Chapter 1489

That evening, Su Xinghui returned to the town government. After he finished showering, Du Fangfang came to his dormitory again. She asked timidly, "Secretary Su, how is Sister Xiaofeng's case going?"

Su Xinghui was somewhat at a loss as to how to answer her. Instead of replying, he asked, "How has your aunt's family been these past few days?"

Du Fangfang said, "I went back yesterday. My aunt's family is doing okay. My aunt hasn't asked about Sister Xiaofeng's situation either; she's busy at home every day feeding the cows and sheep. But I can still tell that she is using this busyness to forget her sorrow. Seeing her like that makes me feel sad too."

Su Xinghui said, "Du Fangfang, your Sister Xiaofeng's case will definitely have a relatively satisfactory outcome. However, there are still some obstacles for now, and these obstacles are not small, so it will certainly be a process. I hope you can understand."

Du Fangfang nodded. Of course, she understood this logic. A mayor, a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, a vice chairman of the municipal CPPCC, and a deputy mayor—to her, these were all big shots. Even a deputy county magistrate was someone she had to look up to. Now that the sons of these people had committed such a crime, how could it be easy to seek justice?

However, Du Fangfang still felt a bit disappointed.

Of course, she also knew Su Xinghui's difficulties. She knew Su Xinghui was a good cadre, and she knew that Su Xinghui had already done his best to help He Xiaofeng's family. Therefore, she naturally would not put too much pressure on Su Xinghui. She said, "Secretary Su, I can understand. No matter how long it takes, my aunt can wait."

Su Xinghui said, "I am very glad that you can understand. You must believe that Secretary Xue, County Magistrate Ling, and Director Xie from the county will all go all out to help Xiaofeng seek justice, and I will also go all out."

Du Fangfang nodded vigorously. She scanned Su Xinghui's dormitory and saw a basin of dirty clothes under his bed. She quickly took the dirty clothes out. Even though Su Xinghui called out to her, she didn't listen. She carried the basin out, and before long, the sound of running water could be heard from the faucet.

This was Du Fangfang helping Su Xinghui wash his clothes.

Su Xinghui couldn't help but shake his head. During this period, he tried his best to wash his clothes as soon as he changed them, just to avoid Du Fangfang helping him wash his dirty clothes. After all, he already had Lu Xiaoya. He knew Du Fangfang's feelings, but he could not accept them, so he felt it was inappropriate for Du Fangfang to help him wash his clothes.

But today, he had just finished showering and hadn't had time to wash his clothes when Du Fangfang arrived, and she had snatched the dirty clothes away. This left Su Xinghui feeling somewhat helpless.

He wondered if he should tell Du Fangfang that he already had a girlfriend and was about to get married.

However, saying such things directly to Du Fangfang would be too hurtful; it would certainly be a huge blow to her.

Su Xinghui thought that, anyway, the day he would receive his marriage certificate wasn't too far off. When the time came, he would distribute wedding candies around the town government, and Du Fangfang should then give up this idea. This way was also more tactful and not too hurtful.
