After something bad happened in her childhood, 26-year-old Jiang Wannin developed a certain fear of men. Not wanting to worry her parents, she could only enter a contractual marriage. After one yea...
Lu Jingshen raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled. Looking at these old guys, he knew that he paid too much attention to the little girl, which aroused the suspicion of those old foxes.
This is how it happened. He glanced at the little girl again and lowered his head almost to his chest.
Then he smiled faintly and said in a pleasant voice: "Okay, you two can find a place to sit down. As for thanking me, there is no need. Just work hard and thank me."
The leaders smiled, and some of them secretly looked at the girl. She was indeed very pure!
Sister Li looked at Jiang Wanning with an unclear expression. It was obvious that Jiang Wanning didn't know what was going on. She sighed slightly, then pulled Jiang Wanning to sit down.
Secretary Dong came in and said, "Deputy Mayor, the dishes are ready."
Lu Jingshen nodded, Secretary Dong nodded to someone at the door, and then the waiters brought the dishes one after another, and soon the table was full of food.
Lu Jingshen smiled and picked up the water glass in front of him and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. We haven't had time to eat out since the meeting this morning. Let's have a meal in our cafeteria. The food in our cafeteria is quite good. Please eat more. I will invite you all to eat out when there is a chance. I will toast to you with water instead of wine." After that, he took a sip of the water in the glass.
Everyone smiled and drank some water, and then there was another round of compliments.
Lu Jingshen smiled gently, picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the food and started eating. When everyone saw him pick up his chopsticks, they also started eating.
Sister Li hadn't recovered from the situation yet. She tilted her head slightly to look at Jiang Wanning, who was nervously sitting next to her, eating cautiously. She then carefully glanced at Lu Jingshen, who was sitting at the main table. She couldn't figure out whether these leaders had misunderstood her. It was impossible for Mayor Lu to be so obsessed with Jiang Wanning, right?
Jiang Wanning had never eaten with so many people in such an occasion, and they were all big leaders. She could only lower her head and pick up the dishes in front of her, immersed in her own time.
Then the deputy district chief laughed and shouted, "Xiao Jiang, don't eat yet. Come on, toast Mayor Lu with water instead of wine and thank him properly."
Jiang Wanning suddenly heard someone calling her, raised her head and stood up in panic, her face flushed, her hands trembling under the table as she nodded involuntarily.
Looking at Lu Jingshen who was sitting in the main seat, he stammered, "Thank you...thank you, Mayor Lu. I...cheers to you." Then he nervously picked up the water cup and drank all the water in it.
Sister Li looked at Jiang Wanning with some worry. She couldn't help Jiang Wanning in this situation. She looked up at the leaders around her. In their eyes, there was a meaningful smile in their eyes, as if Jiang Wanning already belonged to Lu Jingshen.
Lu Jingshen's eyes flashed, and he smiled as he squinted his eyes. He raised the water cup in front of him and said, "Since Xiao Jiang wants to thank me, I'll take it." He drank the water in the cup and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, sit down."
Jiang Wanning looked over and met his smiling eyes. She quickly lowered her eyes and sat down, her hands unable to stop tensing up.
After finishing the meal and walking out of the private room, Lu Jingshen took a few steps, turned around, looked at Jiang Wanning and Sister Li, and said, "You two should go back to the office first. It's none of your business."
District Chief Chen quickly took over the conversation and said, "Okay, Deputy Mayor, I'll let them go back to their units." Then he turned and said, "Xiao Li, Xiao Jiang, you go back to your units first."
Sister Li listened to the instructions and replied, "Yes, Deputy Mayor, District Chief Chen, then Xiao Jiang and I will go back first."
Xiao Jiang followed Sister Li and nodded, looking well-behaved and obedient.
The leaders of each district took this opportunity to look up and down at the woman that the deputy mayor liked. Who could have thought that the deputy mayor would like such a silly woman!
Lu Jingshen smiled and nodded, then turned around and led everyone upstairs.
Sister Li watched as Mayor Lu and the others disappeared upstairs before she let out a long sigh and murmured, "Oh my god, this is such suffering." Then she looked at Jiang Wanning with a serious face.
Jiang Wanning was also obviously relieved. She looked at Sister Li and found that Sister Li was also looking at her, "Sister Li, what's wrong?"
Sister Li shook her head slightly, not knowing whether to tell Jiang Wanning, but how could she say it? Moreover, Jiang Wanning was so terrified if she really told her. Forget it, now she could only guess. Then Sister Li and Jiang Wanning returned to the unit.
Jiang Wanning received a call from Duan Chengming after get off work. His tone was not very good. Jiang Wanning hung up the phone and went directly to Duan Chengming's mother's house.
When I arrived, I saw Duan Chengming's second aunt and her family were all there. Duan Chengming's parents looked at Jiang Wanning with an ugly expression.
Jiang Wanning was a little nervous, but she pretended to be calm.
Duan Chengming stood up and said in a questioning tone, "Jiang Wanning, you should know that you are married. You should behave yourself when you are out there."
Jiang Wanning frowned and looked at Duan Chengming, asking in confusion: "What...what do you mean?"
Duan Chengming's mother came over and started scolding him, "How dare you ask? Don't you know what you've done? It turns out you don't like our Chengming anymore. Otherwise, why would you say you don't want to have children? It turns out you want to climb up the social ladder. You even seduced your boss at work. Don't you think you have any status? If our Chengming didn't like you, do you think you could enter a family like ours?"
Jiang Wanning had never argued with anyone before. Now, with a pale face, she stood there listening to someone scold her. She asked tremblingly, "What do you mean?"
"How dare you ask? Did you pretend to fall down so that you could seduce the new deputy mayor?" Duan Chengming's mother looked down on Jiang Wanning.
Duan Chengming's second aunt came over, looked at Jiang Wanning, and lectured her, "Xiao Ning, how could you do such a thing at work? Besides, you're already married, so you should keep your distance from other men. I've been in the company for decades, and I know that young people like you want to get promoted, and you always think of taking shortcuts and doing messy things. I'm afraid that you'll bring trouble to Second Uncle Chengming because of this."
Lin Zhiyao walked over with disdain and looked at Jiang Wanning, "But you are pretending quite well. I heard from my dad that your fall made Mayor Lu remember you. You are so shameless. You are fooling around even after getting married." Lin Zhiyao is also from a key unit and knows a lot of complicated relationships inside. She didn't take it seriously before she went in, but after she went in, she found that some of the relationships were really messy.
Jiang Wanning looked at these people, and trembling all over, she looked at Duan Chengming, who was standing beside her with an ugly face. "Duan Chengming, you should know what is going on in our marriage. I don't think it is your family's turn to intervene in my affairs." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Duan Chengming's mother looked at her attitude and didn't take her mother-in-law seriously at all. She pulled her over and slapped her.
Duan Chengming was stunned. He didn't expect that his mother would actually beat Jiang Wanning. Lin Zhiyao stood by and watched Jiang Wanning being beaten with a gloating look on her face.
