Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, the time of spring is over, the weather is getting hotter, and pedestrians on the streets of Shanghai are gradually putting on colorful summer clothes; especially in the feasting nights, the enchanting figures of the women under the cheongsam, with all the exposed Her jade arms and the increasingly hot rouge on her face mixed into a lustrous color.
However, in the past two months, the name Chen Shu has become famous.
First, he became the leader of the Dragon Gang at the young age of 26, with more than 20,000 disciples.
He succeeded Cai Bingrong in manipulating criminal activities such as arms smuggling and gambling.
Later, he colluded with imperialists, bureaucrats and politicians to develop the power of feudal gangs, and then used These gang forces recruited disciples, and in the three hundred and sixty rows of old Shanghai, they added power and influence, and became famous in Shanghai along the way.
For people like him, the common people also gave him the title "Rogue Tycoon".
However, in the tycoon world of old Shanghai, the number one tycoon was still respected and despised by thousands of people.
"Master Hong" Bai Qihong.
Although the Shanghai Anti-Narcotics Committee and relevant government departments mobilized the whole society to carry out anti-drug policies, Bai Qihong still used his power in an unscrupulous manner, selling opium, operating casinos, and opening racecourses in partnership.
In short, he made money wherever he could.
For these Shanghai tycoons, there is really nothing that can defeat them at present.
You see, Bai Qihong's opium den is still blatantly under construction.
Hua Ting was really tired.
She had been looking forward to traveling back in time all day long.
There was nothing about the people and things in old Shanghai that she could miss.
On this day, Bai Qihong said that he had important matters to discuss with Jian Maosheng, so he took Hua Ting to Jian's house.
It was an ancient house-style villa in the French Concession in Xuhui District.
The entire villa was grandly designed, facing south and facing north.
The layout of the balcony and warehouse is rigorous, without any Western-style atmosphere of the White Mansion; there is a bamboo forest behind the house, with whip-like knotty bamboo roots hanging down from the wall, casting some strange shadows under the moonlight.
The atmosphere of the entire Jian family mansion was gloomy and not very pleasant.
Hua Ting frowned immediately.
Unexpectedly, the lobby on the first floor of Jian's house is so busy.
The mahjong table alone occupies 30 square meters.
There are three tables in total.
One table is surrounded by four women, and the other two tables are all men.
One of them is a Japanese super high school student.
The leader is Fujita Shoji.
Jian Yi was very happy when he saw her coming.
Knowing that she loved to eat, he moved all kinds of snacks to the coffee table in the hall and pulled her to sit down with a playful smile.
Unexpectedly, Miss Chen Jingzhi beside her became unhappy.
She pursed her lips and put His eyelids rolled directly to the ceiling.
One of the women at the mahjong table thought she was Jian Yi's mother.
She always raised her eyelids and looked at Hua Ting several times while playing cards.
It seemed that Hua Ting's careless behavior made her quite dissatisfied.
That end always looked like the untied "half-crown hair" that is most popular in today's society, and she had a sloppy look.
From the moment she walked in, Mrs.
Jian's brows had not relaxed.
How could Hua Ting not notice those two appraising glances?
The more Mrs.
Jian frowned, the happier she felt in her heart.
She thought that Mrs.
Jian liked girls in lace skirts like Chen Jingzhi, but her makeup was not like hers in this era.
In the woman's eyes, it can be described as neither fish nor fowl; but their silly son Jian Yi knows how to appreciate it.
Bai Qihong and Jian Maosheng talked in the study for several hours.
Hua Ting was so idle that he was about to take a nap with his eyes closed.

She was leaning on the sofa chair made of logs and was just about to fall asleep when Mrs.
Jian, wearing a light orange cheongsam and 5cm red high heels, was walking towards her with a twist.
Hua Ting really wants to say, who taught this gaudy red and orange combination?
Doesn’t she know that these two colors are so vulgar when they collide together?
They are not on the same level as Mrs.
Bai.
"This is Hua Ting, right?"
Mrs.
Jian stood in front of her and looked at her closely.
Out of politeness, Hua Ting had to endure her sleepiness, stood up and said hello: "Hello Aunt Jane."
Mrs.
Jian has a mean face, a straight bridge of nose, and the appearance of an aristocratic young lady.
According to physiognomy, such a straight nose bridge and full nose wings are probably very noble and difficult to get along with.
As expected, when the two of them saw each other, It just doesn't suit your eyes.
"Hua Ting is really handsome and smart.
I liked her at first sight."
Mrs.
Jian sat down next to her with a false smile on her face.
"Thank you."
Hua Ting turned to Jian Yi, and the boy smiled so happily.
"It is said that Hua Ting plays the piano very well.
I happened to have something to do on your birthday."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Mrs.
Jian's lips.
She glanced at the white grand piano in the corner of the hall and said, " How about playing a song for Aunt Jane to listen to now?"
Seeing the evil smile on Chen Jingzhi's face, Hua Ting knew that Mrs.
Jian did it on purpose.
She thought that on her birthday, Miss Chen Jingzhi stole the limelight due to the piano incident and spread it to Mrs.
Jian's ears in an exaggerated way, resulting in the current Mrs.
Jian.
I wanted to see with my own eyes how she was embarrassed.
Naturally, Hua Ting didn't want to listen to her, "Aunt Jian, don't listen to their nonsense, I don't know how to play the piano at all."
"How is that possible?"
Mrs.
Jian pretended to be surprised, "I heard that you passed piano level 6 at the age of 13, and passed level 8 at the age of 15."
Isn’t it clear to Hua Ting what Mrs.
Jian’s idea was?
Taking advantage of the crowd today, let her embarrass herself in public and highlight Chen Jingzhi’s well-behaved and generous nature.
She thought of bringing the two of them together by the way.
The plan was perfect and flawless.
Hua Ting agreed, and was ready to show off and play randomly, so as to comply with Mrs.
Jian's wishes.
She went along with her wish, but just when she was about to say "yes", there was a burst of laughter from the mahjong table in front of her.
An old man seemed to be tired of playing mahjong and said he wanted to change to pai gow.
Hua Ting became energetic as soon as she heard Pai Gow.

