The dinner was held among six people, with Zhao Wuji sitting at the head of the table, followed by Zhao Qicheng, Zhao Ruyi, Uncle Liu, Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang.
Uncle Liu's position in the Zhao family's outside company may not be as good as Wang Qi's, but his personal relationship with the Zhao family is closer. He has a room on the first floor of this villa building and is qualified to live here.
He used to be Zhao Wuji's driver, then Zhao Qilan's driver, and now he drives for Zhao Ruyi, serving three generations of people. Therefore, the Zhao family does not regard him as an outsider. Uncle Liu has a close relationship with every member of the Zhao family.
very good.
Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang were orphans adopted by Zhao Wuji decades ago. Later, through Zhao Ruyi's maternal uncle's relationship, they were sent to the army to train for many years, and then returned to Zhao Wuji's side as personal bodyguards.
Zao Wou-Ki regarded them as his adopted sons, and they were loyal to him. Just to prevent his children from having any ideas, Zao Wou-Ki asked them to call him "uncle". They were not officially adopted sons, so there would be no property disputes.
The person in charge of cooking is a chef who retired from the military guest house and is now the Zhao family's home cook, so the taste of these meals will never be worse than that of restaurants outside.
"Come, congratulate Ruyi on your return from serving as a soldier. Third uncle proposes a toast to you!" They sat down one by one, and the food was served. Zhao Qicheng felt that the atmosphere was not lively enough, so he took the initiative to propose a toast to Zhao Ruyi.
"Haha, thank you so much, uncle!" Zhao Ruyi stood up, had a glass with Zhao Qicheng, drank all the rice wine in the glass, and then turned to Zhao Wuji, "Grandpa, I also want to toast you. I hope you will be as happy as the East China Sea and have a long life."
Binan Mountain!”
Zhao Wuji, who was not very happy in his heart, smiled when he saw Zhao Ruyi toasting him, picked up the wine glass, and clinked it with Zhao Ruyi's glass.
In normal times, no fuss like that outside would be allowed during meals at home, but perhaps the home was too deserted, even Uncle Liu and Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang sat down to eat with them, so Zhao Wuji acquiesced in such toasts to each other.
"Uncle Liu, you have worked hard these days, and I would like to toast you." Zhao Ruyi held the cup again and faced Uncle Liu.
When Uncle Liu saw Zhao Ruyi toasting him, he was flattered and hurriedly stood up, "Okay, okay!"
"Uncle Bing, Uncle General, I'd like to toast you too!" Zhao Ruyi picked up the wine glass again and signaled to Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang.
Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang were slightly drunk, meaning they meant it.
They were responsible for Zao Wuji's safety, so they would never dare to drink excessively. Most of these drinks were just for show, and they would not drink too much.
Zhao Ruyi took turns to salute, and the slightly cold atmosphere became warmer. Zhao Qicheng took the opportunity to ask some questions about being a soldier in the South China Sea, and Zhao Ruyi answered in turn.
Zhao Wuji didn't speak, he just listened. He knew that Zhao Ruyi went to a small border island in the South China Sea for training. It was not a vacation, but it was actually very hard. At this time, Zhao Qicheng and Zhao Ruyi answered questions one by one, saying that Zhao Ruyi was a soldier.
The situation becomes clearer.
When Zhao Ruyi saw her third uncle Zhao Qicheng asking him, could he not know that it was Zhao Qicheng who asked him to take the opportunity to complain, hoping to make his grandfather feel some compassion and compensate him?
However, Zhao Wuji seemed to not understand, and kept his face expressionless, allowing them to ask and answer questions. Uncle Liu occasionally interjected a few questions, and Zhao Qicheng occasionally asked Zhao Tianbing and Zhao Tianjiang about their time as soldiers.
.
But just like this, while talking and eating, the relationship became harmonious, and Zhao Wuji's face was no longer so stiff. He really knew that Zhao Ruyi had suffered a lot, and just like his character, he would not give up even if he endured it.
The family complains.
Zhao Ruyi returned to land and won the first place overall in the military competition. Zhao Wuji also knew this. He actually still liked his grandson who could endure hardships and be cruel, but he didn't show it on purpose.
Then again, if he doesn't like this grandson, then how can he disagree with his brother who is in a high position in the capital and has repeatedly asked Zhao Ruyi to be his successor?
Zhao Wuji was reluctant to let Zhao Ruyi go to the capital. At most, he would let him go to the capital every winter or summer vacation so that his younger brother could have the pleasure of having a grandchild.
