Chapter 11 10. Uncharacteristically

"Shanshan, Shanshan," the Tsar called to her happily: "Mingcheng is back! Mingcheng is finally back!" "Has he finished his doctorate?" "It's over! I made an appointment with my friend to go skiing in Switzerland. Knowing that I was not in good health, Mingxin committed another crime. He was afraid that I would be unable to support him alone, so he gave up his plan to go to Europe and came back to fight side by side with his father and son!" "That's really good news." Shanshan said flatly. "Shanshan, please help me to renovate the house for him. The third floor is closer to me...not good, Mingcheng likes quietness, and the fourth floor is the quietest." The Tsar was so happy: "The third floor is better, the third floor is originally Leave it to Mingcheng! Shanshan, call someone to start work tomorrow, ah!"

"However, I don't know anything about the third young master, such as color, taste..." "I will try my best to find out everything about him, and then I will tell you. He has been abroad since he was a child, and I don't know much about his likes and dislikes... Give me a long-distance call, and I will talk to his grandmother, aunt... talk……" Since Sha Mingcheng was brought to Canada by his grandmother since he was a child, the Feather Fountain has never been there.Therefore, the Tsar asked Shanshan to pick him up at the airport. Shanshan took Mingcheng's photo and stood at the airport pick-up area and waited for a while, finally some passengers came out, one, a few members of a family, a couple of men and women...a boy holding a coc1 (due to the printing of the original book, a part is omitted here Part of the content, please forgive me!) coc2

"Actually, sister-in-law should say that Yu Shanshan is very beautiful. Really, I never thought that our family has such a beautiful assistant." He smiled.He has a round dimple on his face, so he has a sweet smile. "Thank you!" Shanshan didn't want to say more.Enemies don't do it, but friends don't. I see a lot of cheap men: Master Zeng, Zeng Ru, stepfather, Sha Mingzheng, Sha Mingxin... She did not speak after that, entered the Feather Fountain, Mingcheng looked around curiously, and kept saying how beautiful it was.Shanshan sent him to the tsar's room and asked them to talk about their father-son relationship.

The Czar hadn't eaten in the dining room downstairs for a long time, probably because Aiko came home for the first time.Therefore, Mingcheng pushed the wheelchair downstairs to accompany his son to eat. Apart from taking care of the Tsar dutifully, Shanshan didn't say anything. When Mingcheng and his son talked, she never interrupted. After finishing her work that night, she went back to her room to watch TV. Mingcheng doesn't have the habit of eating late at night, which saves her a lot of time. There is no conspiracy, no need to calculate others and please others, she feels that the whole person is much more relaxed.

Of course, the Tsar still had to take good care of him, but Sha Mingcheng didn't care. These days, she is physically and mentally exhausted, and she needs to resume the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Correspondence with Ming Xiangtong when you have time, and read medical reference books.Go home on Saturday and Sunday to accompany my mother. On this day, Shanshan went out of the garden to go to the next world, and met Sha Mingcheng in the garden. "Miss Yu!" He stopped her, showing a friendly smile, "Are you always busy?" "No way, there are not many masters in such a large room, but there are many servants."

"This house is really big and beautiful, can you show me around?" He still smiled: "I'm really afraid of getting lost by myself." "I'm busy going to the kitchen now, I'll accompany you some other day when I'm free, okay?" Shanshan said that, how could Mingcheng say it wrong?She is not a guide, and this is his home. The current Shanshan doesn't wear a close-fitting cheongsam, a bun, a weird new hairstyle, sexy clothes, and of course she doesn't wear glasses. When she goes to work, she wears a skirt, and when she comes back from work, she wears a pair of long trousers or jeans, a T-shirt, and her long hair casually draped down, just like when she was at home.

She doesn't act coquettishly; however, she is still refined, gentle and gentle - her original character. One day, Shanshan gave the Tsar an injection, and the Tsar asked, "Is the work at home very troublesome?" "Complicated, but not annoying!" "Do you want someone to help you?" "It's already a large group of servants who want me to manage it, so please, unless you ask someone to take care of me!" "Do you like the Phantom Feather Fountain?" "like!" "When Ming Xiang was in Hong Kong, did she show you around?"

"She showed me it all!" "Before Mingcheng went to Canada, we didn't live here. Because Mingxiang's mother is melancholy and introverted, I personally designed this villa for her. She doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't worry about being lonely at home." The Tsar said: "Therefore, Mingcheng has never seen this villa before, and he is very curious about everything in the villa. I have limited mobility, and I can't show him around. Shanshan, if you have time, take him around and explain it. ?" "Okay, Uncle Sha, this Sunday." She must obey the tsar's order.

"You have to go home with your mother on Sunday. It's not good to miss your private affairs." "Uncle Sha, I don't necessarily have to go home every week. My mother is accompanied by her husband and her own children, as long as I take the salary back and hand it over to my stepfather!" "In that case, I have one more request." "Uncle Sha has ordered." "Mingcheng left Hong Kong since he was a child and is completely unfamiliar with Hong Kong. There are no classmates or friends here, and I don't want him to be close to his two older brothers. He is bored at home every day!"

