◇ 【120】 The cultivation team grows
Han Law Firm
Han Lin crossed his legs on the desk, looking at the documents at hand while humming a song, "I am like a fish on your body, just to take off your thick clothes..."
"Puff..." Li Ruicheng spat out the tea he hadn't swallowed yet. He choked and started coughing violently. He pointed at Han Lin and coughed even harder because he wanted to laugh. "Cough cough...you, you..."
"What's wrong? Do you think my singing voice is amazing?" Han Lin looked at him with a wicked smile, his eyebrows slanted. Although he looked like a ruffian, it had to be said that this guy had an amazing and unique charm when he had this expression on his face.
Li Ruicheng couldn't help but be stunned. "Well, I finally realized that you have one advantage over me. That is, you are definitely thicker-skinned than me."
Han Lin raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
"Xiao Gu, you finally remembered me. What have you been busy with lately?"
"Brother Han, are you free today? Let's get together at the flower base. Also, the old man and I have a gift for you."
"Do you have a gift for me?" Han Lin saw Li Ruicheng's curious ears and knew that he hadn't received the news yet. He smiled at him smugly and said, "Okay, I'll arrange the things on hand and then leave."
Li Ruicheng opened his mouth to speak.
Han Lin quickly said, "I have something urgent to do here. Let's talk when I get there... Got it... Bye."
Li Ruicheng was furious. "I must have a share of this gift. Why did you hang up so quickly?"
"See? In Xiao Gu's heart, my status is higher than yours."
Han Lin's smug look made Li Ruicheng want to punch him. At this moment, his cell phone rang.
When I looked at the caller ID, it was indeed Gu Juan.
"Xiao Gu."
"Brother Li, are you free today? Let's get together at the flower base. By the way, the old man and I have prepared a big gift for you."
Li Ruicheng naturally agreed, "When I'm free. Xiao Gu, I have to file a complaint against Han Lin. I'm at his place right now. I wanted to talk to you just now, but that guy hung up the phone... Hahaha... Yeah. Okay, I'll definitely be there before Han Lin. OK, bye."
This phone call gave him a flash of inspiration, and he shook his head and said, "Han Lin, to be honest, I really sympathize with you."
Han Lin was puzzled, "Why do you sympathize with me?"
Li Ruicheng crossed his legs and asked, "Let me ask you, how are the phone contacts ranked?"
Han Lin answered subconsciously: "The first letter of the pinyin?"
"That's right." Li Ruicheng slapped his thigh. "Your 'Han' comes before my 'Li'. It's just because of this advantage that Xiao Gu called you first. But it's no wonder that you think you are more important to Xiao Gu than me. People who lack love will often suggest to themselves, and after a long time, the false will become true. Poor thing, really pitiful." He shook his head as he spoke.
This time, it was Han Lin's turn to be ridiculed by him.
Li Ruicheng burst out of his office laughing.
"Isn't it just that you all have girlfriends? What's the big deal?"
Han Lin shouted in frustration, but unfortunately Li Ruicheng had already run away.
…
After calling Han Lin, Li Ruicheng, and Zhang Muheng one by one, Gu Juan put down his phone and said to Xi Lang, "Brother Han and Brother Li are like a pair of bickering lovers. I guess they're fighting right now."
"The two of them..." Xi Lang smiled, unsure of what was going on. He put down the jade slip in his hand. "Between me, Linzi, Ruicheng, and Muheng, if I must compare, Linzi and Ruicheng are closer. When they were very young, the Han and Li families were neighbors. Have I ever told you about this?"
Gu Juan shook his head and asked curiously, "Did something interesting happen?"
Xi Lang's smile deepened. "It's more than just interesting. Ruicheng was very delicate as a child, and his mother liked to let his hair grow long. And Linzi was very naughty as a child, it's not an exaggeration to describe him as a naughty monkey. When they first met, Linzi saw Ruicheng and without saying a word, rushed over and gave him a loud kiss on the face, saying, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"..."
