It was already nine o'clock when she got home. Because she had a performance tonight, she had dinner very early. After a busy night, Gong Linglong's stomach started to growl when she got home.
Lu Jingchuan had very sharp ears and said with a smile, "Linglong, go take a shower. I'll cook noodles."
"Jingchuan, there's no need to cook noodles. There's porridge cooking on the stove."
Bai Shuixian had already prepared the midnight snack. She strode into the kitchen and quickly returned with a large, steaming earthenware pot. She said to them, "I made eight-treasure porridge. I traded some pickled vegetables with Ximei and the others for some beans and peanuts. I made a big pot. Any leftovers will be for breakfast tomorrow morning."
After simmering for nearly three hours, the eight-treasure porridge became fragrant, soft and thick. Lu Jingchuan, who usually doesn't like porridge, ate two bowls in big mouthfuls.
Bai Shuixian's hand has healed and she plans to go back to the nursing home to work tomorrow. Lu Jingchuan and his wife also have to go to work. After drinking the porridge, they went to wash up and rest.
Gong Linglong returned to the room after taking a shower. As soon as she closed the door, she turned around and fell into a warm embrace.
This was another extremely passionate night.
Lu Jingchuan usually restrained himself a little considering that she had to go to work the next day, but tonight he completely let go, switching between countless positions and tormenting her until she was almost fainting.
"Linglong, get up."
I was too tired last night and woke up late this morning.
Gong Linglong was still groggy when he woke her up. When he pulled her up and made her sit properly, she asked, naively, "Are you going to work today?"
"I have to go to work."
Lu Jingchuan looked at the dense marks on her body with a deep look in his eyes. He quickly helped her button up her clothes and said, "Mom has already cooked breakfast. Hurry up and wash up and eat."
Gong Linglong finally came to her senses. Thinking about his crazy and unrestrained demands last night, and how he wanted her to cooperate in every way and called her "darling", her pretty face turned red instantly and she slapped him on the shoulder.
She hit Lu Jingchuan with a bit too much force, causing him to hiss. He said in a flattering tone, "Wife, I was wrong."
"I'll settle the score with you tonight."
Gong Linglong wanted to settle the score with him now, but her whole body was sore and weak, as if she had been beaten up. She also had to hurry to eat breakfast and go to work, so she let him go for the time being.
Lu Jingchuan buttoned up his clothes, held her face and kissed her gently, "It's up to you to punish me."
"Okay, pour me some water."
Gong Linglong quickly washed up and poured a large bowl of space water into her stomach. When she came out, she saw breakfast on the table. She called them to eat quickly, and after eating, she hurried to work.
As soon as I get to the office, I immediately ask other colleagues for the latest gossip.
Although Director Yang appears very serious, she is very easy-going outside of work hours. She actively participates in topics that interest everyone, and she always has accurate information.
She usually came to the office for breakfast, and while eating, she shared with them, "To save his life, Meng Xiaohang voluntarily handed over all his profits from speculation, a total of over 136,000 yuan. He also turned himself in to all the people in the Shanxi Province coal mining department who had collaborated with him. More than a dozen state-owned enterprise officials were implicated, and the amount involved exceeded one million yuan."
"hiss!"
In this era when there are very few people with a net worth of ten thousand yuan, it really shocked everyone that they illegally amassed so much wealth.
Gong Linglong was particularly curious about Meng Xiaohang's fate and asked her, "Director Yang, would he be... that?"
As she spoke, she made a "biu" gesture.
"The Meng family won't let him eat peanuts." Director Yang gave her a firm word.
Gong Linglong understood that the Meng family would do their best to save his life. They had been operating in Seoul for so many years and must have some unknown connections. Now that the critical moment had come, they would definitely mobilize.
One of the Meng family’s connections is the Peng family.
Bai Shuixian returned to the sanatorium in the morning and reported in. When she was getting ready for work, she saw Meng Mu coming over.
After not seeing her for just a few days, she looked much more haggard, her face full of fatigue, her eyes bloodshot, and her eye sockets red and swollen. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest in the past few days. Her hair, which was usually kept neatly dressed when she went out, was a little messy, and her clothes were a little wrinkled. After she came over, she went straight to Madam Peng's room.
The sanatorium also received news about the Meng family's affairs. Bai Shuixian talked to everyone and "shared" the experience of her mother and daughter with everyone.
Peng Yuni came to bring breakfast to my mother this morning. She was talking to my mother about the Meng family. When she saw Xiao Hongmei coming again, both mother and daughter looked unhappy, and the same look of annoyance and dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes.
Although Xiao Hongmei was tired, she was very sharp-eyed and caught their gazes, feeling indescribable resentment in her heart.
Her cousin has always been a snobbish person. In fact, she has seen clearly that when your family is prosperous and has a bright future, she always calls you her cousin. Once your family encounters trouble and falls into poverty, she can't wait to cut off all ties with you.
Xiao Hongmei grew up in this circle and actually saw through the selfishness and coldness of this circle. She originally wanted to come over and plead for mercy by playing the emotional card, but now she doesn't want to cry and beg for help anymore.
She had come several times before, crying and complaining, but the Peng family was unwilling to help.
In this case, there was no need for her to cry or complain. In order to save her son's life, she could only take different measures.
Seeing her come in without saying a word, with a tired but indifferent look in her eyes, Peng Yuni felt uneasy and asked, "Sister Hongmei, have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
Xiao Hongmei took two steps forward, stopped at the end of the bed, and asked coldly: "Aunt, Yuni, can you help with Xiaohang's matter..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Peng interrupted, "Hongmei, we've said everything we need to say. Our family can't do anything about Xiaohang's situation. The only thing we can do is help with Xiaoying's situation. We'll help find a good doctor to treat her injuries and try our best to prevent her from becoming disabled."
Although she had already guessed that she would refuse, Xiao Hongmei was heartbroken to see that she refused so decisively and without any regard for family affection.
She forced back the tears that were welling up in her eyes and turned her gaze to Peng Yuni. "Yuni, what about you? We've been sisters for so many years, and you've asked me for help a lot, but I've never asked you for help. I didn't even ask you for help when my father-in-law was dismissed. I only asked for your help with Xiaohang's matter. Aren't you willing to lend a hand?"
"Sister Hongmei, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I really don't have the ability."
Peng Yuni didn't want to interfere in the Meng family's affairs. She knew that the Meng family had offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. If she tried to help, it might bring trouble to her own family and her natal family.
In addition, Xue Hailin also repeatedly reminded her that even he had not found out who was behind the attack on the Meng family, so they must not interfere in the affairs of the Meng family.