"Why doesn't Uncle Sha let him go to work?" "He has just returned home, and it is rare for father and son to get together as a family. I really hope he will accompany me more. Besides, he is still so unfamiliar with Hong Kong. I hope he will rest for a month and a half, and use the time to go sightseeing." The Tsar showed Mingcheng's photo Put it back to the original place: "As soon as you go to work, you are buried in your work. Except for holidays and weekends, it is impossible to have time to travel around the mountains and rivers. Let's count it as a holiday! The place to play is crowded with people, so if you are not too embarrassing , I hope you take Mingcheng to play around."

"But Uncle Sha..." "Starting tomorrow, I want to be picked up by the general manager of the head office temporarily!" "Zhang Boren—Uncle Zhang?" "Well! Until Mingcheng goes to work, if you have no objection." "Why do I have any objections? Follow Uncle Sha's orders!" "Thank you! Can you call Zhang Boren for me?..." "Where do you like to visit first? The third young master." Shanshan and Mingcheng walked side by side. "I want to see the whole villa!" He was wearing a pair of white trousers, a white vest with zipper pockets, a blue and white striped long-sleeved T-shirt, blue Italian loafers, and white socks. He looked like a college student. "It took me a week to appreciate the entire villa when I first came here. Let me introduce the main parts of the entire villa first. If you are interested, I will take you to see it later. Leave the rest for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. okay?" Sha Mingcheng nodded, fully agreeing. "Let's talk about the main house first: there are four floors, but the number of people in the house is only a few. Let's talk about the downstairs first. The largest downstairs is the hall, which is usually used for entertaining ordinary friends and banquets. It used to be the living room. The living room is for greeting good friends. Above the large living room and the living room: the second floor is Uncle Sha’s bedroom, study, private reception room and my suite. The fourth floor is for the young master and young mistress, which is now vacant. The third floor It is exclusive to the third young master. There is a corridor fence on each floor, and you can see the hall and the living room. The left and right stairs of the living room go straight up to each floor. After that, there is a side hall, which does not entertain outsiders. For rest and chatting." "The side hall is very special, let's go and have a look!" Shanshan took him to the side hall: "The side hall is the most special in the whole house. There is an elevator here, dedicated to Uncle Sha. There are some very comfortable leather chairs, small tables, telephones, and TV sets here, just like the lobby of a hotel. There are six marble steps in front, and there is another world when you go up. There is no brick wall at the end, but glass as the outer wall, so you can see the scenery of the back garden. There are also many indoor flowers and trees planted here, like a greenhouse ;The green bamboo round table and green bamboo chairs over there are most suitable for two men and women or a couple to drink tea, appreciate flowers and trees, and chat." "It's also suitable for sitting alone and reviewing one's mistakes." Mingcheng said, "Here you will feel very peaceful." "Yes!" Shanshan continued: "It used to be a library, and there were hundreds of books in various languages ​​in it. Uncle Sha sometimes held meetings in it, because it has a large space. From here to the end of the room They are all single-floor, with a bar next to it. In addition to the bar, there are also large refrigerators and warm ovens... It is convenient for the servants to open meals. Because the main house is too far away from the servants, the dishes are already cold when they are delivered in winter, so you must have them Keep the oven warm! I'll come in for fresh milk at night, too." "You have a refrigerator in your room. The fresh milk and eggs in the refrigerator are changed every day, and there are all kinds of snacks!" "But if you want to drink hot fresh milk, you have to come to the bar!" "Oh! Uncle Sha didn't tell me that you don't drink frozen fresh milk!" "I often drink frozen fresh milk, but when I was a child, my grandmother asked me to drink a cup of hot fresh milk before going to bed. This has become a habit!" "I will instruct the servant to bring you a cup of hot fresh milk every night." "No need to trouble." He said hastily.Among the three brothers, he is the least arrogant: "It's also very convenient for me to go downstairs to the bar." "No trouble, it should be. It's outrageous for a large group of servants to ask for Young Master's milk." Shanshan continued: "There are corridors from the side hall to the bar, but there is no corridor from here. Because, at the end of the main house, there are two dining rooms, one for western food and one for Chinese food. Both dining rooms have outer doors. There is a slope outside the outer door, which is convenient for Shabobo’s