Chapter 67 Drunk
Zhuang Qingxiang was speechless. She called out twice, but neither of the two men responded. However, Sun Yongxian stirred and almost fell over.
Zhuang Qingxiang quickly helped the person up and used all her strength to carry her into the house, where she lay down against the foot of the bed.
Sun Yongxian didn't make a fuss. She mumbled "Thank you, Sister Zhuang" and then fell into a deep sleep.
Zhuang Qingxiang sighed and went back outside.
There was nothing she could do about Shi Peiran, who was already asleep on the ground, unless she woke Lu Congyue up.
"Director Lu."
Zhuang Qingxiang walked to Lu Congyue's side and called out softly, then patted his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
As a result, Lu Congyue's hands, which were supporting his head, dropped, and he leaned towards her.
Zhuang Qingxiang was startled and instinctively took a step forward to support the person with her body.
She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he fell headfirst.
But she soon realized that the posture was wrong.
His head was pressed against her stomach. At first, she didn't feel it, but soon she could feel the heat that the thin fabric couldn't block.
I couldn't tell if it was his breathing or the temperature of his face, but I felt it getting hotter and hotter.
Realizing that his face was pressed against her stomach, Zhuang Qingxiang felt a surge of heat.
At this moment, she dared not speak loudly, for fear of waking others. Seeing their posture, she was speechless.
"Director Lu..." she could only call out to him softly, then patted his shoulder repeatedly, trying to wake him up.
But no one knew exactly how much Lu Congyue had drunk, because he couldn't be woken up at all.
Just as Zhuang Qingxiang was secretly groaning, feeling her stomach getting hotter and hotter, Lu Congyue suddenly straightened up.
Zhuang Qingxiang hurriedly took a step back to create some distance, afraid that he would find out what had just happened.
Sure enough, Lu Congyue sat up straight, rubbing his head, and asked, "What... happened just now?"
"Nothing's wrong," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly replied. "Director Lu, are you drunk?"
"A little," Lu Congyue said in a low, hoarse voice.
Zhuang Qingxiang was startled when he opened his eyes.
His eyes were very red, which was a bit scary.
"Um... Director Lu, look at Dr. Shi... could you help him up?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked hesitantly.
Lu Congyue didn't move, but said, "Pour me a glass of cold water, let me sober up first."
Zhuang Qingxiang hurriedly poured him a glass of cool boiled water.
Lu Congyue tilted his head back and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls. When he looked at Zhuang Qingxiang again, the redness in her eyes had faded a bit.
"Go do what you need to do, don't worry about us, I'll get rid of him in a bit," he said in a deep voice.
Zhuang Qingxiang quickly nodded in agreement and began to clean up the mess on the table.
Lu Congyue sat upright, his peripheral vision falling on Zhuang Qingxiang. The redness in his eyes gradually returned, and he had to close his eyes and take several deep breaths to relieve the tension.
"Shi Peiran!" He kicked Shi Peiran, who was lying on the ground.
Zhuang Qingxiang: "..." This method of waking me up is really a bit barbaric.
Then Lu Congyue kicked him twice more, but seeing that he couldn't wake him up, he pursed his lips, bent down, and pulled him up.
Shi Peiran finally made a sound: "Wife, stop fooling around..."
Lu Congyue's lips twitched: "Go home and sleep if you want."
Shi Peiran tilted his head and fell asleep.
Helpless, Lu Congyue could only pull the man up and carry him on his back: "I'll take him back to my place first. When Sun Yongxian wakes up, please tell her."
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded, watching Lu Congyue carry the drunkard away.
"I have to say, Director Lu is really strong, and he sobers up quickly too. He was just completely drunk a moment ago, but now he can carry people on his back," Zhuang Qingxiang thought to herself.
Once the two disappeared from sight, Zhuang Qingxiang's legs went weak, and she plopped down on a stool.
Her legs went weak and her face turned red just now, but she had to pretend to be calm, afraid that Lu Congyue would find out that he had just leaned on her.
Also, when he pressed his hand against her stomach, she felt an extremely unfamiliar impulse that frightened her.
For dinner, the four of them ate together at Zhuang Qingxiang's house.
The three of them slept all afternoon after drinking too much and were too tired to cook. Zhuang Qingxiang had enough ingredients, so she cooked another dinner.
Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran were extremely grateful and helped clean up after they finished eating before leaving.
Zhuang Qingxiang saw them off at the door, thinking that Lu Congyue would also leave, but unexpectedly he came back with her.
"I drank too much today and didn't spend time with the kids. I'll stay with them for a while," Lu Congyue explained.
He stayed with her until eight o'clock before leaving. Zhuang Qingxiang was yawning outside when he finally came out.
"Close the doors and windows properly," Lu Congyue instructed.
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded sleepily and quickly closed the door, completely unaware that the man had been standing outside without moving an inch.
After a chaotic day, Zhuang Qingxiang slept soundly, only to realize the next day that she had forgotten to return the clothes to Lu Congyue.
We'll just have to wait a bit longer.
To everyone's surprise, several days passed before Lu Congyue went on another business trip.
When Sun Yongxian came over, she was furious, saying that Lu Congyue had taken Lin Wei with him on his business trip.
Zhuang Qingxiang shook herself, lowered her eyes, and said, "She's a technician..."
"I heard that the leaders from the provincial capital have gotten another high-end piece of equipment for our factory. I wonder if it was Lin Wei's parents who got it... Sigh..." Sun Yongxian sighed, "She's really lucky. Even Director Lu can't really do anything to her."
As time went by, Lu Congyue still hadn't returned, while Sun Yongxian brought back one message after another.
She came over very excitedly that day, saying that Liang Xinzheng and his mother had been arrested.
"It was Section Chief Niu who said it. Apparently, he's on trial, and hopefully he'll get ten or eight years in prison. That old bastard..."
Zhuang Qingxiang was taken aback.
Not long after Sun Yongxian spoke to her, Niu Jianzhong brought police officers to find Zhuang Qingxiang, hoping that Xiao Qianyue could go to the police station to identify her.
With Lu Congyue not home, Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't leave her two children at home, so she simply took all three children to the police station.
Niu Jianzhong awkwardly helped her carry one of the smaller ones, saying, "This door is too much trouble. I should have had my wife watch it for you."
Zhuang Qingxiang said embarrassedly, "The child is shy around strangers..."
When they arrived at the police station, Xiao Qianyue immediately recognized the old lady who had given her the dried fruit as Liang Xinzheng's mother.
Liang Xinzheng's head injury hadn't healed yet.
That night, Zhuang Qingxiang didn't see the killer's face, but seeing Liang Xinzheng's injuries, she felt it was him.
Her hands were trembling slightly.
Why didn't she kill him with a brick that night?!
"You vixen, you were the one who seduced my son first, and now you're turning around and accusing my son of bullying you. Why don't you just die?"
When Liang Xinzheng's mother saw Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly erupt, she wanted nothing more than to tear her apart.
It's all because of her. Her son was almost beaten to death, arrested by the police, and I heard he'll be going to jail.
"You, surnamed Zhuang, you need to explain to the police right now that you're getting married to my son, and that's it, let's just leave it at that!"
