Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?
Chapter 228 Arriving at the Shadow World
Cao Yue was flipping through the old newspapers that Lou's mother had found in the living room. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, as if he had seen some unbelievable news.
"A large-scale fight broke out between the two major gangs, Tung Sing and Hung Hing, in Causeway Bay, leaving nine dead and twenty injured!"
"Exposed! Police star Chan Ka-kui transforms into a fierce detective and bravely jumps off a 10-meter cliff to catch a drug dealer!"
"God of Gamblers Gao Jin sweeps through all the casinos!"
……
Cao Yue was stunned. Has he come to the Hong Kong movie world?
"Hi~"
Cao Yue took a deep breath. He had originally planned to earn money honestly, but now he was in such a chaotic environment, how could he be a good person?
"System, you made me lose an opportunity to be a good person!" Cao Yue burst into tears.
"Hey, Uncle Cao, are you feeling ashamed of yourself after reading the novel in the newspaper?"
At some point, Lou Mingyuan quietly came over again and mocked Cao Yue in a sarcastic tone.
"I've told you before, not everyone can write a novel. It's easier said than done. You'd better give it a try."
Cao Yue looked shocked when he read the newspaper, which caused Lou Mingyuan to misunderstand.
"Boy, you are very arrogant. Do you know what happened to the last person who was arrogant in front of me now?" Cao Yue said expressionlessly.
Lou Mingyuan was young after all, so he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"The grass on the grave has turned green ten times!" Cao Yue said coldly.
"You dare to curse me? I'm going to tell my grandma." Lou Mingyuan was angry and pretended to go upstairs to complain.
How dare this mainland idiot play tricks on him!
"Go ahead, you little brat who will never grow up. Come on, cry and call your grandma to come and take care of it for you."
Cao Yue knew how to deal with this rebellious teenager.
really.
Hearing Cao Yue say this, Lou Mingyuan stopped and glared at him, "I'm telling you, you're in big trouble. Just wait."
At this time, Lou's mother came downstairs and Lou Mingyuan quickly slipped away.
"Xiao Yue, how do you think it is?" Lou's mother asked with concern.
Cao Yue smiled confidently and said, "Auntie, there is great potential in the novel market. I already have an idea in mind and will start writing today."
"That's good, that's good. I'll have someone prepare paper and pen for you. If you need anything, just tell the servants at home. I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing that Cao Yue was so confident, Lou's mother naturally supported him with all her strength.
Next, Cao Yue took paper and pen and began to write. He copied very quickly, his pen moving as fast as lightning. He wrote more than 6,000 words in an hour, which was even faster than typing in later generations.
And Cao Yue didn't feel tired at all.
Lou Mingyuan went downstairs again, looked at Cao Yue who was concentrating on writing, and snorted coldly.
"Crack...crack...crack..."
There was a noise coming from the side, and Cao Yue looked up and saw that it turned out to be Lou Mingyuan throwing darts.
Cao Yue looked at his watch. He had been writing for more than two hours. He thought of going to see if Lou Xiao'e had woken up.
"Hey, do you know how to play darts?" Lou Mingyuan called out to Cao Yue who was about to go upstairs.
"Little brat, I'm not going to say hello." Cao Yue glared at the naughty child and really wanted to beat him up.
"OK, Ancel Cao." Lou Mingyuan shrugged. "Have you ever played darts?"
“Never played it before.” Cao Yue walked over and took a look at the darts thrown by Lou Mingyuan. All of them were very close to the bull’s eye. This kid is quite skilled.
"How about it, isn't it awesome?" Lou Mingyuan said proudly.
Cao Yue hit back: "Have you read Ouyang Xiu's "The Oil Seller"? 'Nothing special, only my hands have lost.'"
"You have actually read "The Oil Seller"? " Lou Mingyuan showed an extremely shocked expression.
This naughty kid!
Cao Yue's hands were itching again.
"Hey, I'm just kidding you." Lou Mingyuan said with a smile, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
"How do we compete?" Cao Yue asked.
"We each take a dart, and whoever hits the bull's eye wins."
At this point, Lou Mingyuan's eyes showed a cunning look, and he continued: "But the competition can't be without a prize."
"How big is the stakes?"
Cao Yue knew that this boy had bad intentions, so this was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Lou Mingyuan looked at Cao Yue and asked tentatively, "One hundred dollars per round?"
