"Sigh, Jingjing has already let go. Why can't I let go? Is it because I love her so much that I'm going crazy? Or is it because I've gotten rich recently? "
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away from Building No. 8.
The number of the villa on sale was "15". It was far less auspicious than Yuan Jingjing's Building No. 8. The location was also a little remote. However, it was the best choice for the pregnant Li Xiaona. As for the layout of the house, it was no different from Yuan Jingjing's. In terms of decoration, it was very high-end and looked very new. Li Xiaona could just move in directly. The owner of the house left behind a set of furniture and appliances that were 90% new. According to the salesman, the owner was willing to give it to the buyer for free.
Li Rui walked around the house and felt very satisfied. He immediately nodded and said that he wanted this house. The salesman was very happy. After all, this house was worth more than three million yuan. He could get a commission of about twenty thousand yuan. This order was equivalent to a few months of his income. He immediately praised Li Rui for being "rich". Then, he suggested that they go back to the company and go through the corresponding procedures to buy the house.
Li Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not buying the house. The owner is not feeling well and can't go out. I'm buying it on her behalf. How about this? I'll go back to the company with you first, sign the agreement, and pay the deposit. Then, I'll go to her to get her ID card and household register. After I get them, I'll go to you to sign the formal contract and go through the procedures. "
The salesman nodded and said, "No problem, no problem. You can do whatever is convenient for you. If you need help, just let me know. You don't have to be polite with me. I'll treat you to a meal later. Thank you for this big order, hehe …"
Li Rui and the salesman went back to the real estate agency. They signed the purchase agreement and paid the deposit of fifty thousand yuan. After the preliminary procedures were completed, they came out and saw that it was already ten o 'clock. They called Xie Peilan and asked her where she was. From Huangzhou City to Qingyang City, it would take at least three hours and at least four hours. It was almost time.
After the call went through, Li Rui asked and learned that the siblings had already left the provincial capital, Jingnan, and were only 50 to 60 kilometers away from Qingyang. They would arrive in about half an hour. Therefore, he made an appointment with them to meet at Zuixian Restaurant at noon and have lunch there. After that, he would go to Song Chaoyang's house to visit Sun Shuqin.
Li Rui drove home first. After greeting Qingman, he took a break and drank some water. Seeing that it was almost time, he hurriedly drove to Zuixian Restaurant. When he arrived and asked for a private room, he saw the boss, Old Cripple Zheng, standing outside the front desk. Beside him was a beautiful woman in her forties with a plump body. He had never seen her before. She went up and talked to Old Cripple Zheng.
When Old Cripple Zheng saw him, he pulled him to his side intimately and introduced him to the beautiful woman. "Brother, this is my sister-in-law, Wang Hongyu … My wife, this is Brother Li Rui that I always mentioned to you. He is righteous and kind. He is a good friend. You can recognize him. He comes here for free."
Wang Hongyu was also a person who liked to put on airs. She warmly extended her hand to Li Rui and said with a smile, "Oh, so this is Brother Xiao Rui. I have heard about you for a long time and have always wanted to meet you. But Yecheng (Zheng Yecheng, Old Cripple Zheng's full name) always said that you were busy and didn't have time. I didn't expect to see you today. Tsk, tsk, you are so handsome and so young.
You are so young and promising. "Li Rui smiled and shook hands with her." Sister-in-law, don't praise me. I don't want to be proud. Hehe. "Then he said to Old Cripple Zheng," Brother, you are in luck. "
Old Cripple Zheng smiled and asked, "Oh, what do you mean?"
Li Rui said, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful and has a good temper. Won't you be in luck if you marry her?"
Old Cripple Zheng laughed and patted his arm. "Yes, yes, I am in luck. I have enjoyed a lot of luck with her in my life."
Wang Hongyu said angrily, "I knew you couldn't say anything good. Look at how good Xiao Rui is at talking. You are so disgusting and obscene."
Old Cripple Zheng didn't take it seriously. He laughed as if he was praised by her.
Li Rui said, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to my brother. I am here to eat, so I have to charge you. Give me a big discount. Don't give me a free meal. Otherwise, I won't come next time. Hehe."
They were talking and laughing when Li Rui received a call from Xie Peilan. She should have arrived by now. He looked back at the parking lot and saw Xie Duzhong's Mercedes-Benz parked outside. He said to Old Cripple Zheng and his wife, "My friend is here. Go out and greet them. We will talk later. By the way, brother, prepare a private room for me. "Then he turned and ran out.
