Chapter 1176: My wife knows me well
Outside of the hospital.
The crescent moon is barely visible in the cloudy sky.
Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, Yan Yizhi, and the rest left the hospital. Driver Old Wang saw them and opened the car door.
They did not enter the car.
Jiang Fangfang look at Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and Yao Cui. âThanks for working hard today.â
Yan Yizhi quickly replied. âItâs our duty.â
Jiang Fangfang said slowly. âWe only drove a car here, which cannot fit all of us. Get a cab. Secretary Zhang had booked hotel rooms for you all.â
Yao Cui hesitated. âI think I will stay. I will not stay in the ward and will wait in the corridor. Mayor Dongâs family is not hereâŠ.â
Jiang Fangfang said. âLetâs go. You are Mayor Dongâs former classmate and should know him well.â
Meng Rui remembered Yao Cui was Dong Xuebingâs classmate, and he asked. âOh, is Mayor Dong not on good terms with his family?â
Yao Cui was surprised. âNot on good terms?â
Meng Rui continued. âHis relationship with his wife and mother.â
Yao Cui was confused. âNoâŠ. errrâŠ. I am not sure.â
Meng Rui nodded and did not say more. He got into the car.
Mayor Jiang got into the car. Zhang Feng knew Yan Yizhi and the rest, had gotten some results today and he did not enter the car. He remained at the hospital with Chen Xiaomei and Yao Cui.
The leadersâ car left.
Yao Cui asked. âSecretary Zhang, what does Secretary Meng mean? What happened to Mayor Dongâs family?â
They were not from the same fraction and seldom interacted except for work matters. But this incident united Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, and the whole County. Zhang Feng and Yao Cui had not clashed before and had gotten closer.
Zhang Feng said. âI called Mayor Dongâs family this afternoon. His mother did not say she would come, and his wifeâŠ. His wife asked me to inform her when he is dead.â
Yao Cui gasped. âInform her when he is dead?!â
Chen Xiaomei was speechless. What family is this?
Zhang Feng continued. âAnyway, Mayor Dongâs family is not coming.â
The nurse who was walking them out almost tripped when she heard. She worked at the hospital for years and had met many families. But this was her first time hearing family members say something like this.
After 9 pm.
Single ward.
The nurse returned and looked at Dong Xuebing with sympathy.
Dong Xuebing saw her. âDid they leave?â
The nurse nodded. âYes. They went back.â
âOk.â Dong Xuebing said. âOh, is my phone damaged from my fall? Can you bring it over? I want to make a few calls to my family.â
The nurse did not reply.
âNurse?â Dong Xuebing called her again.
The nurse replied. âI think you donât need to call. I overheard them saying your wife and mother are not coming, and they said something nasty.â
âAh? What did they say?â
âYour wife asked them to contact her when you are dead.â
Dong Xuebing was shocked initially, and then he laughed.
The nurse got angry with him when she saw him laugh. âHow can you laugh?â
âYou are getting anxious.â This nurse is cute. She pouted when she helped Dong Xuebing get his phone.
A few minutes later, she came back with the phone.
Dong Xuebing said. âI cannot move my hands. Can you help me dial a number? Itâs saved in the phone book. Xie Huilan. Pass the phone to me after it gets through.â
The nurse followed the instructions.
Ring⊠ring⊠ringâŠ. The line got through.
âHello.â A woman said. âAre you dead yet?â
The nurse almost exploded with anger. How can you say such things? Your husband is hospitalized, and you are asking if he is dead.
âWait.â The nurse said and held the phone against Dong Xuebingâs ear. âHere.â
Dong Xuebing said. âHello, Huilan.â
âIn the hospital?â Xie Huilan asked.
âYes. The nurse helped me call you.
âHow are you? How many ribs did you break this time?â
âHuh? I donât know. My injuries are quite serious, and I almost died.â
âJust die. I am used to it now. This is not your first time, right?â
Dong Xuebing was speechless. âSo, you know about it?â
âThis is your usual trick. Even our Mum knows what you are up to. Go to the city to ask for money, pretend to be pushed off a building, and blow things up. HahaâŠ. I still have not settled the score with you for going overseas, and you are creating trouble again. I am busy and cannot be bothered with you. Your life and death have got nothing to do with me.â
âLook at you⊠why are you getting angry again?â
Xie Huilan laughed and ignored him.
âI was forced. Donât be angry. I will apologize when I see you. ErrâŠ. Can you help me call Mum? I donât dare to call her.â
âOh, are you embarrassed to call her?â
âAh⊠my chest hurtsâŠ. I will hang up now. Bye.â
Dong Xuebing did not want to hear Huilan scolding him and quickly looked at the nurse.
The nurse quickly hangs up. âWhy is your wife like this? I had never met anyoneâs wife like this.â
Dong Xuebing laughed and did not reply.
Dong Xuebingâs mother and Xie Huilan worry about him.
But Xie Huilan said those things because they knew him too well.
Other people might be worried sick for him, but Luan Xiaoping and Xie Huilan lived with Dong Xuebing for too long.
Dozens of criminals are not Dong Xuebingâs matchâŠ.
Dozens of armed pirates cannot touch himâŠ.
He killed dozens of soldiersâŠ.
How can a City Finance Department Chief in the office daily push him off a building?
This is bullshit.
Even a hundred Finance Department Chief is not Dong Xuebingâs match.
Also, the third floor?
Those who know Dong Xuebing will know this height will not kill him.
Dong Xuebing had survived an air crash, and that height was a few thousand meters.
Third floor?
Ten meters?
He would not be Dong Xuebing if he died from this height.
