Chapter 7: She's Not Proud. It's inferiority

In front of the dresser. She burst into tears. Since reuniting with Jiang Hao. She often shed tears. I didn't think it was hard to take care of a child alone. It's now. The more I think about it, the more I feel how thorny and bumpy the road I have traveled before.

People are forgetful. Well, the scar forgot the pain. This sentence is very apt. It's also very true.

She reached out to wipe her tears. But when I raised my hand, I accidentally bumped into the open drawer. Drawer on the dresser. It's all very shallow. The drawer is stretched too open. It fell off after another bump.

This one down. She saw the contents of the second drawer.

That's two brocade boxes of different sizes. One big and one small. Her heart ached all at once. She shook her hands and slowly took out the brocade box. Open the big . Inside is that diamond necklace that is worth a lot of money. I said I was going to return. And then those things happened. There was no return.

Open the small one again. That's her wedding ring. That little diamond still shines brightly. She picked up the ring and put it on her finger. It's a little tight. The ring has not changed. It's her fingers that are getting rough.

Tears flowed uncontrollably. She packed everything up. Put the drawer back in its place as well. Look at yourself in the mirror. I can't help but feel sad. I'm not getting old. Am I getting ugly.

Walk to the bedside. The cotton bedding is soft and warm to the touch. The pillow on one side is towering. The pillow on the other side has a bit of a collapse in the middle. There is also a little short hair on it.

She lifted the quilt and lay down slowly. Habitually reach under the pillow. Fingers touched something. Take a look at it. It turned out to be a picture of her.

She in the photo. Facing the sun. Squinting. Laugh sweetly.

Once again, the tears were gone

Jiang Jia. Jiang Hao hurried home. The meals on the table have long since become cold. Lin Caiyin sat on the sofa. Frowning. Stay in the eyes. It seems to have aged a lot all at once.

Over the years. I have seen many high-ranking officials who have fallen one after another. Some time ago, I came to visit my home. Sit together and talk and laugh. Suddenly, he became a prisoner.

This. It's actually a terrible thing.

She finally understood. Why would Jiang Hao stubbornly put the official daughter who was in charge of the door and didn't look for it. You have to find an ordinary girl.

One person commits a crime. The whole family is affected.

Jiang Hao came over." Mother. Mother. Why don't you even eat?"

Lin Caiyin looked at her son sadly. The first sentence is." A Hao. You're right. We shouldn't be so close to them. They're going to investigate us if something happens?? Your dad must have been wronged. How many years has he been retired?"

Jiang Hao calmed down. Say, "Don't worry. The rice should also be delicious. I just called Director Chen. Director Chen only said let me relax."

Lin Caiyin grabbed Jiang Hao's wrist. I'm in a hurry." Director Chen didn't say anything else."

"Nope. Things are still under investigation. I'm my father's son again. You can't tell me too much. It would be nice if he could answer my call."

Lin Caiyin panicked. Intermittently said: "Ah Hao. I?? I don't sneak anymore?? Received gifts from others. Your dad?? He always scolded me for taking other people's things. I'm just thinking about what happens if people take it with their hearts. I don't dare anymore."

Jiang Hao couldn't laugh or cry. It's the first time I've seen my mother look so anxious and scared." What kind of gifts did you secretly accept from others?"

"I don't dare to accept valuable things. Just collect some specialties or something. When your dad asked, he said I bought it. Actually, it was given by someone."

"Mom. You relax. It doesn't matter."

"Really."

Jiang Hao sighed. It's true. This is not the same thing as corruption. Don't worry."

Lin Caiyin said: "Oops. I'm scared. Look at Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Chow. I've been with them a lot. The husband suddenly fell off the horse. No one dares to come near them anymore. Ay. I don't know how they're doing now. Decades of old sisters."

Jiang Hao sat with his mother. Officialdom is a battlefield without gunpowder. The political struggle is definitely not easier than fighting a war with real guns and live ammunition. Victor King. Loser Cole. All have to pay a terrible price.

"Daddy has something to do. I'm sure I can't get out of it. I haven't heard anything so far. So ah. You can rest assured. Dad will definitely be fine. Don't think about everything badly. We're doing the right thing. It's going to be fine."

Under Jiang Hao's repeated emphasis and constant reassurance. Lin Caiyin was a little relieved.

"Auntie. Heat up all the food. Add an extra pair of chopsticks. Mother. You can't skip a meal. It just so happens that I didn't eat it either. Shall I eat with you?"

"Yes. Okay."

The babysitter quickly heated the meal. Mother and son sat down to eat together. It's been a long time since they've sat down to eat together. It's a rare one.

Jiang Hao left home for a month. me and ask about it." A Hao. If you come back this time, don't go to Linzhou again. You took such a long leave of absence when you first took office. How to explain to the troops. Don't go any further." The old ones have to worry about. The small ones have to worry about. She's just worried about her life.

Jiang Hao readily agreed." Good. Not going." My wife and son are gone. What is he going to do. In the future, I will travel to small towns when I have time. It's still good.

