Li Rui walked out of the hotel and before he could call for a taxi, his phone rang. The caller is Zhang Wei. She is Shuanghe County Mayor Fang Qingyun's aunt and the Director of the County's Investment Promotion Agency. Li Rui was stunned when he saw it was her and forgot to answer the call.
This woman was not simple at all. With just one banquet, she had successfully entered the heart of the boss, Song Chaoyang. After that, she had even entered the house and become his wife. Of course, only a few people know about this. Other than the two involved, only Li Rui and the hotel's Deputy General Manager, Li Xiao Yue, know about this. Even Zhang Wei's aunt, Fang Qingyun, does not dare to think about her relationship with Song Chaoyang. It had been a few months since that incident, and she had not contacted Song Chaoyang. Why is she calling me tonight?
Li Rui thought about this, and the ringtone became more urgent. He did not dare to delay and quickly answered the call. He walked to a corner and greeted. "Good evening, Sister Xiao Wei." Zhang Wei giggled and said. "Xiao Rui, I was just saying that you might have forgotten about me. I did not expect you to have such a good memory. Tsk tsk … no wonder you can be Song Shuji's secretary. You have a good memory. "Li Rui smiled and said." Sister Xiao Wei, we are family. Can you stop praising me? How are you recently? I am busy during the Lunar New Year and did not have time to call you. Now, I will call you. "
Li Rui is only saying this out of courtesy. How can he call her to wish her a Lunar New Year? She is in a relationship with Song Chaoyang, and it is not convenient for him to contact her. Even if they are not in a relationship, he should not be too close to her. What will Song Chaoyang think if he knows about this?
Zhang Wei was flattered and said. "Xiao Rui, why are you being so polite with me? I'm having a good New Year, so are you, right? "Li Rui smiled and said," Not bad. " After the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhang Wei went straight to the point. "I'm going to the city to handle some business tomorrow. Since we haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you. So, I want to treat you and Song Shuji to a meal. Are you free?" Li Rui was secretly amused. She said "I miss you guys", but in fact, she meant "I miss Song Chaoyang". She also said that she wanted to treat him and his boss to a meal, but in fact, she wanted to meet his boss. This woman was really cute. He said, "Of course, I'll treat you to a meal when you come to the city. How can I let you spend money? But I can't make the decision. I have to ask the secretary. If he doesn't have any objections, then this matter is settled. "Zhang Wei said," Okay, then I'll wait for your news. "
When Li Rui returned home, he was surprised to find that his second brother, Li Fucai, was at home as a guest. His father, Li Jianmin, was sitting with him on the sofa in the living room. He watched as Li Fucai smoked one cigarette after another. The ashtray was almost full. When he saw his cousin, he felt pity for his misfortune and also sighed at his stupidity. A good family was ruined like this. Why bother?
He put down his briefcase and stood at the entrance of the living room. He greeted, "Second brother, why are you here?" He looked back at the bedroom and saw that the door was closed. He didn't know what Qingman was doing in there. He asked Li Jianmin, "Dad, where's Qingman?" Li Jianmin said, "She's asleep."
Li Fucai patted the seat next to him and said, "Xiao Rui, come sit here. I specifically came to find you." Although Li Rui didn't want to talk to him, he didn't want to embarrass him at home. He had no choice but to sit down and persuade him, "Smoke less. No matter how much you smoke, it won't solve the problem. Besides, Qingman and I are planning to have a child. It's not good to make the house dirty. "Li Fucai nodded and put out the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray.
Li Rui stared at him and saw that he had fully recovered after being hospitalized for a period of time. However, his body had lost a lot of weight and his beard was unshaven. He looked like a failed man. Li Fucai asked tentatively, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Li Fucai said, "Hand over Xiao Na to me." Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His face sank and said, "Second brother, don't say that. Xiao Na isn't in my hands. She's a living person. She can go wherever she wants. It has nothing to do with me. "Li Fucai said," If she's not in your hands, then you've hidden her. My dad and the others all said that you brought Xiao Na back to your hometown and you took her away. " Li Rui said, "That was before the new year. Also, I went back to Qingyang after sending Xiao Na to your hospital. She said she was going to see her mother. After she left, she didn't contact me. Where would I hide her? Why would I hide her? "
Li Fucai looked at him hesitantly and said, "You really don't know where Xiao Na is?" Li Rui nodded and said, "Why don't you ask her mother? Why are you asking me? After all, I'm an outsider. "Li Fucai said with a gloomy face," How could she not know? " Li Ruixin thought, Even if Zhu Fengying was wrong ten thousand times, she was still your wife. You scolded her in front of everyone to vent your anger, but didn't you consider your own face? Didn't you scold her? Then you're a dog too? Li Fucai saw that he didn't say anything and said, "I went to Qingyang Hotel to look for her. That General Manager Dong said he didn't know where she went. He said she had resigned a long time ago."
