After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 4
byChapter 4 Taking off
The first day at Daddy’s house
Going downstairs, the sun is dazzling.
A dark and shiny Rolls-Royce was parked quietly at the entrance of the alley, in stark contrast to the dirty and dilapidated tenement buildings.There is a shining golden flying goddess logo on the front of the car, which is priceless.
Li Chu took a breath, and his heart jumped. He was so rich, so rich, so rich!
Liang Wei took a few steps quickly and opened the back door for him in person, with a respectful gesture: “Master, please.”
Li Chu swallowed, bent down and got in.
The interior of the car smells faintly of leather and wood. The leather seats are wide and soft, and the embellished dark walnut wood trim panels are warm and delicate, with a deep luster under the sunlight.
Liang Wei was sitting in the passenger seat and glanced at him through the rearview mirror. The young master was good-looking, with a childlike innocence between his eyebrows and eyes that was not stained by the world.
As for whether the opponent is a pearl or a fish eye, it is not something that a person of his status can comment on.
Li Chu knew that the man named Liang was observing him, so he pretended not to know and turned his face to look at the scenery outside the window.
The car started smoothly and entered the busy avenue. The eye-catching red double-decker bus passed by and quickly disappeared in the crowded crowd and traffic.
The staggered neon signs on both sides of the street quickly receded, the blue Victoria Harbor slowly unfolded, and the sunlight jumped into tiny bits of gold on the sea.
The shadows of ferries, cargo ships and sails are like a few strokes in an oil painting.The car drove along the coastline for a while, then turned onto a winding mountain road and began to climb upward.
Li Chu was lying on the car window, with marks on his wrists. No matter how strong and calm he was, there was still uneasiness between his brows.
It’s getting more and more remote… It’s not like they dragged him to the mountains to kill people and bury their bodies.
The mountain road is winding, and the higher you go up, the fewer the mansions, and the more impressive they become.
The car drove to the top of the mountain, and the carved bronze doors silently opened to both sides, revealing a wide and flat private driveway.Walking around the huge European-style fountain, we finally stopped in front of a majestic white building.
Shao Mansion.
The doorman had opened his car door respectfully, and Liang Wei also got out of the car, standing by the door and bowing slightly: “Master, we are here. The old lady is waiting for you.”
Li Chu had actually started to back off.Who are the Shao family?The man in a suit just said a few words, and the fierce-looking Brother Sheng immediately changed into a flattering one.
When they find out that it was an own mistake, and he is not the so-called young master at all, how will it end?
“Well…” Li Chu stopped and smiled innocently: “I forgot some things at home. How about I go back to get them first and come back to see you, madam, another day?”
Liang Wei’s tone was gentle, but there was no room for negotiation: “The old lady is already waiting. If the young master needs anything, I can send someone to get it later.”
Li Chu had no choice but to give up and follow Liang Wei through the tall and empty foyer.
A giant crystal chandelier hangs from the dome, and across a screen, fresh pink peonies are in bloom.
Because the old lady liked the flowers flown back from Europe, she had to replace them with new ones every day.
“Why did Tingyue go to Europe for such a big deal? All he could think about was making money. Besides, if you found someone, why didn’t you bring him back to me immediately?”
Mrs. Shao was wearing a dark green Tang suit, and her well-maintained face showed that she was over seventy years old. She became angrier as she spoke, and patted the huanghuali wood armrest with her palms.
The old housekeeper and maid next to him quickly came forward and softly comforted him.
“Old madam, please calm down. The second young master must have his own considerations. Maybe he wants to wait until it is confirmed…” the old housekeeper said cautiously.
“Consideration? What consideration!” The old lady interrupted him, her chest rising and falling again, “I have been fasting every day recently, and the first thing I do in the morning is to go to the small Buddhist hall to worship the Queen of Heaven! How many times have I thrown away the Holy Grail? Every time it is the Holy Grail! The Queen told me clearly that if I can get it back this time, I will definitely get it back!”