wheelchair, because Behind the dining room is the garage. Next to the garage is the guest room, which is for ordinary friends and distant relatives to stay. At this point, the part of the main house is over, and there is a round terrace around the main house. Holidays or evenings , you can have breakfast there, have afternoon tea, chat and watch the garden view.” "It's a treat to sit there and have a cup of coffee after dinner." "Yes, as for the garden, it is divided into a front garden and a back garden. In addition to the flower beds and trees, the front garden also has a circular swimming pool and a circular fountain. From upstairs, it looks like a figure 8." "That's the Phantom Feather Fountain that the villa is named after? The water sprayed by the five crystal fishes is said to have feathers. Let's see it now! Okay?" "It looks more magnificent at night, but the lights are covered by the sun during the day, so the advantages cannot be highlighted." "After dinner, show me!" "Okay!" Shanshan agreed, "The garden is very big. In addition to the two large pools, there are also tennis courts, barbecue areas, and enough places for garden parties. The back garden has a big kitchen, servants' dormitories and many fruit trees. Among them, papaya and banana trees are the most." "It's a pity that there is no gym, I have a private gym in Canada!" "You can have it here. Besides, this is your home. Go down from the garage, and there is a basement. Most houses in Meijia have basements!" "Have you lived in America and Canada?" He was surprised. "No, it was Mingxiang who told me that there is a basement where she lives, and there is an indoor heated swimming pool in the basement; but because the young master, the young mistress, and the second young master are not very interested in swimming, Uncle Sha's legs It’s inconvenient, so I haven’t put water in for a long time. If you like, you can put water in when the weather is cold.” "I like swimming." "Besides the swimming pool, there is still a lot of space in the basement. Tonight I told Uncle Sha, I will build a fitness room for you and order some fitness equipment from abroad." "It's okay, I don't have any friends here, it's boring." "When you go to work, you make a lot of friends very quickly." "Friends in business don't take advantage of each other! I won't cherish it!" Shanshan smiled, that was his business and had nothing to do with her: "I still have something to do, I will tell you about the magic feather of the magic feather fountain..." After dinner, Mingxin took a cup of iced coffee, and Shanshan took him to the terrace first. "We sit here and look at the Feather Fountain. It looks more beautiful and poetic if we sit farther away. The water sprayed out by the five shiny crystal fish is red, yellow, blue, orange, and green. , purple for a while, pink for a while. And the sprayed water seems to have feathers sprayed out with the water. Red water has red feathers, and purple water has purple feathers sprayed out. It is very beautiful and very beautiful. Poetic and romantic." "It's really beautiful, so beautiful!" Mingcheng held the cup and stared at it fascinated: "You can watch it all night." "Now let's go to the fountain and have a look." Shanshan walked forward, and she walked around the fountain: "The whole fountain is surrounded by lights. The mouth of the crystal fish; and the mouth of the fish is constantly sprayed with water. The water is supplied from the hydraulic machine at the bottom of the five fish. There is an electronic device under the hydraulic machine, which automatically adjusts and controls the light....It can be said that this artificial magic feather fountain is all computerized. Operation, when you see the feathers ejected from the fish mouth, it’s like watching a movie. It’s just a double image, but it’s very realistic. People don’t understand, and they think that the fish mouth will eject various colors of feathers. The water will also spray out feathers of different colors!" "Gah!" Mingcheng exclaimed. "Uncle Sha is really smart, brainy and creative." He nodded and said, "Father also praises you for being smart and capable!" "A woman doesn't have to be smart and capable, happiness is enough!" Shanshan sighed. "What kind of woman is happy?" "The definition of happiness is different, isn't it? I can't answer this question on behalf of a woman." Shanshan said: "This Feather Fountain is constantly changing, enough for you to watch for half the night, I still have something to do, excuse me!" "Where shall we play tomorrow?" "It's up to you, I'm just a guest." For ten days, Shanshan accompanied Mingcheng to many places: New Territories, Lantau Island, Sai Kung, Stanley, Sha Siu Wan, Cheung Chau, The Peak, MTR, electrified train, cross-harbour tunnel, Eastern Corridor, Aberdeen and the ocean garden. Played Adventure Pool, Wave Bay, Whitewater Ride, Shallow Water, Magic Spring and Giant Waterslide in the water park... They changed their clothes and drank drinks at the open-air cafe. "Unexpectedly, there is also an Ocean Park in Hong Kong. The water park is quite exciting." Mingcheng