One day, Secretary Wu Haotian came to the ward to see Leng Hongyan. The casual disdain in the corner of his eyes made her suddenly understand that her position in the officialdom was just a decoration. Song Lihai's era had passed, and Secretary Wu Haotian must have known about the rumor that she kept a gigolo. Otherwise, he would not have hidden such disdain in the corner of his eyes. It was normal for a man to keep a mistress and a mistress, but a woman, especially a woman in power, kept a gigolo, which was always against the hidden rules of the officialdom. After Secretary Wu Haotian left, she thought a lot. At this time, the news of Wu Yueying's suicide came, which erased her only nostalgia for the officialdom. When her sister, who was abroad, called, she promised her sister to go abroad to reunite with her parents.
During her illness, Yao Haidong was busy for her, which made her extremely moved. When she submitted her resignation to Secretary Wu Haotian, she also asked him to agree to her last condition, which was to let Yao Haidong be a member of the Standing Committee. Perhaps she was about to leave, or perhaps she wanted to make a position for Secretary Wu Haotian, but Secretary Wu Haotian readily agreed to her condition. This was the only thing she felt she should do for Yao Haidong. If she and Liu Lihai had continued to be together, she would have had the passion and the strength to fight for the position of Jingjiang's mayor. Now, when the boy appeared in her eyes again, she didn't expect to be so calm. Maybe this was the situation when her heart was like dead ashes.
"Yes, when my visa comes, I will leave and may never come back." Leng Hongyan's words sounded very sad to Liu Lihai. He thought she was just transferred to work, but he didn't expect that she would give up everything. He didn't dare to look at her, but said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
A single apology, so many memories, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, all welled up in Leng Hongyan's heart. She trembled and used her eyes to look for Liu Lihai's face, which she had once been crazy about. When her gaze once again landed on that incomparably handsome face, a ripple appeared in her heart. She excused herself to go to the washroom and left Liu Lihai. She didn't expect that she could still have ripples in her heart. She could even feel sad because of this little boy's "I'm sorry". Could it be that she was still unwilling? Did she still miss this little boy who hurt her?
After Leng Hongyan left, Yao Haidong pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he saw Liu Lihai sitting alone in a daze, he asked him, "Where's Minister Leng?" Yao Haidong deliberately said that he was dealing with a rather troublesome matter and would arrive later. He actually knew that Leng Hongyan couldn't let go of Liu Lihai in her heart. This boy who hurt her the most, but she was so infatuated with him. On this point, Yao Haidong was greatly surprised. Of course, he was also very grateful for everything Leng Hongyan had done for him. Leng Hongyan's own retirement in exchange for his place in the Standing Committee. Regarding this friendship, Yao Haidong remembered.
"Maybe he went to the washroom?" As Liu Lihai spoke, he unconsciously stood up. He didn't know why, but in front of Yao Haidong, he always felt a sense of pressure. As for what this pressure was, Liu Lihai couldn't explain it clearly.
"Oh," Yao Haidong replied. The little boy's facial expression in front of him was calm. It seemed that Leng Hongyan wouldn't have any big fluctuations. When Yao Haidong thought so, he found a seat and sat down.
Yao Haidong didn't let Liu Lihai sit down. Liu Lihai was a little embarrassed, but he still sat down. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "How is Secretary Gong now?"
"It's probably very troublesome. He has properties in Shanghai and Beijing, which is a clear proof. Besides, he was also involved in the fire. I'm afraid no one can save him this time. "After that, Yao Haidong sighed. Recently, Lin County had been in trouble one after another. Secretary Wu Haotian was already very angry. He said that he would investigate Gong Daojin's matter strictly.
"Then can I go see Secretary Gong?" Liu Lihai looked at Yao Haidong and asked.
"I'm afraid no one can see him now. Let's wait a little longer. His case will be handed over to the prosecution sooner or later. At that time, you should be able to visit him. " When Yao Haidong spoke, he didn't look at Liu Lihai, but Liu Lihai kept looking at Yao Haidong. He always felt that Yao Haidong's eyes were very deep. He couldn't guess his inner feelings. He was still afraid of this Minister Tao who had deep well eyes.
"What's the situation in Lin County now?" Yao Haidong changed the topic. Obviously, he didn't want to talk about Gong Daojin anymore. For a person who was going to be sentenced, it was meaningless and valuable to talk more. Yao Haidong was willing to find out the person who stood out in the calculation, but he didn't want to spend time thinking about a defeated person. "The winner is king, the loser is the bandit." This was the iron law that he thought was the most applicable in the officialdom. Of course, he certainly wouldn't let Liu Lihai know what was going on in his heart. He also wouldn't let Liu Lihai know what he thought the officialdom was like. If it wasn't for Leng Hongyan, he believed that he definitely wouldn't sit with this young man. He only wanted to make friends with people who were smarter and wiser than him. He didn't want to waste time on someone who wasn't as good as him. In his opinion, Liu Lihai, who had lost Leng Hongyan's guidance, was a waste of time. Except for business, he really didn't want to say one more word to Liu Lihai.
