After listening to Pan Chengjun's words, Lu Yiwei was relieved. He understood that there were some things that he could not give, not even Pan Chengjun. What Tong Xin needed now was someone to rely on, a warm harbor.
Lu Yiwei returned to the bed and lit a cigarette. He took two deep puffs and said, "Old Pan, I'm not against you two being together. I even thought of letting you two be together. It was not easy for Tong Huan to get to where she is today. Even without the previous incident, I've always treated her as my own sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed Dezhi over to her. I have nothing to say to you. I just hope that you treat her well and don't hurt her again. "
Pan Chengjun hesitated. "Don't worry, Yiwei. I'll definitely treat Tong Huan well."
"That's good." Lu Yiwei said, "Are you holding the wedding in Fujian or here?"
Pan Chengjun said, "Tong Huan just wants to treat her friends and family to a meal. As for the ceremony, there's no need for anything. But I think Tong Huan has never been married before. I want to give her a different wedding. After much consideration, I plan to bring her to the Maldives. "
"Good!" Lu Yiwei agreed. "Nothing can be missing from the wedding. We'll do what others do. I'll be there when the time comes. Old Pan, it's your fortune to marry Tong Huan. I'll entrust her to you. "
"Mhmm." Pan Chengjun nodded.
Lu Yiwei suddenly laughed and punched his chest. "Don't look so sad. You should be happy."
Pan Chengjun forced a smile.
"Alright. Isn't Tong Huan alone at home? Hurry up and go take care of her."
"What about you …"
"I'm fine. Hurry up and go."
Pan Chengjun stood up. "Then I'll go first. I'll treat you another day. I know you'll be busy these two days."
"Alright. Stop joking. Hurry up and go."
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei called out to Pan Chengjun, "Old Pan, do you know what that old thing Ding Changhua is doing now?"
Pan Chengjun turned around and said, "Ever since Lin Haifeng was transferred to Jiangdong City, he also moved his company from Beizhou City to Jiangdong City. He used to have projects in Jiangdong City, and I heard that he has already gotten the construction project of the stadium from Lin Haifeng. He's ready to do something big in Jiangdong City. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said, "Old Pan, with your intelligence, it should be easy for you to get rid of someone. There are some things that I can't do personally, so I'll leave it to you. You must avenge Tong Huan. "
Pan Chengjun said solemnly, "Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I know what to do."
Lu Yiwei said worriedly, "No matter what you do, you must let me know. If there are any mistakes, I can still think of a way to remedy it. That old thing Ding Changhua is especially cunning. Moreover, he has Lin Haifeng as his backing, and I heard that he has connections with the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhang Bingtong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get away with exposing the mining disaster in Nanyang County so easily. To deal with such a person, it's nothing more than fighting the strong with the weak. But no one is perfect, and there will always be a weakness. Either you don't do it, or you do it, you have to kill him. "
"Mm, I understand."
"Alright, this matter can't be explained once or twice. There's still a long way to go, we'll discuss this in the future. You should go back first."
After sending Pan Chengjun off, Lu Yiwei went into the bathroom to take a shower and sat on the sofa dizzily. Fan Chunfang placed a bowl of steaming hot noodles in front of him and said, "You must be hungry, eat while it's hot."
Lu Yiwei was indeed hungry. He almost fainted when he was taking a shower, so he picked up the bowl and ate without caring about his image.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he was full of energy. Seeing Fan Chunfang sitting there with an unhappy face, he knew what she was thinking. He deliberately leaned forward and hugged her. "Chunfang, are you angry?"
Fan Chunfang said hypocritically, "No, why would I be angry? Isn't this good?"
Lu Yiwei said, "I know what you're thinking. Actually, you should understand me and Tong Huan. Tong Huan's life is really tough. She came to Jiangdong City to work hard without anyone to rely on. She worked hard to earn money and still had to pay for her younger sister and brother's schooling. It's already not easy for her to get to where she is today.
"To be honest, I really like Tong Huan. If it wasn't for the secular world, we would have been together. It's all in the past, and I don't have the same feelings for her anymore. I only treat her as a family member, just like Lingling. So, I hope you'll pay more attention to her in the future and hang out with her often. "
After listening to Lu Yiwei's heartfelt words, Fan Chunfang understood the hidden feelings in his heart. She turned around and said, "I just heard Old Pan say that Tong Huan is infertile. Is that true?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei nodded weakly.
"Sigh!" Fan Chunfang said with a weak look in her eyes, "Losing the ability to have children is a cruel reality for women. Moreover, Tong Huan is so young and beautiful. Is there no chance to save her?"
"You should ask her about this. If it wasn't for Old Pan, I wouldn't have known."
Fan Chunfang was kind-hearted and said, "I'll treat her as a sister in the future. Actually, I've always wanted a sibling, but where can I find a daughter? Sigh! Tong Huan's life is really tough. "
"Thank you for your sincerity and kindness."
Fan Chunfang said seriously, "Yiwei, how many more things are you hiding from me? Can you tell me?"
