In fact, many people in the Xu family may care about Xu Xingmin's whereabouts, but few people really care about big brother in this so-called core circle of children.
However, Xu Xinglong and Xu Xinlan must be exceptions.
Even with Su Rui's insight, it is rare to see such an impersonal family - they seem to be linked only by interests, and the feelings between them and their eldest brother seem to be far inferior to those of his disciples.
Su Rui thought of this and shook his head.
"What's the matter? Is it still very difficult?" Xu Xinlan asked again.
"In fact, what I have is not evidence, but just some inference." Su Rui said, "you all go back first. When there is definite news, I will tell you."
"OK, I'll do my best to help you if you need me." Xu Xinglong patted his chest and said that he was obviously in a very good mood.
Xu Xinlan glanced at her second brother. Su Rui saw a clear color of doubt from her eyes. It seemed that she still hadn't dispelled her doubts about her second brother.
"Su Rui, no matter what, I'm very grateful to you this time." Xu Xinlan looked at Su Rui's eyes carefully, "thank you for helping Jingxi, and thank you for saving the Xu family."
"You're welcome." Su Rui said to Xu Xinlan, "aunt LAN, you all go back to bed early. Since I promised you, I will help you to the end."
"OK, it's hard for you." Xu Xinlan turned to Xu Jingxi and little Wutong and said, "you two sisters take good care of Su Rui."
"Well." Xu Jingxi nodded, and then she took a deep look at her second uncle.
At this time, she suddenly felt that it seemed that this matter might not have much to do with the second uncle. His eyes were so eager that Xu Jingxi felt that such eagerness could not be disguised.
"Jingxi, I know you've been suspicious of me all these years, but the disappearance of brother really has nothing to do with me." Xu Xinglong stopped explaining, and instead said to Su Rui, "Su Shao, please."
Xu Huanxi also wanted to stay, but he was dragged away by his father.
Well, she has to repair the smashed cayenne.
…………
Back in the room, little Wutong's two eyes were still shining with little stars: "brother-in-law, you are so awesome! I didn't expect that the most beautiful retrograde figure was you!"
The little girl's heart looks really strong, and she soon forgot her previous unhappiness.
Su Rui smiled helplessly, "Alas, I forgot to wear a mask again."
He thought it had been a while and the heat should drop, but he didn't expect that a bunch of relatives of the Xu family recognized him.
Little Wutong held her sister's arm: "sister, I didn't expect you to have such a good eye for choosing a boyfriend! With such a brother-in-law, I'm also proud! I don't know when Qin ranlong's bastard can be as excellent as my brother-in-law!"
Su Rui heard the words and laughed: "so you and Qin ranlong have been in love?"
Little Wutong realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his pretty face immediately blushed: "how can it be, just his rascal, how can I see him?"
"Really?" Su Rui laughed, and his face was full of ridicule.
In fact, little Wutong's feelings for Qin ranlong are clearly written on his face. In the future, if Qin ranlong doesn't mess around outside, the two may get married.
In the past, old man Qin still paid much attention to his family background, but after the marriage robbery incident of Su Rui, the old man also took a lot of light on these things, and would not interfere too much in the marriage of his eldest grandson.
"Brother in law, you are so annoying." Little Wutong stamped his feet, and his pretty face was already red.
"Little Wutong, go out first. Su Rui and I have something to say." Xu Jingxi paused, and the hesitation between his eyes was obvious: "also, you will call brother Rui later, he is not your brother-in-law."
Xu Jingxi didn't want to hide it from little Wutong, although the latter didn't believe it.
It can't be said why. After saying this sentence, Xu Jingxi's heart flashed a sense of loss.
This loss is inexplicable, at least in her opinion.
"Sister, are you kidding? Did you quarrel with my brother-in-law?" Little Wutong said, and was stunned, because she suddenly saw that her sister's expression was very serious.
"What... What's going on?" Little Wutong was confused.
Su Rui shook his head and smiled. Xu Jingxi then said, "Su Rui and I are pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Do you understand?"
"Oh, oh, oh, I see." Seeing her sister's so solemn explanation of this matter, little Wutong didn't doubt it any more. After hesitating for a while, she said, "it's just that why did I feel a little lost when I heard you say so?"
