Zixuan returned to her seat and said to He Suli with a smile, "Auntie, your son-in-law is so handsome. He beat that bastard to the ground in just a few moves and kept praising him. Haha, he deserved it. He was so arrogant just now and even wanted to slap me. The person who can slap me hasn't been born yet."
Qingman shook her head and sighed, "It's all your fault, you brat. It wasn't a big deal. I could have tolerated this little smoke, but you just had to cause trouble."
Zixuan was not happy now. Her expression changed instantly and she shouted, "Lu Qingman, I've tolerated your husband's words just now. Now you're saying the same thing to me? As your sister, I've been protecting you, but you're blaming your sister? I was being nice to you, but now I'm making a fool out of myself. "
Qingman did not expect her to be angry. She was stunned and said tongue-tied, "That's not what I meant …"
Zixuan ignored her. She took her handbag and got up to leave. She said angrily, "I'm not eating anymore! I'm going home! "
Qingman and her had never quarreled since they became friends. Who knew that they would quarrel because of an outsider today? She was so angry that she turned around and left. She was shocked and regretful. She shouted, "Don't go, brat. I was wrong, okay?"
Zixuan did not seem to hear her. Her high heels clicked and she quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Qingman, Li Rui, and He Suli looked at each other awkwardly.
Qingman pushed Li Rui and shouted, "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and chase her back!"
He Suli also said, "Yeah, hurry up!"
Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "What the hell is going on today?" He got up and chased after them.
"Honey!"
Li Rui caught up with Zixuan just as she was about to get into the car. He quickly grabbed her arm and called her affectionately. Qingman was in the restaurant and could not hear them anyway.
Zixuan shook off his hand and turned around to glare at him, "You two are really a couple. You're even talking about the same thing! I've never hated the two of you so much! "As she spoke, she lifted her leg and gave him a kick.
Li Rui sighed bitterly, "Why did you suddenly turn hostile?"
Zixuan said angrily, "You still have the face to ask me? If you were me, wouldn't you be angry if you were blamed for helping this bastard couple? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "We're not really blaming you. Why do you take it to heart? Don't be angry. Let's go back and eat together. At most, I'll let you teach him a lesson. "
Zixuan said coldly, "I've already come out. It'll be even more embarrassing if I go back. I'm not going back. I feel disgusted when I see you two! "She said as she tried to get into the car.
Li Rui quickly grabbed her and said, "Then tell me, how can you vent your anger?"
Zixuan rolled her eyes and said, "Stay with me tonight and I'll teach you a lesson!"
Li Rui opened his mouth in shock and said in a low voice, "How is that possible? I can take you out in the afternoon, but how can I accompany you at night? I'll definitely have to stay with Qingman and your parents at night. "
Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "I said at night, not at night. Can't you go back later?"
Li Rui thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
But Zixuan was not satisfied. There was still no smile on her face. She got into the car and really had to leave.
Li Rui saw that he could not stop her and could only accept his fate. He told her to drive slowly and watched her drive away.
After returning to the restaurant and sitting down, Li Rui said to Qingman bitterly, "Zixuan is really angry. I couldn't stop her. She's already gone."
Qingman had already lost her appetite. When she heard this, she felt even worse. She stared at the table in a daze and her face was full of regret.
Li Rui comforted her. "Don't think too much about it. Zixuan isn't such a petty person. When I look for Xu Da and Lu Xing to drink tonight, I'll call her along. We can chat and laugh, and her anger will disappear."
Qingman nodded slowly and sighed, "Sigh, I shouldn't have said that just now!" She sighed again and blamed herself, "I'm used to being submissive. I've never fought for my rights. Now that Zixuan helped me, I still feel that she's too much of a busybody. Sigh, I'm such a failure!"
No one was in the mood for lunch. Li Rui had no choice but to pay the bill.
Li Rui sent the mother and daughter back to the Provincial Party Committee Compound and let them rest for lunch. He drove to find his good friend Xu Da. He had an interesting matter to discuss with him.
Xu Da had a good relationship with a high school classmate named Kang Zhiwei. They had not contacted each other since they graduated from high school. Last month, Xu Da bumped into Kang Zhiwei on the street. The two friends then reconnected. Kang Zhiwei did not go to college after graduating from high school. He went out to be a soldier for a few years. When he came back, he sold antiques and cultural relics with the elders in his family. After a few years, he had gained a lot of knowledge. However, he did not make much money. Now, he did not have a house of his own and did not have the money to marry a wife. His life was not very good.
