Chapter 348(1/2)
Lingxiao No. 1 is the highest-end community in Tongxin City. It is located in the core area of CBD where every inch of land is valuable. Those who can live here are either rich or noble.
The seemingly ordinary building exterior walls of Lingxiao 1 use high-tech nanotechnology. Judging from the details of these facades, the taste of Lingxiao 1 has made people curious about the luxury of its interior decoration.
Walking into the gate of Lingxiao No. 1, the tall hedge comes into view. This hedge covers an area of about 2,000 square meters and is composed of regular straight lines. It does not have the dead ends and wrong turns of the classic maze in its design. It is Lingxiao No. 1
The residents and guests provide a comfortable environment where they can easily stroll. There is a viewing platform in the middle of the elegant maze, and finally reaching the center of the people can see the entire hedge maze on the observation deck.
The entry unit door is also very exquisite. It is a copper door carved purely by hand in Germany, and it costs 200,000 yuan. A door alone has a great background, which inevitably makes people imagine the world behind the door.
"Here, please come in."
Zhang Ailing led Li Rui to her mansion on the top floor.
"Auntie, do you live alone in such a big house?"
Zhang Ailing smiled and said, "Yes, people live their whole life just to have a place to live. What does it matter if the house is bigger and smaller?"
The living room adopts a magnificent European style. But compared to these, what attracts more attention is the beautiful skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Those customers who buy Lingxiao No. 1 do not want to buy a luxury house, they should buy a movie ticket that can see the past and the future. After all, the sense of superiority of standing on the balcony and looking down on the city can only be
Only here can you feel it.
"Auntie, standing here, the whole Tongxin City is in your eyes."
"Hahaha, I feel tired of watching it after watching it too much."
Zhang Ailing smiled and said, "Come on, sit down and have a glass of water."
Li Rui smiled and came to Zhang Ailing and said, "Auntie, why don't everyone envy those who can afford luxury houses? I'll come to visit you and have to pass five passes and kill six generals. Everyone who lives here, don't care.
Who is he? Just living here is a natural sense of superiority.”
Zhang Ailing smiled and asked Li Rui to sit down, saying, "I said this when I was young, but as I grew older, some things gradually became indifferent. What a sense of superiority, it was just an illusory thing.
Forget it!"
"Maybe, at least I can't understand it now." Li Rui said.
"Xiaoqing, pour water for the guests." Zhang Ailing shouted into the house.
Xiaoqing is Zhang Ailing's housekeeper assistant and is usually responsible for taking care of her daily life.
As soon as Zhang Ailing finished speaking, a pretty little girl pushed the door open and came in soon.
"Madam, are you calling me?" Xiaoqing pushed the door and said gracefully to Zhang Ailing.
"This is Li Rui, my niece and son-in-law."
Hearing this, Xiaoqing's face suddenly showed a very surprised look and said, "He is Miss Yaoyao..."
Zhang Ailing nodded and said, "Do I have a second niece?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Hello, just call me Li Rui."
"Xiaoqing, go and get the best Longjing for me. I want to entertain Li Rui."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Soon, Xiaoqing finished making tea, poured a cup of tea for Li Rui and Zhang Ailing separately, and she left the living room tactfully.
"Li Rui, try this year's new tea."
Li Rui tried to take a sip and smiled and said, "Good tea."
"One day I haven't sat down and had a cup of tea."
"Oh, is that so? What's my aunt doing recently?"
Zhang Ailing smiled slightly and said, "I'm just busy."
"So what can I help?"
Zhang Ailing glanced at Li Rui and smiled and said, "Li Rui, we are not secretly talking. You come to me today, so there should be something to say."
Li Rui smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from my aunt. Since you said that, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to tell you something today."
Zhang Ailing put down the teacup, sat up straight, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I want to advise you that people's hearts are separated from their belly, so be careful to raise an ungrateful wolf."
Zhang Ailing frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean? Who is the ungrateful wolf referring to?"
"Haha, do you really don't know?" Li Rui looked at Zhang Ailing's expression and continued, "Didn't your aunt think about what the ending will be in the future?"
Zhang Ailing stared at Li Rui, her face became solemn, and said, "What do you mean?"
Li Rui smiled slightly, looked at the stairs, and after confirming that no one eavesdropped, he whispered: "Do you really think that the Zhang family will support you without reservation?"
