Skin yourself

  "Are all of you here to accompany this young lady?" The secretary comrade, with a gaze full of deep meaning, swept past each one of them, from Leven Bin, the advertising company manager, to the official from a certain department, not missing a single one.

  What does the gaze of this secretary comrade who came on behalf of Mayor Lu mean?

  Apart from Wen Huan, several others were also pondering.

  If Mayor Lu is being unreasonable, Secretary should have an iron face instead of smiling like now.

  "Yes." Raven Bin answered forcefully with Qi Qi, the advertising company manager.

  Standing beside Wen Huan, Lei Wenbin inserted his hands into his hair, spirited and proud: "I am her friend."

  "He is our company's chief designer." The advertising company manager also stood up, unwilling to fall behind.

  Comrade Secretary smiled with a dignified and profound smile: "Please follow this young lady together."

  Were all of them received by Mayor Lu in person?

  Thanks to the good fortune of this young lady from the Lu family?

  Lei Wenbin was so excited that he wanted to hold Wen Huan's hand and called himself her boyfriend.

  But she didn't forget that she was also the future daughter-in-law of Secretary Yao.

  Let's just forget it for now.

  A group of people followed Comrade Secretary and walked forward.

  Wen Yu gradually fell behind. Although she thought that Commander Lu had no reason to not recognize her, yet, this heart was hanging in suspense.

  A guilty conscience is like a heart disease, thinking of what others might say will be like being on the verge of death.

  "Juanjuan?" He found that she was gone, so Le Wenbin hastily turned his head to look back and saw that her forehead was covered with big beads of sweat, her face pale. "Are you ill?"

  "It seems like I didn't eat breakfast right, my stomach is a bit uncomfortable." Hugging the stomach, making a painful expression, the pain is in the heart, squeezing, as if it's going to shatter.

  As soon as he heard that he was ill after relying on the developed nobleman, not only Le Wenbin, but also the advertising company manager followed closely: "Is there a medical room? Send him to the medical room for a check-up."

  "No need, I'll just go to the bathroom." He said hastily and loudly, went to the medical room and was checked out not to be worse.

  Seeing her fierce and quick eyes, Leven Bin and others did not dare to force her.

  Lei Wenbin supported her to go to the bathroom and asked Comrade Secretary where the public toilet was.

  She looked at her face and said warmly: "Please come this way with me."

  Don't be suspicious, follow this man quickly and try to slip away after entering the restroom.

  Wen Huan, who had made up her mind, walked straight into an office without even looking at the sign on the door.

  After entering, the office is divided into two layers. A small toilet is installed in the front reception room. The person guarding the reception room sees Secretary Comrade standing up and saying: "Mayor Lu is waiting, I'll go and inform him."

  Hearing this, Wen Huan's legs went soft.

  Lei Wenbin grasped her limp arm as if grabbing a handful of clothes and hastily asked: "Is there a doctor?"

  The secretary comrade gave him a wink.

  He quickly walked out from behind the office desk and said, "Let her lie down first. Lushi is here, I'll go get him."

  The man as cold as Yanluo Wang, for the first time in emergency department, those terrible eyes, could see at a glance that she was faking illness.

  Shaking, body shaking, thinking, wanting to leave, no, must leave.

  "Juan?" Levin Bin, who was helping her sit on the sofa, suddenly found that she turned around to leave.

  "Ah——" The others were all blocked at the door, with clear anxiety hanging on their faces.

  But she understood that these people were all rushing towards her and Lu's family relationship, not truly worried about her.

  It was like when she first fell ill, everyone in the family was really worried about her. When she had a high fever, her parents and Weiwei took turns keeping watch by her bedside, not asking anything of her at all.

  Two hands stretched out, tearing open these people's mouths and faces as if they wanted to rip them apart.

  "What's going on?"

  A low growl, like a great mountain, pressed down in an instant, and the panicked crowd was frozen in place by the Immobilization Technique.

  "Mayor Lu!" The secretary comrade respectfully shouted first.

  Others were shocked, and Raven pulled Wenwen's hand down, turning around to face the stern-looking Mayor Lu Heyan: "Mayor Lu."

