The conflict between Sun Bai and Jiang Pei has been going on for a long time. Jiang Pei has always been a popular figure in the education circle of Hanzhou. Even though she was known to be married, many people still pursued her. Sun Bai knew this, so he kept a tight control on Jiang Pei. Over time, Jiang Pei couldn't stand Sun Bai's strong desire for control, so she tried to break free from Sun Bai's control, which led to conflicts and disagreements between the couple. In addition, Jiang Pei's family often had accidents, and the conflict between the couple became more and more serious.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh again." Jiang Pei lowered her head and said in a depressed tone, "We have actually been trying to get a divorce, but Sun Bai always backs off with various excuses. I've had enough of his torture of me."
Fang Zhicheng didn't know how to comfort Jiang Pei, so he could only change the subject and said, "By the way, why haven't you gotten off work yet so late? Sun Bai must be worried about your safety, so he drove here to pick you up."
"You thought too highly of him. Sun Bai is a conspiracy theorist. He thought I was planning to have an affair with someone tonight, so he came to catch me on purpose." Jiang Pei shook her head and sighed, "Tonight our department is preparing materials for the district's industrial mayors' meeting in a few days, so we were delayed a little."
Fang Zhicheng nodded. He naturally knew about the Industrial Town Mayors' Meeting and said, "Sun Bai, sometimes you are too impulsive. It is better to investigate everything thoroughly before making a decision."
Jiang Pei didn't say anything else. The car fell into an awkward silence. After a long while, she said, "District Chief Fang, are you curious about who sent me that ambiguous text message?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious, but with his identity, it was really difficult to ask such a secret matter. He smiled and said, "You are quite smart, but if you find it inconvenient, you can ignore my curiosity."
Jiang Pei sighed and explained, "Lao Kou, the deputy chief of our department, has been texting me recently. I didn't think anything was wrong at first, and thought he liked to send jokes to his colleagues, but he sent me that ambiguous text message at around eleven o'clock last night, which made me feel a little strange."
Fang Zhicheng knew who the old Kou that Jiang Pei mentioned was. He was a well-known old-timer in the district government. He was almost fifty years old and was still the deputy chief of a department. He was basically waiting for retirement.
Fang Zhicheng said: "I will ask District Chief Zhang to investigate this matter."
Jiang Pei laughed and said, "Do I seem to be a snitch?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "As long as the situation is true, what's the problem with making a small report? The staff of the district government is a bit complicated, and they need to be replaced. Otherwise, the quality is uneven, which will affect the work atmosphere."
Jiang Pei stared at Fang Zhicheng seriously for a few seconds and said with emotion: "District Chief Fang, you are more mature than I thought."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Why, do you think I'm childish?"
Jiang Pei said: "People are like this. They judge people by their appearance first. Only when they get to know each other more will they discover their temperament and connotation."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Then let's get in touch more often in the future." Then he felt that what he said was a bit ambiguous, so he changed the subject and said, "Is your family taking this road?"
Jiang Pei nodded and said, "Yes, you have a good memory. Oh, I forgot to thank you last time. If you hadn't used the excuse of sending me home to help me out, I'm afraid that old pervert Wang Nansheng would have pestered me, and I don't know how I would have gotten away."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake. I've discovered that your circle of educators is extremely chaotic."
Jiang Pei blushed, but did not refute. She sighed, "It's mainly because of some people that the atmosphere has become sour."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Jiang Pei from time to time, and an indescribable subtle feeling was growing in his heart.
Fang Zhicheng suddenly admired Zhang Xiaoliang, because this guy must have seen that he had an inexplicable affection for Jiang Pei, so he transferred Jiang Pei to his side. He used to think that Zhang Xiaoliang was doing something unnecessary, but he never realized that Zhang Xiaoliang had anticipated his intentions.
Although Fang Zhicheng and Jiang Pei had no previous relationship, if they worked in the same compound and got along for a long time, who could guarantee that nothing would happen
Zhang Xiaoliang transferred Jiang Pei to the district government and hinted to Jiang Pei that this was all for Fang Zhicheng's sake. Jiang Pei naturally had a good impression of Fang Zhicheng, and Zhang Xiaoliang indirectly did Fang Zhicheng a favor.
