These people surrounded him and sized him up for a while. Suddenly, they started talking. Most of them considered his ears and tried their best to speak in Mandarin. However, they couldn't help but have a southern accent, which was similar to Mandarin. Some of them were not used to speaking Mandarin, so they couldn't speak fluently. Their pronunciation was extremely stiff … For a moment, all kinds of accents appeared. Some were fast, some were slow, some were stuttering, and some were twisting. It sounded quite interesting.
Li Rui listened with a smile for a long time before he finally understood that these people were here to interrogate him. He hurriedly explained that he wasn't the girl in red's boyfriend. They were just friends over a glass of wine. However, after he explained for a long time, it was obvious that these people didn't believe him. They looked at him suspiciously, as if they were looking at a clumsy swindler from the north.
Li Rui was about to ask the bald man standing in front of him who they were and who the girl in red was when he suddenly heard the roar of a car engine coming from afar. He hurriedly turned his head to look. Just as he turned his head, a red figure was already in front of him. Following that, there was the sound of tires screeching against the road.
Li Rui felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard the sound of brakes. He only felt very sad. He focused his gaze and saw that it was the girl in red who was driving back. At this time, she took off her helmet and flipped her hair very handsomely. Her soft and smooth hair danced in the night sky. It was very beautiful. Thinking that she had arrived first, he knew that she had won the competition. He was happy for her and looked at her with admiration.
At this time, she heard the rumbling sound of cars on her way back. Soon, the man in white drove back and stopped not far from the girl in red. He didn't drive any closer, but he didn't go far either.
The girl in red tilted her head slightly and looked at him arrogantly. The man in white didn't take off his helmet. He stared at her for a while and suddenly stepped on the gas and drove away.
The crowd whistled and jeered at him, sending him off with sarcasm.
The man in white drove for about a hundred meters and couldn't help but look back. Anyone with eyes could see that he was reluctant to leave this place. Of course, to be exact, he was reluctant to part with someone here.
The bald man ran to the woman in red and whispered something. When he turned around and saw Li Rui's puzzled face, he explained to him in Mandarin, "This kind of trash is definitely no match for Boss."
Li Rui had already experienced the speed of the girl in red, so he was not surprised by her victory. However, when he heard that she was the boss of the Street Racer Gang, he was more or less surprised. He really did not know how a weak woman like her could become the boss of more than ten young people. Even if she had extraordinary strength, how could everyone be obedient to her? Thinking back to what the man in white had said, this woman in red seemed to have a nickname called "Fire Phoenix". En, this nickname was very appropriate. Red motorcycle, red clothes, and she was as beautiful as a phoenix.
The woman in red waved her hand at Li Rui and said, "Alright, the matter is settled. Sorry for delaying you. Sit up, I'll send you back. "
Hearing that their boss was going to send Li Rui back, the members of the Street Racer Gang were greatly surprised. Some of them began to jeer.
Although Li Rui did not understand their dialect and slang, he knew that they were joking with him and the woman in red by their teasing expressions and mischievous eyes. He did not take it to heart.
The woman in red said a few words in Cantonese to the crowd, but they all shook their heads and waved their hands to show that they did not listen. The woman in red smiled helplessly, shrugged her shoulders, and made a "do whatever you want" gesture. She continued to wave at Li Rui.
Li Rui walked over and straddled the back of her car. Just as he sat on it, the car suddenly started. Fortunately, it was not the first time he had sat in this woman's car. At this moment, he felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly stretched out his arms, circled around her waist from both sides, and hugged her tightly. He conveniently stuck his body close to her and hid his head behind her neck.
When the members of the Street Racer Gang saw his cowardly action, they all roared with laughter. Of course, some of them laughed with kindness, while others laughed with disdain and ridicule. Li Rui could no longer see their laughter because the woman in red was driving very fast. Just as the crowd started laughing, she had already disappeared into the fog with Li Rui.
The car arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Li Rui got out of the car. The woman in red took off her helmet and, as usual, flipped her long hair elegantly. Li Rui was mesmerized by her.
"You're staying here?" The woman in red's words woke him up.
Li Rui woke up from his intoxication and said in surprise, "Ah, yes, you … you …" The woman in red asked curiously, "What about me?"
Li Rui smiled awkwardly and asked, "I still don't know your name."
The woman in red smiled brightly and said, "My name is Mu Shuang. What about you?"
Li Ruixin said the word 'shuang', which was exactly the same as her personality. He said, "My name is Li Rui, Rui as in wisdom." After saying that, he asked again, "Is your surname Mu as in Mu Zi Li, or Mu as in Mu Guiying?"
Mu Shuang said, "It's Mu as in three points of water and wood."
Li Rui was slightly stunned. "Is it the Mu of the Duke of Mu who was conferred the title of Duke of Mu in Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty?"
