Li Rui was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly saw the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Minsheng, walk out of the private room in a hurry. Du Minsheng held his stomach with his right hand and covered his mouth with his left hand. He looked around and walked towards the restroom.
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what was wrong with Du Minsheng, but something must have happened. Li Rui didn't have time to think. He got up and chased after Du Minsheng.
Li Rui found Du Minsheng in a cubicle in the men's restroom. He was bent over the toilet and vomiting. Li Rui was shocked when he saw this. He quickly went forward and patted Du Minsheng's back. "Secretary General, what's wrong with you?" Du Minsheng took the time to look at him. A bitter smile appeared on his pained face as he said, "Oh, it's Xiao Rui. Why are you here … ugh … ugh!" After he finished speaking, he vomited a few more times.
Li Rui noticed that the vomit he spat out was undigested food like porridge. It was white and smelled pungent. However, there were a few drops of dark red in the white, which looked like blood stains. It was a ghastly sight. He was a little nervous and asked, "Secretary-General, what happened to you? Why is there blood? "Du Minsheng smiled bitterly." It's an old problem. I have gastric problems. I have gastric bleeding. It's nothing. "Li Ruixin said that gastric bleeding was nothing. This wasn't a small problem. Du Minsheng said, "I ran around the whole day and drank the cold wind. I drank too much just now, so I vomited. Haha, it's nothing. I'll be fine after I vomit it out. Go back and do your work. Don't worry about me." How could Li Rui ignore him? The other party had two identities. One was his immediate superior, and the other was his uncle. He hurriedly said, "I've already eaten, and I'm fine now. However, this is not a small problem. Do you want me to send you to the hospital?"
Du Minsheng waved his hand and said, "It's not that bad. You don't have to go to the hospital, so don't worry. But I can't drink this wine anymore. I have to go back and take some gastric medicine." Li Rui said, "Then I'll send you back." Du Minsheng said, "No need, I have a driver. You can stay and accompany the Song Shuji." Li Rui said, "Song Shuji still has to drink with Political Commissar Sun. I think it will take a while. Let me send you back first. I'm worried about you." Du Minsheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and say goodbye to Political Commissar Sun. I'll also say goodbye to Song Shuji."
He bent over and stayed there for a while. When he really didn't feel like vomiting anymore, he got up and went to the sink outside to wash his hands and rinse his mouth. After washing his hands, he went back to the private room where Sun Youxin was entertained with Li Rui. He first excused himself from Sun Youxin, and then said goodbye to Song Chaoyang. Only then did he go downstairs with Li Rui.
On the way home, Du Minsheng leaned weakly against the back seat. His hands were covering his stomach. After a while, he regained some energy and said to Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, this is a big lesson for me. When I was young, I only cared about my work and ignored my health. I ran from place to place, and as a result, I had a lot of problems. Now that I'm older, these problems are starting to affect me. You mustn't learn from me. No matter how busy you are at work, you have to pay attention to your diet and rest. You mustn't ignore everything …"
Li Rui listened to him and said, "Okay, I remember. But your illness isn't too serious. Why don't I take you to the big hospital in the provincial capital next time?"
Du Minsheng only had one daughter, Du Weiyu. He didn't have a son. Although he wasn't too old, he was approaching middle age. Therefore, Li Rui felt that as his subordinate and nephew, even if they were separated by Qingman's relationship, it was his duty and responsibility to treat him.
Du Minsheng shook his head and said, "It's not good to treat it. The more I treat it, the worse it will get. Stomach problems can only be treated with medicine. It's not good to take medicine. "
Hearing that, Li Rui didn't say anything more. However, he made a note of this in his heart. He thought that if he met a famous doctor or a folk prescription for stomach problems in the future, he should pay attention to it.
When the car arrived at Du Minsheng's house, Li Rui got out of the car first. He opened the door on Du Minsheng's side and helped him get out. Then, he helped him up the stairs.
In the elevator, Du Minsheng looked at him and said with some emotion, "I can't tell when there's nothing wrong. Now that there's something wrong, I can tell. It's good to have a son. I can't rely on a girl." Li Rui was very happy to hear him praise himself. He comforted him and said, "That's not what you're saying. A girl has her good points. Xiaoyu is still young. When she grows up, you can count on her. Haha."
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the elevator. When they reached the door, Du Minsheng was about to take out his keys when the door suddenly opened. Two women walked out of the door. The first one was extremely beautiful and dazzling. Li Rui was stunned when he saw her. He was both surprised and happy to see her again.
