European-style buildings are sparsely dotted among the lush green mountains and forests. The villas stand alone, far apart, with their backs against the mountains and forests and facing the sea, providing excellent privacy.
"Godfather, Godmother, I brought you some food, it's the specialty of my hometown, you can try it."
When Lin Keying just graduated from university, her salary was low, so she cooked for herself to save money. As a result, she developed good cooking skills.
Zhao Fengzhen had eaten mainland Chinese food in restaurants before, but it was naturally not as authentic as Lin Keying's.
The chestnut cake is crystal clear, has an excellent appearance, is cool and smooth in the mouth, has a refreshing taste, and tastes soft, sweet and fragrant. It is indeed very appetizing.
Zhao Fengzhen ate several pieces in a row, which made Guo Changda smile: "Keying's cooking skills are amazing. She coaxed your godmother to eat more."
Guo Changda was worried that his wife had a poor appetite and would suffer from health problems in the future. His biggest hobby every day was to search for delicious food to feed his wife, but the effect was slow.
After eating a few pieces of pastries, Zhao Fengzhen's appetite was whetted. He took another bite of the petite crab meat steamed bun. The rich soup instantly rushed into his mouth. The aroma of crab meat and pork wafted around, filling his mouth with fragrance without being greasy or lacking.
The couple had no children and had always lived alone, but since they adopted a daughter, they have been able to enjoy some family happiness.
Standing on the second-floor balcony of the Deep Water Bay Villa, overlooking the calm sea, Lin Keying looked around, only to hear her godmother asking about her marriage.
"Keying, are you and the eldest son of the Cheng family secretly dating now? Does he have any intention of bringing you back to the Cheng family?" Zhao Fengzhen was really worried about the matter of the adopted daughter. After asking around, she found out that almost no one knew that the eldest son of the Cheng family had a fiancée. "Could it be that Cheng Wanting wants to play with your feelings?"
Lin Keying had long noticed that her fiancé had never mentioned his family in front of her, nor had he any intention of taking her back to the old house. It was simply that the Cheng family was not satisfied with this child bride from more than ten years ago.
She knew it very well and didn't dwell on it too much. Deep down, she knew that it was unlikely that Cheng Wanting and she would be together forever, so it might as well be considered a relationship for now.
At least he is handsome, rich and in good shape, so I'm not at a loss!
Besides, if you really want to trace the root of the problem, it wasn't that Cheng Wanting was playing with her feelings, it was clearly her, the fake child bride, who deceived him! Played with him!
Shame on you~
"Godmother, Brother Wan Ting didn't play with my feelings. We are in a free relationship and dating. Nowadays, no one is willing to get married so early." Lin Keying just wants to enjoy the present. "If he wants to take me home to meet the elders, I am not willing."
Zhao Fengzhen never expected that his adopted daughter would think this way, and was just worried that she would suffer a loss.
Lin Keying comforted her: "Brother Wan Ting is handsome, courageous, generous, and kind to me. How can I suffer a loss?"
"You are quite open-minded." Zhao Fengzhen laughed twice. "In that case, godmother will not interfere in your affairs. If he dares to bully you in the future, godfather and godmother will take care of it for you! If you get tired of him and want to dump him in the future, godmother will help you find other young talents in Hong Kong. It is a blessing for them to date more than a few."
Lin Keying had a very pleasant conversation with the old couple, and even got to know many wealthy business families through their casual pointing.
Guo Changda introduced the house on the left side of his villa: "That is Cheng Wanting's house."
Then he pointed to a building on the right and said, "That's Chen Guosheng's house, a well-known clothing tycoon in Hong Kong."
Zhao Fengzhen continued, "Cheng Wanting's mother's younger sister married the second son of the Chen family. According to the relationship, the eldest grandson of the Chen family has to call Cheng Wanting his cousin."
Lin Keying naturally had no idea about these relationships. She had never expected that the wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong were so closely connected and intertwined.
