At this time, Li Rui also saw him. He couldn't hide his relationship with Qingman anymore, but he didn't take the initiative to admit it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Director Ji, what a coincidence. You're also here for dinner?"
Ji Gang looked at him and then looked at Qing Man. With a strange smile, he asked, "Department Head Lu, Commissioner Li is … treating you to a meal?" Qing Man was also an interesting person. Hearing this, she gave him a generous smile and said, "I guess so."
When Li Rui heard Ji Gang's question, he immediately realized that Ji Gang still didn't know about his relationship with Qingman. He only thought that they were close friends. This was wonderful. It could save him a lot of trouble. He had a bad idea and decided to deliberately mislead him. He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Director Ji, if there's nothing else, we'll go up first. We'll talk later."
When Ji Gang saw his nervous expression, he was more and more certain that he was seducing Lu Qingman, the young and beautiful Department Head. Otherwise, why would he be so embarrassed and want to leave when he suddenly bumped into him? He cursed in his heart. This bastard, not only did he take advantage of the beautiful General Manager of Shengjing Hotel, Ou Yangxin, he even turned around and took advantage of Lu Qingman, the Department Head of the Municipal Party Committee's Department Head. He dared to take advantage of whoever he liked first. He was so damn hateful. Just because of this, he had an irreconcilable feud with him. However, he didn't show any special expression on his face and said, "Okay, you guys go up first."
Li Rui didn't say anything to him. He turned around and walked to the stairs. He seemed to be in a hurry. Lu Qingman followed behind unhurriedly. She didn't seem to be afraid of scandals.
Ji Gang's eyes lingered on Qingman's slender and beautiful back for a while, then quickly turned to Li Rui's back. He thought bitterly about how to use his relationship with Lu Qingman to ruthlessly checkmate him. His boss, Yu Heping, had just said not to go against Song Chaoyang and her servant. However, if Li Rui's character was not good enough, he couldn't blame him for making a move.
At the corner of the stairs, Li Rui waited for Qingman to come up. Then he held her waist and continued to walk upstairs. He smiled and said, "Ji Gang must have misunderstood. He must have mistaken me for seducing you, the beautiful Department Head." Qingman was surprised and said, "How is that possible?" Li Rui smiled and said, "How is that not possible? He still doesn't know about our relationship. When he saw me eating with you, he must have thought that I was secretly seducing you, the beautiful Department Head." Qingman was surprised and couldn't help laughing. "He still doesn't know about our relationship?" Li Rui said proudly, "Of course, this is a big secret. Not many people in Qingyang know about it."
The couple chatted and laughed as they rushed to the private room. They saw Li Jianmin and the Luo family sitting around a large round table. Li Jianmin had been given the head of the table. Luo Jintong sat next to him. However, Li Jianmin didn't have a single person sitting at the head of the table. All the seats were empty, obviously reserved for the couple. On the other hand, Luo Jintong's side, the Luo family sat together. The two families' seats could be said to be clearly separated.
At this time, Luo Jintong was talking and laughing with Li Jianmin. Looking at the smiles on their faces, they looked like a pair of old friends. As for what they were thinking, only the two of them knew. Luo Jintong's wife, who was Li Rui's former godmother, Qin Meijuan, also took the opportunity to chat with Li Jianmin. She also looked very friendly. As for the Luo family's son and daughter, Luo Qiang and Luo Shan, they were also seated. However, since the adults were talking, they didn't have a chance to interrupt. They just sat in their seats and didn't say a word. Luo Qiang was holding the latest iPhone in his hand. From time to time, he would flip through it, as if there was something precious on it.
Li Rui walked into the private room with Qingman. Immediately, the four Luo family members were alerted. The four of them raised their heads to look at him. They saw that he was well-dressed, low-key, but high-end. He was tall, handsome, and gentle. They all secretly praised him in their hearts.
Luo Jintong stood up and took the initiative to greet them, "Xiao Rui, you two are finally here. Come and sit." After he finished speaking, he waved at the couple and nodded at Qingman with a smile.
When he stood up, Qin Meijuan also stood up. She looked at Li Rui and his wife with a smile, as if she was a distinguished guest.
Li Rui saw this and couldn't help but laugh. A faint smile appeared on his face. He walked to his father and said to Luo Jintong, "Don't be so polite. Haha, come and sit." After he finished speaking, he pulled Qingman to sit down.
Luo Jintong and Qin Meijuan saw that he didn't even call them godfather and godmother. They were both annoyed and helpless. They could only smile awkwardly.
