The two of them exchanged phone numbers and said their goodbyes before they walked out of the private room.
As soon as they walked out of the door, Li Rui noticed that Dong Jieyu and Li Xiaona were holding hands and talking to each other at the door of the private room next door. They were probably saying goodbye too.
Dong Jieyu saw Li Rui coming out and gave him a look, hinting for him to come over and talk. Li Rui didn't want to provoke Li Xiaona anymore, but he had no choice but to walk over.
Li Xiaona saw him coming over and sighed, "Brother, I'm already very happy that you can come to the wedding. Why did you have to prepare such a big dowry? It's not easy for you to earn money … "Li Rui patted her arm gently and said," Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm leaving with your sister now. You and Brother Xu have a good life. When I come back to the province, I'll come and see you when I have time. "Li Xiaona heard this and looked resentful, but she didn't say anything else.
Outside the banquet hall, Li Rui and Dong Jieyu saw Xu Gengnian, who was sending the guests off.
Xu Gengnian saw that the two of them were leaving, so he came over and shook hands with them. He thanked them and said goodbye, then pulled Li Rui's hand to a corner and said with a smile, "Xiao Rui, I have something to ask of you." Li Rui said, "Brother, we're not strangers anymore. You don't have to be polite with me in the future." Xu Gengnian nodded and put away the smile on his face. He muttered, "You know the situation of Little Na's hometown the best …" Li Rui's heart jumped when he heard this. What was the meaning of this? Why did he mention Little Na's hometown? Xu Gengnian continued, "I want to ask you to go to Xiaona's hometown and help me find two people. Help me find out what they're thinking." Li Rui asked, "Which two people?" Xu Gengnian said, "One is Xiao Na's mother, the other is Xiao Na's foster father, who is also your cousin." Li Rui frowned and said, "Why are you looking for them?"
Xu Gengnian said with a solemn face, "Of the two of them, one gave birth to Xiao Na, and the other raised her. Today, I have officially married Xiao Na, so it is only right for me to tell them about it. Little Na still refused to forgive them, so she didn't inform them of such a big matter like her marriage. That meant that she planned to cut off all ties with them from now on. However, this kind of thinking was wrong. How could she cut off the kindness of raising them for more than twenty years so easily? What's more, she was related to her mother by blood. No matter how big the mistake was, could it be compared to the word 'blood'? Xiao Na is still young. When she found out the truth of her birth, she was shocked and couldn't accept all the facts in a short period of time. Therefore, it's reasonable for her to think that way. However, I can't be like her. Do you understand what I mean? "
Li Ruixin secretly praised Old Xu in his heart. Old Xu was indeed Old Xu. He was indeed mature and thoughtful. At the same time, he was also broad-minded and tolerant. Xiao Na was like a child compared to him. He nodded and said, "I understand. You're right. This is the right way to be a child. No matter how big the mistake made by the parents, they are still the parents. As a child, we should learn to understand and forgive, and not be angry and resentful. I understand what you mean. When I return to Qingyang, I'll find time to visit my hometown and talk to them about this matter. " Xu Gengnian looked at him approvingly and said, "After you find them, tell them that Xiao Na has married me. However, don't mention my identity. Tell them that if they are still willing to recognize Xiao Na as their daughter and accept me as their son-in-law, I'll send someone to bring them to the provincial capital. We can sit down and talk about it to untie the knot in the past. Of course, if they don't, then forget it. However, I think they will still be willing to recognize me. I can't guarantee your cousin, but Xiao Na's mother should agree. "
Hearing this, Li Rui saw the shrewdness of Governor Xu in front of him again. He knew clearly that if he revealed his identity as the Deputy Governor to Li Fucai and his wife, even if they were unwilling to recognize Xiao Na, they would still be eager to recognize their precious daughter. After all, their precious daughter was married to a dignified Deputy Governor. If they recognized their daughter as their son-in-law, they could become rich and powerful. Therefore, Old Xu specially told him not to reveal his identity to Li Fucai and his wife. He nodded and said, "I'll remember it. I'll do it as soon as possible. Wait for my news."
