Chapter 710: Chapter 710

Sigh, he had planned to go to Lin Juan's house to listen to stories in the morning, but things didn't work out as expected.

He had such a good conversation with Zhang Tianbao and was asked to stay for a meal with the City Committee's top officials; Liu Zhizhong couldn't really refuse.

So, you see, some plans can never keep up with changes.

On his way to the Provincial City, Liu Zhizhong called Lin Juan to apologize, explaining that he had no choice but to go to the Provincial City to deliver something to the senior leadership. He would talk about it once he got back. Of course, he also inquired about Lin Youyou's recovery and was very happy to learn that she was getting along well and was about to be discharged from the hospital.

Lin Juan was understanding about Liu Zhizhong's busyness and said that the matters of the Liu Family had been going on for so many years, so there was no rush.

Lin Juan told him to be extra careful on the road. The rainfall had been particularly heavy that year, causing flash floods everywhere, and even the highways had problems, so he must pay attention to safety.

Liu Zhizhong assured her not to worry, that leaving home happily and returning safely had always been his principle.

By late afternoon, Liu Zhizhong arrived in the Provincial City, got off the freeway, and headed straight to Qian Xuan's place.

Compared to Luo Tianlin and the Old Secretary Li Tanglu, Qian Xuan's strong backing also needed immediate embrace and immediate reciprocation.

After all, Brother Xuan had deployed helicopters twice to help Liu Zhizhong with his affairs, and he had done a great job.

Moreover, now that they were calling each other brothers, Liu Zhizhong felt that it was necessary to solidify this relationship further.

As for Luo Tianlin and the Old Secretary, no worries, take it slow.

Upon arriving at the Qian Family Manor Villa, Qian Xuan was naturally quite happy. After all, this time Liu Zhizhong had obtained some particularly excellent food ingredients, from even more outstanding producing areas. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel•fire.net

No matter what, Yangjiang still couldn't compare to Ru River! The water in Ru River was just too clean, the natural products nurtured there were much more natural and pure. And Yangjiang, after all, flowed through several large cities, where urban pollution was quite severe. Alas, speaking of pollution, isn't it everywhere now?

Naturally, Qian Xuan insisted on having Liu Zhizhong stay for dinner, and that was inevitable. Although it wasn't yet time to borrow anything from him, as Luo Shuxiu's due date wasn't near, this did not affect Brother Xuan and little brother Zhizhong's relationship at all!

For Luo Shuxiu, such a relationship was indeed a delight to hear and see. Her husband and the man she loved were getting closer and closer, growing a deeper bond; that was the most comforting and happiest thing for Luo Shuxiu!

With his wife, Luo Shuxiu, by his side, Qian Xuan—who was sitting in a wheelchair on the mountain and water terrace of the host's second floor––enjoyed tea and chatting with Liu Zhizhong, which was indeed a quite interesting affair.

With his wife present, Qian Xuan turned from a pervert into a non-pervert: gentle and genteel, knowledgeable and scholarly, quite the taste of an academic.

Liu Zhizhong was curious about how a man could pull off such a transformation. Was it also a way of giving his wife face?

In any case, Liu Zhizhong didn't like the perverted Brother Xuan very much. With his wife by his side, Brother Xuan, he appreciated a lot.

He even remembered how this guy had gone off to join the army after graduating from college, to protect his home and country, and it was during that time that he lost his legs. Such a young man deserved to be commended for his service!

However, thinking of these things naturally reminded Liu Zhizhong of the affairs involving Qian Xuan, Xiang Wenhua, Lei Duo, and Feng Xiaoyue from back then.

Liu Zhizhong mulled it over silently for a moment before deciding to ask about it.

He took a sip of his tea, cleared his throat, and then said, "So, Brother Xuan, how is Director Feng's spouse doing overseas now?"

Qian Xuan's expression froze for a moment before he brightened up, "You kid, you wouldn't be thinking about Feng Xiaoyue again, would you?"

"No... Brother Xuan, you've misunderstood, I was just asking casually. After all, that left a deep impression on me."

Qian Xuan nodded, "I don't really know the specifics; she's been undergoing secretive treatments, and the situation doesn't look optimistic. Did you know that Yang Bingbing has officially become the president of Xinghai Film and Television Media?"

"Ah, really?" Liu Zhizhong was somewhat surprised. The Ice Goddess hadn't informed him about that!

"It happened yesterday. This indicates that Feng Xiaoyue's situation is not optimistic and she has completely retreated behind the scenes. In our circle, when a woman steps back, it is either because she is truly tired of it all and steps down, or it is because something big has happened in the family, like becoming a widow. Hence, I conclude that Lei Duo's time may not be long."

Liu Zhizhong nodded in silence, lit a cigarette, feeling that their circle was quite interesting. Even a woman retiring from the limelight had such particular nuances.

As he expelled the smoke, Liu Zhizhong said, "Regarding Director Feng's situation, does it imply that widows face more trouble, so families try to avoid these?"

Qian Xuan chuckled, "Ha, you could say that! Since ancient times, women have been a reflection of their men, right?"

As he said this, he looked fondly at Luo Shuxiu.

Luo Shuxiu looked serene and regal, casually smiling with undeniable grace.

Qian Xuan continued, "So, looking at your Brother Xuan's appearance, not bad, right?"

That comment made Liu Zhizhong just smile.

Luo Shuxiu, on the other hand, blushed modestly and lowered her head. Ah, her husband was saying these things in front of his beloved, not the slightest bit embarrassed!

Qian Xuan added, "Little brother Zhizhong, don't worry too much about Feng Xiaoyue and Lei Duo. The fates of some people have been sealed from the very moment they brought disaster upon themselves."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "I understand, thank you for the advice, Brother Xuan. Lately, I've been pondering something..."

Just as he spoke, his phone on the table vibrated.

He took a closer look—Yang Bingbing?

Just then, Qian Xuan also caught a glimpse and said with a grin, "Go on, answer it! I'll just listen, won't say a word, heh heh…"
