Zhizhong, who was just about to say sothing, heard Lu Yui asking with concern, "What exactly is wrong with your health? You seem to be recovering well?"
"Mrs. Lu, I actually haven't been ill. I just discussed sothing with Minister Zhang from the City Committee..."
Zhizhong spoke with a smile, his voice smooth and magnetic.
Listening to him, Lu Yui felt both happy and annoyed, and even lunged forward, slapping him on the shoulder.
The slap was quite hard; it made a loud smack.
"You dead man, you're literally mad! You had , Yuqing, and Zhao Han so worried about you, fearing sothing terrible might happen to you! Turns out, you n are all liars, all liars! Liars, liars!!!"
Smack, smack, smack!
As Lu Yui scolded tenderly, she slapped Zhizhong's shoulder several more tis.
The slaps were heavy, loud, satisfying, and relieving.
Zhizhong, looking very much like a masochist, just laughed heartily, visibly enjoying himself.
"Ah, Mrs. Lu, you're so adorable and touching. Like a young girl, haha..."
Zhizhong laughed aningfully, his eyes bright and full of character.
Lu Yui, however, suddenly felt embarrassed and shy, quickly responding, "Shut up! I'm old, no longer a young girl!"
"No, no, no, my mother-in-law is still young. Ordinary girls can't compare to your skin, nor to your figure, you're just beautiful!"
Saying this, Zhizhong gave a thumbs up, even his Southern accent he learned from the Xiang family's siblings slipped out.
Lu Yui was amused, feeling quite flattered inside.
After all, which woman doesn't like to be complinted?
Especially such elaborate complints are very effective.
Of course, Zhizhong quickly beca serious again, "Actually, this is quite good. Minister Zhang supports it, and Minister Luo from the Provincial Organization Departnt supports it too! It eases the emotions of the Zhang Family; I get so leisure ti myself and can even work on so influencer stuff! Look, I went to the Southern region to et Ma Qingqing, and even bought a second-hand RV on the way, had a blast!"
"Uh-huh, I knew you went to the Southern region. I've been following Mr. L's works all this ti! You rascal, are you emotionally involved with Ma Qingqing? You moved her profoundly!"
Zhizhong quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "You misunderstand! It's all for the public image, just for influencer marketing!"
"That's just shaless! Nowadays, influencer stuff is really appalling."
"There's no choice, as long as the goal of finding people is achieved, it's a good thing. Now, Ma Qingqing has gone to the UK with her birth parents for treatnt, probably won't be back for a while."
Lu Yui nodded, "She's a poor girl. If you guys could really find her family, allowing her to survive, it indeed is a noble deed. It seems like the ritual that my sister and I arranged for you was effective; your luck has improved."
"Eh? Rituals? What rituals?"
Lu Yui didn't hide anything and told him all about the matter.
Zhizhong didn't discuss superstitions or explain about taphysics or psychological implications, just felt deeply moved, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for not treating as an outsider, for treating like your own son. I will always rember your kindness. No matter how the world changes, I'm still the Zhao family's son-in-law and will strive to make life better and more hopeful for everyone."
Seeing his focused expression, which was different from before and showed more maturity and gentleness, Lu Yui couldn't help but nod her head, feeling very pleased.
"Having such determination is also a good thing. I hope you do better and have a good life with Zhao Yan!"
Zhizhong thought to himself, I still have to catch her cheating, and then see what she has to say.
He responded, "Thank you for your understanding and support. I'll work hard. Coming back to Zhongzhou this ti, I need to do two big things and will need Mrs. Lu's help!"
"Sure, tell what it is. As long as I can help, I will!"
Zhizhong nodded and pulled out a cigarette.
Just as he was about to light it, Lu Yui said, "Hey, you have a heart condition; smoke less…"
"Uh…" Zhizhong paused.
Lu Yui's face turned red, she let out an embarrassed laugh, "Oh, listen to , still thinking you're ill! Haha... go on, smoke if you want…"
Having his mother-in-law caring for him like this naturally made Zhizhong happy. So he lit the cigarette, took a drag, and then said,
"The first big thing, I want to resolve the mood of the Zhang family; the second big thing, after resolving things with the Zhang family, I promise to take you, Mrs. Lu, out for a trip, to cool off and relax!"
"Ha, you're treating..."
Lu Yui blushed a bit, then felt very comfortable.
This dead man, treating her sumr vacation as a big deal!
Though it's actually not mandatory, Zhizhong's attitude was upright and proactive.
Won are just this peculiar, aren't they? They care a lot about a man's attitude, right?
Lu Yui could only say, "The sumr trip isn't that important. The important thing is, settling the Zhang family's attitude towards you might be difficult!"
"So, that's why I need my Mrs. Lu's cooperation, right?"
"? What can I possibly help with? I'm just a powerless widow. How can I influence the Zhang family?"
