Dynasty of the Great Hero Chapter 9

In the evening, Julia finally heard Helen report the news and came to see it in person.

When David saw Julia, he remembered that he had asked Lin Qijun to find out information, but he got no information at all. Even Lin Qijun was gone. He felt sad for himself and guilty towards his sister. He said to Julia, "I am in good health and have no illness at all. It is Helen who is suspicious."

Julia said, "I think what Aunt Zhang said makes sense. You look so bad. What's wrong with your eyes? They are red and swollen?" He turned his face in surprise and wanted to take a closer look.

David lowered his head to avoid it and said to cover it up, "I haven't slept well these past two days. My eyes are bloodshot." Then he asked, "When will brother-in-law come back?"

Julia's face immediately dimmed, "Who knew? Since that day, I haven't seen his shadow for several days. He no longer has this family in his heart. People's hearts change so quickly."

David's words touched his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply along with his sister.

Julia was thinking about her husband and didn't notice her brother's abnormality.

In the next few days, David seemed to be living in a divided world.

For a while, I wanted to go out, go to Daxing Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., or go directly to the Lin Mansion, find Lin Qijun, and ask questions face to face. But for a while, I felt that I couldn't go out. What if Lin Qijun really went away temporarily? When he got to the place, he would immediately make a long-distance call to explain. If he happened to be out at that time, wouldn't he just miss it?

After a while, I thought that Lin Qijun might have changed his mind. Just like what my sister said, people's hearts change quickly.

But then he overturned everything and Lin Qijun asked him to move out of the Nian house. That was real. The feeling they had when they were together, that comfort, was not fake.

After a few days, David lost two or three pounds and looked even thinner.

Seeing how haggard their siblings were, Zhang's mother was so distressed that she kept chanting Buddha's name. She tried every means to cook something for them to eat, but a husband who didn't come home and a lover who disappeared were neither illnesses that could be cured by food.

No matter how good the food was, it was like chewing wax to the brother and sister.

On this day, David was still lying in bed in a daze because he felt uncomfortable.

Aunt Zhang came over, knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, there's a man called Lao Hu at the gate, saying he has a letter for you."

David ignored it at first, but then he suddenly thought about it and remembered that this Lao Hu was the same Lao Hu who had delivered porridge to the hospital last time. That must be the letter that Lin Qijun asked him to deliver!

David suddenly got nervous and jumped out of bed. He hurriedly put on his shoes and said outside, "Auntie Zhang, I'll be there right away. Please ask him to wait a moment. I'll be there right away!"

He didn't even have time to tie his shoelaces before he rushed to open the door.

Zhang's mother was waiting at the door. Seeing his anxious look, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, he left long ago and left a letter. It's just two pieces of paper. Is it worth the panic?"

David had no time to listen to her nagging, so he took the letter from her hand, turned around, locked the door, and immediately opened the letter.

When I took out the letter and unfolded it, I saw Lin Qijun's familiar handwriting.

David's nose almost turned sour.

The letter was written with a pen, and the handwriting was still beautiful, but it looked a little messy, as if it was written secretly while being watched.

My love for the wind:

My mother suddenly arrived here, and she monitored my whereabouts very strictly. During these days, I couldn't even make phone calls freely. It was even more difficult to go out alone without being monitored by someone entrusted by my mother.

You should also put work arrangements aside for the time being and bring them up again when the time is right.

This is really the pain of a big family. You grew up in such a big family, so you must also know the pressure I am under.

I miss you deeply and love you. No matter what, my heart is with you.

Qijun

There were only a few lines in the letter.

David took the letter and read it again and again, but could only make out a few lines of words.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings. He felt a little surprised, a little relieved, but also a little disappointed and painful that was hard to express in words.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame Lin Qijun entirely. After all, he has his own concerns.

Back then, David was also rushed to England by his father. Isn’t it the same?

He held the letter in his palm, faced outside the window, and stood looking for a long time, but actually saw nothing.

In any case, Lin Qijun was just controlled by his family, not that he changed his heart.

Maybe, you should be content.

With Lin Qijun's letter, David's gloomy mood for many days finally improved a little.

I ate a little more at lunch and dinner.

Zhang's mother was both happy and surprised, "I don't know what was written in the letter. It seems like a panacea. If I had known this, I would have asked the literate gentleman to help me write a few letters to the young master."

David had been bored in Nian's house for many days. Since he knew Lin Qijun's condition, there was no need to keep an eye on Nian's house's phone. After dinner, he planned to take a walk outside.

