Ou Yangxin said dispiritedly, "It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not. Since you don't want to give me face, I won't flatter myself. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything … Oh, I suddenly remembered. I don't know if Director Ji Gang is interested in lobsters. Should I call him and ask?" When Li Rui heard her mention Ji Gang, his ears immediately perked up. He shouted, "Hey, I don't want this Jinxiu lobster. Why are you giving it to Ji … him?" Ou Yangxin said, "Of course, I can give the lobsters to whoever I want. You don't want it, but I can't give it to others. Director Ji usually takes good care of me. I'll give him this Jinxiu lobster to try. It's a small gift. He should be very happy and will be willing to accept it. " Li Rui heard this and understood that she was using Ji Gang to anger him. To put it bluntly, she was using Ji Gang to provoke him. He secretly praised this woman's cunning and intelligence. Thinking that she wholeheartedly wanted to give it to him, he couldn't refuse. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'll accept it, okay? I'll go find you later …"
After coming out of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui drove to his hometown in the suburbs. It wasn't the evening rush hour yet, so the road conditions were good, so he could maintain a high speed.
On the road, Li Rui drove while thinking about the relationship between himself and the original owner of the BMW, Gao Zixuan. He imagined how he would get along with her in the future if she really broke up with him. It was fine when he didn't think about it, but the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Later, he had a headache and simply stopped thinking about it.
His hometown was located on the outskirts of the northern district of the city. It was only a few kilometers away from the city, so it only took him a quarter of an hour to drive there. Therefore, he soon arrived at the door of his second brother Li Fucai's house. He looked sideways and saw that the two large iron gates were wide open. He guessed that there should be someone at home, so he turned off the car and got out of the car. He took out the few gifts he brought from the trunk and walked into the yard with them.
There was a woodcutter in the courtyard, and at this moment it was basking in the sun on the base of the house. Suddenly it saw Li Rui, a stranger, come in through the door. It jumped up and barked at him twice, but it did not bark again. Instead, it ran toward him and circled him twice, sniffing and sniffing, its tail wagging, obviously it did not have any malicious intent.
Li Rui smiled at it, looked up and shouted, "Second Brother, is Second Brother at home? Second Sister-in-law … "After she finished speaking, she had already gone up the stairs and walked towards the door.
Someone in the house had already been alerted by the dog's barking. When they opened the door and saw him, they were slightly surprised and called out, "Xiao Rui?" When they saw the gifts in his hands, they were pleasantly surprised. They smiled and said, "Look at you, you don't have to bring gifts. You're treating me like an outsider." Although they said that, they immediately took the gifts in his hands.
Who else could it be but Li Rui's second brother, Li Fucai?
Li Rui handed the gifts in his hands to him and asked casually, "Second Brother, are you alone at home? Where's my sister-in-law? " Hearing him mention Zhu Fengying, Li Fucai's face showed some disgust. He said angrily, "She's also at home, lying on the kang bed and pretending to be dead. Come, let's talk inside."
The two cousins walked into the house. Li Fucai put down the gifts first, let Li Rui sit on the wooden sofa, and made him a pot of tea. Then he walked into the bedroom on the west side and said a few words. When he came out again, Li Xiaona's birth mother, Zhu Fengying, was behind him.
Zhu Fengying's face was not good. There were several extremely obvious red and swollen patches on her forehead, eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth. The color was very dark, and there were even scabs. It was a shocking sight. When she saw Li Rui, she said listlessly, "Xiao Rui, you're here. Have you made tea?"
Li Rui saw the bruises on her face and his heart skipped a beat. Did Li Fucai hit her again recently? Wasn't that matter already over? Li Fucai didn't kill Zhu Fengying to vent his anger like he said, nor did he divorce her. The two of them made do with each other again, so why did he still hit her? Did he have to bear this grudge forever? If that happened, Zhu Fengying would not have a good life in the future. She stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother has already made tea. I'm drinking it now. Don't be busy. Sit down and talk."
Zhu Fengying said, "Oh." However, she remained standing on the ground and did not move. She looked at him eagerly. She wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth and turned to look at Li Fucai. There was a look of fear in her eyes.
Li Fucai sat down beside Li Rui. He reached for the box of cigarettes on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and handed it over.
Li Rui rejected it and said, "Second Brother, Sister-in-law, I'm here because …" Li Fucai did not wait for him to finish and said, "Xiao Rui, let's not talk about other things first. It's getting late. Why don't you eat at home tonight?" After he finished speaking, he instructed Zhu Fengying, "Go to the convenience store and buy some cooked cold dishes and two bottles of wine. I'll have a few drinks with Xiao Rui tonight."