Qin Meijuan's beautiful face was full of smiles. She said in an intimate tone, "Aiya, I haven't seen you for a few days. Xiao Rui has grown up. You're so handsome now!" After she finished speaking, she turned to Li Jianmin and said, "Brother Li, how fast do you think the days pass? I feel that Xiao Rui was still playing with Xiao Shan and Xiao Qiang at our house yesterday. Today, he's so grown up. Ai, how can we not grow old?" She intentionally or unintentionally ignored Qingman's existence in her words.
Of course, Li Rui understood what she meant. She wanted to restore the close relationship between the two families by reminiscing about the past. Especially, she pointed out her godmother's identity. She didn't want his godson to forget that she was his godmother. He sneered in his heart. What were you doing earlier? If it weren't for this snobbish woman, Luo Jintong wouldn't have completely cut ties with the Li family. He didn't take her words to heart and smiled, "Have you ordered?"
When Luo Jintong and Qin Meijuan heard this, they were even more depressed. After he entered the house, he didn't call them godfather and godmother. After that, he didn't ask about their well-being and directly asked if they had ordered. It was as if he was just here to eat. However, they knew that today's meal wasn't as simple as eating. Ai, this brat was deliberately going against them. But then again, the two of them had indeed gone too far. Previously, because they thought that they were doing well, they took the initiative to cut ties with the Li family. Now that the Li family was starting to gain power, they eagerly wanted to restore the ties. How could there be such a thing as taking advantage of others?
Luo Jintong and Qin Meijuan sat back down with ugly expressions. Although they still had a smile on their faces, their smiles were not much different from crying.
Qin Meijuan forced a smile and said, "You haven't ordered yet. Haha, Xiao Rui, we were waiting for you to order. Aren't you here now? Let's order then. That … Xiao Qiang, go call the waiter and tell him to order. "
Luo Qiang muttered, "Why do you want me to go? Why don't you let my sister go? I just came back from the provincial capital and I'm exhausted."
When Qin Meijuan saw that her request was rejected by her son, she felt embarrassed and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. You'll be exhausted if you call the waiter. Hurry up."
Luo Qiang groaned as he stood up and walked towards the door.
Li Rui noticed this scene and thought that Luo Qiang was so spoiled since he was young. Even if he introduced a job to him, he wouldn't be able to do well. It was fortunate that he had asked Ji Gang to arrange a job for him. Otherwise, he would be blamed by his friends.
After a while, the waiter came in with the menu. Qin Meijuan pointed at Li Rui and said, "Give the menu to him … Xiao Rui, you order. Choose what you like to eat, haha …"
Li Rui didn't take the menu and smiled at Qin Meijuan, "You order. I'm fine with anything." Qin Meijuan repeatedly refused and said with a smile, "You order, you order. We're all old. Our tastes aren't suitable for you young people."
Luo Jintong interrupted, "Xiao Rui, you order. You and your lover order together, haha."
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "You order. I don't have any requirements for food." As he was talking, he suddenly saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him. He turned around and saw that the owner of those eyes was Luo Shan.
He and Luo Shan were very close when they were young. However, after the relationship between the two families was severed, they hadn't seen each other or contacted each other. In the blink of an eye, they hadn't seen each other for nearly 20 years. Now that he suddenly saw her, he naturally had to size her up.
Luo Shan had a head of oiled reddish-brown shoulder-length hair. Her fringe covered most of her forehead. Her face shape was the same as Hong Kong actress Li Zi's oval face. Her eyebrows were slender and beautiful, and she had a pair of charming eyes. The black and white were distinct and bright. Her nose was straight, and her lips were like a painting. It was hard not to be stunned by such exquisite facial features. Her height was about 1.7m, which was considered tall among women. Her figure was slim, and she didn't have the plump feeling of a young woman. She was like an unmarried girl. What was even rarer was that she had inherited her mother Qin Meijuan's skin color. Her skin was extremely white, like cheese that couldn't be dissolved. She was already as beautiful as a flower. Coupled with her snow-white skin, she was even more beautiful.
Although Li Rui had seen beautiful women before, he was still stunned when he saw the beauty of his former godsister. For a moment, his mind went blank. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that he couldn't make a fool of himself, so he quickly turned his eyes away.
"She was like Snow White when she was a child. I didn't expect that she would be even more beautiful when she grew up. Alright, with her looks, even if she were to compete with Zi Xuan on the same stage, she wouldn't lose out in the slightest. Tsk, tsk. It's said that Qingyang City is full of beautiful women. I didn't believe it before, but today I finally believe it! "
While he was stunned, Qin Meijuan simply walked out and took the menu from the waiter. She put it between him and Qingman and said with a smile, "Hurry up. You're welcome."
Li Rui had no choice but to open the menu and look at it with Qingman.
Qin Meijuan walked back to her seat and said to herself, "You're too polite. There's no need to be polite with godparents. Haha."
