"Mom, I have a sense of responsibility for my own affairs, so don't worry about it." He said to his mother. She was leaving soon, so he sent her downstairs.
Xu Wenhua wanted to say something else later, but she also knew her son, and pushing too hard would backfire. Fortunately, Aaron reminded her this time, otherwise she and Dongyang would have really been at loggerheads.
"Dongyang, when are you going back to Binhai? See if you can spare some time. Your grandpa's birthday is coming soon. Let's go to Beijing to see your grandpa and grandma." Xu Wenhua said to his son when he got in the car.
"I know, Mom." He closed the car door for his mother, waved to her, and sent her into the car.
After sending his mother away, he left for the hospital. When he went to the hospital, Meng Yudong was wiping Zhou Ping's body. She rolled up her hair and sleeves, and wiped her mother's body very carefully.
After she wiped her mother's body, twisted the towel and left the ward, she saw Cheng Dongyang standing at the door.
She didn't show much expression and just said softly: "I'm going to stay in the hospital to accompany my mother tonight. Mayor Cheng, please go back, right?"
Cheng Dongyang knew that today was indeed enough for her. He could imagine how those people scared her, and he was afraid that she would not be able to recover now. "I will stay in the hospital with you tonight."
"No need." She said in a low voice, "The hospital medicine smells very strong and unpleasant. Mayor Cheng should go back to the hotel and rest!"
"Dongdong!" He held her face, "Let me say it again, I will be with you in the hospital tonight. I asked Qihang to bring a change of clothes, and you can take a shower later."
Meng Yudong couldn't refuse him. Men have always been domineering and autocratic.
"Everything is over, no one will hurt you in the future." He said, kissing the corner of her mouth, "I will take you to the VIP room I have booked. There is a bathroom inside. You go and take a shower first, and then we go
Have a meal."
Meng Yudong stiffened. What did he say? He said that no one would hurt her in the future. In other words, he knew what happened? Why did he know?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she still didn't move, Cheng Dongyang stopped. Now he was very patient with her, knowing that she was in a bad mood and was out of the situation.
She shook her head stiffly, and then followed him to the room he had reserved. She took her clothes and took a shower.
When the hot water washed down, many of her consciousness gradually returned and became clearer and clearer. She couldn't get rid of this man, couldn't break away, and she still had to continue to struggle with him.
She recalled the incident over and over again, including her father's death and her mother's critical illness. Everything was replayed over and over again in her mind. She couldn't think through it or understand it. She just felt a splitting headache.
When she came out again, he was leaning against the window on the phone. Seeing her coming out, he waved to her and motioned for her to come over.
Slowly she walked over, he held her in his arms and ended the call. "Do you feel better?"
"Do you know what happened to me?" She was in his arms, and her words were not a question, but an affirmation.
"I asked Aaron. That group of people are local gangsters here and have some connections with various people. Last time Aaron took the police there, they just detained them. I didn't expect that they released them after two days of detention."
Cheng Dongyang discovered that this girl was actually very thoughtful and very smart. She captured the key to the matter in just a few seconds.
"Did they really catch me just for revenge?" She thought of the two calls Mr. Ni had answered and looked up at him.
"What else do you think?" Cheng Dongyang raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Mr. Zhan saved me, right?"
"Yes, Aaron got the news, and the group was released, and through many contacts, he rescued you." Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he was secretly frightened, but there were many things that he could not tell her about at all costs.
Said.
Then why didn't Zhan Longhai say anything before and only said that he found her at the door of the hotel? There are loopholes in Cheng Dongyang's words. This is not the truth.
"Okay, let's go to dinner. What do you want to eat?" Cheng Dongyang didn't want to continue this topic, so he took his coat and hugged her out.
"I have no appetite." She said calmly. Her mother hadn't woken up yet. How could she have the appetite to eat?
"How much do you want to eat?" Cheng Dongyang insisted on taking her out. Geng Qihang drove his car and waited at the address. However, it started to rain outside and the sky was very dark. The night suddenly visited the city, and the sky was filled with roaring noises.
Roaring thunder.
"Why do you have to let me be by your side?" She said softly in his arms.
"Because I like you." Cheng Dongyang stroked her cheek with his thumb, "And I'm used to you, Dongdong. You know my work prevents me from spending more time with women. There's no reason.
It took me more than a year to get used to having you by my side, and I let you go so easily."
"What happens in the future?" she asked again, "You will still have a girlfriend and even a wife. Will you let me go?"
He looked at her intently: "Being around me really makes you so uncomfortable, huh? Don't you like me at all?"
