No. 3, Jing'an Lane, Lu Ming has not been here for a long time. This is his first house in Donghai. Standing in the alley and looking at the balcony of this two-story building, Lu Ming felt inexplicably excited. There was a hint of emotion.

I came here with Hanzhu, met Pan Mila and Bisi, and then met Bizhu.

I have sat here many times thinking about problems on this small balcony that I can see when I look up. In particular, I worry about whether I can escape the unpredictable pursuit during this trip. For this reason, I have stayed up all night.

All of this seems not to have happened very long ago, but when I think about the hesitation I felt when I first came to the East China Sea, it feels like a lifetime ago.

This small balcony has also changed its appearance. It is filled with pots and pots of flowers, and the pergola has been replaced with a colorful felt cloth with Western characters on it, making the place much more lively and more Westernized. Look, the people living here are Westerners.

The small door from the balcony to the inner room creaked, and a tall and thin figure walked out. It was Jeff Stewart, Pamela's father.

But at this time, he was no longer an alcoholic. He wore a black tuxedo, a top hat, and a civilized staff in his hand. He looked like a meticulous gentleman. After opening the door, he saw Lu Ming under the balcony, and his eyes immediately lit up. , walked down the balcony quickly, with a flattering smile on his face, completely different from the gentleman just now, "Director Lu, you are here, I was going to pick you up outside, come on, please."

Lu Ming felt helpless, probably because of the tragic experience and almost being hanged as a murderer. The temperament of this former nobleman changed drastically. Even Pan Mila said that his father had completely changed. He had never been like this before. He never gave her a smile, especially after she dropped out of school. It was this father who drove her out of the house very harshly.

But judging from her father's high expectations for her, Pamela did not hate her father.

Deep in her heart, Pan Mila has always respected and feared her father. In her eyes, her father is the tallest person in the world. She has always been sad because she disappointed her father.

However, now her father has completely changed, and he even often tries to flatter his daughter when he talks.

Pan Mila said that she didn't even want to go home and felt uncomfortable seeing her father like this.

"Uncle Stuart..." Before Lu Ming could finish his words, Stuart had already sighed and waved his hands, "Director Lu, I told you, just call me Jeff. Our tradition is that there is no hierarchy, and we have a good relationship. Friends and relatives, the better the relationship, the more casual they will be. They call each other by their first names, but you are my boss and investor, so I can’t call you Qianxing directly.”

Lu Ming was helpless.

I invested in an art museum for Stuart.

Because before the final bankruptcy, Pan Mila's Stewart family should have been inferior to each other from generation to generation. Pan Mila's father only had an art gallery in the family, but it was enough to support the family. The nobles lived decently.

So, Stewart is very familiar with this business.

Carry out various fee-based exhibitions, and also conduct art sales, such as calligraphy, famous paintings, sculptures, etc.

I think Stewart also likes this kind of life. It should be his favorite to go back to the days of the past and walk in the art gallery every day with the gentlemanly style he has now.

But unfortunately, some things can never go back to the past.

Seeing the flattering smile on his face, Lu Ming sighed inwardly.

……

Accompanied by Stuart's enthusiasm, Lu Ming went up to the balcony and entered the inner room.

"Ava, Ava! Come out quickly!" Stewart shouted as he entered the room.

As soon as the door in the kitchen rang, Pan Mila's mother came out wiping her hands. Lu Ming was a little dazed for a moment. Please have dinner at home while his mother-in-law cooked. When he came out of the kitchen wiping his hands, he felt that this was a traditional Chinese family style. .

"Aunt..." Before Lu Ming could finish his words, Stewart interrupted and said with a smile: "We are all relatives, just like me, just call her Ava."

Pan Mila's mother looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Lu, please call me Evana." Ava, after all, is a nickname. It's okay for elders to call her that, but she is not related by blood and is not so familiar to the younger generation of the opposite sex. It's still a bit inappropriate to call it this way.

Lu Ming nodded lightly.

Pan Mila's mother's complexion has improved a lot, but her blond hair, which is already slightly pale, cannot return to its previous color. It looks very dry and older, and the crow's feet cannot be concealed, but it is no longer like the first time they met. That kind of old lady has the feeling that she still has the charm of a MILF.

"Mr. Lu, please give me some soup. It will be ready soon. However, I have just learned Chinese cuisine, so please forgive me if it doesn't suit my taste." After Evana finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen.

"Come, come, Director Lu, let's have tea!" Stewart said with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded.

Pan Mila's mother personally called her yesterday and invited her to come for dinner. She also said that she could just come by herself and there was no need to tell Pan Mila.

It seems that she has wanted to date him many times, but Pan Mila stopped her every time.

Sitting on the sofa and taking the tea cup from Stuart, Lu Ming asked: "Uncle, aunt asked me to come. Do you know what you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Ming must insist on calling him "uncle". Stuart looked helpless and shook his head, but in his heart, it was still very useful.

"It's okay, Ava. I always feel that Paula has suffered a lot. She sheds tears when talking about her. I guess I just want to ask you to treat Paula well. Don't listen to her. If you want me to say it, Paula If your life is good, why suffer? If your life is not good, can you meet Mr. Lu?"

Lu Ming scratched his head helplessly. No matter what, this was his father-in-law-to-be, and it was too awkward to talk to him like this.

