A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 536: Everyone’s Ending (V)

The children of Li Xiang’s relatives and friends have always had deep and fond memories of their family.

When we grew up, when we gathered as children, we would talk about our childhood in this yard with beautiful smiles on our faces as we recalled the memories.

What does Li Xiang’s yard represent to the children?

It is a candy house with endless delicious food and an amusement park with countless novel toys.

There are knowledgeable dads out there who can answer all of their kids’ questions.

There are gentle and caring mothers who only speak softly to their children.

There is a kind and compassionate grandmother who can fulfill all the children's wishes.

"Except for you being a bit of an eyesore, everything else in your home is perfect. It's like heaven." Sun Xiaofang commented, pointing at Li Rui while holding a women's cigarette in her hand.

"I'm an eyesore? Sister Fang, I didn't provoke you, why do you say that?" Li Rui widened his eyes and pointed at himself.

Sun Xiaofang dusted off the ash in her hand, glanced at him lightly, and said calmly: "You don't have to do anything wrong. Being the child of your godfather and godmother is a mistake in itself. Ask everyone around you, who didn't want to replace you when they were little?"

Her words elicited nods from the others, who thought to themselves that they had not only thought about it when they were children, but they still thought about it occasionally now.

What good deeds did this brat do in his previous life to be born into such a family in this life.

Li Rui responded to everyone's unconcealed envy with a grin, scratched the back of his head, and said in a somewhat mean way: "My parents are just a little more open-minded, a little more powerful, and a little richer. My uncles and aunts are not bad either."

"Sister, does my brother Rui deserve to be beaten for being like this?" Sun Xiaoan approached his sister and asked in a low voice.

However, what he got in return was a cold stare from his sister, who didn't even glance at him.

Sun Xiaoan, who failed to stir up trouble, immediately turned around and acted as obediently as a quail.

Although he is an adult, his sister's intimidation still remains in his heart.

As his father said, as long as your sister sheds a tear, I don't care whether you are right or wrong, I will beat you up anyway, and you can't escape from me.

From then on, Sun Xiaoan, who was a man of insight and wisdom, became his sister's most loyal servant.

At this time, his girlfriend, who was Li Rui's cousin, also said to him, "What did my brother do to you? You've been secretly complaining about me all day long."

The two grew up in the same compound and were both boyfriend and girlfriend as well as childhood sweethearts.

Gao Yinghua's tone towards Sun Xiaoan was not only based on their childhood friendship, but also showed the confidence that the two families were of equal status.

"This is just a joke." Sun Xiaoan touched his nose awkwardly.

It seems that he is not only afraid of his sister, but also afraid of his girlfriend.

Chuckling, Sun Xiaohong looked at his second brother's frustrated look and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sun Xiaoan looked dissatisfied and immediately glared at him.

There was a warning in his eyes, as if to say: "Little guy, if I can't handle them, can I handle you?"

Sun Xiaohong, who is at the bottom of the food chain of the Sun family, behaved in the same way as his brother did before and demonstrated on the spot what it means to be as quiet as a chicken.

Don’t be fooled by a table full of children speaking childish words, but if anyone really treats them as children, he is really blind.

The worst foundation among those present here is at least second generation.

Not to mention families like the Sun family and the Gao family, which have a solid foundation for four generations.

These two companies are already giants in their respective fields. Judging from their recent developments, there seem to be signs of a marriage. If they are to cooperate in certain areas, there will be no room for others to interfere.

The others looked at him and their eyes finally stopped on Li Rui.

If we really talk about it, only this prince has this ability.

There are many princes in the world nowadays. If they are thick-skinned, they will dare to pick one out in a city.

But if we talk about which area has the most value, it has to be the J circle.

If someone else comes out and becomes a big shot, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and complain that the person who made it is not worthy.

Although Li Rui himself felt that this statement was too childish, he had already been given this obscure name when he was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Speaking of the strength of his own family, it's not that there are no peers comparable to him, but after all, he's not yet at the top.

But to be honest, this kid's family has really extraordinary connections.

