dream back

Although the western restaurant has not yet opened, it has already been cleaned.Even the fallen leaves in front of the door were swept away.

Mingcheng pushed the door open and went in, the bell on the door rang, and two young shop assistants greeted him immediately from the inside.

"Boss." Seeing Mingcheng, both of them were a little nervous.

In the manager's office, Mingcheng sat behind a large and luxurious desk. In front of the desk stood all the staff of the restaurant, three chefs and five waiters, men and women, all under Mingcheng's subordinates.

Standing on the far side, the most tall and straight, the youngest are Ah Chu and Xiao Si.Ah Chu, 46 years younger, both came from the military training class, experienced life and death experiences, although young, they have the unique temperament of soldiers: sharp and capable.

"The others dismissed, Ah Chu and Xiao Si stayed." Mingcheng ordered briefly.

"Yes." Ah Chu and Xiao Si puffed out their chests and stood upright.

Mingcheng didn't speak for a while, Ah Chu and Xiao Si couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and stood upright, not daring to move a little.

"Elder sister came to Paris from Shanghai, and at noon today, I will invite you to my house for dinner." Ming Cheng finally said, "If you show any weakness in front of elder sister, Commander Ming will order you to break your legs."

"Yes." Ah Chu and Xiao Si replied at the same time.

"Mingtai will also propose to let the eldest sister sponsor you to go to school, reject him." Mingcheng ordered.

"Yes." Ah Chu and Xiao Si replied again.

"Go to school?" Xiaosi hesitated for a moment, but asked in a low voice.

Mingcheng didn't answer, but just ordered them to disband: "Go out and do something."

"Yes." Ah Chu and Xiao Si replied again, turned and left the room.

Mingcheng sighed softly, picked up the ledger on the table and looked through it, there was a light knock on the door, and someone shouted "report" outside the door.

"Come in." Mingcheng's eyes still fell on the account book, and he ordered casually.

"Sir, I have something to report." It was Ah Chu who came in, and he stood upright in front of Mingcheng's desk.

"Speak." Mingcheng still didn't look up.

"Sir... Brother Ah Cheng." Ah Chu changed his address.

Mingcheng looked up at him.

"Brother Ah Cheng, can you let Xiao Si go to school? He is still young. Besides, he likes going to school." A Chu looked at Ming Cheng, and said cautiously and full of hope: "You know, he is timid, he doesn't want to Likes to kill."

Mingcheng's face turned cold: "No one likes to kill people."

"Yes." Ah Chu lowered his head: "I'm just... sorry, sir, I said the wrong thing, I'm going out."

Ah Chu bowed his head and walked out the door.

"Come back." Mingcheng stopped Ah Chu: "I will consider this matter, don't tell Xiaosi yet."

"Yes, thank you Brother Acheng." Ah Chu happily saluted the military.

Both Ah Chu and Xiao Si are orphans in the orphanage. After Mingcheng was taken in by the Ming family, they often secretly went back to the orphanage to visit the director.Later, due to the war, the orphanage could no longer be maintained, so Mingcheng absorbed some older orphans into the army.

Although it gave them a temporary way to survive, it also brought them into a dangerous place where they could die at any time.

Mingcheng still doesn't know if he's doing the right thing, but, for those orphans, he always wants to give them more care, but sometimes, he can't do what he wants.

"What about Chief Ming?" Ah Chu asked worriedly.The Ming officer he was talking about, of course, was Minglou.

"Mr. Ming, I will report." Mingcheng looked through the ledger again: "Go out."

"Yes." Ah Chu gave another military salute and withdrew.

Mingcheng closed the ledger, stood up, put his hands on the back of the chair, and felt that the part that was beaten by his elder brother yesterday seemed to be clamoring for pain again.

Ming Jing took Ming Tai to visit a few close friends. At noon, Ming Jing hosted a banquet at the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce in Paris and Ming’s cousin.

Although Mingtai didn't like this kind of entertainment, after all, he came from a family and learned etiquette since he was a child.He is also good-looking and energetic, and is very popular with the elders.

Der Spiegel was also very happy, and everyone enjoyed themselves in the private room.After the banquet was over, when Ming Jing came out with Ming Tai, Ming Tai had sharp eyes and saw Ming Lou and a foreign woman eating at the bright stall of the restaurant.

Ming Jing was also very curious, and was about to say hello to Ming Lou, but Ming Tai said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, don't let elder brother find out, I'll go and listen to what they are whispering."

Ming Jing smiled and agreed, and when he and Ming Tai walked over quietly, he heard Ming Lou say to the foreign woman: "Alice, you are a very good girl, and I also thank you for your love for me, but in my heart We already have Wang Manchun, there is no room for other women."

Although Alice was sad, she raised her glass to Minglou and said, "Mr. Ming, you are a person who values ​​affection. I understand your choice. I wish you and Ms. Wang happiness."

Ming Jing's footsteps stopped, and his face turned cold.Mingtai suddenly felt that he had done something stupid again, it would be nice to greet his elder brother directly.

"Brother." Mingtai greeted bravely.

Minglou immediately stood up, and said to Mingjing, "Elder Sister."

Ming Jing nodded: "You are having dinner with your friends."

"It's Mr. Pierre's niece, Miss Alice. This is my elder sister, and this is my younger brother Mingtai." Minglou introduced politely.