Two days ago, there was a highway under construction outside the East Fourth Ring Road in Jingnan City. When the construction workers were digging a drainage pipe, the excavator dug down with a shovel. Halfway through, there was a creaking sound, as if it had hit something hard. The worker took the shovel back and looked at it. There were no traces of the shovel being hit by a rock. Instead, there was a layer of copper coins in the shovel. The worker unloaded the shovel and the copper coins to the side and went to dig the same spot again. This time, he dug up more copper coins.
At that time, the whole construction team was in an uproar. People crowded around and wanted to get a share of the profits. Most copper coins were worthless, but some rare coins were very valuable. Everyone knew this. Who knew if there were a few rare copper coins in the pile of copper coins? If there were a few, the cheap ones could be sold for thousands, and the expensive ones could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
The team leader ordered the driver of the excavator to continue digging down. He wanted to dig up the whole piece to see how many copper coins were hidden underneath. As a result, they did not know if they did not dig. They dug down and dug up an ancient tomb. This ancient tomb was left behind by a big shot. Not only did it have two stone doors, but it also had a roof made of blue bricks. When the stone door was opened, the things inside were eye-opening for everyone. In the middle of the tomb was a coffin that had long decayed. In the depths of the tomb, there were hard red sandalwood tables on both sides. After so many years, it had not decayed. The wooden tables were piled with gold and silver bars. There were at least hundreds of them.
When the construction team saw this scene, they almost went crazy with joy. They all wanted to go in and grab the gold bars like crazy. The scene was almost out of control. At the critical moment, the team leader stopped his men and held a small private meeting on the spot. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of this matter to everyone. The ancient tomb excavated by the construction team must be reported to the competent department of cultural relics. All the gold and silver in the ancient tomb should also be owned by the country. However, if they really handed it all over and did not get any benefits, they would definitely not agree. However, if they divided it equally, it would be the crime of grave robbing, and they might be found by the police.
After everyone understood, they discussed a distribution plan that was worthy of both sides. The so-called "worthy of both sides" naturally meant that they were worthy of the people who brought the gold and silver back to the light, and they were worthy of the country. The specific plan was that everyone in the construction team who saw it would get a share. Everyone would get a gold bar and a silver bar, and the rest would be handed over. Everyone thought that if it were not for them, the country would not have gotten the gold and silver. Therefore, it was acceptable for them to get some benefits. Of course, there was a prerequisite. After everyone got the benefits, they had to keep their mouths shut and not leak the secret. Otherwise, no one would get any benefits and they would have to go to jail.
After everyone discussed it, under the supervision of the team leader, everyone was given a small gold bar and a big silver bar. In order to avoid inconvenience of carrying them around, the team leader would keep them together if they were discovered by the competent department of cultural relics and the police who would arrive later. After the distribution, the team leader personally erased the traces of entering the ancient tomb, and then called the police. There was no need to talk about what happened after that. The police and the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau arrived very quickly. Under the protection of the police, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau took away all the gold and silver and other funerary objects in the tomb.
That night, after the construction team members returned to the dormitory, the team leader held a small meeting. The team leader meant that the gold and silver bars that everyone got were not convenient to carry around and store. If one of them was discovered by an outsider, then everyone's treasures would be in danger. It was better to convert them to cash immediately. It was safe and convenient, and there would be no future troubles. All the team members agreed with the team leader's suggestion. In the end, they decided that the team leader would find a way to sell the treasures.
The team leader happened to know Kang Zhiwei, so he contacted him immediately after the meeting. When Kang Zhiwei received the call, he realized that he could make a lot of money from this. He borrowed money from his relatives and added it to his own savings. He gathered five hundred thousand yuan and rushed over happily. After checking the quality of the gold bars with his own eyes, he weighed them and gave a purchase price according to the bars. The team leader was very satisfied with the price he gave, so he decided to sell them to him. As for the silver bars, they were not worth much, so he bought them at fifteen thousand yuan per bar.
Kang Zhiwei was not a collector. The reason why he bought the gold bars and silver bars was because he wanted to resell them and earn the price difference. It was the weekend, so he planned to go to the antique market to find a big store to sell them. Since Xu Da was free, he invited Xu Da to go with him. He planned to do business first, sell the goods, and make some money. After that, he would treat Xu Da to a good meal. When Xu Da found out that Li Rui was free in the afternoon, he invited him to join in the fun.
On the way, Li Rui called Zixuan and invited her out to play, so that she would not be sulking at home.
What surprised him was that Zixuan was not angry at all. She agreed readily and asked him to pick her up at home.