After sending Jiang Pei downstairs, Fang Zhicheng did not leave immediately. He opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and looked at the floor, guessing which household Jiang Pei lived in. After finishing the cigarette, Fang Zhicheng was about to leave when Jiang Pei came downstairs angrily and walked straight to the Volvo.
"What's wrong?" Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion when he saw Jiang Pei got directly into the passenger seat.
Jiang Pei said coldly: "He changed the locks, and I can't get into the house!"
Fang Zhicheng was speechless for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "He actually changed the key in such a short time. He was really fast."
Jiang Pei said bitterly: "He had planned this a long time ago. He probably had already changed the key before he came to the district government to find me. This is not the first time he has done this. He just wants to torture me."
Fang Zhicheng said with great emotion: "What should we do now? How about I send you to your friends or classmates? If that doesn't work, I can send you to Sanyuan Bridge, to your father's place?"
Jiang Pei shook her head, her eyes wandering on Fang Zhicheng's face for a long time, and said: "I will follow you tonight, wherever you go, I will follow you."
Jiang Pei's words were too bold. Fang Zhicheng was shocked. He scratched his head and said, "Teacher Jiang, if you say something, you have to be responsible for it."
Jiang Pei laughed at herself and said, "District Chief Fang, we are all adults and can be responsible for our words and deeds. What I just said couldn't be clearer. If you still don't understand, it only means that you are playing dumb, which is meaningless."
Fang Zhicheng didn't have much contact with Jiang Pei, but he already had a general understanding of Jiang Pei's character. She was a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and had experienced a lot. In other words, Sun Bai's suspicion that Jiang Pei had a problem with her behavior outside was reasonable. Jiang Pei might be a person who viewed relationships between men and women casually.
Fang Zhicheng's mood was very complicated at the moment, because Jiang Pei was indeed a natural beauty, and any man would find it difficult to control himself when faced with her temptation. However, Fang Zhicheng did not know Jiang Pei well enough. If she was approaching him intentionally and it was a trap set by her opponent, what should he do
Fang Zhicheng was a little worried, but he started the car first, so that Jiang Pei, the mermaid, could not get off the boat for the time being.
Jiang Pei observed Fang Zhicheng and saw that he did not express anything. She felt complicated and regretted the tempting words she had just said.
Jiang Pei is not a fickle woman. The reason why she said that to Fang Zhicheng was actually just to retaliate against her husband Sun Bai's abnormal behavior. When the words have been spoken, it is hard to take them back. She can only hope that Fang Zhicheng is a gentleman and does not take her wrong words to heart.
The Volvo drove for about ten minutes and stopped at a motel in the west of the city. Fang Zhicheng turned off the engine and took out the car keys. Looking at Jiang Pei who was in a daze, he asked with a smile, "What? Do you regret it?"
Jiang Pei's face flushed. It was the first time for her to come to the hotel with a man late at night. Even with Sun Bai, she had never been in or out of the hotel. Jiang Pei finally got out of the car, snorted, and said, "Who regrets it? I just don't know if the environment here is sanitary or not."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Jiang Pei and said, "How can we know what's going on inside if we stand outside? Can't we just go in and take a look together?"
Jiang Pei got off the car nervously, and Fang Zhicheng walked in front and booked a room with the waiter. The waiter wanted to register her ID card, and Fang Zhicheng asked her to register Jiang Pei's identity information. At the same time, he leaned close to Jiang Pei's ear and asked her to fill in a wrong information and name. Jiang Pei was a little stunned at first, but soon realized that Fang Zhicheng was afraid of leaving traces and clues that could be used as a handle by others.
Jiang Pei's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly sighed that although Fang Zhicheng looked young, he must have done this kind of thing more than once or twice, otherwise how could he be so experienced.
Fang Zhicheng entered the house first and found that the environment was better than he had imagined. Seeing that Jiang Pei was reluctant to enter the room, he smiled and said to her, "Teacher Jiang, I have booked a room for you. You can rest here tonight. I didn't ask you to register your real information because your husband Sun Bai is particularly sensitive about this aspect and it is inevitable that something will happen."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng say this, Jiang Pei asked in confusion: "You... you... don't live here?"
