Chapter 124 - Father is about to make his move

They hurriedly rushed to the capital, Zheng Yanhong did not even return home, instead she went straight to the hospital, she did not even buy some flowers or gifts that were essential to a superior leader, and rushed into the hospital ward Li Yuanhang told her about.

Zheng Yanhong was not unfamiliar with the hospital, which was known as the provincial hospital's backyard, because her uncle, Department Head Zheng, was sick, and always came here to stay, so after she asked for the room number, she found it easily.

Governor Lu Bowen was currently reading a book as he dripped. He was actually wearing reading glasses that looked like he had aged a lot, and as expected, he was lying alone in a room alone.

When Zheng Yanhong rushed in, sweat was all over her face, and it looked even more red than before. When she saw that Lu Bowen was actually alone, she immediately cried out in a flustered and exasperated tone, "Father, don't you have a daughter? Do you really want me to find out that you are sick from someone else? What was this? Prove you're strong? Or do you not take my daughter seriously at all? "

Lu Bowen saw that she was shouting while stomping his feet, his face flushed red from anger, and even more so saw the tears of pain in her eyes. He felt his heart heat up, put down the book, and reached out his hand: "Good red, come sit beside father."

"Humph!" Zheng Yanhong shook her hands, then turned and ran out again.

This time, Lu Bowen was also confused by her actions. He thought that this girl was angry at him, but actually ran away after taking a look at him.

Who knew that after Zheng Yanhong left the room, she would immediately rush into the doctor's office to openly claim that she was Lu Bowen's daughter, and request for the doctor to provide him detailed information on her father's illness and treatment records. Seeing her overbearing and anxious look, the doctor did not dare to be slow and quickly explained to her in detail how Governor of Lou passed out at home due to acute appendicitis. The nanny beat him up and sent him over.

When Zheng Yanhong heard that it was only appendicitis, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he returned back to the sickroom, not bothering to pay attention to Lu Bowen as she sat on the sofa to catch her breath.

Lu Bowen smiled and said: Hehe, Hong Hong, you're still angry? I say, aren't you being too inhumane? How can you be mad at a poor patient? I only finished the operation yesterday, you can't just stare at me without even giving me a drool, right? "

Zheng Yanhong's eyes were filled with tears as she glanced at him again, as though she was trying to test herself out. In the end, she still couldn't bear to have the upper hand, so she angrily stood up and went to the table to pour a cup of water.

In the process of doing this, Zheng Yanhong had raised her hand several times to wipe her tears, but her back was still facing the sickbed. Although Lu Bowen did not see her face, she could tell from the arm that her face, and the light movement of her shoulders, was indeed very sad. She couldn't help but feel a mix of guilt and moved heat in her heart, and the moment he saw her walk in and sit by the bed, she couldn't help but quickly try to sit up.

Who knew that the moment he moved he would frown and let out a cry? Zheng Yanhong was shocked, he immediately put down the cup of water in his hands and reprimanded with a fierce expression: "What are you doing? Didn't you know that you just finished the operation yesterday? Why are you so anxious to sit up? Just lie still! "

Lu Bowen laid down obediently, and Zheng Yanhong found something under the bed that looked like a wheel and twisted it for a while, causing the top half of the bed to rise up, and then Lu Bowen sat down on the bed as well. She sat down beside him and scooped water into his mouth with a small spoon.

"Hehe, even if the girl is angry, she still can't mistreat her father like this. Why is she so stingy? How can she drink enough water like this?" My hands are fine. Why don't you just hand me the cup and let me drink by myself? " Just as Lu Bowen's lips were wet, Zheng Yanhong took back the spoon. He immediately became anxious and extended his hand to ask for a cup.

Zheng Yanhong quickly retracted his hand, and let go of Lu Bowen's hand that was asking for the cup: "I just asked the doctor, if you want to control the drinking water today, you can only get your mouth wet. If you want to drink more, you have to wait for your intestines to get air."

