After breakfast at the Smiths.
Su Changqing and Su Yao began to help Lin Rui clean and repair the old house.
Su Changqing specially called over a few workmates from his factory.
The old house had not been lived in for too long and lacked maintenance. Some parts of the wall had already peeled off.
Some parts of the floor needed to be replaced, and some parts of the bathroom and kitchen needed to be repaired.
Therefore, the amount of work required was not small.
It would probably take two to three days to repair and clean.
Because of the partial repainting, it still needed to be dried for about a week, so Lin Rui had to continue to stay at Su Yao's house for the next few days.
Su Yao's house was only a two-bedroom apartment. Last night, Lin Rui temporarily slept in the living room. After Su Yao told Su Changqing about this in the morning, Su Changqing kept blaming himself for not arranging it well.
Then, Su Changqing decided at the last minute to add a bed in Su Yao's room and let Lin Rui and Su Yao stay in the same room.
Lin Rui did not quite understand Su Changqing's arrangement.
However, Su Yao understood very well.
Moreover, Su Yao did not object.
In fact, a long time ago, Su Changqing had told Su Yao that if she found Lin Rui in the future and the two of them were not married, she would marry him. This way, the father and daughter could make up for what had happened back then.
Although Su Yao had no impression of the long-lost Lin Rui, she had been imagining Lin Rui's appearance in her dreams every day since she was thirteen.
In the past six or seven years, Lin Rui had been living her life, even though he had not participated in it.
This was also the reason why Su Yao, the school belle of the School of Finance and Economics, had never been in a relationship. It was not that no one pursued her, but that someone had always lived in her heart and she had never accepted anyone's pursuit.
At around ten in the morning, the cleaning of the house was in full swing.
Su Yao and Lin Rui were also busy with their own matters.
At this moment, two unfriendly figures appeared outside the door.
"May I ask if Mr. Lin Rui lives here?”
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Beside him stood a bodyguard in a black suit.
Lin Rui and Su Yao, who were cleaning the living room, looked up at the person outside the door.
Lin Rui had almost guessed their identities.
Lin Rui wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked straight to the door.
"I'm Lin Rui, who's the second seat? What's the matter?”
Su Yao looked at the unfriendly looks of these two people and hurriedly went to her room to call Su Changqing and his colleagues out.
"Hello, Lin Rui. I'm Xu Si, the butler and assistant of Mr. Xu Haonian, the chairman of Wanfeng International. I came to see you today because Mr. Xu wants me to convey something to you.”
Lin Rui's expression was calm. The facts proved that his guess was right. These two people were indeed sent by Xu Haonian.
As for what Xu Haonian had sent these two people to convey to him, Lin Rui could basically guess.
At this moment, Su Changqing and Su Yao rushed to the door.
They already knew that these two people were sent by Qin Meilan's current husband, Xu Haonian.
Therefore, Su Changqing and Su Yao's expressions were extremely furious.
Su Changqing held a brick knife in his hand and pointed angrily at Xu Si and the bodyguards outside the door.
"Hurry up and leave. You're not welcome here.”
The bodyguard's eyes widened as he cursed at Su Changqing,"Blind old thing, you think you can chase us away?”
Su Changqing was furious, and the other workers also picked up the weapons in their hands.
Xu Si immediately gave the bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard retreated behind Xu Si.
Xu Si smiled and waved his hand."If I'm not wrong, the two of you should be the father and daughter of the Su family, the survivors of the fire back then. Although this is the first time we've met, I'm not unfamiliar with the two of you. More than ten years ago, my old master chased my old master out of the house. Later, when he was sent to a machine factory here to experience life, I accompanied my old master to live with you for a year or two.”
"So everyone has to say that we are still old acquaintances. I don't have any ill intentions today, I just want to convey some words to Lin Rui on behalf of my master, so there's no need for you to be so hostile.”
What Xu Si said was true. Xu Haonian had met Qin Meilan and his father, Lin Juemin, in the equipment factory because his father had chased him out of the house.
"Housekeeper Xu, this place is under renovation. There's a teahouse downstairs. Let's go there and talk.”
Lin Rui was unwilling to let Su Changqing and Su Yao participate in this matter, so he looked at Xu Sidao calmly.
"That's for the best." Xu Si smiled.”
When Lin Rui was about to walk out of the door, Su Yao reached out and pulled him, gently shaking her head.
"Brother Lin Rui, don't go. They don't have good intentions.”
Su Changqing took off his work uniform and said,"Xiao Rui, Uncle Su will go with you.”
Lin Rui first reached out and patted the back of Su Yao's hand. Then, he said to Su Changqing,
"Uncle Su, it's okay. I just wanted to say a few words. I'll be back in a while. You guys go ahead and do your work. I happened to bring back a box of beer when I went downstairs. Isn't there no more beer at home?"”
Su Changqing and Su Yao had made up their minds. Although they were worried, they still watched him and Xu Si go downstairs.
They arrived at the small teahouse outside the neighborhood.
Xu Si quickly expressed his purpose of coming.
"Lin Rui, my master is not an unreasonable person. There is indeed a mother-son relationship between you and Madam, but don't forget that your mother remarried ten years ago, and you are now an adult. From a legal point of view, Madam no longer has any obligation to raise you.”
"It's not a bad thing for Madam to break up with you. Your mother now has her own family, a husband who loves her, and a cute little brother. There's no need for you to disturb her peaceful life.”
"The two of you are destined to belong to two different worlds. Even if you forcefully get together, the final result will be very bad. I know that you rejected the compensation fee of 10 million because you want more money.”
When Lin Rui heard this, he finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Xu Haonian thinks that I rejected his ten million yuan because I like money and want to continue extorting him?”
Xu Si blinked.
"Isn't that so? I've seen many young people like you who are eager for quick success and instant benefits. It's easy to understand why you want more money because you know your mother is very rich.”
"But your decision yesterday was too muddled. If you accepted the 10 million compensation yesterday, the money should have been transferred to your account by now. However, because of your rejection yesterday, my old master was angered, so he's not willing to pay you the 10 million compensation now.”
"In addition, my old master also asked me to inform you that he hopes that you will take the initiative to leave Shanghai within three days.”
Lin Rui sneered and shook his head.
"Xu Haonian is too confident in his own strength, right? His Wanfeng International was just a small plate. If someone really wanted to move their feet, this small plate would probably collapse in no time. Where did his confidence come from?”
