Liang Jing dragged her tired body back home. The house with three bedrooms and two living rooms was empty and lifeless. The child was taken care of by her husband and in-laws. Apart from not getting a divorce certificate, the couple was basically divorced. Liang Jing had forgotten how long they had been separated. Now that she had returned home, she had long been used to the loneliness of the house. Previously, she even liked such a free life. There were no restraints or restraints. She lived alone and was unrestrained. Apart from the child that she missed, she did not miss the relationship between husband and wife that she no longer had much affection for.
Qin Peng often came to her house, and the little lovers would have romantic dinners from time to time. Liang Jing enjoyed it and was happy to live alone. If she hadn't been separated from her husband, she wouldn't have been able to live such a free and comfortable life.
The couple had two houses under their names. The other one was for her parents-in-law and the child. The husband had a two-bedroom dormitory at the Party School. If the couple signed the divorce agreement in the future, there wouldn't be much dispute about the division of property. The house she lived in would belong to her, and she wouldn't ask for more. As for the child, although Liang Jing was reluctant to give it to her husband, she wouldn't have much objection. She didn't have time to take care of the child. Her parents died early. Even if she fought for the child, no one would take care of it. The child could only be taken care of by her husband. However, if there was no accident, the couple wouldn't really divorce. They would only continue to live like this. As a cadre, Liang Jing knew that divorce would have a little impact on her career. Deep in her heart, she just wanted to keep this kind of relationship, although she knew it was selfish of her.
She walked to the sofa and sat down. Liang Jing reclined on the back of the sofa with a depressed look. Qin Peng had been taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for several days. Although Li Kaishan helped her ask about it, there was no result. Liang Jing didn't know how much effort Li Kaishan had made. If Li Kaishan just gave her a perfunctory answer, Liang Jing knew she couldn't say anything.
Thinking of Li Kaishan saying that he had asked Chen Xing about Qin Peng, it was likely to be related to the recording. This speculation made Liang Jing's heart sink. Liang Jing could faintly feel what Li Kaishan was thinking. Maybe Li Kaishan had changed his mind after speculating this result and was not willing to make a real effort to get Qin Peng out.
Of course, this was just her wishful thinking, and there was no basis for it. Li Kaishan's shrewdness was something that even she, who could come into contact with him every day, could not really see through. This mayor, who was held hostage by Zhang Lixing and the others, was actually showing a more and more determined attitude. This was Liang Jing's own feeling.
An inaudible sigh echoed in the living room. Liang Jing's face looked more and more melancholy and gloomy in the dark living room without a trace of light.
Leaning against the sofa, she stared straight at the ceiling. Her pupils had no focus, and her eyes were dull. This was Liang Jing's state at this time. She looked worried and lost.
Liang Jing didn't even want to turn on the light in the room. She just wanted to stay quietly in the dark for a while. Qin Peng was an important spiritual pillar for her now, and the relationship with him was an important part of her spiritual life. Time passed day by day, just like the clock hanging on the wall of the living room. Every tick seemed to knock on the depths of her heart and the increasingly fragile nerves.
She hadn't had dinner yet, and she felt a little hungry. Liang Jing wondered if she should sit like this until dawn tonight. The cold room made her feel a trace of coldness seeping out from her bones. It was said that a woman's sixth sense was very accurate, but Liang Jing didn't dare to think about it, because she had a hunch that she might not see Qin Peng again. This intuition made her afraid and unwilling to think about it. She avoided it like an ostrich.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was a dignified director of the Municipal Government Office. At the age of 30, she was already a divisional cadre and sat in the position of director of the Municipal Government Office, which was deeply trusted by the leaders. Liang Jing knew that many people envied her. From the districts, counties (cities), and even the leaders of various departments, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with her. She seemed to be dignified and had a certain amount of power, but when it came to the matter of Qin Peng, she seemed so at a loss and powerless.
The phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the living room. Liang Jing seemed to be startled. She stroked her chest and looked at the sound of the phone coming from her bag. She sighed softly and got up to take out the phone. When she saw the number, Liang Jing frowned, calmed down, put on a smile, and picked up the phone.
"Mayor, why are you calling me so late?" There was a smile in Liang Jing's voice.
"Where are you? Why did you run away after work? " Zhang Lixing's voice came from the phone.
"I'm a little tired today. I just got off work and came back." Liang Jing answered quietly.
"Why are you tired? Is it because you lack men recently? " Zhang Lixing smirked.
"Mayor, you are so improper." Liang Jing smiled helplessly. She didn't need to look to know what a wretched smile Zhang Lixing would have on his face at the moment.
