Chapter 6 Chapter Six

In the car, Xia Heli said: Lai, I'm going to take you to Luo Xiulan's apartment now.I wish I had been the first to tell her about Melobe.I'd like to know, too, what happened to that goddam pendant. I do not mind.I said: You paid the money anyway, and you can use my time as you please. I saw his hands shaking as he lit the engine.The car was still coughing when he shifted into high gear.At the second intersection, he ran a red light, backed up and hit the front bumper of a car parked behind. I'm going to drive.I said. Well, I'm shaking a bit. I got out of the car and went around the front of the car.He moved from the car to where I was supposed to be sitting, and I opened the left door and got behind the wheel.We came to the West End to enter the high-end residential area.Xia Heli told me where to park.I specifically asked him if he wanted me to go in with him.He said yes.

Luo Xiulan didn't see me at first.She screamed and ran to Xia Heli happily.He wanted to be serious, but she put her arms around his neck, bent her calf off the ground, and shouted: Uncle Haley!Give him a kiss on the cheek. Uncle Heli barely vacated his lips and said: Miss Luo, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine, Mr. Lai Tangnuo. She put Xia Heli down, blushed, and was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to me, asking me to shake hands with her, and at the same time let us enter the room and sit down. She is brown-haired, crisp, and passionate like a dark opal.Her figure is definitely on the Playboy calendar.Curves, eyes, legs, none of them are missing.At present, she is showing a responsible, dignified and demure manner, but the effect is not necessarily outstanding. It still cannot resist her mischievous upturned nose, thick lips, and small mouth.The expression flitted across her face like the shadow of a cloud on a mountain.

She wiped off the lipstick marks on Xia Heli's cheeks with a handkerchief.On the one hand, I use the mirror on the powder box to look at myself, use my little finger, lipstick, and touch up makeup to make my lips red and thick like a ripe weed, waiting for others to eat.She spoke with enthusiasm, like a machine gun fired. Uncle Heli, it's time for you to come.Have you forgotten when was the last time you came here?What are you doing, damaging yourself with your work?You work too hard.You have to have leisure.You didn't mean to take me to Colombia.What's so good about being a cow or a horse?What should we do? What's the matter?You seem to tell me, what's wrong?

Xia Heli cleared his throat, fumbled to take out his cigarette case, and looked at me helplessly. I raise my eyebrows. Xia Heli nodded to me. I said: What we bring you is not good news, Miss Luo. The little finger that just finished the lip makeup work stays at the corner of the lip.Her head didn't move, but her dark eyes rolled and looked at me from the top of the compact lid mirror. no?she asked, still not moving. I said: Sometime this afternoon, Melobo was killed. The powder box fell from her hand, hit her knee, and fell to the carpet with powder. I didn't take my eyes off my face.died?she asked.

Yes. How did you die? murder. murder? Yes. Who did it? I said: So far, no one knows.When did you give him your emerald pendant. What emerald pendant? It was bequeathed to you by Hou Coral. You mean the jasper pendant? Yes. God!She said: this one. Xia Heli narrowed his eyes.How about it?He asked: You need money, don't you, Xiulan?You go to Melobo and ask him to sell the pendant for you.Why don't you come to me.why don't you accept The look on her face made him stop automatically, it was a look of incomprehension. Need money?she asked. Yes, you don't want money for what?Of course it's because you want money, otherwise you wouldn't sell it

But I don't want money.She said: To be honest, what I want is something a little more trendy.I asked Mr. Mai to negotiate for me because he is smarter than me.I want to trade this old fashioned pendant How long ago?Xia Heli asked. She narrowed her eyes: Let me see, should it be? the day before yesterday?yesterday?Xia Heli urged her to speak. Her eyes opened wide in surprise: Uncle Heli, this happened three or four months ago.It's been four months. Xia Heli said: After so many delays, have you What delay? Xia Heli looked at me.I said: What should Mr. Mai do with the pendant? She said: "He sold it on my terms.There is a man named Qiu who specializes in this type of business.I don't know how he does it anyway, he accepts this kind of stuff, and it can be exchanged.The price he offered was quite reasonable. Of course, it was Mr. Mai who contacted

How much?Xia Heli interrupted. She blushed and said: I'd better not say it at the moment.The transaction was a success.Mr. Mai thought it was almost the same, so I accepted it.You know, beforehand, Mr. Mak showed the things to several jewelers. What did you do with the money? She held out her hand and put a huge diamond ring on her finger: I'm getting a little tired of jade and things like that.Honestly too much to watch.I bought this ring.The extra is in the bank. Xia Heli looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I hinted at him, but he didn't understand.Seeing the current silence made everyone froze in embarrassment.I said to Xia Heli: "Okay, if you don't want to ask questions, I have to ask."I turned to Miss Luo.I asked: Did some of the money go to Holup?

