Chapter 2324
Woman Pursues Man
On the side of the road in the luxury residential area of Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong Island, a beautiful woman dressed in a revealing outfit stepped out of a convertible sports car.
A large French wide-brimmed hat was tilted on her head, obscuring half of her pretty face.
A pair of wide-rimmed sunglasses made it impossible to see the expression on her face.
If a girl like that appeared in a busy downtown area, she would probably be surrounded by a bunch of talent scouts.
The idea was to get her into a talent agency so that the scouts could get a hefty referral fee.
Of course, anyone with experience in the ways of the world would definitely keep their distance from this girl upon seeing her license plate number.
This is someone they can't afford to mess with.
No matter where you are in the underworld, you will definitely have a 'protective charm' in your hand.
Just like in Dream of the Red Chamber.
Inform the local community about who they shouldn't mess with.
The triads remembered the luxury cars registered under Lou Xiao'e and He Xinghua's names very clearly.
Car thieves who simply walk past those cars are often stopped, reprimanded, and warned by local gangs.
I'm afraid someone might lose their mind and cause trouble for the club.
This is a very simple statement, and later Hong Kong films have all ignored it.
But in reality, if one of He Xinghua's luxury cars were stolen in a certain community...
The local gangsters will definitely dig deep into the area, which will inevitably affect their shady businesses.
If you're unlucky enough to stumble upon some shady dealings, they'll be completely wiped out.
No one can afford that kind of loss.
Not to mention whether Lou Xiao'e might misunderstand and think it's a provocation from the gang...
Therefore, the wealthier a person is like Lou Xiao'e, the safer they are in Hong Kong Island.
The Hong Kong Thief King who appeared later had a formidable reputation in the underworld.
However, the timing was different; it was a time of transition between the old and the new, when the order between the underworld and the legitimate world in Hong Kong was in chaos.
Furthermore, even though he knew he would be exposed and face dire consequences after robbing those wealthy families, the bandit king didn't dare harm a single one of them.
People wouldn't dare touch a company like HUO's.
The Bao family's son-in-law also experienced something similar, and he was released safely while all the robbers were caught.
Why?
Because both of these companies started from the bottom of the industry and worked their way up step by step.
They are involved in various social relationships and have a certain degree of influence.
Those who become wealthy through capital operations or with the support of foreigners lack that kind of foundation.
Although Lou Xiao'e's business has not been established for long, it has been two generations of her family in Hong Kong.
Moreover, Lai Hongchang, whom she supported, has now cleaned up his act and become a councilor in a district of Hong Kong Island.
Such a successful example made those involved in gangs look at Lou Xiao'e with even higher regard.
Will we really get to eat meat if we follow Lou Xiao'e?
They can even clean up their act, get out of trouble, and become a superior person.
Those involved in gangs all want to become the next Lai Hongchang.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e and her son held a very special position in Hong Kong.
Even if it can't compare to HUO, it's not far off.
Of course, this refers to influence on Hong Kong Island.
It's completely incomparable to other Chinese communities.
The beautiful woman took off her sunglasses, revealing an oval face that exuded an air of wealth and status.
She glanced at the small villa hidden deep in the forest and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
One step wrong, step by step wrong.
Why did she give up halfway and want to study in América?
She originally thought that the wealthy man was still young and had no intention of finding a partner in the next few years, so she was thinking of going out to further her studies.
When she returns after completing her studies, she will be able to share the same values as him, who also studied in América…
Unexpectedly, it was intercepted halfway through.
The key point is that the girl who intercepted the deal was the one who led the way to meet He Xinghua.
This infuriated Xiaoqiong, but she was helpless to do anything about it.
She knew what her family's situation was.
Her family is based in both Hong Kong and Macau, so no one dares to mess with her.
However, in the true upper class of both places, the younger generation could play with her, but when it came to marriage, very few people were willing to marry her.
Her father's path to wealth limited many of her possibilities.
Besides, her mother wasn't the legal wife.
Therefore, He Xinghua, who was not born into a legal family and had a clean family background, was the best candidate for her.
At least He Xinghua is Lou Xiao'e's only son, and all of Lou Xiao'e's businesses will definitely be handed over to him in the future.
It's better than marrying into a wealthy family where the eldest son isn't the legitimate heir, and you have to be mindful of the eldest son's wishes even for food and drink...
In other words, she was aware of her background, which is why she wanted to work hard for herself.
Just like this time when she came back from América, the first thing she thought of was to have a small get-together with He Xinghua.
But He Xinghua has always been quite busy, constantly on the go.
Summer vacation is almost over.
She finally found an opportunity to call He Xinghua, which led to this visit.
She opened her handbag and put the sunglasses inside.
She took out a makeup mirror and did some more grooming in front of her beautiful face.
When I reached into the handbag, I also felt two small pockets.
Her pretty face flushed red.
The small bag had the word "Durex" on it, serving as the last line of defense for intimacy between men and women.
She arranged to meet He Xinghua privately.
He Xinghua also instructed her to move directly to a private mansion under his name.
This gave Xiaoqiong hope.
If they can take down He Xinghua, then given her father's status in the underworld, getting He Xinghua to acknowledge the debt shouldn't be too difficult.
At worst, she can be the head of the household, and Xiaoqian can be the mistress.
What she wanted wasn't love, but security, the protection the He family could offer her.
It's normal for Xiaoqiong to have this kind of thinking now.
Her father's business is now a dangerous one, and he might be swept away by the next generation at any time.
She straightened her chest, mustered her courage, and then, swaying her hips, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
"Hello, who is this?" a lazy male voice rang out from inside the house.
Xiaoqiong couldn't help but cover her chest, afraid that her heart would jump out of her chest from excitement.
……
The door clicked open a crack.
He Xinghua inside told her to go directly to the swimming pool in the backyard.
This made Xiaoqiong's face feel hot.
She never expected that the gentle and refined young man would become so direct.
The thought of mandarin ducks playing in the water is enough to make one blush.
However, when she approached the backyard and heard the cheerful laughter coming from inside, her heart sank.
She recognized the girl's sweet, innocent voice.
So He Xinghua invited her here not because he wanted to spend time with her alone.
This means that everything she was thinking was just her imagination.
Everything is fake.
However, she comes from a wealthy family, so she still needs to maintain a certain level of decorum.
She forced a smile to make herself appear natural.
She took a step forward, then smiled at the girl lying on the beach chair, playfully fighting with He Xinghua, and said, "I heard your laughter, Xiaoqian, back in Central..." (End of Chapter)
