As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, a woman stood up from the sofa and called, "Han Rui."

is her?Han Rui's heart sank, he turned around slowly, and looked towards the sofa area.

How did she come?

The woman was wearing a bare-chested skirt and her hair was permed in big waves. She walked over with a smile, "What? Don't you know your mother?"

Han Rui didn't want to get close to her, so he just sighed, "What's the matter, go up and talk about it!"

Although this woman was his mother, they had only met three times before, and just these three times, this woman asked him for money every time.

After the woman entered the room, she lit a cigarette and said after puffing, "Are you going to Gu's family for a banquet?"

Han Rui opened a bottle of water for her, and removed the cigarette from her hand, "Smoking is bad for your health!"

The woman smiled, "I'm really not in good health! I'm just waiting for my son to be filial!"

really!

Han Rui put the cigarette in the ashtray and pressed it out, and asked calmly, "How much do you want this time?"

The woman stretched out a hand and shook it, Han Rui frowned, "50?"

The woman snorted and said, "What can 50 do? I want 500 million."

Han Rui also smiled, "Do you think I have 500 million?"

The woman didn't care at all, "You don't have any, you can ask Gu Chengjun for it!"

Han Rui stared at the woman's face for a while before saying, "It's such a hot day, drink some water first!"

After the woman drank the water, she took out the mirror and looked at it again, "Look, mom is getting old too, she even has gray hair, and she won't be able to enjoy the blessing for a few days. It's only 500 million, which is a drop in the bucket for Gu Chengjun."

Han Rui stepped forward and asked, "Where is the white hair? Pull it out for you! You are so beautiful, how much white hair affects your appearance!"

The woman giggled and pointed at her temples, "It's right here! I just pulled it out this morning, but now it seems that there are a few more. I don't know what's going on, I'm not old! I had it a few years ago. My hair is starting to grow gray, I'm so sad!"

Han Rui echoed, "Maybe it's the baldness! I heard that the baldness will be inherited, maybe I will be like this in a few years."

The woman froze immediately and smiled unnaturally.

Han Rui pulled out those white hairs, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "You go back first! I will find a way about the money."

The woman immediately smiled, "What a good son! Mom is waiting for your good news!"

After the woman left, Han Rui stuffed those white hairs into a clean envelope, put the bottle of water she just drank in a bag, and then sat on the bed in a daze.

It didn't take long for the mobile phone to ring. As soon as Han Rui connected, the other end of the phone said, "Han Rui, I'm Cheng Peng. Where do you live? I'll pick you up."

Han Rui thought for a while before remembering that he promised Cheng Peng in the morning to make another appointment, so he said, "I'll send you the location later."

Just after taking a shower, the doorbell rang.Han Rui wiped his body, put on a T-shirt and shorts, and went to open the door.

Cheng Peng wiped his sweat and said as he walked into the house, "This damn weather is really too hot."

Han Rui took a towel and sat on the bed with his head down, wiping his hair, revealing his beautiful and fair neck.

Cheng Peng asked, "Did you just take a shower?"

"Yes! What's the matter?"

"Nothing!" Cheng Peng swallowed, and said with an unnatural expression, "Let's go!"

The two went downstairs and went directly to Lotus Road by car.

When they got there, they parked the car. Cheng Peng led Han Rui to a crayfish shop, but he didn't go in. He pointed to the table outside and said, "Crayfish must be eaten at this kind of food stall, and it will be exciting with beer! "

At this time, although the sun had almost set, the temperature outside was still very high.However, the shop owner sprinkled water on the ground, and there is an electric fan, so the heat is not unbearable.Besides, eating was not Han Rui's goal this time, so he smiled and sat down.

Cheng Peng ordered two large bowls of super spicy crayfish and [-] bottles of cold beer, and then said with a smile, "The crayfish here is a must, spicy enough and refreshing! I have to eat it every time I go back to City C."

The boss quickly delivered the beer. Han Rui opened a bottle, handed it to Cheng Peng, and asked, "Don't you live in C City?"

Cheng Peng took the wine bottle with a smile, "I work in City S, and I only go back to City C when my mother tells me about it. Anyway, there is a high-speed rail, so the round trip is very fast!"

"You go to work in S City, your parents are willing?"

"Of course my mother doesn't want to." Cheng Peng took a big gulp of beer, "but that's what my father meant. City S is a big international city, and staying there for a few years is more promising than being in a small place like City C. And , Isn’t my uncle in City S? His brother-in-law is still the head of our bureau! Someone is watching, so my mother has nothing to worry about.”

After finishing speaking, he also opened a bottle for Han Rui, "Today we are one and a half! If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

After they finished drinking a bottle, the crayfish were also brought to the table. Cheng Peng, wearing gloves, peeled off one and handed it to Han Rui's mouth, "Try it, it's delicious!"

Han Rui quickly took it with his hands and tasted it. It was indeed spicy, but it was also delicious.

Cheng Peng ate several times before stopping, took a sip of beer and said, "Why are you arguing at Gu's house today?"

