For the rest of the time, the two of them drank tea while waiting for Wang Jianhua to come back. Although his wife had cut the watermelon and washed the grapes, the two of them didn't eat.
Wang Jianhua's wife would say a few words to the two of them from time to time, but she was very careful when she spoke. It was as if she had to consider every word carefully before she spoke. Moreover, her tone was respectful, as if she was welcoming the two of them. Of course, she didn't mention her son to Zixuan again. Her son was the second generation of a provincial official. No matter how outstanding the girl was, he was more than qualified to be with a girl from an ordinary family. However, he was definitely not a good match for the daughter of a provincial official like Zixuan. Moreover, Zixuan was so outstanding that he was practically heaven-defying. Earlier, when she didn't know Zixuan's true identity, she still dared to forcefully drag the supporting female lead into the conversation. Now that she knew Zixuan's true identity, she wouldn't dare do it again even if she was beaten to death.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Director Wang finally rushed back. As soon as he got home, he didn't even have time to put away his briefcase before he ran straight to Li Rui. With a face full of smiles, he took the initiative to extend his hands to him and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry. I neglected you this morning. Please don't mind. I was really busy this morning. I was so busy that I didn't have time to ask you to stay for a while longer …"
When Zixuan saw this scene, a trace of disdain flashed across the corners of his mouth.
Li Rui was very considerate of his feelings. He smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Wang. I understand that you were busy. However, I'm really sorry for bothering you so many times."
After shaking hands with Li Rui and exchanging pleasantries, Wang Jianhua went to shake hands with Zixuan and said with a smile, "Is this the daughter of the Provincial People's Head Gao? Tsk, tsk, you're really talented and good-looking! Welcome, welcome, welcome to my home … "
Li Rui was secretly amused. This Director Wang was out of words. Why did he even use the words "talented and good-looking" on Zixuan? Zixuan's "appearance" was indisputable, but his "talent" was not reflected in the outside world. How did he know that Zixuan was talented?
After greeting the two, Wang Jianhua invited them to take a seat. Then, he took out a simple plastic folder from his briefcase and handed it to Li Rui, saying, "This is a copy of the copyright succession of 'Wind and Rain', as well as the film and television adaptation rights authorization that I just wrote. It's signed and stamped with my thumbprint. Take it."
Li Rui smiled and asked, "You authorized me directly? You don't need to pay for the acquisition? "
Wang Jianhua waved his hand and said with a strong sense of righteousness, "Hey, don't mention the money. That overseas Chinese has good intentions. He also wants to carry forward my late mother's works and let her works spread more widely and be accepted by more people in the country. This is a great thing. As the copyright owner, how can I be greedy for a little profit? Of course, I have to support his selfless actions … Oh, right, Brother Li, give me your contact number. If you encounter any problems in the adaptation process, you can contact me at any time. We'll be friends in the future, and we can get together often. Haha … "
Ten minutes later, Li Rui and Zixuan were personally sent downstairs by Wang Jianhua and his wife. The four of them shook hands and said goodbye. Li Rui and Zixuan then got into the car and left.
Wang Jianhua looked at the white Bentley in the distance and sighed. "We almost made a big mistake!"
His wife slapped her own mouth and said regretfully, "With our little capital, I wanted her to be our daughter-in-law. Look at her now. She casually drove a Bentley. It's enough for our son to work hard for two years. Sigh, today was really embarrassing!"
Wang Jianhua looked at her in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
His wife then told him what she had said to set up Zixuan and their son. Wang Jianhua was angry and resentful when he heard it. He glared at her and scolded, "You damn old woman, don't you think I've embarrassed myself enough?"
On the way home, Li Rui was very happy. He held Zixuan's hand and interlocked their fingers. "My good wife, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your help today, I wouldn't have been able to get the adaptation rights so easily." Zixuan said, "You're silly. Actually, when you met Wang Jianhua this morning, you should have told him about your background. If you didn't use your background and pretended to be an ordinary person, it would only delay things." Li Rui sighed and said, "How could I use my father-in-law's name just to take advantage of things? Furthermore, I'm only his son-in-law, not his son. Our relationship is special and sensitive. I can't act recklessly. If I were the governor's son, it would be better … "
Zixuan said, "This is because you're too sensitive. You don't see yourself as a member of the Lu family. Although you're only a son-in-law, a son-in-law is half a son. In the future, the old man will have to rely on you to take care of him when he's old. Qingman will also have to grow old with you. Your children will also have to continue the Lu family's bloodline. No matter how you look at it, you can be said to be the old man's son. He might like you more than he likes Qingman. After all, the hope and future of the whole family is on you. Only when you're well, the whole family will be well. I might be a little snobbish, but it's the truth … Oh right, don't you feel a little inferior? What's there to feel inferior about? Your identity and background are all fake. It's all given by others. Kindness is the real good. The Lu family likes your character and temperament. This is much more valuable than money or an official position. You don't have to feel inferior to others … "
These words hit the nail on the head. Li Rui secretly nodded. He also reflected in his heart. Was he really too "distant"? Did he not see himself as a member of the Lu family? Did he not truly integrate into the Lu family? The reason why he did not truly integrate into the Lu family originated from his own inferiority complex. In addition, he was extremely respectful to Lu Zhouxing. In his heart, he completely saw him as the governor. Even when he was face to face with him at home, he could not help but add the two words "governor" in front of his "father-in-law". Although it was not as nervous as the ancient emperor's son-in-law facing his father-in-law, it was not too far off. Thinking about it this way, he felt a little emotional.