The Shao family started by relying on port shipping, and the lifeblood of their ancestors has been tied to the unpredictable sea.Therefore, they believe in Mazu, who is in charge of maritime affairs and protects peace, that is, the Queen of Heaven.It is an unwritten rule of the Shao family to consult the Holy Grail before making any major decisions, and to ask the statue to sit on board a ship on a long voyage.
The servants had no choice but to calm her down and comfort her: “Old madam, you have just had a heart operation, so you should avoid emotional ups and downs. The return of the young master is a great joy. You should be happy slowly and don’t get too excited.”
“I look forward to it every day and think about it every night. The thoughts in my heart are almost gone… I just want to see Tingzhao’s flesh and blood with my own eyes in my lifetime…”
The ethical Hong Kong drama produced by TVB suddenly flashed in Li Chu’s mind. It seemed that the Shao family had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find this young master over the years.
Why yourself in the end?He began to doubt his memory a little. Could it be that he had passed through his soul?But there is obviously no change in appearance and figure.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Shao family covers the sky with one hand in Hong Kong Island. Will they find the wrong person casually?
Li Chu stood still, debating whether to confess or not. At this point, there was still room for turning back.
“Old madam, the young master is here.” Liang Wei signaled respectfully and stood aside silently.
Li Chu immediately felt Mrs. Shao’s hot gaze and subconsciously took a step back.
The old lady completely lost the momentum she had just cursed, and the jade beads in her hand fell to the ground. She was helped by the servants to stand up, staring at Li Chu’s face and murmuring: “It’s true that the Queen of Heaven has appeared. She has taken pity on me, an old woman. My good grandson… my good grandson… is my Shao family at first glance.”
Li Chu: “…”
Probably because of his hesitation, the old lady looked at him from head to toe with tears in her eyes.
The clothes on his body were washed white and his shoes were of rough workmanship. You can imagine the hard life he had lived outside these years.
The old lady couldn’t help but resent Limanni in her heart!That woman ran away as soon as something happened to Tingzhao, and took away their Shao family’s darling grandson!Let him wander for many years.
“My dear grandson is suffering outside… Why is he so thin? Come here and let grandma hug you.”
Li Chu pursed his lips and turned back to look at Liang Wei: “Are you really not mistaken?”
Liang Wei nodded slightly and replied: “I only follow the boss’s instructions. You are indeed the person we are looking for.”
…
Li Chu was hugged by the old lady and cried for half an hour, and then she took him to the small Buddhist hall to kneel down and pay her vows. Later, he was exhausted and was forced by the servant to go back to the room to rest.
The old lady cried until she was dizzy, but she did not forget to ask the housekeeper to arrange Li Chu’s room, and told him to do as he pleased. From now on, the Shao family will be his biggest supporter.
The old housekeeper responsible for taking care of the inside and outside of Shao Mansion was named Ming, and his servants all respectfully called him “Uncle Ming”.
He is an old man of the Shao family. He has witnessed the ups and downs of three generations of the Shao family, and he acts and speaks calmly and thoughtfully.
“Master Xiaochu.” Uncle Ming said with a gentle voice and a kind smile, “The old lady has asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of the mansion and see if your room arrangement is what you like.”
Li Chu nodded and followed him.
Uncle Ming introduced as he walked: “The east side of the main building leads to the banquet hall and tea room, and the southeast side is the formal living room and study room. The basement floor has a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a cigar room, as well as a fully equipped private cinema and fitness room.”
They walked through an arcade, and suddenly they saw a huge rectangular swimming pool in the center of the terrace overlooking the mountain and sea, sparkling in the sun, with comfortable lounge chairs and parasols placed around the pool.
“This is an open-air swimming pool, connected to the indoor constant-temperature swimming pool and gym.” Uncle Ming gestured, “If you are interested, you can use it at any time.”
The entire Shao Mansion occupies a very large area. In addition to the main building, there are also independent servant buildings and other ancillary facilities.
Li Chu had been poor for two lifetimes, and for the first time he experienced what it means to breathe the smell of money.
