The Duan Xiaoqian didn't get angry when she heard that. Instead, she smiled and said, "Really? I thought you were crying for me. At that time, I was thinking that if you could cry for me, it meant that you had me in your heart. I was very touched and couldn't help but like you. But since you didn't cry for me, then forget it. At least I don't have to like a married man like you. "
When Li Rui heard that, although he forced a smile on his face, he felt very uncomfortable inside. He liked the Duan Xiaoqian very much. He liked her from the beginning, but it was just a pure admiration. It wasn't because he wanted to possess a beautiful woman. But after a man and a woman had been together for a long time, as their feelings for each other deepened, they couldn't help but want to have more intimate contact with each other. That was why he couldn't help but kiss the Duan Xiaoqian during their meeting. After that kiss, his love for the Duan Xiaoqian deepened. But after he and Lu Qingman settled down in their new family, Gao Zixuan warned him not to provoke other women, and his own conscience kept him in check. That was why he didn't provoke the Duan Xiaoqian again.
He gave up the opportunity to improve his relationship with the Duan Xiaoqian, but that was based on the fact that the Duan Xiaoqian didn't have any feelings for him. But now, the Duan Xiaoqian used a joking way to confess to him, which ignited the flame of love in his heart. But he also understood that he was already married and couldn't provoke more women behind Qingman's back. He also couldn't hurt this girl who was arrogant on the outside but pure on the inside. Therefore, even if she hinted at him, he could only choose to reject her. Even if rejecting the girl he loved made him feel bad.
"Your mother still doesn't know that you were injured and hospitalized, right?"
Li Rui changed the topic. He was afraid that he would fall deeper and deeper into the "sinful love" between him and the policewoman in front of him.
The Duan Xiaoqian nodded and said, "I didn't tell her from the beginning so that she wouldn't worry. I'll tell her when I'm better." Li Rui asked, "Does your wound still hurt?" The Duan Xiaoqian said, "It hurts. The anesthetic has worn off, but it doesn't hurt too much. But I feel a little uncomfortable inside. It feels a little numb, a little bitter, a little … I can't describe it." Li Rui sighed in his heart. Good girl, that's the place where you lost your ovaries. Alas, good people don't have good lives. He was a little worried that she would break down when she found out about this situation in the future. He gave her a heads-up in advance. "It's definitely uncomfortable to be stabbed for no reason. There are both external and internal injuries. However, it's fortunate that you're still alive. You should take it easy and not take it to heart."
The Duan Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? You make it sound like something happened to me. I just got stabbed. It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after lying down for a few days. Why do you make it sound like I won't live for more than a few days even if I get better? " Li Rui smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. I just want you to relax and enjoy the beauty of life. Don't take anything to heart in the future. What's more precious than being alive?" The Duan Xiaoqian was more upset the more she heard his words. She frowned and stared at him. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. Li Rui patted her hand and got up and said, "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving. I'll come see you when I have time." The Duan Xiaoqian complained, "Don't come. Who do you think you're trying to scare?"
Li Rui smiled and turned to leave the ward.
Not long after he left, the head nurse returned to the ward.
The Duan Xiaoqian asked her, "Head Nurse, is there any sequelae from my stab wound?" The head nurse was stunned and said, "Why do you ask?" The Duan Xiaoqian said, "It's nothing. I was just asking." The head nurse shook her head and said, "No, there aren't any sequelae. Don't worry, you'll be able to jump around again when you're better. But it's better not to catch criminals in the future. It's too dangerous." Duan Xiaoqian hesitantly asked, "There really aren't any sequelae?" The head nurse insisted, "There aren't any sequelae. But there will be scars from the knife and stitches. Luckily, they're all on the lower abdomen. There's no need to be afraid of being seen. " After saying that, she sighed sympathetically. She sighed in her heart, "Poor girl. She's so young and she's not even married yet. She's going to have a hard time in the future."
Even though the head nurse insisted that there was no problem, the Duan Xiaoqian was still unsure. If there was really no problem, Li Rui wouldn't have said those two strange things out of the blue. There must be something strange about it. It seemed that there was a need to investigate it …
Li Rui had just come down from the inpatient building when he received a call from his old boss, Yuan Jingjing. Yuan Jingjing told him that the staff in charge of Feng Weidong's case had rushed over from the provincial capital. They had found her and asked her a lot about Feng Weidong and Feng Bing.
