Chapter 1011 Like a Time Bomb
Jiang Tong didn't know how many days it had been since she last saw him. She was busy taking care of Yuan Gang, company affairs, and the affairs of her two children, and had never disturbed Li Jingchen.
He passed away after that birthday.
She knew it was over.
Without the feeling of trust, they are all exhausted.
How can I bear the feeling of missing you...
Jiang Tong's body and heart felt inexplicably empty. She lay on the bed where two people had slept before, still clutching the man's coat to her chest.
She actually fell asleep holding his coat.
…The buzzing sound of the cell phone finally woke Jiang Tong up from her sleep.
She rubbed her eyes, fumbled for the phone on the bedside table, put it to her ear, and said, "Hello..."
There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone. "Where are you?"
"I'm in Greentown." Jiang Tong was still in a deep sleep, and her mumbling voice contained a hint of coquettishness that she herself didn't even realize.
"That's good," Li Jingchen's voice became a little gentler, "I thought you were going somewhere."
Jiang Tong listened to the familiar voice, wondering why it sounded so familiar. She thought about it for a few seconds and then suddenly came to her senses.
She quickly took the phone away from her ear and saw that the caller ID was Li Jingchen.
"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Tong sat up from the bed.
"What were you doing just now?" Li Jingchen seemed to have distanced himself from her in an instant when he heard her voice.
"I accidentally fell asleep." Jiang Tong said as she put the man's coat aside. She actually fell asleep holding his clothes.
Li Jingchen asked in a concerned tone, "Are you so tired?"
"Huh?" Jiang Tong was busy hanging clothes and didn't understand.
"Are you tired from work? My son called me and said you hadn't returned home yet. He couldn't get through to your cell phone, so he called me to find you."
Jiang Tong understood, and she said, why did Li Jingchen suddenly call her.
"I'm fine, I just accidentally fell asleep after collecting the clothes. I'll call Sheep now and I'll be on my way back. Sorry for the trouble."
Li Jingchen was silent.
"Drive slowly, there's no rush." The concern hidden deep in his voice was also hung deep in the phone.
Jiang Tong looked out the window and it was indeed dark.
The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound was her packing up to leave. This place used to be a warm haven, but now she was alone.
The two of them will never remarry, and their trust, which is so fragile that it can be easily broken, just keeps a distance from each other, as if they can live in peace forever.
When Jiang Tong returned home, Jiang Mingyang, who had been lying on the windowsill waiting for Jiang Tong to come home, could no longer wait and hurried out to greet her.
"Mom, where have you been? I'm so worried about you."
"I accidentally fell asleep at the company." Looking at the little guy holding her, Jiang Tong touched his hair.
Jiang Mingyang was about to cry. "I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I called Mr. Li Zi, and he said that you answered his call."
As he said that, the little guy puffed up his cheeks, "Huh, I thought you were deliberately not answering my call."
"How is that possible? I just woke up when he called me. Sorry."
Pinching the child's face, Jiang Mingyang didn't think any more and just hugged Jiang Tong tightly.
"Mom, grandpa isn't home, please don't be away from home, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Tong agreed.
A few more days passed.
The days were as uneventful as usual. Jiang Tong would occasionally pay attention to the news about Li Jingchen. He was extremely busy. As the president of Dijing Group, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that she was blocking his progress and had delayed a lot of his work.
In the afternoon, when Jiang Tong was on her way to pick up Jiang Mingyang, she saw Tao Guanglei's car. Tao Guanglei bought a lot of toys for Jiang Mingyang and wanted to visit him.
The children haven't finished school.
Through the fence at the door, you can see a few naughty children running around.
Jiang Tong said that the sheep's injuries had healed, and Tao Guanglei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad Yangyang is okay."
"Your elder brother is very busy lately, isn't he?" Jiang Tong mentioned Li Jingchen, and Tao Guanglei sighed. Of course he is very busy.
In fact, when Yuan Gang was bidding for the land near the lake, Li Jingchen did not bid. He gave it to Yuan Gang.
This incident caused the board of directors to have many opinions about Li Jingchen.
They thought Li Jingchen was deliberately leaving a piece of treasure land containing rare earth resources unclaimed and giving it away.
"In fact, my eldest brother didn't know the situation of the land at that time. Later, he was simply afraid that you wouldn't be able to bid for it, so he lied and said that your father had entrusted him. In fact, your father didn't entrust him at all."
Why does Tao Guanglei know so much? Because it was Li Jingchen who asked Tao Guanglei to make the application for entrustment.
Jiang Tong was stunned.
"From his personal perspective, even if he really gave a piece of land to your father, it wouldn't matter. He's not a god, how can he be perfect in everything? The old guys in the company have bulging pockets, they are greedy and want more."
Jiang Tong frowned. So that's how it is.
"I see he wants to invest in the research and development of medical technology. Is this also a decision made by the company's board of directors?"
Tao Guanglei suddenly fell silent.
Finally he answered, "Yes and no."
Those old guys on the board of directors only care about money and interests. As long as Li Jingchen doesn't make them lose money, they don't care what Li Jingchen does.
"My eldest brother has long wanted to establish a top medical team that specializes in the development and treatment of mental illnesses and Alzheimer's disease. I'm not afraid to tell you, Zheng Yan's condition is not very good."
Jiang Tong hurriedly asked what was wrong?
"Isn't Zheng Yan's condition stable?"
"She is now stable, but her memory has declined a lot. She is a little sloppy when she speaks. A few days ago, she even apologized to Li Yuanzheng in front of grandpa."
"Then what?" Jiang Tong's heart tightened. Did grandpa notice something?
Tao Guanglei shook his head. "Of course I immediately found a topic to fool him. Grandpa doesn't know yet. If he knew that there was another reason for his son's death, the consequences would be disastrous."
"Yes, Grandpa's heart has always been in bad condition. He was hospitalized for a cerebral hemorrhage before," Jiang Tong became more and more worried. "It's better not to let him know."
Tao Guanglei sighed.
Considering the old man’s physical condition, I don’t know how long we can keep it secret!
The incident with Li Yuanzheng was like a time bomb. It was the cause planted by Zheng Yan, and no one knew when it would explode and cause an uproar.
Tao Guanglei and Li Jingchen will not tell anyone, and Jiang Tong will also keep it a secret.
Of course, there is another person in the Li family who also knows about it, Li Dongzan.
When Tao Guanglei mentioned Li Dongzan, his face turned slightly cold. "Li Dongzan, huh... he hasn't said anything yet."
"If he had said it, he knew the consequences."
