Lu Qingman was already confused. Seeing Li Rui's serious face after the phone call, she couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" Li Rui said, "Second Brother found out that the daughter he raised for more than 20 years is the child of his wife and another man. His wife has been having an affair behind his back." Lu Qingman opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Li Rui thought for a while, took out his phone and called Li Xiaona. Listening to Li Fucai's words, it seemed that he wanted to harm Zhu Fengying and Li Xiaona. It was fine if he wanted to harm Zhu Fengying. After all, he didn't have any friendship with her. He had no obligation to care about her life or death. However, he had to care about Li Xiaona. It didn't matter if she was his niece or not. For her obedience and his appreciation of her, he had to help her this time.
When Li Xiaona received the phone call, she was a little confused. She didn't know why he was looking for her. She said, "Uncle? You … "Li Rui wanted to persuade her to hide, but he didn't know how to say it. He was also worried that she wouldn't be able to accept the truth after learning the truth. However, he couldn't not say it because Li Fucai could find her at any time to take revenge on her. With his current impulsive and violent temper, he might even kill someone. He asked," Does your father know where you live? "Li Xiaona said," Yes, why? "
Li Rui looked at Lu Qingman and saw that she was looking at him eagerly. He pinched her smooth cheeks and said in a low voice, "Wait for me." Then he walked out with his phone and closed the door. He went to the living room to continue the call.
He said, "Go find Dong Jieyu or Li Xiaoyue immediately. Whoever you find, tell them that I told you not to go to work today or tomorrow. Ask them to find you a guest room in the hotel to stay temporarily. Don't go back to the dormitory to sleep. If they ask why, tell them to call me. " Before the two general managers asked her, Li Xiaona asked, "Why is that?" Li Rui hesitated and didn't want to tell her. Once he told her, it wouldn't hurt her, but he was afraid that his second brother, Li Fucai, would never be able to save his life. Although he didn't like this cousin of his, from the perspective of a relative, he didn't want to see the tragedy of his wife and daughter being separated. He said, "Don't ask."
Li Xiaona was very sensitive and asked, "Is it related to my father?" Li Rui said perfunctorily, "No, don't make wild guesses." Li Xiaona asked, "Then why did you ask my dad if he knew what my dorm was doing?" Li Rui said, "I was just asking casually." Li Xiaona said nervously, "It must be related. Uncle, tell me, did something happen?" Li Rui sighed secretly and said, "It's okay, hurry up and do as I say. You can't be late." Li Xiaona said stubbornly, "No, if you don't tell me why, I won't go." Li Rui said angrily, "You don't even want to listen to your uncle?" Li Xiaona said sadly, "I do, but why?" Li Rui scolded, "You have a hundred thousand whys? Just do what I tell you, cut the crap and go! "Li Xiaona was silent for a moment and said," You want me to hide from my father, right? What does he want to do to me? Just tell me the truth. "
Li Rui couldn't help but admire this girl's intelligence, but he could only deny it and said, "No, there's a big leader who likes you and wants to bully you. I knew about it in advance, so I told you to hide. As for why I asked about your father, it's because I want him to help you move. "Li Xiaona finally understood and said," So that's how it is? "Li Rui said," Yes, that's how it is. Go ahead, call me if you need anything. "Li Xiaona said," Thank you, uncle, for always protecting me. " Li Rui didn't feel anything when he heard her call him uncle before, but now he felt a little awkward and said, "You're welcome. We're family, there's no need to be so formal. Hurry up and go, I'm hanging up."
After he returned to the bedroom, he said to Lu Qingman with a bitter face, "Second Brother wants to take revenge on the mother and daughter. I just called Xiaona and told her to hide. Otherwise, if she finds out about this, Second Brother won't be able to redeem himself." Lu Qingman said curiously, "It's already like this, how do you want to redeem yourself?" Li Rui said, "This kind of family scandal can't be spread. If it gets out, we'll be the ones who lose face. Moreover, even if we make a ruckus and kill them, what benefit can we get? If you ask me, the wisest thing Second Brother can do now is to be a mute and pretend that he never knew about this. This way, the family can still be maintained and he can still have a filial daughter. Otherwise, hmph, his wife and daughter will really be separated, and his family will be torn apart. In the end, he won't have a good reputation. "
Lu Qingman thought about it and agreed. If this kind of thing was blown up, it wouldn't benefit anyone. It was better to suffer silently and pretend that nothing happened. That way, they could still barely maintain the family. When she thought of that unlucky man, she secretly sympathized with him. Her mood also sank and she couldn't say anything.
