When Li Dong said he would think of a way, Hu Xiaorui immediately smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. How about you pretend to be my boyfriend?"
"Ahem, I'll go first. We'll talk about this later."
Li Dong did not mind Hu Xiaorui staying at his house for a long time. He changed his shoes and was about to go out.
However, Hu Xiaorui hurriedly followed him.
Seeing that Tan Yong was waiting outside in the car, Hu Xiaorui opened the door and sat in the car without waiting for Li Dong to say anything.
"Xiaorui …"
"Let's go together. You do your thing. I won't disturb you, okay? Just pretend that I don't exist. "
What else could Li Dong say when he had already put it this way?
After getting in the car, Li Dong said, "I'll go back to my hometown to worship the ancestors. Wait for me in the car. When I'm done with my work, I'll show you around if I have time."
"Worship the ancestors?"
Hu Xiaorui's face was full of joy. She hurriedly said, "Is it like on TV where women can't go and will be drowned in a pig cage if they go?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "You think too much!"
Now was not the past. Worshipping the ancestors was not a taboo.
Men and women, as long as they were members of the Li family, could go.
Even if he was an outsider, if he really wanted to take a look, could you stop him from going?
However, under normal circumstances, others would be tactful. If they were not family, they would not join in the fun. After all, it was not a happy event.
Not to mention drowning in a pig cage. This was used to deal with adulterers!
Hu Xiaorui did not care and continued to chatter, "Can I go and have a look?"
"No, just wait for me in the car."
Li Dong hurriedly refused. If he really brought this girl up the mountain and into the ancestral hall, he did not know what trouble she would cause.
Hu Xiaorui seemed unreasonable, but in fact, she had a sense of propriety.
After being rejected by Li Dong, she didn't bring it up again. She continued to chuckle and said, "Forget it then. When you're done with your work, you can accompany me to look for a place. I heard that your house is near the Yangtze River. Can we swim there? The swimming pool is too boring. If only I could cross the Yangtze River … "
Li Dong was too tired to retort. Crossing the Yangtze River?
Do you really think that the Yangtze River is your family's private swimming pool? If this girl really went down, she would definitely not be able to come back up.
Li Dong was afraid that she would really run away by herself, so he immediately warned her sternly, "Don't run around. If you don't listen to me, get out of the car now. I don't want to bring a big trouble with me!"
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you being so fierce?"
Hu Xiaorui pouted and held her chin as she sulked.
Li Dong didn't try to comfort her. This girl's anger came and went quickly.
Just as the Maybach left the Provincial Party Committee Compound, a row of Mercedes-Benz cars greeted them.
This time, Li Dong naturally wouldn't drive only one car back.
Although he didn't need too much extravagance to show off his wealth, there was no need for it.
But in the countryside, if you really drove a car back, it was guaranteed that there would be gossip about you very quickly.
Aren't you the richest man in the country?
Aren't you very rich?
You're so rich, but you actually drove a car back with only a few people around.
Don't tell me your company is going bankrupt?
Or is your money dirty and you don't dare to spend it?
In fact, these rumors, Li Dong didn't care. It didn't hurt him.
But his parents were different. Li Dong didn't care, but they couldn't not care.
The extravagance was also to satisfy his parents' wishes.
Eight Mercedes-Benz, all S series. In addition, Li Dong's Bentley was also used. If it weren't for the Predator, Li Dong would probably have wanted to use this car.
When the cars converged, Hu Xiaorui couldn't help but look around and asked Li Dong, "Your car?"
"Yes, the company transferred it over."
"Used to boost your reputation?"
"You're not that stupid."
"Tch!" Hu Xiaorui looked at him disdainfully and couldn't help but ask, "Do you need my help?"
"Help?"
"I'll transfer a few more good cars over for you. Let's make a hundred cars and form a motorcade, okay?"
Hu Xiaorui looked excited. Clearly, this kind of thing was to her liking.
"Also, Hsu Shengzhe has a lot of cars at home. Why don't we just go there and drive all the cars out of his garage?"
"Why don't we just rent a helicopter and fly there?"
"Also, we can drive that Paramount. It's like an armored car. It's very domineering."
"…"
Hu Xiaorui didn't stop talking, but Li Dong was too lazy to reply.
He didn't really want to show off. This number of cars was enough. Who would want to show off with a few hundred cars?
…
Just as the motorcade left Pingchuan.
At the same time.
At the most high-end hotel in Pingchuan.