Xu Gengnian nodded and patted his shoulder affectionately. He said, "Drive slowly on the way back. Don't rush. If you need help in the future, just let me know. "
After they left the hotel and returned to the car, Li Rui sat in the driver's seat and took out the envelope that Xu Da had given him just now. He handed it to Dong Jieyu and said, "Take a look. How much is it?" After he finished speaking, he started the engine and skillfully drove out of the parking lot. After he got on the road, he drove in the direction of Gao Zixuan's house.
Dong Jieyu was puzzled and asked, "What are you looking at? How much is it? What is this? " Li Rui said, "This is a gift from Governor Xu. As Xiao Na's family, didn't we pay a dowry of 500,000 RMB? Governor Xu probably didn't want to take advantage of us, so he replied with a so-called 'late gift'. Open it and see how much it is. "Dong Jieyu finally understood and exclaimed," Governor Xu is so particular? "As he spoke, he opened the envelope and reached in to take out a check. Li Rui nodded and said, "Governor Xu is a very particular person!"
Dong Jieyu picked up the check and held it in front of her eyes. She was shocked and said involuntarily, "So much?" Li Rui was shocked and glanced sideways at her. He said, "How much?" Dong Jieyu said, "One million." Li Rui was secretly shocked and thought that this Big Brother Xu was really generous. However, he said, "Dong Jieyu, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you are someone who has seen the world. Is one million worth making a fuss about? Your Q5 is also worth 500,000 yuan. " Dong Jieyu said, "Of course I don't care about one million RMB, but compared to the dowry you paid, this gift is a huge sum. Aiya, you really made a profit this time. " Li Ruixin's head was heavy and felt that he owed Xu Gengnian a big favor. However, after thinking about it, he had already given his beloved Li Xiaona to him. Xu Gengnian had picked up such a big bargain, so it was only right that he thanked him. Moreover, didn't Xu Gengnian ask him to help him with something? Both sides were even, so he didn't feel like he owed him anything. He said, "It doesn't matter if I made a profit or not, it's all a favor."
Dong Jieyu put the check back into the envelope and handed it back to him.
Li Rui didn't accept it and instead pushed it back to her and said, "You keep this money." Dong Jieyu frowned and said, "Why should I keep it? It's not mine. " Li Rui said, "I want to correct you. It's not 'it's not yours', but 'it's not all yours'. This money belongs to both of us. Just keep it. Consider it the capital to set up the chemical company I mentioned to you before. " Dong Jieyu hesitated for a while and said, "This is such a huge sum of money. You don't want to give it to your wife, but you want to give it to me. Are you willing?" Li Rui smiled and said, "You're also my wife. Why wouldn't I be willing to give it to you?" Dong Jieyu bitterly curled her lips and said, "Alright, then I'll keep it for now. I'll use it when I need to set up the company."
Li Rui wanted to say that she could use the money at any time and for any purpose. However, after considering that she had her own principles and he couldn't touch her pride, he didn't say anything.
After twenty minutes of speeding, Li Rui arrived at the entrance of Gao Zixuan's neighborhood. Gao Zixuan's neighborhood was a high-end neighborhood and the security level was very high. Therefore, Li Rui and his car were stopped at the entrance. After the security guard at the entrance asked Li Rui why he was there, he returned to the sentry box and used the walkie-talkie to talk to the owner of the neighborhood, Gao Zixuan. He wanted to get Gao Zixuan's personal confirmation before he was allowed to enter. Although the procedure was cumbersome and Li Rui was very impatient, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only sit in the car obediently and wait.
After about two minutes, the security guard came out of the sentry box and let his car pass.
After the car arrived at Gao Zixuan's building, Li Rui turned off the engine and said to Dong Jieyu, "I'll come back after I get the things. Wait for me. It won't be long. At most ten minutes." Dong Jieyu nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Li Rui got out of the car and walked to the entrance.
After a few minutes, Li Rui saw his "little wife" Gao Zixuan and of course, her pet dog, Xiao Niu. The attitude of the owner and the pet towards Li Rui was completely opposite. The owner was cold and unapproachable while the pet was very affectionate and would jump into his arms and lick him.
Li Rui squatted down and kissed Xiao Niu. He patted its head and scratched its back. Finally, he said, "Well, good boy, go play somewhere else. I want to talk to your mom." After saying that, he stood up and looked up at Gao Zixuan.
Xiao Niu was very obedient. It turned around and ran upstairs. Only Li Rui and Gao Zixuan were left in the living room.
