Chapter 93 Meeting Nie Zhengyun
Lou Yansui entered the theater and saw Mao Mao, who had gotten her wish, with her cheeks puffed out as she held a paper bag of food.
He walked to his sister's side, let out a weary sigh, and then silently glared at his third brother beside him.
Lou Hongjian cried out in protest: "Ah Sui, didn't you hear what she said? I haven't been to Night Paris for a long time. During this time, I've been behaving myself and staying at home."
Lou Yansui: "Wasn't it you who went before?"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
That's simply irrefutable!
What's wrong with him going to Paris to listen to music? It's neither illegal nor criminal; it just means he'll have more friends, including some singers and dancers.
The wives followed behind, and the second wife covered her mouth and joked, "The third young master is so famous that he can run into acquaintances even when he comes out to watch a play."
Third concubine: "I heard it, is it a Parisian singer from Nightfall?"
Xia Xiaoxiang: "Is it that Night Paris? At night, the lights are as bright as day. I heard that some rich kids can spend thousands of dollars a night."
Old Madam Lou snorted coldly: "This is outrageous!"
Lou Hongjian broke out in a cold sweat and forced a dry laugh, saying, "Grandma, it's not what you think."
Lou San Shao is notorious in Haicheng for his womanizing and romantic nature. He is young, handsome, rich, and single, with many suitors.
However, no matter how many suitors he had outside, he would never dare to seduce his family. Especially since there was a three-year-old little sister nearby.
The first wife smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, let's find a seat first."
Lou Yansui's leg is not fully healed yet, so she can't stand for too long.
This short walk from getting off the bus to entering the theater exhausted most of his strength.
The theater wasn't crowded today, but the audience was packed in the back rows, while the good seats in the front were empty, with several rows left vacant. Only one person, dressed in a long black robe, sat in the best viewing spot in the middle of the first row, leisurely drinking tea, with several burly men standing behind him.
If there's a good spot, of course I'll sit in it.
As Lou Yansui walked over, he said to his younger sister, "Maomao, you sit with me later, don't sit with your third brother."
Lou Hongjian retorted, "Why?!"
Mao Mao tilted her little head up: "Huh?"
Lou Yansui: "I'm afraid that if you stay with Third Brother for too long, your eyes and ears will get damaged."
Lou Hongjian: "Hey, Ah Sui!"
Lou Yansui: "Third Brother, you have too many unwanted romantic advances."
Lou Hongjian knew he was in the wrong and muttered, "She and I are just friends, we were just listening to music..."
Mao Mao: "What flowers?"
The guests in the first row turned their heads when they heard the brother talking.
He was dressed in an old-fashioned black robe and wore a black top hat, looking refined and approachable.
They were acquaintances.
“Miss Lou.” Nie Zhengyun looked slightly surprised, but quickly smiled as her eyes crinkled. “What a coincidence to run into you here.”
The Lou brothers suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Hearing the greeting, Mao Mao turned her little head in confusion and saw Nie Zhengyun.
She exclaimed in surprise, then greeted him happily, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Nie Zhengyun smiled and said, "I'm here to watch the show, just like you."
No wonder these rows of seats are empty.
With the Green Gang leader sitting here, and just seeing his few men in short-sleeved shirts behind him, no ordinary person would dare to approach him casually.
But Mao Mao dared not, and she even struck up a conversation with Nie Zhengyun in a particularly enthusiastic manner: "Uncle, is your injury healed? Does it still hurt?"
"Thanks to Miss Lou, you've fully recovered." Nie Zhengyun stared at her fair and adorable round face and suddenly smiled, "It's been so many days since I last saw you, Miss Lou, you're even more adorable now."
Mao Mao was delighted by the praise, pursing her lips and smiling with two sweet dimples appearing on her cheeks.
The Lou brothers: "..."
As if only then noticing the group of people behind her, Nie Zhengyun stood up, took off her top hat, and nodded slightly to the First Madam and the others: "Madam Lou."
“Mr. Nie.” The first wife nodded politely. “I brought my family to see the play. What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to run into Mr. Nie.”
“There’s an empty seat here, Mrs. Lou, please make yourselves at home.” Nie Zhengyun lowered his eyes again, looking at the short girl in front of him, and gestured to Mao Mao in a gentlemanly manner: “Miss Lou, please have a seat.”
"Thank you, Uncle."
Mao Mao happily ran over, but before she could even take a step, her third brother pulled her back by the back of her collar.
"Huh?" She tilted her head back in confusion: "Brother?"
Lou Hongjian said with a straight face, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Nie. We can sit over there."
Mao Mao looked confused and was quickly led to the side by her brother, several seats away from Nie Zhengyun.
Lou Hongjian and Lou Yansui sandwiched her in the middle, and even when she turned her head, her brother blocked her view, preventing her from seeing the kind uncle over there.
Nie Zhengyun smiled but said nothing, returning to his seat. He simply instructed his men to find a waiter and serve them the best tea and snacks.
Lou Hongjian lowered his voice and whispered in his younger sister's ear, "Mao Mao, when did you become so familiar with him?"
"Uncle is in the hospital, so I'll play with him," Mao Mao said happily, swinging her little feet. "Then we'll become friends."
"...Don't hang out with him anymore."
Why?
"He's too dangerous."
“But Uncle is so pitiful.” Mao Mao clenched her little hands, her face troubled: “No one plays with him.”
"..."
Everyone stared intently at the little girl's chubby face.
Pitiful? !
Who? Who is pitiful?
That Nie Zhengyun from the Green Gang?
It's like a tiny, unsteady puppy, whimpering, telling people that the big bad wolf in the deep mountains is a pitiful little thing.
I'm not even enough to fill someone else's teeth!
Lou Yansui wanted to persuade her sister, but the lead actor on the stage started the performance with a loud and clear singing voice, which attracted all of Mao Mao's attention.
He had no choice but to suppress his thoughts, thinking: I'll write a few more short stories about Maomao and the cat later to tell Maomao how dangerous it is outside.
The show was about to begin, and everyone was watching intently.
After the play ended, the theater erupted in continuous applause.
Mao Mao's little hands were red from clapping, and her bottom was glued to the chair; she was reluctant to leave. She stared longingly at the empty stage, wanting to see the performance again.
Lou Hongjian coaxed her, "Then I'll go buy tickets for the next show?"
As the audience members gradually left the theater, Nie Zhengyun stood up, walked to them, and looked at Mao Mao, who was clinging to the armrest of her chair and acting coquettishly.
Lou Hongjian immediately became alert and stepped in front of his sister: "Mr. Nie, what do you want?"
Nie Zhengyun smiled good-naturedly and said, "I just want to say a few words to Miss Lou."
He looked at the little girl on the seat and asked gently, "Miss Lou, when will you play the harmonica for me?"
Mao Mao was stunned.
Lou Yansui was also wary: "What harmonica?"
Nie Zhengyun explained, "I heard Miss Lou playing the piano in the hospital before, and I longed to play it, but I never heard her play the whole thing. She said she would play it for me next time when she had the chance."
Everyone: "..."
Mao Mao's harmonica?
Is it something you yearn for?
This Mr. Nie not only kills without blinking an eye, but also lies without batting an eye.
Nie Zhengyun looked at the adorable young girl in front of him and said gently, "Miss Lou, you haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?"
