Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 549: Not Selected

Hearing this, Jiang Zhengguo let out a low sigh, his mood not high.

Seeing him like this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what had happened.

"Uncle, what’s wrong? Why do you look so heavy-hearted? Shouldn’t being elected mayor be a happy occasion?"

Jiang Yan: "That’s right, Uncle. Being re-elected as mayor should be something to be happy about. Why do you look like this? You’re surely just trying to scare us, right?"

Jiang Shihan: "Dad, on this day worth celebrating, don’t look so troubled. We’ve specially made a lot of your favorite dishes. Let’s eat first!"

"Yes, let’s eat first. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after the meal," Jiang Zhenghai, who was standing by the side, also chimed in.

Jiang Shihan stepped forward, and together with Jiang Yue, each took one of his arms, intending to lead him to the dining table.

Before taking a few steps, Jiang Zhengguo suddenly stopped, staring at the delicious dishes on the table, and then at the bright, cheerful faces of everyone happy for him.

He lowered his head, adjusted his emotions, and after a while, listlessly said, "You’ve misunderstood, I... wasn’t elected."

He pointed at the dishes on the table, "Take these away!" After saying this, he didn’t want to stay any longer, pulled his arms free from their grip, and turned to go upstairs.

Wu Min was the first to react, stepping forward to grab his arm, "Zhengguo, did something happen? Didn’t you say just a few days ago that you were confident? How did this happen so suddenly?"

Jiang Shihan also reacted, stepping forward, "Everything was fine a few days ago. How did this happen so suddenly?"

"Uncle, are you joking with us? How could it be possible that you weren’t elected!!"

"Uncle, is there some hidden reason behind this? Did someone intentionally target you and push you out?" Jiang Yue also looked puzzled... Logically speaking, with Uncle’s votes so high, it should be impossible for him to lose.

Jiang Zhenghai and his wife also looked bewildered, completely not understanding what was going on.

Everyone’s chatter made Jiang Zhengguo feel a wave of irritation, knowing they meant well, but with his current mood being so bad, the constant noise around him brought his temper to the surface, "I didn’t get elected, that’s that, stop asking me!"

He shook off his wife’s hand and walked upstairs without looking back, leaving everyone bewildered.

Because of this episode, the celebratory feast fell through, and no one was in the mood to bring it up again. In the end, they could only part ways unhappily...

In the evening, Wu Min returned to the bedroom, looked at the curled-up figure on the bed, but in the end said nothing. She turned off the room light and lay down beside him to sleep. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The sound of occasional sighs from the person beside her entered her ears clearly. She didn’t know how many times he had sighed. Wu Min finally opened her eyes in the darkness.

As if talking to herself, yet also as if speaking to him, "Zhengguo, there’s no need to sigh. If you weren’t elected, you weren’t elected. We’ll just keep trying next time. The most important thing is that our family stays harmonious..."

For a long time, no one responded, knowing he heard it, just unable to understand it for the moment. She didn’t insist any further, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Half asleep, half awake.

The phone on the nightstand rang. She reached out for the phone, opened her cloudy eyes and took a while to slide the screen to answer.

"Hello..."