"What intestinal ventilation?" Although Lu Bowen was a doctor, he had different subjects of knowledge. He did not know anything related to common medical knowledge at all. He hadn't had any water since yesterday, and his secretary had just been sent to fetch his papers. He didn't want to ring for a nurse, so he was really thirsty these days.

"I can only drink after you fart!" Without hiding anything, Zheng Yanhong poured another spoonful of water on him. Seeing him drink so greedily, she really started to nag like he was his own daughter: "For appendicitis to develop to the point that he was about to faint, it must have hurt for a long time. Aren't you an iron man? He didn't make a sound even if he was in pain. He dragged it until he had to fester or faint before he was willing to be hospitalized? Humph! You're such a hero that you can't even manage a sip of tea! "

The arrogance he felt when he thought he could walk on his own in this world had also been melted by his kinship. He reached out a hand to brush away the hair on Zheng Yanhong's forehead, then looked at her red eyes and said in a low voice: "Good girl, Daddy is wrong. Daddy will not be so hard on you from now on! But when that happens, I'll call you if I get a headache, so don't get bored. "

"What's bothering me? What do you want your daughter for? Is it because I'm in trouble that I asked you to help me? Wasn't it to make us all care more about family and love in this cold world?

Dad, when does a person need relatives the most? You're hurting my heart by doing this to me! You don't even know... You didn't even know how he was feeling when he received the call from the Hall Master Li saying that he was hospitalized after the operation … "Sob, sob, sob …" As Zheng Yanhong spoke, he could no longer hold back and started crying. He placed the teacup on the table with a "dong" sound as he puffed.

Lu Bowen said apologetically: "Alright, Hong Hong, obediently stop crying, come over and stay with daddy for a while."

Seeing that he had done well, Zheng Yanhong no longer grumbled, and obediently walked over to his side, snuggling up to him like a little girl. He caressed her hair and said, "Red, Daddy did have a stomachache before, but it wasn't too bad. He just had a vague pain for a while, so Daddy didn't really care much about it. "Yesterday afternoon, I finished eating and wanted to lie down for a while. Who knew that once I stood up, I would feel a huge pain in my stomach, as if something split open. As a result, I fell down the moment I woke up."

"Humph!" Zheng Yanhong snorted from his embrace, and patted her shoulder guiltily: The good thing is that the doctor said that it was delivered in time, and the surgery was successful, right? Alright, I'll be good and not be angry! "

Zheng Yanhong said resentfully: "Dad, if you have anything to say in the future, you should tell me as soon as possible. It's good that you're fine this time, if there's even a little bit of something … I... How can you allow a daughter like me to do this! "

"Mhmm, be good …" Lu Bowen lamented.

Zheng Yanhong looked up from the crook of his arm and suddenly shouted, "Father, you have white hair! "Aiya, in just a few days, how come you seem to have aged so many years?"

Coincidentally the door was pushed open, Governor of Lou's secretary He Pengfei walked in, and was suddenly startled by what he saw. He quickly turned around as if he was electrocuted and wanted to go into the living room.

Zheng Yanhong was already very familiar with He Pengfei before this, but now she straightened her body and walked over: "Kowloon, what are you afraid of? I'm his daughter and I'm not a mistress, do you have to be shy for us? "Heehee, hee, hee!"

The moment He Pengfei entered the room, he saw a woman in his boss's embrace. He was immediately shocked, because no one knew how upright his boss was, or how unsightly he was to the point that he didn't even dare to look at the woman in his boss's arms. This was why he turned around and wanted to leave, while silently cursing himself in his heart for being too arrogant, to the point that he rushed in without knocking at the door.

Hearing Zheng Yanhong's words, He Pengfei felt that she was familiar, and turned around stiffly. When she saw that it was Zheng Yanhong who had helped him during the meeting two years ago, she laughed and said, "So it's Mayor Zheng? You really scared me! I was thinking, why would there suddenly be a female friend in Governor of Lou, it's you! "Hahahaha!"

