In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

What does that mean?

Did Li Feitu just follow them?

Moreover, after learning that the person who invited him was Chen Jingcheng's biological mother, he acted very respectfully.

She even said she needed to go to the restroom to wash up and tidy her clothes first.

This attitude isn't right.

Chen Jingcheng was just one of Li Feitu's subordinates. No matter how much Li Feitu trusted and relied on a subordinate, he was still a subordinate, and their status and position were far different.

If Li Feitu can go, that's already giving Chen Jingcheng face. Even if we maintain respect, it's just a matter of etiquette. Why is it so important to take a picture so seriously?

Could it be that Chen Jingcheng's mother truly possesses some unknown power?

Wang Yueyue was somewhat bewildered. She thought that Li Feitu's actions were simply due to his high regard for Chen Jingcheng; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

But whatever the reason, Wang Yueyue was starting to feel uneasy.

Just then, Bai Chiming and Ye Xinqi came out of the room and frowned when they saw Wang Yueyue still standing in the corridor in a daze.

"What are you doing standing here? Didn't I tell you to go back and wait for me?"

If it were before, Wang Yueyue would have already made up her mind; she would go and spend the night with Bai Chiming.

Because Bai Chiming is neither Chen Jingcheng nor Lin Zhongfei, if she wants to win Bai Chiming's heart, she can't do it without giving anything in return.

The idea that the more unattainable something is, the more it will be cherished might work for other men, but for a man like Bai Chiming who is a seasoned womanizer and never lacks female companionship, this approach won't be effective and may even have the opposite effect.

To solidify her identity as Madam Bai, Wang Yueyue knew what she had to sacrifice.

But now, she hesitated.

"My mom just called me, and I saw she was crying. Can I go home tonight and stay with you tomorrow?"

Lies just spring to his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chiming immediately frowned and said, "You seemed a bit off just now. What happened? Tell me."

This time, Wang Yueyue didn't hide anything and quickly told everyone what Chen Jingcheng had just done.

After saying that, Wang Yueyue immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chiming's hand, saying aggrievedly, "You really have to help me this time. Chen Jingcheng is deliberately retaliating. It's one thing to retaliate against me, but he also retaliated against my mother, and in front of so many people. At that time, many of the people in the room were from the Linchuan County system, and they were all investigated."

"This isn't just disrespecting me, it's clearly disrespecting you."

After hearing Wang Yueyue's words, Bai Chiming was also stunned. Then he looked at Ye Xinqi and instead of being angry, he smiled.

"Brother Qi, it seems Chen Jingcheng already knows his predicament. He's just throwing caution to the wind. He's certain that even if he brings Li Feitu over, Li Feitu won't be able to say much under those circumstances. Heh, but he also knows that we can definitely handle it. There's no point in him doing this."

"It's just about venting, how childish."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinqi smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it is a bit childish, but he's about to have some bad luck, so what's wrong with letting him vent?"

"Alright, you can handle this. After all, it's your fiancée's business, so you should do her a favor."

Bai Chiming nodded and looked at Wang Yueyue, saying, "You don't need to worry about your mother's matter. I will talk to Li Feitu. Tell her not to worry, nothing will happen."

"Also, as for Chen Jingcheng's revenge on her today, don't worry, I will get revenge for her."

"Alright, you should be happy now, come back with me."

After saying that, Bai Chiming was about to take Wang Yueyue's hand and go back to the room.

The problem is that Wang Yueyue really doesn't want to go back with Bai Chiming anymore.

Ye Qingru said that it would only be one night, and Bai Chiming would be arrested the next morning, as the evidence was already conclusive.

Waiting one more night might make Bai Chiming a little unhappy, but if something unexpected really happens, at least he won't regret handing over his most important thing.

"Brother Bai, I'm sorry, I really can't go with you today. My mom is crying so hard, I'm really worried about her. Let me go back and check on her."

"How about this, if I go home and check on my mom, and she's alright, then I'll come back to keep you company, okay?"

As she spoke, Wang Yueyue grabbed Bai Chiming's hand and shook it, her face full of coquettishness.

"Brother Bai, I'm already your fiancée, so let's not rush things, okay?"

"Tomorrow, I promise, at the latest tomorrow, I will definitely spend time with you."

Chen Jingcheng had actually seen Wang Yueyue act coquettishly, but only a handful of times; Lin Zhongfei had almost never seen her do so.

However, it must be said that although Wang Yueyue is arrogant, her looks and figure are undeniable, and when she acts coquettishly, she is quite captivating.

Bai Chiming frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Alright, you can go back if you want. I've had quite a bit to drink today, and I'd like to get some rest soon."

"Then you can leave."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueyue didn't dare to linger, in case Bai Chiming changed his mind. She quickly said goodbye and left the restaurant.

Meanwhile, in room 666.

Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng have already entered the room.

Upon seeing Ye Qingru, Chen Jingcheng immediately smiled wryly and said, "I told you I have important official business tonight. I'll go back after the event. Why did you follow me?"

Ye Qingru showed no indifference towards Wang Yueyue at this moment, her face full of smiles.

"Son, Mom has come all this way to Linchuan, so you should try the local specialties and see the scenery."

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Chen Jingcheng dared not be unhappy at all; he truly had no way to deal with Ye Qingru.

"I'm not upset. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Li Feitu, County Magistrate Li."

Upon hearing this, Li Feitu naturally dared not extend his hand to shake hands, and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Mrs. Chen, hello."

Li Feitu pondered the issue of address for a long time, but it seemed that no form of address was appropriate. He could only call her Madam Chen, which was respectful and without fault.

Ye Qingru looked at Li Feitu and said with a smile, "Don't call me Madam Chen, that's too formal."

"You deserve a lot of credit for helping me find Jingcheng. You've always taken good care of him, so I want to thank you."

"Feitu, you can just call me Aunt Ye."

Many people want to get on Ye Qingru's good side, but very few actually succeed. After all, Ye Qingru's status and position are not the only factors at play; over the years, her cold personality has been well-known, making her almost unapproachable.

The fact that she took the initiative to let others call her "Auntie" shows that she was truly grateful to Li Feitu.

Li Feitu naturally wouldn't refuse and quickly called out "Auntie".

Ye Qingru smiled and pointed to the two bowls of noodles on the table, saying, "Have some hot soup noodles to fill your stomach and sober up."

"By the time you finish eating, your uncle Li Zhixing should be arriving soon."

"Perfect timing, I'd like to chat with you for a bit once you arrive."

"The authorities in Yanjing have already reached a preliminary opinion on the handling of Deputy Secretary Wu and others, which is only natural and should be communicated to you."
