I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Chapter 116: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 116

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is still raining. It feels like everyone in the city is like a fish in water, soaking wet all over.

At the entrance of the Concession Bank, Zhang Er and his men looked at the car driving away with a frighteningly dark look in their eyes.

"Second Master, he is just a playboy from a cultural relic dealer's family. Give me a knife and I will make sure he doesn't live past this night."

Master Zhang turned his head and glanced at the vicious expressions of his men, and his anger subsided a lot.

"What do you think gives him the confidence to be so arrogant in front of us? Under the dual pressure of the Japanese and the black market, why is he so unmoved?"

He said coldly, obviously not wanting to wait for his younger brother to answer, and he almost gritted his teeth and said:

"Wu Ziyang, Bai Meigui, and Lu Pingsheng...these three people are really great."

Wu Ziyang established connections with the Gauls, and Lu Pingsheng was relying on the favor of Charles, the old foreigner.

What made him most angry was that the woman whom he once thought was the most useless had convinced those old guys and was now on equal footing with him.

Lu Pingsheng was in a very good mood while driving, and even the wet and cloudy days of the past seemed a little more pleasing to him.

Because Zhang Er manipulated the black market and prevented shipments, the price of sulfa drugs only went up.

The Japanese spent 20% more than they did more than a month ago to buy all the sulfa drugs they had.

He hummed a little tune and turned the steering wheel at the intersection to go to the nearby Dachang Coffee Shop to pick up the cake and bread he ordered for the little boy.

When I was turning, I was startled by a man who suddenly ran out. Fortunately, I stepped on the brakes in time.

The man didn't argue after being hit, but chased forward with all his might.

Lu Pingsheng looked over and saw that he was chasing a rickshaw, shouting:

"Nana, please don't leave. How can we live without you?"

Lu Pingsheng felt as if some image was forcibly breaking into his mind. If it were in peacetime, he would definitely go forward to give him a ride and help him chase the swallows.

Now, caution has long been integrated into his bones and blood. He just watched the limping man running forward with all his might.

Blood dripped onto the road and soon merged with the road which had not yet dried, becoming an inconspicuous stain.

For some reason, Lu Pingsheng kept driving slowly and following him.

Until he could no longer walk, he sat down on the side of the road, staring blankly in the direction of the Dachang Coffee Shop.

As if God could also feel people’s sadness, the early summer rain came quickly and urgently, soaking the patrolman who was about to drive him away from afar back under the eaves of the cafe.

For some reason, Lu Pingsheng suddenly thought of Wu Ziyang and everyone who was trapped in love in troubled times.

He rolled down the window and threw the ten francs containing two dollars to the man.

Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Dachang Coffee Shop.

The receptionist at the door saw the guests and came forward attentively with an umbrella in his hand.

When Lu Pingsheng opened the car door, he saw Sister Xu Lan with a gentle smile.

"Sister Lan, long time no see."

Sister Xu Lan was also surprised to see Lu Pingsheng. When he greeted her with a smile on his face, she suppressed her pounding heartbeat and said as calmly as possible:

"Mr. Lu, long time no see."

Lu Pingsheng took the spare umbrella from her hand, opened it, and kept a distance from the girl.

Love, he doesn't deserve it.

Sister Xu Lan looked at Lu Pingsheng's back, her eyes dimmed a little, and she followed him.

After Lu Pingsheng entered, he said to the receptionist, "Twenty chestnut cakes, thirty baguettes and fifty slices of toast that I ordered yesterday."

The waiter looked up at Lu Pingsheng and trotted to the kitchen, "Sister Hu Na, the customer who ordered cakes and bread is here, and there is still a baguette that has not been baked."

Hu Na threw the ring in her hand into the trash can next to her, calmed herself down, and got up to leave.

When I looked up, I saw Lu Pingsheng sitting by the window watching the rain.

She was about to ask Sister Xu Lan to go up, but found that no one was looking for her, so she had to go up herself.

"We were still discussing who was so generous. If it was Mr. Lu, it wouldn't be surprising."

Lu Pingsheng turned his head to look at the person who was speaking. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was a little surprised in his heart. Wasn't the woman in front of him the Nana who was being chased by the man who fell on the street?

Does she know that there is a man who is lying in the rain in despair in his attempt to win her back?

Thinking of Wei Miao calling her "Sister Hu Na", she also said politely: "It shows that your store's signboard is very popular."

Hu Na smiled sweetly, her face full of brightness and smoothness as she said, "Because they are all freshly made, the last batch of baguettes is still being baked."

After Lu Pingsheng said he didn't mind, Hu Na smiled and nodded and left.

By the time Lu Pingsheng parked the car at the entrance of the alley, the rain had stopped.

He waved to Little Nanjing who was sitting under the eaves, and the two of them took several trips to carry the things back home.

Before leaving, Lu Pingsheng gave Xiao Nanjing a piece of chestnut cake, a baguette and a few slices of toast.

"Take it home and sweeten your mouth."

Little Nanjing blushed and refused: "I don't want it."

He is an adult now, how can Mr. Lu treat him as a child?

Although the aroma of cakes and bread was very tempting, little Nanjing had never lacked food since he was a child and was able to resist the temptation.

"Do you want it? I won't ask for your help next time." Lu Pingsheng said.

Little Nanjing was confused for a moment, "Mr. Lu, you can call me if you have anything in the future. Can you please help me with something?"

Lu Pingsheng looked at the young man's anxious face and said kindly, "Tell me."

"I want to join the army, but A Miao said there are no troops in the city. That day I saw the inspector at A Miao's house looking very impressive. If I, if I want to be a patrolman, what are the conditions?"

Lu Pingsheng looked at the young man who was half a head shorter than him in surprise. His dark pupils were filled with confusion and yearning for the future, which made it hard for people to dislike him.

"It's good for you to have ideals, but you are too young now. It's best to wait until you are 18 years old before thinking about these things."

Looking at the boy's dimming eyes, he added:

"You don't have to be idle these two years. Whether you join the army or serve as a patrol officer, you need a strong physique. Eat more and exercise well, and then you will have a better starting point than others."

After listening to this, little Nanjing's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, the reason why Wei Miao was so capable was because he was smarter and more willing to learn than them.

As if he had figured something out or made an important decision, the young man bowed to Lu Pingsheng:

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Pingsheng stopped him again, "Take the food home and eat with your father."

This time Xiao Nanjing did not refuse. He said loudly again, "Mr. Lu, thank you."

Lu Pingsheng looked at the boy's back as he left happily, smiled and shook his head.

When he turned around, he saw Wei Miao standing at the bedroom door, looking at him with a smile.

"Little brat, you appear now quietly, are you trying to scare me?"

Wei Miao ignored his complaints and sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at a pile of bread and cakes happily.

"Brother Lu, thank you~"

Wei Miao imitated Xiao Nanjing's tone and teased.

Lu Pingsheng touched his nose, sat next to her, and took out a deposit slip and a key from his bag.

"All the sulfa drugs have been sold, and the gold is in the bank. I plan to contact them and prepare to divide the money."

Even though Wei Miao owned ten boxes of silver, her eyes still lit up frighteningly when she saw the amount of gold.

"Brother Lu, I have good news for you too."

Lu Pingsheng looked at the little brat, his heart moved, and he waited quietly for what to say next.