Lu Bowen was very easy-going with his secretary in private, that was why He Pengfei dared to make such a joke. And you even have a girlfriend, if it wasn't for Hall Master Li telling me that this old man wants to live with his dignity, I wouldn't be able to carry a woman to see him! With his stubborn temper, other than me, he will probably only have you here to accompany him! "

Although He Pengfei did not know why Zheng Yanhong had become the Governor of Lou's daughter, but he did understand why Zheng Yanhong had rushed back and forth before the disciplinary committee and did not hesitate to pressure the provincial party's secretary. He also knew that Zheng Yanhong's uncle was also present at that time, so Minister Zheng naturally knew of such a relationship.

So if a beauty who was not blood related suddenly claimed to be Lu Bowen's daughter, and did not make people think about anything lustful, it was possible that Zheng Yanhong was the best person in this world to achieve such an effect! Since her family background did not need to use this relationship as a springboard, He Pengfei did not suspect any other dirty background.

"That's right!" I heard the nanny say on the phone that the Governor of Lou fainted, and scared my legs out of my wits! If I had known that you were the boss's eldest daughter, I would have called you last night. Otherwise, I would have informed the government office and feared that the boss would blame me for making a big fuss.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally got Hall Master Li Yuanhang to come over, and just like that, he finished the operation. The boss just opened his eyes and scolded me that I shouldn't have alarmed the Education Hall, and directly chased away Hall Master Li with a cold face. He Pengfei usually did not say much, but now he was deliberately spouting nonsense.

Zheng Yanhong said arrogantly: "Kowloon, I will give you the authority now. In the future, if your boss has anything wrong, you must immediately report it to me, or else I will tell your wife that you have a soulmate outside! "Humph!"

However, his mouth was still hurting, so he could only point at Zheng Yanhong and sighed. "Listen to me, listen to me, Peng Fei, do you still look like a Deputy mayor? She's just like a domineering young miss! "

He Pengfei smiled as he nodded his head, "Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely carry out the orders of the young miss! In the future, the boss would have a stomachache or something like that when I had to hide it from him. Aiya, heavens, you have finally opened your eyes and delivered a nemesis who can control the boss! However, Boss, this nemesis is my great savior! "

This time, the three of them laughed. He Pengfei continued to ask: "Oh right, Mayor Zheng, why don't you go back to the province to work? If you were in the provincial capital, the boss would be happier. "

Normally, a secretary should not go so far, but when He Pengfei followed Lu Bowen, he was really annoyed by the stubborn leader's stubborn ways of saying whatever he wanted. Just like yesterday, it was really just as she said, a boss who was in a coma would not even dare to report to the office!

The first example was when Lu Bowen fell ill earlier on. When He Pengfei reported this to the office, the entire provincial committee and Provincial Government's two courtyards found out once the office spread the news. Afterwards, it was naturally the subordinate cities that found out too, and the hospital where the visitors were making a ruckus was filled with people just like the market.

But just now, when He Pengfei saw how close Zheng Yanhong was with Lu Bowen and how she could be overbearing, he immediately understood that this young miss would really be his savior when he met with these kinds of difficult problems. That was why he wanted Lu Bowen's tacit approval so that he could communicate with this young miss in the future.

As expected, Lu Bowen continued to look at Zheng Yanhong with expectation as he smiled: "Little He, you sure like making a big fuss over nothing. If it's really true that this damned girl is guarding me all day, how can I still have any freedom!"

Zheng Yanhong naturally understood that there was hope in Lu Bowen's eyes that she would return to the capital to work, but that unyielding nature of hers made her feel that it wasn't an easy feat for his to fight with Ma Huimin, and it wasn't easy for Fan Qianjin to return either. The whole family splitting up was quite troublesome, buthe couldn't bear to disappoint Lu Bowen, so she smiled and said: "Hmph, even if I don't work in the capital, I would be home in less than two hours. From now on, Kowloon will always be in contact with me, no matter what tricks you want to do, it's impossible! "

Although Lu Bowen did not hear her promise to transfer him back, he understood that she truly and sincerely cared about him, so he smiled and said in a very satisfied manner: "What tricks can I do? A scholar is completely useless! Sigh! "I used to think that my body was still up to standard, but now that I've passed the threshold of fifty years old, I can finally show off my age. I have no choice but to accept my age …"

Zheng Yanhong's heart soured as she hurriedly said: "Tch! Nowadays, the boundaries of youth have already been drawn to the age of sixty-five. You are still a teenager, how can you be old? "

He Pengfei was too happy, because he realised that after having Zheng Yanhong, his boss seemed to have become much younger, and also become much more amiable. This made him feel extremely relieved.

