"Sister Luo, I apologize to you. I've been really busy these days, whether it's family or work. I really didn't have time to accompany you. Please don't take it to heart. I've never been a heartless person … "
Li Rui apologized to Luo Nana with a smile while bowing to her.
Luo Nana laughed and glanced at him, "Alright, you're not an outsider. Why are you acting like this? Come in and sit down."
Li Rui walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Luo Nana asked, "What would you like to drink?" Li Rui waved his hand, "I'm not drinking anything. I just finished eating and came over to ask for your help. You don't have to busy yourself. Sit down too." Luo Nana walked to his side and sat down. She intimately leaned against him and asked with a faint smile, "Ask for my help? Tell me, are you thinking of messing with someone again? "Li Rui smiled bitterly," How is that possible? Sister, do you think I'm the kind of guy who messes with people for no reason? I want to ask for your help in introducing someone. "Luo Nana was slightly surprised and said," You want me to introduce someone? Who? You? "Li Rui shook his head and said," It's not me. I won't hide it from you. It's my father-in-law. "Luo Nana couldn't help but laugh," You? Introduce someone to your father-in-law? Did I hear wrong? "
Li Rui began to explain the basic situation, "My father-in-law is from the provincial capital and also works there. He lost his wife in his middle age and has been living as a widower until now. Recently, my wife and I have started to consider remarrying him. I remembered that Sister Luo used to work in the provincial capital and was engaged in similar matchmaking work. You have a lot of connections. More importantly, you're in contact with people from the upper circle. So I wanted to ask you to see if you can find someone who fits the criteria. Speaking of conditions, our conditions are a bit high. But there's no other way because my father-in-law's conditions are special. Listen to it. First of all, the girl's family background is weak and there are few relatives. What's the best type? No matter if it's congenital or acquired, the girl should only have her own family around her. She should be the best. Second, the character should be gentle and virtuous … "
Since he wanted to ask for her help in introducing someone, he naturally had to tell her the basic situation and requirements. Therefore, Li Rui only hid the identity of his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, and told Luo Nana the other basic information...
After listening to him, Luo Nana didn't feel that his requirements were harsh. She was a little stunned, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked, "Is there an age limit for the woman? Since he's your father-in-law, he shouldn't be young. He should be around sixty years old. Can the woman be younger? " Li Rui saw that she seemed to have found a suitable candidate and was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Sure, why not? Of course you can. There was no rule that stated that a sixty-year-old man had to marry a sixty-year-old woman. As long as the girl's age isn't too young, it's fine. " Luo Nana smiled and said, "Then I do have a friend who fits all your conditions. She's an older sister I met in the past." Li Rui smiled and said, "Is that so? Then quickly tell me her basic situation."
Luo Nana didn't keep him in suspense and told him the woman's basic situation.
The woman was in her forties and was from Jingnan. When she was studying, she moved to the capital with her parents because of her father's work. She settled down in the capital and grew up to be an adult. Unfortunately, her son died of leukemia. Her husband divorced her for unknown reasons and she didn't remarry. Then, a few years ago, her parents died of illness and she didn't stay in the capital. She sold her property and returned to her hometown, Jingnan. Her family was wealthy, so she did not have to worry about not having enough money to spend. Hence, she did not look for a job after returning to Jingnan. Her daily routine was to stay at home, read books, play the piano, exercise, and do some body care (Luo Nana met her at the spa). Her daily life was very regular, and her social relationships were also very simple.