After he left, Wang Hongyu reached out and pinched Cripple Zheng's ribs hard. She scolded, "You're so shameless. You're making me lose face. What do you mean by enjoying the good fortune on me? Can you be any more shameless? "
Old Cripple Zheng smiled and said, "Xiao Rui is not an outsider. Besides, we are an old married couple. What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, didn't Xiao Rui mean that?"
Wang Hongyu laughed and scolded, "Get out of here. Some people like you, and some people like you when you say it. Some people want to kick you when you say it. "
Old Cripple Zheng said with a smile, "You can kick me tonight. I will let you kick me as much as you want. I am going to book a private room for Xiao Rui. See you."
Outside the restaurant, Li Rui guided Xie Duzhong to park the car. After the siblings got out of the car, they met each other. Old friends met again, so they naturally had some intimate words to say.
"Duzhong, didn't you complain that I didn't treat you to a drink? Let's drink until we are drunk at noon. Haha!"
Xie Duzhong laughed and said, "I am afraid we can't drink at noon. Don't you have to treat your leader's wife? When we are all free at night, we can drink to our hearts' content. "
Hearing his words, Li Rui suddenly remembered the last time he drank with Xu Da at the top of the Donggang Ancient Pagoda in the east of the city. He was fascinated. Then he thought of Xu Da. Last time, he suddenly left after receiving an urgent task. Until now, he hadn't heard from him. He was really worried about him. When he was free, he would call him to ask about him.
The three of them talked and laughed as they entered the restaurant. The proprietress, Wang Hongyu, was still standing at the front desk. When she saw Li Rui bring the guests back, she personally led them to the private room. The private room was specially arranged by Old Cripple Zheng. There was a big bunch of fresh fruit juice on the table inside. Li Rui asked the siblings to take a seat. He poured a full glass of juice for each of them and served it to them.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the three of them said their goodbyes to each other. In the end, they talked about the deceased Huang Xinghua. The three of them sighed endlessly. Xie Duzhong said, "Huang Xinghua was a good man. Unfortunately, he was killed by his grandson. Otherwise, with our careful treatment, he could have lived for at least another year."
Xie Peilan looked sad. She looked at the table and was lost in thought. She seemed to be recalling Huang Xinghua's voice and smile.
When Li Rui saw that the siblings only felt sorry for Huang Xinghua's death but did not mention their efforts, efforts, and expenses in treating him, he secretly praised them in his heart. The siblings were really benevolent, kind, and honest doctors. It was really a blessing that he could make friends with the two of them in his previous life. However, he did not point out that Huang Xinghua's housekeeper, Qi Fengchi, was building a medical center for the two of them in Huangzhou City. When the medical center was completed, the siblings would be able to get a big surprise.
After lunch, Li Rui first took the siblings to Qingyang Hotel and arranged accommodation for them. It was a long journey from Huangzhou to Qingyang. Xie Duzhong was already tired driving all the way. Naturally, he couldn't rush back on the same day. He had to rest for at least one night. Moreover, the siblings were here to treat Sun Shuqin. Even if Li Rui's identity as Sun Shuqin's friend aside, as Sun Shuqin's "housekeeper," he should arrange a place for the siblings to stay.
When they asked for a room at the front desk, Xie Peilan took out her wallet and wanted to pay the deposit. How could Li Rui agree? He pushed her wallet back without hesitation. This action made Xie Peilan smile helplessly and happily.
After the siblings settled down, they took a short rest and followed Li Rui to the Standing Building of the Municipal Party Committee's Family Compound to treat Sun Shuqin.
After the three of them arrived, they were warmly welcomed and treated by Song Chaoyang and Sun Shuqin. After exchanging some pleasantries, Xie Peilan began to treat Sun Shuqin. On the other side, Xie Duzhong didn't stay idle. He took out the moxibustion equipment and taught Song Chaoyang and the housekeeper, Sister Zhao, how to use it. He also taught Sun Shuqin's diet.
Once the siblings got busy, they couldn't finish in a short time. Li Rui said goodbye to them and left temporarily. He drove to his hometown, Yongyang Town, to find Li Xiaona to get a series of documents needed to buy a house. He would come back later to meet the Xie siblings and have dinner together.
After all, it wasn't appropriate to go to his cousin's house empty-handed. Therefore, Li Rui found a supermarket on the way and parked his car. He went in and picked three or four fruits. When he was about to leave after paying the bill, a white Porsche Cayenne suddenly drove over and stopped outside his car.
When Li Rui parked his car, he parked it next to a Volkswagen in front of him. It was right at the entrance of the supermarket. The right tire was on the curb. If he wanted to go out, he could only turn left. However, the white Porsche Cayenne came and stopped to the left of the BMW X5, blocking his way out.
