Chapter 447
Mo Haoran laughed and said, “I forgot, the way is different, naturally Ji Shao doesn’t know me.”
This sentence, which sounds generous, actually conceals sarcasm, referring to Kepler’s illegitimate son’s status as unworthy of being compared to him.
Kepler narrowed his eyes.
Mo Haoran smiled proudly and whispered to Gu Xiyue, “Xiyue, let’s go!”
Gu Xi Yue nodded.
The two men prepared to leave.
I just took two steps, but I saw Kepler frown.
Suddenly grabbing an attendant beside him, he asked seriously, “He’s not the Mo Haoran who was criticized for starting and ending things and eventually trying to get to the top with a woman, is he?”
The entourage clearly held a smile, but still advised him in a serious whisper, “Young Master, hearsay out there is not to be trusted.”
“Oh!I’m not gullible, I just have a general impression of that, and besides I don’t have the leisure time to care about such gossip!”
After saying that, he pulled Nina Hua towards the VIP private room.
Behind him, Mo Haoran’s face was already black as hell.
Totally twisted.
Gu Xi Yue angrily stared at the back of Kepler’s group, then looked at Mo Haoran with worry in her eyes.
“Ignore him, that man of his has always been this arrogant and domineering!What good words can come out of your mouth!”
Mo Haoran smiled coldly, birds of prey flashing across his eyes.
Then he patted Gu Xi Yue’s arm in a reassuring manner, as if he had instantly turned back into that gentle and elegant noble son, and said, “Don’t worry, no matter what people outside say about me, as long as you believe in me, it’s enough.”
Only then was Gu Xi Yue relieved, and the two smiled at each other and left side by side.
Nina Hua followed Kepler into the VIP private room.
Along with the three entourage members who came in.
It’s a Japanese restaurant, with a low table in the middle of the room and cushions on either side, so we go in and sit down at the table in order of priority.
The waiter came in and Kepler ordered a few random dishes.
Then waved him out, closed the door, and couldn’t come in without a summons.
Nina Hua sat next to Kepler and raised his eyebrows.
The knowledgeable didn’t speak.
Through their conversation, Nina Hua soon learned that the three men who had followed Kepler in, one of them with a beard, Liu Yu Ming, was the Jin family’s head of trading on the China-Burma line.
Liu Yu Ming locked his eyebrows and looked a bit scorched as he said, “Young Master, this time I’m looking for you, I actually have something I want to ask you for!”
Kepler looked aloof and motioned for him to continue.
“Here’s the thing.A week ago, we received a business that said we needed a shipment of goods from the Dream Burma side, and since they were all regular customers, I didn’t suspect anything, so I shipped one over as he requested, but I didn’t expect that as soon as we entered the Dream Burma border, we were robbed by a group of guys from an unknown source!”
“That gang is very familiar with our route, personnel arrangements, and trading methods, and from what I can surmise, should have gotten word of an ambush halfway around the world!But I’ve checked up and down, inside and out, and I’m personally responsible for this shipment, and absolutely no half of the news has leaked out.”
“That’s not all, the most important thing is that the buyer is desperate for the goods, but how can I give it to him when I don’t even know who the robber is on my side?
Damn those bastards!Usually man like a dog called brother, really something happened to turn the other cheek, said it was not shipped on schedule to pay double the penalty.As you know, business isn’t good in Montmartre. How can I pay him back with that kind of money?But the head of the family can’t know about this.
Dao, or I won’t be able to eat my bowl.”
“So the little ones will have to come and beg you!Young master!I hope you will be merciful, even if it’s for the sake of our loyalty over the years, help us!”
Kepler curled one leg and sat quietly, his arm resting on his knee, his fingertips tapping the tabletop, once, again….
In the meantime, he seemed to be contemplating.
Liu Yuming and the three of them stared at him, not daring to take a breath of air.
It was only after a half-hearted sound that he spoke slowly, “It’s not that I’m not willing to help you, it’s just that you all know that although this aspect of the Jin family’s business is now obviously being co-ordinated by me, I’ve always disliked meddling in Second Uncle’s side of things…”
Words, not yet finished.
The three of them looked at each other, stood up immediately and stepped back.
Then half-kneeled down on one knee and said solemnly, “If Young Master is willing to help, the three of us will be willing to repay Young Master in the future.”
Kepler’s black eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved.
Light laugh: “What are you guys doing?I didn’t say I wouldn’t help!”
He said, raising his hand to signal them to get up quickly, and waited for the three of them to sit down again before slowly saying, “Although I never interfere in Second Uncle’s side of things, the Jin family is one after all, so let’s do this!I promise to help you find out where that shipment is in the next two days.”
The three of them were overjoyed, but then he suddenly interrupted, “But…”
Only his eyes were dark with a teasing glow, and he smiled, “I’m only responsible for checking for you, but as for the goods, you’ll have to ask for them!”