Before he could say anything, Gu Juan couldn't help but burst into laughter and rolled on him, "Go on."
"Ruicheng was a little over three years old at the time, and knowing he could only be a 'younger brother' or 'older brother,' he immediately rushed over and started a fight with Linzi. It wasn't a big deal; children are ignorant, and misunderstandings like this are not uncommon. Later, the two of them played together frequently and forgot about the incident. But there were many adults present. When Linzi and Ruicheng were older, around eight or nine, the adults used the incident as a joke to tease them. Both of them became angry and humiliated, and they fought several more times. Gradually, a pattern of interaction developed between the two: when outsiders bullied them, they stood together against them; but when they were alone, they felt uncomfortable if they didn't say a few sharp words to each other."
"That's hilarious!" Gu Juan lay on his lap, unable to stop laughing for a long time, "Brother Zhang knows too?"
Xi Lang stroked his hair gently, smiled and nodded, "I know. Everyone around my age in our circle basically knows about it. If they tease you again in the future, just mention it. I guarantee they won't be able to do anything to you."
Thinking of the expressions Han Lin and Li Ruicheng might have at that time, Gu Juan laughed again.
Because Gu Juan specifically told them not to bring anyone else, Han Lin, Li Ruicheng and Zhang Muheng all came by themselves.
Three luxury cars lined up and entered the flower base through the truck passage.
Many tourists in the base were envious when they saw these cars. They were not only envious of the owners of these cars, but also of the relationship between these owners and the owners of the base, because ordinary people are not qualified to drive their cars into the base.
After entering the fence gate, Han Lin shouted loudly: "Xiao Gu, Xi Lang, we are here!"
Xi Lang appeared on the third-floor balcony. "Come in by yourself."
Li Ruicheng saw the red strawberries densely distributed among the green leaves in the orchard, and he wanted to pick a few immediately.
"Do you have any fruit at home? If not, we can pick some for you."
Gu Juan came out of the house when he heard the sound, feeling a little amused but also a little helpless. "We really haven't prepared this yet. Just pick whatever you want to eat."
He had a good relationship with Han Lin and the others, and didn't treat them as guests, so he didn't prepare anything specially.
Han Lin and Zhang Muheng were also very interested. They went into the house, found three fruit baskets and a vegetable basket, and enthusiastically went to pick fruits and vegetables. They knew the charm of the fruits here very well and never tired of eating them.
Xi Lang also came downstairs at this time and told Gu Juan not to worry about them and let them do whatever they wanted. The two of them talked in the room, waiting for the three people to have their fun before discussing business.
It was almost an hour before Han Lin, Li Ruicheng and Zhang Muheng came back.
Zhang Muheng walked in front, carrying a large basket filled to the brim. "Looking at these fresh and juicy vegetables, I'm tempted to learn from Uncle Xi and Aunt Xi and cultivate a garden in the backyard."
"These vegetables are indeed growing well, absolutely green vegetables. I will pick some to take back when I go back." Li Ruicheng said.
Gu Juan naturally had no objection, "We have enough fruit baskets and vegetable baskets at home. You can pick more when you go back." Although he said that, he guessed that they would no longer be interested in picking fruits and vegetables after he told them about cultivation.
Han Lin moved quickly, washing a large plate of strawberries from the kitchen. He ate them while nodding, "Sweet. Many fruits nowadays aren't as sweet as they were a few years ago, but the fruits here are absolutely authentic."
Gu Juan thought of what Xi Lang had said to him, and stared at him and Li Ruicheng unconsciously. The more he looked, the more he wanted to laugh. He pretended to turn around and talk to Xi Lang, and rubbed his face against Xi Lang's shoulder to stop the urge to laugh.
Xi Lang raised the corners of his lips slightly, lowered his head and pecked him on the lips.
Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, but finally diverted some of his attention and sat up straight. He accidentally saw Han Lin and Li Ruicheng fighting over strawberries and couldn't help it, so he quickly lowered his head.
