Night.
County's suburbs.
8 pm.
The sky was dark, and the moonlight was covered by the clouds.
Dong Xuebing drove into Jiang Fangfang's family estate. He thought for a while and drove his Land Rover out of the estate. He parked his car in an alley and walked into the estate. Everyone in Zhen Shui County knows that car belongs to Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had gone to Jiang Fangfang's mother's house because Jiang Fangfang's mother had Alzheimer's, and Dong Xuebing looked like Jiang Fangfang's late husband. That's why he was there to help Jiang Fangfang. This was not something that could be brought out in public, and he must keep a low profile.
Old building.
Dong Xuebing went upstairs and knocked on the door.
With a creak, the door opened.
It was Jiang Fangfang. She was dressed casually. She was wearing a pair of gym pants and a short-sleeved sports t-shirt.
"Sister Jiang … … Fangfang." Dong Xuebing quickly corrected himself.
Jiang Fangfang stepped aside to let Dong Xuebing in. "Come in. Look at your face."
Dong Xuebing was exhausted, but he forced a smile. "I am fine. I can rest after tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing from top to bottom. "I think you can't even last today. You can't delay your work, but your health is more important. If Old Zheng did not call me, I would not know about this. Have a seat. I will prepare something for you. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
"Then I will have leftovers."
"Haha, leftovers is better. Don't trouble yourself."
"Wait here. I will go to the kitchen to heat it up for you."
"No need. I will go to the kitchen myself. You should be tired."
But when Dong Xuebing was about to rush to the kitchen, his legs gave way. He wanted to walk forward, but his legs did not listen to him. He felt dizzy for a while.
Jiang Fangfang quickly helps him up. "I told you."
The bedroom door opened, and Jiang Fangfang's mother walked out. She was smiling at Dong Xuebing, but her expression changed. "Xiao Tao is here? Eh? What's wrong? What happened? "
Dong Xuebing helped Sister Jiang up and forced a smile. "Mum, I am fine."
Mrs. Jiang was very anxious. "You can't even stand properly. How can you call this fine?!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I had forgotten to eat. My blood sugar is low, and I will be fine after eating something."
Mother Jiang grumbled, "Look at you, look at you. You work so hard that you don't care about your life. Fangfang, what are you doing? Hurry up and heat up some food for your man!"
"Ok." Jiang Fangfang helped Dong Xuebing to a chair and entered the kitchen.
Mrs. Jiang asked about his well-being. "Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy? You, you just don't let me have a peace of mind. Look at how tired you are for our child. You don't even know how to take a break. How many days have you been busy? How could he forget to eat? You're really something. Drink some water. "
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
"Stop talking and drink it."
Dong Xuebing finished his glass of water and replied helplessly. "I have been busy with work these few days and had no choice. Everyone is relying on me. I had only worked overtime for a few days, and it's fine."
The microwave oven beeped.
Jiang Fangfang walked out of the kitchen. "It's not just a few days. I had been working for more than a week. I only return home after midnight and leave at 5 am."
Mrs. Jiang stared at Dong Xuebing. "You are risking your life! How can you do this?! " After saying that, he glared at his daughter. "You little girl, why don't you talk about your man? Fortunately, he's in our house. If he was driving outside, what would we do if he fainted? Something big will happen! "
Jiang Fangfang looks at Dong Xuebing. "Rest early after dinner."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Don't. I still need to go back. The investors …"
Jiang Fangfang slowly said. "You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Have a good rest."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "It's fine. I am worried about the contract signing tomorrow, and I still want to speak to the investors tonight to see if they have any concerns."
Ding! The microwave beeped, and the food was ready.
"I had said what I need to say, and I don't care if it's just one or two sentences. They had made up their minds, and you can't change their minds." Jiang Fangfang went to the kitchen to get the food.
Mother Jiang added, "Yeah, go to sleep after you're done eating. You're not allowed to leave. How can I trust you to drive when you're like this? If you're still not feeling well tomorrow, then stay home and don't move. How can you work so hard? Listen to me.
Dinner was served.
It was all leftovers from their dinner.
But Dong Xuebing did not care. Sister Jiang brought the dishes to the table, and Dong Xuebing picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was starving and only ate a tray of steamed buns, which was given to him by Yao Cui in the morning. After that, he did not eat anything else. Furthermore, he had been busy the whole day, and his stamina was drained. Within 3 minutes, he finished all the leftovers and even ate 3 steamed buns. Dong Xuebing's appetite had always been small, and this might be the biggest meal he had eaten in recent years.
"Ah … delicious."
"Swallow before you speak."
"Ok. I have swallowed. Do you have water, Fangfang?"
"Yes. I will get some hot water for you."
"No need. It's summer, and cold water is fine."
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang had an affair a long time ago, and the atmosphere at home is good. Dong Xuebing dares to order Mayor Jiang around. When Jiang Fangfang brought him the water, Dong Xuebing gulped down a large vat of water and covered his bulging tummy. He leaned back on the chair and enjoyed his meal.
Jiang Fangfang calmly said. "I will see if you still don't eat in the future."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I will not eat today. I was too busy. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten if I had eaten for lunch or dinner."
Mother Jiang laughed and said, "Mom is muddle-headed, but you're muddle-headed too?"
Jiang Fangfang replied. "He does not get enough sleep, and he only sleeps for 4 hours a day. He might be able to last for one or two days, but who can last for a week? Only Xiao Dong … Xiao Tao is fit. If it were someone else, they would have fainted. "After clearing the table, Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch." It's almost 9 pm. Go and rest, Xiao Tao. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "But the County Government …"
"Don't worry about it. Switch off your phone and rest. I will make a few calls." Jiang Fangfang placed the utensils in the kitchen and called Zheng Dayou. "Hello, Chief Zheng … it's me. Mayor Dong almost fainted earlier, and his body can't take it anymore. If anything happens at the Investment Promotion Agency tonight, you will take charge. Don't contact Mayor Dong. You can also call me … Yes, he is fine. I think he is just tired, and tell everyone not to worry. I will let him attend the contract signing meeting tomorrow morning … Ok. Thank you all for your hard work.
Ok … "Dong Xuebing knew he could not change his mind and could only stay.