Zhuang Fan calmly tidied up his clothes and said lazily, "Chen Rui, don't show off your little tricks in front of me. You, Yu Le, and the others are all typical losers. In my eyes, your schemes are ridiculous. I've been idle these past few days, so I chatted with you for a while. I still have work to do now. Go where you need to go. There's no point in pestering me. "
Chen Rui's expression didn't change. He laughed and said, "Young Master Zhuang, I don't mean to pester you, nor do I mean to instigate you. But what I said is also the truth. No matter how well you perform, with Li Dong around, you won't be able to win Hu Xiaorui's heart. I've known Xiaorui for many years. I know what kind of character she is. She won't turn back until she hits the wall, and she won't turn back even if she hits the wall. Unless … "
"Unless you kill Li Dong?" Zhuang Fan sneered and said, "You can go kill him. I welcome you anytime. If you lack money, I have it here. You can have as much as you want. As for other things, I'm afraid I can't help you much. "
"Young Master Zhuang, you overestimate me." Chen Rui still smiled and said, "I'm not Li Dong's opponent. Besides, I won't do anything illegal.
You should understand what I'm trying to say.
Hu Xiaorui's character is actually very simple. What does she see in Li Dong?
Money?
No.
Human?
Also no.
She's actually like a child. She likes that kind of domineering attitude …
Of course, it's not domineering. You probably don't know Li Dong well. He's the kind of person with a tough personality who doesn't care about the consequences.
He accompanied Hu Xiaorui to destroy other people's clubhouses, destroyed other people's cars, and even destroyed other people's doors …
In Hu Xiaorui's view, he's a quality man. That's what men should do.
Would Young Master Zhuang do such a thing? "
Zhuang Fan's mouth twitched. Nonsense, would he do such a thing?
Seeing that Zhuang Fan didn't respond, Chen Rui continued to smile and said, "So if you want to win Xiaorui's heart, the first step is to break the image of Li Dong in her heart. In her view, isn't Li Dong domineering and brave? What if Li Dong is no longer domineering and brave? Would she still reject Young Master Zhuang because of Li Dong? "
Zhuang Fan was still young after all. He was shrewd, but not as good as Chen Rui. When he heard this, he frowned and said, "Could it be that you want me to fight with Li Dong? Do you think I can do such a reckless thing? "
Chen Rui laughed dryly and said, "Of course not."
He didn't say the rest. Even if it was true, he wouldn't be Li Dong's opponent.
That guy came from an unorthodox background and had fought countless times since he was young.
In the past, people didn't understand him, but when Li Dong became famous, some of his past had long been dug out.
Chen Rui didn't doubt that Zhuang Fan would die a horrible death if he relied on this rich young master to fight with Li Dong.
Seeing that Zhuang Fan was starting to take the bait, Chen Rui said calmly, "It's actually very easy to break Li Dong's image."
"Oh? How is it easy? "
"Suppress him. Suppress him until he can't lift his head. Make him lose face and make a fool of himself. After a few times, Li Dong will lose all his face. How can he talk about being domineering? When that time comes, it'll be easy for you to take down Hu Xiaorui. "
"Hehe!"
Zhuang Fan wasn't really stupid. He originally thought that Chen Rui had some good idea.
Now that he heard it, it was just instigating him to fight with Li Dong.
Suppress Li Dong? Was it so easy to make Li Dong lose face and make a fool of himself?
Let's not talk about whether he could do it. If he really did it, he would have offended Li Dong too much.
Zhuang Fan wasn't willing to do such a thing. It was strenuous and unrewarding.
At this time, Chen Rui's phone rang.
Chen Rui looked down and saw a text message on his phone.
After a brief scan, Chen Rui's eyes lit up and said to Zhuang Fan, "Young Master Zhuang, do you know that Li Dong is going home to worship his ancestors today?"
"I don't know. I don't care what he's doing."
"But Hu Xiaorui is going too."
Zhuang Fan frowned slightly but quickly calmed down. "It's normal for Xiaorui to join in the fun."
Although he hadn't interacted with Hu Xiaorui for a long time, he was familiar with Hu Xiaorui's character.
She was just joining in the fun. Even if she wasn't, he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't snatch Hu Xiaorui back, could he?
Chen Rui said calmly, "According to Dongping's customs, a woman brought back on the day of the worship is definitely a family member. Outsiders aren't qualified to participate. If Xiaorui goes … tsk tsk … "
Chen Rui smiled faintly. "I know you're magnanimous, Young Master Zhuang, and you suspect that I have some ulterior motives.
I didn't hide my motive. I just don't like Li Dong and want him to suffer.
But what about you, Young Master Zhuang?
You really don't mind at all?
Many people know that Old Zhuang and Elder Sun arranged the marriage for you.