Li Rui still didn't say anything. In his heart, he applauded Li Xiaona's decision. There was no need to tell this kind of heartless adoptive father and mother about her whereabouts.
Li Fucai scolded, "Damn brat, where did she run off to? Don't tell me she doesn't want to go home for the rest of her life? " Li Rui asked the question in his heart and said, "Didn't you not acknowledge her? Why are you looking for her?" Li Fucai said, "Why wouldn't I look for her? I spent half my life painstakingly raising her and who knows how much money and effort I spent on her. In the end, she's not my biological daughter! Am I going to let her off so easily? I want her to pay me back. She has to pay me back all the money I spent on her since she was young. Not a cent less. "Li Rui was furious when he heard this. He stood up and said," Then go look for her. I'm exhausted from a day's work. I won't talk to you anymore. You can go. "
Li Fucai didn't move from his seat and asked, "Where do you think she ran off to?" Li Rui sneered and said, "How would I know? If you don't know, how would I know? " Li Fucai stood up and snorted, "No matter where she ran off to, I have to find her. If she doesn't pay me back in this lifetime, I'll never let her off. "Li Rui sighed and said," Aiya, second brother, why are you still so muddle-headed? You're always asking her to pay you back. If you keep asking her like this, your family won't have a good life. Can't you change the way you solve the problem? "Li Fucai asked blankly," Change what way? "
Li Rui said, "Find Xiao Na, apologize to her, and take her home as your own daughter. From then on, you can live happily as a family." Li Fucai blew his beard and glared at him as he cursed, "Why the hell would I take her as my own daughter? She and her mother lied to me for over twenty years. Until now, I, Li Fucai, don't even have a child. When I die, I don't even have a funeral … "Li Rui was impatient and waved his hand, saying," Alright, alright. If you want to think like this, then pretend I didn't say anything. Go, we're going to sleep. "
Li Jianmin wanted to scold him when he heard Li Rui drive Li Fucai away, but he restrained himself. Now that he saw him using this kind of tone to talk to his cousin, he felt that it was improper and interrupted, "Hey, Xiao Rui, how can you talk to your brother like that? How can you drive away a guest? "He then said," Fucai, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Sit for a while. "
Li Fucai shook his head and took out his wallet. He took out a hundred RMB note and put it on the coffee table. He said to Li Rui, "I just heard that you got married again. Second brother will contribute some money. It's not a lot, but don't think it's too little. " Although Li Rui hated his way of doing things and his personality, he pitied him to a certain extent. Seeing this, he hurriedly walked over and took the hundred RMB note and put it in his hand, saying, "Second brother, it's not easy for you to earn money. You don't have to contribute. I appreciate your kindness." Li Fucai firmly put the money on the coffee table and said, "I have to contribute. After all, I'm the older brother."
After sending Li Fucai downstairs, Li Rui called out to him and took out three or four big and small gift boxes from the garage for him to take away.
Li Fucai saw the BMW parked in the garage and his eyes lit up. He exclaimed, "When did you buy this BMW? My goodness, Xiao Rui, you've become successful. "Li Rui shook his head and said," I didn't buy it. A friend borrowed it and drove it. " Li Fucai nodded his head and praised, "Then you've become successful. I don't have a friend who drives a BMW." Li Rui didn't want to waste time with him. He said earnestly, "Listen to me. When you find Little Na in the future, apologize to her and treat her like your own daughter. Then you'll have your own daughter. But if you're still as stubborn as you are now, then don't blame me for being harsh. Your family won't be good. " Li Fucai shook his head and said, "Someone else's child is someone else's child. She's not related to the Li family by blood. How can I treat her like my own daughter? I've already let that bitch remove my ring. I want to have another child while I'm still young … "