The three were slightly stunned and quickly reacted.
Nodding his head as if pounding garlic, “Of course!Thank you young master!”
Kepler waved his hand carelessly, and only then did the three of them retreat with a thousand thanks.
Only after they left did Kepler let the waiter serve the food.
The food was served quickly and Nina Hua had already eaten, so he only ordered his portion.
The result is that the man eats his meal with immense elegance, while she, with a glass of lemonade, is a bored spectator.
It had to be said that Kepler’s eating was actually very gentle, and every move he made revealed an elegance and nobility that could not be concealed.
Not at all like his usual style.
A meal was served.
He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, suddenly asking, “Did you get the mansion?”
Nina Hua was stunned.
Then he remembered that since he had seen himself and Mo Haoran Gu Xi Yue eating together, a casual guess would lead him to the purpose of her appearance here today.
It was never intended to be hidden, so I nodded honestly.
The man looked up at her askance, “Like it that much?”
She pursed her lips and bowed her head to pick at an embroidery on the tablecloth with her fingers, not speaking.
It looked a bit like a pique.
Come to think of it, she begged him for help and he flatly refused without hesitation, forcing her to go to Qiao Bing, she was supposed to be angry!
Nina Hua hadn’t realized that somehow, in her heart, it had become more natural to ask Kepler for help than to ask Qiao Bing.
The man suddenly chuckled lightly and stopped pressing her.
Pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with a deft motion.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Nina Hua happened to raise her eyes, she saw that his eyes were lost, and he looked at her as if he was greedy.
Chapter 448
The heart, vibrating fiercely, jumped like a deer in a frying pan.
She didn’t look away from him.
The movement was panicked as if he was running away.
Halfway through, Kepler finished his cigarette and stood up.
“Let’s go!”
Nina Hua followed suit and stood up, asking, “Where to?”
“Ten million dollars for a house and you’re not going to see it?”
They walked out of the Oriental Hotel and got into Kepler’s SUV together.
The car started up and sped down the road.
Soon, you’ll be at the foot of Anshan.
It’s been many years since Nina Hua has been back, but I didn’t expect that everything here would remain the same, with green bricks and tiles, small bridges and flowing water.
She remembers the brief but wonderful time she had when she was sent here as a child to learn how to paint.
After asking for the season’s advice, the man said he wouldn’t go in, so she got out of the car alone.
Push open the door and walk into the old house alone.
The mansion was small, with a layout somewhat like, but not identical to, the courtyard houses of earlier times, and a huge shadow wall with an inscription in Master Jenifer’s own hand was visible upon entering.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it looked like no one had been in it for some years.
There was an acacia tree in the corner, remembered or planted from her time here.
What was then a young sapling has now grown into a towering tree, its branches and leaves stretching out far over the wall, covering the entire corner with shade.
It’s full of memories!
She walked to the front door and pushed it open, a thin layer of dust falling from her head.
The room was dimly lit, and she used her memory to find the switch and pop the light on.
The old chandelier made a zippy noise and eventually came on reluctantly because no one lived there, and the house was covered with a white cloth to serve as a dust barrier, so that when the owner returned someday, there would be less cleaning to do.
Unfortunately…the master will never return!
The heart was a little gloomy.
She pushed open the bedroom door.
There were two closely connected bedrooms, and she remembered that when she couldn’t sleep, her master would gently tap her on the shoulder and give her a pep talk so she wouldn’t be afraid.
Memories came flooding back, and it was then that she realized that much of what she didn’t remember was because she didn’t want to think about it, not because she had already forgotten.
Those feelings that are carved in the blood and bones… can never be forgotten!
She walked into the house she’d lived in as a child and looked at the small wooden plank bed, suddenly nostalgic for the feeling of lying on it.
Then they lay down gently.
Now that she’s an adult, she sleeps in her cot only curled up, in a position that isn’t comfortable but feels incredibly reassuring.
It’s like being a kid again!So innocent, so carefree.
Closing my eyes softly, I felt suddenly tired.
It seems like a long time since I’ve had a peaceful night’s sleep!
She balled up her fists and said under her breath, “Just a little sleep, even if it’s ten minutes.
Think of it as a ten-minute mini-vacation for yourself.
……..
“Barf!”
Suddenly a loud noise came from the window.
Nina Hua fiercely opened his eyes, his snowy eyes shining like cold stars.
In a low, quiet voice, “Who?”
As soon as the words died down, a shadow suddenly swished through the window.
She rolled over and climbed to her feet, and immediately went out in pursuit.
It was about seven o’clock in the evening, twilight, the lights were on, and there wasn’t much of a fall breeze in the courtyard.
She stood in the doorway, taking a wary look around.
Suddenly the eyes tightened!
r
I saw a snow-white kitten crouched under the window, dripping wet, as if it had just been pulled out of the water by someone!
