Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Just as he thought of Li Dongqi's secretary, his secretary really appeared. Li Rui originally thought that Peng Shaolong was only on good terms with Li Zheng, but he didn't expect that Peng Shaolong would have connections with Li Dongqi as well. Li Rui didn't expect that Peng Shaolong would have connections with Li Dongqi as well. Li Dongqi even sent his secretary to attend his engagement ceremony, which brought him a lot of glory. However, ordinary people wouldn't be able to understand the details of this matter. The guests and friends would definitely think that an ordinary department head of the Municipal Party Committee was attending the ceremony. Only the leader with the surname of Song, who was famous for his work in vain, knew about this department head's background and praised him greatly, inviting him to come on stage first …
While he was letting his imagination run wild, the director of the Second Department had already gone on stage and started his speech. His first sentence was earth-shattering. "Thank you, everyone. I have been asked by Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee to attend Shaolong's engagement ceremony. I feel very honored. At the same time, I also bring Secretary Li's beautiful blessings to the two newlyweds …"
The guests and friends were shocked when they heard this. They didn't know the background and background of this director of the Second Department. Almost no one knew that he was actually a deputy director and had the position of deputy mayor or deputy bureau chief. However, they all knew the concept of the Municipal Party Committee's deputy secretary. That was a legitimate city leader and ranked high among the city leaders. Other than the Municipal Party Committee's secretary and mayor, he was the next in line. Such a high-ranking leader actually knew about Peng Shaolong's engagement ceremony and even sent his subordinate to attend the ceremony and send his verbal blessings. How many connections did Peng Shaolong have? How much influence did he have?
When the guests and friends thought of this, they felt a little proud. They didn't live in vain to be able to attend such a high-level engagement ceremony in their lifetime. In the future, they could brag about it to their friends and family. "I've been to an engagement ceremony before. Even the city leader sent someone to attend it!"
Mu Shuang wasn't interested in the director's speech at all. She gently tugged at Li Rui and whispered, "I'm going to the restroom. Come with me."
Li Rui's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He glared at her and said in his heart, "Big sister, I'm your friend, not your best friend. How can you let me accompany you to the toilet?"
Mu Shuang found it strange that he was not moving. She turned her head and said, "Let's go!"
Li Rui lowered his voice and said, "Are you kidding me? Do you need a man to accompany you to the bathroom? "
Only then did Mu Shuang realize that he had misunderstood her intentions. "The bathroom is outside. It's not very close. Since you have time, of course you have to accompany me there."
Li Rui nodded and walked with her through the crowd. They exited the main entrance of the banquet hall and walked along the winding path for about a hundred meters before they finally found the washroom hidden in the flowering trees. Mu Shuang ran in in an unladylike manner. Li Rui smiled and walked to the tree at the side to wait.
Ding! His phone suddenly received a text message. The crisp sound of a notification sounded in the silent night.
Li Rui casually took out his phone. When he saw the message, he almost laughed out loud. The message was from Mu Shuang, who had run into the ladies' room. The content of the message was, "Damn it, there's no more toilet paper in the ladies' room. Help me find some." After laughing, he was puzzled and replied, "I saw you go in with your bag!"
Mu Shuang replied, "I'm carrying my handbag. There's no toilet paper in my handbag!"
Li Rui looked at the male and female signs at the entrance of the restroom and typed, "I'll find some for you in the men's restroom. But how do I get it?"
Mu Shuang replied, "Don't use the toilet paper in the men's restroom. It's so dirty. Go to the banquet hall or my car to look for it. Just bring it over when you find it. There's no other woman in the restroom now."
Li Rui thought for a while. If he went to her car to look for her car keys now, the chances of him being discovered by the women in the ladies' room would be twice as high. Therefore, it was better to look for it in the banquet hall. Thus, he quickly walked to the banquet hall.
A few minutes later, Li Rui took out five to six tissues like a thief from a tissue box on a small table in the banquet hall. He carefully folded them in his hand and turned to walk to the door. After taking a few steps, he realized that Li Zheng, whom he had just met, was walking not far ahead. He was holding his phone and making a call. Then, he put the phone to his ear to answer the call.
He did not want to have any contact with Li Zheng, so he slowed down and planned to speed up after Li Zheng walked out of the door. The two of them walked out one after another. When Li Zheng reached the door, he turned right and walked to a quiet corner outside the banquet hall to make a call. Li Rui saw what was going on and began to quicken his pace. He thought to himself that he had turned left when he went out so that he could avoid Li Zheng and avoid seeing him.
