good night my sir

Mingtai may like Wang Tianfeng, but Ah Cheng secretly doubts it.

Because Mingtai would never admit it to him, he was still thinking about how to find evidence.

Ah Cheng knew that this incident would be a big blow to Minglou, because he really had the heart to kill Wang Tianfeng.If the person Mingtai loves is really Wang Tianfeng, then he really loves the wrong person.

"Ah Cheng, what do you think of this? Platinum-plated engraved nib." Minglou picked up a Montblanc ink pen and asked.He was concentrating on choosing gifts carefully, but he didn't notice Ah Cheng's absent-mindedness.

Minglou seldom buys things in person, but after confessing his feelings to Ah Cheng, he began to make good use of the opportunity, and he didn't want to let go of even a little time to get along with each other.

"Just buy this." Ah Cheng said with just one glance.Because Minglou has always had a good eye, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But Minglou noticed his distraction now, and asked, "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"

Ah Cheng came back to his senses, and said nonchalantly, "No." He couldn't express his doubts about Mingtai, at least not until he proved that he liked Wang Tianfeng.Ah Cheng quickly returned to the topic of choosing a gift: "I was thinking, you gave such an expensive ink pen, it would be a bad idea for me to just give you an oil painting?"

"President Du specifically told you not to give birthday presents. My ink pen is just a formality. But you are different. Since you are present as a son, it is a unique and priceless treasure to give you an oil painting painted by yourself."

"Will Uncle Du like it?" Ah Cheng asked.He painted "William.In the classic passage in "Tell", Governor Gessler threatened William Tell's son to shoot the red apple on his son's head with an arrow, otherwise they would not be released. As a result, William Tell Of course it was a success.

"Didn't you say that he has a special liking for opera and has a lot of paintings in his house, and he seems to have a fondness for art?"

"That being said, I'm not a professional painter after all."

"You are the one who held an art exhibition in Paris. Although the scale is small, how many tricky connoisseurs are there in the gallery? What do they think?" Minglou has always been optimistic about Ah Cheng. He doesn't understand why Ah Cheng sometimes treats him I am so unconfident.

"But..." Ah Cheng still hesitated.

"With a little confidence, he will like it, trust me." Minglou said with certainty.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng nodded.

"Then I'll follow your advice, so I'll buy this pen." Minglou handed the ink pen to the waiter.The waiter took it, turned around and went to the counter to get the gift box packaging.

Minglou stared at Ah Cheng, his eyes seemed to be hinting at something.

Ah Cheng didn't understand what his elder brother meant, so he looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Pay it!"

Hearing this, Ah Cheng laughed and said, "Isn't this a gift from you to Uncle Du? Why am I paying for it?"

"Isn't there a way to get reimbursed? Just deal with it directly."

"Mr. Ming, you even want to report this kind of thing to the public account. The richer you are, the more stingy you are."

"My money is all with you. My poor little wallet can only squeeze out two meals." Minglou pretended to be innocent, and took the opportunity to lean into Ah Cheng's ear and whispered: " I heard that a man who entrusts money to his wife is a good man.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Cheng reprimanded softly, "I'm not your wife."

"Then I hand over the money to someone who is not a wife, am I a better man?"

Ah Cheng mouthed back silently: "Nonsense."

On Friday night, Du Zhongliang's [-]th birthday party was held on time at Licha Hotel.

Ming Lou and Ah Cheng were dressed in suits, and they arrived hand in hand.Ah Cheng originally thought that Du Zhongliang's birthday party should be luxurious and grand, but unexpectedly, it was similar to his first Jiangnan branch gathering. It seemed that they were all members of the gang, and he didn't see too many political and business celebrities.

As soon as Tong Guangren saw them, he greeted them warmly. Charles followed behind him and smiled at them.

"This is Mr. Charles, right? It's a pleasure to meet you." Ming Lou stretched out his hand towards him, feeling that this Englishman really resembles his figure, as Ah Cheng said.

"Mr. Ming, I have long admired you." Charles stretched out his hand to hold Minglou, his gestures were full of gentlemanly air.

When Ah Cheng saw Xiao Tong, he remembered what happened to Aunt Gui, and for a moment he didn't know how to face Xiao Tong, so he could only say hello to him awkwardly.

Knowing Ah Cheng's thoughts, Minglou took the initiative to open up other topics, trying to reduce Ah Cheng's pressure.

"Xiao Tong, Chairman Du's birthday party seems to be different from what I imagined. I thought it would be a scene full of crowns and capes." Minglou said.

"President Du has always kept a clear line between public and private. For gatherings like birthdays, in the past, only relatives, friends, and gang members were invited to attend, and outsiders were usually not invited." Tong Guangren said with a smile.

"Oh? So, we are really flattered." Minglou felt slightly surprised.

Tong Guangren didn't answer any more, just smiled slightly.

At this time, Chen Xuanyu was holding a glass of red wine, wearing a dark purple evening dress, and walking towards them gracefully stepping on high heels.

Minglou had expected to see her on this occasion, and his expression remained calm. Unexpectedly, Chen Xuanyu greeted him generously as if nothing had happened.

"It's been more than a month since we left after the Spring Wine Festival. I don't know if Mr. Ming is okay?" Chen Xuanyu asked with a smile.Perhaps because it was in public, she didn't call him Brother Lou like before.

Knowing that she secretly asked about the gunshot wound, Minglou smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine. Last time it was published in the newspaper for no reason. I hope it didn't cause trouble to Ms. Chen."

"Having exposure is a good thing for our singers. If they are not well-known, those reporters will not even be lazy to find out their personal affairs."

