Chapter 193: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
The image of a dissolute dandy who lived a life of debauchery appeared vividly in front of Lu Pingsheng. He lowered his eyes and slowly sat down.
The women surrounding Zeng Baoyi looked at Lu Pingsheng's demeanor and thought that he was a friend of Mr. Zeng Si. Although they were not surprised, they also restrained their teasing a little.
Zeng Baoyi was half-closed, listening to people around him talking about the casino, feeling unhappy. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, he felt something strange about the dancers beside him.
He raised his eyes and saw in the dim light a person sitting opposite him with a child standing behind him.
He was slightly tipsy and only took a glance before closing his eyes and said slowly:
"Mr. Lu is the most popular person tonight. He is a celebrity. Why don't you go celebrate? Instead, why don't you come to my place to show off?"
Lu Pingsheng took out a wad of money from his wallet and handed it to the dancer opposite who was lowering her eyes and pressing Zeng Baoyi's head.
"Mr. Zeng and I have something to discuss, please excuse me."
The dancer neither reached out to take it nor looked up, and her slender fingers did not even disrupt the rhythm of the massage.
Zeng Baoyi was very satisfied. He opened his eyes, slowly stood up, waved to them and said:
"Everyone, go down. I'll give you an extra thousand each tonight."
A group of young and charming women smiled instantly, thanked tenderly, and filed out.
Lu Pingsheng was not embarrassed and was about to take back the money in his hand, but Wei Miao took it away in a servile manner.
"Master, I'm coming."
Lu Pingsheng: This money is enough to buy a batch of high-quality cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers.
Wei Miao: I made some new fortune tonight, and it turned out to be the right decision to follow Brother Lu out.
What does Brother Lu often say:
She followed her elder brother, and although he was a bachelor, he could provide her with nine meals a day.
Isn't this coming!
After everyone left, Zeng Baoyi still looked lazy and said:
"Go ahead."
Lu Pingsheng looked at the person lying on the sofa, and said sincerely:
"Whether you believe it or not, what happened tonight was definitely not Lu's intention."
Zeng Baoyi looked up at the handsome man in a suit and tie in front of him, feeling quite surprised.
Although he was unhappy because he lost two games, he didn't care.
He was willing to accept defeat, and even though he knew it was a set-up, he was too lazy to pursue the matter.
In comparison, he hated Lu Shaojie more. If this guy hadn't suddenly intervened, he would have definitely won.
But this person won his money and came up to him to explain, which aroused his interest.
"You are a talented kid. You have offended Lu Shaojie, but you dare to come out to have fun tonight?"
Lu Pingsheng smiled bitterly and said:
"If it weren't for this, Lu wouldn't be willing to come out."
Zeng Baoyi glanced at him and said, "A poor man suddenly became rich and came here to show off to me?"
Lu Pingsheng was used to being humble and modest in public, so he didn't take these little sarcasm seriously.
Besides, it is true that he was ridiculed as a poor guy by this person.
Thinking of this, Lu Pingsheng cupped his hands and said helplessly:
"I'm sure you, Mr. Zeng, have also discovered that I was just pushing the issue today and I had no choice."
If Lu Pingsheng had said this before, Zeng Baoyi would definitely not believe it, but he knew Lu Shaojie too well.
It's weird that this person can't even walk, but he still has to come here to make do.
"Is it Uncle Zhang who set up this?" Although he asked, his expression was certain.
Lu Pingsheng took an empty cup, filled it with wine, and drank three cups in a row before saying:
"All I can say is that the stakes are huge tonight, and I'm just trying to save my life."
Wei Miao put the more than two thousand French francs in his hand into his pocket, secretly despising Lu Pingsheng for squandering his money, but also happy that the money was in his hands.
When I looked up, I saw Brother Lu, who used to be so carefree and cheerful, now looking so cautious. I didn't know whether it was more funny or sad.
After listening to Lu Pingsheng's explanation of Tai Chi, Zeng Baoyi frowned and asked again:
"Is it Zeng Jiu?"
After saying that, he denied it himself. Although Zeng Jiu was a meticulous and manipulative person, he and Uncle Zhang not only had no friendship, but also had a huge grudge against each other.
After all, when Zeng Jiu's childhood sweetheart got married and went north, Zeng Jiu threatened to kidnap the bride, but the other party asked people from the Qing Gang to escort her away, and the one who took on this job was Uncle Zhang!
Zeng Baoyi was too lazy to think about these things. His patience was exhausted. He looked at Lu Pingsheng impatiently and said:
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly before I get angry!"
Lu Pingsheng's cheeks were red from drinking, and he hesitated for a long time before he said:
"I heard that when Master Zhang was playing dice, if he wanted a big one, it would not be a small one, and if he wanted a leopard, it would not be anything else..."
Zeng Baoyi, who seemed to be dozing off, raised his eyelids and glanced at the timid Lu Pingsheng.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Lu Pingsheng sighed and said:
"I heard before that Mr. Zhang and his men wanted you to gamble with Lu Shaojie, but the people behind me heard the news, which led to what happened tonight. We just want..."
“You just want my money.”
Zeng Baoyi laughed angrily, so he was the only one being tricked.
Seeing Zeng Baoyi's angry and aggrieved look, Lu Pingsheng opened the suitcase he had picked up and pushed the box containing the "Three Rare Letters" in front of him.
Under his slightly surprised gaze, he opened the small box containing "Gangmao Yanmao".
Seeing his uncertain expression, Lu Pingsheng stood up, bowed to Zeng Baoyi, and said humbly:
"Tonight's incident involves many people. I am just a coward and I can only protect myself. I will give you three letters of apology. Please help me pass these two seals to Marshal Lu..."
It was not until Lu Pingsheng and the inconspicuous little guy walked out of his sight that Zeng Baoyi came back to his senses from the things on the table.
"What does this kid mean?" He whispered, trying to think, but feeling troubled.
He pounded his stuffy head for a long time, then simply tilted his head back and took a big sip of red wine, which made him feel better.
There was a lot going on tonight, and he suddenly wanted to go home and sleep.
So he closed the box in front of him and was about to get up when he heard a noise in the distance.
"What song are you singing? Did someone die in the family? You are half dead and crying. Change it to something cheerful for me."
"With this appearance, she dares to call herself the pillar of Ciro's. Not to mention being better than White Rose, she is even two points behind the original White Rose..."
The little Danfeng who was twisting her waist on the stage was frightened and her voice was out of tune, and she immediately started to curse and ridicule.
Sitting in the number one private room, a man with a big belly and narrow eyebrows was very unhappy.
He had just listened to his subordinates telling him everything about the casino, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that Uncle Zhang privately waived half of the commission.
Now that the person he supported was being openly insulted, he was worried that he had no place to vent his anger.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? Don't you know that Xiao Fengxian is favored by our Master Rong?" The subordinates were good at reading people's expressions.
"Go and tell them to shut up." Seeing that Master Rong did not express his opinion, someone quickly spoke up.
