Rebellion in Shanghai

Near midnight, the telephone in Lulu's repair house suddenly rang loudly.

That night the servant came out half asleep to answer the phone, but when he heard the master's voice on the phone, he immediately woke up from shock and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, master."

At the same time, Lelouch was awakened from his sleep, suppressed his anger and came to the first floor to answer the phone, "Hello?"

"Come here now, I have something important to do." Xia Lulu ordered straightforwardly.

Subconsciously glanced at the dark night outside, a hint of impatience flashed in Lelouch's violet eyes, but his voice was still as calm as ever, "It's already early morning, what can't wait until tomorrow?"

Xia Lulu laughed on the other end of the phone, and then said in a very calm voice: "If I can wait until tomorrow, how can I be willing to let you and Xiu Ze Naier rush over late at night."

Unexpectedly, Xia Lulu not only called himself, but even called the poisonous snake. Lelouch slightly raised his eyebrows, and replied respectfully, "I'll go right away, father."

After interrupting the phone call, Lelouch didn't move. He stood there and thought about it for a while, but he still didn't have any clue, so he ordered his servants to prepare the car.No matter what is going to happen, he just needs to deal with it one by one.

Although Xia Lulu and Marianne's house was built in the most prosperous part of Shanghai, it was still deserted after midnight, only occasionally a few drunken men wandered past on the road.

Lelouch drove the car and stopped in front of the villa, and the old servant in the villa immediately stepped up and eagerly opened the car door for him.

Getting out of the car, Lelouch smiled at the old servant who greeted him, and then went straight in.

The hall was brightly lit, Xiuzanelle came a little earlier than him, and was sitting upright on a chair at this time, greeting Xia Lulu and Marianne.

The three of them saw Lelouch walking in almost at the same time, and they all showed great enthusiasm, especially Marianne.

Seeing Lelouch walking in, Marianna immediately came up to him and looked at him distressedly, "Is it cold? Mama Wu brought the young master some coffee."

While talking, Marianna pulled Lelouch to sit beside her, looking very friendly.

"Thank you mother for your concern. I'm not cold." Although he didn't like such hypocritical greetings, Lelouch still nodded to her respectfully, then took the coffee that his servant Wu Ma handed him and slowly sipped it.

The head of the family who didn't speak looked at Lelouch, then at Xiuzanel, with a very satisfied expression on his face, he turned his head and said to his wife: "Look, how much our child has grown up now! "

Mariana also smiled at Xia Lulu, and looked at Lelouch again, "Yes, the children are all very good and outstanding, I am also very pleased."

Xia Lulu seemed to agree with his wife's words very much, the smile on his face expanded a lot, his eyes looked back and forth between Lelouch and Xiuzanelle, and seemed to want to say something, but suddenly coughed.

"Master!" Marianna whispered nervously and surprised, then threw herself to Xia Lulu's side and patted his back lightly, with a worried and anxious look on her face.

It took a while for Xia Lulu to get better, but his face became much paler. While smiling wryly, he said to his wife: "The children have grown up, but we are old."

Hearing this, Lelouch and Xiu Zenier subconsciously glanced at each other, and then stood up together to express their relief.

"Father is worrying too much, and my father is not old."

"If the father said this, wouldn't it make the son feel ashamed."

Listening to the words of the two adopted sons, Xia Lulu and Marianna looked at each other again, and finally Xia Lulu waved his hand and motioned them to sit down, and chatted with them about many trivial things, most of which were from their childhood. things.

Listening to Xia Lulu and Marianne's constant gossip, Lelouch, who has always been patient, couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Looking at Xiuzanelle beside him, he also had the same meaning, but neither of them would agree. Just interrupt.

Mariana seemed to see their impatience, and lightly pushed Xia Lulu's arm, "Master, you're going too far."

"That's right!" Xia Lulu seemed to suddenly realize it, looked at the two sons apologetically, and finally got to the point.

"I let the two of you come over so late, of course it's not just for gossip." Xia Lulu took a sip of the strong tea at hand, and looked at the two of them separately, "Your father is old after all. I can no longer do many things by myself. And you two are the two children that my mother and I value most, so I naturally want you to inherit me."

Hearing this, both Lelouch and Xiuzanelle were taken aback, but they both showed uneasy and anxious expressions on their faces, eager to interrupt Xia Lulu.

"You don't have to say nice words to coax me." Xia Lulu interrupted them before they could speak, and then continued, "And you just saw that my health is not very good now. , so after discussing with your mother, I want to choose one of you as my successor. But I haven't made a final decision on whether it is Xiu Zenelle or Lelouch, and you are both excellent " After finishing speaking, Xia Lulu picked up the cup and sipped his tea silently, and stopped talking.

Mariana glanced at her husband very tenderly, and then took his words and continued: "This is what the master and I mean, and you don't have to worry, life, old age, sickness and death are very normal, and everyone will have such a day .The reason why I called you here so late today is to let you have a general understanding of what your father and I are thinking, so that you can make preparations in advance. There is nothing else to do, so go back."

Now that Marianne had issued an expulsion order, Xiuzanelle and Lelouch naturally couldn't force them to stay, so they stood up and said some thoughtful words before leaving.

Watching the two leave separately, Marianna just smiled, then turned around and returned to Xia Lulu, and thoughtfully said: "Since the master has finished his work, why don't you drink a little wine and sleep peacefully for a while."

Xia Lulu was sitting on a chair thinking about something with a smile on her face, she nodded slightly after hearing what Mariana said, "Alright."

"Wait a minute, master. I'll go get the wine, and then I'll have a few drinks with the master." Marianne smiled lightly, then turned to the kitchen and ordered some simple dishes to be prepared, and took a small jar of wine herself. and two cups back.

Mariana personally poured wine for Xia Lulu and placed it in front of him. Seeing that he seemed to be still thinking, she comforted him, "Master has already escaped, so why bother thinking about their affairs."

"I just want to make sure who is looking into that matter." Shalulu shook his head, then took a drink from his glass, and looked at Marianna with a smile, "Sure enough, Madam knows my heart best, knows When should I get what wine?"

"I've been with the master for these years, if I can't even do these small things well, shouldn't I find a crack in the ground and get in by myself." Marianne joked, then poured another glass of wine for Xia Lulu, and accompanied him. and had a few drinks.

Late at night, the wind is cool and the wine is warm.