"That makes sense." Minglou smiled, picked up a glass of wine from the passing waiter's tray, and toasted Chen Xuanyu.

Ah Cheng looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Ruolan?"

Chen Xuanyu said with a smile, "Her belly is getting bigger and she is not suitable for public appearances. She asked me to say hello to you for her."

"So that's how it is."

After everyone chatted for a while, Ming Lou and Ah Cheng went to congratulate Du Zhongliang.

Du Zhongliang accepted Ah Cheng's oil paintings, and as Ming Lou expected, he looked at them carefully and repeatedly, and repeatedly praised Ah Cheng's bright colors and lifelike paintings, Ah Cheng was so embarrassed by the praise.

Usually Ah Cheng attends banquets with Ming Lou, always following the same pace, cautious and reticent, playing the role of a butler well.Even if asked, his identity is still "Chief Ming's secretary".

This is the first time that Minglou and Ah Cheng stay together, but Ah Cheng is more dazzling than Minglou.Instead, Ming Lou became his accessory, and when he was introduced, he became "Master Ah Cheng's eldest brother".

Minglou didn't mind this, so he laughed and accompanied Ah Cheng to socialize with other people.

In the second half of the dinner, when the guests were full, they began to dance in the center, or gathered in twos and threes with after-dinner wine to chat.

Minglou finally understood why Du Zhongliang only entertained relatives and friends, because such a birthday banquet is really warm and relaxing, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Chen Xuanyu said that her family wanted to buy a painting recently, but she didn't know how to choose a better one, so she took Ah Cheng aside, saying that she wanted to ask him, an expert, for his advice.

Ming Lou wanted to go with him, but Du Zhongliang stopped him unexpectedly.

Du Zhongliang came with two glasses of red wine in his hand, handed one to him, and said, "Mr. Ming, I don't have many chances to meet you. I have something to talk to you about today."

Minglou took the wine glass and said, "Mr. Du, please tell me."

Du Zhong smiled and walked out of the terrace without saying a word.Seeing this, Minglou also followed.

There was no one on the terrace, the cool spring breeze was blowing on the face, and the bright night view of Shanghai was unreservedly presented.

At a glance, Minglou knew that Du Zhongliang had asked Chen Xuanyu to dismiss Ah Cheng and bring him to this conversation, so he politely said, "I don't know what advice Mr. Du has? Why don't you just tell me."

"Then I won't beat around the bush." ​​Du Zhongliang cleared his throat and said, "Actually, Ah Cheng is my only son who has been separated for many years."

Hearing this, Minglou was startled, his eyebrows moved secretly, his fingers holding the red wine glass tightened, but his face remained calm.

Ah Cheng is Du Zhongliang's son?How is this possible?

"Mr. Du, what you said is right... With Minglou's bluntness, Ah Cheng was born in the nursery school, and later moved to the Ming family. His life experience is still a mystery to us, how can you judge?" Is he your son?"

"The matter of blood relationship is not a joke. The old man has verified it before he dares to make such an assertion." Du Zhongliang smiled slightly, his eyes were full of gentleness.

Minglou saw that Du Zhongliang was not like someone who told lies about such things, so he politely said: "Minglou would like to hear more about it."

"I don't know if Ah Cheng told you about the reason why my son was separated?"

"Yes, I know a thing or two."

"This is also the place where the old man first met Ah Cheng. I immediately thought he was my son, because he looked so much like his mother. Later, I found out that he was not really the young master of the Ming family. This inspired me to continue to investigate."

Du Zhongliang drank the red wine and said: "Ruolan told me that Ah Cheng said that he was abandoned by his parents in the Shanghai Nursery when he was a child. I went to inquire privately, and they all said they didn't remember who Ah Cheng was, but when I mentioned The child once wore a gold lock plate with the word "Cheng", and an old woman remembered it. He said that the gold lock plate had been sold to subsidize the expenses of the kindergarten, and the child named Ah Cheng, He was adopted by a woman named Fang Gui."

Ming Lou listened in shock, he murmured: "Fang Gui, Fang Gui is Aunt Gui..."

Minglou thought about the whole thing, and finally understood why when he saw Xiao Tong for the first time, he felt that he had ulterior motives for Ah Cheng, and why Bai Ruolan tried every means to establish a relationship with Ah Cheng.It turned out that it was all for Du Zhongliang.

Du Zhongliang took out an old yellowed photo from his pocket, he handed the photo to Minglou, and said, "This is my wife, when there was a civil strife in the youth gang, I arranged for her to bring her newborn son to Shanghai to join my brother Yue Sheng, unexpectedly lost the audio on the way. I think she must have encountered some difficulties and could not protect herself, so she had to leave our son at the gate of the nursery."

Minglou saw that the woman in the cheongsam in the photo looked so much like Ah Cheng when she smiled, and the eyes were carved out of the same mold.

Since then, Minglou has completely believed what Du Zhongliang said.

"Uncle Du, what are your plans for the future? Let Ah Cheng recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?" Minglou asked eagerly.

This news shocked him too much, because the identity of Young Master Du would bring about earth-shaking changes in their lives, and the first thing he thought of was the relationship between them.

If Ah Cheng is really Du Zhongliang's only son, then their relationship will be even more difficult. I am afraid they will be overwhelmed by a big sister. If there is another Du family, he is not sure whether Ah Cheng will be brave enough to persevere?

========= I’m a nonsense divider ===========

finally!Father Du spoke bluntly to Minglou! ! !

It's really satisfying to see Chief Ming's confused face in front of his father-in-law~

Chief Ming is so stingy that he even wants to report to the public account for giving birthday presents.

After knowing that it was his father-in-law, his face should turn green now~ 23333
