Chapter Thirty-Eight: Silly Zhu and Lou Xiaoe(1/2)
When Lou Xiaoe and Luo Bing arrived, the two children Jingguo and Jingtai had already calmed down their excitement. However, what surprised Suning was that Jingguo and Jingtai were not too close to Lou Xiaoe.
Recalling that Lou's mother had just explained that Jingguo and Jingtai had been raised by their parents since childhood, Suning guessed that Lou Xiao'e rarely interfered with the children's affairs.
Suning also understands this very well. After all, it only took Lou Xiaoe more than ten years to turn Jingzhu Group into a market value of 10 billion. Even with the detailed information she provided, one can imagine the hardships involved.
Besides, now that Lou Xiaoe and Luo Bing have formed a new family, and we are all adults, there is no need to worry about less important things.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Suning standing next to her child. Lou Xiao'e unconsciously wanted to call out "brother", but after thinking about it, she finally didn't call out and just stood there a little embarrassed.
Luo Bing also noticed the embarrassment in the air, and immediately extended his hands to Suning with a smile, "Hello, Mr. He! I am Luo Bing! Lou Xiao'e's husband!"
"Hello! I'm He Yuzhu!" Suning simply smiled and did not extend his hands in the same way.
Seeing that Suning did not shake hands with him, Luo Bing looked embarrassed. The reason why Suning was unwilling to shake hands with him was because the relationship between the two was not a relay race between the predecessor and the current one, and he did not want to be squeezed by Luo Bing.
Shake hands, and then say "Hello, senior!"
In order to break the so-called embarrassment and relieve Lou Xiao'e's psychological burden, Suning suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao'e, long time no see!"
"Ah...Long time no see!" Lou Xiao'e still didn't have the courage to shout out "Brother".
"Xiao'e, I also got married in the capital!
Now I have five children in Beijing!"
"Ah? Five? So many!"
"Haha, Xiao'e, Luo Bing, I came to Hong Kong this time to bring Jingguo, Jingtai, and their grandparents back to live in the capital. Do you two have any objections?"
"Ah? Why?
Hong Kong’s living standards and educational environment are much better than those in Beijing now!
I don’t think there’s any need to go back and forth!”
"Well! Xiao'e, what you said makes sense!
It’s just that living standards and educational environment are not absolute!
Beijing also has many advantages that Hong Kong does not have, and Beijing is more suitable for retirement than Hong Kong!
You know, my uncle and aunt are used to living in the capital. They have been living in Hong Kong for more than ten years, and they are not very happy!"
"This... Mom and Dad, what do you think?" Lou Xiao'e knew that what Suning said made sense, and then looked at her parents.
"Xiao'e, what Zhuzi said makes sense!
Our family is from the north and we really can’t adapt to life in Hong Kong!
Chinese people are all about returning to their roots when a leaf falls. Your mother and I are too old to be able to help you at all!
Just go back to the capital with Zhuzhu and his son!"
After hearing their father's thoughts, Lou Xiao'e and Luo Bing looked at each other helplessly and agreed.
...
Suning didn't plan to stay too long when she came to Hong Kong this time, so after dinner, Lou Xiao'e started packing her parents and children's luggage, because Suning said she would rush back to the capital the day after tomorrow.
Suning was arranged to stay in the guest room of the Lou family. Jingguo and Jingtai wanted to get closer to Lou Xiaoe. After all, they would return to the capital with Suning the day after tomorrow.
Lying in bed alone, Suning could not fall asleep. Looking at the branches blowing in the summer wind outside the window, ripples appeared in her heart. She thought about how her relatives in the first five worlds lived after she left.
At this time, a knock on the door interrupted Suning's random thoughts. Suning opened the door in confusion and saw Luo Bing standing outside the door with a smile.
“Zhuzi, it’s not easy for you to come to Hong Kong!
I’ll take you out to see Hong Kong’s nightlife.”
"Haha, okay!
When I was in Beijing, I often heard from my friends that Hong Kong has a rich nightlife!"
"Haha, let's leave now!"
Luo Bing took Suning to Lou's garage, chose a Mercedes and introduced it to Suning, saying, "This car is the S class model launched by Mercedes-Benz in 1972!