Everyone in the circle now thinks of Hu Xiaorui as your fiancée. In the end, in the blink of an eye, your fiancée went home with another man to worship the ancestors.
If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone will laugh for a few years.
Although there were some rumors about Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui before, it wasn't something public.
It's different this time. Young Master Zhuang, do you think it will attract everyone's attention when this news gets out? "
Chen Rui knew that Zhuang Fan wasn't stupid. It was hard to trick him.
But he was using an overt scheme now. He was clearly telling Zhuang Fan that he wanted him to go against Li Dong.
Are you going to swallow this loss or not?
It wasn't reliable to say that Hu Xiaorui was his fiancée. After all, the two families were just casually mentioned by the Old Master. No one else had expressed their stance.
But under normal circumstances, such matters in big families were decided by the older generation.
If they said so, it was usually not far from the truth.
If they really followed the old tradition, then Hu Xiaorui would be your fiancée. Even if she didn't agree, it wouldn't matter.
Now that your fiancée ran away with someone else and made you a cuckold in front of your face …
A man wouldn't feel comfortable!
Whether it was self-restraint or quality, it didn't matter at this time.
Which man would tolerate this kind of thing?
Unless he was really a good-for-nothing!
Not to mention, Zhuang Fan had always thought highly of himself. In the circle, he was also a big brother. He had a bunch of followers behind him.
Back in Szentai, Zhuang Fan was the biggest shareholder.
If this matter was spread out, could he still have a foothold in the circle?
Even if someone had to dump him, it would be Zhuang Fan dumping Hu Xiaorui. That way, he wouldn't lose his face. If he was dumped by Hu Xiaorui, he would lose all his face.
Chen Rui's words had indeed stimulated Zhuang Fan.
Previously, he had been avoiding these things. He even thought that if it didn't work out, then forget it. He could tell his grandfather that it was just a joke.
It wasn't the first time something like this happened in the circle. Since it wasn't fixed, it wasn't considered breaking his promise.
He could find an occasion to express his stance, and no one would take it too seriously.
After that, he would do his own thing, and no one would gossip.
But now, the situation was different. The Zhuang Family and the Sun Family hadn't said that this matter was over. At this time, it wasn't the time to part on good terms.
But at this time, Hu Xiaorui and Li Dong ran away together.
Both of them were friends. If they really wanted to go out to play, Zhuang Fan couldn't do anything about it. He didn't have the authority to stop them from going out to play.
But now!
Hu Xiaorui was accompanying Li Dong back home to worship his ancestors!
It wasn't only in Jiangbei. In fact, it was the same everywhere.
Both of them were unmarried. In the end, the groom went home to worship his ancestors, and you followed him. Was there a need for others to guess your intentions?
Cuckold!
These three words made Zhuang Fan a little uneasy.
Although there wasn't much change in his expression, Chen Rui saw his cheeks stiffen. He might even be clenching his teeth.
Chen Rui was secretly happy in his heart. Didn't you think that you were extraordinary?
These few days, he had enough of this guy. He had the attitude of a superior. Even his words carried a sense of contempt.
What's there to be proud of?
The Zhuang family was good, but it was only good. It wasn't to the point of ignoring others.
The old man of the Zhuang family had long turned into a businessman.
It was good to have connections in the political world, and the business was good. However, the Zhuang family couldn't be seen as a family of officials. They were like the Shen family, a family of businessmen.
The reason why they were doing better than others was because they had more money. The other reason was that the old man of the Zhuang family was still alive and had connections with many big shots.
When the old man of the Zhuang family passed away, they might not be as good as the Shen family.
Although Chen Rui was now in dire straits, the old man was still in his position. Although he was in the limitless government office and retired, he was still a deputy minister.
How could Chen Rui not care that Zhuang Fan, the third generation of the Zhuang family, was acting tough in front of him?
Although he was smiling from the beginning to the end, he had already come up with countless schemes to teach this guy a lesson.
Seeing that Zhuang Fan didn't say anything, Chen Rui suppressed the joy in his heart and said softly, "Young Master Zhuang, if you don't stop them now, it will be too late. If you really let Xiaorui go, no matter how you explain or make up for it, it will be a big joke if word gets out. "
"I don't need you to remind me!"
Zhuang Fan snorted impatiently. He frowned and paused for a moment before asking, "Where are they now?"
"They're almost out of Pingchuan."
Zhuang Fan didn't ask any more questions and didn't communicate with Chen Rui. He left the room directly.
Chen Rui didn't care. He smiled and followed Zhuang Fan out. Even if he didn't show up, it was good to watch the show.
