Volume 1 Chapter 279 Strange Phenomenon
Yes, it's because my mentality is too good. I choose to lie down without any worries. How can I care about the gap between myself and others?
Gu Ruoxi pursed her red lips, turned her head away angrily, and no longer looked at Li Tian.
Li Tian felt somewhat guilty and agreed to marry Gu Ruoxi. His main motivation was to use Gu's family's military background to add a talisman to himself, not because he fell in love with Gu Ruoxi. Although he would take the marriage seriously, he still felt that he was cruel to Gu Ruoxi.
"After returning to Lijia Village, let's hold a grand wedding according to the customs of our Lijia Village." Li Tian spoke, wanting to compensate Gu Ruoxi.
Gu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head firmly: "No, keep it simple. I don't like crowds."
"This is a major event in life. How can we keep it simple? It's unfair to you." Li Tian frowned.
"Hold a big banquet and let everyone compare your ex-wife with me. Is that fair to me?" Gu Ruoxi said in a sneer.
Li Tian: “…”
Waiting for me here.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and keep everything simple. When you go back, offer tea to the elders and go to the ancestral hall to kneel down and worship your ancestors. Let them know that you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family. This is not too much, right?" Li Tian said.
"Um"
Gu Ruoxi replied calmly and closed her eyes to rest.
Although she has always tried not to talk about Li Tian's ex-wife, how could she not care at all?
Just think about how lively Lijia Village was when Li Tian married his ex-wife. Everyone must have praised Li Tian for marrying such a virtuous and beautiful wife.
Now that he has divorced his ex-wife and registered his marriage with me, if he holds a grand banquet in Lijia Village again, listens to the blessings from those who have blessed his ex-wife, and toasts to those who his ex-wife has toasted before, what does that mean?
She doesn't need such a happy event, which will only make her live in the shadow of Li Tian's ex-wife.
…
Three hours passed quickly and the train arrived at the provincial capital of Jiang Province.
The next step to get to Yu County is to take a car.
Li Tian was not very happy to deal with Li Qiudong because this guy had bad intentions and kept looking at Gu Ruoxi in a sneaky way from time to time.
But Li Qiudong came up to him enthusiastically like a pug.
"Mr. Li!"
After walking out of the train station, a man stood next to a Mercedes-Benz GLC and bowed to Li Qiudong.
"This is my assistant and driver, Xiao Wang."
Li Qiudong introduced them gracefully, "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, Ruoxi, get in the car, we are going back to Li Village now."
The price of Mercedes-Benz GLC is around RMB 600,000. With this car on the scene, he is more confident and confident.
At this time, a woman in business attire ran over, ran to Gu Ruoxi, bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
This is the person in charge of the branch of Qingcheng International in the provincial capital of Jiangxi Province.
"Where is the car?" Gu Ruoxi asked calmly.
The woman pointed to a Volvo parked in the distance and said, "Over there."
"Give me the key." Gu Ruoxi said.
The woman then handed the car keys to Gu Ruoxi.
After Gu Ruoxi got it, she threw it to Li Tian and said, "Let's go."
As she spoke, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on. The large sunglasses almost covered most of her face, making her look particularly cool and charming.
"Donggua, I appreciate your kindness. We have a car." Li Tian shook the Volvo car key and followed Gu Ruoxi.
Li Qiudong stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the Volvo XC90. When he saw Li Tian put the suitcase away and drove away with Gu Ruoxi, he cursed unbalancedly, "Damn, you gigolo, what are you showing off for!"
Thinking of Gu Ruoxi, he said in a very depressed tone: "Gu Ruoxi, Gu Ruoxi, why do you like that loser Li Tian? I am a hundred times better than him, but you don't even look at me."
"Mr. Li, who is that woman? She's so beautiful, and her temperament is like that of a celebrity!" Xiao Wang couldn't help but ask curiously. He was staring with his eyes wide open. He had never seen such a stunningly beautiful woman in his life.
"You said she was beautiful? Am I blind?"
Li Qiudong scolded angrily, "No, I have to go back."
Originally he was just talking about it, but after seeing Li Tian carrying Gu Ruoxi back home, he felt as if countless ants were crawling in his heart and felt very uncomfortable. He felt that Li Tian was not worthy of having Gu Ruoxi at all, and he was the one who was worthy of her.
He had to go back and find a chance to mess with the two of them. If he could have sex with a beauty like Gu Ruoxi just once, his life would not be in vain.
He got into the Mercedes-Benz GLC and ordered Xiao Wang, "Let's go back to Lijia Village!"
Xiao Wang reminded: "Mr. Li, the company has an important shareholders meeting this afternoon..."
Li Qiudong interrupted loudly: "It's not important at all. The most important thing for me right now is to go back to Li Village!"
Xiao Wang nodded heavily: "Yes."
He got in the car, started the car, took Li Qiudong out of the train station and rushed to Lijia Village.
It takes more than three hours to drive from the provincial capital to Lijia Village in Yu County.
Li Tian drove all the way to Lijia Village. Gu Ruoxi sat in the back seat, took out a thin notebook, and handled the company's mail affairs remotely, occasionally calling the company's employees to inquire about the progress of the project.
I worked for two or three hours, and by the time I finished my work and put away my notebook, the car had already entered the territory of Lijia Village.
Seeing the mountains on both sides of the road were planted with fruit trees, each tree was full of orange fruits. Gu Ruoxi asked curiously: "What are these on the mountain?"
"Oranges, the oranges of Jiangxi Province are famous all over the country. Have you never eaten them?" Li Tian said.
"no."
Gu Ruoxi shook her head. She had only heard of it, but had never eaten or seen it.
Li Tian laughed and said, "Wife, you are too out of touch with reality. You have never even eaten oranges."
Gu Ruoxi said nothing.
Li Tian was afraid that she would be angry, so he changed the subject and said, "In the past, it was popular to go south to pan for gold, but now it is popular to start your own business. Oranges have become the pillar industry of our Lijia Village. Almost every family has contracted land to grow oranges. Those who grow a lot can earn 400,000 or 500,000 yuan a year, which is much better than working outside."
"Is four or five hundred thousand pure profit or does it include costs?" Gu Ruoxi is a businessman and is very sensitive about profits.
"Of course it's the pure profit for one year after deducting the costs," said Li Tian.
"That's fine." Gu Ruoxi nodded.
Soon, the car drove into the village. What surprised Li Tian was that, apart from the children and the elderly in their seventies and eighties in the village, he did not see any young people or middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. It was as if the young people and middle-aged people in their forties and fifties had been screened out.
What is going on?
Li Tian was puzzled. He had walked along the way but hadn't noticed anyone working in the orchard. Where had the young people and the middle-aged people in their forties and fifties gone?
