Li Rui said seriously, "The adaptation rights of a novel should be bought with money. This is also a form of respect for the author. If Director Wang wants money, there's nothing wrong with it. It's understandable. Uncle Su, when you call him later, you can tell him that we're not asking for the adaptation rights for free. We'll pay for it. " In his heart, he scolded himself for being too naive and childish. He thought that with the friendship between Huang Xinghua and Su Yun, he could get the adaptation rights from Su Yun's descendants for free. In the end, he was quickly taught a lesson by the cruel reality. Sigh, he could not do such a stupid thing in the future.
After lunch, the three of them returned to the Su family. Su Xianghong called Wang Jianhua and asked about the adaptation rights. His wife made Li Rui a cup of hot tea and chatted with him on the sofa.
After the call, Su Xianghong smiled bitterly and returned to the living room. He said to Li Rui, "I told Wang Jianhua what you said …" Li Rui interrupted, "What's his attitude?" Su Xianghong said, "He said that he's busy with work and doesn't have time to think about this. He wants you to contact his wife directly and talk to her."
When Su Xianghong's wife heard this, she sneered and said, "Look, look, what did I say when we were eating? This guy is the most hypocritical. He obviously wants money from Li Rui, but he's too embarrassed to ask because of his status. Look, he pushed Li Rui to his wife so that his wife can talk to Li Rui about money. Look at how hypocritical he is. He wants to save face. I'm disgusted by people like him … His wife is famous for being greedy. If Li Rui really goes to her, she'll definitely take advantage of him! "
Su Xianghong said impatiently, "Aiya, stop talking."
Li Rui asked, "Uncle Su, where does Director Wang's wife work? I'll go find her myself later. You don't have to go with me. I can negotiate with her if I go alone. "
Su Xianghong said, "His wife doesn't work. She plays mahjong outside every day. But I think Wang Jianhua will greet her. You can go to her house and find her. Her address is …" He told him Wang Jianhua's address.
Li Rui stood up and said, "Okay, then I won't stay here any longer. I'll go find her now. Thank you, Uncle and Auntie."
Su Xianghong and her husband liked him very much, so they got up and tried to persuade him to stay a little longer. However, they were tactfully refused, so they could only see him out.
After leaving the Su family's house, Li Rui drove to Zixuan's house. On the way, he passed by a large shopping mall, so he stopped by the roadside and went into the mall to buy a gift for Mr. Zixuan. After waiting for a while, he returned to the car and continued on his way. After another ten minutes, he finally arrived at Mr. Zixuan's house. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw a familiar figure walking in through the gate with a bouquet of fiery red roses in her hand.
Li Rui felt that he had seen this person somewhere before. He frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he realized that this person was Gong Xiaozu, who had gone on a blind date with Mr. Zixuan a few days ago. Aiya, he was still pestering Zixuan. He didn't rest at noon and even brought roses to please her. I really had to hand it to him. However, it was useless for him to please her. Zixuan was his woman, and no one in this world could take her away. Thinking of this, he was a little proud. He took the phone and called Zixuan.
"Did Gong Xiaozu ask you out?"
After the call went through, Li Rui got straight to the point. Mr. Zixuan was stunned. After a while, he said, "No, why do you ask?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Then he just wanted to surprise you. Wait for ten seconds, and the doorbell will probably ring. "Mr. Zixuan was stunned again. After a while, he asked," You're downstairs? You saw Gong Xiaozu coming to find me? "Li Rui smiled and said," Honey, you're really smart. "Just as he finished speaking, he heard the faint sound of the doorbell on the other end. Mr. Zixuan shouted, "Oh, you're right. The doorbell really rang. Gong Xiaozu is coming up?!" Li Rui said, "Send him away. Otherwise, your husband won't be able to go up."
Mr. Zixuan didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Li Rui put down his phone and took out the gift he bought for Mr. Zixuan. It was a gold bracelet made of fine silk. He snorted and said to himself, "Who do you think you are to chase after a girl with a bouquet of flowers? You've watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan idol dramas! At the very least, you should bring a presentable gift … "
He waited in the car for five minutes before he saw Gong Xiaozu walk out of the apartment building with the bouquet of flowers. Because of the distance, he couldn't see Gong Xiaozu's expression. But when he saw Gong Xiaozu walk to the trash can and throw the bouquet into it, he couldn't help but laugh. He laughed and said, "You were rejected, right? Are you stupid? You bought it for nothing, haha!"
