In the dining room.
Although Hu Xiaorui was usually noisy, she could be considered elegant when eating.
Of course, this was in public.
At Li Dong's house, when she was fighting for snacks with Little Shitou and the other two girls, the lass didn't have the slightest elegance.
Hu Xiaorui cut the steak as she asked, "Li Dong, do you really want to get married so early? How old are you? You should take advantage of your youth and go crazy for once. Otherwise, when you're old, you'll regret it. "
Li Dong lowered his head to drink the soup and vaguely said, "There's nothing to regret. I've long passed the age of being young and frivolous."
"You're talking as if you're old."
Hu Xiaorui sighed and said with some sympathy, "You're only 24 years old and you're already getting married. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be happy. I haven't seen enough of the big world, but now I'm bound by it. How miserable. "
Li Dong agreed, "That makes sense, so it's better for you to get married later. You're not old anyway."
"I say, I'm already 25 years old and can get married."
Hu Xiaorui said with a smile, "I heard that your cousin is getting married next month? Is it going to be in Qingyang or Pingchuan? I'm not sure about the specific time. Tell me, I'll also attend. "
Li Dong couldn't help but look up at her. After a while, he sighed, "No need, you're not familiar with her."
Hu Xiaorui snorted. She used her knife to cut the plate with all her might, and the plate made an ear-piercing sound.
After venting her anger on the steak for a while, Hu Xiaorui finally pouted and said fiercely, "I don't care, I want to go! Not only do I want to go, but I also want to snatch the bouquet! You said that if you can snatch it three times, you'll marry me. You're not allowed to renege on your promise! Once for your cousin, once for that fatty, and one more time, then you have to marry me. You're not allowed to go back on your words! "
Li Dong seemed to not hear her and continued to eat.
This lass said it as if it was true. When did he say this?
She was the one who said it and agreed on her behalf.
Seeing that Li Dong ignored her, Hu Xiaorui was a little annoyed and shouted, "Waiter!"
The restaurant manager hurriedly trotted over and said with a face full of smiles, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
"I want to drink winter melon soup. Do you have it?"
"Yes …"
Before the restaurant manager could finish his sentence, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Dong's expression and immediately said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, we don't have this. Do you want me to change it to something else?"
"What about stir-fried winter melon?"
"This …"
The restaurant manager wanted to cry. This is a western restaurant. How can there be stir-fried winter melon? The key is, is there such a dish as stir-fried winter melon?
"Do you have braised winter melon?"
"This …"
As Hu Xiaorui spoke, she glared at Li Dong. When the restaurant manager didn't reply, she immediately said angrily, "Then go out and buy some plums. I want to eat plums now!"
The restaurant manager's face turned green. If it was any other time and the customer had a request, he would definitely do his best.
If it wasn't for this request and it was something else, even if it was egg fried rice, with Li Dong present, he would immediately prepare it without any hesitation.
The key was that if it wasn't plums, then it was winter melon. Would he dare to do it himself?
Just when the manager was in a dilemma, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with her. You go do your own thing."
The restaurant manager was relieved. As a western restaurant opened near Far away Park, Faraway Group was their largest customer group.
If they offended Li Dong, even if Li Dong didn't care, people Far away would not come to eat, and their restaurant's turnover would drop by more than half.
Without waiting for Hu Xiaorui to speak again, the restaurant manager ran out of sight.
Although he didn't recognize Hu Xiaorui, he also knew that those who could accompany Li Dong to eat together were not ordinary people.
Furthermore, looking at Li Dong's attitude, it was apparent that he couldn't do anything to this woman.
Regardless of who it was, it wasn't someone that he could offend.
…
Walking to the front desk, the restaurant manager glanced at Li Dong and said in a low voice, "I won't be going. You guys keep an eye on him. If Mr. Li needs anything, do your best to satisfy him. Do you hear me?"
Several waiters and supervisors quickly nodded their heads.
In Jiangbei, especially in Pingchuan, it's fine to offend Hsu Shengzhe, but don't offend Li Dong.
Li Dong was a narrow-minded person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He couldn't afford to offend anyone.
This impression wasn't formed in a day or two, nor was it formed by them.
Everyone said that Li Dong would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, and as time passed, everyone believed it.
Far away, the legal team had been keeping an eye on the internet these few days. From time to time, they would drag a few people out to flog the corpse, and everyone believed it even more.
On the other hand, Hsu Shengzhe gave the impression of being a modest person in Pingchuan.
Pingchuan was famous for being a second-generation tycoon, and others more or less cursed him. On the other hand, Hsu Shengzhe, the tycoon of the real estate industry, didn't have much of a bad reputation.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Hsu Shengzhe didn't have the arrogance of a second-generation tycoon, nor did he have the flamboyance of a second-generation tycoon.
In addition, he had an elegant demeanor, and his first impression was good.
On the other hand, Li Dong didn't bother with ordinary people.
But the key was that every time he made a move, it would cause an uproar.
Sometimes, it was Li Dong's idea, and sometimes, it was a group of people who added fuel to the fire.