Although Minglou was calm on the surface, in fact, he was secretly beating drums in his heart. Looking at the cold face of the elder sister, he knew that the conversation between himself and Alice just now must have been overheard by the elder sister.

The eldest sister didn't attack immediately out of self-cultivation and politeness, but when she went home, she really had a difficult time to overcome.

Minglou felt a little regretful, why did he have to use Wang Manchun as an excuse.Still, he was used to using Wang Manchun as a shield for his emotions.

Ming Jing greeted Alice tactfully, and wished her and Ming Lou a pleasant meal, and then took Ming Tai to leave first.

Mingtai walked out while supporting the elder sister's arm, while turning his head and mouthing to Minglou: "Brother, this is none of my business."

Mingcheng also had lunch in the western restaurant before going back.Only Axiang was at home, and Mingcheng brought her bread and bacon.Ah Xiang also ate at home alone at noon yesterday, and she only dealt with some fruit.

From Mingcheng's point of view, Axiang is also a little sister, and she needs to be taken care of by him.

Ah Xiang really hadn't eaten yet, the food Mingcheng brought back was just what she wanted, she happily thanked Master Ah Cheng, and went to the kitchen to eat.

The phone rang, and Mingcheng went to pick it up, and a timid female voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, is this the home of Professor Minglou?"

"Is it Lingzi?" Mingcheng asked in English.

Sakuragi Reiko said happily: "It's me, Mingcheng-kun. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

Mingcheng smiled and said, "Do you have anything to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I received your letter. You don't have to worry about me." Yingmu Lingzi said happily.

Minglou and Mingcheng resigned from the school.Mingcheng wrote a letter to Lingzi Yingmu, telling Lingzi that he was going back to China with his eldest brother Minglou, and that her eldest sister was in Paris these days, so it was inconvenient to come and say goodbye to her.

Mingcheng nodded and said, "Take care of yourself."

"Ming Cheng-jun should also take care of himself." Sakuragi Reiko said reluctantly.

When Mingjing and Mingtai came in, Mingcheng had just hung up the phone.He greeted Ming Jing, "Elder Sister is back."

Mingtai was by the elder sister's side, and kept winking at Mingcheng, Mingcheng was a little confused, so, could it be that the conversation between him and Lingzi was overheard by the elder sister?It shouldn't be.

Ming Jing's face was very cold, and he said to Ming Cheng, "Ah Cheng, follow me to your elder brother's study."

"Eldest sister, don't be so nervous." Mingtai wanted to persuade elder sister.

"Go back to your room and study." Ming Jing ordered with a straight face.

Mingtai didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, eldest sister, I'm going to study right now." After speaking, he hurriedly ran back to his room.

Mingcheng felt a bit of a headache, and followed the elder sister to the elder brother's study full of apprehension.

Ming Jing sat on Ming Lou's usual chair, and asked Ming Cheng who was standing in front of the table: "Ah Cheng, does your elder brother still have relations with Wang Manchun?"

Mingcheng was taken aback. Although it was not a question about him, the topic of the elder brother was also very sensitive. If it could not be done well, not only would the elder brother be enforced by the elder sister, but he would also be involved.

"Eldest sister, you misunderstood. Eldest brother is in France, and Miss Wang is in Shanghai. How can there be any contacts." Mingcheng tried to make his tone as frank as possible.

"If you dare to co-operate with your elder brother to lie to me, I will not forgive you." Ming Jing nodded Ming Cheng with his hand.He stopped asking Mingcheng, and started looking through the things on Minglou's table.

"Elder sister, why are you so angry?" Mingcheng was really afraid that the elder sister would find something, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only probe cautiously.

Mingjing ignores Mingcheng and only cares about turning over by himself.Mingcheng suddenly remembered the letter from Wang Fuqu.Although Wang Manchun's letters were burned, it seems that Wang Fuqu's letter is still there.

"Eldest sister, what are you looking for, I'll help you." Mingcheng saw that the elder sister was about to open the drawer where the letter was, and hurried over to block it.

"I don't need you." Mingjing reprimanded Mingcheng: "You, you have helped your elder brother fool me since you were a child, so why don't you still help me now? Why don't you let me get out of the way!"

"Eldest sister, don't be angry, I don't dare to fool you with elder brother, I'm afraid you will be angry. Calm down, don't get tired. When elder brother comes back in a while, you can just ask him directly." Mingcheng comforted big sister.

Ming Jing took a breath, and temporarily gave up the action of checking things.Mingcheng hurriedly called Ah Xiang to pour tea for the elder sister.

Ah Xiang brought in a cup of tea, looked at the situation in the room, and hurriedly backed out.

Mingcheng brought the tea to the eldest sister: "Elder sister, you should drink some tea first."

Ming Jing took the tea, and took a look at Mingcheng's left hand. Mingcheng's left hand was still swollen.

"When your eldest brother comes back, the eldest sister will vent your anger on you." Ming Jing pointedly said.

Mingcheng hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Brother, I have listened to you. I teach seriously in Paris. I haven't mentioned Miss Wang for a long time. Have you misunderstood?"

"I didn't misunderstand him, we will find out when he comes back for the first trial." Ming Jing's eyes fell on the ruler on the bookshelf: "You give me that and take it to my room. When your elder brother comes back, let him see me immediately."