After Luo Nana explained the basic situation, she commented, "Her parents are both only children and she's also an only child. She doesn't have any children. So now, she's the only one left in her family. She fits the first condition you mentioned. Moreover, she's from a scholarly family. You can see from her daily hobbies that she's a well-educated, gentle and virtuous woman. In fact, her personality is also very good. She's courteous to everyone. I've never seen such a good woman like her. She's not bad looking either. She's quite handsome and with her regular body care, she looks like she's in her thirties … "
Li Rui listened to her comments one by one and was overjoyed. He smiled so widely that his eyelashes were about to bloom. However, he had a doubt and hurriedly asked, "She didn't choose to remarry when she was young. Now that she's older, will she still remarry?" Luo Nana nodded, "On the surface, she said that she wouldn't consider it anymore. But there was one time when I asked her to go to the KTV to sing. After she drank some wine, her tone softened. She said that if she met someone suitable, she would consider it. I guess she's tired of living alone. Not to mention her, if it were me, without parents, children, and relatives by my side, I would probably have gone crazy by now. Her mental fortitude is still quite strong. "
Li Rui was overjoyed and asked, "Then would she be willing to marry a sixty year old man?" Luo Nana smiled bitterly and shook her head slowly, "I can't say for sure. After all, I'm not her. If you want me to consider it, I'd rather die than marry an old man. But she might consider it. After all, her situation is special. I'll ask her for you. " Li Rui nodded, "I'll leave it all to you. If she's not willing, you can talk to her a little. Tell her that my father-in-law is of noble status and that she'll definitely have a bright future after she marries him." Luo Nana narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Okay. Wait for my news. I'll try to contact her as soon as possible. I can't do it tonight. It's a little late."
Logically speaking, Li Rui should be able to say goodbye after he was done with the business. However, he had not contacted Luo Nana for a long time. Today, he finally paid her a visit. If he left right after talking about business, it would be too unkind of him. Therefore, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked about Luo Nana's recent situation.
Luo Nana was still the same as before. She continued to weave her huge bureaucratic network. One after another, she received a few projects from several officials and earned some money. However, she wasn't interested in money. She only enjoyed the pleasure of controlling officials. To be more precise, she enjoyed the pleasure of controlling power.
Li Rui sighed after listening. He couldn't help but advise her again. He advised her to give up on this dangerous game. If she failed, not only would she lose her freedom, she might also lose her precious life. Last year's Heiyao Gully Mine Disaster was enough to prove this point. Many times, in order to cover up their crimes, many officials didn't hesitate to kill.
After listening to his advice, Luo Nana only smiled and didn't refute. Li Rui knew that his advice was in vain.
He got up and said goodbye. Luo Nana stood up lazily to send him off. When she got up, her upper body leaned forward. As a result, the neckline of her nightgown fell down, revealing a large gap in front of her. Li Rui was standing beside her, watching her get up. Looking down from above, he happened to see her indecent scene. Although he didn't mean to peek, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of her snow-white skin inside. After seeing it, his heart heated up and his mouth became dry.
Luo Nana didn't know that her spring scenery had been exposed. She got up and sent him off.
She didn't know what Li Rui was thinking. Perhaps he wanted to express his intimacy with her, or perhaps he wanted to tease her a little. He said, "Why are you doing this without a reason?" Luo Nana was startled. She looked at him and then looked down at her nightgown. Her eyes focused on her chest. She smiled at him and said, "How did you see it?" Li Rui said, "Just now when you got up. But I didn't do it on purpose." Luo Nana looked at him and said, "Whether it was on purpose or not, you saw it too. Did it look good?" Li Rui was secretly amused. This sister really couldn't be teased. A casual sentence from him was enough to make her sit up. Now she was trying to tease him. He laughed and said, "It looked good. I almost had a nosebleed." Luo Nana laughed delicately. She laughed so hard that her body trembled. She said, "One day, I really have to make it bleed."
Back home, Li Rui told Lu Qingman about Luo Nana's eldest sister. Of course, he didn't hide her identity as Luo Nana. He told her about how Luo Nana came to Qingyang from the provincial capital. He also told her about how Luo Nana and Gao Zixuan knew each other. He only hid the fact that he had helped Luo Nana and that he had a little ambiguous relationship with her.
Lu Qingman wasn't interested in Luo Nana's background or story. She was interested in the situation of the eldest sister that Luo Nana had told her. She was very happy to hear it. She said worriedly, "According to what she said, her eldest sister is an excellent woman in all aspects. She's also very young. But will such an excellent woman be willing to marry our father?" Li Rui said, "I'm also worried about this. But it's useless to worry. Let's wait for the news. Maybe that woman is fated to be with our father …"
The next day, it was the last day of the Qingming Festival. It was also the day of the Qingming Festival. When they woke up in the morning, the weather was a little gloomy. There was a lot of moisture in the air. It seemed like it was going to rain. In fact, there had been a drizzle around the Qingming Festival in Qingyang for the past few years. It was unknown if the heavens wanted to add to the fun of Du Mu's thousand-year-old ancient poem, "Qingming".
