Chapter 1590 He lied to her, and she vomited.
The alcohol briefly numbed her brain, and for some reason, the image of the woman named Du Peijun kept popping into Jiang Tong's mind.
There was a time when she wanted to be a ruthless and sharp woman like that, but she could never achieve it.
For example, sometimes when she sees that the company's employees are too tired, she tells them to go home and finishes the work herself.
She never slammed documents, banged on the table, or yelled at anyone. Her secretary said she was too gentle and not ruthless enough.
Jiang Tong thought a lot that day.
The next day was the Winter Solstice, and Xu Miaomiao came to the company to see her again, bringing two servings of dumplings.
"I was drinking yesterday, and I was worried you wouldn't have anything to eat today."
"How could I not have food?" Jiang Tong poured Xu Miaomiao a glass of water, and Xu Miaomiao opened her lunchbox.
"I bought a cabbage and beef dish, and a mushroom and pork dish. There's also vinegar here."
Jiang Tong sat on the sofa and suddenly remembered Aunt Zhang, who was also making dumplings today. She had asked her if Li Jingchen was coming back to eat them.
Xu Miaomiao seemed to sense what she was thinking and asked, "Isn't Li Jingchen coming back today?"
Jiang Tong snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't heard anything about them coming back."
Xu Miaomiao clicked her tongue in amazement. "I saw the news. Your husband attended the provincial political consultative conference yesterday. He's so powerful now. Is he going to abandon business for politics?"
Jiang Tong said, "It doesn't count. He is the chairman of Dijin and the founder of Dixin Technology. In addition, with the newly opened trade port of Nandi, as a first-generation entrepreneur, he is qualified to be a member of the CPPCC."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, "Then I don't know if he can help my dad. You know, my dad is in construction and has a small business. My dad even asked me to beg Li Jingchen."
Jiang Tong looked up. "Why don't you beg him yourself?"
Xu Miaomiao stirred her glass. "I slapped your husband before, and even though I apologized, he still doesn't like me."
Xu Miaomiao looked up. "Tongtong, could you ask him for me? I'll repay this favor, but if it doesn't work out, then forget it."
Jiang Tong put down her chopsticks and said helplessly, "Let's wait until he comes back. I can't even see him now."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and didn't say anything more.
Jiang Tong had thought that Li Jingchen wouldn't be back today.
But when she was driving to the bank that afternoon, she saw the car in front of her and froze.
Staring at that Maybach, it was his car.
A man got out of the car first from the driver's seat; it was Tao Guanglei.
Then Li Jingchen got out of the car, along with a woman.
The surprised smile in Jiang Tong's eyes suddenly vanished.
As they were talking, the woman turned around and Jiang Tong recognized her clearly – it was Du Peijun.
The driver asked, "Mr. Jiang, is that Mr. Li? Should we drive over there?"
"No need." Jiang Tong immediately told the driver to turn around.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the driver saw Jiang Tong looking somewhat disappointed and sad.
"President Jiang, the woman next to President Li just now wasn't as pretty as you. Don't overthink it."
Jiang Tong said calmly, "You're overthinking it. That's the vice president of his company."
The driver quickly said "oh," and Jiang Tong didn't say anything more.
The car slowly drove away.
This was the first time she had met Du Peijun.
She once dreamed of dominating the business world, but in the blink of an eye, she realized that she already had three children at the age of thirty.
She was completely tied down by her family.
This is the path she chose herself.
When she saw Du Peijun in person, she didn't have the courage to face anything or even go over to say hello.
"I am back."
"Madam, you're back."
Aunt Zhang stepped forward and helped Jiang Tong take off her coat.
Jiang Tong turned around and looked around. "Aunt Zhang, has Li Jingchen come back today?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head. "The master hasn't come back yet. Didn't you say he went to Hong Kong on a business trip?"
Jiang Tong said, "I was just asking casually, and it's fine if he doesn't come back."
He didn't come back for dinner that evening.
She told the children a lie, that he was still away on a business trip.
Jiang Mingyang raised his little face and said innocently, "Mom, Dad said he'll be back next week."
Jiang Tong ate her dumplings without saying a word.
He's already back.
So where is he now? And who is he with?
Perhaps that woman had more in common with him, or perhaps she understood his ambition better.
After taking a shower, she was about to change into her usual pajamas when she suddenly remembered something. So she changed into the pink lace tulle nightgown she had bought when she went shopping with Xu Miaomiao.
As I stepped out of the room, I saw Aunt Zhang, who had just put Xiao Er to sleep.
"Madam, you're still awake."
Jiang Tong lowered her head, gathered her chest, and smoothed her hair somewhat shyly. "I'll get myself a glass of water."
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look Jiang Tong up and down.
"Aunt Zhang, what are you looking at?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I was glad we lived in a big villa here. Otherwise, with your beauty, Mr. Li would definitely worry every day that you're being eyed by other men."
"Aunt Zhang, I'm a mother of three."
"But you're still young. You're only thirty. You have a happy family, a wealthy family and a good husband. You have everything."
"People can't have everything, maybe that's why they feel happier."
Jiang Tong poured herself a glass of water and said meaningfully.
Aunt Zhang watched as Jiang Tong's relieved smile and her face gradually turned red.
Only then did they notice that Jiang Tong was drinking red wine, not water.
"Madam, it's so late, you shouldn't drink alcohol."
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Tong said bitterly. “He still hadn’t come back after I finished this drink, so I went back to sleep.”
Aunt Zhang was puzzled. "Isn't Mr. Li still out of town? He's doing very well now."
"Yes, he's so successful he might have forgotten he has a family. I can't compare to him."
Aunt Zhang said, "Madam, don't overthink it. You are so good, gentle, beautiful, and kind. You never lose your temper with us servants. Even when Mr. Li is not here, you take such good care of the house. You are always the one who picks up the two young masters from school. You are a good wife and a good mother."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Jiang Tong felt a warmth in her heart. She returned to her room, just as Li Jingchen called her.
"You called me? Sorry, I was busy and didn't see it."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Not hearing Jiang Tong's voice, Li Jingchen asked again.
After a while, Jiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing, I was just asking when you'll be done with your work and going home."
Li Jingchen's voice was deep, "I'll be going back in a few days."
Jiang Tong's heart tightened. "Are you going back to the Southern Emperor in a few days?"
"I have some things to finish, I have to go back next week."
"Oh." Jiang Tong gripped her phone tighter.
Do you miss me?
Jiang Tong was no longer in the mood for flirting with him. "My son misses you and just asked me to call and ask about you."
Li Jingchen's voice was gentle, "I miss the child too, and I miss you very much. Is Wenya still living here?"
"No, my mom took her with her."
Jiang Tong's voice at this moment was as indifferent as her heart.
"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep."
Without waiting for Li Jingchen to speak, Jiang Tong's palm slipped, and she hung up the phone completely.
He lied to her.