She immediately stood up and said, "Aunt Jane, I don't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am good at gambling."
In Mrs.
Jian's astonished expression, Hua Ting joined the Pai Gow table, and followed the three gentlemen to touch the dominoes and rub the Pai Gow made of tooth bones until they made a clanging sound.
"Oh, Hana, I know how to do this."
Fujita Shoji, who was sitting next to her, found this girl interesting.
"I know a little bit."
Thanks to the elders in the shooting club.
People may not be able to imagine what kind of environment Hua Ting grew up in.
Mrs.
Jian's expression was as if she was going crazy.
What kind of lady would do such a ridiculous thing and come to the gambling table to play Pai Gow with some big men?
Does she know how many big men there are at the gambling table?
Either an international politician or a Shanghai tycoon, Hua Ting is shameless or something.
Do you know how to write the word "shy"?
What makes Mrs.
Jian even more incomprehensible is that Jian Yi actually accompanies her to make trouble, and even pays for it himself, saying, "Sister Hua, if you lose, it's my fault, if you win, it's yours."
Hua Ting watched the other three gentlemen put a few silver dollars on the table, and then she also threw a few silver dollars.
She was in high spirits, and her sleepiness was swept away.
She then raised her hands and rubbed her neck.
This long and beautiful figure Her posture and flowing movements made her feel indescribably comfortable; however, she did not notice that Fujita Shoji beside her had been staring at her.
But Jian Yi noticed it.
He stood behind Hua Ting, put his hand on her shoulder and watched her playing cards.
Hua Ting's slender white hands were constantly interspersed between the black Pai Gow.
She was smart, quick to react, had clear thoughts, and played the cards quickly.
"Thirty thousand."
She placed the cards on the table with two fingers and shouted loudly.
Fujita Shoji beside him narrowed his sharp eyes and played a card.
After another round, Jian Yi's hand on Hua Ting's shoulder sank and held down her hand that was about to touch a card.
While Hua Ting was wondering, his right hand reached out and he casually and slowly picked up a card. , smiled and said: "This deck of cards needs to be played like this."
She put the cards in her hand and tapped her finger on the card of Fujita Shoji downstairs.
Hua Ting calmly took the cards from his hand, secretly scolding herself for being careless, took back the cards she was about to play, and drew four from her left hand.
Jian Yi's little move made Fujita Shoji frown displeased, and he had to re-plan the way he was going to play.
Jian Yi was just dissatisfied with Fujita Shoji's look when he looked at Hua Ting.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was looking at Hua Ting naked.
However, due to Jian Maosheng's face, he could not be too arrogant.
In this regard, Jian Yi was the same as Hua Ting.
It was tacitly understood that the card that was supposed to win was deliberately lost to Shoji Fujita.
Although Hua Ting didn't learn how to be humble, she did learn a little bit about the ability to observe people's emotions and figure out people's hearts.
After living in old Shanghai for so long, I have to learn how to survive wisely.
Besides, she hasn't found her great-grandfather yet.
Hua Ting is also good at playing cards.
She knows how to play cards appropriately and when to play tricks so as not to offend others, but she is a little careless.
Jian Yi sat comfortably behind her and smiled at every card she played. , the love in the eyes is even stronger.
Mrs.
Jian was at another card table, her face was extremely ugly.

The card player on the other side even joked: "Your little wife is really a young lady of the generation, full of martial arts flavor."
Mrs.
Jian is a woman after all, and she doesn't care about the power relationship between Jian Maosheng and Bai Qihong.
She is extremely dissatisfied with Bai Qihong's daughter.
The disgust in her eyes is clearly revealed.
She angrily throws out a card in her hand.
Gritting her teeth tightly, how could such a girl deserve to be her daughter-in-law of the Jian family?
"You're almost bored to death, aren't you, Jingzhi?"
Mrs.
Jian had an idea.
When facing Chen Jingzhi, the smile on her face seemed much more genuine, "How about you go play Aunt Lu's favorite moonlight?"
Chen Jingzhi knew what Mrs.
Jian meant, and immediately ran towards the white grand piano on his lace heels.
Little did he know that no matter how obedient and obedient he was, he never won Jian Yi's eyes.
Jian Yi sat behind Hua Ting, her eyes never leaving the dominoes in her hand, and she didn't even notice the sound of the piano.
Bai Qihong and Jian Maosheng were walking down the stairs.
The bodyguard in black behind him saw Hua Ting gambling happily at the card table.
He was afraid of Bai Qihong's anger, so he quickened his pace and went to stop him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qihong waved his hand, " never mind."
The bodyguard in black was stunned and stopped in time.
"Let her continue."
Bai Qihong walked down the stairs slowly, squinting at Hua Ting's skillful card-playing moves on the lower right.
Some thoughts he had never had before appeared in his mind, and the way he looked at her became different.