However, it wasn’t raining today, and she didn’t remember any ponds around here.
After a moment’s hesitation, she eventually walked over to the kitten and picked it up.
The cat was very soft and softly called in her arms.
“Meow~”
She laughed suddenly.
Quite a cute little cat.
Closing the door instead, she carried the white cat out to the courtyard.
From a distance, I saw Kepler sitting in the car, one hand on the window, the sleeves of his white shirt pulled up, exposing half of his arm, looking casual.
A little surprised to see her come out with a cat, “Where did you get that?”
Nina Hua smiled slightly, “Found it in the courtyard, isn’t it cute?”
Probably all men don’t feel anything for such animals, and he took a calm aim and said, “Not really.”
Nina Hua glared at him.
Then ignoring his displeased look, he grabbed the cat and got into the passenger seat.
The cat was covered in water, so Nina Hua asked Kepler to find a clean towel in the boot and give it a fine wipe.
Very patient!
The man is even more unhappy.
But at this moment, the little white cat stood up from Nina Hua’s lap and shook all over.
There was a splash of water.
Kepler’s eyes suddenly seemed to be spitting fire.
Angry, “Dirty!”
The little white cat stretched his paws at him and meowed as if to retort.
Nina Hua was overjoyed.
The car started and eased off the trail.
Leave.
It was eight o’clock in the evening when they returned to the villa, and Nina Hua handed over the little white cat to the maid and asked him to take care of it, then watched the child for a while before going upstairs to rest.
When I woke up the next morning, I saw the man standing in front of the bed.
His voice was cold, and he said, “Leave for the resort at 8:00 tomorrow and accompany me on some business!”
Afterwards, turn around and leave.
Nina Hua was stunned in place, taking most of the day to react.
To the resort?Just the two of them?
She was confused and wanted to ask for more clarification, but the man had turned away without giving her a chance.
The next morning.
Nina Hua followed Kepler to the prestigious celebrity resort near Jiang Cheng.
It was ten in the morning when we arrived at the lodge on the two-hour drive.
Kepler had booked the presidential suite, and after they dropped off their luggage, Kepler went to change his clothes.
The white leisure suit he wore when he left the house this morning was now replaced by a black formal suit, his hair neatly slicked back to reveal a shiny forehead, and he looked sharp.
As he clasped his watch, he asked, “I’m having a lunch party, do you want to come with me?”
Nina Hua immediately shook his head, “I’m not going.”
As if he had anticipated her answer, Kepler looked askance at her, pointed to the phone in the living room, and said: “Then you stay later and call the room department to order food, I’ll be back around three in the afternoon, before that, don’t wander around.Got it?”
Nina Hua nodded his head in a row.
With that he picked up his jacket and walked out.
As soon as Kepler left, Nina Hua felt much more at ease, and after walking around the house, he found a small garden on the balcony, and a small hot spring pool in the garden, big enough to accommodate five or six people, the pool was cleaned and cleaned, and only needed to be drained, so it could be used immediately.
She had gotten up early today and was feeling a little sleepy, seeing that she had immediately turned the water on and stored up a whole half pool of water, then went back to her room to change into a swimming costume, which is how she soaked her body in.
Chapter 449
Her skin touched the warm water and her pores opened slowly all over her body, so she closed her eyes and sighed softly, Comfort!
I’ve been soaking for over half an hour and I’m feeling a little hungry.
So get up, go back to your room, change clothes, and call to order.
Lunch was served quickly.
She had never been very particular about food and was sitting in the living room eating her meal when suddenly, the phone rang.
She looked around and realized it was a landline in the hotel and picked it up to answer it.
The front desk lady’s pleasant voice sounded, “Hello, is this Mr. Ji?”
Nina Hua was stunned, chopsticks still in his hand, and said, “He’s not here now, what’s the matter?”
“Hello, it’s like this, there’s a Miss Li downstairs who claims to be a friend of Mr. Shen’s and wants to see him, could you please tell him for me?”
Nina Hua opened his mouth in shock and dropped his chopsticks on the table with a barf.
Half a ring.
“Hello?Hello, are you still there?”
She was busy picking up the chopsticks, her voice slightly panicked.
“Uh, Kepler he’s out and won’t be back until this afternoon.Tell you what, you tell her to come right up!”
“Well, yes!”
The phone hung up.
For a long time, Nina Hua was in a state of shock.
A friend of Kepler?
He actually had female friends, why hadn’t she heard of them?
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
She even put down her chopsticks and walked over to the door.
I have to say that the moment the door was opened was a bit of a stunner.
I saw the woman in front of me in a long white lace dress, black hair hanging straight down to her waist, a thin figure, fair skin, although not exquisite features, but full of a gentle and serene beauty, all exuding a strong atmosphere of book literature.