The husband and wife were originally in the midst of being affectionate, but they were suddenly disturbed by this matter. Naturally, they couldn't continue being affectionate. If they wanted to be affectionate, they could only wait until nighttime. Thus, they discussed going to look at the house again.
Coincidentally, Gao Zixuan's car was parked in the garage. The two of them didn't need to take a taxi this time and could just drive directly to her car.
When they were driving out, Li Rui joked with Lu Qingman, "Why don't we just take Miss Gao's car for ourselves? In the future, you can drive it to work at the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department. "Lu Qingman said," How can we do that? It's too high-profile. It won't be good for our father's reputation. " Li Rui nodded and said, "When you talk about being high-profile and low-key, I have some understanding. Listen to me, am I right?" Lu Qingman said, "Tell me." Li Rui said, "I thought of this from Heshen during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Think about it. He followed Qianlong for more than half of his life and was always a high-profile official. He was corrupt, took bribes, bullied people, and oppressed women. There was nothing he didn't dare to do, but still, nothing happened. After Qianlong fell and Jiaqing took over, he knew that he didn't see eye to eye with Jiaqing. He was afraid that Jiaqing would punish him, so he started to be low-key. But so what? Wasn't he still killed by Jiaqing? That's why there was the saying, 'When Heshen falls, Jiaqing is full.' "
Lu Qingman nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, what are you trying to say?" Li Rui said, "From this, I realized that it doesn't matter whether you are high-profile or low-key. It all depends on whether you have a backer or not. If there's someone at the top who supports and protects you, then no matter how high-profile you are, nothing will happen. On the contrary, if there's no one to protect you and you offend someone, you will be punished. Then no matter how low-key you are, you will still be exposed and you won't be able to escape. "Lu Qingman pursed her lips and smiled, saying," You don't say, it does make some sense. Why don't you tell our father this? "Li Rui said," I don't dare to tell him. I'm afraid that he will scold me. "Lu Qingman laughed and said," Then why are you telling me this? " Li Rui chuckled and said, "I want my beautiful wife to drive a car and get off work immediately. Wouldn't that make me look good?"
Lu Qingman teased him and said, "But even if I drive a car and get off work immediately, you won't be the one to buy it for me." Li Rui laughed and said, "I can buy one for you. We won't take advantage of Boss Gao." Lu Qingman said, "Then forget it. Save the money and save it for our son." Li Rui said, "You want a son again? Looks like I'll have to work harder tonight. " Lu Qingman smiled shyly and said, "I can't have one tonight. Let me eat folic acid for a few months first. Women need to eat enough folic acid before they get pregnant. Don't you know? "Li Rui said," I don't know. I don't have any experience with pregnancy. " Lu Qingman laughed and said, "I've already eaten it for a month. I should be able to eat it for another month. The book says that I can eat it for half a year. I think two months should be enough. If I wait any longer, the side effects of my old age will outweigh the benefits of the folic acid. "
The two of them talked about pregnancy and childbirth. They were very agreeable and talked non-stop. If they didn't have the task of looking at houses, the two of them would have talked endlessly.
North District, South District, High District … as long as it was a location near the city center, the two of them went to all the sales offices. They basically didn't see anything suitable.
In the end, Li Rui said, "If there's no other way, then don't buy it. Not to mention that I still have a house in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau that I haven't bought yet. The Municipal Party Committee has also secretly set up a welfare house. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to get a spot in the future. That's two houses. Including the one at home, that's three houses. What's the point of buying more? "Lu Qingman said," Didn't the government forbid us from building welfare houses? "Li Rui said," You still don't know about the situation in the country. The government has policies, and the government has countermeasures. That's right, the government has repeatedly forbade us from building more houses. However, we can build them secretly. To the government, we can say that it's a welfare house, but to the public, we can say that it's a self-purchased collective apartment. Who can investigate this? Who would dare to complain about this? Whoever dares to go against the government, doesn't that mean they don't want to live anymore? " Lu Qingman laughed and said, "If you can really get this spot, then you really don't need to buy anymore. Let's go home."
Li Rui had heard about the welfare house from the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee from Ling Shuyao. It was a pity that he had joined the Municipal Party Committee late and didn't catch up with the distribution of this batch of quotas. However, according to estimates, there should be a second and third batch of quotas. When the time comes, with his identity as the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it should be a piece of cake for him to get a quota.
