Chapter 31: The Beauty Emerges from the Water as a Lotus!

  Thank you, Buddha!

  Fu Hong, with the air of a victor, looked at Du Haisheng with pride and said: "I also saw that article just now, the words are sharp and it's indeed a showcase of your literary skills, just like your martial arts. However, since the workers' inspection team has successfully revolted, all of Shanghai is immersed in the joy of victory, so publishing this article at this time is quite inappropriate."

  Du Haisheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I just wrote down what I thought in my heart. As for whether anyone listens or not, it's not something I can control. And this matter, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, remember not to reveal any clues to others. I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life."

  "I'm afraid your goal is not just an ordinary person's life, if so, why bother to save us and publish this article. What you are desperately trying to cover up is not yourself, but your inner self."

  In a sentence, she didn't understand why this man in front of her, who obviously had extraordinary abilities and a broad vision beyond ordinary people, insisted on concealing his true capabilities, especially in the Zhao family apartment. Even if it meant risking being driven out by Zhao Tianming, he didn't mention the process of saving himself at all. Was it cowardice or a deliberate cover-up for future ambitions?

  The man in front of her was like being veiled with a thin gauze, making it impossible for her to understand, grasp or fathom him. The closer she got, the more she felt that beneath his ordinary appearance lay an extraordinary heart.

  It is obvious that Fu Hong would never attribute everything he did to weakness, but rather thought that he was so and so for endurance, enduring for a while, accumulating thinness and bursting forth, once rising, it would be a magnificent feat that shocked heaven and earth and cried out ghosts and gods.

  It's precisely because of this curiosity that she has a better impression of the man in front of her and wants to find something from him.

  Du Haisheng heard this sentence, his body obviously paused, and his expression was also stunned, but he didn't know how to respond.

  "Wood eleven, sounds like a great pen name, haha!"

  Seeing the other party not responding, Fu Hong smiled slightly, implying deeply, Du Haisheng's body shook again, and he couldn't help but blame himself. Grandma, others don't know, can people who recognize themselves still not understand? Du is clearly a combination of Mu and eleven, fortunately Wu Tianyun did not consider this aspect, and Zhao Wei'er, who was heartless and careless, didn't care about these things at all.

  What a close call...

  He is now somewhat nervous, but in this Shanghai beach, few people know him, so it doesn't matter to use this pen name, and he will have his own way of explaining things at that time.

  Du Haisheng never thought that the first person to break his alias would be this ghostly and clever girl in front of him. Turning it over in his mind, it seemed that if anyone else had guessed, it would have been even more unexpected. Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising after all - a beautiful woman with a clever mind and innate beauty, heh heh, having her as his wife made his heart flutter with excitement.

  Unfortunately, his beauty was instantly shattered when Zhao Wei'er changed clothes and turned into a bubble shadow...

  At this moment, Zhao Wei was wearing a white evening gown, standing at the staircase entrance with a confident smile. She seemed to have passed through a garden of flowers, with petals stuck all over her body. The gentle stream flowed clearly, and the lotus flower emerged from the water, revealing its beauty. Her naturally beautiful skin was on full display, and her slender figure swayed gently like a willow tree in the breeze. With an air of arrogance and nobility, she exuded confidence, yet there was a hint of playfulness. The haughtiness in her eyes couldn't hide the pure innocence behind them.

  Like an angel, yet with the physique of a devil; like a devil, yet with the smile of an angel. Such a woman is destined to be the object of admiration for all people, regardless of age or sex.

  Her appearance left Du Haisheng, Zhang Ma and Fu Hong speechless with envy, and even the three of them rubbed their eyes at the same time, not daring to believe that the woman in front of them was actually the spoiled young lady of the Zhao family.

  She is now completely connected with Jiaoman, a living angel descending to earth to save men.

  People are clothes and horses are saddles, this sentence is indeed true, Du Haisheng sighed secretly.

  After glancing for a moment, he then fixed his gaze on Fu Hong again.

  At this time, Fu Hong was wearing a pale blue cheongsam, her hair styled in a neat bun, with silken strands falling down like a silver waterfall on her shoulders, occasionally a few strands fell in front of her face, bringing a hint of charm.

  If Zhao Wei is a water lily, passing through the cluster of flowers, getting a body wrapped in hundreds of flowers, then Fu Hong is that blue sky, as vast as the ocean, as vast as the sky, like clouds floating, illusory, not gorgeous but enough to be stunning. The two people's dressing is just like their personalities, Zhao Wei's red is fiery and hot, Fu Hong's blue is calm and serene.

  Comparing the two people now, Du Haisheng surprisingly can't tell them apart, they are evenly matched, originally being like fire and water, but standing together they complement each other perfectly, echoing each other from afar, looking so harmonious.

  Even Du Haisheng, who used to firmly believe that "birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into classes", couldn't help but wonder if this saying was right or wrong. At least, the two women in front of him were absolute exceptions, vying with each other in a dazzling display.

  Zhao Wei's dress was too dazzling, and for a moment, the three of them forgot to breathe, forgot to praise, forgot to smile, as if space, time, and even their expressions were frozen in an instant.

  Hong Rate was the first to react, with a smile on his face, and stepped forward to tease: "You little girl, you're too enchanting, and you've completely stunned us."

  Zhao Wei'er also saw everyone's expression just now and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Really? Am I really that beautiful?"