A tycoon with an impeccable reputation was too difficult to deal with, and too difficult to shake.
If one's reputation wasn't good, even if one was the tycoon, it wasn't as scary as imagined.
Of course, this wasn't just an individual's thoughts. Many people didn't have the intention to go against Li Dong, but because of jealousy and other reasons, they didn't mind giving Li Dong a push.
…
Li Dong usually didn't care too much about the thoughts of the restaurant manager and others.
But Hu Xiaorui pouted and said, "Look at how scared he is. It's just plums and winter melon. I didn't say I was going to fry Li Dong. What's he panicking about?"
"I'm just in awe of him," Li Dong said casually.
Hu Xiaorui giggled and said, "Then are you in awe of him? Tell me, who are you in awe of? It can't be Shen Bingshan, right? "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Not really. That's not the right word to use between husband and wife. Actually, the word 'awe' rarely comes to mind. If there's anything worth being in awe of, it's probably the supernatural beings. "
This answer was completely out of Hu Xiaorui's expectations.
She was just asking casually. After asking, she felt that even if Li Dong was in awe of someone, it would probably be those world-renowned entrepreneurs or high-level officials.
She didn't expect that Li Dong would actually say "supernatural beings."
In her impression, Li Dong was arrogant and unruly. He wasn't afraid of anything and even dared to poke a hole in the sky.
But at this time, Li Dong actually said that he was in awe of "supernatural beings."
The first two words were understandable, but the last two words were a little unbelievable.
Hu Xiaorui asked curiously, "You believe in supernatural beings?"
Li Dong was also happy that she didn't talk about anything else. He smiled and said, "I do. Of course, I don't believe in everything. I don't believe in the tricks of the pugilistic world. However, I do believe in the existence of ghosts and deities. "
"Unbelievable!"
Hu Xiaorui said with a look of surprise, "I always felt that you weren't afraid of anyone other than yourself. You're the kind of man who absolutely believes in himself. I didn't expect you to actually believe in these things … "
As she said that, Hu Xiaorui suddenly giggled and said, "Li Dong, we're really compatible. Actually, I also believe in supernatural beings. Shen Bingshan doesn't believe in these things. You guys definitely won't have anything in common in the future … "
Li Dong had a helpless look on his face as he continued to remain silent.
No matter what the topic was, this girl could always bring it up to Shen Qian. There was no way to continue the conversation today.
After eating and drinking some red wine, Li Dong said softly, "Xiaorui, now that things have come to this, I have something serious to say to you."
Hu Xiaorui immediately put down her knife and fork and said immediately, "Go ahead."
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "My marriage with Shen Qian is already a foregone conclusion. It can't be changed, and there can't be any changes.
You know Yuhan too. I won't talk about the others.
Since you're an insider, I'll say a few more words.
I've even given up on the idea of marrying Yuhan, let alone the others.
It's not that you're not good. Really, you're outstanding.
I don't care what others say. The Hu Xiaorui I know, aside from a few years ago when she was a little out of tune, the current Hu Xiaorui is outstanding.
Smart, cute, and beautiful. These words can be used on you.
If you're not smiling, you should add intelligence.
The genius of the junior class of the University of Science and Technology, running an entertainment company without anyone's concern. You're actually more capable than I am.
Even I can't do that when I'm at your age.
Moreover, your family background. Your parents are rich businessmen, and your grandfather is an impressive person.
Moreover, you don't have a big temper …
If anyone can marry you, it'll be a blessing from their past life.
Unfortunately, I already knew such a woman, and it was before you.
Xiaorui, don't make things difficult for yourself. There are too many outstanding men in the world. What am I?
I'm just lucky. My ability is average, my looks average, and my temper isn't good either.
Apart from luck, I'm just a part of the common people.
What do you like about me?
I'm afraid you don't even know.
Xiaorui, don't think about it anymore. If you really like to eat, drink, and play with me, sure. I'll play with you anytime and go crazy with you.
You said you treat me like an older brother, so I'll treat you like a younger sister.
As for the rest, I don't have this blessing. The reason isn't you, but me. Do you understand? "
Hu Xiaorui nodded solemnly. After a while, she said, "I understand. That means you still like me. It's because of Shen Bingshan that you don't dare to do it anymore. Li Dong, since you guys haven't gotten married yet, I think you should forget about it. There's really nothing good about Shen Bingshan. Not to mention he's old, he'll only bring you trouble. I won't. "
Li Dong had a helpless expression. He said helplessly, "I've said so much, but you still don't understand. Moreover, Shen Qian won't bring me any trouble. When I'm with her, I'll be the one who brings trouble. "
"Hmph, you can protect her!"
Hu Xiaorui snorted. She pouted and said, "You don't know anything. You said she won't bring you trouble. It'll be strange if she doesn't! Do you still remember the secret I told you? Although you didn't kiss me, I'll still tell you. Otherwise, you'll be dragged down by her. "
Li Dong looked up at her. He frowned slightly and didn't reply.
