Chapter 842: The Rights and Wrongs of Celebrities
I once again felt the truth of the saying that you can’t change who you are.
Xiao Qin’s father, Huo ZhenBang, actually ssed with the class leader’s mom in Shanghai!
I thought he went to Shanghai to cure his AIDS, but he had bad thoughts right when he saw a beautiful researcher… it looks like he still hasn’t changed his ways. No wonder Auntie Ren wasn’t willing to forgive him.
“Sha Sha, don’t you want to be a police officer in the future?” Auntie Lin asked the class leader.
The class leader nodded blankly. I’m not sure if it was because she was being pampered by her mother these past few days, but her Justice Devil aura had completely disappeared. It was as if she had turned into a normal student who had done sothing wrong and was being criticized by her mother.
“So people naturally want to maintain order, while other people naturally want to destroy order.” Auntie Lin shifted her gaze back to , “Ye Lin is known as the boss of 28 Middle, right? It’s likely that he’ll beco a triad mber in the future…”
It looks like Auntie Lin is quite prejudiced against . Since she was being bothered by Huo ZhenBang, she must have also seen Huo ZhenBang’s bodyguards, the “Dragon, Tiger, Leopard” trio. Uncle Long was tall and sturdy, and his face was stern. He really had a lot of similarities with , so that’s probably why she said I’ll be a triad mber in the future.
“Ye Lin… he won’t join the triads in the future.” The class leader hesitated for a while before answering, “He promised that he would never beco a criminal…”
Huh, was she referring to the ti when we were by the river at Cui Song Mountain where she told to “not beco a criminal and cause her trouble”?
Auntie Lin’s face changed, “What, so you’ve already reached the point of making agreents? If Ye Lin promised you he won’t beco a criminal, what did you promise him?”
“I, I didn’t promise him anything…”
The class leader’s head drooped down and a lock of long hair that was resting on her shoulder slid down to her chest.
Liar, you clearly said in your text ssage that as long as I co back alive, you will marry … but that would be considered a promise made due to an emotional outburst. If I ntioned it now, not only will the class leader be shocked at how I know the contents of the text ssage, but it will also make Auntie Lin angrier.
“An agreent is made between two people. If you didn’t promise him anything, why would he promise you that he won’t be a criminal in the future.”
It sounds like Auntie Lin is saying being a triad mber is a promising job for .
Actually, if you think about it, I do have so innate advantages of joining the triads. The day before yesterday, I was standing in front of a vegetable stall playing with my phone, then the vegetable vendor said to , “I already paid the protection fee this morning.”
Not everyone can remind soone to pay protection fees without having to say a word.
Also, during the ti I was in contact with Huo ZhenBang, he intentionally or maybe unintentionally wanted to “see” more of the world. He even gave tickets to underground boxing matches, probably because he wanted to be his henchman.
Since his eldest son died in a firefight with Arican gangsters, did I beca a candidate for his successor in his eyes? Does he treat as a “son-in-law” due to my relationship with Xiao Qin?
If I make up my mind and beco a triad mber, then I might really be able to make it to the top and beco the head of a big criminal organization.
“Auntie Lin, I did promise the class leader that I wouldn’t beco a criminal in the future.”
Auntie Lin waited for to continue.
“Although I look a bit like a triad mber, and the people I know… also look like they’re in the triad, but I know that once I beco a criminal in the future, the class leader who wants to be a police officer will be my opponent. I heard that the class leader is a good marksman, I’m just afraid of death…”
My statent was half-true, but it explained why I promised the class leader that I won’t beco a criminal and also why I didn’t tell the class leader to give sothing.
Auntie Lin narrowed her eyes as she showed signs of doubt on her face.
“Even if Sha Sha did beco a police officer, or even a special police officer, there’s no need for her to specifically focus on you.”
“Um…” my brain short-circuited, “I have a very special thod of committing cris, which would make the class leader notice .”
It was clear what I said was very idiotic as it made Auntie Lin’s face darken.
“What, are you guys playing cops and robbers?” Auntie Lin touched the outside of the pot that held the stewed beef to make sure the dish was still warm.
“It sounds like you think you’re being righteous and contributing to society… but you guys are actually making pledge to give yourself to each other, right? What’s the difference from young people who promise each other to go to the sa university and stay in the sa city in the future?”
The class leader’s face suddenly turned redder than the dish of tomatoes on the table.
“Mom, how can you say that…”
“Yeah.” I chid in, “Mom, how could you…”
“What did you call ?” Auntie Lin’s eyes almost spewed fire and it scared so much that I almost bit my own tongue.
Because the al was in danger of getting cold, Auntie Lin told us to fill our stomachs first and talk later.
The class leader lost her appetite and ate only a little bit of the food, but her bowl of rice was cleaned out without a single grain left.
I, on the other hand, turned my grief into an appetite and seized the opportunity to eat as much beef as I could. Even if I get shot later, I would at least die with a full stomach.