Especially after he’s been washing dishes for a month.
The small, dark, damp and greasy kitchen, the piles of plates and food scraps, and being pointed at the nose and scolded mercilessly when something was broken…
Walking around the main building, you can see the glass door of the side garage, with several graceful luxury cars parked inside.
Next to the garage is the pet room, where several giant dogs with unusually strong bodies and shiny coats are active in the yard.
Uncle Ming followed his gaze and explained: “Those are the guard dogs raised by the second young master. The breeds are Caucasian and Kangao. Young Master, if you see them during your daily walks, try not to get close or try to contact them. They…are relatively accommodating and only obey the instructions of the second young master and a few trainers.”
Li Chu felt his heart tremble upon hearing this and nodded.Giant dogs with this build are usually fed raw meat, and they are probably taller than an adult when they stand.
How could ordinary people keep such a dog at home?Could it be used to dispose of something?
“Master Xiaochu?”
“Ah?” Li Chu came back to his senses and found Uncle Ming looking at him with a smile, and whispered: “I’m sorry, it’s too big here, it’s dazzling.”
“I should apologize to the young master. I spoke too quickly. I hope you won’t be offended.”
Uncle Ming thinks this young master is quite interesting and may bring a lot of life to the dull Shao Mansion.
They walked slowly back to the main building and met many servants, all looking at Li Chu curiously.
“This is mainly the private living area for family members. There are three restaurants on the first floor. The old lady and the second young master usually eat in the small restaurant on the garden side.”
After walking up the spiral staircase to the third floor, Uncle Ming opened the door on one side and motioned for Li Chu to enter.
The room is large, and the overall furniture is in retro style, with a good texture.The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are connected to the spacious balcony, with excellent views.
“This room faces south, has good lighting, and has a broad view. The old lady personally selected it for you.”
Li Chu thanked her sincerely: “The room is very good, thank you Uncle Ming, and thank you… the old lady.”
Logically speaking, he should change his name to grandma, but Li Chu didn’t get used to it yet.The old lady didn’t force her, and said with tears in her eyes that it was good to have him by her side.
Uncle Ming bowed slightly and said, “As long as you are satisfied, young master. If you need anything in daily life, you can always ask me. Your clothes and some supplies will be delivered later.”
“…Okay.”
As soon as Uncle Ming left, Li Chu plopped down on the comfortable and soft big bed and rubbed his cheek against the silk feather-core pillow in disbelief.
Compared with the cramped pigeon house, this place is simply paradise!
Did you really just move in like this?No need to do a paternity test or something like that?Wait, if I remember correctly, there seems to be no DNA identification technology in this era.
Li Chu hugged the pillow and smelled the delicious cleaning fragrance on it, his eyelashes fluttering slightly.
What if… what if I am really the young master of the Shao family?
Li Chu shook his head vigorously. The Shao family was just stupid, but he knew it very well!
Now he is not only short of money, but also short of identity.
If you can obtain legal status through the Shao family, and then find a way to save some money… then leave.
[The author has something to say]
Get your wife here first!![rainbow fart][rainbow fart][rainbow fart]
Someone in the comment area brought up the discomfort with the dialogue at the end of the copy. I thought about it again and again and decided to mention it here.I personally think it is normal for couples to call each other this way, and since Gong is 12 years older than Shou, it is also normal for Daddy to call Xiaobao this way.Deyi means cute. Is it okay to praise Xiaobao for being cute???(Of course, of course, these are my personal thoughts and cannot represent the entire Cantonese-speaking area. I have written the article, so just let me do it! Kneel down gently.jpg)
All in all, before writing Hong Kong/Cantonese style articles, I have considered that I will encounter many voices.The editor also mentioned it, worried that I would be scolded or something like that.The author can only try to be as close to reality as possible and maintain a balance in the atmosphere of the novel.This is really unacceptable, I hope you guys will stop your losses in time!
There will be no further discussion on this issue!Happy reading!
Banxia novel, a lot of fun
