Chapter 52 Taking Advantage of the Void



Cheng Jingmo got some food from the cafeteria today and ate it with Xiaojie.

Xiao Jie ate the rice soaked in vegetable soup without any oil, and asked, "Uncle, when will my aunt come back?"

She had only stayed at home for one night when Xiaojie asked her when she would be back.

Cheng Jingmo took out a small piece of shredded pork from the fried zucchini and put it into Xiaojie's bowl. "She said her foot is healed and she's back."

"Let's pick her up on Sunday."

"Her foot might not be healed yet."

"But all the pipa in our school are being picked up."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Cheng Jingmo turned around to look.

Wu Xiaomin stood at the door, holding a bag of cakes. She said with a smile, "Deputy Commander Cheng, I heard that Comrade Yu sprained her ankle. I came to see her."

Cheng Jingmo frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the door, "Thank you for your kindness, she is not at home, you can go back."

"Ah? Then I came at a really bad time." She handed the cakes in her hand to Cheng Jingmo, "These cakes are for Xiaojie."

Cheng Jingmo didn't answer, "I have some at home, take it back."

"Why would I take it back if it's delivered? Besides, I'm already here, why don't you let me go in and sit down?"

Cheng Jingmo hesitated for a moment, then moved aside to let Wu Xiaomin walk in. Then, he pushed the two doors against the wall and opened them as wide as possible.

Wu Xiaomin saw at a glance the food for the two of them on the eight-immortals table. They were all vegetarian dishes, without a single sign of food.

"Deputy Captain Cheng, your food..." She thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Jie is growing up, so he can't do without some meat."

Xiaojie said this with dissatisfaction, pointing to a dish and saying, "This is fried zucchini with meat!"

Wu Xiaomin: “···” I can’t tell!

Cheng Jingmo pursed his lips. This meal was really a bit of a rip-off. It didn't matter if he ate it alone, but he had Xiaojie at home.

I don’t know why, but I don’t feel like doing anything today, even being absent-minded at work during the day.

It must be because I didn’t sleep well last night.

Thinking of last night, Cheng Jingmo's lips curled up slightly.

The dog was soft and sweet, and the feeling of leaning on him and hugging him was...not bad, except that it was too hot!

Wu Xiaomin didn't notice Cheng Jingmo's abnormality. She was thinking about how to stay with Cheng Jingmo for a while longer.

She rolled her eyes and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Deputy Captain Cheng, do you have eggs at home? I'll make you some egg custard. It'll be ready in no time."

"No need, we're full." Cheng Jingmo followed in.

Wu Xiaomin's behavior of coming uninvited and treating herself as a family member made Cheng Jingmo very uncomfortable.

"Comrade Wu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back." Cheng Jingmo blocked the stove with his body to prevent her from cooking.

Wu Xiaomin raised her head and looked into his eyes with deep affection.

When she came, she put on some rouge and lipstick and wore a newly bought light blue blouse and black leather shoes.

She thought she was dressed very beautifully today, but Cheng Jingmo didn't seem to notice.

He said with a cold face, "Comrade Wu, please leave."

She held her throat and said softly, "Deputy Captain Cheng, I'm just concerned about Xiaojie's health. I don't mean anything else."

"Deputy Commander Cheng!" a loud voice rang out, and Liu Zhen hurried in, her eyes widening in feigned surprise. "Hey, Comrade Wu, why are you here?"

Wu Xiaomin's mouth corners lowered and then quickly raised, and then she said with a smile: "I heard that Comrade Yu sprained her ankle, so I came to see her. Unexpectedly, she was not at home."

"Look at Comrade Yu!" Liu Zhen said, as if she had suddenly realized something. "I thought you were here to see Deputy Commander Cheng!"

Liu Zhen said to Cheng Jingmo again, "Deputy Captain Cheng, Lao Xiao asked me to come over to see if you were home. He wants to see you for something."

Wu Xiaomin clenched his fists angrily.

Make up a reason, but make one that is somewhat plausible!

The two families live right next to each other. If there's anything, they can just come over directly. Why do they need to send someone over first to check?!

Cheng Jingmo quickly realized Liu Zhen's intention and said, "Just ask him to come over now."

"Okay!" Liu Zhen said to Wu Xiaomin, who was still waiting to leave. "Doctor Wu, would you like to come to my house for a visit?"

Wu Xiaomin smiled awkwardly, "No, Comrade Yu is not here, and I'm leaving too. I'll come see her another day."

"Then I'll take you there." Liu Zhen stood there, waiting for Wu Xiaomin to go together.

Liu Zhen sent Wu Xiaomin to the playground of the family compound and said in a fake voice, "Comrade Wu, take care. Come visit us when you have time."

Wu Xiaomin's smile was even more fake. "Thank you for your help, Sister-in-law Liu Zhen."

When Liu Zhen turned back, she met Wang Hongxiang who was waiting halfway.

"Sent him away?" Wang Hongxiang asked.

"Send him away!" Liu Zhen cursed. "Who is this? You're trying to seduce Deputy Commander Cheng while Comrade Yu is away. I won't allow it!"

"What were they doing when you went in?"

"They're in the kitchen! I don't know what they're talking about! Look at her face, it's all painted up like a monkey's butt. She doesn't look like a good person!"

Wang Hongxiang laughed at this, "Comrade Yu won't be here for a few days, so we have to help her keep this house safe and not let Dr. Wu take advantage of the situation."

Liu Zhen nodded firmly!

In the evening, Cheng Jingmo took a shower and started washing clothes.

While rubbing the clothes of two men, one big and one small, in the basin, I always felt like something was missing.

He looked up at the closed door in the house and walked in.

He seldom came into this room before.

There was a faint fragrance in the room. The quilt on the bed was not folded, but curled up in a ball. Yu Xiangnian's pajamas were thrown randomly on the quilt. The things on the desk at the head of the bed were also placed in a mess.

Cheng Jingmo thought back to the day they got married.

He sent Yu Xiangnian to the door of the room, and Yu Xiangnian said to him fiercely: "This room is mine, you are not allowed to come in!"

In fact, he didn't even think about going in.

He knew that Yu Xiangnian didn't like him and that she married him purely because her parents forced her to do so. He wouldn't force Yu Xiangnian to do anything.

He looked around the room and felt empty inside.

Finally, he simply took off the quilt cover, bed sheets, pillowcases, and Yu Xiangnian's pajamas and took them outside to wash.

The next day was Saturday.

Yu Xiangyang arrived at the logistics department on time at 2 pm.

The night Yu Xiangnian returned home, he handed this matter over to him.

Everyone in the logistics department has been looking forward to it and waiting to see the excitement.

When they didn't see Bai Mei pushing the new bicycle, they secretly went to the back of the warehouse to look, and there was only the old one parked there.

Although everyone did not see Yu Xiangnian, seeing Yu Xiangyang was equivalent to seeing Yu Xiangnian.

Someone took the initiative to lead Yu Xiangyang to Baimei's office.

When Bai Mei saw Yu Xiangyang and looked at the many people following behind to watch the fun, she suddenly panicked. She sat in her seat, her face pale, and she kept twisting her hands.

Yu Xiangnian pulled out the twenty big unity notes he had prepared long ago from his pocket and placed them on the table in front of Bai Mei. "Comrade Bai Mei, my sister sprained her ankle and can't come. She asked me to return these two hundred yuan to you. Please count them."
