Power and Wealth
Chapter 1400 – The empty Mayor Jiang
Afternoon.
Suburban county, Jiang’s mother’s home.
The sky darkened, with dense clouds, as if it were about to rain.
On the living room sofa, Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang sat on either side of Jiang’s mother, chatting with the old lady.
“Fangfang, do we have any vegetables at home?”
“Yes, the maid bought some yesterday.”
“Good later I’ll prepare a meal for your husband.”
“Yeah, I know. I’ll stir-fry some dishes.”
Jiang’s mother held the hands of the two and chatted for a while. It was already past four o’clock. Suddenly, Jiang’s mother grabbed Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang’s hands, placed them on her lap, then held their wrists and patted them together. “You two haven’t been together for a long time. I won’t disturb you anymore. I didn’t sleep this afternoon. I’ll go rest for two hours. You guys chat.”
Jiang’s mother stood up.
Dong Xuebing quickly supported her. “Take it easy.”
“No need to help. I can walk.” Jiang’s mother smiled and said, “Xiaotao, you must have gone on a business trip to the capital. Look at you. Even your accent has changed.”
Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, “Ah, yes.”
Jiang’s mother patted his hand. “Alright, accompany your wife.”
“Okay, I’ll call you during dinner.” Dong Xuebing nodded.
“Good, it seems like it’s going to rain. Fangfang, remember, there are clothes on the balcony.” Jiang’s mother still cared a lot, sometimes confused, sometimes clear-headed.
Jiang Fangfang said, “You rest. Don’t worry about it.”
Jiang’s mother went into the small room, and the door closed with a bang.
With a rumble, there was a thunderclap outside. The sound was loud.
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang. “It seems like it’s going to rain. Let’s collect the clothes first.”
“I’ll do it.”
“No problem, I’m free anyway.”
Jiang Fangfang nodded, and Dong Xuebing followed her to the balcony.
Her home was in a relatively old residential area with a building style from decades ago. There were no windows on the balcony, just a protruding small platform. It had a roof, but it would get wet inside if it rained. Looking down, there was a sink.
Jiang Fangfang reached out to take the clothes.
Dong Xuebing also helped, raising his hand to collect a pair of old lady’s trousers.
Many clothes were hanging on the balcony, densely packed. I don’t know how many days they had been there without being taken down. Considering that Jiang Fangfang’s father had just passed away, the family was busy and probably didn’t have time to wash clothes. Most of them were Jiang Fangfang’s clothes. Dong Xuebing saw the traces of a lace bra behind a shirt, slightly hollowed out. It was the lingerie he had given County Mayor Jiang before. Unexpectedly, County Mayor Jiang wore it again. There were also some flesh-colored stockings draped over the railing, including short ones and even some stockings with crotch. Two pairs of high-heeled shoes, one light-colored and one black, were sunbathing on the table. It seemed that Jiang Fangfang had been living here for several days.
Swallowing his saliva, Dong Xuebing hugged Jiang Fangfang’s clothes one by one, took out the hangers, threw them aside, and continued to pick up another piece.
“Thank you for today.” Jiang Fangfang suddenly said while making clothes.
Dong Xuebing took off a closed skirt and put it in his arms. “It’s nothing. I just feel uneasy about deceiving the old lady.”
“You don’t need to feel guilty. If you don’t deceive my mother, she can go without eating for three days. The old lady is stubborn and won’t listen to anyone.”
“Well, what about later?”
“Let’s keep deceiving her for now. We’ll figure it out later.”
“By the way, does your mother watch the news, I have appeared on the county TV station a few times. What if she recognizes me?”
“My mom doesn’t watch. Her eyesight is not good.”
“What if the neighbors…”
“The neighbors know my mom’s mind isn’t right. We don’t interact much, and my mom stays around the house. She doesn’t even go out.”
“That’s good.” Dong Xuebing paused. “Otherwise, how about this? Since I don’t have many relatives on this side, and when I have time, I can come over and visit the old lady. With your father gone, it’s better for your mother not to be alone at home. Besides, now your mother takes me as Liu Tao. I just said I won’t leave this time. If I don’t come, the old lady will definitely…”
Jiang Fangfang looked at him. “Deceive for as long as you can. You can’t hide it forever. Always having you come over will be too much trouble for you.”
Dong Xuebing said, “I have no problem. It’s not troublesome.”
“If it’s not troublesome, then that’s the best.”
“Okay, then, when you have time, just call me, and we can come together.”
“Good, thank you.”
“You’re being too polite again.”
