Chapter 612: Chapter 612
Liu Zhizhong went home to cook, and Lu Yumei had some leisure time.
Her face was swollen, and in the living room on the first floor, she looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and casually scrolled through her phone.
Liu Zhizhong greeted her and reported on his visit to the City Committee.
Mother-in-law's little lapdog, eh? He sure knows how to play the game.
As a result, when Lu Yumei heard Du Yuesheng's real intentions, her face flushed, her heart raced, and she angrily cursed that some men in officialdom really are no good—always causing trouble!
"Zhizhong, don't fetch any more turtle blood for that bastard Black Donkey Du. It's disgusting just thinking about it. You're enabling him to go and harm women!"
"Mrs. Lu, we can't say it like that. It's a special situation, so it calls for special measures! Besides, he asked me to visit Zhang Zhengchang in the afternoon!"
"What?" Lu Yumei jumped up, her face a picture of disgust, "Absolutely not! Why should you visit that old lecher?"
"Mrs. Lu, attitude is very important. Even if Zhang Zhengchang doesn't care for us, we have to show our stance. Better to play it right so it's easier to talk in the future. Imagine the embarrassment and shame he'll feel when he sees us. Of course..."
Liu Zhizhong said with a mischievous smile, switching to a lower voice, "It's us setting him up, and we got him good. Sending some flowers and a fruit basket, isn't that normal? Hehe..." Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Lu Yumei was convinced by his words, and she nodded, but still sternly said, "Don't buy flowers that are too nice, or a fruit basket that's too luxurious. He doesn't deserve it!"
"Mrs. Lu, it's just a small expense."
"Your money isn't money? It's paper? If it's paper, why don't you just burn it?"
Lu Yumei's temper, well, it certainly had its own flavor.
Liu Zhizhong quickly surrendered, then said with a laugh, "Enough talk, I'm going to make lunch. We can't let the hero of the Zhao Family go hungry after getting hurt. I'll need to nourish you. For lunch today, how about some steamed catfish and braised turtle rib meat, hehe..."
"Hey, don't, don't, don't..." Lu Yumei suddenly became bashful like a young girl, protesting in a coquettish voice, "No, no..."
"Ah? No?" Liu Zhizhong asked, feigning confusion.
"It's too nourishing! I had nosebleeds last night…"
"Oh, alright, alright... we won't have those dishes, I'll make a few different side dishes."
Liu Zhizhong chuckled to himself, ready to get busy in the kitchen.
But he knew, if he couldn't handle the rich food last night, how could Lu Yumei?
He suspected that what Lu Yumei suffered from wasn't a nosebleed but rather...
However, he said, "Aunt is coming back for dinner tonight. She should at least get to try them, right?"
"That's for you two to eat, I won't. It's really too nourishing, my face hurts."
Liu Zhizhong cheerfully headed to the kitchen thinking, Yuqing and I will eat, we'll get the nourishment, the rich nourishment, haha…
After lunch, Liu Zhizhong took a short nap before getting ready to pay a mock visit to the hospital, to check on Old Secretary Zhang Zhengchang, hehe!
Before leaving, Lu Yumei really emphasized again not to buy too nice flowers or fruit, and no need for tonics. She also had Liu Zhizhong to take a picture for her, warning that if he spent too much, she would be angry, she had to be angry!
The whims of a woman, kind of interesting.
Liu Zhizhong verbally agreed with a certain enjoyment of Mrs. Lu's petty household airs. It was real, down-to-earth, and amusing…
Indeed, when he arrived at the hospital, he pretended to go to the florist and fruit shop, took a photo with a cheap bouquet and a basket, and sent it to Lu Yumei, just to cover his bases.
Lu Yumei replied somewhat proudly with a voice message, "You've finally taken your mother-in-law's words to heart, hmph~~~!"
This hmph made Liu Zhizhong chuckle, savoring a different flavor of life.
In reality, he bought a large bundle of flowers and spent over two thousand on an imported fruit basket, and took them to visit Zhang Zhengchang.
He was familiar with the VIP ward area of the hospital.
After all, having served as secretary to his father-in-law and later to Ma Xudong, he had accompanied various members of the Yangzhou City Committee during their hospitalizations, visiting them numerous times.
On reaching the nurses' station this afternoon, a deputy head nurse recognized Liu Zhizhong and warmly greeted him, "Hey, Secretary Liu, what brings you here today... Who are you visiting?"
Liu Zhizhong responded with a smile, "Oh, I'm here to visit Old Secretary Zhang!"
"Him? He was transferred this morning!"
"Transferred? Why? Was the medical care here not good, or was the food bad?"
"Heh, as if our hospital isn't the best in Yangzhou! Old Secretary said he's going to Provincial City for treatment. The car we sent has just returned!"
"Oh... He really moved to Provincial City, eh? Which hospital?"
"I think a private one, but I'm not really sure."
Liu Zhizhong thanked her and made his way downstairs.
This old turtle really transferred hospitals, what trick is he playing now? Afraid of people hearing about his injury and coming to visit, making him lose face?
Well, might as well take these lovely flowers and imported fruit basket back home and sweeten up the mother-in-law…