Zhang Ailing looked slightly shocked, but she remained calm and said with a smile: "I am the daughter of the Zhang family. My parents support me. Will there be any conspiracy?"
"My mother-in-law? But isn't my poor mother-in-law, your own sister, a clear proof?"
"Forehead......"
Hearing this, Zhang Ailing's expression became even more ugly.
Li Rui took the opportunity to say, "Auntie, for Yaoyao's sake, I'm here to say this to you personally today. For the Zhang family, what they really want is Long Yan, not to fight for the so-called daughter.
Interests are naked competition for interests, not games of family affection.”
"You..." Zhang Ailing looked at Li Rui in surprise and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is very simple. Jiang Yongming will never become your puppet. Once Jiang Yongming takes office, he will abandon you immediately. At that time, you will be finished with everything!"
"He dares!" Zhang Ailing said angrily: "I gave everything to him. If it weren't for me, he was still a small manager of a branch. Where would he be his turn to participate in the candidate competition?"
"This is the problem? What exactly did he jump from an unknown little manager to a strong competitor for candidates? Is it really because of your kindness, aunt?"
"I have no other choice. If you want to blame me, I can only blame my stomach for being unsatisfied and not leaving a seed for the Chen family." Zhang Ailing said hatefully.
"No." Li Rui waved his hand and said, "I want me to say that the real reason is Mr. Ma."
Hearing this, Eileen Chang suddenly raised her head, looked at Li Rui in surprise, and said, "How did you know?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ma should have had an agreement with you. As long as Jiang Yongming succeeds in taking office, he promises you to control Long Yan's sovereignty. As for how I know, the reason is very simple, because he also told your sister.
In the same way, it turns out that your sister ended up tragically.”
"So what? There will be a win or lose in competition. If she loses, it will only prove that she is not as skilled as others."
"But what about you?" Li Rui asked: "Mr. Ma must have explained this to you. He falsely supported Zhang Youling to achieve the goal of fishing for troubled waters, but why didn't you think that your existence will become the Zhang family in the future
The biggest obstacle.”
"I......"
"I believe that with your intelligence, it is not difficult to think of this. The reason why you are reluctant to admit it is because you are worried that everything will become a bubble now!"
"Stop!" Zhang Ailing said angrily: "It's not your turn to point fingers at me now!"
Li Rui said slowly: "Auntie, why bother to be angry? What I said is just the fact. If you are really worried about losing everything you have in the future, I can make a promise to you. All you have now will still be in the future.
It’s yours, and you can get everything you want in the future!”
Zhang Ailing snorted coldly: "Why do you say that everything I have now is mine in the future? What I want to get can be obtained in the future? Is it just your Aoshi Group?"
"Of course it's not just Aoshi Group, but also Shancheng, Dongjun and Long Yan."
"What?"
"You heard it right. What I said is true. Now I not only have Ao Shi as a bargaining chip, but also the support of Shancheng, Dongjun and Long Yan. I think these are enough to prove that what I said is not a silence.
”
"You..." Zhang Ailing still hesitated and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want to persuade auntie, you will be back after you are lost."
"I will return after a lost path?"
"I have explained the pros and cons. If you are determined to rely on the Zhang family and those with the surname Ma, then you should know what the result will be."
"Do you know, what do I really want?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know. You can offer a price, and the price is easy to negotiate."
"Haha, am I really just for the control of Long Yan?" Zhang Ailing suddenly said resentfully: "Whenever I sit in front of this huge floor-to-ceiling window, I can see the prosperity of Tongxin City, and I don't have a trace of joy in my heart.
, There is only infinite emptiness and loneliness, but the person I love has never had me in my heart. What's the use of me if I want these glory and wealth?"
Li Rui looked at Zhang Ailing in surprise and felt that Zhang Ailing was indeed a person with a story. She said that she spared no effort to fight for power and throne, not for glory and wealth, so why?
"Auntie, do you have any worries?"
"Li Rui, do you love Yaoyao?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "Of course."
"Love is beautiful, but it is also cruel, like me..."
As he spoke, Zhang Ailing's eyes became whirling.
Li Rui thoughtfully handed a tissue and said, "It seems that there is a past relationship between you and Mr. Chen. If you are willing, can you tell me?"
