Rebirth of the Unworthy

Although it was said that he wanted to take Li Jiuying to experience the "night scene" of Wancheng, but in view of the strict security of the Li family and the words that Chi Junrui blurted out inadvertently, Li Rongxiu did not go too far, and only brought Li Jiuying to Wancheng Hotel had a local meal, and then spent a while in the hotel's bar.

When he learned that Li Jiuying had just arrived in Wancheng and hadn't had time to check in at the hotel, Li Rongxiu stuffed him into the presidential suite of Wancheng Hotel by the way—although the price of staying in the presidential suite of Wancheng Hotel for one night was not expensive. It's not cheap, but Li Rongxiu felt that it was really worth it to see Chi Junrui's constipated face who was getting more and more anxious but couldn't get in the way for such a small amount of money.

In a mood full of pranks, Li Rongxiu simply opened the presidential suite for half a year, then patted Li Jiuying on the shoulder, and said warmly and caringly: "We two brothers hit it off right away, and it so happens that our surname is Li. , I will recognize you as a godbrother, I have taken care of all your food, drink and entertainment in Wancheng, you can enjoy it at ease."

Li Jiuying looked at the impassioned Li Rongxiu who stood on tiptoe to pretend to be the boss, and couldn't help but curl his lips.Seeing this situation, Chi Junrui on the side became more and more anxious. He was about to speak when his eyes met Li Jiuying's, although he was still warm and friendly when he looked at him, but the eyes that implied a threat and warning made his whole body tremble, and he didn't dare to say anything more. talk.

It's not that Li Rongxiu and the others didn't see the little action between Li Jiuying and Chi Junrui, but everyone didn't take it seriously-in the eyes of many dudes, no matter how noble Li Jiuying's status in the capital is, it's late here. The city is the intersection of the empire's economic lifelines.As long as Wancheng's taxes still accounted for half of the empire's total revenue, the children of these aristocratic families would never have to bow their knees to please others.

This is the difference between the aristocratic family and the nouveau riche. The latter always lacks a bit or two of character in the process of making friends with the powerful.

Secretly scorning Chi Junrui, who was almost servile, everyone looked at each other and smiled tacitly.Almost at this moment, Li Jiuying was also keenly aware of the innate pride and reserve that Li Rongxiu and the others had spontaneously born from the bottom of their hearts.He took a sip of the whiskey that Chi Junrui poured for him with great interest, but his eyes kept falling on Li Rongxiu who insisted on drinking iced cocoa in the bar.

He saw Li Rongxiu deliberately put the cup containing iced cocoa on the small round table in front of him, pushed in Chi Junrui's direction, and said with a smile: "Add two pieces of ice for me."

Chi Junrui was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Li Rongxiu, and replied with a smile: "The ice cubes are on the table, I don't know the taste of Xiu Shao, you add it yourself."

"But the ice container is closer to you." Li Rongxiu said, and glanced at Li Jiuying casually.

Under the dim light of the bar, Li Jiuying saw Li Rongxiu leaning his body back slightly, leaning against the soft chair so that his body could be more stretched, and then he naturally raised his legs, revealing a small section of snow-white ankle.The elbow of the right arm is resting on the armrest of the soft chair, the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are slightly curled up, the index finger is loosely placed between the eyebrows, and the left hand is holding the matchbox provided by the bar, and the matchbox is flexible at the fingertips Turn around.He just tilted his head to look at Chi Junrui, and said with a smile, "We didn't want to invite Mr. Chi to come to our party. After all, we didn't know each other well before. But since Mr. Chi insisted on coming, I will I thought that Mr. Chi intended to befriend us. Since we are all friends, I would like to ask Mr. Chi to add two pieces of ice to me. Is this not too much to ask?"

After Li Rongxiu finished speaking, Ai Lun and the others stopped talking and looked at Chi Junrui with a half-smile.

Chi Junrui suddenly felt that the atmosphere in this bar was too quiet and stuffy. Even the crowd dancing wildly on the dance floor, the loud dance music and the bright lights couldn't melt the obscure quiet of this small area.He raised his eyes and looked at Li Rongxiu, who was described as tired and lazy, and then at Li Jiuying, who was sitting silently, and faintly felt an atmosphere that could not be rejected.Chi Junrui pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem."

