Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 624 Lou Xiao'e's Years

But now he didn't dare, because he knew that he was already married and had three children with Yu Li, so he was no longer qualified to hug Lou Xiao'e. He could only stand in front of Lou Xiao'e at a loss, his eyes moist as he looked Lou Xiao'e up and down.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Lin Geng's awkward expression, a wry smile appeared on her lips, she sighed slightly, and said to Lin Geng: "Wouldn't you like me to sit down and talk?"

Lin Geng then hurriedly turned around and asked Lou Xiaoe to sit on the sofa in a hurry. He then hurriedly made tea for her. Because he was too excited, his hands were shaking. When he poured the water, he accidentally poured the boiling water on his own hands. The scalding made his hands shake and the teacup fell to the ground with a bang. He quickly shook his hands away.

Lou Xiao'e also noticed Lin Geng's nervousness and excitement. Seeing that Lin Geng's hands were shaking violently and were scalded by boiling water, she stood up nervously, grabbed Lin Geng's hand, and blew air on the back of Lin Geng's scalded hand.

"Why are you so nervous? You must have been burned!" Lou Xiao'e blew on Lin Geng's hand with a distressed look on her face and complained to him.

Lin Geng was embarrassed to be held by Lou Xiao'e's hand. He felt happy but also a little ashamed. After Lou Xiao'e left, he did not wait for her, but chose to meet Yu Li and then marry her. Now that Lou Xiao'e is back, he didn't know how to face her for a while, so his face was full of embarrassment and awkwardness, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He didn't know what to feel.

"It's okay, it's okay! It's just a burn, it will be fine in a while! Sit down first, sit down and talk!" Lin Geng carefully pulled his hand back from Lou Xiao'e's little hand and said to Lou Xiao'e.

A trace of sadness appeared on Lou Xiao'e's face. She let go of Lin Geng's hand and slowly sat back on the sofa.

Lin tried to calm down, and made a cup of tea for Lou Xiaoe and placed it in front of her. He sat on the sofa beside her, looked at her, took a deep breath and asked her, "Xiaoe, how have you been doing in Hong Kong these years?"

Lou Xiao'e also regained her composure at this time. She looked at Lin Geng with a hint of resentment in her eyes. When Lin Geng asked her how she had been doing over the years, Lou Xiao'e said to Lin Geng leisurely:

"It's okay! After I left Beijing that year, I took a boat from Tianjin to Hong Kong. My brother, my third uncle, and my cousin were all in Hong Kong. They had businesses there. After I got there, I went to study at the University of Hong Kong!

Three months later, my parents also arrived in Hong Kong. Thanks to your reminder, they brought some capital and started a business in Hong Kong.

We arrived in Hong Kong in 1965. In the first two years, our business was not going well. The local businessmen in Hong Kong and the foreigners were very hostile to people like us who came from the mainland. So it was not easy for our family to start doing business, and there were also many gangsters who caused trouble for us!

During those two years, we have been keeping an eye on the domestic situation. At first, my parents did not notice the storm in the mainland and thought that you were exaggerating and deliberately scaring us. They blamed you a lot and felt that you deceived us and forced us to leave our hometown and run to Hong Kong!

In 1968, our family finally heard that there was a wind in the mainland, and the storm was extremely fierce. It was not until then that my parents really believed that you did not deliberately exaggerate to scare us!

They asked around for news from the mainland and heard a lot of things. They were completely shocked! Only then did I remember that if I hadn't listened to you and my family had continued to stay in the country, we would have been like my father's business friends in the mainland, with our families broken up!

From that time on, they no longer blamed you, they were all very grateful to you! We have always wanted to contact you, but you also know that in those years, the connection between the mainland and Hong Kong was basically cut off. We tried many ways but couldn't contact you!

It wasn't until 1976 that we heard about the major earthquake in Tangcheng. We were all very worried about you, so we used our business connections to donate a batch of earthquake relief supplies and food to the mainland, and also donated some money!

By the way, it was because of you that when I left Hong Kong that year, I found a note from you in my clothes pocket on the boat. You said that after our family arrived in Hong Kong, we could first invest in the stock market. In 1973, we sold the stocks and then engaged in the real estate industry.

After my parents arrived in Hong Kong, I suggested that my father invest the Lou family's money in the stock market. However, Lou's father thought that stock trading was unreliable and still wanted to invest in real industries. He was unwilling to invest the money in the stock market.

Besides, I had just arrived in Hong Kong and had only studied economics at the University of Hong Kong for a short time. How could I predict that the Hong Kong stock market would rise sharply? So my father did not take my advice seriously at all and refused to invest money in the stock market.

But I believed you wouldn't lie to me, so when I saw that my father didn't agree to invest the money in the stock market, I asked my parents to give me some money so that I could learn to trade stocks myself.

Seeing that I was determined, my father gave me some money and I invested it in the stock market. Sure enough, when the mainland was booming, the Hong Kong stock market also started to boom. The stock price changed every day and kept rising. Hong Kong people were like crazy in those years and invested any money they had in the stock market. I made a lot of money during that time and the money my father gave me increased several times in a short period of time.

It was then that my father realized that my suggestion was not wrong and that stock trading could really make a lot of money. It happened that my father's business in Hong Kong had been constantly suppressed in those two years and the business had not been very smooth. He also saw that I had made a lot of money with the money they gave me and had multiplied it several times. So he listened to me and gave me the money that was originally intended to invest in the electronics factory to invest in the stock market.

In the following years, our family's assets increased many times, and we made a lot of money in the stock market. During that period, making money in the stock market was as easy as picking up money. Many uncles and aunts who set up stalls invested all their savings in the stock market.

When ordinary people started to invest their life savings in the stock market, I felt that something was wrong. So I listened to you, chose a high price in 1973, sold all my stocks, and left the market!

At first, my dad was reluctant to do so. He thought that the stock market was rising at that time, and it would be a pity for me to close my position and leave. I would lose a lot of money! ..."