It’s not wildly harsh, but it’s instantly likable.
“You are the wife of Kepler?”
She smiled softly and extended her hand towards her, “Hello, my name is Li Manxin, I’m a friend of Kepler.”
Rinku?
The first time he heard someone call Kepler that way, Nina Hua was slightly stunned, then he even stretched out his hand to shake hers, his smile a little short, “Hello.”
Li Manxin tilted her head to look into the house and asked, “Where’s Kepler?”
“He’s out on business and won’t be back until this afternoon.”
Nina Hua suddenly remembered that the two of them were still standing at the door, and even staggered away to let her in, smiling, “Come in first and sit down for a while.”
Lee Mansin nodded and entered the house.
The house was a bit of a mess, there were towels she hadn’t had time to clean up after using them to wipe her hair after the hot spring, as well as the slippers that Kepler had gone out to change into and later accidentally kicked into disarray, and there was a half-eaten takeaway on the table.
Seeing Li Manxin checking out the house, Nina Hua was embarrassed.
Even asked, “Have you eaten yet?If not, do you need me to order for you?”
Lee Mansin shook her head and smiled gently, “No, thank you!”
After a pause, I added, “I’m not well, and I’ve always been forbidden to eat out at home.”
Nina stiffened.
Looking at the simple dishes on the table, I was somehow upset.
Li Manxin, however, seemed to be unaware of it, and only saw him walking back and forth in the room, touching the clothes on the shelves and flipping through the books on the case, just like a familiar face.
Nina Hua frowned and leaned against the door, his eyes growing colder by the second.
She’s a little confused about what’s going on with this woman, knowing her relationship with Kepler, yet she’s still putting on such a show here!
Look.
What do you mean?Forced?
Half-heartedly, she finally couldn’t resist and cleared her throat, coughing.
“Well… do you want to call him first?”
She guessed that Seasonal Advent wouldn’t like someone viewing the room he lived in like he was in a zoo.
Lee Mansin lifted her head and smiled gently at her.
“No, Progeny doesn’t like to be disturbed when she’s working.”
Nina choked for a moment.
Suddenly, how come there was a feeling that she and Kepler were the only couple?
But in the end, people didn’t really say anything, and if you use this as an example, it would be petty again.
Nina Hua looked at her with a lot of anger, feeling bored, and was about to turn around and leave, but then was suddenly called by Li Manxin.
“I heard you’re from Visterdem?”
Nina Hua turned back and looked at her.
Lee Mansin smiled, a smile that had always been gentle and harmless, perhaps because she really wasn’t well, and her skin had a vaguely unnatural pallor to it.
Gently, he said, “It so happens that I just came back from Visterdem last week and brought some of its special flavors, do you want them?”
Nina Hua pursed his lips.
“No, we’ve been eating those things since we were kids, so we don’t care about them anymore, but you, since you don’t go often, keep them to yourself.”
Her tone was a little cold.
Li Manxin, however, seemed not to care and said: “You are too polite, you are Kepler’s wife, he is my friend, so you are also my friend, why are you so foreign?I’ll have some sent over tomorrow.”
Nina Hua silently tugged at the corners of his mouth, not refusing anymore.
The house fell silent.
After a quick look around the bedroom, Lee Mansin looked at the time and looked a little regretful.
After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, “Kepler hasn’t returned yet, are you going to stay in the room and wait for him?”
Nina Hua nodded.
She didn’t want to stay in the room waiting for Kepler, but for some reason, she somehow didn’t want to tell the woman her true feelings.
Li Manxin suddenly laughed, “How about this!I heard there’s a personal painting exhibition going on at the lodge, it’s noon and there should be very few people, would you like to take a look?”
A painting exhibition?
She had little interest, so she simply declined.
“No, I’m not interested in that.”
Li Manxin was not disappointed and said, “Okay!Actually, I came today mainly because I heard that Kepler was here and wanted to come see him, but since he’s not here…”
She smiled helplessly, “I’ll have to go first then.”
Nina Hua finally smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, “Okay, slow down.”
Li Manxin walked to the door, suddenly hesitated again, and finally took out an invitation card and handed it to Nina Hua.
“I have an art world y here tonight, could you please pass this invitation card to Progeny for me?”
Nina Hua received it, only to see a few English words written on it in dragons and phoenixes, too scribbled to barely read the contents, but I had to admit, it was very artistic and aesthetically pleasing.
Nodding her head, she said, “Yeah, no problem.”
“Thank you, then.”
Witnessing Li Manxin leave, Nina Hua closed the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dropping the invitation card on the table, she found that the food was cold and she had no desire to continue eating, so she casually cleaned up and went back to her room to rest.
I slept through the afternoon.
Until Kepler returned.
Nina Hua’s sleep had always been shallow, so she was awakened with a start when the outer door clicked softly.
