Chapter 708: Chapter 708

As a result, Liu Zhizhong made what he thought was a wise decision.

Tomorrow morning he would go to the City Committee to give gifts, naturally, it was to bring some nourishing treats to Du Yuesheng and Zhang Tianbao.

After delivering the gifts, he'd immediately go to Lin Juan's house for a chat, have lunch with her, and then head straight to the Provincial City in the afternoon, carrying fish and other things to offer the leaders, not wanting to fall short of expectations.

Incidentally, this would also allow him to avoid Zhao Yan, wouldn't it?

The matter of divorce, if it could be delayed by another day, then it was another day gained!

Counting the days on his fingers, well, there weren't many left. If he could catch her being unfaithful, she would have to straighten up, hmph hmph~~~

The next morning, after having breakfast, Liu Zhizhong got busy straight away.

First, he made a trip to SF Express for express shipping, sending some fresh fish, turtle meat, and blood tofu to Zhang Zhenglong in the Southern region.

Uncle Zhenglong had been good to him; it seemed only right to let him nourish himself a little, didn't it? Reciprocate a favor for a favor, be grateful for the kindness, that's how one should behave, right?

Zhang Zhenglong had been busy with his mining business in the South and hadn't come back for a while, an enterprising and motivated middle-aged man, quite impressive.

Having dispatched the express delivery, he sent a message to Zhang Zhenglong to let him know he was sending some supplements for his private use in the kitchen.

Zhang Zhenglong, upon receiving the message, called to express his gratitude, asking what kind of supplements they were. Liu Zhizhong didn't reveal anything, saying Uncle Zhenglong would find out when the time came.

Teasing a bit, but Zhang Zhenglong wasn't upset, still polite and thankful to Liu Zhizhong, and after a few words of appreciation, they ended the call.

Liu Zhizhong felt at ease inside and started driving towards the City Committee to deliver gifts. Du Yuesheng would surely enjoy this type of gift, and Zhang Tianbao, being middle-aged, also needed to replenish his strength; it was both fitting and reasonable.

While driving, he unexpectedly received a call from Zhao Yan.

The moment he saw it was his wife calling, Liu Zhizhong felt a twinge of apprehension—this wasn't good!

Of course, he still answered the phone, his voice gentle as he started, "Wife..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Yan already said, "Did you come back from your trip yesterday afternoon?"

Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, completely at a loss as to who could have told Zhao Yan about his return.

It couldn't be the Lu Family Sisters, could it?

It couldn't be Zhao Han, could it?

Subconsciously, he asked, "Who leaked the news, huh?"

Zhao Yan let out several cold laughs and said, "I knew you were back last night. Of course, just now Secretary Lu and Secretary Du came to inspect our district, and she especially praised you in front of me, telling me not to always think about divorce!"

Liu Zhizhong felt depressed; it turns out Lu Yuqing was really... taking a lot of responsibility for my family!

He laughed and said, "See how good my aunt is to us? Wife, such kin, we must not let down."

"She's not my blood aunt, what does it have to do with me? I don't have to listen to her."

"But you knew I came back last night, who snitched on me?"

"Does whether I listen to Secretary Lu or not have any logical connection with this matter?"

"Not really, I was just getting back to the topic."

Zhao Yan coldly laughed and said, "Don't forget I'm also in charge of transportation. I know your license plate number very well. Yesterday at 5:39 PM, you were spotted leaving the highway in Jiangdong District. Isn't it true that you and Miss Lu came back from the vacation?"

Liu Zhizhong was left speechless.

After a moment of silence, Liu Zhizhong said calmly, "So, it seems to be a case of abusing public power for personal use, huh? Wife, you really are something..."

"Cut the crap! I have a meeting this morning, and I'll be waiting at the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon! You must be there!"

Her tone was icy, blunt, and seemingly oppressive.

Liu Zhizhong felt a chill in his heart, but he was also glad he had prepared in advance. Thus, he said, "I'm sorry, wife, I have to make a trip to the City Committee now and won't be available this morning. In the afternoon, the leadership in the province needs some things, and I have to personally take them to the Provincial City. Let's talk about the divorce when I come back from there, okay?"

"You... you... you're shameless! Always finding ways to avoid me, avoiding the divorce, right?" Zhao Yan was getting a bit angry.

"Wife, it's not me who's shameless! I'm going to the Provincial City to deliver things to the leaders, not really trying to avoid you! I want to see you too; it's been so long since I've seen my wife, I've almost forgotten I'm a married man!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