When we arrived at the gate, we happened to see a black car driving into the alley.

On this road, the most imposing house is the Nian House. When David saw the car, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that my brother-in-law is back?

He stood on the steps and waited.

Sure enough, the car stopped at the gate of Nian’s house.

As the car door opened, Henry got out of the car, lowered his head, and stepped onto the stairs as if he was thinking about something. He didn't notice that there was someone on the stairs for a moment.

Although David hated him, he still called him, "Brother-in-law."

"Huh?" Henry suddenly looked up and saw him, his face expressionless, and asked him, "Is your sister asleep?"

"not yet."

Henry was thinking about something and said casually, "It doesn't matter if you haven't slept."

I ignored David and went into the house on his own.

David thought about it and thought that his brother-in-law might have a big fight with his sister when he came back. He was worried about Julia, so he decided to go back and take a look.

When we arrived at the small courtyard where Julia lived, we just heard a quarrel.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The yellow light was printed on the window, and the figures inside were shaking. Julia's voice came from the room, asking angrily, "How many days in a row have you not gone home? When you come home, you will rummage through things. What are you looking for? Don’t touch it, this is my thing, Henry, what are you doing?”

Henry was in the room, and she didn't know what she had touched. Julia's voice suddenly became louder, shouting, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

Henry said, "You don't need it, so why keep it? Give it to me."

Julia's voice was so sharp that it scratched the roof. "What should I do with it? Don't even think about it! You used your wife's jewelry to please those cheap b!tches. Do you have any shame? Give it back to me! Henry, if you dare to touch my dowry, I will fight you!"

As they were talking, there was a crackling sound in the room, and the sound of porcelain hitting the ground.

It seems to be taking action.

David was still hesitating whether to barge into their room rashly, but when he heard the noise, he was worried that his sister would suffer, so he rushed in immediately.

Julia was grabbing Henry by the collar, trying to snatch a pearl necklace from his hand. Although she was brave, she was a woman after all, and her size and strength were not as good as those of a man. When she saw her brother coming over, she quickly called out, "David! Hurry! My pearl necklace!"

David rushed over without saying a word, pulled Henry's arm, and twisted it outward with all his strength.

He was not very strong, but after all, it was two people against one, so Henry was immediately defeated. Before he knew it, the pearl necklace was snatched back by Julia.

When Henry saw that his things had been robbed, his veins jumped with anger, and he pushed David hard, "You freeloader, why do you want to mind your own business? Get out of here!"

Then he pointed at Julia and yelled at him from across the half room, "You idiot, no one wants you in your entire life! Can't I afford a pearl necklace? If you don't give it to me, I'll buy ten for Xiao Fengxi!"

Julia cried bitterly, holding the pearl necklace to her heart with both hands, sitting on the bed and crying, "You are not a human! You have no shame!"

"Yes! I'm not a human! I have no shame! You marry a man who is not a human, do you think you have the face?" Henry agreed to give Xiao Fengxi a pearl necklace. He came back specially to get it this time, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get it. He became furious, "Just wait and see, I will marry her tomorrow, in an eight-person sedan chair! Wearing a bright red robe! You think she is an actress and don't want her to be a c0ncubine? I tell you, I will marry her as the main wife! I just like her, so what? Nowadays, people are free, and they can get married if they love each other. If you can bear it, you can be a sister to her, a co-wife! Do you understand? If you can't bear it, I don't care about you, just divorce! Don't you always have new ideas? Divorce is a simple matter, go to the government to handle the procedures, put it in the newspaper, and you can become a nun or find a gigolo in the future, it's up to you! Anyway, if you do something shameful, don't get involved with my Nian family!"

Julia sat on the edge of the bed and cried at first, but after hearing the rest, he stopped talking.

Suddenly he closed his eyes, leaned back, and fell on the bed with a thud.

David was standing in front of her, blocking his brother-in-law from coming. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around and was shocked. He rushed over and hugged Julia's limp body and shouted, "Sister! Sister! What's wrong with you!" "

Helen and all the servants were hiding outside. As soon as she heard David shouting, she rushed in regardless of anything. Seeing this scene, she clapped her thighs and cried loudly, "Miss! Miss! What can I do? ? Brother-in-law, why are you so cruel!"

Henry cursed fiercely to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, his wife, who had always been strong, fell down. She was stunned for a moment. She stared blankly for a moment, stamped her feet and shouted, "Are you all dead? Why don't you call the doctor quickly?" ! ba5tards! They're all freeloaders!"

