The couple was chatting when Lu Yui ca down from upstairs.
The beautiful widow greeted Liu Zhizhong and Zhao Yan, "Let's eat, Zhao Han is still sleeping."
Liu Zhizhong secretly chuckled—he had indeed worn out Zhao Han the night before, and she was sure to sleep a long ti, hehe...
However, during the al, Lu Yui casually asked Liu Zhizhong a question, "You won't be going to work these two days, right? What are you planning on doing this morning?"
Liu Zhizhong answered naturally, "I'm planning to visit Brother Hongyang."
"What?"
Lu Yui and Zhao Yan exclaid in unison, the synchronous feeling was quite nice.
Lu Yui imdiately exploded, "That shaless beast, what's there to see? Liu Zhizhong, do you have a screw loose?"
Zhao Yan snorted coldly, "Exactly! My sister is about to divorce him, and you're still trying to cosy up to him?"
Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "In Yangzhou officialdom, for my own progression, I have to maintain a relationship with the Zhang Family! Besides, isn't big sister still not divorced from him?"
"Don't you dare go!" Lu Yui slamd her chopsticks on the table, looking very determined, "After divorcing the Zhang Family, are you saying you can't be an official? You've successfully graduated from the Party School and beco a heroic figure for your righteous action, how could your career not be promising? Do you have to mix up with the Zhang Family mbers? With soone as rotten as Zhang Hongyang, no matter how influential he is, after such a scandal, he doesn't deserve to be my Zhao family's son-in-law! I fully support Zhao Han's divorce from him! Liu Zhizhong, don't be insensitive!"
Zhao Yan snorted twice more and gave Liu Zhizhong a disdainful look but didn't say anything further. Moreover, she never ntioned the affair between Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Qixiang because she didn't care about him or his ssy affairs.
What Zhao Yan cared about was that the two could divorce smoothly; then she would be free. Of course, the issues between Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Qixiang were their privacy, which she couldn't be bothered to poke her nose into.
From this perspective, Zhao Yan was still a woman with principles and manners.
Watching his infuriated mother-in-law, Liu Zhizhong gave a faint smile, "Mom, don't be so anxious! Actually, you all know I have a score to settle with Brother Hongyang! I've heard about his scandal in the Provincial City. He's in the hospital; my visiting him would look amiable on the surface, but actually, hehe..."
His final laugh and smile were full of deep aning.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but look at him with contempt, "Oh, so you're pretending to visit him but actually going to disgust him?"
"Ha ha..." Liu Zhizhong laughed out loud, a bit unreserved, "My wife really understands , hehe..."
"Shut up, don't try to pin this on . You go nauseate Zhang Hongyang in the morning; Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon!"
With that said, she stood up, wiping her mouth with a napkin, "Mom, take your ti eating. I'm done, I'll head to work first."
Then, she prepared to go upstairs to freshen up.
Lu Yui watched her daughter leave, then turned a frosty gaze towards Liu Zhizhong, "The two of you are going to get divorced this afternoon?"
Liu Zhizhong sighed and nodded, "She wants the divorce, not ! At this critical juncture, as a person about to be promoted, how would divorcing my wife look? Mom, you understand how officialdom works, you tell ..."
Lu Yui was genuinely adept at handling matters and called out to Zhao Yan, who was headed upstairs, "You two going to divorce this afternoon really doesn't suit the ecology of officialdom, there's no need for it, it affects both of you. If you want to divorce, I'm not against it, but timing is key, why not wait another year and a half!"
"Mom, why do you..." Zhao Yan felt wronged and turned around on the stairs to call out in a tender voice.
"What are you getting worked up about? Does mom's word not count in this ho anymore?" Lu Yui glared at her younger daughter, her charming face showing a frosty harshness.
