During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

Chapter 17 Zhao Gang fooled Butterfly, but she was not stupid

Zhao Gang and Butterfly chatted for a long time, and the topic revolved around modern history.

He expressed his hatred for the Japanese devils without any reservation, and this emotion deeply infected Butterfly.

She realized that the young master of the Zhao family was not only talented, but also had a patriotic heart.

In addition, she noticed that Zhao Gang treated the maids around him very kindly and even shared his precious coffee with her, which was almost unimaginable in other families.

Then, Butterfly began to talk about her past.

Once upon a time, she had good development prospects in the Magic City and earned a good income, but because of her outstanding appearance, she attracted the pursuit of many young men.

Among them were many Sakura people, who regarded themselves as "civilized people" and pursued her passionately.

However, Butterfly was not a frivolous person. Moreover, as a woman who studied traditional arts, she had deep feelings for her country and nation. Therefore, she firmly rejected the pursuit of those devils many times.

Yes, this is not just one Japanese devil, but a group of them.

These people used the reputation of the Japanese devils to successfully scare away the young men who were pursuing butterflies.

Then they started to threaten her boss. Although the boss had some skills, he was still not strong enough to face the Japanese devils.

However, the boss did not want to give up the talent he had trained easily, so he suggested that Butterfly leave the Magic City and return to her hometown, Dragon City.

In Longcheng, although there are still many Japanese devils, the situation is relatively better.

Even the Japanese didn't dare to go there and cause trouble.

So, Butterfly followed her boss's advice and returned to Longcheng.

Before long, she was favored by a local wealthy family and was invited to join the Sanle Troupe to perform opera.

The family also promised to support her and ensure her safety here.

After listening to Butterfly's story, Zhao Gang felt a strong desire to protect her.

How could such a beautiful woman be bullied? No man would be able to tolerate such a thing!

"Butterfly girl is really powerful. It's your luck to have her protection." Zhao Gang praised.

After hearing this, Butterfly Girl shook her head and said, "Mr. Zhao, you don't know that I can bring them at least 100,000 yuan in revenue every year, and I can only take 1,000 yuan. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Zhao Gang opened his mouth in surprise: "This is really cruel!"

The butterfly girl smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, although I don't need foster parents, I still have expenses for my own life."

She sighed and continued, "Don't worry if you laugh at my monthly expenses. One thousand is not enough. I still owe money to the other party. This time I came to your house to perform and I received some rewards. This is my personal reward, so I can gain something."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but curse: "Fuck, this Nima family is so cunning."

He couldn't help but think of the various loans in later generations, and he understood in his heart that this is to prevent you from stopping. As long as you stop to rest, the other party will not make any money.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever considered leaving them or moving to another place to develop?"

The butterfly girl smiled helplessly. "It's easier said than done. I don't have any choice now. Besides, I don't know if I can have other sources of income if I leave them."

Zhao Gang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your life is really not going as planned. Why don't you just find someone to marry? That way you can save yourself a lot of trouble."

When Butterfly Girl heard this, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, you're joking. Who would be willing to marry a woman of my status?"

After saying that, she sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Butterfly rolled her eyes at Zhao Gang, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Do you think they will easily let go of me, a golden rooster that can earn 100,000 yuan a year?"

Her tone revealed confidence in her own worth.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang's mind turned and a smile appeared on his face: "There is a way, but I don't know if you dare to try it."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Cui said softly, "Master, the owner of the Sanle Troupe invited Miss Butterfly to sing in the opera. He said it's about to begin."

Zhao Gang responded, "Okay, I understand. Tell the owner to wait a moment. I'm talking to Miss Butterfly about coffee."

Then, he turned to look at Butterfly and said with a teasing smile, "Look, your Three Music Band leader is getting really anxious, worried that you might stay here too long and not want to leave."

Butterfly rolled her eyes at him again, but a happy smile spread across her face: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what method you just mentioned."

Zhao Gang chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Haha, if you encounter bandits on your way back, get kidnapped, and become someone's concubine, what will the big family do?"

"Go away, this is not a good plan at all. You are going to make me stay in the mountains for the rest of my life." Zhao Gang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha, there's coffee in the valley. It's delicious. Try it."

Zhao Gang jokingly handed a cup of coffee to Butterfly, and then started drinking it himself.

The two of them had been chatting for so long that she almost forgot about the coffee.

"Hmm...it tastes good!" Butterfly picked up the cup and took a sip, exclaiming in praise.

"Haha, that's good. You go and do your work first, and we'll talk after you're done." Zhao Gang said.

"Well, okay, I'll go sing first. Your idea just now was not a good one. I want to live an upright life. I don't want to live in hiding somewhere like that. That's really meaningless."

After saying this, Butterfly left Zhao Gang's room and went straight to put on makeup and prepare to perform.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh as he watched the butterfly leave.

"This woman is really amazing. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also smart and clever. One can't help but admire her."

An hour later, bursts of noise came from outside the door. The sound became louder and louder, as if the whole world was occupied by this noise.

It turned out that the banquet had begun, and people were enjoying the delicious food and wonderful performances with laughter and joy.

Zhao Gang was also infected by this joyful atmosphere and his mood gradually became cheerful.

He then left the room, prepared to have dinner, and then continued to enjoy the opera performance.

However, when he walked to the dinner table, he found an unexpected situation - there were several unfamiliar faces sitting next to his father, and they were chatting and laughing with his father.

A hint of doubt arose in Zhao Gang's heart, but more of curiosity.

So he walked over slowly, wanting to find out what was going on.

When Butler Liu noticed that the young master had come out, he immediately greeted him with a smile and told Zhao Gang that the meal could begin.

He pointed to a seat and said, "Master, now that you're here, we can start the meal. You can sit here. This seat is perfect for watching the opera."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, then followed Butler Liu's instructions and sat in the designated seat.

This location is really good, both comfortable and allowing you to fully watch the opera performance.

Yes, tonight’s dinner will be held outside the Zhao Mansion because the opera will be performed for everyone to see.

Mr. Zhao deliberately chose this arrangement, which not only allows everyone to share happy times together, but also shows his care for ordinary people.