The footmen immediately rushed to call the doctor.

Henry suddenly remembered that his little darling was waiting for his pearl necklace. Now it might be difficult to get Julia's necklace, so he had to go and buy one quickly, otherwise Xiao Fengxi would be angry with him again.

When everyone in the Nian house was busy in a mess, he got into the car and left without saying a word.

Later, a doctor who studied traditional Chinese medicine came. He was also the one who had treated David last time.

They went to the main room to feel Julia's pulse, and found that the patient was asleep. They did not dare to disturb him, so they discussed the condition outside the room.

David was very anxious and asked him, "Doctor, is my sister okay? She has been eating less, sleeping poorly, and feeling sad recently. Is she overly anxious?"

The doctor thought for a while and said, "Judging from the pulse, he is a little anxious, but it's nothing serious."

David said sadly, "My sister has always been very strong, but now she fainted, and you still said it's nothing serious."

The doctor smiled slightly and said, "Every pregnant woman is somewhat weaker than usual. This is normal."

David and Helen were stunned together.

"What?"

"Congratulations, Mrs. Nian is pregnant."

David and Helen were still in a daze. It was only after the doctor repeated it twice that they woke up.

Helen was crying sadly, but suddenly she turned around and became beaming with joy. She rubbed her hands happily and just turned around in circles a few times. She kept saying, "Buddha bless, Buddha bless! This must be the blessing of my wife in heaven." Here's the lady. Now that the lady is happy, my uncle's heart will come back. I hope my uncle will forget about that vixen!"

Julia was still lying down and could not be disturbed. She couldn't wait to tell Henry the news, but she didn't know where Henry had gone.

David was not as optimistic as Helen. He said to Helen, "My brother-in-law may have left just now. If we want to find him, there are always people among these servants who know the whereabouts of the master. They just kept it secret from us and you."

He turned around, looked around, pointed at the young and rich man who was the most important among the attendants, and said, "Nian Gui, please go to the woman's residence and tell your brother-in-law that your sister is happy. Ask him to come back." have a look."

Nian Gui laughed and said, "Master David, you are joking. How could I know where that woman lives?"

David said calmly, "Don't deny it. You all get paid by your brother-in-law, so naturally you all help him. Although I'm stupid, I still understand this."

Then he said, "I'm not asking for your address or going to have a fight. I just want you to go over and tell your brother-in-law the news. This is also good news for your brother-in-law. You don't have to worry about him scolding you. If you find it tiring to go over there, please give them a call if you have the phone number there."

Nian Gui looked at him with eyes that were not sharp but bright and full of spirit, and seemed quite confident. He could not deny it any more, so he smiled and said, "Don't blame us. The master has ordered that no one is allowed to tell the wife. We are servants and can only follow the master's orders. I'll make the call now."

Having said that, he really went there immediately.

David was afraid that there would be too many people outside and would disturb his sister, so he persuaded the others to disperse and waited outside the door with Zhang's mother.

After a while, Nian Gui came back.

Aunt Zhang immediately asked, "How is it? Did you get through?"

Nian Gui nodded, "It's connected."

Helen asked happily, "When will my uncle come back?"

Nian Gui seemed embarrassed to say it. He looked at David, moved his lips, but didn't say anything.

David saw his expression and knew that things were not going well. He said helplessly, "It doesn't matter. Just tell us what he said."

Nian Gui then told them, "The husband answered the phone and was stunned for a while when he heard that his wife was pregnant. Later, I heard a woman's voice faintly beside him, and I didn't know what she was saying. Then, the husband said, just said..."

Aunt Zhang said anxiously, "Hey, just tell me, what did he say?"

Nian Gui pursed his lips and said, "Master said that this seems to be God's will."

Helen was confused when she was concerned. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, of course it is God's will."

"Listen to me. This is what Mr. Nian Gui said," Nian Gui imitated Henry's language.

She was angry and said word by word, "Since it is God's will, let God decide. Tell Madam to take good care of the pregnancy. If she gives birth to a son, fine! She will be the first wife and Xiao Fengxi will be the c0ncubine. If she gives birth to a daughter, then I'm sorry. She can't give birth to my son, so I will marry another wife. Xiao Fengxi will come in and be equal to her, and the two of them will call each other sisters. This is my way to deal with it. If she is willing, then she is willing. If she is not willing, then forget it."

After saying these words, Helen almost fainted. She sighed, put her hands on the wall of the room, and exhaled several times before she could speak. She said with a slight trembling, "This... this is a thousand things." You must not let the young lady hear it. If she does, it will really piss her off to death. It’s a pity that she is still pregnant with a child..." He was worried about the young lady in the room and did not dare to cry loudly.

