Chapter 12 12. Two women and one man

When two women talk privately alone, their intimacy is often mellow. Once a man appears between the two, the taste of the words will be very different. Fan Xiaoqing came to the door twice in one day, and Yu Nong was very disappointed. After three years of separation, she and Ding Shaomei had a lot to talk about, and there was a bright and lively girlfriend in between, which made her unhappy. "What's the big deal, I need to work on your master?" She was upset in her heart, but her mouth was very affectionate, half-joking.Yunong thinks that he has a good family education, and he must not show stinginess in similar places.

Fan Xiaoqing said: "I'm really sorry to bother you to reminisce about the old days. I'm here because there is indeed a little matter." A deposit certificate from the British merchant Macquarie Bank was handed over to Yu Nong, with 5,000 yuan in French currency on it, which belonged to Ding Shaomei. name. "My father said that Young Master Ding is inconvenient, so let's use it first to buy clothes and so on. If there is any other important use, then tell him." "It's hard for your father to be thoughtful, but he lives with me, he can't afford anything, and it's very convenient to use money." Yu Nong really didn't want Ding Shaomei to follow the old Ziggs, just like her father and his father, That's not a good life.

Fan Xiaoqing smiled, still standing there, the neckline of the long silk dress was boldly low, and said: "Your family is not short of money, I know that. However, this is a matter between the two of them, and I can't control it." Ding Shaomei gave way to Fan Xiaoqing.Although the two women were fighting with hidden needles, it should not be a lack of etiquette. "My task is completed, you can continue to talk. As for me, crazy play is my profession, I'm going to dance." She kicked in and out of the door, turned around and asked: "Did Young Master Ding learn to dance in England?" ?go together?"

Ding Shaomei glanced at Yunong, her face was calm, and she gently threw the deposit receipt on the coffee table. "I'm afraid I'll trample on your patent leather shoes." Ding Shaomei couldn't give up Fan Xiaoqing's clue, but he couldn't ignore Yunong's emotions either. Fan Xiaoqing's car drove wildly, the wind whistled past Ding Shaomei's ears, and the bright headlights shone far away, startling the cars coming from the opposite side and foreign cars touting business.Ding Shaomei quietly buckled up her seat belt and put her hand on the car door. "Death before leaving school" is not what he wants.Looking back at Yunong in the back seat, she didn't show much on her face, but because the hood of the car was open, her forehead hair fluttered in the wind, and she was wearing a tweed suit in such a weather. A little too thick.

Fan Xiaoqing skillfully manipulated this wild horse-like high-powered car, raised his voice to cover the violent wind, and said: "For this car, I waited for half a year before it was shipped from England. Most people in this place I like American cars, but I don't know that British cars are real works of art, while American cars are just mass-produced industrial products." "The faster the car, the more dangerous it is." Yunong's soft voice could be heard clearly in the wind. "Driving this kind of car is like driving a naughty man, like Young Master Ding. Skill alone is not enough." Fan Xiaoqing rushed onto the concrete bridge of Qiangzi River without slowing down, and turned right again. , galloping along the river, dangerously passing every car ahead.

"Shaomei and you are not the same way." Yunong couldn't help but respond at this moment, deliberately using a friendly address. "Young Master Ding is a person who does great things, right? What people who do great things need most is a good helper, right? I don't know about others, but I know that I am a good helper. In this land, no matter what you do I can help you with anything." Fan Xiaoqing didn't mean to boast, but just talked about the facts, and to be honest, it sounded irritating enough. "Others can help, too." Yunong knew that she could not compare with Fan Xiaoqing in terms of communication skills, but she was also very confident and believed that she had another set of skills to help others, but it is inconvenient to say it here.

The car stopped at the entrance of the British Club, Fan Xiaoqing said: "I have changed my mind now, let's not dance, how about playing differently?" Yunong didn't want to go to the dance, her dress was decent enough for newspapers, but compared to Fan Xiaoqing's gorgeous long dress, it would pale in comparison on the dance floor, but she couldn't be soft-spoken, saying: "What are you doing again?" What weird idea?" "It's right to follow me." The car passed the French Bridge and left the concession, but the Japanese soldiers guarding the north end of the bridge did not stay, and they rushed into the Italian concession along the river.Ding Shaomei somewhat guessed what Fan Xiaoqing was thinking. She and Yu Nong would probably lead them to an unsuitable place—the casino, after bickering and fighting, so she came out to smooth things over and said, "I've been out for so many years. Have I changed the rules and returned to my strength?" The stadium has added a night game?"