Zhu Fengying said, "Oh." She turned around and was about to leave.
Li Rui hurriedly stood up again and raised his hand to stop her. "Don't bother, Sister-in-law. I'm not going to eat. I'm here to talk to you guys about something. After that, I'll go back. Qingman is waiting for me to have dinner with her."
When Li Fucai and Zhu Fengying heard that he had something to say, they looked at him in confusion. They did not know what he wanted to say.
Zhu Fengying was a little sensitive. She quickly thought of something and blurted out, "It has something to do with Little Na, right? Where is she now? I wanted to ask you when you first came. She left and never came back. She didn't even come back for the New Year. I miss her so much … "After she finished speaking, her eyes turned red. Tears began to form in her eyes. It seemed like she was about to burst into tears.
It would have been better if she did not say this. The moment she said this, Li Fucai was instantly enraged. He jumped up and cursed, "F * ck your mother. Why are you thinking about that little b * stard? F * ck your ancestors. How dare you think about her? Do you want to die? Are you still thinking about your f * cking lover? Motherf * cker, I'll kill you two sooner or later. I … "
Zhu Fengying was shocked. She hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid him. However, she was so scared that her body was trembling. She did not even dare to raise her head. Her body was bent over and she was sobbing.
Li Rui frowned and grabbed Li Fucai. "Second Brother, don't talk like that, and don't think like that. Listen to my advice. Let bygones be bygones and look forward. If you still want to live in the past, then divorce my sister-in-law as soon as possible. From then on, cut off all ties with her and her mother, and never interact with them again. Why are you yelling and screaming? Who are you trying to scare? Is it fun? Is it useful? "
Li Fucai glared at Zhu Fengying with hatred. He curled his lips and said, "Divorce her? She's dreaming! B * tch. She lied to me for more than twenty years. I'm not done with her. I won't stop until I play her to death. Just you wait. Hmph! "
Li Rui finally understood why Li Fucai did not divorce Zhu Fengying. It was not because he wanted to tolerate the matter. Instead, he wanted to use marriage to imprison Zhu Fengying so that he could torture her and take revenge on her. Looking at the bruises on Zhu Fengying's face, he could tell how many methods he had used to take revenge. He shook his head and said earnestly, "Brother, sit down first. Sister-in-law, find a place to sit down too.
I'll talk to you first. "Li Fucai said angrily," You don't need to persuade me. You can't persuade me. Damn it. I've lived for more than half of my life, but I still don't know that I've been cuckolded. What's more infuriating is that I raised his daughter for more than twenty years for nothing. I'm such a f * cking idiot. "He sat down after saying that.
Li Rui said to Zhu Fengying, "Sister-in-law, find a place to sit down too." Without waiting for her response, he turned to Li Fucai and said, "Second Brother, you're not wrong to think that way. If I were you, I would think the same way. I would also be angry and angry. But you have to calm down and think about it. Can you solve the problem just by being angry and taking revenge? Of course not. You said something wrong just now. You didn't raise his daughter for nothing. You raised her with your own hands. She's your daughter. Although she's not related to you by blood, she's your daughter. She doesn't recognize anyone else as her father. She only recognizes you as her father. No one can change the fact that you raised her for more than twenty years. "She, Li Xiaona, is also a filial child. She has always remembered your kindness of bringing her up. When you grow old, she will take care of you. When you die, she will send you off. This is supposed to be a blessing in disguise. But you have to be so hot-tempered and drive her out of the house. You are driving your own daughter away. Isn't this a stupid thing that will make your family suffer and your enemies happy?" Don't you think you've suffered enough? "
Li Fucai's heart was touched by these words. Thinking of Xiao Na's obedience and filial piety, his eyes became a little moist. He sighed heavily and couldn't say a word.
Li Rui said, "Second Brother, you're a smart person. I won't advise you on this matter. You can do as you see fit. It's up to you whether you want to break up your family or live a peaceful life together. It's all up to you. I'm not here to persuade you. I'm here to tell you something. Xiao Na is married. "
His words hit Li Fucai and Zhu Fengying's hearts like a bolt from the blue. Li Fucai was stunned. Zhu Fengying was stunned for a moment and then burst into tears.
Li Rui said with a cold and solemn face, "She didn't inform you of her wedding. You must have felt it. She hasn't forgiven you. Why hasn't she forgiven you? Find out the reason yourself. Of course, she's still young and a little immature. It's wrong of her not to inform you of her wedding. Fortunately, her husband is sensible and asked me to ask you if you still recognize Xiao Na as your daughter. If you do, we can find a place to sit down and have a good talk. If you don't, then forget it. Xiao Na will live with someone else and never recognize you again. "
