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

Wei Ada bent down and picked up the load. When he reached the door, he said to Wei Miao:

"Ah Miao, keep an eye on your mother. Don't let her touch cold water or do heavy work. I'll be back after I finish selling."

Wei Miao nodded.

She knew that when she was the Lion King, whenever a lioness was pregnant, she would hunt harder than usual.

As the head of the family, Wei Ada must be energetic.

After Wei Ada left, Lu Pingsheng played with Laba Weidong in the yard.

Wei Miao went upstairs, opened the door, and saw Xu Ayu lying on the bed with an angry look on his face.

"Mom, I want a younger brother this time." Wei Miao sat at the head of the bed, pulling the thread on Xu Ayu's sleeve, and said happily.

A blush appeared on Xu Ayu's cheeks again. She opened her mouth to scold Wei Ada again, but when she met Wei Miao's happy eyes, she swallowed the words.

"Ah Miao, Mom thinks life is pretty good now. I just want to sell braised meat with your dad and raise you guys. I don't want you to become as successful as Mr. Lu and Patrolman Xiao Wu, but I can't let you follow our old path."

Wei Miao looked at the confusion in Xu Ayu's eyes and said with a smile:

"Mom, when you give birth to a brother, remember to tell my grandmother when you visit her grave and ask her to bless you."

Xu Ayu looked at his daughter's playful expression and suddenly felt that the warmth was gone. He waved his hand at her impatiently and said:

"Don't disturb me while I'm pregnant. It makes me upset just by looking at me."

Wei Miao said casually: "Sure enough, my mother's love disappears the fastest."

Xu Ayu looked at her daughter's back as she ran out nimbly, touched her belly, sighed first, and then smiled.

"It would be nice if it was a boy!" she whispered.

Maybe if there was a boy, A Miao would let go of her grudges and be willing to grow long hair and wear women's clothes.

Two days later, the birthday party of Salvin, the Chief Patrolman of the French Concession, was held in the most luxurious hall of the Huizhong Hotel.

As this is a banquet hosted by the highest leader of the police agency in the concession, people of the same level from other countries will also be present to celebrate.

It was not as good as the banquets held by the Municipal Council before, but it was also attended by many celebrities.

Wei Miao was wearing a well-fitting suit and bow tie, following Salwen's wife and daughter, translating for them.

Now she is adept at it.

Unlike the French Concession and the International Settlement, which sent their own troops and officials, the French adopted the strategy of using Chinese to control Chinese, which was more popular with the Chinese.

For example, Huang Jinrong, the first Chinese detective who was very famous a few years ago.

Later, there was Du Yuesheng, who served as the Chinese director of the French Concession Municipal Council.

Now, there is also Deputy Chief Inspector Wu Ziyang, who is having a very pleasant conversation with the Chief Inspector.

Chinese people do prefer the French Concession because there are more opportunities and it is more prominent.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the men and women separated.

Wei Miao was about to follow the ladies to the flower hall when he heard someone calling him from behind:

"David?"

Wei Miao turned around and saw a tall and thin blond boy walking towards him, followed by Miss Charlotte who looked unhappy.

Not far away were Lu Pingsheng and Xu Manhua, who was holding her arm affectionately. They were greeting Durand, who was hugging the blonde girl.

Louis stepped forward, congratulated Sharvin on his birthday in a serious manner, and then said to him:

"Dear sir, may I make an unreasonable request to you?"

Sharwen was naturally familiar with the genius son of the vice consul, and shrugged and said:

"Young man, don't you dare mention anything I can't do."

Louis looked at Wei Miao and said, "I would like to borrow your translation."

Sharwen looked in the direction of Wei Miao, rolled his eyes for a moment, and nodded cheerfully.

As the host of the banquet, Sharvin had a lot to do. He had to build relationships with his compatriots, establish good relations with the Chinese, and have good conversations with politicians and celebrities from other countries.

They came to the East just to enjoy the extravagant upper-class life, which the other romantic French people could tolerate.

After the host walked away, the atmosphere on the scene became a little subtle.

Li Xiaoya's eyes fell on the blond boy and her hands tightened slightly.

It was because of this young man’s arrogance that she suffered such torture last time.

Now, she is of greater use, and Miss Yukiko can no longer send her to hell with just one sentence.

Wu Ziyang thought she was a little nervous, so he patted her hands to comfort her.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Lu Pingsheng and Xu Manhua walking towards him, and his face became a little unnatural.

Wei Miao naturally couldn't stay in such a Shura scene. She tugged at Louis' sleeve and said in French:

"let's go."

That's what Louis meant.

Wei Miao pulled up the unhappy Charlotte, tugged at Louis' sleeve, and the three of them went up to the terrace on the second floor through twists and turns.

Louis looked at Charlotte with rosy cheeks and asked Wei Miao unhappily in French:

"What did you take her for?"

Wei Miao smiled and said, "Too nervous."

Charlotte was very happy and thanked Wei Miao in English.

Wei Miao thought about the literary novels he had read and replied:

"It's a beautiful day with a talented man and a beautiful woman. Let me tell you a romantic story."

Charlotte's favorable impression of this sensible oriental boy increased rapidly.

Today is a full moon. Wei Miao told two foreigners the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. Seeing that they were listening with great interest, he was quite speechless.

In the lobby downstairs, Xu Manhua looked at Wu Ziyang with complicated eyes and sneered:

"What Deputy Chief Inspector Wu said is ridiculous. My father works for the French Economic Department. It shouldn't be strange for him to attend such a banquet."

Wu Ziyang was tense after being criticized. Xu Manhua glanced at the two of them and said with a hint of sarcasm in her chuckle:

"Deputy Chief Inspector, you are so forgetful. It's been less than a year since you first attended the French banquet. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

When Wu Ziyang saw Xu Manhua like this, he thought of the past and felt uncomfortable.

"Manhua, why do you have to speak like that?"

The two of them were quite oblivious to the fact that there was no one around and they were confronting each other.

Lu Pingsheng's smiling face turned a little ugly. He looked at them coldly, snorted, and turned away.

Li Xiaoya also bit her lip. If it were in the past, she would have left sadly, but now the success of her mission depended on Wu Ziyang, and no accidents could happen.

So she stopped dead in her tracks and listened quietly to the conversation between the infatuated couple.

After Lu Pingsheng left the crowd, he searched with his eyes and finally found his target in the crowd.

While he was casually chatting with Durand, his eyes were always on that man.

Seeing the man put down his wine glass, he glanced at Durand who was kissing the blonde girl, clicked his tongue twice, and turned away.

"Luka, let's go together?" Durand raised his eyebrows and made an obscene gesture to him.

Lu Pingsheng felt a chill and pointed at Xu Manhua who was still struggling with Wu Ziyang in the distance and said:

"My fiancée."

Durand was quite speechless and continued to bury his head in the blonde's chest.

Lu Pingsheng walked towards Wu Ziyang and Xu Manhua, and despite her resistance, he pulled her quickly through the crowd and went up to the second floor.

Leaving behind were Wu Ziyang, with a gloomy look on his face, and Li Xiaoya, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, standing there.
