After coming out of Su Qiming's room, Lu Yiwei didn't know how to vent his anger. How could his fate be so sad? His previous marriage was the result of a political marriage, and now this marriage inevitably fell into the same pattern. Su Qiming's strong objection reminded him of his ex-wife's father, Li Dengke, who was the vice chairman of the county People's Political Consultative Conference, who humiliated him, "Lu Yiwei, I can't deny that you used to be excellent, but what are you now? According to your current state, do you think you can give Shu Man happiness? You have to know yourself. Ending this marriage early is a relief for you, for me, for Shu Man, and even for our children. "
If he still had some nostalgia for his ex-wife a few days ago, when he thought of these words, the ripples in his heart had already disappeared.
Back home, Lu Yiwei wanted to call Su Meng, but he dialed the number several times and hung up in a hurry. Lying on the sofa, he looked at the wedding photo of his ex-wife on the wall, and his heart was too reluctant.
His mood was terrible to the extreme, and he planned to go out to vent. He picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Niu Fuyong. At this moment, his mobile phone rang.
When Lu Yiwei saw that it was the deputy mayor of Beihe Town, Shi Xiaoman, he hesitated and didn't know whether he should answer the phone or not. After hesitating again and again, he still picked up.
"Hello, Mayor Lu, where are you?" Shi Xiaoman's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Yiwei raised his spirit and said: "Where can I be, at home! Why, are you checking my post? "
"Haha …" Shi Xiaoman laughed heartily and said: "How can I dare to check your post? Do you have anything to do tonight?"
Lu Yiwei doubtfully said: "Tonight … I should be free. Why, do you want to invite me to dinner?"
"You guessed right!" Shi Xiaoman said: "My husband and I talked about it. I brought you unnecessary trouble last time, and decided to invite you to my house tonight as an apology."
Lu Yiwei laughed and said: "It's not a big deal. Besides, I don't care about it. If you invite me to dinner because of this, I'm sorry, I won't go."
"Don't!" Shi Xiaoman was a little anxious: "Well, do I have to find an excuse to invite you to dinner because of this?"
Shi Xiaoman's initiative made Lu Yiwei a little uncomfortable: "Forget it, I'll invite you and your wife. You decide the place and inform me when the time comes."
"What restaurant? You said to come to my house, it's up to you whether you want to come or not." Lu Yiwei angrily hung up the phone.
Lu Yiwei recalled Shi Xiaoman's smile and frown, and his mood became much better. If he was eating alone with her, Lu Yiwei would definitely not say anything. But now that her husband was sandwiched in the middle, it was more or less awkward. In any case, it was the first time, Lu Lu, Lu Family invited him.
In the afternoon, Lu Yiwei covered himself with the quilt and slept soundly. When he received Shi Xiaoman's call again, he got up and cleaned up. He went to the supermarket to buy some fruits and walked to Shi Xiaoman's house.
Shi Xiaoman's house was easy to find, and it didn't take Lu Yiwei much effort to locate it. After entering the door, Shi Xiaoman's husband, Cao Xiaolei, welcomed them warmly. He handed them cigarettes and poured them tea, which made Lu Yiwei feel a little embarrassed.
Cao Xiaolei is an employee of the county's food processing plant. This half-dead unit was one of the most popular units in the 1970s and 1980s. It is not inferior to the current urban construction, environmental protection, and other departments. But now, it is struggling to survive in the cracks and has become a burden to the county government. The county government wants to get rid of this burden as soon as possible, but the 50 to 60 employees are waiting for their pitiful wages to support their families. The county government has tried to reform the system several times, but it was rejected by this group of "professional petitioners".
Their workplace was not good, their social status was not high, and they were too embarrassed to greet others when they went out. Their lack of confidence was clearly written on this group of "vulnerable groups" who were on the verge of being laid off.
Lu Yiwei carefully looked around Shi Xiaoman's house. Basically, his thoughts were the same. This family's life was relatively poor. All the furniture was old-fashioned, and aside from a new TV, there were no decent home appliances. Lu Yiwei could not understand why Shi Xiaoman would fall for Cao Xiaolei.
Cao Xiaolei smiled apologetically and said, "Mayor Lu, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I caused you last time. Please forgive me."
Lu Yiwei pretended to be angry. "Don't mention the past. Furthermore, this is something that must happen. I, Lu Yiwei, am not that kind of person."
Perhaps because of his lack of confidence, Cao Xiaolei consciously lowered his posture and said, "Everyone says that you, Lu Yiwei, are an upright and upright person who upholds justice. Seeing you today, it is indeed so. Let's have a drink with each other tonight. "
Shi Xiaoman came out of the kitchen with the dishes and smiled. "Didn't I tell you that Mayor Lu is not that kind of person? You didn't believe me. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Hurry up and prepare the bowls and chopsticks."
Lu Yiwei watched Shi Xiaoman's every move with the help of the light. She was mature and charming, especially when she wore a light blue sweater, which lightly outlined the attractive curves of her chest. It was firm and full, and she did not look like she had given birth to a child at all. The moment she turned around, Shi Xiaoman unconsciously twisted her hips, and her butt swayed left and right. Lu Yiwei intentionally or unintentionally looked at her a few more times.
When it came to women, Lu Yiwei did not have much choice. He didn't have Niu Fuyong's universal love, and he had played with all kinds of women. He also didn't have Li Haidong's impulsive thirst, and he would go for any woman he saw. He liked women who were more reserved, just like Shi Xiaoman in front of him. Every time she looked at him, she would immediately avoid his gaze. He couldn't understand the meaning behind her gaze, but he was sure that there was a telepathic connection between them. She didn't need to express or speak much to send a signal. This signal was something only he knew in his heart.
On the way here, Lu Yiwei was wondering if Shi Xiaoman really invited him to dinner to apologize. His intuition told him that it was not that simple.
Cao Xiaolei came out of the inner room with two bottles of white wine. He put one bottle in front of Lu Yiwei and said, "The wine is not good. I hope Mayor Lu won't take it to heart. I've heard that you have a good tolerance for alcohol. Today, I'll risk my life to accompany you.
Lu Yiwei looked at Cao Xiaolei's frail body. He did not look like someone who could drink a liter of wine. "Since this is a family banquet, there is no need for such formalities. Drink as much as you can. You are not accompanying a leader. Is there a need to risk your life?"
Cao Xiaolei quickly said. "Why are you not a leader? If it was in the past, how could I invite you to my house for dinner? But now … "
Hearing that Cao Xiaolei's words were a little overboard, Shi Xiaoman quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Mayor Lu, please don't take offense. My husband means that you are a busy person, and he will have to queue up to treat you to a meal. You are giving me face by coming over today."
