"Chen Xing, do you want to stay for lunch?" Xue Jinbao broke the silence and said with a smile, "Don't tell me that you asked Zheng Jing to help you call him over and then leave after you finished your business. This morning, Zheng Jing called us immediately after receiving your call and said that you specifically said that you wanted to eat at home. In the morning, you took Yunlu to the vegetable market and made me a coolie. Look at the big and small bags of vegetables on the ground, they were all brought back by me."
Xue Jinbao deliberately picked a relaxed tone. He knew that now that Zheng Jing and Sun Yunlu knew Chen Xing's identity, they might not be able to treat this old classmate as casually as before.
"Since you said so, if I don't stay for lunch at noon, I will be sorry to the three of you." Chen Xing smiled. As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing, I'll be counting on you for lunch.
"No, no. This time, I can finally make a good meal to entertain the three of you. I am very happy." Zheng Jing's face was full of smiles. "A few days ago, I was in a hurry, so I could only let you eat noodles. To be honest, I have been feeling very sorry."
"Tsk, Zheng Jing, you are like this. You are too polite and always bear such a small thing in your heart." Xue Jinbao smiled and curled his lips. "As an old classmate, I have to criticize you."
"Okay, okay, I will accept the criticism humbly." Zheng Jing smiled and said, "I think I'd better hurry to the kitchen, or you will be hungry again at noon."
After saying that, Zheng Jing walked quickly to the kitchen. Inadvertently, she glanced at Chen Xing with a shocked expression. At this moment, she still could not calm down.
Only Chen Xing, Xue Jinbao, and Sun Yunlu were left in the living room. Sun Yunlu's eyes kept moving back and forth on Chen Xing. After a while, she said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that there was such an amazing person among our classmates. I still can't believe it."
"Yunlu, that's because you don't watch the news. Otherwise, you might have known that there is such an amazing person among your classmates." Xue Jinbao smiled. "Chen Xing used to be the mayor and the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. I have seen him on the news a lot."
"I usually watch some useless soap operas on TV. I don't pay attention to the news at all." Sun Yunlu shook her head and smiled.
The friendship between classmates had nothing to do with identity or status. Otherwise, it would change. Yun Lu, don't think of me as someone different. I'm still me. Chen Xing smiled.
As they chatted, Xue Jinbao joked with them from time to time, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. After sitting for a while, Sun Yunlu went to the kitchen to help. About half an hour later, six fragrant dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Zheng Jing took out two bottles of red wine from the wine cabinet. The wine cabinet, which had not been opened for a long time, was already covered in a layer of dust. Zheng Jing was a little emotional. Ever since her husband's accident, no one had opened the wine cabinet again. Today, when she opened the wine cabinet again, it was as if the clouds had been pushed away and the light of day had been seen again.
Chen Xing, I know you must have helped my husband. Otherwise, Li Xiangda would not have suddenly changed his attitude. I don't know how to thank you for this. If I continue to be polite and thank you, you will say that I am treating you like an outsider. I won't say anything unnecessary. Today, I have to propose a toast to you no matter what. Zheng Jing opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for herself. Then she stood up to pour a glass for Chen Xing.
Zheng Jing, forget about the wine. Let's change to something else. Chen Xing covered his glass helplessly. You know the nature of my work. I am afraid that I have something to do in the afternoon, so I really can't drink this wine. Also, I really didn't tell you about your husband, so it has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank me, I really can't afford it.
It really has nothing to do with you? Zheng Jing didn't believe him.
What's the point of lying to you? Chen Xing shook his head slightly. You said that the other party's attitude changed very suddenly. I also don't understand it. I think we can only know by asking them.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Zheng Jing didn't know what to say for a moment. After knowing Chen Xing's identity, she was sure that Chen Xing must have helped them secretly. Otherwise, Li Xiangda would not have suddenly changed his attitude. However, at this moment, Zheng Jing was undoubtedly puzzled by Chen Xing's words.
Chen Xing, I think that Li seems to know you. Could it be that he knows your identity and that you are Zheng Jing's classmate, so his attitude changed? Xue Jinbao guessed.
I don't know. It's meaningless to talk about it. Let's eat. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Yes, eat while it's hot. Otherwise, it won't taste good when it's cold. Zheng Jing nodded hurriedly.
Zheng Jing seemed to be in a good mood as she served Chen Xing and the others. She kept saying that she would be able to pick up her parents-in-law and children to stay with them in the afternoon. Due to the debtors who came to make trouble at home a few nights ago, she had specially asked her parents-in-law to bring the children to the countryside to stay for a few days, fearing that there would be more people coming to make trouble. She did not expect that the situation would change so suddenly. The gloomy and gloomy matter suddenly had hope to be resolved.
As long as your husband is innocent, the law will definitely give him a clean bill. Chen Xing said with a smile.
I didn't dare to hope before, but now that I have a classmate like you, I'm really confident. Zheng Jing smiled. Thinking of the scene when Li Xiangda was taken away, Zheng Jing quietly glanced at Chen Xing and couldn't control her curiosity. She asked. Chen Xing, you took Li Xiangda away to investigate his father?
Not to arrest him, but to take him away to assist in the investigation. As for what the investigation was, it was not convenient to say now. If there was any case in the future, the authorities would report it. Chen Xing said.
Zheng Jing, don't ask anything about Chen Xing's work. If you ask him, he will definitely not answer. Xue Jinbao teased.
Then I won't ask anymore, lest I make things difficult for Chen Xing. Zheng Jing nodded understandingly.
While they were talking, Chen Xing's cell phone rang. Chen Xing picked it up and saw that it was Jiang Haijun. He immediately picked it up. Haijun, what's up?
Deputy Team Leader Chen, Li Xiangda ran away. Jiang Haijun's anxious voice came from the phone.
Ran away? How could you let him run away? Chen Xing bolted up from his seat.
Just now, Li Xiangda kept saying that he wanted to go to the toilet, and the car was noisy. When we passed by a public toilet, we thought that with five people watching him, it was impossible to let him run away, so we got out of the car. We didn't know that there were people he knew … Jiang Haijun briefly explained the situation. He didn't have time to say more. At the moment, it was up to Chen Xing to decide how to deal with this sudden accident.