David stood silently, with his head lowered, and slowly clenched his hands hanging on both sides of his thighs into fists.

He said to Nian Gui, "Don't tell anyone what your brother-in-law said, especially don't tell my sister. If she hears it and gets angry and something happens, I will settle the score with you."

Turning around, he comforted Aunt Zhang, "Don't cry, the sky won't fall. My brother-in-law is most concerned about his position as director. Ten little Fengxis are not as important as his position. His boss Maxwell and I are very close friends. Ask him to come forward to mediate, and things will turn around."

The hope in Helen's tearful eyes was suddenly ignited. She pulled David and looked at her eagerly, "Young master, this is all up to you. Don't coax me, an old woman."

David said seriously, "The person lying in the room is my own sister, why would I use this to coax you?"

He walked to the living room and looked at the gold-plated rotary phone. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the receiver, put it to his ear, dialed the number, and said into the receiver, "Operator, please connect me to the residence of the Director General of Customs, Director Maxwell."

The call came to Bai Mansion. Someone picked up the phone and said, "This is Bai Mansion."

It's a footman.

David gave his name and said he was looking for Maxwell.

The waiter seemed to have never known David's name. After hearing what he said, he said politely on the phone, "Mr. Xuan, I'm sorry, General Bai is out."

David asked, "Do you know where he went?"

The servant was quite happy to tell him, "The general went to Tianyin Garden after dinner. There will be a play by Bai Yunfei today."

David hung up the phone, went in to change some clothes, came out and called a car, and went straight to Tianyin Garden.

He knew that he and Maxwell had broken up like that, and if he went to seek help from others, he would inevitably be ridiculed by Maxwell.

Before he passed, he told himself countless times that when he saw Maxwell, no matter what he said, just try to endure it for the sake of his sister. As for making amends and apologies, as long as Maxwell was willing to step forward to stop his brother-in-law's misbehavior, everything was fine.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Tianyin Garden, he realized that was not the case.

Maxwell did not book the entire Tianyin Garden today. The seats below could be sold to individual customers, but they had already been sold out. David arrived at the gate of the garden and took a look. All he saw was a crowd of opera fans who had no money to buy tickets standing at the gate, craning their necks to listen to the opera in vain.

He squeezed to the innermost door, took out a few banknotes from his pocket and gave the money from his sister, and gave the two yuan to the gatekeeper before being put into the garden.

He knew that someone like Maxwell who loved to spend money would definitely sit in a box when watching a play. After entering the garden, he did not even look at the first floor, but went straight up the stairs. Just as he reached the second floor, a loud shout suddenly rang out, "Hey! What are you doing?"

Standing at the top of the stairs were two big men in uniform who looked like sergeants, with box guns in their belts, glaring at him with murderous intent.

David looked at the uniform. It was not a police uniform, but it carried a gun. After thinking about it, it was probably a soldier's uniform for customs inspection for smuggling. Then he looked inside and saw four or five similar big men standing in the corridor, all standing at attention and serious. He stood guard outside the box door.

His family was also prominent in the past, so he knew that these were the guards of the chief of customs. He said to a guard standing at the stairs, "Excuse me, please help me inform him. I am Maxwell's classmate, David, and I have something important to discuss with him. Don't waste his time, just say a few words."

When the guard heard that he was Maxwell's friend, his expression became less ferocious. He looked David up and down before saying, "Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."

David saw him enter the box and come out after a while. He asked the guard, "What did he say?"

The guard's face was much more ferocious than before. He waved his hand and said, "Go away! Your grandmother's classmate, our commander said he doesn't even know anyone with the last name Xuan. Get out of here now!"

David didn't expect Maxwell to answer like this, and was stunned for a moment.

He was the one who asked to break up with Maxwell, and now he had the audacity to come and ask for help. He felt extremely ashamed. If it were any other time, he would have turned around and left without saying a word.

But this matter concerns his own sister, he really can't just walk away like this, so he stood at the stairs for a while, and then mustered up the courage to negotiate with the guard, "Please go again and help me pass a message to him. Just say that I apologize to him, this time..."

The guard interrupted him rudely before he could finish, "Still delivering messages to you? dmn it, do you think I'm here to entertain you? Go! Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I'll draw my gun and treat you as an assassin!"

David thought to himself that since Maxwell had already spread the word that he didn't know him, it was useless to call the mansion. It was rare to find a real person now, so he had to be called out to meet him.

