Chapter 505 Taiping Mountain!
Chapter 505 Taiping Mountain!
After taking a boat ride for two days and one night, the Lou family finally arrived on the land of Hong Kong.
When the freighter docked, the doors of several cars parked at the dock opened almost at the same time, and two middle-aged men who looked 70% similar to Lou Zhenhua walked out of two cars respectively.
The middle-aged man in the lead walked quickly to Lou Zhenhua and greeted Lou Zhenhua, Lou Tan and others respectfully, "Dad! Aunt Tan! Xiao'e! You have worked hard along the way."
"Dad! Aunt Tan! Little sister! Welcome to Hong Kong." Another middle-aged man looked at Lou Zhenhua and the others and greeted them warmly.
Lou Xiao'e, whose face was a little pale, greeted her two brothers happily when she saw them in front of her: "Big brother! Second brother! I haven't seen you for several years. I miss you so much."
As a well-known official in Hong Kong, he knew better than anyone that one should not put all his eggs in one basket. So after the liberation of Hong Kong, Lou Zhenhua asked his original wife to take their two children and most of the family's property to Hong Kong to start a new life. Facts have proved that Lou Zhenhua's decision was undoubtedly correct.
Lou Zhenhua looked at his two children, thinking of the reason why they left their hometown, and was glad for the decision he made. He asked them, "Qinggong! Qinghua! Is everything going well at the company in Hong Kong?"
Lou Zhenhua's eldest son, Lou Qinggong, heard Lou Zhenhua's question and immediately introduced to Lou Zhenhua: "Dad! There are many gangs in Hong Kong, so the environment outside is relatively chaotic. When we first came, people often came to our company to collect protection fees. However, with Uncle Zhong and the others here, and with the help of a foreign inspector we spent money to get in touch with, things have been relatively smooth in the past few years."
After hearing what Lou Qinggong had said, Lou Zhenhua nodded subconsciously and told his two sons, "Qinggong! Qinghua! We have brought a lot of stuff from Sijiu City this time. You should quickly arrange for people to go to the ship and move the stuff we brought from Sijiu City down. Remember to have them be careful when moving it."
When Lou Zhenhua's two children heard Lou Zhenhua's instructions, they immediately arranged for people to move things onto the boat.
After all the things were loaded into the cars, everyone got into several cars, left the Xiangjiang Pier and drove towards the city.
"Brother! What is that mountain in front of us? How could someone build a house on a mountain?" Lou Xiao'e, sitting in the car, looked out the window at the strange city in front of her. Everything seemed very strange. At this time, she saw the group of villas on the top of the mountain in the distance. An expression of surprise appeared on her face, and she asked curiously to Lou Qinggong, who was driving.
Lou Qinggong, who was driving, heard Lou Xiaoe's question and introduced it to her with a smile: "Xiaoe! That is Victoria Peak, the iconic peak of Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong was founded, Victoria Peak has always been the symbol and landmark of Hong Kong. From 1867 to 1930, Victoria Peak was the location of the villa of the Governor of Hong Kong, a symbol of power."
"Now, apart from those foreigners living on Taiping Mountain, only the dignitaries and business tycoons of Hong Kong can own a place there. Although our Lou family has some assets, compared with the people living there, it is nothing."
When Lou Xiao'e heard what Lou Qinggong had said, she thought of the address Jia Dongming had mentioned to her on the night they left Hong Kong. She asked Lou Qinggong curiously, "Brother! Do you know where Po Le Road, The Peak is?" Lou Qinggong, who was driving, was puzzled when he heard the place name Lou Xiao'e mentioned. He asked Lou Xiao'e curiously, "Xiao'e! Haven't you never been to Hong Kong? How do you know Po Le Road, The Peak? The people who live there are all Hong Kong business tycoons."
Lou Xiao'e originally thought that the house that Jia Dongming had prepared for her in Hong Kong was just an ordinary small Western-style building. But after hearing what Lou Qinggong had introduced, Lou Xiao'e felt as if her heart was turned upside down, and she was extremely shocked.
Lou Xiao'e finally came to her senses after hearing Lou Qinggong's question, and quickly answered, "Brother! A friend of mine in the city of Beijing said that his relatives live on Po Le Road on the top of the Victoria Peak. I just heard you talk about the situation on the Victoria Peak, so I asked out of curiosity."
"What! Xiao'e! Your friend in Sijiu City, his relatives live on Taiping Mountain, is this true?" When Lou Qinggong heard what Lou Xiao'e introduced, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly confirmed the news with Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Qinggong's question and felt the other party's shock. She nodded subconsciously and replied, "Brother! My friend told me so. He also said that if I encounter any difficulties in Hong Kong, I can go there to ask his relatives for help."
When Lou Qinggong heard what Lou Xiao'e had said, he was immediately overjoyed and asked her, "Xiao'e! Is what you said true? Did your friend really say that?"
Lou Qinggong's reaction made Lou Xiao'e feel very puzzled, because she really didn't understand why her elder brother had such a reaction after hearing what she said. Thinking of Jia Dongming's instructions to her before leaving, Lou Xiao'e wanted to go to the address Jia Dongming gave her immediately to take a look.
Facing Lou Qinggong's question, Lou Xiao'e answered with certainty: "Brother! This is absolutely true, because the friend I mentioned is the biological father of the child in my belly. How could he fool me with such a thing?"
His sister was with a married man and was pregnant with his child. Lou Qinggong had already heard about this from Lou Zhenhua when they were in correspondence.
Originally, Lou Qinggong did not think much of the sister born to his aunt. He even planned to use Lou Xiao'e to form an alliance with a family in Hong Kong after she gave birth to the child. Now that he learned that the father of the child actually had such a powerful background in Hong Kong, he had to carefully consider his previous plan.
With this thought in mind, Lou Qinggong said to Lou Xiao'e with mixed feelings: "Xiao'e! Since Jia Dongming has this connection in Hong Kong, we should make use of it. I will prepare some gifts for you tomorrow morning, and then you can go visit Jia Dongming's friend."
If conditions allowed, Lou Xiao'e would have wanted to go to the villa on the top of the mountain to take a look. Lou Qinggong's arrangement was just what Lou Xiao'e wanted, so she nodded and replied, "Brother! I'll go take a look tomorrow morning."