"How can I be improper? I care about you, don't I?" Zhang Lixing smiled. "You are at home, aren't you? Well, I'll go to your place tonight. I'll go there now and have dinner at your house in the evening. As a leader, I care about you so much. I have to entertain in the evening, so I especially put it off to see you. "
"Mayor, the entertainment is important. Don't delay it. You can come to my place at any time." Liang Jing forced a smile on her face. She was uneasy and was not in the mood to fool around with Zhang Lixing. She also hoped that Zhang Lixing would not come.
The entertainment was important. As a leader, it was also important to care about her subordinates. "That's settled. I'll go to your place tonight. I'll go there by car now." Zhang Lixing said with a smile.
Liang Jing still wanted to say something, but Zhang Lixing had hung up the phone. Liang Jing sat with the phone in a daze. Zhang Lixing's voice with a wretched smile echoed in her ears. Thinking that Zhang Lixing would arrive in a while, Liang Jing felt uncomfortable. Zhang Lixing hadn't come for some days. Liang Jing fully knew that Zhang Lixing wanted to do that again, so he wanted to come to her place. "Care about your subordinates? What the hell?" She had never seen Zhang Lixing show a kind side to his subordinates.
With a sigh, Liang Jing looked at the time. She just came back for a while. It was only a little past six o 'clock. It was already dark outside. The doors and windows were closed, and it was almost impossible to see her fingers in front of her. She got up to turn on the light. When the bright light exploded, Liang Jing slightly squinted her eyes. She was not used to it.
The spacious living room and the dining room next to the kitchen were a little messy. They hadn't cleaned up for several days. Newspapers and magazines were randomly placed on the tea table. On the dining table were bowls and chopsticks from yesterday morning. Liang Jing gently touched her forehead, feeling a little annoyed. Since she was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection from Qin Peng, she seemed to have lost her soul. She was too lazy to clean up the house. Now that she was back home, she didn't feel comfortable and free like she used to live alone. Her heart was empty.
Zhang Lixing was coming. Liang Jing reluctantly went to clean up the table. She didn't know if there were any dishes in the fridge. She hadn't been to the market for several days and hadn't opened the fridge for several days. Yesterday, she just cooked some porridge and ate it with a can of pickled mustard on the table. She hadn't cooked for several days, including today.
Throwing the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, Liang Jing didn't bother to wash them. She walked out of the kitchen and stood there with a blank face. After standing there for a while, she knocked her head with a headache and sat down again on the chair beside the table.
After a long time, Liang Jing suddenly woke up when she heard someone knocking on the door. Looking at the time, she estimated that it could only be Zhang Lixing. She stood up and went to open the door. As expected, it was Zhang Lixing's particularly hypocritical and indifferent face outside the iron door.
Liang Jing opened the door and looked out of habit. Fearing that she would be seen, she stood aside to let Zhang Lixing come in.
Mayor, please sit down. Liang Jing squeezed a smile on her face.
Don't worry. I won't treat you as a stranger when you come to your house. Zhang Lixing was full of smiles.
Mayor, what do you want to eat tonight? It seems that there are not many dishes in my fridge. If you suddenly say that you want to come, I will buy some dishes in advance. Liang Jing avoided Zhang Lixing's gaze. At this moment, she was not in the mood at all.
Why do you still want to eat? You will be full after eating. Zhang Lixing slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He pulled Liang Jing to lean on the back of the sofa next to him.
Mayor, you haven't had dinner yet. It's dinner time. You should eat first. Liang Jing refused and smiled helplessly.
I told you that you will be full after eating. Do you still need to eat? Zhang Lixing grinned.
Mayor, I'm not feeling well today. Liang Jing pressed Zhang Lixing's hand and refused politely.
Ah, what's wrong with you? You really don't feel well? Zhang Lixing paused and glanced at Liang Jing.
He felt a little dizzy. Maybe he didn't sleep well recently. Liang Jing perfunctorily said.
Didn't sleep well? I told you that it must be because of the long night. You lack a sense of security without a man. It seems that I have to come here more often in the future to accompany my Xiao Jing. Zhang Lixing laughed and his mouth was full of mushy words.
Mayor, I'm really a little tired. Liang Jing shook her head and said.
Tired people need men more. Look, I'm here to help you relieve your fatigue.
Liang Jing smiled helplessly. She didn't dare to really push Zhang Lixing away. At this moment, her eyes were full of sadness. She didn't even have the courage and qualification to refuse. Was this her fate?
Thinking about how to deal with the disgusting old bastard Zhang Lixing, Liang Jing suddenly had an idea. Li Kaishan might not necessarily be counted on, but what about Zhang Lixing? As soon as this idea came up in her mind, Liang Jing was shocked by herself. Qin Peng had an accident because of the recording. She was most afraid that Zhang Lixing would know about it. If Zhang Lixing knew about it, Zhang Lixing might deal with her and Qin Peng first, not to mention getting them out. At this moment, she still thought of Zhang Lixing. With a bitter smile, Liang Jing knew that she was really crazy. She had invested too much in Qin Peng.
There was silence in the living room.