She took the risk and stretched her body at the stairs and shouted towards the corridor, "Maxwell! Maxwell! Come out! I just want to talk to you for a few words!"

At this point, even the guards at the door of the box were alerted. They put their hands on the gun box and looked this way.

When the guard saw David acting like this, he was very angry and said viciously, "Are you deliberately seeking death? Do you think I dare not kill you?"

However, there were officers listening to a play in the theater, so he did not dare to draw his gun. He stepped forward, grabbed David by the collar, dragged him to the corridor on the second floor, and punched him in the waist.

David had never been beaten like this since he was a child. There was a sudden impact on his waist, and his whole body seemed to be paralyzed. He whimpered and fell to the ground, curling up in pain.

"I'll let you die!"

The guard still didn't understand his hatred. He took two steps forward and was about to kick him hard when the door to the side room suddenly opened.

Maxwell came out and asked uncomfortably, "What's the noise outside? How can we listen to the opera?"

When the guards saw the commander coming out, they all stood at attention. The one who was beating people also stopped immediately and reported, "Sir, this man is making a noise outside and must see you." He pointed at David lying on the ground.

Maxwell glanced at David on the ground and asked, "Who beat him?"

The guard saw that his face was not right and was a little scared. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I beat him."

"Help me up," Maxwell said coldly, "It's outrageous. If word spreads, it will be said that the customs officers just beat up ordinary people. You are making it difficult for me to be a good person."

After hearing this, the guard quickly helped David up.

David was still sweating from the pain. When he looked up, he couldn't help but lose consciousness.

It turned out that Maxwell came out, and other people in the box also ran out. They followed Maxwell curiously, watching this side as if they were watching a good show. Natalie, who had been seen last time, was among them. Today she didn't need to make an appearance, but had time to dress up. She was dressed very fashionably and pretty, like a modern lady.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qijun was also among the group, wearing a well-tailored suit, handsome and elegant, standing out from the crowd just like Maxwell. It seemed that he and Maxwell had made an appointment to come to Tianyin Garden together, and listened to the opera in the box for fun.

He stood behind Maxwell, looking at David with a worried look. When he saw David looked at him, he couldn't help but step back a little, revealing a look as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

David was already extremely humiliated, but seeing his look in his eyes made him even more painful. He could only grit his teeth and stand there.

Seeing Maxwell turning around to go back to the box, David shouted, "Wait!"

Maxwell stopped and turned around again, "Mr. Xuan, do you have any advice?" Although there was a smile on her face, her eyes were cold.

Now that he turned around, the others turned around with him, all staring at David.

David was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Please take a moment to speak. There is one thing that I really can't help but want to discuss with you."

Maxwell's eyes were shining brightly as she glanced at him and said lightly, "Mr.

There was a long corridor between the two of them, but his eyes were so sharp that it was chilling. Even from such a distance, it struck David as coldly as a flying knife.

David was blocked by him and couldn't say anything, his face was pale.

Lin Qijun couldn't bear to see this, so he stepped forward to be a peacemaker, put on a smile, and said to Maxwell, "Maxwell, we are all classmates, why bother? David doesn't know how to deal with people, and his words often offend people. You have always known this, why are you so unwilling to forgive him this time? I will apologize to you on his behalf, okay?"

Maxwell glanced at Lin Qijun, raised the corner of her mouth a little, thought for a while with a half-smile, and then said, "Okay, I'll give you this face."

Turning back, he said coldly to David, "I'm watching a play right now, so I don't have time to talk to you. If you really have something to say, let's do this. I have half an hour to spare tomorrow evening at six o'clock. You can come to Baigongguan. Don't be late. I have a lot of official business, and I won't wait for you after the time."

After saying that, he went into the box without looking back.

Lin Qijun stopped in the corridor for a while, looking back continuously, as if he really wanted to come over and talk to David.

However, Natalie noticed that he had not followed, so she came out of the box to look for him, smiled at him and said, "It turns out that Master Lin was left here. You have to come quickly. After a while, you will miss Baiyun." Fly onto the field."

Another little boy with a delicate face, who seemed to be a child actor learning to play, also ran over to him and said coquettishly, "Master Lin, don't you want to watch my brother's play? He will be angry if he knows that you are not here when he comes on stage. "Yes." Without any hesitation, he took Lin Qijun's arm and pulled him into the box.

David looked at this scene, his head buzzing.

Almost crumbling.

He didn't know how he returned to Nian's house.
