Chapter 681: Chapter 681

Zhao Han answered the phone, not knowing what to say, waiting for Zhao Yan's storm to erupt.

Surprisingly, Zhao Yan didn't speak either, seemingly waiting for Zhao Han to say something.

A strange atmosphere and style took place between the wife and her husband's mistress.

And the backdrop for these characters: officialdom!

Finally, after a mutual silence of a good ten seconds, the sisters both laughed at the same time.

The laughter had different meanings, but the sound was the same, a "hehe".

As the older sister, Zhao Han couldn't hold back and took the lead, "Younger sister, thanks for calling. I understand what you mean. Thank you for not exploding at me. I'm grateful yet surprised. Maybe, after all these years of sisterhood, it's time we had a proper talk."

Zhao Yan responded calmly, "Yes, it's time to talk. I've never seen a woman who's had an affair with someone else's husband speak so composedly, you're the first. True to being Liu Zhizhong's woman, after causing such a scandal and such a big mess, you still remain so steady."

Her words were bland, but the irony was thick.

Zhao Han saw right through it, her emotions had already stabilized, so she wasn't panicked and quickly responded with equanimity.

"Thank you, my dear sister, for being so sure, that makes me relieved. Women, why should we make things hard for one another, especially as sisters?"

"I'm not your sister, nor am I Lu Yumei's daughter, isn't that clear?"

"But in my heart, I've always seen you as my sister. Throughout our childhood, I've taken more scoldings and beatings than you ever have. Mom never scolded or hit you; any scolding or beatings you should have received, I took as the scapegoat. I've borne it all."

"Thank you, my dear sister. So, you got involved with my husband, enjoyed his body, and tried to put a green hat on my head?"

Zhao Han chuckled and took a sip of her tea before replying, "There is no causal link whatsoever. Actually, my involvement with Liu Zhizhong was quite unexpected. Mainly because of that beast, Zhang Hongyang..."

Zhao Han went on to tell the whole story, not hiding anything.

There was no point in pretending anymore; it was time to lay all the cards on the table!

She even mentioned how their mother encouraged her to be with Liu Zhizhong, mentioning it all.

She didn't leave out the part about Liu Zhizhong's friend sending a helicopter to bring her back, nor the embrace and passionate kiss beside the aircraft that caused such a stir.

Zhao Yan listened silently, occasionally acknowledging with a "hmm", her voice cold and emotionless, betraying neither anger nor any other strong emotion.

Sometimes, she would even drink water, appearing completely unruffled.

When Zhao Han finished speaking, she said, "Younger sister, I've been very candid and transparent. What about you?"

Zhao Yan replied with a light chuckle, "I'm even more candid and transparent than you. Zhang Hongyang really got what he deserved, shooting himself in the foot and losing his wife into the bargain. But just now, I gave Zhang Hongyang quite an earful, I even recorded our conversation. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhao Yan then hung up and sent the recording to Zhao Han.

Zhao Han was shocked to hear it but also felt that Zhao Yan was truly done with Liu Zhizhong. This made the older sister's heart steadier!

So, Zhao Han took the initiative to call back.

As soon as Zhao Yan picked up, she said, "Heard it, right? Satisfied?"

"Not at all surprised by my sister, District Chief Zhao, with such broad vision and boldness, and straight to the point! Zhang Hongyang, that beast, he probably won't dare to let the recordings leak anymore, better to delete it and be done."

"Of course. That bastard never had any good in him, relying on his family's power to do evil and bully Brother Zhizhong! His books, his drama scripts, his published articles, they were all done by Brother Zhizhong, under duress actually."

"Hehe…" Zhao Yan laughed, seemingly delighted, "It looks like Director Zhao really cares for her beloved, doesn't she?" Official source ıs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Sigh, younger sister, the man you don't care about, shouldn't others care for him? That's not how it works, is it?"

"That's right, it does make sense. Thus, I have no other demands, only one! Tell Liu Zhizhong that once this trip is over, he should divorce me immediately, so that we may both have peace and freedom. The water should flow in the family's fields, after all. Your wedding might need to be modest to avoid embarrassment, but I still intend to attend the celebration banquet and bring a gift."

A surge of emotion went through Zhao Hanfang, and she immediately answered, "Alright, younger sister, we will certainly fulfill your wish!"