His uncle was doing very well in the J department, and his speed of promotion was jokingly said to be only as fast as a rocket launch.

Let’s talk about his aunt’s family. The Gao family is a very powerful family. The relationships formed through marriages between the second and third generations are now rooted in all walks of life like a spider web.

Even as the third-generation heirs, Mr. and Mrs. Gao Weicheng have not yet climbed to the core level because they have not performed particularly well in their careers.

But the fourth generation of the Gao family has grown up. Both the eldest daughter Gao Yinghua and the second son Gao Yingjie have shown extraordinary talent in their sense of smell.

Everyone believes that with the support of their elders at home, they will be able to reach heights that their parents have not yet reached.

Then his attention shifted to the three children of the Sun family.

Ordinary people use the phrase "shitty luck" to describe good fortune.

To them, the Sun family is clearly the representative of those who have been lucky.

The curse of single-generation inheritance was actually broken in this generation.

Two were not enough, so before the family planning policy was implemented, another child, Sun Xiaohong, was added.

Don’t look at these three. They are not good-looking and have inherited the dark skin that is the iron mark of the Sun family, a bad gene that several generations of beauties have been unable to change.

Although her outward beauty is not obvious, her inner beauty is not lacking.

They look like honest and simple people, but they are actually very cunning and sly.

There is no one in the same compound who has not suffered at the hands of his three siblings.

Now, as the eldest child in the family, Sun Xiaofang has followed in his father's footsteps and entered the track of supervision.

The remaining two younger ones are still in school, one studying liberal arts and the other science. . . . . .

It’s easy for those who study liberal arts, but for those who study science, are they preparing to become the disciple of their father’s best friend in the future?

Thinking of this, the man's gaze fell back on Li Rui.

At this time, there was a person next to Li Rui who was talking to him with his arm around his shoulder, and several other people were sitting or standing around with smiles on their faces, listening to their conversation.

I guess these are the children of Li Rui’s father’s good friends.

They have a really good relationship. Even after being apart for so many years, they still visit each other so often.

The man drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then stood up and walked towards the group of people.

His father was right. It is not shameful to bend down when asking for something. Sometimes self-esteem is the least valuable thing.

Just think about it, these people can bring him, the editor-in-chief's son, to play together, which is already a great favor to them.

If he still acts like a noble person without knowing what's good for him, then he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

The Yu family finally had a glimmer of hope for revival, and neither he nor his father would allow the opportunity to slip away again. Li Rui was talking to Uncle Jianguo's son, and there were other uncles' children beside him, echoing one another, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Suddenly he felt that there was another person next to him. This person didn't say anything, just stood there.

However, Li Rui did not think much about it until he had almost finished talking about the topic at hand, then he turned around and took a look.

The man seemed to be waiting for this moment at any time. When he saw him turning his head, he quickly raised the glass in his hand and toasted him.

Li Rui smiled. He knew this person. Although he didn't have a strong relationship with him, his father had asked him to bring him along to some gatherings.

He returned the greeting and then introduced the two sides to each other, some of whom were meeting for the first time.

"This is Uncle Wang Kaixuan's elder sister."

"That's Uncle Lin Guodong's younger brother."

"The one at the edge is Uncle Xu Wei's sister."

Everyone who was called nodded and smiled. At the end of the introduction, Li Rui revealed the person's identity.

"This is the son of Uncle Yu Zhiyuan. Logically, I should call him brother, right? My dad told me that you are a few months younger than me." Li Rui confirmed with him.

Yu Jianxiu quickly smiled back and said yes.

Afterwards, Li Rui briefly mentioned the work of him and his son.

The eyes of those who were just introduced immediately became playful.

No wonder he can appear in this occasion, he is the mouthpiece.

In the information age, it is very important to have a voice that belongs to your own camp.

Yu Jianxiu kept a very humble attitude, and these people were not the type to deliberately make things difficult for him.

After a few words, the two sides seemed to have become friends who had not seen each other for many years and seemed very familiar with each other.

Of course, there is a desire on both sides to exploit each other, but more importantly, the conflicts among their parents at that time were not passed on to the next generation.