Leng Hongyan quickly returned to the private room. The space of three people was obviously much wider than when two people were together. The main reason was that Yao Haidong was wholeheartedly trying to make Leng Hongyan happy, and Leng Hongyan seemed to be particularly happy. The two people sang and sang together, and it seemed very ambiguous. Liu Lihai felt that he was completely an extra person. However, this ending, in his opinion, was the best one. At least he gave Leng Hongyan a chance to regain his face, and also let him completely let go of her, no longer feeling that he owed her anything.
This meal was very awkward, at least in Liu Lihai's opinion. Although Leng Hongyan kept smiling and Yao Haidong kept telling cold jokes, Liu Lihai felt that Leng Hongyan was pretending. Because when he poured the wine for Leng Hongyan, when their hands touched, he clearly felt that Leng Hongyan's hand was trembling, and it was this trembling that made Liu Lihai's heart ache. He wanted Leng Hongyan to really let go of him, and he wanted this woman to live a good life after going to another country. At least there was no him in her life, and at least there was no officialdom in her life. Compared to Wu Yueying, she had a relatively better ending. In Liu Lihai's opinion, it should be like this. However, Leng Hongyan's trembling revealed her heart. It was a heart that made Liu Lihai feel guilty and painful.
Yes, the word love was so heavy. When love met politics, love seemed too childish and ridiculous. However, Leng Hongyan, a woman who worked in the officialdom and the political field, actually valued her love so much. It would be a lie to say that Liu Lihai was not touched, but no matter how touched he was, he couldn't let Leng Hongyan know. He couldn't let Sun Xiaomu down. No matter who was standing behind her, Liu Lihai had to find out all the inside story.
After the meal, Yao Haidong went to pay the bill. Originally, Liu Lihai wanted to go, but Leng Hongyan said, "Let Yao Haidong pay." After she said that, Liu Lihai couldn't fight for it. At least he didn't have the right to fight to pay the bill now.
Only Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai were left in the private room. For some reason, Liu Lihai wanted to say something, so he looked up at Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan was also looking at him. Their eyes met again, and Liu Lihai actually saw sparks, which lit up the whole private room.
"Sister, I, I …" Liu Lihai still called her sister. Leng Hongyan couldn't pretend anymore. She actually threw herself into Liu Lihai's arms. This was the boy she gave the most passionate love to, the boy who hurt her the most, the boy she thought she would hate for the rest of her life. At this moment, she was actually so reluctant to part with him.
"Sister is leaving, you have to take care." When Leng Hongyan said this, tears fell down. Liu Lihai reached out to wipe Leng Hongyan's tears. At this time, Yao Haidong appeared outside the door of the private room, but he didn't go in. Instead, he quietly closed the door for them. However, his heart also felt like it was cut by the tip of a knife. While he couldn't let go of Leng Hongyan, Leng Hongyan was still infatuated with Liu Lihai, a little boy who had no political struggles other than a pretty boy. From Yao Haidong's point of view, Liu Lihai didn't have the qualifications to make Leng Hongyan do such a thing. At this time, for the sake of Gong Daojin, he actually made a deal to send Leng Hongyan off, and Leng Hongyan was still in love with this boy. This made Yao Haidong want to rush up and slap Liu Lihai a few times to vent his anger.
Women were always emotional creatures. Wu Yueying was like this, and so was Leng Hongyan. Yao Haidong suppressed his anger and waited patiently for the male and female protagonists who were still in love with each other.
After Liu Lihai comforted Leng Hongyan with great difficulty, the two of them walked out of the private room. When Yao Haidong held Liu Lihai's hand tightly, it hurt, but he didn't say anything. He thanked Yao Haidong with a smile on his face, as if Yao Haidong was really sending Liu Lihai back to Lin County.
After Liu Lihai got in the car, Leng Hongyan actually ran a few steps after the car. Liu Lihai had to roll down the window and say, "Sister Leng, tell me that you are safe when you arrive abroad."
Leng Hongyan seemed to be waiting for Liu Lihai to say this. She smiled and said, "I will." Only then did Liu Lihai continue to drive in the direction of Lin County. Leng Hongyan didn't chase after him.
Leng Hongyan and Yao Haidong's shadows were getting farther and farther away. Liu Lihai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard news about Gong Daojin, but what about Sun Xiaomu?