was very happy: "The scenery is very nice, I will take pictures for you." "The scenery is beautiful, it's good to take pictures of the scenery, I'm afraid of taking pictures." Shanshan knows that Mingcheng is a photography enthusiast. "Scenery is quiet, but people are moving. I want to take pictures of both. Help me out and be my model today." "I don't look good on camera!" Shanshan thought that she had already done her duty by playing around with him, and she had no reason to act as a model. "It's not that you're not photogenic, it must be that the person who took the photo for you is poor." He said softly, "Please! The guarantor is as beautiful as the photo." She asked for it, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, Shanshan was very passive and let him take the picture. During dinner, Mingcheng asked, "How is our itinerary tomorrow?" "I have completed the whole itinerary today, Hong Kong is just so small." "The place is small, but the most beautiful. I had a great time. Going to see a movie tomorrow. We haven't seen a movie yet." "You don't need a tour guide to watch a movie, just ask the driver to buy the ticket, and then the driver will take you to the theater. It's very simple." "What's the point of watching TV alone?" "You will start work next week. After work, you will naturally have friends to accompany you to have fun. The sports car you ordered from France has also arrived on the weekend. It will be more convenient to go in and out in the future. Third young master, it is an honor for me to accompany you, but my job belongs to your father Special Assistant." He looked at her with big round eyes so focused and sincere: "What if I invite you as a friend?" "That's impossible. You are the third young master. I went to work in Sha's house. Our relationship is between host and guest!" "But you call my father Uncle Sha, and you are my sister's classmate. We are friends from the beginning." "Third Young Master, I appreciate you, but starting from tomorrow, I will continue my job - special assistant to the president. I really don't have time to accompany you. I hope you understand!" Friends, who is interested in making friends, especially friends of the opposite sex? Well, Mingzheng and Mingxin have already disgusted her to death, she has no reason to please and socialize with Sha Mingcheng anymore. The Tsar seemed to intend to hand over all the business of the Sha family to Sha Mingcheng. Therefore, the head office had the office of Mingcheng's vice president, and the bank also had his office. Mingcheng went to work at the bank in the morning and returned to the head office in the afternoon, and every morning, he went out to work with Tsar and Shanshan. Shanshan has no objection to the tsar's arrangement. Sha Mingcheng and Ming Xiang will share everything about the Sha family in the future.Now that Mingxiang is still studying, it is very suitable for Mingcheng to take care of the business temporarily. " Moreover, Shanshan still has one biggest wish, to persuade the Tsar to accept a leg operation.Since he has refused to perform surgery since the accident, many complications were caused by his thigh.With surgery and a long period of physical therapy, he might be able to walk again, at least out of a wheelchair, and he would be in good health. Hand over the work to Mingcheng, hoping that the Tsar can take care of his body with peace of mind, and Shanshan can retire with success. The Tsar is always very happy recently: "Shanshan, this Saturday, I want to borrow your time for one night, is it okay if you don't go home?" "Yes!" Shanshan agreed. "GD will hold a dinner and dance party specially for Mingcheng to celebrate Mingcheng's joining the association. I hope you will be Mingcheng's female companion." "This job should be handed over to the third young master's secretary. He has four female secretaries." "His female secretary is all vulgar and vulgar fans, how can she compare with you?" "However, the three secretaries were chosen by the third young master himself." "He chooses his secretary only for his talent, not his appearance. Of course, it's better to have outstanding talent!" "The third young master doesn't have to worry about not having a dance partner. The night before the third young master started working, didn't he hold a reception and invite everyone who has business dealings with the company and the bank? I see a few strong women and famous ladies, right? The third young master is very fond of him, he should have a girlfriend!" "I mentioned it to him just now, this silly boy, he didn't even remember the surnames of those ladies. He said no when I mentioned them one by one. Later, when I mentioned you, he finally nodded." "But, Uncle Sha, I don't want to go!" "You and Mingxin have attended this kind of banquet before." "That's why I realized that I'm not suitable for the upper class." "Shanshan, for godfather's sake, help Mingcheng. On that kind of occasion, Mingcheng is alone, and it doesn't look like it. You have been with me these days, and you know so many people. Mingcheng needs your help very