A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui'er was stunned on the spot. It turned out that Dingxiang was trying to tip her off. When the lady saw Gui'er coming back, she smiled and said, "Guier, you're done with school. Look, Mr. Liang came to see you specially and brought you a gift."

Gui'er was speechless looking at Liang Guowei. There was a box of snacks he brought on the table in the living room.

Gui'er sincerely didn't want him to be so proud, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, why are you in such a good mood to come here?"

Liang Guowei smiled and said, "I was busy recently, so I came to see you now that I have some free time."

"Are you busy going to a brothel and having someone dress up as a schoolgirl? I've read all your newspapers." Gui'er exposed him mercilessly.

"Guier, how do you talk to guests? You are so rude. Come, sit down and talk to Mr. Liang." The lady came over and pulled Guier, pressed her to the sofa in the living room, and sat her next to Liang Guowei.

Liang Guowei looked at her helpless expression and smiled smugly. Gui'er thought that since she couldn't resist anymore, she might as well find out about his work. Maybe she could find out something.

Liang Guowei said with a smile: "Those photos in the newspapers were taken secretly by reporters who wanted to make money. I was just there for a social event."

The wife echoed, "That's what I guessed. Men, after all, have to socialize. If a woman can't accept this, she has no chance of becoming the mistress of the main house, let alone Young Master Liang's father. Master Liang has so many wives and concubines in his own house, and he's still doing well. Women, don't be so hard on this world. Assist your husband well and carry forward the family. That's the real thing."

As soon as the lady finished speaking, even Miss Tian, ​​who was smiling beside her, was stunned for a moment and gave her a quiet look, probably suspecting that she was talking to her.

Gui Er smiled and asked Liang Guowei, "So, what have you been up to lately, Mr. Liang? You told Zhou Huifang you're involved in international exchange. Could it be that you organized this newspaper-like event just for your foreign friends?"

Liang Guowei didn't care about her teasing at all. He smiled and said, "We're still in the preparation stage, but my uncle and I will be going to Shanghai soon. The situation is so chaotic now. We don't know who will rule the world in the future. It's just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. How could people at that time have known that the Qin Dynasty would eventually rule the world? So, we have to connect with each other and move around more so that we can seize the initiative when the time comes."

"Going to Shanghai? I heard from classmates who have relatives in Shanghai that Shanghai is in chaos right now. The Japanese are rampant and tyrannical. They can accidentally kill someone in the street and won't even offer compensation."

Liang Guowei turned around and looked at Gui'er with a smile, saying, "Guier, are you worried about me now? Don't worry, we are people of status, and we are certainly different from those lowly civilians. If we go there, we will definitely be respected by the Japanese."

After hearing this, the lady said with envy, "I heard that Master Liang's uncle is doing very well in Manchukuo."

Liang Guowei smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not because of my uncle's relationship. As representatives of high-ranking government officials, our status is actually the same as that of diplomatic ambassadors. They must respect us."

Gui'er asked, "You are representatives of a high-ranking government official. So which government department are you from? Which high-ranking official are you representing? Everyone knows your uncle is well-connected in the government and has many friends, but you aren't from the government, so how can you represent a high-ranking official?"

When Liang Guowei heard this, he said, "Gui'er, are you suspecting that I'm bragging?"

Guier immediately pretended to be nonchalant and said, "No, I don't. I just feel that there are so many people working in the government, why do we need to find people outside to do the work for them?"

Liang Guowei smiled mysteriously and said, "Some things may not be reliable when done by people within the government."

Miss Tian smiled and said, "Master Liang is really amazing. He has the trust of high-ranking officials. When will you leave for Shanghai?"

Liang Guowei said, "That's going to have to wait until the time is right, but it's coming soon. Gui'er, Shanghai has a lot of imported goods: French perfumes, Italian dresses, French handbags, American sneakers. Do you want me to bring you some?"

Gui Er smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Liang, but I wear school uniform every day and don't have time to dress up."

"Gui'er, why do you want to refuse Master Liang's kindness? If you don't wear it during school, you can wear it during the holidays." Jinbao suddenly interrupted.

"Shut up and go back to your room." Miss Tian said in a deep voice.

Jinbao opened his mouth, looking a little unconvinced, and his wife said beside him: "You are heavy, go back and rest for a while."

Jinbao had no choice but to go upstairs without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, Liang Guowei smiled awkwardly from the side.

The lady smiled attentively and said, "It's rare for Young Master Liang to come here, why not have dinner before leaving."

Liang Guowei glanced at Gui'er and was about to say something when Sha Yanyao came back from outside.

"Are there any guests? I see a car parked at the door."

As soon as Sha Yanyao walked into the living room and saw Liang Guowei, his smile disappeared immediately.

Madam said, "It's rare for Young Master Liang to come over, so I asked him to stay for dinner."

Sha Yanyao glanced at Miss Tian, ​​and after two seconds of a strange expression, he smiled and said, "Yes, Master Liang, it's rare for you to come here, so stay for dinner."

Liang Guowei smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Gui'er had hoped that Sha Yanyao would help her, but that was not the case. Fortunately, there were only a few people at the Sha Mansion dinner, and Liang Guowei did not dare to flirt with Gui'er in public. Therefore, during dinner, apart from flattering each other, nothing happened that worried her.

After finishing the meal, Liang Guowei was still a little reluctant to leave, so he said to Guier, "Guier, let's go to the movies tomorrow."

Are you kidding? The cinema was pitch black, and Guier could guess what he was thinking even with her eyes closed.

Gui Er smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Master Liang. I have to go to class."

Liang Guowei smiled and said to his wife, "Madam, it seems that Miss Gui'er still doesn't trust me."

The lady smiled and said, "She is timid. We are ladies from a well-off family and have been brought up very strictly. That's how it is. Please bear with her. Come visit us more often when you have time."

This was a little beyond Gui'er's expectations. She thought that no matter what Liang Guowei asked for, the lady would agree to it as long as she could please him.

When Liang Guowei heard his wife say this, he smiled and said nothing. Then they chatted for a while about the day before Liang Guowei said goodbye.
