Chapter 667: Chapter 667

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 Yumei let out a cold chuckle and said, "My judgment 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."

"Men 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 same?"

"Lin Juan, that woman, she's got the hots for you. Her deep affection for you seems unchangeable. But let me give you a piece of advice, you should still be discreet and clean on the outside, don't mess 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 somewhat 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 government, 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 Yumei 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 somewhat adrift, as if living in a dream.

What kind of person was Lu Yumei?

Was she really thinking that big?

Keeping up with the times?

Fully understanding the private lives of men in officialdom?

Daring to make such demands for Zhao Han?

When Lu Yumei 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 Yumei couldn't help but laugh, but immediately resumed her stern demeanor. "What are you standing around for? Go make breakfast already!"

Liu Zhizhong finally came back to his senses and turned to Lu Yumei with a smile.

With the morning light shimmering in his eyes, his smile exuded an even more refined and handsome charm.

Even Lu Yumei'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... The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

After breakfast, Lu Yumei 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 home 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 embarrassment, 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 Government office to pay a visit to Mayor Zhang Yuxing.

It had been a long time, and he felt he owed her an explanation. Anyway, at this time, he was no longer the City Government Chief Secretary, as the announcement was made that very morning that he was reassigned. The new City Government Chief Secretary was officially Zhang Xueyao.

Liu Zhizhong's reason for visiting the City Government was that he wasn't the Chief Secretary anymore and wanted to bid farewell to his former leader, which was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it? Mentioning this at breakfast, both Lu Yumei 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 Government, he would first have to get past Zhang Xueyao, sigh...

Zhang Xueyao was dressed in a professional outfit, looking capable and charming, complemented by golden-rimmed glasses, embodying the quintessence of a female secretary.

Having been tempered by the experience at the City Government, Zhang Xueyao had indeed matured a lot.

However, just a few words into their meeting, when Liu Zhizhong expressed his intentions, Zhang Xueyao was very supportive, thinking he was conducting himself properly!

At the same time, Zhang Xueyao earnestly invited him, "Let's have dinner tonight, you must grace me with your presence!"