Among his brothers and sisters, Zhao Ruyi is the most naughty and the one who is most likely to cause trouble, but he is also the smartest and the most able to endure hardships.
Zhao Ruyi's maternal uncle felt that Zhao Ruyi's personality was like him, but Zhao Ruyi's grandfather felt that Zhao Ruyi also looked a lot like himself!
After dinner was over, Zao Wuji asked the servants to collect the dishes, and then went for a walk outside in the yard.
Zhao Ruyi knew she couldn't escape, so she gave up. When she saw her third uncle holding a pack of good cigarettes and about to drive out for a walk, she could only feel envious and obediently went to the room on the second floor to rest.
"What do you want to eat? Third uncle will bring it back to you." Zhao Qicheng saw Zhao Ruyi's helpless expression and said with a smile.
"It's not like he's in jail!" Zhao Ruyi rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the stairs.
Zhao Qicheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's almost the same!"
As he spoke, he hummed a tune, shook the keys of the sports car, and walked outside the house. He recently hired a second-tier star in the film and television industry and placed her in an apartment in the city center.
How many years had Zhao Ruyi been working together with him, and how could he still not know the behavior of his third uncle? It’s not that his third uncle couldn’t afford to be a first-tier star, but he felt that first-tier stars had too much make-up and bad skin, and they didn’t look good!
Moreover, A-list celebrities are often followed by paparazzi. It's okay to have a meal once in a while, but living together is too troublesome...
Seeing his proud look, Zhao Ruyi knew that he had probably had several girlfriends in the past two years...
"Scumbag..." Zhao Ruyi shook his head, shouted secretly, and then walked to the room on the second floor.
But in fact, Zhao Ruyi knew that this cynical third uncle was actually very smart. It was no problem for these little stars to defraud him of some small money. They wanted to conceive his child and defraud him of his family property. Hehe, there was no such chance.
After experiencing such setbacks and blows, my third uncle will never get married again in this life, nor will he ever want to have children again.
From the window of the stairs, he saw his third uncle's yellow limited edition sports car leaving the villa. Zhao Ruyi looked at his grandfather who was strolling in the yard. Zhao Ruyi sighed slightly and entered his room.
What grandpa is thinking about now must be how to deal with the Murong family tomorrow.
Forget it, it's none of my business, I won't marry her anyway.
Zhao Ruyi made up her mind, lay down on the bed, picked up a book on the bedside, opened it casually, and then made an overseas phone call to her mother.
The call didn't get through. Zhao Ruyi knew that he should be on his way back by plane at this time, so he thought about it and called Zhong Xinyan again.
"Hey, what's up...little devil?" Zhong Xinyan on the other end answered the phone and asked with a smile.
Zhao Ruyi put her legs on the desk next to her, leaned on the pillow, rolled her eyes, and thought to herself, your nickname for me is really constantly changing.
"Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?" Zhao Ruyi teased her.
At this time, one of them was in Donghu City and the other was in Ling'an City. They were not close to each other, so Zhao Ruyi could only call her. It was absolutely impossible to find her under the current situation.
These two individually fenced villas have the best security measures in the country. No one from outside can come in, and no one inside can easily get out. If Zhao Wuji doesn't let Zhao Ruyi go out, then this is the strictest prison.
.
"I'm just about to take a shower, and I'm completely naked."
Zhong Xinyan's next words almost made Zhao Ruyi nosebleed.
"How is the kid?" Zhao Ruyi reluctantly calmed down and asked her. Just thinking about Zhong Xinyan's figure and her naked appearance, this is really...
"Very good. Didn't you just visit him during the day?" Zhong Xinyan asked.
Zhao Ruyi smiled, such a conversation, it was as if he really hid Zhong Xinyan in the golden house outside, and also raised a little baby. It was really ambiguous...
"If you really don't want to be my girlfriend, I will marry someone else tomorrow?" Zhao Ruyi deliberately teased her.
"Hey, you can marry whoever you want. If you have the ability, go ahead and marry him..." Zhong Xinyan on the other side of the phone said with a smile.
She didn't believe that a playboy like Zhao Ruyi would get married so early. She wouldn't believe it even to death. The sound of running water came from Zhao Ruyi's cell phone, and it sounded like Zhong Xinyan was really getting ready to take a bath.
Zhao Ruyi wanted to say a few more words to her, but suddenly his door was opened, and a slender figure rushed in, bumped into his Simmons mattress, and then suddenly snatched the mobile phone from Zhao Ruyi's hand, "
Brother, who are you calling? Hello...who is the beautiful woman opposite?"