Mu Shuang said happily, "Yes, that's it. How did you know? I'm the descendant of the Duke of Mu. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. "
When Li Rui heard this, he was surprised and curious. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said what he thought, "Is it true?" He thought to himself, "It's true that Mu Ying has descendants, and it's also true that he has ruled Yunnan forever. However, it has been nearly four hundred years since the end of the Ming Dynasty. A family has declined and withered. In addition, there have been many wars and unforeseen events. How can it continue? On television, it's said that the Sage Confucius has many generations of descendants. Which generation has produced a famous person? There are even people who hold the family tree and swear solemnly. That's true. After all, the Kong family is prosperous and has been properly protected by the imperial court for generations. However, Mu Ying's lineage isn't so smooth. At least, he wasn't welcomed in the Qing Dynasty. After that, there were disputes in the Republic of China, as well as the Japanese invasion of China and other chaos … Who would believe that a beauty who claims to be the descendant of the Mu family suddenly appeared out of nowhere? "
Mu Shuang didn't hesitate at all. At the same time, she nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true! I'm indeed the descendant of the Duke of Mu. I don't remember how many generations it has been passed down to me, but there is a family tree in my family. "
Li Rui was a little convinced now. He thought to himself that he was comparable to Duke Wei from a few hundred years ago. He actually got to know the descendant of the Duke of Mu by accident. This Mu Shuang, if he really wanted to talk about it, wasn't she a young princess? Haha, he was really lucky … No, it wasn't lucky. It should be an honor. Thinking of this, he carefully examined the beauty's appearance and figure. As expected, the more he looked, the more he felt that she had an unconcealable aristocratic temperament. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if he really saw it.
This wasn't because he had a feudal mindset and blindly worshiped the aristocrats. It was because he admired the famous people and the ancients from the bottom of his heart. As the saying goes, love the house, love its crow. Perhaps he liked the young princess in "The Deer and the Cauldron" too much. Now that he knew that Mu Shuang was the descendant of the Mu family, he couldn't help but draw her closer to the young princess. In this way, his own happiness suddenly increased, and the pride in his heart also directly exploded.
However, it was obvious that the beauty in front of him, who could barely be called a young princess, wasn't as gentle and cute as the young princess in the book. Instead, she was candid and elegant, with the demeanor of a heroine. She was more like a heroine who wielded a sword and ruled the world, not a noble princess who lived in a prince's mansion and didn't step out.
"Hasn't the Mu family always lived in Yunnan? Why did you come to Guangzhou? Although it's not far away. "
Li Rui suddenly asked this question out of the blue.
Mu Shuang raised her eyebrows and answered, "What's so strange about that? Isn't moving a very normal thing? Our ancestors escaped from Yunnan when the Ming Dynasty fell. At that time, Yunnan was attacked by the Qing army. The local chieftain wasn't reliable, so he had no choice but to escape to Guangdong Province. Since then, he has been living here until my generation. "
Li Rui nodded in understanding. Mu Shuang didn't wait for him to ask again and asked, "What are you doing in Guangzhou?"
Li Rui answered, "I'm here to participate in an international investment fair. It will open tomorrow. I just rushed over to check in today. I didn't expect to meet you in a bar …"
Mu Shuang pursed her lips and smiled. She asked again, "What do you do?"
Li Rui said, "I'm a civil servant in charge of attracting investors. So, I'm here to try my luck and see if I can attract investors for my hometown."
Mu Shuang said, "My father is a rich businessman. Unfortunately, he's only developing his business in Guangdong Province. So, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Li Ruixin said that she was quite loyal. He had only casually mentioned it, and she had thought of helping him. It was really a blessing from the heavens to be able to meet such a good friend in a foreign land. He looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. I'll go up first. You should go home early and rest. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Mu Shuang smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She didn't have time to talk to Li Rui and took out her phone to answer the call.
Li Rui couldn't leave immediately, so he temporarily waited for her to answer the call. However, he saw her face suddenly freeze. She took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. Her eyebrows suddenly raised, but she didn't say anything. He knew that something had happened to her, so he immediately shut his mouth and didn't talk to her.
Mu Shuang listened for less than ten seconds before she seemed to feel that the streets were too chaotic. She hurried to the entrance of the hotel and quickly ran to the hotel lobby. She found a quiet corner and listened attentively. Li Rui was a little curious, so he chased after her and stood behind her to watch.
Mu Shuang listened for about thirty seconds before she suddenly put away her phone. She turned around and ran out like a gust of wind. When she passed by Li Rui, she said in an urgent tone, "Something happened to my father. I have to go back immediately. Goodbye."
Li Rui saw her reaction and heard her tone. He knew that something big had happened to her father. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so anxious. Thinking of her loyalty to him, he couldn't help but chase after her and ask, "What happened? Do you need help? "