Zheng Yanhong watched the entire time from here until late at night. Finally, Lu Bowen spouted a fart, and innocently and innocently, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Amitabha, this is the best fart that I've heard since I was 33 years old! "Dad, you can finally eat now!"

With that, Zheng Yanhong quickly sent He Pengfei to the supermarket in front of the door to buy all kinds of ingredients and then used the electric stove in her room to cook a bowl of rice porridge. In the end, she took away the rice grains and only scooped up half a bowl of rice soup, blowing on it to cool it down and feed it to Lu Bowen.

Seeing the deep love between father and daughter, He Pengfei felt that this was a hindrance, and that he couldn't leave them alone. He was just watching TV by himself in the living room, having so much fun that he stole some free time. Who would have thought that after Zheng Yanhong finished feeding the food, she would suddenly take the trembling mobile phone and walk into the living room, indicating that he should go in and take care of Governor of Lou, while she sat on the sofa and picked up the phone.

The phone call was from Lin Maoren. His tone was still as calm as ever, "Where are you, Yan Hong?"

"I'm back in the capital, what's the matter?" Zheng Yanhong said in a low voice.

"Oh? Why did he suddenly go back? What's the matter? "

"Yes."

"Can you tell me anything?"

"No."

"Bao, do you have to be so willful?"

"Are you wrong or am I wrong? "I thought you had already given up on me. If it's only because you're my superior, I don't think I need to report to you in eight hours time."

"In your dreams, I only asked you to go to a meeting at work that day. How could I let you leave me forever?"

"…"

"Tell me what?"

"Nothing, I just came back to take a look. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's not convenient for me to pick it up."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yanhong's face was filled with conflict and depression. She sat in the living room alone without entering, and she did not move for a long time.

From the moment Zheng Yanhong saw that number, her expression abruptly changed, and then, she hurriedly stood up and "escaped" to the living room to receive it, Lu Bowen had been listening attentively and with a sunken face. Originally, He Pengfei wanted to close the door after entering the room, but when she saw the owner signalling for him to open the door, he cleverly opened the door. Instead, she walked into the bathroom that was connected to the ward and closed the door to help Governor of Lou wash and change out of her clothes.

Just a few words, even Governor of Lou heard it. After waiting for a long time, he still did not hear Zheng Yanhong, and could not help but call out: "Girl, come in."

Zheng Yanhong thought that he was sick, and quickly cast aside her worries and ran in: "What's wrong Dad?"

"I'm fine. Sit down. Daddy will ask you."

"Oh …"

"Is the work bad?" I think you're in a very bad mood. And … Little He, I want some fruits. Go out and buy some oranges for me. "

He Pengfei was feeling uneasy in the bathroom, so after hearing the order, he quickly agreed and went out.

"Alright, Hong Hong Hong, now it's just the two of us, let me ask you, is Gao Mingliang still bothering you? I thought he was looking at you differently from the first time we met. Was he the one who called you? If he were to pester you because of his position, I can help you settle it! " Lu Bowen said in a serious tone.

Zheng Yanhong hurriedly explained: "No, no, Dad, since you saw that I'm not hiding anything from you, then Gao Mingliang did express an abnormal appreciation towards me when I was serving as the head of the Education Committee. It really wasn't him! "Ugh …" "That …"

The moment he said "it really wasn't him", Zheng Yanhong knew that he had leaked his mouth. Didn't this mean that other than Gao Mingliang, there was someone else who would pester her? In Cloud City, she was already a part of the Deputy mayor, so if the real superior had excluded Gao Mingliang, wouldn't that mean that he had admitted that he was Lin Maoren? Therefore, she quickly stopped talking in an even more flustered manner.