  In their tone, there is little respect, mostly fawning humility.

  Mayor Lu's silent gaze swept over the few people, finally locking onto Wen Huan's back as she was about to rush out the door. "She's seriously ill, what can't she do lying down? Where is the doctor?"

  Upon hearing the mayor's order, several people hastily stretched out their hands and pulled Wen Huan back with force.

  Wen Huan, pressed down on the sofa, closed her eyes as if she were dead: Can't escape, pretend to be dead.

  "What about the doctor?" someone else asked.

  The mayor treats the sick Miss Lu so well, it goes without saying that she is indeed Mayor Lu's niece.

  Lei Wenbin made a very anxious gesture and grasped Wen Huan's hand, as if she was really going to die, saying: "Her hands are very cold, let's send her to the hospital."

  Comrade Secretary smiled and said: "Don't worry. Lu Shangxiao is here, all the patients in the hospital have to ask him to take a look."

  Wen Yu's breath was caught in her throat as she heard a series of footsteps, accompanied by the man's unique coldness, walking towards her.

  "Landlord." The crowd gave way to let Master come through.

  Lei Wenbin didn't know Jun Ye, looked up and saw a man as cold as frost, his eyebrows furrowed.

  "Let her get up," he said, his cold eyes scanning the sofa where her cramped fingers were lightly brushed by a chill.

  What does it mean? No illness?

  Everyone gasped in shock.

  Lei Wenbin shouted: "What are you looking at? She's obviously ill. Didn't you see how pale her face is?"

  "Cold eyes, cold voice, ignoring his shouting and yelling: 'Ask her yourself, do you want to stay here and listen to the mayor's questions?'"

  The hand on her stomach didn't shake anymore, because even death couldn't be pretended, Wen Huan opened her eyes and sat up.

  "Juanjuan." Lei Wenbin supported her, as if he was someone close to her, "Don't listen to him, let's go to the hospital."

  She was so angry she could have cried: this Lei Wenbin had no idea who he was dealing with.

  As expected, Jun Ye's voice was cold and sharp as he fired at Levin: "What is your relationship with her?"

  "I am her friend!" Raven said with a straight face.

  "Heterosexual friends?" A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Is there a problem?" said Raven Bin, stepping down.

  "You must have heard her say she's Miss Lu. If she's one of the Lus, I'm her cousin. When did you start going out with her?"

  Oh no! Raven's brain had a short circuit: "I, I——"

  "How old are you this year? You should be a lot older than her. How did you know her at her age?"

  A few words from you, sir, were like a sharp needle that pierced the heart of the matter. Without saying more, he was already guilty of luring underage girls.

  Lei Wenbin's head hung down as if he was dying, and he didn't answer when asked three times.

  Mayor Lu saw that the play was almost over and coughed.

  Everyone was deeply respectful.

  The mayor's stern gaze stopped at the advertising company manager: "You said you know my niece, what is your relationship with her?"

  The middle-aged advertising company manager, trembling all over: "No, I don't know her."

  "How did you get here if you don't know her?"

  The advertising company manager was speechless and had a bitter taste in his mouth after eating Huanglian.

  "And you?" The mayor's eyes, rich with implication, caught the leader of a certain department who had just negotiated with them.

  "Mayor!" The head of the department exclaimed excitedly, "It's like this, our director specially instructed us to pretend to be close to those advertising company people, planning to crack down on the corrupt elements that are corroding our government departments."

  Brr!

  The advertising company manager, Raven Bin, and Wen Xuan stared at the department head who had bitten back at them at the right moment.

  "Jiāo jiāo."

  The mayor's voice was terrifying, with a pause between every two words, causing her to reflexively jump up, stand straight and stare at him in horror.

  "They're saying you're walking the relationship, that you're my niece. What do you say you should do now?" The mayor's eyes were sharp as a needle, piercing into her shrinking soul.

  Unaware, she trembled with her body and thought of begging for mercy: "Uncle, I, I know I was wrong."

  In fact, she didn't think that even if Lu Shang hadn't denied her as his niece, she would still be in such a predicament.

  Completely different from what she thought of as a high-ranking cadre's daughter.

  "I know I was wrong, what should I do now!"