Well, she really wants to make su Rui her brother-in-law - and she is also a national hero. How proud it is.
"No, I think I have to be quiet." Little Wutong said and went out.
Xu Jingxi closed the bedroom door, then looked at Su Rui and sat by the bed.
"Why did you suddenly tell little Wutong the truth?" Su Rui said with a smile.
"Because... In fact, there is no need to pretend to be a boyfriend and girlfriend." Xu Jingxi said.
It's really unnecessary.
Su Rui has made clear his identity. Regardless of his background, the Xu family can also associate a lot of things with the name of this national hero. Moreover, with Su Rui's ability to scare off the representatives of Sampo capital in a few words, no one in the Xu family dares to make a mistake at all, and no one dares to bully Xu Jingxi sisters again.
In this case, it doesn't matter whether Xu Jingxi is Su Rui's girlfriend.
"That's true." Su Rui nodded. Xu Jingxi's analysis of some things was still very thorough. However, Su Rui could also see that the girl's mood now seemed to be a little complicated.
"I think the distance between us is quite far." Xu Jingxi adjusted her mood and said what she thought, "now... It seems to be farther away from you."
"Why do you feel this way?" Su Rui joked, "aren't I right beside you now?"
"No, it's different." Xu Jingxi gave Su Rui a slightly complicated look.
Su Rui shook his head helplessly, "is it because I am so charming that I have aroused your vigilance?"
Xu Huanxi smiled, and now her smile became lighter: "yes, you may not know how charming you are."
What Su Rui doesn't know is that there is no suitable word to describe Xu Huanxi's gratitude to him at this moment.
"Little Wutong just seemed a little unable to accept the news." Su Rui touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "it seems that my charm is really great."
After a pause, Xu Jingxi said, "this may be..."
With that, she stopped talking.
Yes, she wanted to say that this might be the simplest hope in little Wutong's heart, but after thinking about it, she still felt that this sentence contained some unclear meanings, and she still refrained from saying it.
"Let's talk about my father." Xu Huan Xi closed his mind and said, "did you say you had a clue to appease them?"
"Pacify?" Hearing this, Su Rui chuckled, "Jingxi, it's not worth it for such a family."
Previously, Su Rui, an outsider, couldn't stand what the Xu family did. Xu Jingxi's heart must have been broken.
"I know." Xu Jingxi nodded deeply, "from now on, I will never have any expectations for them."
"I really have a little speculation about your father." Su Rui said, "however, it may not be time for the truth to surface."
"Let's talk about it." Xu Jingxi looks into Su Rui's eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly felt nervous.
Su Rui instinctively lowered his head and looked at her undulating chest. Then he realized that he shouldn't be staring at somewhere, so he withdrew his eyes and said, "the more you are like this, the more I can't tell you. It's not good to worry."
Xu Jingxi's face darkened slightly, because she had felt a little bad from Su Rui's words - it was obvious that Su Rui was worried that Xu Jingxi might be overwhelmed by his inference, so she didn't say it.
"My father has been missing for nearly three years. During these three years, I entrusted many people to look for him, but there was no news." Xu Jingxi's shell teeth gently bit his lips, "so I'm really prepared."
Her subtext is very obvious, that is... My father may be gone.
Xu Jingxi has already made this preparation, and she also knows that this has basically become a reality.
"No, what I mean may be different from what you think." Su Rui gently patted Xu Jingxi on the shoulder, "don't be too pessimistic. Maybe things are completely different from what you think."
After hearing Su Rui's words, Xu Jingxi's eyes showed surprise. Then, a little light began to condense in her eyes.
That is the color of hope.
"Prepare for the worst, but always hope for the best." Su Rui said with a smile, and then turned and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Xu Jingxi shouted behind Su Rui.
"I'll go out for a walk." Su Rui looked back and smiled, "take a tour of Sichuan city."
Xu Jingxi vaguely thought of something: "the sun is going to set. Is it too dangerous? I'd better accompany you."
She is still very worried about Su Rui, who will lure the sniper with his body as bait!
"You just stay in the old house." Su Rui smiled. "Don't worry, I've made relevant arrangements. You won't be attacked here."
"We won't, but you will." Xu Jingxi took a step forward. She didn't ask Su Rui about the arrangement, but said firmly, "I'll go out with you."
