Chapter 670: Chapter 670
The secretary's confession had Demon Liu all flustered again.
He stood there, dumbfounded, unable to say anything before Zhang Xueyao returned to her office. Covering her red lips, she exuded an air of shy charm that was irresistibly tantalizing.
Watching her enchanting shadow retreat, Liu Zhizhong felt a bit of a spark in his heart, and wondered if dinner that evening might lead to a story?
Thinking back to Zhang Xueyao's devotion to him since university, Liu Zhizhong sighed... did he owe her too much? Was it time to repay her?
Leaving the City Government, it was already mid-morning. Liu Zhizhong didn't see the need to rush to Lin Juan's home. Besides, Lin Juan should be at the hospital with her daughter at this time, shouldn't she?
Lin Youyou was her life, her everything. From this perspective, she truly was a great mother. The man who had hurt her had left behind a daughter who brought her endless hardships. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Thinking of Lin Youyou, Liu Zhizhong also felt fortunate for her. After all, before meeting him, Lin Youyou was not like that 73-year-old patient from Deep in the city, Old Yang, who could use a helicopter to transport organs for transplant. For an ordinary little patient like Lin Youyou, the chances of getting a heart transplant were extremely slim.
Otherwise, why would Lin Juan have traveled all the way back to Yangzhou with her daughter? Because Yangzhou had the medical resources they needed! Because they couldn't afford a helicopter!
Liu Zhizhong went straight home, thinking that after the noontime divorce feast, he could visit Lin Juan's home. That'd be fine, right?
Once home, oh, Lu Yumei and Zhao Han had already returned.
Lu Yumei was feeding the goldfish on one side, while Zhao Han was washing her car on the other.
Seeing Liu Zhizhong return, Zhao Han looked at the Big Lao camper van with delight and said, "Hey, Brother Zhizhong, mom told me your new car is really cool and powerful. Is it really a camper van?"
Liu Zhizhong glanced over at Lu Yumei, who turned to look at him at the same time.
Their eyes met, but there were no waves of emotion.
Liu Zhizhong smiled and nodded, "Yeah, mom's right! It is a camper van, not bad, it's usable."
Zhao Han laughed, "That's great! I'll take the afternoon off, and take a couple of days off after that. I'll put off any study or activities for two days. Let's take this camper van out for a drive, to clear our minds, how about it?"
"Uh... leave this afternoon?"
Liu Zhizhong hesitated, thinking to himself that he had planned to go to Sister Juan's house in the afternoon!
However, Lu Yumei said from the fish pond, "Han Han, sure, we can depart this afternoon. Since Zhizhong is recovering from his illness, he should get some good rest, hehe..."
At that, Liu Zhizhong felt inwardly awkward. If his mother-in-law said so, what could he possibly object to?
As a result, his mother-in-law's little lapdog obediently didn't say a word against it and immediately started preparing three days' worth of food and other necessities.
The camper van also needed restocking, like replenishing the water supply for daily use and such.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong was also happily busy with these tasks. Taking a road trip with a mother-daughter pair, two stunning beauties, might just be for a brief stint of three days, but it was thrilling nonetheless, wasn't it?
However, he did remind himself to be cautious. If things with Zhao Han became too intense, he had to be careful not to let Lu Yumei find out.
Although Lu Yumei encouraged him to be with Zhao Han, being too blatant, without any sense of process in his mother-in-law's eyes, wouldn't be too good, would it?
He was a man, not an animal! Haha...
With these thoughts in mind, Liu Zhizhong was busy changing the water for the camper van, unwittingly smiling.
Abruptly, Lu Yumei's voice rang out, "Liu Zhizhong, what are you smiling at? You look so sneaky."
Liu Zhizhong startled, quickly covered it up, saying, "Nothing much! I was just thinking about this time in the Provincial City, the gifts we gave to the officials."
"Oh? What about it?" Lu Yumei, having finished feeding the fish, came over, looking genuinely interested.
Seeing that Zhao Han had gone back into the house to pack, Liu Zhizhong spoke in a low voice, "This time we gave the leaders turtle fish paired with turtle blood, and turtle blood tofu. It really caused quite a stir, they seemed to have had quite a night, hehe..."
"Ah? You..." Lu Yumei's face turned red on the spot, she punched his back with a small fist, then coyly walked into the house.
Watching her charming shadow, Liu Zhizhong touched the spot where she had hit him and murmured, "What... did I say wrong? Sigh..."
