Outside the airport.
"uncle!"
Little Coco, who was originally being held by Ji Yingping, immediately lit up when she saw Lin Rui and tried her best to break free.
Ji Yingping, as the biological father, was not jealous and smiled as he put Coco on the ground.
Seeing Coco skipping and hopping towards him, Lin Rui squatted down, stroking Coco's little head as he asked, "Did you miss your uncle?"
"think."
"Good girl."
Looking into Coco's innocent little eyes, Lin Rui found it very amusing and reached out to pinch Coco's little nose.
Lin Changhe and Dong Juan also started to greet the families of the eldest and third sons. This time, Lin Rui specially borrowed three commercial vehicles from the company.
Even if a whole family suddenly appeared, let alone a crowded place, it would be more than enough to handle.
After the car entered the Guanhu Villa, both families were dazzled by the luxurious villas and the beautiful greenery along the way.
Upon entering the villa, the two families were even more taken aback by its luxurious interior decoration.
Ji Yingping's family was quite wealthy. When he married Lin Hui, the Ji family was prepared to spend money to buy the newlyweds a small villa worth millions, but they gave up the idea because Lin Hui was unwilling to leave her family.
Even with such a wealth of resources, they were still surprised and astonished after seeing Lin Rui's two mansions.
“Xiao Rui is really capable. When my husband told me that Xiao Rui was Fu Sheng, who was often reported on the Internet, I thought he was drunk.”
Third Aunt Xu Fang was a straightforward person. While praising Lin Rui, she would occasionally nudge her son Lin Zhou, who was standing to the side.
In Lin Rui's memory, Lin Zhou was introverted since childhood, and would start crying if teased even slightly, and was not cute at all.
But after entering middle school, this kid started to let himself go and, relying on the strong genetic advantages of his family, he caused trouble for countless women!
Next year, because I will be taking the national civil service exam, I will be a little more restrained.
I had heard my third aunt, Xu Fang, mention before that she wanted Lin Zhou to enroll in a school in Shangzhou.
As a technological mecca, Shangzhou clearly holds extremely high expectations for this precious son.
"Brother, do you think I have a talent for acting?"
The conversation veered from other people's children to future prospects, and Lin Zhou's mind had been in a mess ever since he got on the bus.
She cautiously approached Lin Rui, speaking in a very low voice, and glanced at Xu Fang a few times after speaking, as if afraid that her own mother would hear her.
Lin Rui looked at Lin Zhou with a half-smile.
Undeniably, in terms of looks alone, Lin Zhou is definitely a cute little puppy, occasionally exuding a lazy charm reminiscent of a womanizer; it would be quite fitting to say he's like a little adult.
Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Rui, Lin Zhou instinctively took a half step back. Ever since he was a child, he had been a little afraid of Lin Rui.
"Your third aunt wants you to become a national hero, and you're telling me you want to work in the entertainment industry?"
That was just her opinion.
Lin Zhou looked at Lin Rui pitifully.
Ever since he learned that his cousin was the famous Fusheng, Lin Zhou has been single-mindedly focused on developing his career in the entertainment industry.
Becoming an actor, that's the first step!
Becoming a top-tier actor with countless fans—that's his ultimate goal!
Famous!
He has fans!
He even occasionally gets involved in scandals with female celebrities!
This is what a truly fulfilling and carefree life looks like, isn't it?
What kind of discerning eye does Lin Rui possess?
He could tell at a glance that Lin Zhou had all sorts of strange ideas, but he didn't care.
Although my cousin is not very reliable, he still has principles.
At least the countless women he harmed were only attracted to his heart, not his body.
Furthermore, even though she knew that her cousin was the famous Fusheng, she kept it to herself.
In short, he is charming but not vulgar, and doesn't like to gossip.
What are you two whispering about?
Dong Juan looked over curiously.
"Second Aunt, we were just chatting casually."