Guo Changda snorted and laughed: "That boy is a playboy, spending his days in debauchery. He is far worse than his cousin. By the way, what is the name of the eldest grandson of the Chen family?"
Zhao Fengzhen tried hard to recall. After all, she had little contact with the Chen family, so her memory was vague: "Chen...Song...or Chen...Song..."
After a pause, the elderly Zhao Fengzhen failed to recall: "Forget it, I can't remember it."
Lin Keying had dinner in Deep Water Bay before leaving. Before leaving, her godfather asked her to make time next Wednesday: "Come with us to go somewhere then."
Lin Keying agreed readily.
After arranging a car to send Lin Keying away, the couple turned around and ran into Chen Huagao, the eldest son of the Chen family who was out.
Chen Huagao greeted the two of them. Thinking of the upcoming major event in Hong Kong, he was curious: "Uncle Da, I heard that you declined the invitation to the land auction next Wednesday?"
Guo Changda had originally refused to attend, but now that he had a adopted daughter, things were different: "I, an old man, will go and join in the fun, are you interested?"
The largest land auction in Hong Kong this year will be held next Wednesday. There is so much uncultivated land that the total value of the land to be auctioned exceeds billions. Almost all the wealthy businessmen will attend.
"We are just joining in the fun." The Chen family is not high or low on Hong Kong's rich list, so it would be too difficult for them to actually buy land.
"Will you go or will your father go?"
"The old man is ill and is recuperating. This time I am going with Songxian to give him some experience."
"Young man, it's time to gain experience." This is exactly what Guo Changda meant.
——
When Lin Keying returned to her villa in the hillside from Deep Water Bay, she happened to see a Bentley driving in. Cheng Wanting got out of the car and his eyes fell gently on her face: "You went to Mr. Guo's house, and stayed there for so long?"
Lin Keying walked forward and walked side by side with her fiancé: "My godfather and godmother asked me to stay for dinner, there is nothing I can do~ Young Master, have you eaten before?"
"I ate a little." Cheng Wanting has never been interested in eating and drinking.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Cheng Wanting checked Lin Keying's Cantonese learning progress, which was much better than when she first came to Hong Kong.
When the inspection was over, Cheng Wanting remembered Lin Keying's love for the house and immediately changed the subject: "There will be an auction next Wednesday. You can go with me."
Next Wednesday?
Lin Keying shook her head repeatedly: "No, I already have an appointment next Wednesday. My godfather and godmother asked me to accompany them this afternoon. I don't have time to accompany you."
Cheng Wanting knew that Guo Changda had declined to attend the auction a few days ago, and guessed that the two wanted to take Lin Keying around for fun. He felt relieved but also a little worried.
A light voice sounded: "Now that you have a godfather and godmother, you don't care much about your fiancé."
Lin Keying looked at the 1.88-meter-tall man in front of her and secretly complained in her heart why he was so petty.
But her little mouth was very sweet, her almond eyes formed beautiful crescents, and she coaxed softly: "How could it be! The first person I saw when I came to Hong Kong City was you, of course you are the most important, no one can compare to you~"
While Lin Keying was coaxing her petty fiancé, Mrs. Hua was busy serving food. She was still touched, "Master, Miss Lin spent the whole afternoon making this for you. It's all your favorite food. Miss Lin is really thoughtful."
Three pieces of chestnut cakes and crab meat dumplings were delicately placed on two blue and white porcelain bowls and plates, just as Cheng Wanting remembered.
After taking a bite, the aroma filled his mouth, and Cheng Wanting gradually tasted the authentic flavor of mainland cuisine.
When he was about to taste the second piece, he stopped eating and asked, "Is this just for me, or does your godparents also have some?"
Lin Keying was stunned by the question. After a moment, she pretended to be calm and looked away. She didn't know where to look. She could only awkwardly lift her hair, which was not messy at all: "Of course, only you have it."
