Looking at the bright moon

When Fourth Miss He came back, she was not very happy to hear her father mention the news.She had recently cut her hair, her bangs were neatly hanging on a pair of willow eyebrows, her round eyes and round face made her pretty childish.Although He Xingli was the fourth young lady at home, she was actually a few months younger than the fifth young master He Lingshan, but because when He Lingshan first worshiped under He Zongkui, the fourth young lady refused to call him brother.He Lingshan had no intention of competing with the girls, so he voluntarily changed to be the last one. He Xingli got this step, thinking that she had won for the time being, she was quite satisfied, and did not raise any objections.

She casually took a magnolia from the vase, put it on her nose to sniff a few times, and glanced at her father out of the corner of her eye: "Don't think I don't know why you took me there."

In front of his daughter, He Zongkui is a loving father who obeys everything.He lost his face, but instead smiled and said: "If you let you stay at home on holiday, you will feel bored. Now that I have the opportunity to take you to another place to play, how come it turns out that I have ulterior motives?"

He Xingli kicked her legs and said without giving He Zongkui any face: "Father, do you still think I am a child who doesn't understand anything? If you really go out to relax, why don't you bring Aunt Lan with you? You let big brother Going with Ling Shan with you must be for business, since it's business, why do you want to take me with you?"

She snorted softly, and threw the magnolia branch to her feet: "You must want me to meet some young master again, Dad, you have to make friends by yourself, how can anyone force people together like you?" ,Really boring."

The father and daughter were talking in the guest room when He Lingshan came in.He is about to go to a reception on behalf of He Zongkui. The initiator is the director of the local chamber of commerce. He Zongkui has a share in it, so he is also invited.He Lingshan changed into a black suit, wore long boots, and had a coat draped over his shoulders. He was tall and straight. He Xingli couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but felt embarrassed after seeing him, and hurriedly turned her head to the side.Although she always likes to make fun of He Lingshan who is like a crow and wears black every day, she probably understands something in her heart.He Lingshan has just turned 20 years old this year. Compared to his status in the gang, he is really too young, so he had to use dark colors to make him look older.

However, he originally had an eye-catching face, and he was still young, like a gemstone that had just been polished, and the brilliance could not be suppressed by any serious color.

He Lingshan first called his adoptive father, and immediately said, "I'll be leaving in 10 minutes, what else do you have to explain?"

Before He Zongkui could speak, Xingli yelled first: "Ling Shan, I'm going too!" She jumped off the chair, hid behind He Lingshan, and said angrily, "I don't want to stay at home with Dad, you take I'll go out and play."

"Nonsense!" He Zongkui's face darkened, and he scolded: "Ling Shan is going to deal with business, you are a girl, why are you disturbing?"

Xingli poked her head out from behind He Lingshan, and snorted heavily at her father: "What's the business, isn't it just eating and drinking? I'm the same age as Lingshan, why can Lingshan go, but I can't?"

The drinking game between men is not as simple as eating and drinking.This time, the host held the banquet in the Jinhui Building, which is a well-known romantic place in Yiling. During the banquet, there will definitely be beauties to accompany them. After the wine table, there will inevitably be a few gambles.But all these things are not suitable to explain to Xingli.He Zongkui was reluctant to reprimand his daughter harshly, so he could only coax his daughter with nice words: "Xing Li, if you want Ling Shan to accompany you out, then I will let him do nothing tomorrow and let you order him, is this satisfactory? "

Xingli was shaken, she was weighing left and right with her chin raised, when suddenly He Lingshan lowered his head and glanced at her coldly.

His refusal was more effective than any words from his father. Xingli dared to contradict her father, but she didn't dare to play tricks on her brother who was only a few months older than herself.She lowered her head in frustration, and said in a low voice, "Then...that's fine."

After the difficult Fourth Miss left, He Zongkui breathed a sigh of relief and silently drank half a cup of tea.He thought he remembered something, turned his head suddenly, looked at He Lingshan who was quietly sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Xingli is a child after all, she likes to get along with her peers. But except for you, I haven't seen her treat her well. A male classmate was so enthusiastic.”

He Lingshan only said: "Now that I am her brother, she will naturally get closer."

"Hey, what you said is a bit wrong." He Zongkui shook his head a few times and said, "She is more presumptuous in front of her elder brother than seeing me! She is very peaceful when she meets you."

After saying this, He Zongkui stroked his chin and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, you came to the Jingbang at the age of 17, and now you are [-]. You are busy with the affairs of the gang all day long, and you never think about yourself. private matter?"

He Lingshan was startled when he heard the words, and didn't speak for a while.He Zongkui knew that children of this age, regardless of gender, were probably a little shy when they mentioned such things.He was about to introduce a few words in a roundabout way, but He Lingshan lowered his eyes and smiled very lightly.His expression was unprecedentedly gentle, and there seemed to be a little secret happiness hidden in his smile, but his sadness was deeper than his happiness, and he didn't look like he should be at this age at all.

But he quickly restrained his smile, unwilling to reveal his thoughts.He Lingshan stood up and said to his adoptive father: "It's getting late, if the adoptive father has nothing to explain, I will go first."

He Zongkui couldn't force what he didn't want to say.When He Lingshan walked out of the He mansion, the sky was completely dark, and the night was like a glass cover filled with ink, with a little blue in the distance.He closed the car door, only to see layers of dense clouds being blown away by the wind, moonlight faintly scattered into the world like mist and smoke, probably there will be no snow tonight.