Of course, I still had to drink the three bowls of broccoli soup that Auntie Lin poured for and I couldn’t muddle my way through it.
It was very unpleasant to drink… but at least it was made by soone with excellent cooking skills who intentionally made it hard to drink. If it was a dish that Ai Mi or Winnie made, then I would have died a while ago.
After dinner, the class leader took the initiative and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. I wanted to go and help, but Auntie Lin called back.
“Don’t try to escape, sit down.”
I could only sit back down again.
“If you don’t want to join the triads in the future, then have you thought about what kind of work you want to do?”
Auntie Lin asked.
The class leader had asked a similar question before, and at the ti I said irresponsibly, “I can go to a construction site and move bricks.”, but I can’t really say that now.
I can’t really ntion inheriting my dad’s online adult store either. Auntie Li doesn’t know what our family does, and if she did, she would definitely be even more prejudiced against .
Co to think of it, the job that I currently earn the most money from is being an actor. Although I only played antagonist roles like the Deaf and Mute Evil Monk and the Jin Ling Young Thug, but it’s still much better than actually being a bad guy in reality, right?
“Um… I plan to be an actor in a martial arts movie, even if it’s only as a stunt double…”
Auntie Lin appeared to be a bit surprised at my answer. She looked up and down at my obviously stronger than average body forged through hard exercise.
I perked up my pecs a little and wanted to try to win Auntie Lin’s favor.
In the end, Auntie Lin’s face quickly turned cold and she snorted, “I hate actors.”
I can understand if you don’t like the triads, but how did actors offend you?
“When I was in college, there was also a director who said I was suitable for acting and asked to co to an audition. I was curious and went with a dozen or so people who were also selected. After the audition was over, I went back to the studio to get so things I forgot, but I saw a well known mainland actor with his arms wrapped around my schoolmate and they were naked.”
I’m sure the class leader heard her mom talk about this before, that’s why she wasn’t particularly surprised.
“Afterward, only and that schoolmate passed the audition. The entertainnt industry is dirty and there’s no difference from being in the triads. By the way, that Hong Kong person also used to make movies to launder money, so you’re all the sa.”
Huo ZhenBang was asking for it when he got scolded, but I can’t agree with Auntie Lin when she said everyone in the industry is the sa.
“Auntie Lin, it’s true that there are unspoken rules in the entertainnt industry, but you can’t just think that everyone in the industry is unclean just because you’ve run into it once.”
“Actually, even if there are unspoken rules, it has nothing to do with the low to mid level actors. The stunt doubles all work hard to earn their money.”
Auntie Lin didn’t buy it, “Hmph, Jackie Chan also started as a stunt double and was kicked several dozens of ters by Bruce Lee. Now that he’s a success, he’s sleeping around, and he even kissed Song ZuYing.”
I had to give another example that I thought was safe:
“Zhang GuoRong always has a good reputation, right. There aren’t many people who worked for him who don’t praise him for his generosity…”
Auntie Lin laughed, “That’s because he’s gay. Also, didn’t Zhang GuoRong jump off a building? Why don’t you understand that good people can’t survive in the entertainnt industry?”
“Um… Jet Li is very benevolent, he created the One Foundation, and they publicly disclose usage of their funds…”
“What kind of good person would abandon their junior?”
Auntie Lin was referring to his junior Huang QiuYan, who grew up with Jet Li and practiced martial arts in the sa martial arts academy. Huang QiuYan was the female lead with Jet Li in one of his moves, and that kicked off the romantic relationship between the two of them.
However, the good tis did not last long. After Jet Li went to Hong Kong to develop, the two of them spent less and less ti together. While Jet Li was filming one of his moves, he beca acquainted with Li Chi. The two of them felt good about each other and thus started the seeds of divorce.
“Um… it’s unfortunate he wasn’t able to to walk to the end with his childhood friend.”
I thought I wouldn’t argue over celebrities, but I was arguing with the class leader’s mom about the rights and wrongs of celebrities.
“However, Jet Li isn’t exactly a person who sleeps around, right? When he divorced Huang QiuYan, he practically left all his possessions and money behind in order to apologize. He later confessed his love to Li Chi and said that ‘he was penniless’. Which really wasn’t an exaggeration since at that ti Jet Li hadn’t even fild the Once Upon a Ti in China series yet…”
“Even when Huang QiuYan ca back to shoot a move, she didn’t have any ill will towards Jet Li in the dia. She said Jet Li was very cute, very smart, had a lot of good points, he loved their daughter, he was a good father, but just too many won liked him…”
I felt like I had said sothing stupid halfway through, and as expected, the smile at the corner of Auntie Lin’s mouth beca even more terrifying.
“It sounds like you really admire Jet Li. Do you think it’s fine to abandon your wife and child as long as you use the phrase ‘there are too many won who like ’ as an excuse?”