much." Shanshan had no choice but to accept her fate. Back home, Ah Jin said that someone was looking for her. "Looking for me? Who?" "The surname is Chen, Mr. Gentleman." Shanshan entered the hall, and she saw a young man. "Miss Yu? I'm Chen Jiali, a fashion designer from Royal Clothing Company. Master Sha invited me to make some evening gowns for Miss Yu." what!The Tsar was very thoughtful. "I drew a few patterns, take a look first and then choose the material, okay?" "Whatever!" Shanshan perfunctory. Seeing that Shanshan was expressionless, the surname Chen asked, "Miss Yu has been wearing clothes designed by famous Italian and French designers. She has no confidence in local fashion designers? I will definitely try my best!" "No!" Shanshan is very serious: "I always think that the moon in Hong Kong is rounder than that in foreign countries..." Shanshan is wearing a beautiful violet evening dress with simple lines and a generous style.Her long hair was pitch black and shiny, and she didn't even wear a single flower. Ah Jin came in: "Miss Yu, my master asks you to meet him before you go out!" "I'm ready!" Shanshan put on white satin high-heeled shoes, a silver metal evening handbag, and a white satin cloak from that set. When she arrived at the tsar's room, the tsar looked at her and said, "Like a princess, noble and elegant!" "Uncle Sha really knows how to joke!" "It's really beautiful; however, wearing this evening dress alone is a bit monotonous. Shanshan, come and see, doesn't it look more luxurious with this set of diamond jewelry?" "Uncle Sha, these diamonds are too..." "Hey! Let's be clear, it's a loan, not a gift. Wear it, it's Mingcheng's face!" The Tsar buckled the diamond watch for her: "This year, brown diamonds are inlaid with gold, but it's not the same as your cloak, shoes, and handbags." None of them are worthy; I have thought for a long time, this set of jewelry is the best match!" Mingcheng knocked on the door and came in. He was wearing a three-piece purple suit that was exactly the same color as Shanshan.Shanshan thought it must be scary for a man to wear a purple suit, but Mingcheng didn't look ugly in it.Especially his silver evening shirt and silk tie, as well as his white patent leather shoes with a pair of waffles on the soles of the shoes, each with a rhinestone on the flower head. He went over and put his arms around his father. From the plate, the Tsar picked up an accessory from the same set of jewellery, and put it in his pocket for Mingcheng. It turned out to be a diamond pocket scarf. "It's time for you to go out. There will be a reception at seven o'clock." The Tsar looked at Shanshan and then at his son. Mingcheng lowered his head and said to his father: "You should eat more tonight, rest when you are full, and don't bother reading documents." "Okay!" The Tsar's eyes narrowed into a smile, and the relationship between father and son was obviously very good.There are hundreds of thousands of miles away from Mingzheng and Mingxin: "Go quickly, don't worry about me, enjoy yourself, and don't go home too early!" "Then we won't be coming back tonight!" Mingcheng laughed. "No, I didn't say there was an all-night dance. Where did you take Shanshan? She's a good girl, and you're a good boy. You'll be back after the dance." The Tsar clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You child! " Mingcheng closed the door of his father's room, went downstairs with Shanshan, and was about to leave the garden in the hall, Mingcheng took the silver cloak from Shanshan's hand: "The autumn wind begins to blow at dusk!" He put the cloak on her carefully. "thanks!" In the car, Shanshan answers every question, but Mingcheng's heat and Shanshan's coldness are extremely extreme. At the reception, the president, his wife and their daughter hurried forward to greet them. Gentlemen and ladies all gathered around. Soon, I heard some chirping voices: "Young Master Sha, Young Master Sha..." Sha Mingcheng was surrounded by celebrities and ladies. Today's men, as long as they are young, rich, knowledgeable and good-looking, are more popular than diamonds with women. Shanshan slipped away, she didn't know many people here, after all, she was not from this circle.However, a beauty like her is also welcomed by young masters. Some of them knew each other because of their relationship with the Sha family. So Shanshan doesn't worry about being lonely. "Shanshan!" They were talking happily when someone suddenly appeared. Shanshan turned her head and saw that it was Zhao Naikang. He hadn't looked for her for a long time, when he got a bad nose. "Are you okay?" Zhao Naikang asked attentively. "Very good!" Facial words, entertainment words, formal words: "What about you?" "I went to America once, for business." He didn't pay attention to the other boys at all: "I thought you weren't in Sha's house anymore." "Why do you have this idea?" "I came back last week and heard that Sha Mingxin was kicked out of Sha's house, right?" "Yes! But what does Sha Mingxin have to do with me?" Shanshan shrugged, "I'm not expelled!" Zhao Naikang gradually led