However, the intelligence that Lu Bowen was able to get from the dual doctorate was, after all, not unfounded, and he immediately deduced the situation that Zheng Yanhong was considering about, snorting coldly with a darkened face: "Hmph! Last time when that Lin Maoren kept on investigating you, I knew that this person was not right! One must know that as a Party Secretary, as long as one wasn't an idiot, they definitely wouldn't order Committee Ji to investigate you with just an anonymous letter. And you, too, child, why did you go through all this work and never tell me? "

"Dad …" Actually... Actually, it's not like that … That... "That …" For some reason, when Zheng Yanhong heard Lu Bowen's tone of speech, which carried a deep hatred and hatred for him, she actually panicked. She wanted to defend Lin Maoren, but she didn't know where to start, so he stuttered.

Zheng Yanhong's hesitation was erroneously thought to be because she was unwilling to give trouble to the sickly. She also mistakenly thought that this girl was born with a stubborn temper and wasn't willing to borrow the strength of her elders to open up a path for her. He sincerely said, "Hong Hong, you are still too young. You have no idea how a man of my age would fall for a woman.

Why? As long as a man has a higher status, he will unconsciously expand himself, feeling his charisma to be unstoppable like that of an official. Your rejection would mean that he would have to challenge all aspects of his charisma and even his authority, and he would not hesitate to destroy you to maintain such authority. If you are foolish enough to rely on your own abilities to overcome this kind of crisis, you are too naive!

God, I really didn't know that your work environment was so harsh. Both of your supervisors were eyeing you covetously, and yet you were unwittingly a fish under someone else's chopping block, foolishly wanting to show off your abilities. How stupid! Don't worry about it! "When I recover, I'll immediately operate it and transfer it back to be closer to your uncle and me. Those bastards won't dare to chase after them and harass you in the province!"

Seeing Lu Bowen's gloomy face, Zheng Yanhong hurriedly said. "That's not it Dad, it's not as serious as you think … Gao Mingliang has completely given up on me now and is no longer bothering me.

As for Lin Maoren... "Ugh …" Secretary Lin, he … He treated me well... It wasn't exactly using his power to oppress others, but rather … I too... Hey! "In any case, he won't be willing to harm me, so you don't have to worry …"

Zheng Yanhong was in too much of a hurry to explain to Lin Maoren. This kind of rush made her use the wrong word "won't be able to bear it", so under what situation would Lin Maoren "won't be able to bear" to ruin her? Unless it was genuine love, then, if this kind of love wasn't accepted by her in her haziness, how could she unwittingly defend Lin Maoren? Even if he had to take ten thousand steps back to say that she didn't accept Lin Maoren's love, at least she wouldn't reject this kind of love!

But no matter which one of these two possibilities it was, it was something that Lu Bowen could not accept from the bottom of his heart!

He stared at Zheng Yanhong and saw that her large eyes were averting her gaze. Finally, he lowered his head guiltily and said each word slowly: "Have you also fallen in love with Lin Maoren?"

"No, no!" Dad, what makes you think that? I don't know much about his family, and I heard that they have a good relationship with each other. Even if he has feelings for me, it is due to … "Ugh …" out of admiration and then a little bit more... That... Are you thinking about it? But... But it's not a sin to like someone, is it? So... "As long as I don't accept it, I don't need to think of him as an unforgivable bad guy …" Zheng Yanhong stuttered incoherently with a sharp tongue, as though she was anxious to defend Lin Maoren.

Lu Bowen felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. Although in his heart, there was not a single bit of desire between a man and woman for this cheerful, sunny, stubborn girl, and he was completely caring for her with the love from the bottom of his heart, but when he heard that a man of a similar age was actually scheming against her, and that she was even unable to differentiate between accepting and not accepting, a strong sense of jealousy arose in his heart. He was even more determined to help this innocent young daughter of his to resolve this emotional crisis.
