Chapter 327 [Wind Chaser 26]
Lin Qiaosong has been determined to become a superior person and bring honor to his family since he was a child, but fate always seems to like to play tricks on him. Despite his hard work, he has never been able to achieve his wish, and has repeatedly become the "scapegoat" of Kang Shaojie. Now, he has been dismissed from his job and is extremely depressed.
Feeling disheartened, Lin Qiaosong decided to leave Shanghai, the land that broke his heart. So he bought two tickets to fly to Singapore the next morning, hoping to leave with his lover Song Meijuan and start a new life.
However, Lin Qiaosong's heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. On the one hand, he was confused and afraid of the future; on the other hand, he was looking forward to rising again in a foreign country and realizing his dream.
Lin Qiaosong took Song Meijuan back home and prepared to pack their luggage to leave, but when they opened the door, they were surprised to find Kang Shaojie sitting in the living room.
Kang Shaojie looked at them expressionlessly as they walked in, then said indifferently, "Lin Qiaosong, I hope you can stay here and help me run the opium business. As long as you are willing to stay, I will give you a luxury apartment and a considerable salary in return."
Lin Qiaosong knew very well that Kang Shaojie was a ruthless person who would go back on his words. If he really accepted his proposal, he would probably not end up well in the future. So he shook his head without hesitation to refuse.
However, at this moment, Kang Shaojie suddenly gave an order, and Wen Biao quickly walked behind Song Meijuan with a pistol in his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun tightly against her temple. Faced with this sudden change, Song Meijuan was terrified and her face turned pale in an instant.
Despite this, Lin Qiaosong remained firm and refused to compromise. He stared at Kang Shaojie with wide eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't try to threaten me! Even if you kill both of us, I will never follow your orders!"
Kang Shaojie sneered at this and said viciously: "Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, then you should drink a forfeit! Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being rude!" Then he slandered Song Meijuan for having connections with the Red Army, and put a false accusation of "Red Party" on her, threatening to execute her immediately as a warning to the public.
Not only that, Kang Shaojie also brazenly claimed that the opium business actually belonged to the high-level government of Nanjing. Lin Qiaosong hated this kind of corruption and was unwilling to go along with it. But the situation was pressing and Kang Shaojie was a difficult character, so Lin Qiaosong had no choice but to succumb to his tyranny for the time being.
……
At this time, Niu Chunmiao arrived in the bustling Shanghai by train. When she stepped out of the train station, she caught a thief reaching for the wallet of a mother and her son. However, Niu Chunmiao did not panic or shout, but acted calmly.
She quietly approached the thief, snatched the wallet back in her hands at lightning speed, and quickly returned it to the unaware mother and son. The thief was stunned by this sudden change, but soon came to his senses and rushed towards Niu Chunmiao in anger, trying to take back the lost property by force.
Facing the aggressive thief, Niu Chunmiao showed no fear. She stood straight and firmly, with justice shining in her eyes. Not only that, she also shouted bravely, attracting the nearby police. The thieves were immediately timid when they saw this, knowing that they could not fight against the law enforcement officers, so they could only flee the scene in disgrace.
Niu Chunmiao's action won praise and applause from the people around her, and everyone expressed their admiration and praise for this brave and fearless woman. The mother and son were even more grateful and remembered Niu Chunmiao's life-saving grace in their hearts.
Niu Chunmiao had been engaged to Wei Ruolai since she was a child. This time, she traveled thousands of miles from her hometown in distant Jiangxi to the bustling city of Shanghai just to be with her future husband, Wei Ruolai.
When Niu Chunmiao first stepped into this strange city, she was amazed by the scene in front of her: tall buildings, noisy traffic, flashing neon lights... All of this made this girl from the countryside feel extremely novel and shocked. She stared with wide eyes, looking left and right, as if she wanted to take in every corner of the city.
After many twists and turns, Niu Chunmiao finally found the central bank building in the city center. As she was standing at the door hesitating, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking over. It turned out that Wei Ruolai was just coming to work. Niu Chunmiao was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She cheered excitedly and ran towards Wei Ruolai like a happy little bird, shouting, "Gouguzi."
Wei Ruolai was surprised and delighted to see Niu Chunmiao, but out of shyness and embarrassment, he tried to break free from Niu Chunmiao's tight embrace. However, Niu Chunmiao had no intention of letting go. She hugged Wei Ruolai tightly and refused to let go, with tears of joy and happiness in her eyes, "Gou Guzi, it turns out that you really work in the central bank like your father said."
Because it was in public, Wei Ruolai had to take Niu Chunmiao into his office, attracting the curious eyes of many colleagues along the way. But at this time, Niu Chunmiao had already been immersed in the joy of reunion and was completely unaware of everything around him.
Wei Ruolai asked, "Why did you come to Shanghai?"
Niu Chunmiao lied, "My father asked me to come to Shanghai to marry you."
Wei Ruolai said, "Impossible. I have already written to my family to cancel this marriage."
Niu Chunmiao refused to do it and cursed, "Wei Ruolai, you are Chen Shimei, despising the poor and loving the rich. Do you have someone else outside, so you canceled our marriage?"
Wei Ruolai explained again and again, but Niu Chunmiao didn't believe it at all. Wei Ruolai didn't know what to do for a moment, so he took Niu Chunmiao to look for a house.
Wei Ruolai actually skipped work without paying attention to his work! He took Niu Chunmiao back to Qibao Street. When the neighbors saw them, they all started whispering, pointing and talking about the two of them.
Wei Ruolai knew very well that Niu Chunmiao must have run away secretly without telling his family. So he kindly persuaded Niu Chunmiao to go back to his hometown and stop staying in Shanghai. However, Niu Chunmiao firmly stated that he wanted to stay in Shanghai to make money and vowed that he would never become a burden to Wei Ruolai.
Looking at this stubborn and ambitious girl in front of him, Wei Ruolai couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He knew that Niu Chunmiao had her own dreams and pursuits, but at the same time he was also worried that she would encounter too many setbacks and difficulties in this prosperous city.