Lin Zhou waved his hand somewhat guiltily and took another step back.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhou noticed Coco's blinking eyes and secretly thought, "I mainly wanted to ask if there are any fun places, like a park with lots of small animals or an amusement park with lots of children."
Coco's eyes lit up even more, and her head bobbed like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, we should take Coco to play too."
As she spoke, she tugged at Lin Rui's clothes and shook them, saying, "Uncle, take Coco to the amusement park. Coco is a very good girl."
"good."
Lin Rui smiled and patted Coco's little head.
Hearing this, no one paid any attention.
To be precise, everyone could tell that Lin Zhou was lying; his acting was so bad that it was really not flattering.
As for your claim that there is a witness named Coco?
Wake up!
Do you have some misunderstanding about the definition of a witness?
Dong Juan placed two plates of fruit on the table and began chatting with everyone.
The vast majority of the topics discussed were related to the disaster in their hometown.
Nowadays, even official channels are reporting the latest developments on television in real time, with people sitting around the TV and expressing their opinions from time to time.
"I only found out this morning from my WeChat Moments that Xiao Pan went to the scene to put out the fire last night."
"It's a real loss of life, and it's heartbreaking for the Pan family, who have to bury their child."
"This is all the fault of those scoundrels! If it weren't for the illegal operations, how could this major accident have happened!"
"I heard that Sister Niu almost did something drastic and was about to jump into the river, but luckily she was stopped."
Everyone sighed in dismay.
When Lao Pan and Sister Niu were mentioned, the eldest brother, Lin Zhong, immediately took out his phone and opened a video in his WeChat Moments.
Upon opening the video, one can hear intense, agonizing wails.
"Panzi, you wanted to go to Xuanzhou to learn how to make games, but your mother wouldn't let you go and insisted that you take the civil service exam!"
"If it weren't for Mom, you wouldn't have been assigned to the fire department, and you wouldn't have died!"
"Panzi, I'm so sorry!"
In the video, Sister Niu is being pulled back by a group of people to prevent her from rushing into the fire.
The woman in the video was in tears, on the verge of collapse.
This man-made fire not only consumed the property of the people, but also many precious lives, and destroyed countless happy families!
It wasn't just Sister Niu who was on the verge of collapse.
On Douyin alone, there are at least a dozen different family filming clips.
Among them are elderly people who are waiting to be cared for, pregnant women who are about to give birth, or wives who have just received their marriage certificates and are preparing for their honeymoon.
The pillar of our family is gone!
This family was also torn apart!
Although the fire has been brought under control, it has not yet been extinguished, making the rescue operation quite passive.
In fact, many people know that those who are currently trapped in the fire are likely in grave danger.
Even in the worst-case scenario, the living still hope to bring out the remains and belongings of the victims.
They should not be reduced to ashes. No matter how intense the fire, it cannot erase their achievements, nor can it erase the traces of their existence!
They are heroes!
The fire was not completely extinguished until 8:43 p.m., leaving behind a scene of devastation.
In a short time, a large number of firefighters and medical personnel entered the ruins.
One by one, charred corpses were carried out, most of them burned beyond recognition, and some were reduced to mere remains.
This scene made the already somber atmosphere even heavier for those present.
The scene was not broadcast live, and an incomplete report was not released by the authorities until noon the following day.
This accident resulted in 435 deaths!
72 people are missing!
2,983 people were injured!
Nearly 800 people are seriously injured!
The explosion affected 689 buildings!
38,990 vehicles were damaged!
Other property damage is still being tallied!
The preliminary estimate of direct economic losses from the accident is nearly 30 billion yuan!
Seeing these shocking numbers, anyone who isn't heartless would feel heavy-hearted.
Just as everyone was immersed in grief, a video inexplicably went viral online.
In the video, a young girl with alternating red and green hair is cursing at the camera.
"So what if a few people die? Every day someone dies. Why should the game be shut down for three days?"
"Besides, that's Xia Prefecture's business, what does it have to do with our Xuan Prefecture! Hurry up and open the server for this grandma!"