After finishing speaking, Chi Junrui quickly picked up the small silver tweezers, picked up two ice cubes and threw them into the crystal cup filled with iced cocoa.The moment the ice cubes were thrown into the cocoa, a few drops of ice cocoa liquid splashed and landed on the small round table.Chi Junrui looked down at the few drops of cocoa, and felt that he heard the sound of ice cubes hitting the crystal glass.

Alan, who was sitting beside Chi Junrui, took out a few sheets of paper from the paper drawer, wiped the crystal cup containing cocoa, and then handed the crystal cup to Li Rongxiu.Li Rongxiu reached out to take it and played with it for a while, then smiled at Allen and said, "Thank you."

Allen replied with a blunt reply.Li Rongxiu looked at Chi Junrui again, smiled slightly, raised his cup to gesture to Chi Junrui, nodded and said, "Thank you too."

Chi Junrui twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, and replied "You're welcome" in a neutral manner.Then he glanced at Li Jiuying with some annoyance, as if he wanted to see through Li Jiuying's emotions.But Li Jiuying still kept that everlasting warm smile on his face, as if he didn't notice the secret confrontation between them at all.

Chi Junrui drank the whiskey in the glass with some embarrassment.The moment the cold liquid entered the mouth, it burst into a fiery aroma, and the mellow taste invaded the taste buds and invaded the taste nerves.It brought a sense of sobriety to Chi Junrui's muddled head.In the next second, it seemed even more chaotic.

Chi Junrui was a little depressed.He felt that his performance just now was terrible.He was even a little surprised when Li Rongxiu asked him to add ice, and felt an unquestionable, undeniable nobility and arrogance rushing towards him.Although Li Rongxiu at that moment still maintained the hypocritical politeness and approachability of the children of the aristocratic family, in Chi Junrui's eyes, Li Rongxiu seemed to have become a high-ranking king at that moment, and he, Chi Junrui, was just one of the mortal beings. Insignificant waiter.It seemed that Li Rongxiu ordered him to do anything, it was justified.

The elite aura that he was proud of was actually suppressed by a few dudes who didn't pay attention to him before.From Chi Junrui's point of view, the moment he added ice to Li Rongxiu, he seemed to have become a marionette, unable to control his every move.

Chi Junrui couldn't forgive himself for not showing his usual mature, steady, tactful, humorous side in front of Li Jiuying, who was about to serve him, and who was able to deal with everything with ease and wisdom.He couldn't understand why he felt so much pressure when he was facing Li Rongxiu, a dude who didn't care about production and only relied on his family background to eat and die.

Of course, Chi Junrui may not understand in his whole life, even though they are all playboys, but a playboy who is sixteen or seventeen years old and a playboy who is nearly [-] years old... are still different in essence after all.

Chi Junrui, depressed because he didn't understand, looked at Li Rongxiu again.In his fantasy, Li Rongxiu must have a disgusting, self-satisfied and complacent smile on his face right now.Because he finally succeeded in disgusting himself.However, when his eyes fell on Li Rongxiu's face, he found that Li Rongxiu was fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down, and he casually put the iced cocoa that humiliated him on the table.

Li Rongxiu looked at the dozen or so missed calls displayed on the phone screen, four of which were unfamiliar numbers, and the string of numbers was the same as the missed call that came in the afternoon.The other seven missed calls were from elder brother Li Rongyu, two from mother Zhuang Meiru, and one from grandma Mo Wanrou.At this moment, Li Rongxiu couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, his father and grandfather went to other places on a business trip. Otherwise, his missed calls might increase by a few more.

Li Rongxiu thought about it, ignored the four calls from strangers, and called his elder brother Li Rongyu directly.After the phone rang three times, it was connected.Li Rongxiu didn't wait for the eldest brother to speak, and asked directly: "Why did you call me so many times? Didn't I report it in the afternoon, and I want to accompany my friends tonight, not at home for dinner."