Dong Xuebing also quite liked the old lady. It wasn’t much trouble for him to come over when he had free time. Dong Xuebing naturally had no problem with it. Besides, he felt sorry for Sister Jiang. Her husband passed away, her father passed away, and her mother was confused all day. Sister Jiang had to support this family and manage the government affairs of Zhen Shui County. Dong Xuebing felt that if she continued like this, she would be too hardworking, not just physically but also mentally. Even though Sister Jiang’s surface was always indifferent, people like her might accumulate more things in their hearts, so Dong Xuebing also wanted to help her share some burdens. Although the effect might not be significant, if Sister Jiang’s mother could be happy and not quarrel with Sister Jiang every day, Sister Jiang’s mental pressure would be much smaller.
Rumble.
Another thunderclap.
Jiang Fangfang said with a bit of urgency, “It seems like the rain is going to be heavy.”
Dong Xuebing took a look, also speeding up the pace of collecting clothes. “Yeah, the weather forecast said it would be a light shower. It seems like it’s turning into heavy rain.”
Most clothes were already collected, leaving only some in the middle.
Jiang Fangfang’s movements were slower, while Dong Xuebing’s were faster. As a result, when Dong Xuebing pulled down Sister Jiang’s white shirt, he found that underneath was the lingerie he had given her, swaying sensually on the hanger. Dong Xuebing hesitated, not sure whether to reach for it or not.
Jiang Fangfang saw it and said calmly, “I’m not that particular.”
Dong Xuebing coughed awkwardly, understanding her meaning. With determination, he boldly went up, took off the bra, and then carefully pinched his fingers to pick up her panties.
Drip, drip.
Raindrops began to fall.
Jiang Fangfang quickly grabbed a pair of stockings, but her hands were full. “Can you spare a hand for stockings and high heels?”
“Leave it to me.”
“Okay, I’ll go inside first.”
“Please go in quickly, don’t get wet.”
Jiang Fangfang used her foot to open the door and went inside with the clothes.
Dong Xuebing took a breath; his hands were full of clothes, making it difficult to free up a hand. He bent over, pressed the clothes in his hands with his chin, reached out with his other hand to grab the remaining pantyhose, and used four fingers to grasp her two pairs of high heels. He then turned around and struggled to open the door with his foot. However, the posture of pressing clothes with his chin was a bit awkward. The top layer of the large stack of clothes in Dong Xuebing’s arms was Jiang Fangfang’s lacy underwear. The silky texture of the fabric touched his chin, and the pattern on the panties even left an imprint on his chin. Occasionally, a woman’s fragrance and the scent of laundry powder wafted into his nose.
Inside the room.
After putting down the clothes, Jiang Fangfang turned to look at him.
Dong Xuebing quickly raised his chin and straightened his back to avoid suspicion. However, this made it hard to keep the clothes he was holding stable, and they swayed as if they were about to fall.
“Watch out,” Jiang Fangfang reminded.
“Oops.” Dong Xuebing quickly took a step forward.
Jiang Fangfang also stepped up to help. “Give them to me.”
In the end, four or five pieces of clothing still fell, and the high heels dropped. Dong Xuebing looked embarrassed, put the remaining clothes on the sofa, and quickly bent down to pick them up. Once inside, he spoke more cautiously, avoiding being too polite in case Jiang’s mother overheard.
“It’s okay.”
“Let me pick them up.”
“No problem.”
Jiang Fangfang also squatted down to pick up the clothes.
Before, Dong Xuebing’s attention had been focused on Jiang’s mother, feeling nervous and trying not to reveal anything. Now that he had passed that hurdle, Dong Xuebing noticed Jiang Fangfang’s appearance today. Maybe it was a bit cool on this cloudy day. She wore pure white stretch pants, almost like fitness pants. The pant legs were tucked into a pair of non-socks on Jiang Fangfang’s bare feet, and she was wearing a pair of flat-bottomed high-heeled shoes. Her entire lower body was outlined very smoothly. When she turned around to pick up the high-heeled shoes lying on the ground, Dong Xuebing’s gaze inadvertently swept into Jiang’s neckline, and he even saw Jiang Fangfang’s belly directly through the gap in her cleavage.
What kind of concept is this?
This gap is too loose.
If there were a bra to hold it tightly, it wouldn’t be possible to see the belly. The only explanation is that Jiang Fangfang didn’t wear a bra today, and her shirt was empty inside.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath, and his heartbeat accelerated. Given Jiang Fangfang’s position as the county head, he felt she couldn’t possibly be so careless in dressing. She must pay attention to every aspect, so how could she go empty? That meant Jiang Fangfang might have worn only one or two sets of underwear while staying at her mother’s house. She washed them yesterday, so she had nothing to wear today, forcing her to go empty.
Seductive.
Deadly.
Dong Xuebing suppressed his heartbeat and wanted to take another look. After all, the chance to see the Mayor, a beautiful woman, go empty was undoubtedly rare. Every glance was one less chance.
However, Jiang Fangfang had already picked up the clothes and stood up.
Dong Xuebing regretted it. He could only take a glimpse of her chest and casually picked up the last piece of clothing, standing up and placing it on the sofa, helping Jiang Fangfang tidy up together.
