Standing in front of his mother-in-law, Liu Zhizhong turned into an idiot as he faced her sharp gaze, which should have otherwise been alluring and lively. He had no choice but to play dumb and innocent.
"Um... Mrs. Lu... you must be overthinking, right? That's not the case at all..."
Lu Yui let out a cold chuckle and said, "My judgnt has never been wrong. I can tell Han Han likes you in every little way."
"She's going to get a divorce today, she'll be free. And you, Zhao Yan no longer wanting you, that's a done deal."
"After both of you are free, if you want to be together, I won't object. After all, you, Liu Zhizhong, are a catch now, and I don't want my daughter to miss out on a good second marriage."
"n in officialdom... Ha, I see right through them. Don't they all have a few on the side, right? That includes your deceased father-in-law, Secretary Zhao, wasn't he also the sa?"
"Lin Juan, that woman, she's got the hots for you. Her deep affection for you seems unchangeable. But let give you a piece of advice, you should still be discreet and clean on the outside, don't ss with my daughter's true feelings."
"I don't want Han Han to know that the man she likes is also a Casanova. I've doted on Zhao Yan a bit too much these years and have been harsher on Han Han, I feel sowhat sorry for her."
"So, Liu Zhizhong, once you divorce Zhao Yan, you must marry my older daughter. I don't care how high a position you hold in governnt, whether you'll have mistresses, but you must give Han Han the status of the official wife! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
After she said her piece, Lu Yui briskly continued her jog, running from the front yard to the back.
Liu Zhizhong stood there as if hit by a shockwave, like he had taken a critical hit. Watching his mother-in-law's captivating shadow, he felt sowhat adrift, as if living in a dream.
Unreal!
It was so unreal!
What kind of person was Lu Yui?
Was she really thinking that big?
Keeping up with the tis?
Fully understanding the private lives of n in officialdom?
Daring to make such demands for Zhao Han?
When Lu Yui ran back from the backyard, Liu Zhizhong was still foolishly standing by the fishpond, gazing at the big catfish, grass carp, and old turtle in the water, unable to snap back to reality.
Lu Yui couldn't help but laugh, but imdiately resud her stern deanor. "What are you standing around for? Go make breakfast already!"
Liu Zhizhong finally ca back to his senses and turned to Lu Yui with a smile.
With the morning light shimring in his eyes, his smile exuded an even more refined and handso charm.
Even Lu Yui's heart fluttered a bit, feeling a sense of infatuation rising within her.
"Oh, hehe, sure, sure, what you said is right, Mrs. Lu, I'll go make breakfast..."
Then, Liu Zhizhong strode back into the house to get busy...
After breakfast, Lu Yui accompanied Zhao Han to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. The mother and daughter duo were dressed up as beautifully as flowers, young and attractive, brimming with energy and charm.
Zhang Hongyang was late, mainly because he had overexerted himself last night with the wife of the Shadong County Party Secretary, thus waking up late. Of course, the County Party Secretary got up even later, afraid of going ho too soon and encountering County Head Zhang, which might spoil his mood, haha...
Facing the mother-daughter pair looking like sisters, Zhang Hongyang was inwardly bitter—he felt like he was going to vomit blood from regret and embarrassnt, yet he maintained a grandiose smile when interacting with people, which made him appear quite hypocritical...
After breakfast, Liu Zhizhong considered his options and decided to visit the City Governnt office to pay a visit to Mayor Zhang Yuxing.
It had been a long ti, and he felt he owed her an explanation. Anyway, at this ti, he was no longer the City Governnt Chief Secretary, as the announcent was made that very morning that he was reassigned. The new City Governnt Chief Secretary was officially Zhang Xueyao.
Liu Zhizhong's reason for visiting the City Governnt was that he wasn't the Chief Secretary anymore and wanted to bid farewell to his forr leader, which was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it? ntioning this at breakfast, both Lu Yui and Zhao Han thought it was the right thing to do, regardless of how Mayor Zhang Yuxing treated him. This was the kind of vision a man should have!
But what the mother-daughter duo didn't know was that he wasn't going to say goodbye; he was going to report on his work, the kind that's done lying down.
To see Mayor Zhang Yuxing at the City Governnt, he would first have to get past Zhang Xueyao, sigh...
Zhang Xueyao was dressed in a professional outfit, looking capable and charming, complented by golden-rimd glasses, embodying the quintessence of a female secretary.
Having been tempered by the experience at the City Governnt, Zhang Xueyao had indeed matured a lot.
However, just a few words into their eting, when Liu Zhizhong expressed his intentions, Zhang Xueyao was very supportive, thinking he was conducting himself properly!
At the sa ti, Zhang Xueyao earnestly invited him, "Let's have dinner tonight, you must grace with your presence!"