Fan Xiaoqing didn't say a word, and the car went straight past the Marco Polo statue in front of the Jawaii Stadium, and stopped in front of a brightly lit building on West Circle Road. She threw the car keys to the uniformed Belarusian doorman, and she went into the building. Ding Shaomei helped Yunong down from the back seat, and the two looked into the building.Fan Xiaoqing stopped at the gate, let the doorman wait there with the glass door wide open, turned back to look at Yunong, his eyes were full of mockery. Yu Nong walked in the door first. This is a small two-story building, and all the rooms have been opened up, making it look very spacious.On the first floor is Chinese-style gambling, Pai Gow, shaking stalls, and betting. Every table is crowded with a circle of people. It seems that the clothes are all rich people, and there are hundreds of people who open their mouths and yell non-stop.

The three waitresses followed behind them, their gold and red short skirts just covered their buttocks, and the silver-plated trays in their hands contained the chips they exchanged.Ding Shaomei's family education is very strict, and old Mr. Ding is also a well-behaved person, so he has no chance to gamble. "Go upstairs, it's like a vegetable market here." Fan Xiaoqing was obviously a frequent visitor, and people greeted her politely from time to time along the way. Upstairs is Western-style gambling, and half of the gamblers are foreigners from all walks of life. "What do you like to play?" Fan Xiaoqing looked like a master, with a smile in his eyes.

Yunong's face was sullen, her small mouth was full of bones, and she squeezed it tightly, revealing her stubbornness.Ding Shaomei didn't have much memory of this kind of air. Ding Shaomei had only heard of roulette, but he didn't know how to play it. He sat in a velvet-covered armchair, fiddled with the chips in his hand, and looked around.Fan Xiaoqing and Yunong sat on both sides of him, their elbows pressed against his. The relationship between Italy and Japan is good, so Union Bank Notes are accepted here, and their chips are all in units of Union Bank Notes.Fan Xiaoqing exchanged 2,000 yuan, half of which was given to Ding Shaomei, and Yunong exchanged 200 with her own money, but she never placed a bet.

