Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance
Chapter 245: 245 cares about face
Anyway, Du Yuesheng still remembered vividly how Liu Zhizhong had undermined him!
But, thankfully, Liu Zhizhong hadn't made any particularly outrageous demands afterward, he had simply lost a glamorous vixen.
He was just worried about his nephew, Zhang Hongyang, who had become the District Chief of Dongjiang District. Ah, if he got into a struggle with Liu Zhizhong and ended up being undermined, that wouldn't be great.
That very evening, Zhang Hongyang returned to his maternal home for a meal, naturally bringing along his wife, Zhao Han.
As for Zhao Han, ah, after her husband returned to Yangzhou, she feigned infection with COVID-19, complaining of severe headaches and even donned a mask.
Anyway, she simply didn't want to share a room and sleep with Zhang Hongyang anymore.
At the dinner table were the Lu family sisters, the couple Zhang Hongyang and Zhao Han, and Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan, serving as the Deputy District Chief of Dongjiang District, was now frequently staying at home.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong's affairs couldn't be absent from tonight's family dinner conversation.
Zhang Hongyang feigned politeness on the surface, saying, "This brother-in-law of mine has had a turn of fortune, recovering from his injuries and returning to Yangzhou, he's bound to be promoted and put to good use. As family, I think Zhao Han and I should really visit him in the provincial city tomorrow."
Such sentiment was, after all, quite normal.
Lu Yuqing and Lu Yumei nodded their approval.
Zhao Han said she wouldn't go, as infecting Liu Zhizhong with COVID-19 would not be good.
This was also a suitable excuse, which likewise received the elders' approval.
Lu Yuqing looked at her niece, Zhao Yan, and said, "Zhao Yan, Hongyang is going to the provincial city to visit Zhizhong, what about you? You should go, shouldn't you?"
Lu Yumei also looked at her second daughter but before she could speak, Zhao Yan said, "I won't be going, I'm quite busy with work tomorrow. Besides, the divorce agreement is already signed; what's there to see?"
Her tone was cold and her attitude somewhat firm.
Zhang Hongyang listened and was secretly thrilled, thinking it was great that they were getting divorced, meaning plenty of opportunities for him.
But Lu Yuqing shook her head and said, "Zhao Yan, you're not divorced yet! Zhizhong survived a great disaster, which means he's destined for fortune. Right now, he's highly sought after. As his wife, not visiting him at a time like this might give rise to criticism, leading to gossip. We have to consider appearances when we're among people. I'm planning to visit Liu Zhizhong as a family member tomorrow, let alone you."
Zhao Han immediately chimed in, "That's right, little sister, Auntie's right! No matter what, even if there's no affection between you, it's only fitting to visit him at a time like this. Mom, what do you think? Are you going too?"
Zhao Han was quite clever, redirecting the spark to her own mother, Lu Yumei.
Lu Yumei, despite her bad temper and proud nature, sometimes acting hatefully, was still clear-headed in the face of right and wrong. She nodded and said, "Hmm, Yan'er, what your auntie and older sister said is correct. Our Zhao family can't be so heartless over matters of face. This time around, Hongyang has been quite generous. He doesn't get along with Zhizhong, but he's still actively offering to visit him, which is good. So, I think you should go too! How about this, tomorrow, we all go... oh, Zhao Han can't go, you're indeed infected, it's inconvenient."
Ah, with her mother saying this, Zhao Yan couldn't refuse and had to agree.
The next morning, Zhao Han stayed at home alone while the Lu family sisters, along with Zhang Hongyang and Zhao Yan, went to the provincial city to visit Liu Zhizhong.
Although the hospital where Liu Zhizhong was staying was kept secret in the news, it was still incredibly easy for Zhang Hongyang to find out which hospital and room Liu Zhizhong was in. Wasn't it just a matter of calling Zhang Tianbao?
Going to the provincial city, naturally, Zhang Hongyang drove his own car, ushering everyone on their way. Privately, he drove a Maybach, offering an exceptional riding and driving experience.
He had called Zhang Tianbao in advance and indeed obtained the hospital and room number of Liu Zhizhong, learning it was a deluxe single room. He was internally displeased! This bastard wasn't killed by the explosion or burnt to death, and now he was staying in such a high-class hospital room?