After Gong Xiaozu drove away, Li Rui got out of the car and walked quickly into the apartment building.
"Well done!"
After seeing Mr. Zixuan, Li Rui immediately praised him.
Mr. Zixuan stood at the door and looked at him with disdain. He said, "What did I do to make it look good?" Li Rui walked in with a smile and said, "You rejected Gong Xiaozu." Zixuan smiled and curled his lips. He closed the door and walked into the living room with him.
As soon as Li Rui entered the living room, he was warmly welcomed by Xiaoniu. As usual, he squatted on the ground and let Xiaoniu lick his face. Then he took out the gold bracelet and put it in Xiaoniu's mouth. He said with a smile, "Go and give it to your mother. This is the gift your father bought for her."
Xiaoniu was really obedient. He turned around and ran to Zixuan. He stopped in front of her and showed her the bracelet.
Zi Xuan didn't expect such a surprise. A smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face. She reached out and took the golden bracelet from Xiaoniu's mouth. After looking at it carefully for a few times, she put it on her jade-like wrist. Then she looked at the effect of the bracelet and nodded with satisfaction. She said, "You don't have to always buy things for me. It's enough for me to know that you have me in your heart. No matter how many things you buy and how much money you spend, they are not as good as the tortoiseshell pearl you gave me in the beginning. "
Li Rui sat on the sofa and said, "Honey, what do you mean? Do you think the gift I bought is not valuable enough? Or are you hinting that I should give you more treasures like the tortoiseshell pearl? " Zixuan glanced at him charmingly and said, "Are you stupid? I am pretending to be polite to you. I am hinting that you should buy more gifts for me in the future. Haha." Li Rui patted his thigh and said, "Come here, baby. Let your husband hug you."
Before Zixuan said anything, Xiaoniu had already turned around and ran to him. It ran to his legs and jumped onto the sofa, lying on his lap obediently. When Zixuan saw this scene, she laughed in an unladylike manner. Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He touched Xiaoniu's head and sighed, "I asked your mother to sit here. Why are you here? I don't want to be intimate with you. "
Zixuan walked to him with a smile and said, "I usually call it baby. You just said 'come here, baby'. Of course, it thought you were calling it."
Li Rui reached out and pushed Xiaoniu away. His other hand held the beauty's waist and pulled her into his arms. Zixuan sat on his lap and leaned into his arms.
Li Rui hugged her tightly and said, "Honey, give me a kiss!" Zixuan said playfully, "Say something nice to me first." Li Rui opened his mouth and said, "Honey, I love you. I miss you so much. I dream of you every day!" Zixuan giggled and lowered her head to kiss him. Li Rui could only see her once every few days. How could he let her go so easily? He grabbed her thin lips and kissed her fiercely. Zixuan laughed and leaned back to avoid him at first. Li Rui chased after her and held her little head to prevent her from moving. Zixuan had no choice but to cooperate.
The two of them bickered for a while and were a little emotional. When they separated, Zixuan's face was rosy and lustrous. She was so beautiful that it was as if she had been moistened by rain and dew. She said softly, "What I said just now was to tell you not to buy me anything in the future. No matter how many things you buy for me, I won't care. Because a long time ago, you moved me with that tortoiseshell pearl." Li Rui raised his hand and pinched her smooth and tender cheeks. He said with love, "Silly girl, you really haven't seen the world. You're conquered by a broken pearl?"
Zixuan said angrily, "What broken pearl? There's only one in the world, okay?" You can't buy it even if you spend 100 million or 1 billion. "Li Rui smiled and said," Our Zixuan can't be bought with money either. It's also a priceless treasure. " Zixuan said, "Anyway, don't buy me anything in the future. I said that you could only spend the three million yuan on me. Actually, it was a joke. You can spend it however you want. Of course, it's best if you spend it on Sister Qingman. She's your first wife." She took off the golden bracelet on her jade wrist and stuffed it into his pocket. She said, "Take this bracelet back to Sister Qingman. She'll be very happy. I took half of her husband away from her, so I can only treat her better."
Li Ruixin's mouth was sour and astringent. He didn't know what to say. He simply raised his hand to tease Xiao Niu who was lying next to him.
Zixuan intimately put his arms around his neck and asked, "What are you doing in the provincial capital?" Li Rui sighed and said, "Don't mention it. It's too troublesome to get the film adaptation rights of a novel. Oh right, I have to go now. Business is more important. I'll come back to accompany you when I have time." Zixuan said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Tell me, maybe I can help."