"Xiao Gu, why are you laughing?" Li Ruicheng was very perceptive and vaguely felt that it was related to him. He looked down at himself, but didn't find anything wrong, and was very puzzled.
Han Lin also felt that Gu Juan looked at him strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Ahem, nothing." Gu Juan picked up the remote control and pretended to watch TV.
Li Ruicheng's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Xi Lang, his mouth twitching as he said dissatisfiedly, "Xi, Lang."
"What's wrong?" Xi Lang looked at him indifferently, as if he was confused.
"You told Xiao Gu about that." Li Ruicheng's tone was very certain, and he kicked Han Lin by the way.
Han Lin was just about to sit down on the sofa when he was kicked by him and fell onto the carpet unexpectedly.
Zhang Muheng laughed out loud. He was laughing at Han Lin's embarrassment, but also because he understood what Li Ruicheng was referring to.
Han Lin was about to hit back at Li Ruicheng, but he felt a little guilty, so he changed his seat to avoid Li Ruicheng kicking him again.
"What is it?" Xi Lang asked in confusion.
Gu Juan tried hard to suppress his laughter, thinking that the old man was quite mean, asking questions even though he knew the answer.
Li Ruicheng was speechless and tried to defend himself feebly, "What's so funny about this? Who didn't have one or two scandals as a child?"
Xi Lang nodded in agreement, "So, you don't have to worry about it."
Li Ruicheng was extremely depressed and lay down on the sofa, occupying the entire sofa.
"Hey, where should I sit?" Zhang Muheng squeezed over.
After they had made enough noise, Gu Juan said, "I told you it would be best to arrange two days. Have you arranged it?"
Zhang Muheng said, "It's arranged. The three of us will stay here for the next two days." He didn't think much about it, just thinking that Gu Juan and Xi Lang wanted to get together with their brothers.
Gu Juan nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Gu, why did you suddenly think of giving us gifts? What are they?" Han Lin was very curious. Gu Juan and Xi Lang had a good relationship and often traveled to other places or abroad. He had given them many gifts, but this was the first time he had done so solemnly.
Gu Juan smiled and said, "There's no rush. Let's talk about it this afternoon."
Zhang Muheng and the others didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang took them to the hotel's activity room for a while before returning. The five of them chatted happily and leisurely as they prepared the food.
After lunch, after sitting for a while, Gu Juan stood up and said, "Let's go to the study to talk."
Han Lin, Li Ruicheng, and Zhang Muheng saw that he looked a little serious, so they followed him and Xi Lang, looking at each other, with no idea in their minds. There was only one thing they were sure of, that Gu Juan's so-called "gift" must be extraordinary.
After a while, several people came to the study.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang were both people who knew how to enjoy life. The study was designed to be very comfortable. A large window let in plenty of light, and a light blue, almost colorless gauze curtain hung down, which looked elegant and generous.
Although the windows are wide open, this study is actually the most important place in the whole villa. People outside cannot see clearly what is going on inside, let alone hear any sound from inside.
After everyone was seated, Gu Juan looked at Han Lin, Li Ruicheng, and Zhang Muheng, "Brother Han, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, do you believe that there are cultivators in this world?"
Han Lin and the other two were all shocked. Gu Juan looked serious, clearly not joking.
Li Ruicheng laughed dryly, "Are you going to tell us that you are a cultivator?"
Gu Juan nodded secretly. He had felt for a long time that Li Ruicheng was a person with very sharp senses, and it was indeed true.
Han Lin and Zhang Muheng were at a loss for words. A cultivator? That's unsound!
Gu Juan raised his hand, and a book on the bookshelf flew out and fell into his hand.
Han Lin and the others were all shocked.
Li Ruicheng went over and picked up the book to examine it, suspecting that Gu Juan had done something to it.
"Again?" he asked, looking at Gu Juan.
Gu Juan nodded, "Okay."
Li Ruicheng put the book back on the bookshelf.
Gu Juan raised his hand, and the book returned to his hand again.
