As the saying goes, it's easier to change a leopard than a leopard. I once again felt the truth of that saying.
Xiao Qin's father, Hong Kong Triad's Juying Hall leader, Huo ZhenBang, was actually harassing the class leader's mother, Auntie Lin!
Didn't you go to Shanghai to get AIDS treatment! Then you immediately had perverted thoughts when you saw a beautiful researcher … it seems like you're still unrepentant when it comes to womanizing! No wonder Auntie Ren never forgave you!
"Sha Sha, isn't your future ambition to be a police officer?" Auntie Lin asked the class leader.
The class leader nodded blankly. I'm not sure if it was because she was focused on acting spoiled in front of her mother, but her Justice Devil aura completely disappeared. It was as if she was a middle school student who did something wrong and was being scolded by her mother.
"Some people are born to maintain order, and some people are born to destroy order." Auntie Lin shifted her gaze back to me, "Ye Lin is known as the boss of 28 Middle, right? It seems like he's going to become a thug in the future … "
Auntie Lin has a lot of opinions about me! Since she was pestered by Huo ZhenBang, she must have seen Huo ZhenBang's bodyguards, Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard. Uncle Long was tall and sturdy with a stern expression. He really did have a lot of similarities to me. That's probably where the phrase 'becoming a thug in the triads' came from.
"Ye Lin … won't join the triads in the future." The class leader hesitated for a while before replying, "He promised me he wouldn't become a criminal …"
Huh? Was she referring to the promise she made to me by the stream in Cuisong Mountain to 'not become a criminal and cause trouble for her'?
Auntie Lin's expression changed, "What? Have you guys already reached the point of making a promise? Ye Lin promised you he wouldn't become a criminal, then what did you promise him? "
"I, I didn't promise him anything …"
The class leader lowered her head and a lock of hair that was resting on her shoulder slid down to her chest.
Liar, you clearly said you would marry me as long as I came back alive … but that was a thoughtless promise made when you lost control of your emotions. Also, if I brought it up now, not only would the class leader be shocked at how I found out, but it would also make Auntie Lin even angrier.
"Promises are between the two of us. You didn't promise him anything, so why would he promise you he wouldn't become a criminal?"
Listening to Auntie Lin's tone, it seemed that joining the underworld was a very promising job for me.
Actually, if I think about it without emotion, I do have some innate advantages of being in the underworld. The day before yesterday, I was standing in front of a food stall and playing with my phone. In the end, the vendor said to me awkwardly: "I already paid the protection fee this morning!"
This ability to remind others to pay protection fees without saying anything was not something that everyone possessed.
Also, during the time Huo ZhenBang interacted with me, he intentionally or unintentionally wanted to broaden my horizons. He even gave me a ticket to an underground fight. It seems like he wants to take me in as his subordinate.
Is it because his eldest son was killed in a fight with the American mafia, so I've become the successor in his eyes? Is he treating me as a prospective son-in-law because of my relationship with Xiao Qin?
Thinking about it this way, if I made up my mind to join the underworld, I might really be able to mingle with the wind and the current. I might even be able to skyrocket and become the leader of a large criminal organization!
"Auntie Lin, I did promise the class leader that I won't walk the path of crime in the future."
Auntie Lin waited for me to continue.
"Although I look like a member of the underworld and the people I know … also look like a member of the underworld. But I know that if I become a criminal in the future, the class leader who wants to be a police officer will become my enemy. I heard the class leader's marksmanship is amazing, I'm just afraid of dying … "
This sentence was half true and half false, but it still explained why I promised the class leader not to become a criminal and why I didn't ask her for any conditions in exchange.
Auntie Lin squinted her eyes and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.
"Even if Sha Sha really becomes a criminal police or even a special police officer, there's no need to keep an eye on a criminal like you."
"Um …" My brain short-circuited, "I have a special method of committing crimes, so the class leader will definitely notice me!"
It was clear that my words were very dumb, causing Auntie Lin's face to darken.
"What are you guys doing? Are you guys playing a game of cops catching criminals? " Auntie Lin used her finger to touch the outside of the stewed beef casserole to make sure the dish was still warm.
"You make it sound like you're doing something righteous and contributing to society … but you guys are actually committing to each other! What's the difference between committing to the same university and staying in the same city! "
The class leader's face was even redder than the sugar tomato on the table.
"Mom, how can you say that …"
"That's right." I also agreed, "Mom, how can you …"
"What did you call me!?" Auntie Lin's eyes were about to spit fire and I almost bit my tongue in fear.
Since the food was in danger of getting cold, Auntie Lin told us to fill our stomachs first and talk about other things later.
The class leader only ate a little bit of the food because she had no appetite, but there wasn't a single grain of rice left in her bowl.
I turned my grief into appetite and seized the opportunity to eat my fill of the stewed beef. I felt like even if I was going to be shot later, I would at least die with a full stomach.
