"I can't bear to tell you that you want to get engaged until now, but I still take you as a good sister." outside the thunderstorm, Chu Xiaoxin's wife Lu Peiying huddled on the sofa in her bare feet and lazy blanket, in the basement projection room of a townhouse in Kennedy tunnel, Hong Kong Island, staring at the film being played on the screen, although her words were complaining, But there was no anger in his tone. It was more like he didn't believe what the other party said at all.
Although Lu Peiying was born in the Lu family, which is also a big family, the size of the Lu family is more reflected in its fame and status. In terms of money, she does not pay too much attention to money. Her life is westernized and she can pay attention to the comfort of life. She will not blindly pursue material enjoyment. This exaggerated entertainment project of transforming her basement into a luxury projection hall and film collection room has never appeared in the Lu family.
Tiffany came over with a plate of cut fruit in his hand and put it on the tea table next to the sofa. He inserted a red raisin with a toothpick and handed it to Lu Peiying. Then he sat down next to Lu Peiying. He reached out his hand to pick up a women's cigarette from the tea table and lit it. Then he looked at the film on the screen without making a sound.
After watching the film for a while, the woman around her didn't respond, only the sound of the film projector rotating the film. Lu Peiying took her eyes back from the screen and looked at her best friend: "Hey, don't you dislike me for coming to your house for the night, so you gave me an excuse to get engaged and get married. I'm going to know better in the future. Don't bother you if you're ok? As I said, ah Xin had dinner and drink with a good friend tonight. He agreed to get drunk and don't go home at night to avoid vomiting. I'm too bored at home alone, so I came to you to spend the night Time. "
"Why lie to you? You came to my house to eat and drink. Which time did you drive you out?" Tiffany curled his lips. "It's true."
"Really?" Lu Peiying suddenly came to her senses. She sat up straight, picked up the fruit tray, and asked the other party while sending fruit to Tiffany's mouth: "which pretty boy do you like? They all said that you have a high eye. You can't be a handsome young ghost professor from the University of Hong Kong?"
Tiffany looked at each other's sitting posture and frowned: "does your husband know that you are no different from a monkey in private? Be careful to be returned by others."
"You're in charge!" Lu Peiying stared at each other, then inserted a watermelon and handed it to Tiffany's mouth: "come on, take a bite, tell me how to pursue you?"
"I haven't even met." Tiffany vomited smoke, then bit the watermelon with his probe, looked up blankly and looked at the dark but always dark ceiling refracted by the light on the screen.
Lu Peiying looked at Tiffany blankly and didn't make a sound until Tiffany took back her eyes. Lu Peiying remained blankly. Tiffany smiled and said, "what's the matter?"
"Before my engagement, even if it was bad, I met my man, talked to him and inquired about him. Who can't even see him? It's not the Qing Dynasty!" Lu Peiying said: "didn't you say your father is very enlightened? He won't interfere in your marriage."
"There's always an accident, just like a movie." Tiffany looked at the movie being played on the screen. It was the American film "beyond the vortex": "in a family, how can you escape beyond the vortex."
"Who are you going to marry?" Lu Peiying was a little sad and patted Tiffany on the back. "Look open, just like me. There's nothing wrong with marrying ah Xin. It's too bad not to help find a husband at home. Feelings... Can also be cultivated slowly after marriage."
Tiffany removed the crystal ashtray of the tea table at hand, revealed a picture below and handed it to Lu Peiying: "well, you introduced a man before. You said his name was song TIANYAO. When I saw him, he said his name was Shi Gonghui."
Lu Peiying almost dropped the fruit plate, hurriedly put down the fruit plate, took the picture of Tiffany, ignored the film being shown, directly opened the table lamp on the tea table, and looked at the portrait in the picture through the light.
This is not a single portrait, but a group photo. The core position of the photo is occupied by three people. Chu Xiaoxin, Mrs. Beth and the governor's wife are just in the corner. Song TIANYAO stands near the edge of the photo and doesn't focus on the lens. Instead, he looks absently into the distance and frowns slightly, while song TIANYAO is painted a circle with a red pen on the photo.
"This is... This is the photo of Oxfam when Oxfam was founded. Ah Yao is the treasurer of Oxfam." Lu Peiying took back her eyes from the photo and looked at Tiffany: "it's ah Yao? Wow, isn't that good? Ah Yao's villa is adjacent to my house. If you want to find you again in the future, you don't have to let servants drive. You can walk directly for two minutes? His villa was selected by brother Xin and I for him. It's very good."
"When I met him, he said he was a trainee lawyer, and then his family opened an Anglo German western medicine pharmacy. Along with him was a female secretary surnamed Jiang, who claimed to be the person who helped him manage the pharmacy. He really seemed to be a six person table forced to go. He talked perfunctorily, but he had a good time. Maybe at that time, he didn't need to be too alert to a group of people who didn't have much intersection , I drank some wine and sang a song. If you hadn't introduced him in advance, maybe I really believed that his name was Shi Gonghui and that he was a trainee lawyer. "Tiffany took the picture, looked at it and said to Lu Peiying.
"How did you go around? Finally, even your father chose ah Yao? But speaking of it, ah Yao is a good man. He is affectionate and righteous. The most important thing is that he is smart enough to be praised by Uncle Zong, my father and uncle. You also know that it is difficult for my father to praise a person. His disciple lawyer Ji wants him to praise. He scolds him for raising his business and making more money After a meal, he said that he was too stupid to become a big tool, which made lawyer Ji almost depressed. However, when he praised ah Yao, my father was full of praise. While persuading the family to stay away from ah Yao, he praised ah Yao's boldness, meticulousness and steadiness. He used to boast about his ruthlessness, but now he has changed to steadiness. " It was said that song TIANYAO was the object of her best friend's engagement. Lu Peiying suddenly became interested and talked about the views of people around her on song TIANYAO. She hoped to help Tiffany give some detailed information to let her know more about song TIANYAO:
"When brother Xin talks about ah Yao, he is also elated. Every time he is drunk, he will mention ah Yao. He says that without ah Yao, he will not be today. He says that ah Yao is his lucky star. He will be brothers and friends with ah Yao all his life. Believe ah Yao can't be wrong. Wow, sometimes you won't believe it. I heard him say ah Yao. I can talk about making me jealous."
"Do you know what song TIANYAO did in exchange for these people praising him?" Tiffany threw the picture back to the tea table, turned off the lamp, plunged the room into darkness, continued to watch the film, and said in a faint tone: "I guess you don't know, but yes, I already know."