  Legs trembling, almost unable to stand, might as well beg for mercy. Isn't she his niece? He can't just watch her die, can he?

  "Grandfather, I really know I was wrong, don't worry, I absolutely won't make the same mistake again next time."

  "Is that it?"

  Isn't it? She looked at Lu Hezhan's face, which was as stern as Yan Wang, with a bewildered and frightened expression.

  She was wrong, she was so wrong that she shouldn't have pretended to be their relatives because not everyone can be their kind of relatives!

  "Our Lu family's daughter, is this what she's become?!" Commander Lu said excitedly, pacing back and forth. Especially when he thought of his daughter Manman's words that night, it made the blood of a soldier like him boil with rage. "Our Lu family's daughter, if she committed a crime, would tell me, would be willing for me to shoot her dead on the spot!"

  Along with Lu's words, it was as if a bullet had shot into her chest. Wen Huan touched her chest and in that instant, the heart inside seemed to have stopped working. Her face turned pale, and at this moment, she couldn't even shed tears.

  "What did you say!" Commander Lu now pointed his gun at her three words.

  Kneeling on both knees, she begged: "I'm not your niece, please spare me, Mayor."

  Isn't she Mayor Lu's niece?

  Isn't she also the future daughter-in-law of Secretary Yao?

  Lei Wenbin felt that his soul was already floating lightly, as if it was about to fly into hell, and everything in front of him was pitch black.

  The advertising company manager was held captive like a prisoner of war, then knelt down and surrendered.

  Sweeping past the three people, Mayor Lu's eyes returned to that department leader, his thick eyebrows furrowed: "You said your bureau chief instructed you to do this? How come I didn't receive any message? How many people have walked through connections now? What kind of connections did they walk through? How much kickback was received?"

  "Mayor!" The head of a certain department, wiping the sweat from his forehead, said repeatedly, "I'll now list out all the amounts of red envelopes received by each person and the names of those who came to visit."

  "Coincidentally, I also heard that someone plagiarized the work." Lu Shuai didn't forget that his own daughter Manman was wronged, otherwise her husband wouldn't be in a hurry to call and tell him.

  "This matter..." The hesitant gaze of a certain department leader fell on the advertising company manager who was kneeling on the ground.

  "I'll have the defendant brought over now. I hear the plaintiff's company is here as well. Let's listen to what both sides have to say." Commander Lu sat down calmly and gave a signal to his subordinates.

  Comrade Secretary went out immediately.

  Without a moment's delay, others like Manman who were waiting elsewhere followed Comrade Secretary into the mayor's office.

  "Yuan Yuan, is that Le Wenbin?" Chuxia blinked rapidly, seeing the two men and women kneeling on the ground like prisoners.

  Her eyebrows furrowed together in a bunch, as if they all knew the ins and outs of things now, just like she thought.

  "Sister!" This time Wen Xuan finally called her sister, raised her head, and said with shining eyes, "It wasn't me who did it, really not me."

  "You've got the wrong person, Miss Lu. I'm just the daughter of a grocery store owner, how could I possibly be your sister? If you say that out loud, everyone will laugh at you."

  Wen Yu's face was easy to guess without even looking at it or thinking about it.

  Early summer directly turns back, secretly with husband together in private: Pfft. Want to laugh belly burst.

  Lu Shang was sitting down and drinking water when his daughter's words made him cough.

  Comrade Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his face.

  Put down the teacup and knock on the table with his fingers, Lu, who was acting as the approver, said to a department leader: "Are you saying that one side accused the other of plagiarism?"

  Looking at this strange situation, it seems that the mayor intentionally defended the other side. A certain department leader suddenly spoke up solemnly and said: "No, Mayor, you're wrong. It was actually the other side that plagiarized this side."

  *sigh*

  The kneeling advertising company manager and Raven Bin, brain explosion, empty into a piece.

  Although they indeed plagiarized Mianmian's work, this leader is a chameleon. Within two seconds, he can turn someone into an enemy.

  The officialdom is indeed called dark for no reason.

  Man Man exchanged a glance with Chun Xia and Du Yu, although this result was what they wanted, however, letting some troublemakers slip away, couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be a next time.