her away from the group of boys: "Isn't Sha Mingxin your boyfriend?" "No! Even so, I didn't come to Sha's house to be Sha Ming's new girlfriend. You know that being the girlfriend of that kind of person will not end well; besides, I have been working for the Tsar, and I am a part-time worker. The Sha family's affairs have nothing to do with I don't care." "Ah!" He smiled relievedly: "I made a mistake, Sha Mingxin is gone, I heard that his little brother has come back from Canada!" "Someone has to take care of the Sha family's business." "We are family friends, but I have never met Sha Mingcheng. Shanshan, whose girlfriend are you today?" "Shanshan!" Sha Mingcheng walked over and handed her a glass of cocktail: "I can't see you in a blink of an eye, met a good friend?" "Sir Zhao's son, Mr. Zhao Naikang." Shanshan introduced them: "Mr. Sha Mingcheng, son of the tsar." "Brother Zhao?" Mingcheng shook hands with him: "It seems that you didn't come to Dad's drinking party last time?" "Little brother? I've grown up so much. I'm away on business and I just came back last week." After some cordial greetings, Zhao Naikang looked at Shanshan: "So you came here with Mingcheng!" "The salaried class, of course the boss's words must be obeyed." Shanshan said helplessly, "The tsar's order!" Zhao Naikang looked at the two of them: "I think you are a good match, at least better than Mingxin." Sha Mingcheng smiled sweetly. "Compatible?" Shanshan was displeased: "Which aspect?" "The color and material of the clothes are the same; the jewelry is the same jewelry!" Zhao Naikang said bitterly, "Couple outfits, matching from head to toe!" Shanshan smiled angrily: "The clothes were made by the czar, and the jewelry was lent to me by the czar. Mr. Zhao, I am a paid female companion!" Zhao Naikang seemed to understand, Sha Mingcheng held Shanshan's arm: "A few friends want to see you, Brother Zhao, we will talk later." Sha Mingcheng dragged Shanshan away: "I'll take off the cloak for you and put it away. Wait for me!" Sure enough, Sha Mingcheng took her to several young ladies and young masters: "My girlfriend, Miss Yu Shanshan... this is Zhu Er, Jia Lulian, Amy, Miss Feng... this is Luo Ba, Adam, Kenji Yamamoto..." Women are of course disappointed, the prince charming in their minds has a girlfriend who is as beautiful as a fairy; men are not happy, it turns out that Snow White already has a prince charming, what hope do they have. "Shanshan, there are still some uncles and uncles who want to see you. Everyone, excuse me!" Going away, Shanshan immediately withdrew her arms, very upset: "Third Young Master, why are you making fun of me? Tell the young masters and ladies that I am your girlfriend. I am so ridiculous, master and servant are not distinguished!" "You didn't realize that there are a few boys who keep staring at you. If you don't want them to harass you, you'd better feel wronged." "Wronged? You are the one who was wronged, not me. Third Young Master, why should I?" "Can you not call me the third young master? Mingcheng is not difficult to call." Mingcheng asked her: "Am I annoying? Please tell me what makes you displeased, so that I can correct it." "No!" Shanshan shook her head, did he hate it?So what about Mingzheng and Mingxin?Not pleasing to the eye, is there anyone better than Zeng Ru?Thinking about it makes me want to vomit: "I don't want to make friends, third young master, neither men nor women. You are not wrong, it's all my fault. Don't talk about it, my task tonight is just to be your female companion..." After the dance started, Mingcheng stayed by her side all the time, socializing with her occasionally, but at most he came back after two dances. A lively lady came over: "Mingcheng, would you like to dance with me?" "Okay! Next, I just made an appointment with Miss Yu." The girl walked away sadly. "We didn't have an appointment at all, I..." "If you don't want to, you have to be wronged once. If you don't want to dance this dance with me, how can that lady get off the stage? Please!" Shanshan had no choice but to dance with Sha Mingcheng, she accidentally raised her head and found Sha Mingcheng looking down at her. She bowed her head quickly. "you are beautiful." "thanks!" "You are the most beautiful, it should be said, the most perfect one among the girls I have seen." "thanks!" "Why do you keep saying thank you? Did you get numb from being praised too much by boys?" "No! I rarely interact with people at all." "Why don't you like meeting people?" "I..." Why did you tell him?He's just irrelevant.Could it be that people like Zeng Ru, Master Zeng, and stepfather made her hate men?Make her lose confidence in the opposite sex? She was speechless and danced silently. After twelve o'clock, Shanshan said, "I'm going back first!" "Play a little longer. The dance is for me. I'm the guest of honor. It's not good to leave too early." "Third young master, I didn't make my words clear. I mean, I'll go alone first, and you stay and play. There are many beautiful ladies here, and you don't have to worry about not having a dance partner." "I can't let