Chapter 28 Marriage Alliance
"Stop shaking me! Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd taken some kind of drug!"
I clinked glasses with Fatty Lin. This guy gets really excited about himself, especially in his areas of expertise.
"roll!"
Fatty Lin took a swig of his drink and said, "Crazy, let me tell you, the entertainment industry is a deep and murky place. You can't handle it. I'm here to help you figure it out!"
"Yes, yes, I can't handle it!"
"Why are you pouting? Why do you think I know so much about the Hong Kong entertainment circle?" Fatty Lin picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, glared at me with his small eyes, and then stuffed the meat into his mouth.
"Why?" I asked.
"My grandpa once saved a rich second-generation from Hong Kong. All those Hong Kong tabloids and Dragon Tiger Leopard magazines that I collect were given to me by him!" Fatty Lin said.
As soon as I finished speaking, I opened a bottle of wine, handed it to him, and said, "Fatty, you'd better punish yourself. You know very well how much money you swindled from me with those tabloids and magazines all those years ago!"
"I was stupid enough to believe you bought it at a high price, did you ever give me a single accurate answer?"
"It was indeed my fault, but didn't you go to the second floor of the Grand Fortune Hotel too?" Fatty Lin took the wine and downed it in one gulp.
"How dare you mention a tycoon? If it weren't for you, would I be getting whipped by my grandpa with a belt?"
Just thinking about it makes me angry. Did I pay to be beaten up?
"It's like I didn't get a beating from my grandpa!"
Fatty Lin let out a burp and said, "Crazy, let's not dwell on the past. Even if we don't talk about the second brother, have you forgotten how you tricked that young girl and got poisoned?"
"Let's not talk about this, we're still good brothers!" My expression changed instantly.
This is the greatest shame of my life.
When I was in middle school, I liked to subscribe to magazines, such as "Zhiyin" and "Mengya". These magazines had a reader friendship section.
For a while, it was fashionable to have pen pals, and I followed the trend by randomly choosing a girl as my pen pal.
Back then, I was forced by my grandfather to memorize medical texts and recognize acupoints while studying. Occasionally, I had to observe my grandfather treating those mentally unstable people with yin deficiency. It was a very miserable experience.
After becoming pen pals, I confided in that girl and told her everything.
As they chatted, their feelings deepened, they exchanged headshots, and agreed to go to the same university in the future, which had a hint of a secret engagement.
That was the purest and truest time of my life.
To my surprise, after exchanging photos, I started to feel unwell, developing a fever, vomiting, and excessive sleepiness.
My grandfather didn't pay attention at first, but later he realized something was wrong and took me to Lin Pangzi's grandfather. After the two old men consulted on the case, they both agreed that I had been cursed.
It took me more than half a month to fully recover.
After I recovered, the two old men and I reviewed the situation together and finally discovered that the problem lay in the letter.
The key point is that the other party didn't use a love potion on me. If it had, I wouldn't have had any reaction in a short period of time.
After I learned all this, I wrote to the other party like a madman, demanding an answer. But as soon as I sent out the letters, they disappeared without a trace, like stones sinking into the sea.
In summary, I treat you with sincerity, but you play mind games with me.
The reason I went up to the second floor of the Grand Fortune Hotel with Fatty Lin was partly because he used this incident to provoke me, saying that sincerity could only lead to being bewitched, but two hundred yuan could buy me royal service.
In a fit of pique, I went upstairs to the second floor with Fatty Lin.
"I won't tell! I won't tell!"
Fatty Lin opened another bottle of beer and said, "I was wrong, I'll punish myself with one!"
After saying that, he did it.
"You madman, be careful of Hua Laosan. People like him don't have any sense of gratitude. He's only flattering you now because you're useful!"
After finishing, Fatty Lin's expression turned serious, and he started talking to me about Boss Hua.
"I know!" I nodded.
"You know nothing!"
Fatty Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Crazy, let me tell you, that rich second-generation from Hong Kong is actually the illegitimate son of a powerful family, and he knows a lot about the upper echelons of Hong Kong!"
"What does this have to do with flowers?"
I asked.
"Guangfu is so close to Hong Kong Island, the Hua family has already expanded to Hong Kong Island!" Fatty Lin said.
"Isn't this normal?" I said.
"Yes, that's normal, but the Hua family has formed a marriage alliance with a major family in Hong Kong!" Fatty Lin continued.
"It's normal for marriage alliances to happen; those big families like to do these things!" I still didn't care.
"It's not that we can't have marriage alliances, but shouldn't we choose those that are close to our mainland?" Fatty Lin said indignantly.
"Stop talking nonsense, which family did you marry into?" I asked.
"You lunatic, do you even know which major families are in Hong Kong?"
Fatty Lin didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.
"Of course we know! Who doesn't know the four great families!"
I started counting on my fingers. Besides these four major families, there were also gambling king families and several shipping magnate families.
"These are just things that certain forces want you to see!" Fatty Lin snorted.
"Stop being coy and keeping me in suspense, just say what you have to say!" I glared at Fatty Lin.
"What's wrong? You're making a million a year now, looking down on me? You won't even let me show off anymore?" Fatty Lin scoffed, giving me a disapproving look.
"Fatty, Fatty, I was wrong, okay? I'll punish myself!" I immediately poured myself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
"I'll punish myself with a bottle, and you punish yourself with a cup, how impressive!" Fatty Lin scoffed.
"Oh dear, it seems like there's a new user on Kongmei.com. Let me see the photos they sent!"
I ignored him, slowly took out my phone, and said in a pretentious manner.
"Brother, brother, let your younger brother see too!"
Fatty Lin immediately put on a smiling face and came closer.
I glanced at him and slammed my phone down.
Having no other option, Fatty Lin said, "I'll punish myself, I'll punish myself, okay?"
After saying that, he downed another bottle.
"Anything else?" I still didn't give a straight answer.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?!"
Fatty Lin immediately begged for mercy.
"Look at you, so useless!" I said, pointing at him.
"When have I ever been successful, buddy!" Fatty Lin smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Those who are most deeply rooted in Hong Kong aren't actually the big families that are on the surface, but rather some Jewish families!"
"The assets of the top You families are no less than, and may even exceed, those of the four major families!"
"For example, the Peninsula Hotel, the most famous hotel on Hong Kong Island, is an asset of the Yok family!"
Hearing this, I sensed something was amiss and said, "Wait, you're not telling me this because you're thinking of telling me that the Hua family's marriage partner is the You family, are you?"
"hehe!"
Fatty Lin smiled, said nothing, picked up his cup, clinked it against mine, and then drank by himself.
"Really?" I was still a little skeptical.
"Would I lie to you about this?" Fatty Lin rolled his eyes.