But it's true, although things were very fierce at that time, time has passed and when I think back on those so-called conflicts,

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like it's some kind of hatred that cannot be resolved.

While the fight was going on here, Li Rui, who had just withdrawn from the social interaction, sat back next to his cousin with a glass of juice.

"Brother, where did my uncle go this time? When will he come back? I haven't seen him for a few days and I miss him a little." Gao Yingjie asked him.

Hearing him ask this, Sun Xiaohong also turned around with a questioning look on his face.

It's really strange. The girls are fine as long as Li Xiang's children are friends and relatives, but the boys have shining eyes when they look at him since they were young.

I don’t know where this so-called worship came from.

It’s probably not because of his achievements. After all, these kids loved to hang around him when they were little.

As his father's number one fan, Li Rui naturally knows his movements very well.

As long as he was allowed to disclose the itinerary, there was nothing he didn't know.

Other children would always ask about their dad when they got home, but he was different. Sometimes his family couldn’t find Li Xiang and had to ask him.

"I'm going to catch my uncle." The expression on Li Rui's face is hard to describe.

"Uncle? Why are you arresting him?" Gao Yingjie looked puzzled.

"Didn't my aunt tell you? My uncle didn't dare to answer my dad's call, so my dad went straight to him in a rage."

Gao Yingjie shook his head, indicating that his mother had never mentioned it.

"My dad didn't say anything. And then, it's been almost a month. Even if he was arrested, he should have come back." Sun Xiaohong leaned his head closer, anxious to know why.

"Oh, don't you think about it? What does my uncle do? It's the army, but it's also half a research institute. My dad going there is like throwing meat buns at a dog and never coming back." Li Rui picked up the juice, took a sip, and said with a sigh.

Sun Xiaohong and Gao Yingjie, two childhood friends who were born in the same year, looked at each other and couldn't help but get goose bumps on their bodies.

The history of Department J's coveting this person can be traced back more than ten or twenty years.

It can be said that the means used were extremely unscrupulous.

They knew all the anecdotes that happened during this period well when they were still little.

Gao Yingjie swallowed and looked at his cousin.

"Can my uncle come back?"

With a snap, a slap hit the back of his head.

"Use your tiny brain to think about it, is it possible? My uncle has such a high status, it's not easy for him to keep people there. Besides, even if my uncle is willing, will we be willing?" Gao Yinghua couldn't bear to see his younger brother doing stupid things.

With such a character, he still has the nerve to be called the twin heroes of the Gao family together with her.

Look at the way it whimpers after being hit, it should be called a baby

If there were elders present, they would realize that Gao Yinghua's manner of scolding her brother was inherited from her mother.

When his childhood friend was beaten, Sun Xiaohong touched the back of his head as if he felt the same pain, then quietly turned his body back which had just been about to turn around.

"Sister, can you give me some face outside?" Gao Yingjie begged.

Gao Yinghua coughed dryly and glanced at the curious eyes looking at him from all around, realizing that he had acted too recklessly just now.

It's the same as teaching your son in front of him and scolding your wife behind his back. Some face should still be saved for your stupid brother.

But knowing that she is wrong doesn't mean she will admit it.

She used the method she used to coax her brother when she was a child. She pretended to touch the place where he had just been hit twice in the air, and that was their way out.

Li Rui looked at his cousin who only cared about food and not beatings, and the saying "nephew is like uncle" popped into his mind.

As for which uncle Gao Yingjie, the nephew, looks like, there is no need to say more.

The group ate and drank until the early morning before dispersing.

As the organizer of the party, Li Rui did not show off his power or do anything inappropriate like leading others to leave.

It is precisely because of his humble and cautious attitude that he has always had a good reputation in the red circle.

After seeing off his last friend, he got into the back seat of his car.

There was not only a driver in the car, but his personal secretary was also on standby in the passenger seat.

He quickly flipped through the document handed to him by the secretary, then nodded with satisfaction.

There are many purposes for a party, and people like them like to achieve multiple purposes at one party.

It's nice to eat and drink here and do business there without interrupting either.