you go alone, I will always send you back, there is no reason to go back and come back!" "Don't bother you, ask the driver to drop me off, and I'll pick you up later!" Shanshan picked up her handbag. "The driver has already left, no one will take you back." "Leaving? Impossible, he must wait for us." "I told him to go away! He has brought my new car here, and I will drive you back later by myself. To save face for the master, let's play for a while! Let's say goodbye at one o'clock, okay?" Shanshan doesn't care at all, and she's not a child, so she has to go to bed at ten o'clock; however, she feels that these social gatherings are superfluous, and she grins all night like an idiot.But Mingcheng's words are also reasonable, she can't be too persistent, she has to cooperate after accepting the order.However, she expressed her attitude: "It doesn't matter when you leave; but, I don't want to dance anymore, you go invite those ladies, whether it makes people happy or does good deeds." "Are you uncomfortable? Then I'll take you back." He was still considerate. "No, I'm fine, I just don't want to dance. Please, just ignore me." At 1:30, the dinner and dance party ended for Sha Mingcheng.Mingcheng handed a golden sign to the doorman, and then he went to take Shanshan's cloak and put it on for her. Several young masters and young ladies and Mingcheng made an appointment for the after-party, and it was not too late for everyone to break up. A purple sports car drove over, stopped, the doorman came out, Mingcheng got into the car while holding Shanshan's arm, waved goodbye to the guests before sitting in the driver's seat. Shanshan knew that Mingcheng liked to order cars in foreign countries, and the Tsar said that his precious son had no hobbies, but liked cars.Playing with cars is much better than gambling and playing with women... So, the Tsar is quite supportive of Aiko. But Shanshan didn't know how many cars Mingcheng had ordered. Today everyone wears purple and drives a purple car, but if they wear yellow tomorrow, they will drive a yellow car, right? Purple, Shanshan has never seen a purple car in her more than 20 years of life, and it is really outstanding.well!Brother, my family is rich, so I can get whatever I want. Shanshan flicked her long hair, she didn't want to think about it, anyway, he has nothing to do with her. "Tired?" he asked concerned. "Why?" She smiled, "I'm not forty years old!" "Do you like my car?" "Very good and refreshing." "Too eccentric, isn't it?" "No, it's very suitable for the third prince." "prince?" "Isn't the Tsar's son a prince? Or should I say a prince, the two princes are gone." "I thought you'd like it." His tone was a little disappointed. "I don't like it if I don't have it. Why should I? In fact, as long as you like it, the car is for your own use." The car drove into the garage, Shanshan waited for the car to stop and wanted to open the door to get out of the car, Mingcheng gently pressed her hand.He went around to open the door for Shanshan and gave her a hand. They entered from the dining room and passed the bar, Mingcheng asked, "Would you like a drink?" Shanshan shook her head: "Your hot fresh milk will be in the room, I have already told Ah Zhong." "You are so thoughtful, thank you! How about you?" "There is everything in the refrigerator!" She continued to walk, Mingcheng followed her, passed the library, the side hall, the reception room, and slowly went up the stairs. side stairs. Shanshan's room is at the end, next to the stairs, when Shanshan turned to the left, Mingcheng said, "Good night, see you tomorrow." "Good night!" Shanshan opened the door and entered the room.Mingcheng still stood outside for a while before continuing to go up the stairs to the third floor. Since that night, there have been rumors outside that the only daughter of a member of parliament has violently pursued Sha Mingcheng. However, Mingcheng and Shanshan still go out together for a grand dinner party, and Mingcheng seldom goes out at ordinary times. When Shanshan came home, she found that her stepfather was very strange, and he flattered her a hundred times more than usual. Lele went to play, Lily was still sleeping in. "Shanshan," he stammered suddenly, "I have something to tell you." Shanshan was upset and rolled her eyes. "We'll have chicken porridge and fried Xingzhou rice noodles tonight." Mrs. Yu said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare." "Shanshan..." "What exactly do you want? You said that I must pay you back 300,000 yuan, and I will pay you back every month; moreover, with monthly increases, I have already paid you 5,000 yuan a month, what else do you want? Not that much money." "Shanshan, I... beg for your help." "Ask me for help? What can a woman like me do for Mr. Yu? Hey!" Shanshan's eyes widened. "Your Master Sha runs the Tsarist Bank, I want to borrow money from the bank..." "Ah! Okay, okay, welcome, go to the loan department, the bank lends money to people every day, you don't need to ask me for help, just take some things as collateral." "I don't have any valuable real estate to