Yuan Jingjing said in the end, "I feel like I'm going to be targeted. Just in case, I'll transfer all the money you put in my card back to you." Li Rui was puzzled. He walked to a secluded corner and asked, "Hasn't Feng Weidong's case been closed?" Yuan Jingjing said, "Who told you that? It's still under investigation. It's still far from being closed. As his daughter-in-law, I can't get away with it. I suspect that the villa I'm living in now is going to be confiscated. The investigators said that Feng Weidong had already confessed that the villa was a gift from the developer. But the case hasn't been closed yet, so it won't be dealt with for now. "Li Rui was a little nervous. He asked," Then, baby, will you be okay? "
Yuan Jingjing said, "I should be fine. I just need to cooperate with their investigation. Of course, I don't know much about Feng Weidong and his son breaking the law. I feel that they might check my personal assets in the next two days. Because today, they asked me how I, a Section Chief with a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan, could afford to drive a luxury car like a Beetle. I told them that my family bought it for me, and I didn't spend a single cent. They didn't seem to believe me. They asked me not to go anywhere for the next two days and to stay in the city to accept the investigation. I'm so scared that I don't even dare to drive my car. I take a taxi to and from work every day. You'd better take all your money away. Otherwise, they might think that Feng Weidong and his son gave me the money and confiscate it. "
Li Rui smiled bitterly. "My silly Jingjing, do you think it's meaningless to transfer it now? If they really want to check your personal assets, they will check your account records. If you really transfer my money away, they will think that you have a guilty conscience and want to transfer the stolen money. Then, you won't be able to explain yourself. "Yuan Jingjing realized that she was too naive. She asked irritably," Then, what should I do? " Li Rui sighed. "What should I do? Just leave it to fate. Anyway, your family has a lot of money. You can say that your parents gave you the money. But I don't think the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate you too deeply. Even if they really check your personal assets, the small amount of money in your account is nothing compared to the huge wealth that Feng Weidong and his son have accumulated over the years. "
Yuan Jingjing said, "That's true. My card and your money only add up to two million. It's not even a fraction of what Feng Bing earned from a project." Li Rui sighed. "It's a pity that I don't have any friends in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Otherwise, I can help you and ask them to be merciful." Yuan Jingjing didn't take his nonsense to heart and asked, "Where are you?" Li Rui said, "I'm outside. What's wrong?" Yuan Jingjing said coquettishly. "I'm a little scared. Come and accompany me for a while." Li Rui said, "No, it's already very late. I have to go home." Yuan Jingjing was unhappy. "Stinky thing, you don't care about me now that you have a new wife?" Li Rui couldn't help but laugh. "You're exaggerating. How can I not care about you? If I get off work early tomorrow, I'll go and accompany you … Beep, beep, beep!"
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Jingjing hung up the phone angrily. He was both angry and amused. He sighed and walked to the door of the hospital. He said to himself, "Jingjing, my baby, it's not that I don't care about you, but it's too late today. I will accompany you when I have time. Alas, it's not easy for you …"
Actually, it wasn't too late now. It was only a little over eight o 'clock. According to his usual home time, he could spend at least an hour with Yuan Jingjing. However, he felt that he had been wandering outside for half a day after work. It was time for him to go back and accompany his beloved wife, Qingman. He wanted her to know that he always put her and his family first. He couldn't be home after nine o' clock every night. That would disappoint her sooner or later.
The next day, it was Saturday. Li Rui thought that it would be the same as the previous weekends. He thought that he would spend the day in boring overtime. Who knew that there would be an unexpected change. Song Chaoyang suddenly received a call from his old high school classmate last night. He said that there would be a class reunion at a hotel in the provincial capital at noon and asked him to attend. After Song Chaoyang received the call, he might have been tempted to go because he agreed without thinking.
Why did he say that he was tempted to go? Because there were three popular customs in modern society, and one of them was "class reunions." Modern class reunions were completely different from old class reunions. They were full of the smell of money and competition. When old classmates met, they would either compete to see who was doing better or who married better. Occasionally, there would be some old love interspersed, which made the already tacky reunion even more tacky. However, everyone liked this kind of reunion, especially those who were particularly successful. They were very willing to return to their hometown in glory and show off their success in front of their old classmates to satisfy their great vanity. In this regard, many big shots were unavoidably tacky.