Lu Yiwei said calmly, "That's all."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then what about Xia Jinhe?"
At the mention of Xia Jinhe, Lu Yiwei's expression changed greatly, scaring Fan Chunfang. She quickly said, "Don't be angry. Just pretend I didn't say anything." After that, she picked up the bowl on the table and went into the kitchen.
When Fan Chunfang came out again, she saw Lu Yiwei getting dressed and asked, "Where are you going? It's lunch time soon. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Prepare a generous gift for me and a red packet of 5000 RMB. I have a use for it."
"Oh." Fan Chunfang did not ask further. She handed the things to Lu Yiwei and said, "Are you coming back for lunch?"
"I'll be back in a while."
Lu Yiwei carried the things downstairs and drove straight to Jinxiu Mansion. Although Cai Runnian had lost his former elegance, Lu Yiwei could not forget him. After all, Cai Runnian was his university professor and had helped him before. As a person who valued friendship and righteousness, he could not forget this friendship with the change of his identity. Others could do this, but not him.
As mentioned earlier, Jinxiu Mansion was currently the most luxurious residential area in Jiangdong. It was luxurious not only because of the beautiful environment and high prices, but most importantly, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary used to live here, so the price of the house had naturally doubled. Nowadays, the people were still feudal and servile. They thought that living in the same area as the Provincial Party Committee Secretary could bring them some happiness. Was that so?
After Huang Jiyang was transferred, his villa was empty. The newly appointed Secretary Zhang Bingtong maintained a simple style and still lived in the Family Compound of the Municipal Party Committee. Without the provincial leader, the celestial atmosphere of the place was suddenly blown away. Who knew how many people would be willing to buy a house in such a remote place.
When he arrived at Jinxiu Mansion, it was indeed deserted. In the past, the security guards were like guarding a prison, not even a fly could fly in. But now, the gate was wide open, the security guards were nowhere to be seen, and even the original barricade was gone. Vehicles could enter and exit freely. Now, it seemed that the original service was for one person. With that person gone, even the most basic security had become mediocre.
Lu Yiwei drove in easily. The former tennis court was no longer maintained, and there was a hole in the iron fence. It must have been a long time since anyone played there. Looking at the beautiful villas, many of them had their doors tightly shut, and few people came in or out. Some even had for sale advertisements on the walls. This luxurious residential area had completely declined.
When he arrived at Cai Runnian's house, he saw that the curtains were closed, and the door was full of garbage. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time. Did Cai Runnian move away?
Lu Yiwei went to the security room and asked around. After Secretary Huang was transferred, Cai Runnian moved out. The property rights of the villa belonged to the Provincial Office Affairs Bureau. How could he not vacate the house when they asked him to? It was said that he had returned to his original place.
Lu Yiwei turned back and came to the Staff Compound of Xijiang University. The house in the compound was built in the 1960s. The walls were peeling, and it was very bleak. However, because of the cultural atmosphere, it still maintained a bit of antique charm.
Lu Yiwei was thinking that Cai Runnian had lived the life of a rich family. Would he be able to adapt to returning to this tube-shaped apartment? It was hard to imagine.
Upstairs, Lu Yiwei tried to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened. It was the teacher's wife who opened the door. When she saw Lu Yiwei, she was stunned for a moment. Instantly, she smiled and said, "Yiwei is here."
"Teacher's wife, Happy New Year." Lu Yiwei poked his head in and asked, "Is Professor Cai not at home?"
"Yes, yes!" After saying that, he turned around and shouted into the house, "Old Cai, Yiwei is here to see you."
Cai Runnian ran out of the study in a panic. He took off his reading glasses and said, "Yiwei is here. Come in quickly."
Cai Runnian was old. His hair was silver, and his face was full of wrinkles. He used to be so glorious. His hair was black, and his face was white and chubby like a white steamed bun. He was surrounded by a large group of people, and he enjoyed the treatment of a provincial or ministerial leader. But now, he was back to the past, and he was more simple and innocent.
The teacher's wife did not know how to entertain Lu Yiwei. She took out all the good things she could find and piled them on the coffee table, urging him to eat. The teacher's wife had also changed a lot. The last time they met, she was wearing silk pajamas and jewelry. Now, she was dressed in plain clothes, and walking on the street was no different from an ordinary old lady.
The house was quiet, and the ashtray was clean, which meant that no one had been here. When Cai Runnian served Huang Jiyang, he also promoted a lot of people. These people did not ask for much, but at the very least, they should be grateful. Seeing Cai Runnian, Lu Yiwei understood what it meant to be cold when the person was gone. Lu Yiwei sighed. Would he be like this after he retired in the future?
Logically speaking, Cai Runnian had received a lot of benefits when he was in his prime, and it was more than enough to buy a suite in Jiangdong. But why did he come back to this apartment?
Cai Runnian was also very excited. He rummaged through the cabinets and cabinets to take out his precious cigarettes. He opened them with trembling hands and handed them to Lu Yiwei. "Come, come, come. Have a good one."
Lu Yiwei took it and lit it. "Professor Cai quit smoking?"