Fan Xiaoqing is a bold and adventurous gambler. She bets fiercely, but not recklessly, and sometimes she is very careful. Even so, if the chips come in and out, she loses all of her 1,000 yuan. "I'm not very lucky today, I made you laugh." She smiled at Ding Shaomei, still radiant, without a trace of frustration in her expression, and casually moved Ding Shaomei's chips to her. Ding Shaomei pays attention to her every expression, every movement, gambling can best show a person's true temperament, he thinks this is an opportunity to get to know her.However, so far, he has not had any concrete experience.There weren't many gamblers on the other tables, they played in twos and threes, betting absent-mindedly. "Yunong, why don't you bet? Come out to play and have fun." Fan Xiaoqing leaned over Ding Shaomei and said to Yunong, with a hint of hidden provocation in his eyes. Yunong replied: "Since you come to gamble, you have to win. You are not gambling, but just playing for money." "You can also gamble? Can't tell, the most famous lady in our school, Guan Yunong, can actually talk about gambling? It's really eye-opening." Fan Xiaoqing's eyes turned to Ding Shaomei, staring at him deeply. Ding Shaomei felt a little uncomfortable being caught between the two men's swords, so she turned her attention to Miss Baier who was in charge of the stage. Her breasts were like a pair of mountains, and a full three or four catties of flesh protruded from the outside of the low-cut uniform. After another hour, Fan Xiaoqing still had the last 200 yuan left. She bit her lower lip, her eyes widened, and she stared at the rows of numbers and color blocks on the gaming table. The lady in charge put the balls on the roulette wheel and waited patiently for the gamblers to make up their minds. At this time, Yunong gently pushed out her pile of chips with two fingers, put them into a number grid, and said in Ding Shaomei's ear: "It's getting late, you have to send me back to the museum to see the big sample." "It's just what time it is. I come out to play on weekdays, and this is just the beginning." Fan Xiaoqing's expression was not as relaxed as before, and she put the rest of the chips on another number. After watching it for a long time, Ding Shaomei could see some tricks. The two of them are no more likely to win money than buying "airline lottery tickets". The later the time, the more guests there were in the casino. The two groups of people who occupied the table not far away but didn't place much bets gave up their seats to the big gamblers who came later, and came to their table, standing at both ends, with their hands in their hands. Playing with small chips, a group of two, both dressed as Chinese. Coming out of the house, Ding Shaomei found a car following them. What made him suspicious was that he didn't know if they were following him or Fan Xiaoqing.It is said that he has not been here for a long time, and he has not done anything, so he will not attract the attention of the Japanese.But what is Fan Xiaoqing worth following?strangeness. He did not see which of the two groups was their follower. The gamblers around the table exclaimed, and the lady in charge pushed over a lot of chips with a pole, and Yu Nong won a lot of money. "It's time to go back to work." Yu Nong held a stack of chips in his hand, and gave one to the lady in charge, and the rest of the stack was held on a plate by a waitress, wriggling her buttocks behind her, step by step. The waitresses who took care of the guests upstairs lined up at the stairway. Their bare thighs stood upright, and the other leg was slightly curved. They were very neat, with skilled, sunny faces and earnest eyes.Yu Nong gave each of them a chip, and they all kindly stuffed it into the palm of their hand. Ding Shaomei followed behind, gently holding Fan Xiaoqing's hand, with a slight effort, he embraced her in his arms with his eyes.Her complexion brightened up again, the failure and humiliation dyed on her face were swept away, and she began to follow Yunong lively making faces and walking like a duck. Women are cutest when they fail.Ding Shaomei couldn't remember which Western sacred words these were, but she really sighed. At the entrance of the newspaper, the two doors are still crooked, which looks scary.Ding Shaomei wants to stay with Yunong to watch the show, and then send her home afterward.Fan Xiaoqing didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure, and kissed Yunong on the cheek kindly and politely, then pulled Latin Shaomei's hand, and left in a hurry.A gray Portsmouth turned the corner, and the machine followed, whining. To drive such a car and keep up with a crazy driver like Fan Xiaoqing, I'm afraid it will take some effort.He saw clearly that there were two people in the car, and he had seen them in the casino.He suddenly realized that this must be the bodyguard sent by the old Ziggs for his daughter, otherwise he would not follow behind so blatantly. It is really not suitable for his daughter to wander around in his business. It seems that she still has a talent for being a spy and can quickly find problems. Ding Shaomei praised herself a few words from the bottom of her heart.He opened the note that Fan Xiaoqing stuffed in his palm, on which was written with lipstick: At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will pick you up. "I'm not competing with her to be jealous." Yunong stopped on the steps and turned to face Ding Shaomei. With the help of the weak light from the street lamp, Ding Shaomei found that tears were shining in her eyes, not at all like the complacency she had just won in the casino. "She was like this in school. When she saw other people's boyfriends, she would definitely get her under her belt. Usually, she grabs a lot of boyfriends, but she never gets tired of them." Yunong's mood calmed down, but in simple narrative. "In the past, she didn't do anything to me, and I didn't have a boyfriend for her to steal, and I had the relationship of my father's generation, so I got closer." It is extremely clever to explain my innocent history clearly through a story. skills. "so what?" "I won that bet just to let her not be too complacent, not to look down on me so obviously, not to take me seriously. Calculating the probability of roulette is too difficult, I can only try my luck, and I didn't expect that it would really make me happy. She's embarrassed." She noticed the concern in Ding Shaomei's eyes, and her tone turned calm and self-effacing. Ding Shaomei was unable to ask a question, so she hurriedly asked, "You really know how to gamble? I think you are very good at betting and rewarding people." Yunong smiled and said: "When it comes to gambling, whether it's Chinese or Western, I've understood since I was a teenager that the Chinese gambling method is the best. My father is afraid that I will be fooled by men, so he wants to show me as much as possible. .It’s just that, apart from following Daddy, I’ve never been to a casino myself.” "When you were a teenager, Lao Guan was still working as a servant in my house?" Ding Shaomei was shocked. "I'll tell you these things slowly in the future." She ordered herself: she must not scare him, let alone lose his trust because of her parents. What's more, there were two cars following them. She had noticed long ago that the Japanese car was still hiding nearby.What are they doing with Ding Shaomei?She felt the need to investigate clearly.