"But it's already 09:30 in the evening." Li Rongyu's usually cold and quiet voice showed a hint of helplessness, "Mom and grandma are worried that if you don't come home so late, you will meet bad people. Besides, our house is locked at night. Ten o'clock, even if you want to go out to play, you should go home now. You have to go to class tomorrow morning."

Li Rongxiu laughed dumbfounded, and said: "Please brother, I am no longer a child, you don't want to scare me with 'a story about a witch abducting a child to make broth at night'. Besides, I am here with my friends. Chatting in the bar of a hotel, you don’t even have confidence in your hotel’s security system, do you?”

"A new friend who doesn't know the details and knows nothing except his name?" Li Rongyu raised his eyebrows on the other end of the phone, obviously noncommittal to Li Rongxiu's choice.However, he didn't intend to continue on this topic, but changed his mouth and said: "Come back soon, otherwise mom and grandma won't be able to sleep peacefully. And someone bought a gift for you, and it has been sent to our house."

"Gift, what gift?" Li Rongxiu straightened his body with some interest.No matter whether he is 16 or 26 years old, Li Rongxiu has an extremely strong desire and curiosity about gifts.

"It's the one you want the most. Come back and see for yourself. I'll call the kitchen to prepare supper right now." Li Rongyu said, and hung up the phone.

"The gift I want most?" Li Rongxiu listened to the busy tone on the phone, thinking about the gift, he just felt as if he was being scratched by a kitten's paw a few times, and he was very unsteady.

He put down Erlang's legs with some anguish, and said to Li Jiuying, "Brother Jiuying just arrived in Wancheng today, and the journey must have been exhausting. How about you come here today? Go back to your room and have a good rest and rejuvenate your energy." Recharge your batteries. We will come to play with you again tomorrow night."

Li Jiuying looked at Li Rongxiu's serious and considerate face, and wanted to remind him that although it was his first time in Wancheng, it was by no means his first day here.And he is very energetic, and he really wants Li Rongxiu to continue chatting with him.But after thinking about it, Li Jiuying still didn't say that. He just asked with a smile, "Why did you wait until tomorrow night? In fact, Rong Xiu and I hit it off right away. I really want to see you tomorrow morning."

What he said was a bit frivolous, but Li Rongxiu obviously didn't hear it.He explained to Li Jiuying seriously: "Because I have to go to school during the day tomorrow, and I will only be free at night."

Li Jiuying instantly felt extremely speechless.He shook his head amusedly, and said regretfully: "Well, it seems that I have to wait until night."

He still wanted to make some jokes, but Li Rongxiu was in no mood to greet him anymore.After hearing Li Jiuying's words, Li Rongxiu stood up directly, and said to Li Jiuying, "Well, let's see you tomorrow night—at seven o'clock in the evening, I will go to the hotel to find you."

Seeing this, Ai Lun and the others also stood up, exchanged polite greetings with Li Jiuying, and shook hands to say goodbye.

Li Jiuying watched in astonishment as Li Rongxiu and the others abandoned him and left in a hurry, he couldn't laugh or cry.When he was in the capital, he often heard people say that the sons of wealthy families in Wancheng were rebellious and difficult to get along with.He didn't think so.But seeing Li Rongxiu's hot and cold attitude towards him now, he couldn't help but not believe it.

However, this attitude is better than those who flatter and fawn on him because of his status and status.This made Li Jiuying suddenly recall the experience of interacting with people when he went to Europe to study incognito.

Equality, nature, independence, no accommodating and giving in driven by interests, but communicating and getting along as one likes.

Thinking of this, Li Jiuying became more and more looking forward to the meeting between the two tomorrow night.

Only Chi Junrui secretly rejoiced watching the backs of everyone leaving, and quickly said to Li Jiuying, "It's okay, I have nothing to do at night, so I can spend more time with Mr. Li."

However, what Chi Junrui didn't expect was that Li Jiuying, who was still in high spirits and was reluctant to part with Li Rongxiu's departure, smiled at him apologetically, but said in a confident and guilt-free voice: "Sorry, I'm sorry. Feeling a little tired, I want to go up to rest. Let's see you tomorrow night."

When Chi Junrui heard the words, he froze in place.
