"Then why does he respect you so much? Because you delivered gifts with him?" Nanqiao asked. It can't be because they get along well, right?
"Of course not. I wanted to help him at that time, but I had just joined Chaoyang and didn't have much ability. I could only send food and other things to his family on weekdays. I would accept the money when I couldn't refuse. His mother was illiterate, so I wrote letters to Huataihe for her during that time. We became familiar with each other over time. He knew that I was taking care of his mother during that time, so he was very grateful to me. Later, when his mother passed away, I helped with the funeral affairs. It was only after that that he treated me like this."
"Those hooligans didn't cause trouble again, did they?" The requirements for women in that era were terribly high. Even in later generations...whether they succeeded or not, it was still women who bore the stigma. What's more, in the village, any little disturbance could become a topic of conversation.
"I haven't been there again. After the two hooligans were beaten to death by Hua Taihe, people from higher authorities came to discipline her because she was a military widow. The villagers were worried that it would damage the reputation of the village, so after a warning, they all behaved themselves a little. At least nothing happened in the months before her death."
"As for what you said is different, it's probably because they have killed people. Although the other brothers also acted ruthlessly in those years, they only did it to protect themselves and would not easily kill people. Compared with Huataihe, the nature of their actions is also different."
"Oh, he's a poor man. If it had been dealt with earlier, this wouldn't have happened. But doesn't his family have many relatives in the village? Why do you have to take care of his funeral?" Nanqiao sighed faintly to express his regret, but he also knew that ordinary people had no connections. If they went to complain about something that hadn't happened, nine out of ten times they would not be able to attract the attention of the people above, not to mention that Hua Taihe was still a child at that time. I'm afraid that even if you talk your mouth off, the people above may not hear the news.
"His grandparents came here to escape the war, and they have no other relatives. His father is an only child. When his grandparents learned that his father had died, they cried so hard that they were heartbroken and soon followed him. As for his mother... she was an orphan, and other family girls looked down on the Hua family because they had no background... That's what brought them together."
"Oh, how pitiful. Be nicer to him in the future, find him a beautiful wife, and give him a big red envelope." There were many poor people in the country in the early years of history. Nanqiao was not a saint and could not spread his love everywhere, but he still treated the people around him very well.
"Don't worry, Chaoyang's treatment is very good. On the other hand, I also want to train him. In the future, there will be more and more industries. I want to find a field that he is good at and let him take over."
At this point, Sheng Yan paused for a moment. He finally remembered what he was going to say before... but he was interrupted by Nanqiao, and he didn't know where he was going...
"No, I didn't mention Huataihe to you because of this." Sheng Yanchuan smiled helplessly and hugged Nanqiao into his arms, and continued, "I wanted to ask you what your impression of him is. If he's good, I want to transfer him to your side to protect you. I don't want this to happen again in the future."
"Don't!" Nanqiao turned over and faced Sheng Yanchuan, not approving of his decision.
"Aren't you still thinking about training him to take on a job? Isn't it a waste for him to stay by my side to protect me?"
"How can this be a waste? You are also important." Sheng Yanchuan pinched the soft flesh on Nanqiao's waist and hugged her tighter to show his importance.
"Really? If you're worried, you can find some people with good martial arts skills from Chaoyang. It's a waste to use the people you have." Nanqiao didn't mean to let Hua Taihe come to her side at all. It's not that she didn't value Hua Taihe, but that she valued him too much. It's not easy to admire Sheng Yanchuan like this and have the ability to get what's important to Sheng Yanchuan. It's a waste to have him be her bodyguard.
"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow and choose it myself, and I'll also find a driver for you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Nanqiao knew that only in this way could Sheng Yanchuan feel at ease, so he agreed. In the future, as the industry grows bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that he will reap the fruits of others' labor. Having a bodyguard can also avoid many dangers.
"It's not hard, as long as you are safe." Sheng Yanchuan rubbed against Nanqiao's arms. God knows how scared he was when he received the call about what happened today.
"It's okay. At worst, there's still the space. Being treated as an alien is better than being dead. If I can't stay in China, I can go abroad. There must be a place for me in this world." Nan Qiao lay in Sheng Yanchuan's arms to comfort him, but in fact she knew that once the matter of the space was exposed, she might really have no place to stand in this world.
“Those that don’t work”
After Sheng Yanchuan finished speaking, he separated from Nanqiao a little and stared at Nanqiao.
"Qiaoqiao, you have to promise me that if, I mean if, something like this happens again, you must protect yourself first. As for those who discovered the space, you must get them into the space first. That is your world. Control them and bring them back to me. Leave the rest to me." Sheng Yanchuan didn't care about the lives of those people, and he didn't care whether his hands were stained with lives. He just wanted Nanqiao to be safe.
"Don't worry, I will protect myself. We all have to be safe. I still have to take care of Xiaoran and Xiaoche's children in the future." Nanqiao knew what he was afraid of and comforted him carefully. As for Sheng Yanchuan's words about handing the person over to him, Nanqiao did not respond. He didn't want her to see those dirty things, and she naturally didn't want him to dirty his hands.
"Okay, we are all safe."
"Go to sleep, it's getting late." Nanqiao nestled in Sheng Yanchuan's arms and fell into a sweet dream in her lover's arms.
Zhaoyuan in the suburbs of Shanghai is completely different from the warmth and tenderness of Sheng Yanchuan's home.
Zhaoyuan is Sheng Yanchuan's base in Shanghai, and it is Chaoyang's real base camp. Some difficult matters are handled by people here, and Huataihe is secretly the person in charge here, the first person to make decisions besides Sheng Yanchuan. Huataihe works in Chaoyang on the surface, but secretly manages Zhaoyuan for Sheng Yanchuan all these years. Dongzi knows the existence of Zhaoyuan and Huataihe, but they are not in the same system. Although they have a good relationship, Dongzi has no say in Zhaoyuan.