  Du Yu plucked up the courage to step forward and said to Commander Lu, "Mayor, we have received a letter from the other party's lawyer, saying that they are suing us for plagiarism of their work." After speaking, he took out the documents from his briefcase.

  The face of a certain department leader gradually changed color, with fierce eyes staring at Du Yu and several others in the dark.

  Lu Si Ling pretended to be nonchalant as he glanced at the man's face, took the file handed over by Du Yu and flipped it open.

  Du Yu and Chu Xia were both meeting the mayor for the first time, and Lu Shuai was a stern-faced man. They couldn't help but be cautious and nervous, afraid that if they weren't careful, the mayor would turn his anger on them.

  You're really just like your dad, scary. Early summer secretly drew on the palm of her best friend's hand, exchanging feelings, and said, "Mianmian, why aren't you nervous at all?"

  Man Man wasn't nervous at all since it wasn't their first meeting. Moreover, the mayor looked stern but every time she saw her here, her gaze was as kind and loving as Secretary Yao's.

  What's most important is that last time he even scolded Chiang's mother, which shows that he is a good official who can distinguish right from wrong.

  Lu didn't miss the trusting gaze from his daughter, her crescent-shaped eyes looked just like his young wife's. His fingertips rubbed against the table, pretending to think while being a bit distracted, drifting back to the days when he and his wife used to date.

  Cough cough, anyway, how should we take down these few evil insects?

  "The mayor." Comrade Secretary grabbed the phone and said to Lu Commander, "Secretary Yao said he is coming over with the director now."

  "Very good." Commander Lu said with two words and patted his thigh.

  The head of a certain department hung his head in shame.

  Undeterred, Raven stepped forward: "Mayor, it was indeed she who plagiarized my work."

  "What did you say?" Chu Xia was enraged, especially thinking that he had taken her U-disk, "Don't spout nonsense, it's clear that you stole Manman's work. — Mayor, this person was originally the main designer of our cooperative company, and we only handed over the work to him for review."

  "Early summer." Calm and composed Manman reminded her best friend of the occasion.

  Early summer picked up the ungracious hand, stifling: "Obviously it was him..."

  Take two steps forward, facing Léi Wénbīn, Mánmàn said calmly: "Teacher Léi, actually I've never read your work, so I'm very curious about what you said was plagiarism. Now, in front of the city leaders, let's take out our respective works and see if it's plagiarism."

  Lei Wenbin was confident about this, as it is a rule in the cultural circle that whoever speaks first is the original creator. He flipped out his own work disk from his pocket and said: "The design works here have dates much earlier than yours, don't believe me? Take a look."

  Her eyebrows suddenly changed direction, and it was indeed Wen Huan who was kneeling on the ground.

  Received Meng Meng's profound and meaningful gaze, Wen Huan, who was originally going to take advantage of Lei Wenbin's counterattack to turn the tables, raised her eyebrows.

  Such a sister, even if she mixes in the cultural circle in the future, I don't know how much bad influence she will bring. She would rather have broken the other's wings now.

  The crescent moon suddenly emitted a sharp light, causing Du Yu to hand over the platter carrying his work.

  Du Yu, who is well-versed in the unwritten rules of the cultural circle, couldn't help but feel anxious when handing over things.

  This mood affected people like Lu Siling and others.

  "Otherwise, let's wait for Secretary Yao to come over." suggested Comrade Secretary.

  The daughter's eyes, like starlight, shone with determination, fearless and dauntless, just like his temperament.

  Since I haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of!

  "Not needed!" The two words were decisive, Commander Lu slammed his palm on the table, "Release them now, both works."

  Right away, the people below prepared two laptops and simultaneously released Raven's and ManMan's works.

  On the left is Manman's work, on the right is Levin's work.

  Left screen: A rice paper graphic, in the form of a Chinese painting scroll story, expresses the theme of the bidding advertisement project. The background is in ink style, and the objects in the picture are made by mud people paste-up method, making the picture meaning break through from 2D to 3D form, giving innovation and traditional cultural connotation a perfect combination, making it refreshing.

  It's not just locals, but also foreign tourists who will stop and admire it.