mortgage, so I have no choice but to ask you." "Just kidding, you have houses, stocks, curios, cars, too many to count." "It's all betted, the car is sold, the driver and the servant are all fired, but you didn't pay attention." Shan Shan took a look, but the servant was gone, and the antique shelf was also empty: "What, the racecourse failed?" "You know I don't gamble. It's really hard to do business now. I can't get orders at ordinary times, and the wages have to be paid, so the workers can't keep it. Suddenly the order comes. Temporary workers are hired to rush the goods. Those workers will kill you, and they will be duplex. ..." "Don't tell me these business stories." Shanshan was afraid of looking at his face, her stomach was full, she opened a jar of peanuts and peeled them to eat: "You told me, I don't understand either." "Shanshan, I'm about to go bankrupt. Now I have a good opportunity. I took a few orders. As soon as the goods came out, my difficulty was over; It costs money to resupply, hire workers, and change machines.” "You have no real estate mortgage, and the Tsarist Bank will not lend you money. The bank has bank rules, and it is useless for you to find me." "Shanshan, if you are willing to help me, I believe Master Sha will make an exception once." "Dream! Don't even think about me getting a loan from the boss for you!" Shanshan refused. "I won't ask you to speak up. I know it will affect your face. I just beg you not to stop Mr. Sha from lending me money." He begged bitterly: "Shanshan, you helped me this time, so you don't have to do it again in the future." Take the money and go home, and you don't owe me anything." "No, no, absolutely not, the worst thing is to pay back the money. I will definitely tell Master Sha that you have neither collateral nor ability to repay the loan. I will tell him not to lend you money." "You? Are you really desperate?" “你不会死，大不了屋和股票卖断，厨房有鸡粥，饿不死你的，你又何必求我这下贱、卑微的女人？”姗姗冷笑，桌面的花生一推：“见死不救？一年前我被色魔强奸，曾家退婚，曾如贪图家产弃我而去，留下我一个人在医院受人凌辱，遭人白眼，谁来救我？你连妈妈去医院看我都不准，又迫我停学，每天不是讽便是骂；还有你那两个宝贝，他们怎样戏弄我？欺负我？你竟然还帮着他们对我拳打脚踢，要不是妈妈把你拉开，你早已把我打死。你还把我逐出家门，没钱供奉给你就不准踏入家门半步，那天我在街上走了整整一晚和风和雨和雾过了一夜，谁来救我？谁来救我？你吗？除了我爸爸和你一样姓余，我们有什么关系？我身心尽毁时，谁来救我……” “姗姗！” 提起往事姗姗很激动，她全身发抖，声音都嘶哑了。 但她眼中无泪，她是无泪之女。 她突然拿起手袋往外便跑，余太太由里面冲出来，截抱住她：“孩子，他是该死，妈也不好，我们全都错了，我已骂了他几天，他已经悔过。姗姗，我和他都欠你，都没脸求你，请你看在妈妈十月怀胎的份上，就救他这一次，最后一次。” 姗姗咬住唇，别转脸。 “这是他生死存亡的一刻，他这一关过不了，他完了。若你帮他这一次，他翻一个身，以后会好好做人，不再贪图妄想，姗姗，妈厚着面皮求你一次。” 姗姗心想，妈妈总是妈妈，她对母亲总是有责任。至于姓余的、曾老头的仇，报在明正的身上，曾如的仇报在明新身上，也该和这个臭男人算一算账。 “好，看在妈份上我帮你。”姗姗一昂头：“但有两个条件。” “姗姗，你说，”后父扑过来：“什么我都答应。” “第一，我不再欠你什么，我和你姓余的各不相欠。” “现在只有我欠你了，姗姗，我早说过以后你不要拿钱回家！” “第二，你的两个宝贝子女，一向看不起我，常口出污言，我要你当着他们两兄妹向我细诉你的罪行，向我道歉；并且在他们面前向我叩三个响头，一定要响的！” “这……”他面有难色。 “姗姗，他毕竟是你后父，养育你十几年，”余太太在女儿耳边说：“他已是几十岁的人还要他叩头。” “第一个条件已经表示抵偿了养育费，他除了和我父亲一样姓余，我和他有什么关系？他能给曾老头托脚，叩头算得了什么？” “姗姗，道歉、叩头……我都愿意做，但可不可以趁乐乐他们不在时马上做？要是他们看见，我这个做爸爸的……” “我就是要他们看你的卑鄙小人相，让他们知道你是个不值得尊敬的坏蛋，你下流、贱格、卑鄙无耻，你做不做？不做我马上走，以后我也不会再回来，每月寄上支票五千，足够三十万为止。你们也不用求我，姓余的，你完了。” “你别走，我照做……” “还不把乐乐找回来看戏？莉莉，你马上给我起来……哭什么？等会还有得你哭……” 姗姗心情畅快，哼着歌回幻羽喷泉。 回房间，扔下手袋，倒在床上越想越开心。 突然，她看见床头柜上有一只绿汕汕的青蛙，双目还会闪闪亮，她跳起床一看：“呀，不是青蛙，玩具吧！” 她用手拿起它，下一半竟翻下。 看清楚，原来是个无线电话。谁把这东西放在这儿？ 她伸手按电脑盘，约十分钟，阿金进来了。 “这青蛙怎会在我这儿？”这房间，除了姗姗，阿金进出的时间最多，因为是她侍候姗姗的。 “今天早上我在房间打扫，三少爷捧进来的。” “三少爷，他的东西怎会在我这儿？三少爷呢？” “好像在偏厅的玻璃室内。” 姗姗穿上鞋子，到楼下，沙明诚果然在偏厅的玻璃室内。 “三少爷，”她一面跳上阶级一面叫。 “你回来了。”他蹲着，回头向她笑。 “三少爷，我房间有新电话！” “是我放进去的，是不是很可爱、很有趣？” “是很好看，不过……” “前几天我不是有个同学来看我？他刚去完欧洲，也来香港玩玩，那电话他在法国买的。” “既然是同学送给你的，为什么不留为纪念？” “小玩意，不适合我，比较适合女孩子，我和爸爸都这样说，所以转送给你，希望你喜欢。” 原来沙皇也知道，“谢谢，我不知道回送你什么？” “不用送，又不是圣诞节交换礼物。”他的笑容永远都那么可爱：“有没有兴趣种花？” “种花？”她看见明诚把泥倒在一个很精美的花盆内，姗姗今天心情特别好；否则，她会把电话退回，连话也懒得和他说：“种什么花？” “我同学去到荷兰，荷兰是花的王国。那儿的花市场，花真美，他最喜欢这种花；但又不能一盆盆带上旅程，因此，他买了许多花种籽，交我几包。”明诚指了指他脚旁一包包的花种：“这些花长大了，会开出一些又白又黄的小花，很美，像袋封的图画一样。我看可以放种子了！” 姗姗剪开袋把种子拿出来，明诚叫她撒在泥土上，再盖上另一种泥。 “这叫什么花？” “同学记不住，他一向粗心大意，花袋上写的字又全是意大利文。泥土及种植的方法全是他口授的。”明诚很开心，把种好的花看了又看：“等花出来了，你为它改个名字。” “我怎能为花起名字？” “为什么不能，花的名字，不全都是人改的吗？”他看看她：“多种一盆好不好？看哪一盆先长出花？” “好！种子多呢！” “我们一起种，怕不怕弄脏你的手？” “不怕，”她今天心情是好得出奇，开朗得如大学时一样：“弄脏了可以洗！” 两个人齐心合力，一会儿就种了一盆花。 姗姗看见还有空盆子，她说：“我自己也种一盆好不好？看看将来哪一盆的花先开。” “好。”明诚笑着鼓舞。 “这些小花盆好漂亮，以前没有见过。” “我叫花王到处搜购，一定要名贵、美丽，烂缸我不会要！” 种好花，他们把三盆花摆在最好的位置，有适量阳光可以照射。 “我们去洗手。”明诚随意地拉起她的手。 姗姗没有不自然的感觉，可能心中根本没有那种念头。 酒吧有个洗手间，洗手时，明诚为她把手背的泥洗去，又拿了条毛巾为她抹手。 “如果不太疲倦，我们喝杯东西。” “热鲜奶？”她无所谓，心情那么好。 “不，咖啡，睡前敢不敢喝咖啡？” "Why not?" “有些人喝了咖啡睡不着。” “我喝什么都能睡，我来冲。” “不，由我来煮咖啡，你坐着看！”他拍拍酒吧的高脚凳。 “你会煮咖啡？”她坐下来，很享受的舒口气。 “留学生那一个不会？”他把咖啡豆放在咖啡壶内。 “但你不是普通留学生，家里有外婆，一定还有人侍候。” “我不需要为吃喝操心；但是，看见其他侨生会做的事，自己也想做，心想，自己到底不是外国人。”他去拿两套咖啡杯：“我烧牛仔肉最拿手，外婆赞我比厨子功夫还深。” “外国长大的人都比较自立，这优点，这儿的公子哥儿就没有。唔，咖啡好香！” 姗姗看见他在热腾腾的咖啡里加少许酒，又拿出一瓶鲜忌廉，在咖啡上喷了两大朵花。 他想一想，拿了个银托盘，把两杯咖啡放上去：“我们到玻璃室喝咖啡。” “花不会一转眼开出来！” “那儿环境幽雅，情调好，喝咖啡是一种享受。” 姗姗想接过托盘，明诚摇一下头，示意她领头先走。 明诚把托盘放在绿竹圆桌上，坐在绿竹椅子上，舒舒服服在喝咖啡。 “味道如何？”他问。 “又香又滑，”姗姗看看那些花盆：“你的欧洲同学呢？” “我没有在欧洲念过书，是加拿大的同学。我们本约好去欧洲，后来我要回家，便退出了，今天他回加拿大。” “为什么不请他回家吃顿饭？” “爸爸怕吵，不喜欢热闹。我们在外面会面，我做向导，昨天去海洋公园。” “沙伯伯不会连你一个同学都容不了，其实家里太静了。” “不是一个，是七个，本来连我是八个，住酒店订四个房间。七个男孩子，你不知道，我们玩起来很疯，史宾沙还有个怪毛病，一开心便尖叫，笑声又大，一定吓坏爸爸。他们见我没去欧洲，给我买些衣服，碰巧星期六、日，我不用上班，昨天和今天大家聚聚。他们坐十时零十分的飞机走，送了机我便回来。爸爸还没有睡，我等他睡了便下来种花，今天过得很充实。” “应该休息，明天要上班。”姗姗把托盘拿回酒吧，明诚陪着她；然后一起上楼，在二楼道了晚安，便各自回房间睡觉。 吃饭时，沙皇又闹胃痛。 本来，沙皇午饭多半有应酬，要在轮椅吃，晚上便必须靠在床上吃饭，才会舒服。自从明诚回来了，一天几顿沙皇都陪儿子吃，终于闹出病来。 明诚一定要他在卧室吃晚餐。 沙皇感叹身体不争气，只好同意。