  "Really? Really? Really?"

  As she spoke, Fu Hong pulled Zhao Wei'er down the stairs and came to Du Haisheng and Zhang Ma's face, pointing at them and saying: "If you don't believe me, you can ask these two. They are absolutely stunning beauties, so beautiful that there is nothing to say. Compared to you, even I feel a little ashamed of myself."

  Du Haisheng and Zhang Ma nodded vigorously at the sight, for an absolutely beautiful woman, everyone would not be stingy with praise.

  "It's beautiful, but you wouldn't think of wearing this evening gown on the street, would you?"

  Du Haisheng furrowed his brow, unable to help but wonder, he could clearly see that this little girl was capable of doing anything, even if it meant showing off on the main street.

  "Of course not, tomorrow is Lin Xuehuai and Hu Die's engagement ceremony, I'm invited as a special guest, at that time you two can't escape either."

  Praised by three people, Zhao Wei's heart was filled with pride and joy, to the point where she spoke with gestures, beaming with pride.

  "Butterfly..."

  Du Haisheng heard this name and suddenly felt a shock throughout his body, blurting out two words. His expression seemed somewhat discomposed!

  "What? You know him too?"

  Zhao Wei'er and Fu Hong saw Du Haisheng's face look somewhat unsightly, both with a puzzled expression, and immediately asked.

  "Oh, I don't know..."

  Du Haisheng shook his head and smiled as he explained: "I just think the name sounds nice, she should be a very beautiful woman."

  "That's natural..."

  Zhao Wei'er raised the corners of her mouth high, as if she knew everything about it, and said: "Hu Die is a native Shanghainese, very beautiful, otherwise why would she be called Hu Die?"

  Isn't this all nonsense?

  Du Haisheng couldn't help but find it funny, this girl's words were equivalent to nothing, fortunately he was already used to Zhao Wei'er's neurosis, and didn't care.

  It turned out to be Fu Hong, who smiled and said: "You little girl, why are you so petty? Since I and Du Haisheng are both participating, why not make two good-looking clothes for us? Going with you, the young princess, isn't this making us lose face? It's uncertain, others will think we're your servants, it's really not enough."

  Zhaowei'er smiled awkwardly and explained: "This invitation was sent over ten or so days ago, at that time the little stinker wasn't familiar with me yet, and you weren't at my house either, how would I have known about these things later on?"

  Then with a sly smile, he said: "You're so beautiful, if I also get you a set of evening clothes, where would I go to show off? As for Haisheng brother, what if he's dressed too well and gets bullied by other girls? It's just a bit of a sacrifice for the two of you, tomorrow I will definitely be the most dazzling star."

  "Cut..."

  Her words drew simultaneous contempt and disdain from both Fu Hong and Du Haisheng.

  "It's not like you're attending a dance party, it's someone else's engagement ceremony, why are you dressed so formally? Are you trying to steal the spotlight from the bride or do you have your eyes on the groom?"

  Du Haisheng rarely had a chance to speak without being sarcastic, and one sentence made both women feel embarrassed at the same time.

  Zhao Wei's small face was flushed with anger, and then she pouted her mouth and replied haughtily: "Mind your own business!"

  "I couldn't care less!"

  Du Haisheng didn't give in either, and immediately retorted with a sentence. The two of them had an air of swords drawn and bows stretched, while Fu Hong watched with amusement, thinking that these two people still hadn't grown up, and when they argued, it was just like children.

  "Alright, alright, tomorrow you can be the red flower and Du Haisheng and I will be the green leaves."

  The night is dark, with a bright and clean moon hanging in the sky...

  Butterfly, butterfly...

  Du Haisheng lay in bed, tossing and turning, repeating the name over and over again in his mouth, but he couldn't fall asleep at all.

  As for Hu Die, he still has some understanding, although not much, but also not too little. This girl is just as Zhao Wei said, a native Shanghai girl, and later became a film queen, deeply loved by the audience.

  Her emotional experience was also bumpy, and her marriage to Lin Xuehuai was only brief. She then got together with businessman Pan Yusheng, and after Shanghai fell, they came to Hong Kong. After Hong Kong was occupied, many actresses were humiliated by Japanese soldiers, and under pressure, Hu Die moved to Chongqing, where she was immediately taken in by Dai Li.

  And this occupation lasted for three whole years, until 1946 when Dai Li's plane crashed on Mount Tai in western Nanjing, and by that time, Pan Yusong had also passed away...

  This piece of history Du Haisheng wasn't particularly familiar with, and it was only before his rebirth that he occasionally chatted about it online with a few film enthusiast friends. He had asked Baidu about it later on, but as for Hu Die's real name, he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time and couldn't recall it now. However, one thing was certain: if they were going to meet, he absolutely wouldn't allow a tragic fate to befall the legendary actress once again.

  As for how to do it, he had to consider it carefully. Hu Die and Lin Xue's marital life was destined to be short-lived, and she absolutely could not make a move after Pan You Sheng appeared. If that were the case, once Shanghai fell, everything would be irreversible, history would continue on its original trajectory, and she would also be unable to avoid being separated from Pan You Sheng by the heavens, and suffering the tragic fate of being dominated by Dai Li for three years.

  Du Haisheng was deep in thought, suddenly his body rose sharply, turned around and opened the door, walked out...