She was furious.Two red clouds quickly climbed up her cheeks.Anger flashed in her eyes: what right do you have to ask such a question?None of your business? I'll look at Xia Heli.It's up to him to mediate. He wanted to say something, but restrained himself. The lady's chin poked upwards, and she intentionally extended her back to me a little bit. Although I was still standing where I was, it seemed that I had been driven out of the room by her psychologically. Uncle Heli, why did he have to die?She said: He is a good person, so kind, so considerate of others, so generous.It's rare for a man to be as good as he is.

Xia Heli nodded. Suddenly, she walked towards him impulsively, sat on the armrest of the sofa where he was sitting, and gently stroked his half-white hair with her hand, without any scruples, she burst into tears. Tears ruined all the makeup on her face, but she didn't care anymore.The mascara mixed with the tears left two gray streaks on the cheeks.I remembered seeing a factory with poor environmental protection. When it rained for the first time after a long drought, the raindrops mixed with dust slid down the glass windows. Uncle Heli, take care of yourself.She half-choked and said: Now, I have only one relative in the world, you.

From Uncle Heli's face, we can see how useful her words are. Why do you say that, Shirley?he asks. Because I love you so much, and because oh, Uncle Haley, I feel so alone in this world. Did Melober reveal anything in particular?He asked: Did you say anything that made you think he was in danger? She shook her face, which was messed up by the muddy water. I don't understand.Xia Heli said: I really don't understand.I don't understand at all. He put his hands on her waist, patted her buttocks, and stood up from the sofa with difficulty.I must go, Shirley.He said: There are many things to do, and I have to send Lai back to his office.I only wanted to delay here for a minute.

She is kind to me now.After crying for a while, as soon as the resentment came out in my heart, I no longer despised me.She put her soft little hand into mine and sobbed some kind words.She looked at Xia Heli with concern.He flinched a little, afraid of the lipstick on her lips.I wonder if he will be so reserved when he visits alone. When the door was closed, her eyes found his.Don't come back, Heli.Please come back as soon as possible. He reassures her, and we walk down the corridor together. Suddenly I asked: You said she would never receive a dime from the inheritance if Holup didn't, did you? Yes. I was thinking to myself, if this is true, she would gain nothing by flattering Xia Heli like this.If Holup, because he gambles and spends money, so the trustee does not give him money, and Luo Xiulan, because she is a good girl, she gets a lot of extra money, can explain why she has to work so hard on Uncle Heli . I said: This apartment needs money. He nodded. Besides the monthly money from the inheritance, does she have other sources of income? He was all about saying it wasn't my business.But he said: Of course there is, but I don't know how much. He was in a state of being willing to be asked, while I was in a state of eagerness to ask.How much do you give her every month?How much is she entitled to per month? About 500 yuan per month. Is it the same for Holup? He nodded. He should be fine. It should have been passable.But he is a risky gambler.He has his auto repair business done well and not necessarily wholeheartedly.He's in debt.I want him to work and start a new life. You said that Ms. Luo does not need to work for other income? No work required. Must be an investment? Yes, she is very fine, as fine as a hound.It's strange that I don't know where she thought something would happen to me.No way. I like the way she thinks.Never assume that the world is as safe and orderly as many would have you believe.The world is cruel when you really want me to take you back to the office, Lai.I don't want to talk for now, please let me be quiet for a while. He drove me to our office building.He parked the car and broke his own rules.He said: "In a moment I will go to your office, clear the money and study my situation. That's not necessary.I can tell you right now. I mean, settle the bill. I mean it too. The five hundred yuan I paid should be refunded to me with a little balance, right? I said: Don't have such thoughts. He looked at me incomprehensibly. It's useless to argue, I said: Don't you know Baisha? You mean she's greedy? Insatiable is a character that describes a person.I said: In this case, she has already got it.Before she got the five hundred yuan, she was insatiable.Now, she has got it, that is seeking skin from a tiger. He blinked at me twice, like he didn't know what I was talking about.He said: Yes, I think you know her better.Absently he drove the car away.
