Facts speak louder than words. The people who were just mocking Jiang Wanqing were now staring at her in disbelief, their eyes filled with admiration!
"I already told you, this Comrade Jiang is a top student from Huada University, an expert-level figure, but you just wouldn't believe me. How could the person I brought be fake? Do you believe me now?"
Taking this opportunity, Du Heng introduced Jiang Wanqing to everyone again, and this time they truly believed it.
She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, these are minor issues. If anyone has any other questions, please ask them now. I'll head back after my tour, and who knows when I'll be able to come back again."
"My God! I was so blind just now, I never expected this woman to be so amazing!"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. Look at her, all so refined and pretty, but she's incredibly capable when it comes to work!"
Everyone started praising Jiang Wanqing, while others earnestly asked her for advice on her work, which she explained and taught to them one by one.
The scheduled time was dragged out by half an hour. Some people even tried to play matchmaker for Jiang Wanqing, until she said that she was already married and had children, which drew sighs from the crowd.
As noon approached, Jiang Wanqing finally escaped everyone's encirclement and was a little anxious.
"Comrade Du, I have to go back now. I will write you a plan later. If you follow my plan, the factory will take another step forward."
"Are you leaving already? But it's already noon. Why don't you eat before you go?"
Du Heng tried his best to persuade him to stay. Regardless of his purpose, this was his territory, and there was no reason not to invite a guest to eat here.
But she was adamant and walked straight out.
"I'll wait in the car first. Could you please call Du Ming over?"
"Hey..." Du Heng couldn't stop her, so he could only agree, "Okay, I'll go call her right now."
Du Ming was drinking tea in his brother's office. He had already finished a whole pot and eaten a lot of electric chips. His stomach was so full that he was immediately looking up when the door suddenly opened.
"Brother, are you done with your tour? Where's my sister-in-law?"
“She’s in a hurry to get back, why don’t you take her? Pack some snacks for her to eat in the car,” Du Heng said.
"Alright, I understand that my sister-in-law is definitely thinking about Commander Cheng."
Du Ming got up, brushed the crumbs off his clothes, and then walked out.
Before he could even walk out, Du Heng tugged at him, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Mingzai, tell me, besides his leg injury, did your Commander Cheng get other injuries while saving you? How serious were they?"
Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Jiang Wanqing was always in such a hurry to go back. Either Cheng Ran was unable to take care of himself, or they were truly in love and inseparable. Although the latter was also possible, she was capable of building her current industry status and her own factory system, so she certainly wasn't that clingy.
Du Ming scratched his head, looking troubled: "Brother, don't ask. Commander Cheng is really injured, and it's normal for your wife to be worried about him. Besides... I was the one who was rescued, and there are some things I can't say. It would make me seem despicable."
He held firm to his bottom line; after all, an injury in that area is a huge blow to a man, and who would want to make it public knowledge? Besides, Du Ming was the one who was rescued, so it was even more important not to mention it.
But Du Heng seemed determined to know, and snorted.
“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll visit you tomorrow and give Commander Cheng the payment you didn’t give out last time.”
"No, brother! You..."
Du Ming's eyes flickered. He shook off Du Heng's hand and said nothing, but he glanced down meaningfully, the meaning of which was self-evident.
He ran away quickly, which doesn't count as him saying it.
"you……"
Du Heng didn't react for a moment. After Du Ming left his sight, he pondered that look and followed it downwards. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"It was actually..."
...
Du Ming was in such a hurry that he forgot to pack some snacks for Jiang Wanqing. He felt a little guilty on the way home, realizing that she hadn't eaten yet.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, have you? We'll stop on the way and pack you something to eat."
"No need, I'm not hungry yet. Just take me back as soon as possible."
"Oh well……"
It wasn't that she wasn't hungry; she hadn't eaten much in the morning or at noon, and her stomach was already protesting. But she didn't want to waste time. For some reason, the closer she got to home, the more a bad feeling welled up inside her.
Seeing that she was very anxious, Du Ming drove even faster than he had come, shortening the journey by half an hour.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the family compound, Jiang Wanqing got out almost immediately.
He left Du Ming a message: "Thank you for today. I have something to do, so I won't keep you for dinner. You can go now. I'll thank you again next time."
She's the kind of person who gets straight to the point and doesn't mince words. After saying that, she immediately ran back home.
At the door, she smelled the aroma of food coming from inside the house. She paused for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in. Cheng Ran was sitting at the dining table, not yet having picked up his chopsticks.
"You're back. How's work going?"
Seeing that he was alright, Jiang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and went over to him.
"It went very smoothly. I haven't even eaten yet, and you've already prepared the meal."
"I've been waiting for you to come back and eat. I'll serve you some rice."
"good."
She sat down next to him, and as he reached for rice, she faintly smelled blood, as if it were coming from him.
She frowned and took Cheng Ran's hand: "Are you injured? Where are you hurt?"
He calmly withdrew his hand, shook his head, and pointed to the kitchen.
"It might be the smell of meat. I even killed a fish. I wasn't hurt."
Jiang Wanqing looked towards the kitchen and saw that there was indeed some unfinished meat in the basin. So she was just overthinking it?
A steaming bowl of rice was placed in front of her. She was really hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing her eating with relish, Cheng Ran's lips curled up slightly. If you looked closely, you would notice that his lips were a little pale.
"Eat more."
He kept putting food into her bowl: "I'm giving you back because you're not coming back today."
"How could that be? We agreed on half a day, so it's half a day. I won't go back on my word."
"Then you'll have a hard time when you're busy with work in the future."
"We'll see later." She ate half her meal, then noticed he hadn't eaten yet, and blinked in confusion, "Why aren't you eating?"
He shook his head: "I ate before you came back, these are for you."
He's already eaten? Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips. Well, at least he won't get stuck on things. He eats when he's hungry and even exercises and rehabilitates on his own. These are all positive signs.
"Okay, then I'll enjoy it all by myself."
"Okay, I'll make you some tea. Eat slowly, don't choke, it's all yours."
Cheng Ran patted her shoulder, telling her to chew slowly while he went to make tea.
I went into the room, found the tea cake, and brewed a small piece. Inadvertently, a shallow but visible bloodstain was revealed on my wrist.
God knows, during the half-day she was away, he suddenly had the urge to self-harm and avoid her, but thankfully he pulled himself back. He absolutely couldn't let her know...