I heard that there will be better models launched next year, but you rarely see them in the mainland, right?"
"Haha! This is indeed the first time we've met!" Although Suning felt embarrassed, she was still quite supportive.
"Haha, Mercedes-Benz is not allowed in the mainland, otherwise I will give you one!"
"Haha, I understand your thoughts!"
Suning followed Luo Bing to Lan Kwai Fong in Central, and Luo Bing introduced it eloquently, "This is Lan Kwai Fong in Central, the center of Hong Kong's nightlife, and the busiest place in Hong Kong's nightlife!"
"..." Suning could only remain a loyal listener.
Luo Bing brought Suning to a bar with ease, and then said to the waiter who came forward, "Bring me a cocktail! Zhuzi, what about you?"
“Vodka on the rocks!”
Luo Bing looked at Suning in surprise. Unexpectedly, Suning was not embarrassed at all. He seemed to be more familiar with Lan Kwai Fong than he was. Thinking of Suning's first visit to Hong Kong, he realized that he was overthinking it, so he didn't take it seriously.
He took out one hundred Hong Kong dollars and handed it to the waiter.
“The rest is your tip!”
"Thank you, sir!" A cocktail is only 30 yuan, and the more expensive vodka is only 50 yuan, so the waiter will get a tip of 20 yuan.
Hearing the waiter's thanks to him, Luo Bing felt comfortable all over. Then he looked at Suning and explained with a smile, "Every time I order drinks here in Lan Kwai Fong, I pay for them right away, and sometimes I even give a tip!"
"Oh! That's it! I've learned a lot!"
"I see how you behave Zhuzhu. Do you often drink vodka?"
"No! I drank it in the capital before and it felt pretty good!" Suning said in response.
"Zhuzi, I'm really curious!
Why don't you shake my hand?
Is it because there is no such etiquette in the mainland?"
"Huh?" Suning looked at Luo Bing in surprise, who looked curious about the baby, and then realized that Luo Bing was also pretty.
"Handshaking is an international etiquette, and of course it is practiced in the Mainland as well!
It’s just that our relationship is really not suitable for shaking hands!”
"Not suitable?" Luo Bing became even more confused.
"Haha, let me tell you a little story first!" At this time, the waiter also brought their drinks.
"..." Luo Bing took a sip of the cocktail and looked at Suning in confusion.
"There is a middle-aged man who has accomplished nothing and is confused all day long!
The relationship with his wife also became as dull as water. In the end, he couldn't bear the boring days, so the middle-aged man chose to divorce!
After the divorce, the man tried all kinds of romantic encounters, but he became even more confused!
In the end, he figured everything out and found that his ex-wife was the best, so he went home and wanted to get back together with his wife!
But when he knocked on the door of his ex-wife's room, a strange man suddenly came out and shook hands with his ex-husband in surprise, "Hello, senior!"
"ah?"
"Luo Bing, the relationship between us is both complicated and simple, there is no need to get too entangled!
Lou Xiao'e is a good woman, I hope you can treat her well!"
"Zhuzi, I understand what you mean!
I will definitely do it!" Luo Bing finally understood what Suning meant, and then gave a solemn assurance.
At this time, a woman with heavy makeup twisted her waist and came to Luo Bing's side, "Brother Luo, why didn't you come to me when you came?"
Looking at Suning next to him, Luo Bing felt a little embarrassed, "Shawa, let me talk to my friend about something! I'll see you later!"
After hearing Luo Bing's explanation, the woman named Shawa stood up reluctantly, "Zhuzi, do you want me to call you a pretty one?"
"Forget it! You asked me out so late, maybe you have something important to talk about, right?
Luo Bing, if you have something to say, just tell me!"
"Huh? Zhuzi, you are so quick to talk!
You are so generous as northern men!"
"..." Suning ignored Luo Bing's compliment, and instead stared at him with a gradually cold face.
Feeling Suning's increasingly cold eyes, Luo Bing realized something at this time, and then quickly explained, "Zhuzi, you have been living in the capital!
So I don’t know how much hardship Xiao’e and I have put in for the development of the group over the years!”
"Then what?"
"Huh? Zhuzi, that's what I thought!
You have always lived in Beijing and have not had much interaction with Hong Kong at all!
So, I want to buy the shares from you!"