Of course, the three bowls of broccoli soup that Auntie Lin poured for me ended up in my stomach, so I wasn't able to fool her.
It tasted awful … but she was still a skilled cook and purposely made it taste awful. If it was Ai Mi or Winnie who accidentally made a dark dish, then I would already be dead.
After we finished eating, the class leader went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. I wanted to help, but Auntie Lin stopped me.
"Don't even think about running away, sit down!"
I could only obediently put down my butt that I had just lifted.
"If you don't want to be a gangster in the future, have you thought about what you want to do?"
Auntie Lin asked me this sharp question.
The class leader also brought up a similar question in the past. At that time, I irresponsibly said "I can work at a construction site!", but I can't say that now.
As for inheriting my dad's online adult goods store, I can't even talk about it. Auntie Li doesn't know what our family does, but if she knew, she would definitely have more prejudice against me.
After thinking about it, the most profitable job for me to earn my own living is being an actor! Even though I'm playing the role of a deaf-mute evil monk or Jin Ling Young Thug, it's still better than being a villain in real life, right?
"Um … I plan on being an actor in a martial arts movie, even if it's a stunt double …"
Auntie Lin seemed to be a bit surprised by my answer. She looked me up and down and saw that my muscles were clearly stronger than those of my age.
I slightly stuck out my chest and shouted in my mind "This is a Spartan!" in an attempt to gain Auntie Lin's favor.
In the end, Auntie Lin's face quickly turned cold and snorted: "I hate actors!"
Huh? Where did that come from? I can understand if you don't like gangsters, but what did actors do to offend you?
"When I was in college, there was also a director who said that I was suitable for acting and came to me for an audition. I was curious, so I went to the audition with a dozen or so people who were selected. In the end, after the audition, I went back to the recording studio to get something that I had forgotten, but I saw a well-known mainland actor hugging my schoolmate, and they were naked together!"
The class leader must have heard about this from her mother before, so she wasn't particularly surprised.
"Later, only my schoolmate passed the audition! The entertainment industry is filthy! There's no difference between being in the entertainment industry and gangsters! Oh right, that Hong Kong guy with the surname Huo also made movies to launder money, you guys are all the same! "
Huo ZhenBang deserved the scolding, but I can't agree with Auntie Lin slamming someone from the entertainment industry to death.
"Auntie Lin, there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, but you can't think that everyone in the industry is dirty just because you've encountered it once!"
"Actually, even if there are unspoken rules, it wouldn't be the lower or middle class actors. Stunt actors are the same, they all earn their hard-earned money!"
Auntie Lin didn't buy my words, "Hmph, didn't Jackie Chan also start out as a stunt actor and was kicked dozens of meters away by Bruce Lee? Later on, when he became famous, didn't he still flirt everywhere? Now he even dares to kiss Song Zuying! "
I choked on my words, so I could only give another example that I thought was safe:
"Leslie Cheung should be an artist with a good reputation, right? Very few people who worked with him didn't praise him for being kind, let alone unspoken rules … "
Auntie Lin laughed, "That's because he's gay! Also, didn't Leslie jump off a building! Don't you understand that good people can't survive in the entertainment industry!? "
"Then … Jet Li is passionate about charity and opened a foundation with transparent use of funds …"
"How can a guy who abandoned his junior be considered a good person!"
Auntie Lin was referring to Huang Qiuyan, Jet Li's junior martial sister who had been practicing martial arts in the same martial arts academy since she was a child. Huang Qiuyan was the female lead in the sequel of "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid". She shot the movie together with Jet Li. Later, the two finally got together because of their first awakening of love.
But good times didn't last long. After Jet Li signed with Jia He and came to Hong Kong to develop, he and Huang Qiuyan were separated by an entire ocean. Also, Jet Li met the winner Li Zhi during the filming of "Dragon in the Horizon". The two of them had a good impression of each other, so the seeds of marriage were sown.
"Um … it's a pity that they couldn't walk to the end as childhood sweethearts."
I never expected that I would actually argue with the class leader's mother about celebrities since I thought I wouldn't argue with other people about celebrities.
"But Jet Li isn't someone who goes around flirting! When he divorced Huang Qiuyan, in order to express his apology, he practically left the house with nothing. Later, he confessed to Li Zhi that he was penniless. I really didn't mean to exaggerate. At that time, Jet Li hadn't filmed the Huang Feihong series yet … "
"Even when Huang Qiuyan returned to film 'Sword of the Jade Maiden' and talked to the media about Jet Li, she did not speak ill of him. She said that Jet Li was cute, smart and had many strengths. He loved their daughter very much and was a good father. It was just that there were too many women who liked him..."
I felt like I did something stupid halfway through my sentence. As expected, Auntie Lin's smile became even scarier.
"From what you're saying, it sounds like you're envious of Jet Li? Do you also think it's enough to use 'there are too many women who like me' as an excuse to abandon your wife? "