  Right screen: Also a rice paper picture, in the form of a Chinese painting scroll story chain ring, expressing the theme of the bidding advertisement project, the background adopts ink style, and the objects in the painting are also made by mud people paste.

  At a glance, the two paintings have 99% similarity in form, which can be said to be plagiarism.

  Du Yu covered his eyes, and now he has seen Lei Wenbin's work with his own eyes. It is worse than he imagined. This charge of plagiarism will be difficult to clear.

  Early summer took a deep breath, clenching his fists in anger, wanting to rush up and punch Levin directly.

  Reborn Raven, with his hair tied back, stood effortlessly, only occasionally glancing warily at the man with icy cold eyes a few steps away.

  Wen Yu is trying to stand up: If Manman is convicted of plagiarism, she has no fault.

  Suddenly, a refined voice came from the doorway: "No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like the same work."

  "Secretary Yao." Several people shouted.

  Lei Wenbin was taken aback, and just as he saw the seemingly gentle and kind municipal party secretary walking in, he seemed to have scanned him with profound meaning, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

  "What do you think, Comrade Secretary?" Commander Lu naturally had his own thoughts, but he was always afraid that others would think he was biased, so it's better to let an outsider make the judgment.

  "These two pieces of work, I don't see them as being the same," said Secretary Yao affirmatively.

  Comrade Secretary, this remark of yours raises doubts: this...

  Lei Wenbin: Obviously it was his plagiarism of Mianmian's work, how did it become completely unrecognizable?

  "Secretary, didn't you see? She used ink as the base and mud people stuck on it."

  "She didn't use ink as the base, nor did she paste mud people on it." Secretary Yao narrowed his eyes and admired Yan's work at a closer distance. He couldn't help but be amazed in his heart, and at this moment he was convinced that Yan's stunning performance at the Full Moon Banquet that night was not just a one-time thing.

  "Really?!" Raven Bin exclaimed in surprise, hastily turning over the computer screen and scanning it up and down.

  "Miss Wan, would you please explain to everyone?" Secretary Yao looked around and saw that almost everyone on the scene was confused, so he invited the main creator of the work, Wanwan, to come and explain.

  Manman secretly admired: This literary and refined municipal party secretary is really extraordinary.

  Because the bidding project has not officially started, what Xiaokou gave to the leader and what she showed to Xiaokou's company people and Le Wenbin were just a painting without any text explanation. Relying solely on the picture, if you don't carefully ponder it, it is indeed very easy for people to misunderstand it as Le Wenbin interpreted it. In fact, it is -

  "I can say with certainty that my work is completely different from Mr. Lei's. This painting of mine employs a theatrical technique used in court banquet performances, which is shadow play."

  "Shadow---play---" Before Le Wenbin's eyes, many small stars suddenly appeared, after finally seeing the opposite shadow processing in each of Manman's works.

  "These so-called paste-up mud people are not mud people, but shadow screens. It's just that in the painting, I plan to express a sense of luxury with more vibrant colors, using the palace's yellow system."

  After this explanation by Manman, not only did the accusation of plagiarism against Le Wenbin fail to hold up, but it was also clear that Le Wenbin had shot himself in the foot.

  If there were a hole in the ground right now, Lai Wenbin would be eager to bury himself immediately.

  However, let alone underground tunnels, he can't escape anywhere.

  Several public security personnel walked in at the entrance.

  Click, shiny handcuffs were put on several suspects in the house who were involved in bribery and leaking business secrets, plagiarism and other crimes.

  "Sister——" Wen Yu was frightened and rushed over to grab Manman's leg.

  The hand didn't catch the tendril, but was suddenly pushed away by a shoe.

  Eyes staring down at her cold face: This man, why does he always help her sister, is it?

  Just as she was about to shout out those two words, the cold eyes flashed with light, and the shoe swept across her face, sending her tumbling to the ground.

  "Take him away." Icy tone, eyes full of authority, just a flash of cold light.

  Others didn't say a word and immediately pulled Wen Huan up from the ground and dragged her away.

  Manman didn't see what happened because she was pulled away by someone who was eager to explain her work in detail. When she turned back, she found that her sister and Raven had both disappeared without a trace. After asking around, she learned that they had been taken away by public security personnel to assist with the investigation.