"Go home and talk to Qingman about this. Discuss with her and see how to change this mentality."
After temporarily resolving this knot in his heart, Li Rui was in a better mood. When he was about to thank Zixuan for his kindness, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Didn't you say that you would go to the company on your way back?" Zixuan glanced at him while driving carefully and said, "It's the same if I go tomorrow. You go first today. It's rare for you to come to the provincial capital. Of course, I have to spend more time with you." Li Rui smiled with gratification and said, "You don't have to do it for me. Go do what you need to do. I have to go back to Qinyang right away. Business is more important. I'll come back to accompany you when I'm not busy." Zixuan glanced at him again and asked with a little disappointment, "You don't want to stay tonight?"
Li Rui sighed and said, "When I came out just now, I was thinking that if I didn't get the copyright today, I wouldn't go back. I wanted to enjoy my Zixuan's stockings and feet tonight. Who knew that this trip would go so smoothly? I have to hurry back to Qinyang and prepare for the next mission. Elder Huang is terminally ill and doesn't have much time left. I have to hurry up and try to let him see the television series broadcast before he passes away. " Zixuan snorted and said, "If you ask me, this Elder Huang is really stupid. He didn't cherish her when she was alive. Now that she's dead, he's trying to curry favor with her. He even wants to invest in the adaptation of her novel. But what's the use of that?"
Li Rui patted her delicate hand and signaled for her to stop talking. He sighed in his heart. How could this big brother of his not want to visit Su Yun when she was alive? He must have thought about it before, more than once, but he never did. He must have his own difficulties. It was fine if outsiders didn't know about it, but they couldn't accuse him of betraying her. He thought about it again. His difficulties were never told to him, so it probably wasn't anything good. But he believed that when he poured out his heart in front of Su Yun's grave that day, he had already told Su Yun. If Su Yun's spirit was in heaven, she would understand him.
When the car reached the ground floor, Li Rui was about to get out of the car when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Didn't you say that you're going to Qinyang this week to attend the donation event that I planned?" Zixuan said, "I'm a little busy this week, so I didn't have time. Have you arranged everything?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Not yet." Zixuan raised his hand and twisted his ear and scolded, "If you haven't arranged it, why the hell would I go? Do you want me to come here for nothing? " Li Rui hurriedly begged for mercy, "Aiyo, honey, I was wrong. I'll go back and get someone to arrange it. You can come next week and we'll have a good gathering then."
Zixuan rolled his eyes and let go of his ear and said, "If I don't teach you a lesson in two days, you'll be itching for a beating." Li Rui looked at her clothes and said, "Honey, I really like your clothes. You're going to Qinyang next week, wear this again." Zixuan said, "Hmph, if you didn't say that, I might have considered it. But if you say that, I won't let you have it." Li Rui laughed out loud and said, "You'll definitely wear this! Alright, I should go now. Let's kiss goodbye. "Zixuan scolded," Get lost. You're not even going to stay with me and you want to kiss goodbye? Do you think I care about you that much? "
Li Rui didn't take it to heart and said with a cheeky smile, "Then can I kiss your feet instead of your mouth?" Zixuan looked at him and scolded, "Pervert!" However, there was already a smile on his face as he said, "This is what you asked for. Then kiss my feet goodbye. Haha, haha." After she finished speaking, she moved the chair back to its maximum distance and leaned slightly to the side. She curled her right leg up and raised it in front of him.
Li Rui didn't hesitate and didn't hold back. He held her slender and beautiful leg with both hands and moved his head closer. He kissed her fair and tender foot that was covered by the thin skin colored stockings.
Zixuan looked at him with a playful expression. She just smiled and didn't say anything.