Geng Qihang in the front was a little surprised when he heard that Mayor Cheng actually talked to a girl about their mutual liking.
She shook her head: "My mother is in a coma and begging me to promise her something. She said girls should respect themselves and not spoil themselves, let alone be a third party in other people's marriages. Can you promise me, once you are sure
If you have someone to marry, let me go."
Cheng Dongyang was a little surprised. He looked at her face with great seriousness and a bit of pleading. He said: "Okay, I promise you."
She finally relaxed and said, "I want to stay in Binhai Municipal Committee and work, is that okay?"
"What's wrong? Aaron's job is quite good, and the salary is higher than that in the municipal party committee." Cheng Dongyang felt that this girl's thoughts were very deep, and he couldn't understand it at the moment.
"I'm actually quite lazy. I'm used to working in the municipal party committee and I don't want to change. Is that okay?" This time, she looked into his eyes blankly and asked.
Cheng Dongyang knew it was not that simple, but later she thought that this girl had just experienced something like that and was exhausted physically and mentally. It would be good for her to stay in her original unit.
"Your mother, what are your plans?" He finally agreed and then asked.
She was silent for a few seconds. She wanted to be by her mother's side to take care of her, but work didn't allow it. She said, "Can you transfer her to a hospital in Binhai?"
"Let's do this. Let her still be treated in this hospital first. After all, the doctors here are familiar with her condition. When your mother gets better, I will ask Qihang to contact a better nursing home and hire a special nurse to take care of her. That way
Don’t worry,” Cheng Dongyang said.
After hearing this, Meng Yudong smiled, and just like that, she really became the woman kept by Cheng Dongyang, the real deal.
She couldn't describe how she felt, her heart was filled with sadness and pain, but she had no choice.
Cheng Dongyang's suggestion was also the best, so she could only accept it.
They went to a famous restaurant in Linghe for dinner. They had reserved a private room in advance, and he went there with Meng Yudong in his arms. Meng Yudong really didn't have much appetite, and Cheng Dongyang didn't eat much. It didn't take more than ten minutes to finish the meal.
.
Until her phone rang, she saw it was a call from the hospital and hurriedly answered it. After answering the phone, her face finally showed a hint of joy.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"My mom is awake." She said, this is the only thing that makes her happy now. "Let's go to the hospital, okay?"
"Let's go!" Cheng Dongyang put his arm around her waist.
When they arrived at the hospital, Zhou Ping did wake up, but her lower body was also paralyzed. She couldn't speak, her eyes were very wandering, and she didn't even react when she saw Meng Yudong coming.
"Dr. Lu, what happened to my mother?"
"Ms. Zhou's condition is also expected. She has intermittent amnesia, which means that she cannot remember recent events clearly, but she can remember events that are more distant. When she woke up, she kept screaming,
The light seems to be calling someone." Dr. Lu replied.
Light? She couldn't remember anyone whose name had the word "light" in it. Her mother had fallen asleep at this moment, and she looked distressed and even more uncomfortable.
"Actually, Ms. Zhou's condition is better than we expected. When her condition becomes more stable and rehabilitation can be arranged, she may still be able to stand up," the doctor said to her.
"Thank you, Doctor Lu." Meng Yudong breathed a sigh of relief. She sat beside her mother's bed and kissed the back of her mother's hand. "Mom, you must get well. Xiaodong and I are the only ones left with you.
You need to get better."
Cheng Dongyang and the doctor went out first: "Doctor Lu, I would like to ask you to find a more experienced nurse to take care of Ms. Meng, preferably one who will accompany you for a long time."
"No problem, Mayor Cheng." Dr. Lu saw him not once or twice, but he was used to it now. Knowing that the former mayor of Linghe had a close relationship with Meng Yudong, of course he also knew what to do.
Keep your mouth shut.
After arranging these, Cheng Dongyang saw that it was too late now, so he pulled Meng Yudong into his arms: "Let your mother rest quietly, you also need to take a nap."
Meng Yudong looked at him and nodded.
Back in the room, Cheng Dongyang explained his arrangements. The main reason was that Meng Yudong also took a lot of time off, and he wasted a lot of time. No one is idle, and they can't afford to waste time.
Meng Yudong also knew that what he said was reasonable, but she still refused to give up and said, "Can't we really transfer my mother to another hospital? I'm really worried about letting her stay in Linghe alone."
"There is special care here to take care of her. You can come back to take care of her from time to time. Don't worry. I will be pregnant tomorrow and you will go back to Binhai to work early. You will still come to Ji'an next month, you know?" before going to bed.