  Reached into the pocket and touched the mobile phone, thinking about who to call for bail.

  Maybe a night in jail will clear Wen Huan's head. The hand that was about to make the call pulled back.

  On this side, Commander Lu and Secretary Yao were having a heart-to-heart conversation with Du Yu and others, saying: "The determination to deal with corrupt officials, our government has always been doing it, and we will never compromise with evil forces. However, you can't not believe in the government's determination, and you can't watch other people become corrupt and follow them to walk the relationship and become corrupt. If there is injustice, no need to spend a single penny, come directly to us to appeal."

  "I understand, Mayor, Secretary." Du Yu wiped his sweat and replied cautiously.

  It feels like I almost went down the wrong path myself.

  If it weren't for Jiang Dashao and Manman, he would never be allowed to go buy connections.

  "Comrade Du Yu." It was heard that Jiang Dashao said, this young couple took care of their daughter all the way until now. Lu Shuai patted Du Yu's shoulder and said, "When you have time, let's have a meal together, I'll represent the government to apologize to you."

  Huh?

  Du Yu became wooden.

  "I think it's better to seize the day than wait for a good day. Let's do it tonight." suggested Secretary Yao.

  Lu thought this was a great idea and could use it as an excuse to have dinner with his daughter.

  It's unclear why, but in early summer, I walked past my husband who was standing there blankly and asked: "What's wrong?"

  The owl slowly turned its head, with an expression that was neither crying nor laughing: The mayor wants to invite us to dinner.

  Early summer blinked twice, and then stared blankly.

  It's almost time to get off work, so the mayor had someone go start the car.

  Manman knew about this matter at the time. Because good friends and brothers were "kidnapped" by the mayor, they were forced to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.

  There were many people, so the mayor was frugal and called a van to take them all for a ride together.

  This is great. Chunxia and Manman are sitting in the front row, with Mayor Lu and Du Yu in the front row, and the driver's seat is the driver and Junye who leads the way.

  The most tense on the road was Du Yu, who suddenly had a big ups and downs in the afternoon, and accompanied the mayor to sit in the car, dazed, as if in a dream.

  Mayor Lu asked: How long have you several been together?

  To understand daughters better, it is important to get in touch with people around them.

  He wants to be a father like Wen Shi Xuan, and can't help but understand his daughter.

  "We are from the same university." Du Yu stuttered and spoke intermittently to the mayor.

  I can feel my husband's tense mood, and in the early summer, we were both sitting in the back, scared to death, not even daring to breathe. But the mayor didn't let her off, turning his head to ask her: "How long have you two known each other? Are you her best friend?"

  Early summer has not adjusted yet, so nervous can't answer questions.

  "Mayor Lu, she's my best friend and once saved my life."

  "Did she save your life?" Mayor Lu heard that Chunxia had saved his daughter's life, and his appreciation for her doubled.

  Receiving Mayor Lu's meaningful and grateful gaze, Chūshun choked on his saliva: This... seems a bit off.

  When he arrived at the restaurant, Mayor Lu did not forget to reward the great contributor who had informed him of this matter and sent someone to pick up his son-in-law.

  Jiang Dashao had just arrived and was eager to sit next to his wife, but was pulled away by his buddy Du Yu to the corner.

  "You said you could find a clean official to help Mengmeng get justice, but the one you found is too big." Du Yu said, himself becoming incoherent, unable to describe his emotions at this moment.

  "Isn't this good enough?" Comfortingly patting Du Lao Da's shoulder, Jiang Da Shao raised an eyebrow and asked if Lu Lao Da's performance today could score points in his wife's heart.

  Du Yu listened to his careful questioning, and this heart was even more puzzled: what's going on here?

  It is said that Chiang Dazuo went through Comrade Junye's relationship to get in touch with Mayor Lu. However, Mayor Lu's interest in Manman doesn't seem to be something new today.

  This meal was the most bitter one he and his wife had ever eaten in their lives.

  The reason is that the mayor himself paid out of his own pocket to invite them to dinner, and what's more, he invited them to have the best dishes and wine.

