After Li Rui walked to the side of the road, he felt that the cold wind was really strong. Subconsciously, he raised the collar of his coat to protect his neck. Looking at the withered leaves drifting away in the night sky, he thought of Li Xiaona, his former cousin, who was now his younger sister. Wasn't her life experience and experience just like this fallen leaf? She was born and grew up in the tree, but one day, she left the tree's embrace and became homeless. She flew further and further away in the cold wind and night, and finally fell into the boundless world. No one would care about whether this pitiful fallen leaf was dead or alive. It didn't matter whether it lived or died in the world … Of course, compared to the fallen leaf, she was luckier, because at least she still had him to care about her. However, he was also a little hesitant in his heart. Was it because he pitied her life experience, or had he unconsciously been bewitched by her beauty that he decided to help her?
There was no doubt that he pitied her life experience. It was no exaggeration to say that his blood flowed with the chivalrous spirit of the ancient chivalrous heroes who helped the weak and helped the strong. Not to mention his former cousin, he was even willing to help Lu Zhouxing and Bai Bing, two strangers on a stormy night, let alone Li Xiaona, who used to be his uncle and niece.
There were probably a few who were bewitched by her beauty. When he first saw her, although he found her beautiful, he didn't take it to heart. It wasn't until the Municipal Party Committee held a banquet that he found her unparalleled beauty after makeup. But at that time, they were still uncle and niece, so even if he thought she was beautiful, he didn't dare to have any evil thoughts about her. But all of a sudden, the tables had turned. This pretty niece of his had suddenly transformed into someone with a different surname. There was only a difference in age between them, and they weren't related by blood. After understanding this, it was impossible for him not to have a good impression of her …
Thinking of this, he suddenly sneered and scolded himself for being a beast. Although he was no longer related to Li Xiaona by blood, they had been uncle and niece for a long time. How could he not regard her as a niece just because he said so? It was just like Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." After learning that they were half-siblings, they began to call each other brother and sister. But when they finally realized the truth that they were not siblings, could they immediately turn into a couple and start whispering sweet nothings to each other again? Surely not. The most difficult part of this was not making intimate gestures, but breaking through the established sense of kinship in one's heart.
While thinking, Li Rui suddenly raised his hand and gently slapped himself in the face, saying in his heart, "You're really a beast. Li Xiaona is at the peak of her grief. It's fine if you don't care about her, but why do you keep thinking about these messy and indecent things?" You still have the nerve to call yourself her brother?
He flagged down a taxi and drove home. Although it would save him time and effort to spend the night in a hotel, it was better to go home and sleep soundly.
When he went back to the neighborhood and passed by Unit 1, Li Rui suddenly realized that Dong Jieyu's house was still lit up at this late hour. Was she still awake? His heart skipped a beat. Instead of going home, he turned around and went into Unit 1.
After the doorbell rang, the door opened quickly. Dong Jieyu, who was wearing plain white cotton pajamas, stood calmly on the floor inside the door. Her long wet hair told Li Rui that she had just taken a shower.
Li Rui only wanted to ask, "Why are you still awake?" Then he would go home and sleep. Who knew that Dong Jieyu would turn around and walk into the living room? Obviously, she wanted him to go in and talk. Li Rui smiled bitterly and was speechless. He could only walk in. Once he entered the house, it wasn't appropriate to talk with the door open, so he could only close the door.
After he entered the house, Dong Jieyu lightly said, "I just finished mopping the floor. Change into slippers." So Li Rui could only smile bitterly again. He took off his leather shoes and changed into slippers. In this way, he was in a situation where he had entered a higher level, so how could he easily withdraw?
He walked into the living room and put his briefcase on the sofa. He looked at Dong Jieyu who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" Dong Jieyu frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I can't sleep tonight. Speaking of which, it's really strange. I didn't drink a cup of coffee or a cup of tea during the day." Li Rui said, "I was wondering why you were mopping the floor in the middle of the night. It turns out you couldn't sleep." He sat down next to her. Dong Jieyu sat further in to make some space for him. Li Rui said, "I don't have any other intentions. I just came over to ask you why you're still awake at this time."