Cao Yue showed disdain on his face when he heard this, and mocked: "You are the eldest son of the Lou family, how can you afford a hundred yuan? At least a thousand yuan. I won't play with anything smaller than that."
"Do you have that much money?" Lou Mingyuan looked at Cao Yue suspiciously.
Cao Yue directly took out a small stack of thousand-yuan bills from his pocket.
Lou Mingyuan's eyes suddenly became hot, and then a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He guessed that this must be the money that his aunt gave to Cao Yue.
"Girl living off the man, gigolo..." Lou Mingyuan has already labeled Cao Yue.
He wants to win all the money.
Lou Mingyuan ran upstairs and came back with three thousand yuan.
"Let me make it clear first that I am willing to accept the loss and you are not allowed to tell anyone else in the family," Lou Mingyuan reminded.
Cao Yue nodded in agreement and signaled Lou Mingyuan to throw first.
Lou Mingyuan didn't hesitate. He stood three meters away and threw the dart at the dart board.
"Bang!" The dart hit the edge of the bull's eye.
Lou Mingyuan turned his head and looked at Cao Yue proudly.
"Snapped!"
Cao Yue threw his dart and hit the bull's eye.
"This……"
Lou Mingyuan had a dull expression on his face, and with his right hand he stiffly pulled out a thousand-yuan bill and handed it to Cao Yue.
"Oh, I'm so lucky." Cao Yue seemed to be also very 'surprised', but of course he was not slow in collecting the money.
"Have you ever played darts?" Lou Mingyuan backed off mentally.
Cao Yue shook his head: "I can't even get enough to eat at home, so how can I have the mood to play darts?"
Lou Mingyuan and Cao Yue looked at each other and saw sincerity in each other's eyes.
"Maybe it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!" Lou Mingyuan said secretly.
He decided to play one more round and see.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
This time Cao Yue lost, as the dart hit the edge of the dart board.
Lou Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and was extremely excited when he saw Cao Yue returning the money with great pain.
Next.
As Cao Yue deliberately took precautions, Lou Mingyuan had wins and losses, and even won more than he lost.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Cao Yue began to exert his strength.
Lou Mingyuan quickly lost his three thousand yuan capital and ran upstairs to get money.
After half an hour.
Lou Mingyuan's eyes were dull and his gaze was lifeless. He had lost all the money he had saved.
"Mingyuan, you are such a kind child. You knew that I just came from the mainland and was short of money, so you deliberately lost to me. Uncle Cao accepts your filial piety and will definitely spend the money well."
Lou Mingyuan looked at Cao Yue in a daze.
This person is so hateful!
Not only pretending to be a pig but also eating the tiger!
Not only will I win the money, I will also destroy his heart!
Cao Yue shook a thick stack of banknotes and went upstairs briskly.
……
At noon, Lou Zhenhua returned to the villa with his old friend Ma Jingzhou.
Ma Jingzhou was very happy to see Cao Yue. He thanked him again and again for his reminder and gave him a precious gift, which made Cao Yue a little embarrassed.
After all, he originally wanted to save the Lou family, and the Ma family was just a by-product.
During this period, Lou's mother mentioned that Cao Yue was writing a novel. It happened that Ma Jingzhou's son owned a newspaper and could help publish it.
Cao Yue handed over the manuscript of tens of thousands of words he had written to Ma Jingzhou.
In the afternoon, before leaving, Ma Jingzhou repeatedly invited Cao Yue to visit his home.
Cao Yue couldn't refuse the kind offer, so he agreed.
After Mr. Ma Jingzhou left, Lou's mother smiled and said, "Old Ma is a kind-hearted person and generous. You must repay the favors you owe to others, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."
Cao Yue nodded, this old man is indeed a good man.
Back in the bedroom, Lou Xiao'e heard the door open, sat up lazily, and reached out for Cao Yue to hug her.
"Awake." Cao Yue put down the gift box and hugged Lou Xiao'e's plump and round body.
"Where did it come from?" Lou Xiao'e looked at the gift box.
Cao Yue said: "Mr. Ma gave it to me."
As he said this, he let go of Lou Xiao'e and opened the outer packaging, revealing an 18k gold Rolex watch inside.
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I was planning to give you a watch. Since Uncle Ma has given it to you, I'll give you something else when we go out later."
Cao Yue smiled and said, "It's getting dark, let's go out tomorrow."
"Ah? It's dark?"
Lou Xiao'e covered her face shyly. She was going to be laughed at by her family.