  "Eat more, take whatever you want." Mayor Lu yelled at the crowd to open their stomachs, while his eyes were fixed on his daughter's thin body. As a father, his heart ached and felt sour, so he quietly put down his chopsticks and asked his son, "You see, get something nutritious for your sister."

  "Tonics are not suitable for her now, it's better to nourish her after she gives birth and sits the month." The professionally-minded Jun Ye had thought of this problem long ago.

  The light in his cold eyes quietly fell on some colors, thinking of the weight of holding her up twice, he was very hesitant about whether to let her have children.

  "Are they planning to have children?" asked Lu Shuai.

  "It's hard to say if it has already happened." Master Jun honestly replied to his father.

  Lu Lao's displeased gaze stared at Jiang Dashao: How did you make my daughter a mother so quickly?

  Receiving a glare from Lu's father, Jiang Dashi straightened his back and served soup to his wife: "You're not eating much, drink more soup."

  Recently, my appetite has been pretty good, and it's even increased a bit.

  Seeing that she had finished a bowl of plain white rice that she usually couldn't finish, Jiang Da Shao smiled with satisfaction and gave her some more dishes.

  His eyes seemed to be thinking of something and then turned back.

  Lala pulled at her husband's hem and said: "I saw Shifu walk out with a lot on his mind, I wonder what happened again."

  "I'll go take a look." Patting his wife's hand, Comrade Jiang Yan temporarily handed her over to Chunxia and walked out.

  Sitting at the flower bed by the entrance of the restaurant, Du Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket and was worried that he had no lighter.

  A lighter flame was handed in front of him, he hastily took a sip, lit the cigarette, and said to Jiang Dashao who had brought charcoal in snow: "Thanks."

  "Du, is there something else bothering you? Let it out and I'll help you relieve your worries," said Jiang Dashao. "If it's Xiaok trying to threaten you into handing over the art gallery again, I can help you find someone to talk to him. However, after this incident, I think he won't be doing that anymore, instead, he'll come begging to you."

  "I'm not worried about these things." Du Yu sucked on his cigarette, his eyes gazing through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window at Manman sitting with her husband.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Let's be honest with each other. Actually, before this, my wife and I both found it strange why the two of you often ran to the art gallery. You said that Jiang Dashi ran to the art gallery to chase after Manman, we all understand that. But these two guys, they're not chasing after Manman, what are they doing running here to find Manman?"

  "Does Big Brother Du think this is worrying you?" Jiang Dashao found Du Yu's reaction quite strange, someone cares about Manman and them not being a good thing?

  He let out a long sigh, accompanied by a hint of melancholy, and said: "Not to mention them, but you, Jiang Dashao, the thoughts of you officials are really hard for us to fathom. Occasionally, my wife and I both think about Mengmeng, wondering whether it's good or bad for her to marry you."

  Upon hearing Du Yu's words, Jiang Dashao raised an eyebrow in displeasure: "You can't go back on this!"

  "Mangmang has married you, we have nothing to regret. But can you tell us what's going on with Mayor Lu and Mangmang?"

  "It's nothing." A cold voice suddenly appeared above Du Yu's head.

  Du Yu straightened his back, looking up at Lu Shang like a primary school student: "Principal Lu."

  His wife dared to scold him in early summer, but he didn't dare.

  It's just that sometimes in early summer, his wife is a bit out of her mind.

  Jun Ye could tolerate his wife's Chu Xia, he had seen it early on, all because of Man Man.

  "Boss Du, I hope you understand that there are some things you should know and some things you'd better not know. Like today, you've seen it all."

  Your words carry a hint of intimidation.

  Du Yu didn't dare ask anything else and hastily walked back to the restaurant.

  Jiang Dashao didn't interrupt, just as Jun Ye said, Du Yu knew even less about some things, and it was all beneficial to him.

  However, it was clear that Du Yu had already made up his mind about this matter.

  ……

  Police station cell.

  After hearing the sound of the door creaking open, in walked Yang Le'er and Wang Hai, both wearing sunglasses.

  Not Wen Shi Xuan, Not Xu Yu E, Not Man Man.