Dong Jieyu didn't answer his question. She turned her head to look at him and asked, "What happened to your niece Li Xiaona?" Li Rui sighed and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words." Dong Jieyu rubbed her hair with her hands to dry it faster and said, "If it's hard to explain in a few words, then I'll say ten sentences. If I can't finish in ten sentences, then I'll say a hundred or a thousand sentences." Li Ruiqi asked strangely, "Why don't you use a hair dryer?" Dong Jieyu lightly said, "The hair dryer destroys my hair. I dry it naturally." Li Rui nodded. He thought that since she asked, he might as well tell her about Li Xiaona's incident. After all, she wasn't an outsider, and she wasn't a gossipy person. He didn't have to worry about her leaking this kind of insider information. He then told her about Li Xiaona's tragedy from beginning to end.
Dong Jieyu was stunned after listening. After a while, she said, "Li Xiaona's mother is really something. How could she do such a thing?" Li Rui sighed and said, "Who said she wasn't? I used to think that Liu Liping was despicable enough. I didn't think that there was a woman more despicable than her. It's fortunate that this matter didn't fall on my head. " Dong Jieyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're not an idiot. When your wife got pregnant, when she gave birth, and how long was the interval in between, don't you know?" Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Men shouldn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing. Besides, when a wife gets pregnant, if she doesn't say it herself, a man won't know. The difference can be as big as the interval between two periods. It can be as big as a month or more than twenty days. "
Dong Jieyu felt that this made sense. She nodded and sighed, "Whoever has such a wife is really unlucky for eight lifetimes." Li Rui said, "That's right. I always pity Xiaona. Actually, her adoptive father, Li Fucai, is even more pitiful. He raised someone else's daughter for more than twenty years for nothing. In the end, he didn't have any children. How is he going to retire in the future?" Dong Jieyu said, "Then Li Xiaona isn't your niece?" Li Rui said, "En, not anymore. But I feel that she's very pitiful. I've already recognized her as my little sister." Dong Jieyu looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "You're really protective of the fairer sex." Li Rui couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you mean? Even though she's not my blood related niece, I still see her as family. "
Dong Jieyu suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, saying, "That's strange. I feel sleepy as soon as you come." Li Rui asked, "You want to sleep?" Dong Jieyu's beautiful eyes focused on his face and said, "En, I want to. You go …" Li Rui got up and said, "Then I'll leave. You go to sleep." Dong Jieyu's beautiful face immediately showed an expression of embarrassment and disbelief. She glared hatefully at him but didn't say anything. She stood up and said unhappily, "Then get lost!" Li Rui turned around and walked towards the door, saying, "Ai, the two sessions are about to start. I'll be busy for a while." As he said this, he had already walked to the shoe cabinet and changed into his leather shoes. He didn't even turn his head as he said, "I'm leaving. You go to sleep. Good night, don't send me off." He opened the door and walked out.
Dong Jieyu angrily watched as he closed the door and left. She didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. After a while, she said to herself, "This guy really doesn't understand romance!" She then said, "I just wanted to say 'You go take a shower' and didn't have time to finish it. Damn it!"
Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang. She was surprised and happy. She immediately rushed to the door and opened it wide. When she looked outside, who else could it be but Li Rui? She happily said, "You're back?"
Li Rui walked into the room and left the door ajar. He didn't notice the surprised and shy expression on her face and asked in a low voice, "I forgot to ask you something. If I want to release Liu Liping from the labor camp now, is there a problem?" Dong Jieyu's face immediately darkened. She impatiently said, "Are you tired of living a peaceful life and want to find some trouble?" Li Rui chuckled and said, "I'm also worried that releasing her would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountains. But her whole family keeps coming to harass me. I'm already tired of it." Dong Jieyu lightly said, "Let them do what they want. I don't believe that they can see you every time. You're such a busy person. "Li Rui nodded and said," Then I'm fine. I'm leaving. "Dong Jieyu stared at his back and watched him leave. She didn't stop him from leaving.
The next morning, Li Rui received a call from Lin Yali after he went to work. Lin Yali asked him to call the manager of the BMW 4S store "Qing Bao" as soon as possible so that she could bring her sister Lin Yafei to buy a car.
After receiving this call, Li Rui didn't dare to delay and immediately called the manager.
The manager's surname was Liao and his name was Liao Jin. Not only did Li Rui know him, he also formed a "friendship" with him when he smashed "Qing Bao" at another BMW 4S store "Xuan Zhibao". That was why he had the nerve to ask him to give Lin Yali more discounts.
After Liao Jin received Li Rui's call and heard him explain the situation, he quickly understood. Even though he understood, he was a bit worried. He didn't know how much discount to give him.