The door to the balcony was lightly knocked, and Stewart responded. The door opened, and a blue-skirted affairs officer hurried in. He came to Lu Ming and whispered: "Boss, Mr. Liu Shoufu's phone call is about something urgent. I must call you." You go and listen.”

Liu Shoufu is Liu Laocai.

I have been to the Western Regions since the year before. I have been very busy since the new year and have not paid much attention to him.

"Tell him to call here!" Lu Ming looked at the figures busy in the kitchen.

"Yes!" The little affairs officer hurried away.

"Have a car phone?!" Although Stewart was depressed, he knew all these new gadgets. His eyes lit up when he spoke, and he obviously wanted to see them.

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes."

Although the car I took was not installed because it took up too much space, one of the cars following me must have a car phone system installed.

Moreover, the system is developing rapidly. After the year, 20 dedicated lines have been opened in Donghai.

A few minutes later, the phone rang. Stuart picked it up and handed the phone to Lu Ming with both hands.

Lu Ming had no choice but to take it. Liu Laocai's loud voice came from the microphone: "Qian Xing, Qian Xing?!"

"It's me." Lu Ming coughed.

"That's nonsense. I was jumped by an immortal and raped. Now I'm in their police station, called the Sheriff's Station. The Sheriff asked me to negotiate a settlement with my husband over there. He opened his mouth and asked me 300,000, otherwise, they will be punished with death and beheading for forced annihilation..." Liu Laocai almost cried when he spoke, "Qian Xing... Hey, don't..." Pa, it seems like someone has robbed the phone. passed.

Then, a man with a stiff tone also spoke in Central Continent, "Empire, bank, Bate City, branch, account number..." he jumped word by word. After registering the account number, "Three days, within... …”

Then, bang, the phone went dead.

Lu Ming was stunned, anxious, and dumbfounded.

The first time I met Liu Laocai was when he was accused of obscenity. Why did he go round and round and go back to before liberation overnight? But this time the crime went one step further and turned into a real rapist?

But there are hundreds of city-states in the Western Regions with different laws. In some city-states, the laws are extremely cruel.

Lu Ming picked up the phone, dialed a number, and made several calls. The first one was to ask someone to contact Fila Petroleum’s representative office in Batecheng. Liu Laocai didn’t say that he was invited by Fila Petroleum to play. Of? We also want to see what is going on with the property rights dispute in the oil field. How could something like this happen? Where is the representative of Fila Petroleum?

The second one is a secret business partner of his, who is engaged in telegraph and telephone operations. It just so happens that his recent development focus is on opening up the market in the Western Regions.

The remaining ones include those who are familiar with the laws of the Western Regions in terms of law, especially the Bate city-state. Are there any who are familiar with its laws? There are also those who are familiar with the customs and customs there, etc.

The call lasted for more than an hour. When Lu Ming hung up, he woke up and saw that no one was in the living room.

As if I heard that I had finished the phone call, the bedroom door opened, and Evana and the Stewarts came out.

"Mr. Lu, if you have something to do, just do your business." Evana sighed, "It turns out that Mr. Lu is really busy. I thought Paula didn't want me to see you."

Lu Ming hesitated and stood up, "Aunt, uncle, I'm really sorry. Something happened to a very good friend of mine. I have to deal with it. Originally, I wanted to meet my aunt this afternoon. , Uncle, I want to go to the art museum, but I’m afraid I can’t do it, so I can only have lunch with you two.”

"Director Lu, it's all big and important things for you! We don't need you to accompany us, so go get busy!" Stewart said hurriedly.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, I can't leave hungry?"

"That's right!" Evana rolled her eyes at her husband, "Come on, kid, come and eat! It's important to help friends solve their problems, but we also have to eat."

"Mr. Lu" became "child", which shows that his impression of Lu Ming is getting better and better.

……

In the black car, Lu Ming looked at his watch and calendar from time to time, thinking about something.

Pan Mila's mother's cooking skills are really good. Although she made a temporary decision when she became a monk, she still cooks several Central Asian dishes that are quite authentic.

Moreover, he didn’t talk about his affairs with Pan Mila. He didn’t expect that he would wipe his tears and ask him to take good care of Pan Mila, or ask himself whether he could divorce his other concubines.

This meal was very comfortable, just chatting about homely things, but I asked a lot about Pamela's childhood and girlhood.

Pan Mila's mother is indeed extraordinary, elegant in conversation and extraordinary in knowledge. However, in traditional aristocratic families, women take care of their husbands and raise their children and do not work. Otherwise, Pan Mila's family will not go bankrupt.

In fact, it’s not just aristocratic families. In today’s Western family life, in many families, the husband goes out to work and the woman is responsible for taking care of the home, which is similar to that in the West at the same time.

On the other hand, among people from Central China, women tend to do more things.

Speaking of what happened when Pan Mila was a child, I originally endured it and didn't ask Bisi who her father was.

But it was Stewart, who drank two more drinks and suddenly scolded the guy. However, Pamela's mother interrupted the conversation and urged Stewart to go back to his room to rest, so the topic did not continue.

But that sounds like what I mean, that guy’s background is not very good. He is a Western gangster who often hangs out near aristocratic schools. He is very handsome, but he is very miserable. He dares to hook up with aristocratic ladies and is hated by the conservative aristocrats. , joined forces to carry out the lynching secretly, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, and Pan Mila doesn't know this either.

Thinking about it randomly, Lu Ming said to the front, "Go to the Freedom Building."
