Chapter 317 News about Li Hailun
My point is simple: make King Lu absolve himself of lust.
At such an advanced age, still doing this is like an old man eating poison—it's courting death!
"Thirteen, there are some things that are beyond my control!" Fourth Aunt said after a long silence.
"Sister Ling, the boss's health can't take this much!" Fatty Lin added.
"I know all of that!"
Fourth Wife waved her hand somewhat irritably.
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, I wasn't angry with you two!"
Noticing her tone was off, Fourth Wife softened it, saying, "You all know my situation. If I don't appease the boss, I can't maintain the status quo!"
"Sister Ling, we know you're not being kind to us, but the boss is getting old and his body can't take it anymore. Please be careful during this time, and let me know immediately if there are any changes!" I said.
"Thirteen, I'll be troubling you from now on!" Fourth Aunt sighed and patted my arm.
"Sister Ling, what's the trouble? Without you, we wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong!" Fatty Lin said.
"Alright, you've all had a long day. Go back and rest early. I'll call you if I need anything!" Fourth Wife nodded and didn't say anything more.
We all understand what the fourth wife meant. She allowed Stanley Lui and that nurse to have an affair in order to gain Stanley Lui's favor and take the initiative in order to compete with the second wife.
Gambling King Lu was aware of this, which is why he acted somewhat recklessly.
What I don't understand is, at his age, why doesn't he know how to cherish his health?
Despite his considerable wealth, Stanley Ho was never accepted by the mainstream in Hong Kong.
What is mainstream?
It's those major families and those few people on the rich list.
Why not accept it?
Because Lui, the gambling king, made his fortune through gambling, they felt that his money was unclean and unworthy of being at their table.
It's really just a small clique sticking together. How many of those big families are clean? Aren't they the financial backers of all those triads in Hong Kong?
Now that they've made it ashore, they look down on Gambling King Lui. In reality, they're all cut from the same cloth.
In particular, some families have ancestors who were compradors and did all sorts of things!
This is also the main reason why Lu the gambling king wanted to find Wang Sanmu to extend his life. If he were accepted by the mainstream, those people would have to find him a guru to extend his life!
Back at Fenglin Hall, I cooked a pot of medicinal cuisine for Fatty Lin and called the restaurant next door to order a few dishes.
"You're crazy! Men are boys until they die; the older they get, the more they want to prove themselves. The gambling king was infatuated with that Shi Shi because he found a sense of existence in her!"
"Other women, such as the fourth, third, and second wives, could not serve the gambling king like Shi Shi did. They were more interested in gaining benefits from him. Under such circumstances, the gambling king could not find a sense of existence in them!"
After taking a bite, Fatty Lin began to analyze.
"Fatty, you're really something else! You've got a deep understanding of this stuff!" I said.
"No, you lunatic, are you praising me or insulting me?" Fatty Lin asked, glancing at me sideways.
"Of course I'm praising you!" I said.
"You little brat, you're always hiding something!"
Fatty Lin picked up a sea cucumber, put it in his mouth like he was eating a carrot, and mumbled something at me.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, alright?" I focused my attention on the food and ignored him.
Because Fatty Lin is right.
The gambling king's doting on the nurse Shi Shi was indeed based on this consideration.
He doesn't feel like a man when he's around other people.
After the meal, instead of resting, we organized the gift accounts.
During the Chinese New Year, many people came to give gifts.
For example, the Yu family, the Medicine King; Huang Dacheng; Jingu—we brothers tallied up all these New Year's gifts, and after tallying them up, we had to give them back as gifts.
Our return gift was simple: my exclusive tonic.
Those who come to give gifts are all wealthy, so there's no need to return anything too expensive. My exclusive tonic is just right.
The next few days were spent exchanging gifts.
On the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Hailun arrived.
"Sister Helen, did you come here this time with news?"
None of the three of us expected that Helen Li would come in person.
"We've received news!"
Li Hailun nodded.
"Is today the fifteenth?" I said.
"It's because it's the fifteenth that that bitch Zhang Piaopiao went to see that old bastard!" Li Hailun said through gritted teeth.
"Why?" I asked, puzzled.
"That bitch Zhang Piaopiao went to bother Xiaohu again this morning. Xiaohu didn't give her a friendly look, and she left crying. Just now, Coco called me and said that the old man answered a phone call and kicked her out. She said that the call was from that bitch Zhang Piaopiao!"
Li Hailun said.
"Helen, has Coco become your informant?" Fatty Lin asked.
"That's right!"
Li Hailun nodded and said, "Coco wasn't a good person to begin with. She was only with that old man for his money. Ever since that bitch Zhang Piaopiao got together with that old man, he's clearly not as nice to her as before. She hates Zhang Piaopiao even more than I do. I spent tens of thousands of yuan to bribe her!"
"Shall we go now or wait a while?" I asked.
"We'll go in a bit. Coco's keeping watch there. Zhang Piaopiao's gone; she'll call me!" Li Hailun said.
"Helen, shall we go catch them in the act? Is Tiger coming?" I asked.
"Go!" Li Hailun nodded.
"Where will he meet us?" I asked.
"He's sitting in his car, too embarrassed to come up!" Li Hailun said.
"Let me go take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin walked to the window and peered down.
After glancing at it twice, he turned around and said, "Some things you just have to face. Just take it easy!"
"Sigh, Xiaohu has long since come to terms with it. If it weren't for the child, he would have divorced long ago!" Li Hailun sighed.
"This can't go on forever," said Fatty Lin.
"Let's take it one step at a time!" Li Hailun said with a hint of helplessness.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Li Hailun's phone rang.
She glanced at it and said, "Coco!"
After she finished speaking, she answered the phone.
"Okay, I understand, we'll be right there!"
After exchanging a few words, Li Hailun hung up the phone and said, "That bitch Zhang Piaopiao is gone, let's go!"
"good!"
I nodded, my excitement beyond words. This was much more interesting than staying at home watching the gala.
We visited Xie Laosi's place once, and it was during that visit that we discovered something was wrong with Zhang Piaopiao.
After we went downstairs and got into Li Hailun's car, Xie Xiaohu saw us and looked a little embarrassed, but he still greeted us, after all, we had saved him.
We didn't say anything, just greeted each other normally. It was his wife who was having an affair, so it was a bit awkward.