Lin Caiyin finally encountered something happy. A faint smile appeared on his face that he had not seen in a long time." Hehe. You're finally willing to listen to me. Don't blame me for being too talkative. You can give the household registration book to Qiao Xinwei. Let her move her hukou early. I have to move again in the future."

Jiang Hao said: "Mom. I went for a month. Do you think your son hasn't gotten her back yet?"

"You?? Oops, you just want to be angry with me, aren't you" Lin Caiyin became angry again.

"Haha. Mother. Don't be angry. You should be happy."

"I'm glad hell. Why are you so blind to her?"

Jiang Hao thought about it carefully. said, "I'm just so dead to her. How." He asked rhetorically. Mother. In all fairness. What don't you like about her? Don't you think she's a good girl?"

Lin Caiyin holds the bowl. Stop the chopsticks. "She's a good girl. But she's too proud. It's clear that she climbed our house. But she still looks tall. It makes me feel very uncomfortable." She doesn't think Qiao Xinwei's ordinary background is bad now. Instead, dissatisfied with her character.

"Oh. You don't think she's stammering you, you're not pleasing you, right?" Jiang Hao broke it with a word. Lin Caiyin didn't have anything to say." Mother. She's not proud. She has low self-esteem."

"Low self-esteem." Lin Caiyin didn't understand.

"yes. She has low self-esteem to be so strong. Others say that she married me to Tuqian Tu status. The truth is. She doesn't want my money or my status. She didn't want me at all when she got divorced. You have to think it's her pride. Then she's proud. She lives proudly more than anyone else."

Lin Caiyin was silent. Jiang Hao continued: "You don't allow people to have their own little pride and temper. You have to be curry favor with you before you can feel that she has you in her heart. You. I've been spoiled by my dad for so many years."

"Me??"

"Mom. You don't deny it. The reason why you don't like her. It's because she doesn't flatter you like other girls to please you. Right, no."

Jiang Hao hit with a word. Lin Caiyin was a little ashamed. It's vanity. Jiang Hao was not wrong at all. She also suffered when she was younger. Later, the old man had an achievement. She just got better. Later, his son also had success. Her heart was a little floating. I always feel that no one is worthy of my son.

"Fortunately, I have a good temper and don't care. She smiled and passed when you picked on the thorns. You're good. It's still going to be an inch. Don't use her concessions as a bargaining chip for you to bully her."

Lin Caiyin denied it. Who bullied her"

Jiang Hao sighed. Anyway. I'm not going to let her go. It's okay for you to accept it. Don't accept it. Someone who will live with me for the rest of my life. That's her."

Lin Caiyin looked at him with a determined look. I really don't know what to say. At the moment, the situation of the old man is not clear. She didn't have the heart to talk about Qiao Xinwei.

"Mom. Wait for a while. I'll surprise you."

"What."

"Huh. Keep it a secret first. All in all, it's a good thing."

Lin Caiyin gave him a blank look. Left is just remarriage. What else could there be." I still like Coin Fong. Obedient and sensible."

"Then you've been with her."

"You??"

Then. The sound of cars sounded outside. It is Director Chen's special car. Director Chen personally sent Jiang Zhizhong back. Jiang Hao and Lin Caiyin put down their chopsticks and hurriedly went out to greet each other.

Jiang Zhizhong is in good spirits. Talking and laughing with Director Chen, he walked inside. I saw my wife and children coming out of the house. He smiled and said, "Ah Hao is back. All right. I came back after dinner with Director Chen. So it took a bit of time."

Director Chen also said: "Didn't I just say a few words. Sister-in-law. Why are you so nervous? He also called Chief Jiang back."

"Huh. I'm an old woman who doesn't understand. Makes you smile." A false alarm. Lin Caiyin held Jiang Zhizhong's hand tightly. It's been almost forty years of ups and downs. Say nothing." Just come back. It's good to come back."

Lin Caiyin helped Jiang Zhizhong to walk into the house. Director Chen told Jiang Hao something about Jin Zijian. Jiang Hao was stunned. That's the teacher who promoted him. In amazement. He was more sad and disappointed.

It turned out that he heard Sister Pan say "Jin Lao" in the Linzhou Hotel that day, which was "Jin Lao".

In the incident of Hong Chunyan slashing people with a knife in Linzhou. Pan Sophie's roster was found from the hotel. There are transaction records with the surnames of several high-ranking officials. Pan Sophie is a well-known prostitute. Offering services to many successful people in high society. There are famous businessmen. There are also dignitaries. Among them, there are corruption crimes involving a number of high-ranking officials.

And the reason why Pan Sophie has been so arrogant for many years. And has escaped police raids many times. The most important reason is that Jin Zijian constantly provides her with police movements behind her back. Pan Sophie is actually Jin Zijian's lover who has been kept for many years. The relationship between the two has lasted for more than two decades.

One is a sixty-year-old retired cadre. One is a forty-year-old nightclub bustard. If it weren't for the East Window incident. No one would have guessed that they were in this relationship.