The Jinhui Building is still lively at night, and its signboard wrapped with colored lights can be seen swaying in the night from a distance.As soon as He Lingshan stepped in, he was greeted by a warm scented wind, the lights in the Jinhui Building were dim, and the singing of Yingying and swallows accompanied the laughter of the guests. The proprietress was looking around on the second floor. In the hall, He Lingshan looked indifferent and was dressed in black.

She yelled, stepped down the stairs lightly, stretched out her hand to pull He Lingshan's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Fifth He, Boss Qin asked about you just now, please come upstairs with me."

He Lingshan turned sideways calmly, avoided her hand, and said, "You lead the way."

Although the proprietress of Jinhui Building has passed her youthful years, she still has a youthful charm, and it is the first time she has received such a cold reception.She glanced at the bewildered young man, turned around, and walked upstairs.

All the people gathered today were familiar faces. After He Lingshan exchanged brief greetings, he saw a very handsome woman sitting among the people at the banquet.She was wearing a lake-colored thin jacket, her black hair was tied up in a bun, and she was sitting with a group of Jinhuilou sisters. When she met He Lingshan's gaze, she smiled at him, lifted the hem of her skirt, and gracefully came to sit beside him. .

A young man with a short beard and a rosy complexion smiled and said, "Qing Rong is showing too much face to the fifth young master. Just now we begged you for a long time to let you sit with us, but you refused. Why? As soon as Fifth Young Master arrives, you are willing to take the initiative to meet him?"

Qing Rong picked up a glass of wine and said: "You gentlemen, why bother to make fun of me, a little girl, just now if I offend you in any way, I will punish myself with a glass of wine."

After finishing speaking, she raised her neck, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then lowered the rim of the glass, counted the time, and signaled to everyone.

Since she made the head start, the rest of them would naturally not want to be outdone, those who respected others and those who drank by themselves, the banquet was considered to have begun.Before coming to Yiling, He Lingshan was a teetotaler, but because of many unavoidable entertainments, he gradually developed a little drinking capacity.Today, as one of the honored guests, he is also the youngest, so he will inevitably be greeted several times.Qing Rong knew that he was a normal drinker, so she secretly blocked a few glasses for him, even so, when the banquet was over, He Lingshan was still down a lot.

The rest of the people went to the gaming table in a hurry, but He Lingshan didn't accept the invitation. He was just about to get up, but he leaned forward and almost bumped into the seat.

Qing Rong quickly grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you still standing still?"

He Lingshan closed his eyes, he never showed his face when he drank, even when he was drunk, his face was still like ice and snow, without softening at all.He gently pushed Qing Rong away, and replied: "Let me take it easy."

"I'll help you to sit down." Qing Rong didn't allow him to refuse at all, she picked up He Lingshan's glove, put it on carefully for him, then grabbed his hand, and led him to go outside.

This time He Lingshan didn't insist anymore, he followed Qing Rong to the other party's room, and was placed on a soft chair.Qing Rong swiftly poured a basin of hot water, twisted the handle of the towel, and sprinkled a few drops of toilet water on it, then returned to He Lingshan and handed it to him.

She looked at He Lingshan, sighed helplessly and annoyed, put her hips on her hips and said, "Your elder brother is really outrageous. Doesn't he like to drink? Why don't you go into battle by yourself at this time, but ask your younger brother to replace him?" Go out."

He Lingshan put the towel on his face and didn't know how to answer, so he called out: "Sister Qingrong."

Qing Rong had nothing to do with him, she stood beside He Ling Shan for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Chun Qiao hasn't come to see me these few days, is it because he quarreled with his father again a few days ago?"

He Lingshan's visit here today was originally intended to deliver a message for Chunqiao.He nodded and said, "Brother said, father has been watching closely these days, and he will come to see you next week."

Hearing this sentence, Qing Rong lowered her head and refused to speak out again.She stood still for a long time, and finally stretched out her hand to press He Lingshan's shoulder, and said: "You rest here for a while, and I will call you when the time is up."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for He Lingshan to speak, she picked up a pack of cigarettes and went straight to the inner room.

The Jinhui Building was still very lively, even though layers of doors and windows were separated, all kinds of sounds still poured into He Lingshan's ears like a flood.This situation seemed familiar for a long time. He Lingshan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that the last time he heard such a commotion was a few years ago, when he was in Chunhua Lane.

Thinking of this, his head couldn't stop aching.He Lingshan couldn't fall asleep, so he straightened up and searched around the room for a while.

Beside him was a small table with a stack of brand new newspapers on it.He Lingshan was bored, so he picked up a sheet and flipped through it.

This is a popular tabloid, and most of the articles on it are critical biographies of famous actresses in Huaguo.He Lingshan glanced casually, then turned around again, and a piece of news with a photo suddenly came into view.

The protagonist of that news is a very popular female star named Feng Manhua.She had been promoted in recent years, and as soon as she showed her face, she became popular all over the sky.According to the news, Feng Manhua will bid farewell to the screen after starring in the next movie and marry into a noble family.And the person she married was Yannan's well-known gangster leader who was only 35 years old.

The person who wrote the news called the pair "talented and beautiful women". He Lingshan looked at the blurry photo in the newspaper. The man and woman on it were so far away from the camera that it was difficult to distinguish their faces.

But just based on this glance, He Lingshan can already conclude that the person in the photo is indeed the person he has been thinking about and dreaming of for the past three years.

There was a buzzing sound in his head, as if something had exploded, cracking and shattering everywhere, gravel, sand and sand crashed down into a mess.He gripped the newspaper tightly, without even thinking about it, he grabbed it hastily and ran out of Qingrong's room.