"… There's a rascal who disgusts me. Bring some of your brothers over …"
Li Rui had just run to the door when a gust of wind carried Li Zheng's voice into his ears. Speaking of which, he was really lucky. Not only was Li Zheng on the phone, but Li Zheng was also speaking in Mandarin. The gust of wind also happened to carry his voice over. If any of these three conditions were missing, he would not have been able to hear what Li Zheng was saying.
When Li Ruixin heard this, he felt that Li Zheng was targeting him. At that moment, he was in no hurry to give Mu Shuang the tissues. He looked at the five people around him and bent down. Step by step, he crept toward where Li Zheng was talking. He hid behind the banquet hall's door pillar about two to three meters away from him and eavesdropped on his conversation.
"… I'll keep an eye on him. When he leaves, I'll send you a signal. Bring your brothers to intercept him at the foot of the mountain. Think of a way to force his car to stop, then drag him out and beat him up … Idiot, of course I'll tell you the car he's in and the license plate number. Do you even need to ask? Uh … How will you beat him up? The minimum requirement is to beat him up until his head bleeds. It'll be best if you break his arms or legs so that he'll be in pain for a few months … Also, there might be a beauty in a red dress in the car with him. I'll confirm this with you guys when he leaves. If they're in the same car, I'll appear when you guys beat that bastard up and pretend to be a hero … No, I mean a hero saving the beauty. You guys have to cooperate with me and put on a show so that the beauty will be grateful to me. Okay, it's good that you understand. It's settled then. You guys get ready now. Okay, okay, I'll call you later … "
When Li Rui heard this, he knew that Li Zheng was about to finish his call and return to the banquet hall. He hurriedly left the doorpost and ran in the direction of the washroom. Just as he ran three or four meters, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Mu Shuang calling. He knew that she was waiting anxiously. He didn't answer the call and directly rejected it as he jogged over.
Hmph, he really wants revenge. But I didn't expect that he wouldn't take revenge on Mu Shuang, but on me. He even intercepted me at the foot of the mountain. This plan can be considered flawless. At least it won't be seen by the guests and friends attending Peng Shaolong's engagement party tonight, and it won't be seen by me and Mu Shuang that it was Li Zheng who ordered it. It's a pity that I heard such a good plan. He can only draw water with a sieve!
Li Ruixin's mind raced. He had already thought of several ways to break Li Zheng's scheme, but he didn't think too much about it for now. He had to save Mu Shuang first.
When he ran to the washroom door, a cleaning lady happened to be wiping the floor at the door. Li Rui smiled and thought that this was just right. He didn't have to "break into the ladies' room at night." He went forward and handed the stack of tissues to the cleaning lady, explained the reason, and thanked her. The cleaning lady waved her hand to indicate that he didn't have to be so polite. She turned and walked into the ladies' room.
Two minutes later, Mu Shuang rubbed her butt and walked out in a very unladylike manner. When she saw Li Rui standing outside the door, she groaned and said, "Did you go to the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to look for tissues? You were gone for so long. My butt hurts from sitting there! "
Li Rui didn't intend to tell her the reason for the delay in case she was worried or angry. He smiled and said, "You're blaming me? Since you came to the washroom, why didn't you bring good tissues? "
"I thought the washrooms here would have their own tissues. Who knew that I ran out of tissues in my cubicle …"
Li Rui could imagine her awkwardness and panic when she realized that there was no tissue in her cubicle. He smiled and said, "I wanted to spank you, but since your butt hurts from sitting, I'll let you off the hook." With that, he walked toward the banquet hall.
Mu Shuang followed him and asked curiously, "Why did you want to spank my butt?" After saying that, she realized that he wasn't saying anything nice. She smiled and raised her hand to hit his arm.
Li Rui said, "Shouldn't you have hit me? I've already emphasized to you not to use me as a shield, but you still used me to block Li Zheng. "
Mu Shuang giggled and said, "You're my friend and the only man by my side. If I don't use you as a shield, who should I use? You still have the nerve to blame me? Actually, you should have taken the initiative to block Li Zheng for me. I didn't need to use you at all. " As she said that, she suddenly realized something. She looked at him charmingly and said, "It's fine for you to use this as an excuse to hit me, but why did you choose to hit my butt and not other parts of my body? Hmph, I thought you were a gentleman, but it turns out that you're also a pervert! "
Li Rui grabbed his hand and said, "It feels good to hit your butt, so it won't hurt too much. If I hit other parts of your body, either you or my hand will hurt."
"Pfft!"
Mu Shuang couldn't help but burst out laughing. She raised her hand to hit his butt and said, "I just realized that you're actually a bad person too!"
Li Rui smiled and pushed away her arm that was about to hit him again. He said, "Alright, alright, let's stop joking … Let me ask you a question. I just thought about it. Your cousin's engagement is such a big event, but why didn't your father come? Only you, the younger generation, came?"