Seeing Han Rui's bewildered expression, he continued, "I'm sitting diagonally across from you at Mrs. Gu's birthday party today. Although I don't understand what you're arguing about, the scene was quite chaotic."

It turned out that Cheng Peng also went to the birthday banquet!He also saw the quarrel, Han Rui felt a little embarrassed, so he said with a smile, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

"Well! I agree with this," Cheng Peng nodded, "I really didn't expect to see you at the birthday banquet. It is said that Mrs. Gu doesn't want to see the Han family, and it doesn't seem to be true."

The old lady didn't want to see the Han family, probably after she knew that Gu Chengjun was getting involved with him!

Han Rui recalled the past, the old lady was nice to the Han family in the past.Back then, Dad Han’s unit couldn’t survive, and Dad Han, the deputy general manager, was forced to retire early, let alone an ordinary employee like Aunt Sun, who was dismissed after the unit paid 5000 yuan.

After the old lady found out, she asked Dad Han to go to S City and arrange a position as a warehouse supervisor in Gu Chengjun's branch.Seeing that Han Rui was not well received by the Han family, he was sent to the imperial capital, Gu Chengjun.

At that time, Gu Chengjun had just divorced his ex-wife, and Xiao Zhe was only one year old.What the old lady meant was that since Gu Chengjun's family has a nanny, it doesn't matter if there is one more Han Rui, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks.Moreover, they are all 12-year-old children, and they can also take care of and accompany their younger brothers.

Han Rui hadn't understood before, since he was worried about the little grandson, why didn't the grandmother, the old lady, take care of it herself, but let him, a half-old child, come?

However, thinking about it now, the old lady dotes on her grandson Zhang Yu so much, and doesn't want to see Xiao Zhe's mother, so of course she doesn't want to take care of her herself.

It's just that the good intentions of the old lady at the time have hurt both sides now.He, Han Rui, lived a life that was worse than death, with no dignity being suppressed.And the old lady also wished that he, a vixen, would die.

"Since the Gu family treats you well, why doesn't your elder brother go directly to Gu Chengjun? Gu Chengjun's words are much more useful than mine. I have to find my uncle, and my uncle has to go to his brother-in-law. It's a waste of time and money. Money!" Cheng Peng said while eating without waiting for Han Rui's reaction.

How can big brother get in touch with Gu Chengjun?Han Rui sighed inwardly. The old lady was indeed kind to the Han family before, but Gu Chengjun was not. The relatives who were so far away were at most a little bit nicer to Father Han, but he didn't pay much attention to the other Han family members.

The two of them talked about primary school again, and Cheng Peng said with a smile, "It's good for you to study since you were young. You used to be the first in your class every time, and I was the last one. You see, you are now a top student at the University of Cambridge in England, and what about me?" My high school grades were terrible, and my dad sent me to the police academy after graduation.”

"I'm not from Cambridge University," Han Rui explained, "I'm from Imperial College of Technology."

He wondered, not only Cambridge and Oxford are the only two famous schools in the UK, why do you only think of Cambridge University when you mention the UK in China?

Cheng Peng was taken aback, "It's also British?"

Han Rui nodded, and Cheng Peng said "hehe" a few times, "That's really amazing."

He quickly changed the subject again, "You were like a doormat when you were young. You didn't wear much clothes in winter, and you were always covered in bruises. We all brought biscuits and something to eat, but you didn't have anything."

Han Rui really didn't have much impression of these things, so he said casually, "So you are so sympathetic, so you gave me the food?"

Cheng Peng was stunned, and it took a long time before he said awkwardly, "I... I was a mess when I was young, I was not very sensible, I... I bullied you with them."

Han Rui, "..."

Seeing that Cheng Peng was so enthusiastic about him before, I thought they had such a good relationship when they were in elementary school!Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this!

Seeing that Han Rui was silent, Cheng Peng quickly put down the crayfish in his hand, sat up straight and said, "I apologize to you for what happened in the past."

Han Rui shook his head, "There is no need to mention the past."

Cheng Peng laughed immediately, patted his chest and said, "Okay, don't mention it again! Han Rui, if you have anything to do in the future, feel free to ask me, buddy, it will definitely be obligatory."

Han Rui smiled, "I really need your help with something."

It was past twelve o'clock when we returned to the hotel. As soon as Han Rui took a shower, Gu Chengjun opened the door and came in. He staggered to the bed, threw the room card away, and lay down on the bed.

Han Rui stood at the door of the bathroom for a long time, and walked out when he heard the snoring.

Gu Chengjun was lying on his back, breathing with his mouth open, probably because he drank too much alcohol, his face was flushed.

Han Rui sighed. In fact, this person is not easy. Although he is rich, everyone is staring at his money.

On the old lady's birthday, so many city leaders came here, and they seemed to have a good reputation. Isn't it because they want him to invest in building this building?

As for Aunt Sun, there are not a few who want their children to find a job in Gu's company.