This woman was Du Minsheng's sister-in-law, Chen Lihan. She had just come to talk to her sister, Chen Lijuan, about something. She was about to leave when Chen Lijuan saw her out. However, she didn't expect that Du Minsheng, who had followed her back, would bump into Li Rui.
When Chen Lihan saw Du Minsheng, she was very surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you back so early today?" When she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes had already turned to Li Rui's face. She was also a little surprised and said, "Xiao Rui?"
In front of Du Minsheng and Chen Lijuan, Li Rui didn't dare to not use the address Du Minsheng had given him. He could only respectfully call her "Auntie." When he finished speaking, he said to Chen Lijuan, "Auntie, Uncle accompanied the provincial leaders to do research for the whole day. He drank the cold wind and his stomach acted up. Just now, when he was entertaining guests, he vomited and even bled. I brought him back."
Chen Lijuan was shocked. She hurriedly came out to support Du Minsheng. She looked at him anxiously and said, "Why did you vomit all of a sudden? And you even bled? Did you bleed a lot? Go home and lie down. "As she spoke, she helped him into the house.
Seeing that something like this had happened, Chen Lihan, as her sister-in-law, couldn't just leave. She hurriedly went to help. Li Rui also followed in and closed the door behind him.
Chen Lijuan and her sister first helped Du Minsheng lie down on the bed and covered him with a blanket. Then, Chen Lijuan ran to the kitchen to make porridge. She planned to make some millet porridge that was easy to digest and feed it to Du Minsheng to warm his stomach. Chen Lihan didn't stay idle either. She helped Du Minsheng find the stomach medicine and brought it to his bedside.
Li Rui didn't treat himself as a guest. He obediently poured a cup of water and brought it to Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng leaned against the headboard. After taking the stomach medicine, he rubbed his stomach with his hands until he exhaled a long breath. He expelled the cold air from his stomach. Only then did he feel much better. He knew that he should be fine. He turned to Li Rui and said, "Xiao Rui, you should go back. I'm fine now. You should go back early to accompany Qingman. I won't keep you here."
Chen Lijuan had already finished cooking the porridge. As the pot hadn't been boiled yet, she went back to the bedroom to take care of her husband. When she heard her husband say this, she also said to Li Rui, "That's right, Xiao Rui. You should go back. Your uncle is fine. I'll take care of him." She then looked at her sister, Chen Lihan, and said, "You should go back too. Your brother-in-law has been suffering from this problem for a long time. He's fine."
Li Rui and Chen Lihan saw that Du Minsheng was indeed fine. Moreover, Chen Lijuan had to take care of him. It wasn't suitable for guests to stay at home. Therefore, they listened to the husband and wife and said goodbye to each other before leaving together.
The two of them went to the elevator lobby. Li Rui pressed the down button. As the elevator wouldn't come up immediately, he could only wait. During this time, he exchanged glances with Chen Lihan. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Lihan said graciously, "Xiao Rui, you helped me last time. I haven't been able to thank you in person. It's really …" Li Rui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Why are you here again? I already said that you don't have to be so polite. Even if we're not relatives, we're still friends. You don't have to be so formal."
As he spoke, he finally saw what Chen Lihan was wearing today. He saw that her beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was bare-faced. She wore a pink woolen coat and a snow-white high-collared cashmere sweater. Although the cashmere sweater was very white, it was still somewhat lacking compared to her fair skin. She wore a pair of light blue straight-cut jeans. The pants were slim and slim, making her slender legs even more alluring. She wore a pair of brownish-yellow pointed high-heeled leather boots. They were the kind of winter boots that covered her feet completely. Not a single bit of her feet was exposed. This outfit was fashionable and beautiful, adding to her alluring beauty.
Li Rui looked at her from head to toe, then back again. He admired her beauty to the extreme. He thought to himself that if he could have such a beautiful confidante in his life, he wouldn't trade it even if he became an emperor.
Chen Lihan smiled and said, "I'm not treating you like an outsider. I'm just being polite, hehe. Oh right, have you eaten dinner yet? If not, why don't I treat you to dinner? " Li Rui was secretly amused. It seemed like this sister was determined to return the favor from last time. He also wanted to spend some time with her in private. Unfortunately, a meal was a meal. It wouldn't be good to lie to her face. He said, "I just ate."
As they spoke, the elevator arrived. Li Rui invited Chen Lihan to go up first and followed behind her.