  Yang Le'er took off her sunglasses and saw a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Her sharp voice questioned, "Who are you waiting for? Who do you think will appear? And, hiding from me, doing such stupid things with that stupid pig, how can the Lu family still accept you, how can the Yao family still accept you?"

  "It's fine, I don't need you to care about me anymore." Turning around, hugging knees and lowering head.

  The cell is cold, but it's better than going back to face that crazy woman.

  Yang Le'er's breathing became tight, and several times when looking at her, it seemed as if she saw another pair of crescent-shaped eyes.

  "Le Er, what's wrong? Let's take her home and talk about it later." Seeing that she was having another episode, Wang Hai supported her and said.

  The man's gaze made her body feel cold: "No need, I can stay here."

  "Do you want to get rid of me?" A hand with long fingernails reached out and grasped her hair.

  Her hair was like being pulled out by the roots, it hurt so much that she shed tears, her eyes staring fiercely at this crazy woman.

  "I'm telling you, you've been eating my food and using my things for so many days, I've invested so much in you, it's time you paid me back."

  "It's what you said, the Lu family doesn't want me anymore, and it's impossible for the Yao family to want me either. What do you think I can still do for you?"

  His cruel mouth corners, his gaze locked her up like a prison: "Go with me first, anyway you can't escape from my palm."

  Walked out of prison, but didn't feel relieved at all.

  Wen Yu looked at the road in front of her, which was pitch black. For a moment, she missed the small attic in the grocery store, with its windowsill, where the morning sunlight would shine in and make her feel warm. But if she followed this crazy woman back, all the windows would have to be tightly closed.

  "Do you miss your real parents?"

  Scoffs and cold sarcasm had become nothing to her.

  As Weiwei said, she really regretted it.

  After being scolded by Commander Lu today, she finally understood that not everyone can be the young lady of the Lu family. No wonder this woman is not liked by the people in the Lu family and is isolated from them.

  "No matter who she is or where she stands, it won't change the fact that your delusional fantasies will eventually lead to the same downfall as mine."

  Hiss!

  Sharp fingernails stretched out and grasped her hair: "You little rascal, now it's time to teach me a lesson?"

  "Le Er." Wang Hai, who was stopping Yang Le Er, said anxiously, "Don't forget, we need her to catch the real Cang Cang."

  Baby?

  Thinking of that man repeatedly defending her sister, at that moment, she seemed to see something in her heart. But, was warned by the man with a kick.

  Close your eyes, and feel cold all over.

  Yang Le'er's low and menacing voice sounded in her ear: "Listen carefully, I'm sending you back to the Wen family now. You find out for me where that jade pendant Nainai is wearing really came from."

  ……

  After dinner with the mayor, Manman and others were preparing to take a ride back. Du Yu was forced by the mayor to drink some wine, leaning on his wife's shoulder and talking. Chuxia listened to her husband murmuring, but couldn't make out what he was saying for a long time, wrinkling her nose.

  Manman ate a bit too much tonight, grasping her husband's arm and whispering: "Yuan Yuan was taken away by the police station, I don't want Dad to worry, can you take a day off tomorrow to go with me to see him?"

  "Lock her up for a few days and then we'll talk." Towards his wife's extremely spoiled younger sister, Jiang Da Shao didn't show any intention of being gentle.

  "I was going to keep it from her for a few days, but there's no wall that doesn't leak air, and if my dad finds out first, it'll be bad."

  The Jun Ye who heard the two of them talking, especially after hearing Wen Shi Xuan, turned his head around, with a flash of cold eyes: "If it's about Wen Huan, she has already been bailed out by someone."

  Jiang Dashao and his wife looked at Jun Ye with a hint of suspicion.

  His gaze swept over her empty and barren neck without leaving any marks, and when he brought it back, his lips were tightly pursed.

  It's impossible to get Wen Shixuan to open up, can only use Wen Huan instead.

  At the same time, let Wen Huan suffer more hardships in Yang Le'er's hands, which is definitely more painful than being in prison.

  As for Yang Le'er, the days of "buzzing" in her brain are almost over.

  When the corner of her mouth slightly hooked up, she carefully looked in another direction where she couldn't see anything.
