Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance
Chapter 27: 026 Psychological shadow
Zhang Hongyang was now with his nose and face wrapped in gauze, and the skin around the only visible eyes was crisscrossed with scars and discolored by medicine—it was an utterly unsightly image.
Furthermore, he was nearsighted, squinting and glaring at Liu Zhizhong, his inner rage considerable.
How could Zhang Hongyang, a distinguished district leader, feel comfortable with such a wretched appearance exposed to his enemy? No, he was supremely uncomfortable!
Not to mention the haunting shadow of cuckoldry suspicions flooding his mind, making him feel all the more uneasy.
Yet Liu Zhizhong showed a face full of warm smiles, exuding the grace of a refined gentleman, dressed impeccably, dazzling the young private duty nurse!
Liu Zhizhong said with a smile, "Brother Hongyang, how are you holding up? It's a blessing in disguise! How are you feeling now?"
As he spoke, he placed the fresh flowers and fruit basket on the bedside table.
Zhang Hongyang snorted coldly twice and gestured for the nurse to leave before sneering, "Liu Zhizhong, cut the bullshit smiling, you're here to mock me, aren't you?"
Liu Zhizhong thought to himself, even if I am, what can you do to me?
However, sitting on the sofa chair next to the bed, he said seriously, "Brother Hongyang, big brother-in-law, my respected senior, my brother by marriage, look at what you're saying—it's hindering unity and affection, isn't it? We're family, after all. We should be promoting shared progress, mutual help, and love!"
Zhang Hongyang snorted again, "You've become a secretary to our Promoted uncle, I see you've started to talk big now, haven't you? Let me tell you, Liu Zhizhong, what I said stands, take some time to reflect on it! Now, take your damn flowers and fruit basket and get out! Vanish from my sight! I don't want to see you!"
While speaking, Zhang Hongyang even pointed towards the door, exhibiting the imposing air of a district leader!
Liu Zhizhong spread his hands helplessly, saying, "Alright then, since it's like that, I won't say anything more. I'll go back and tell your sister that her husband disdained the flowers and fruit basket she asked me to buy."
"What? You're saying this was... Zhao Han asked you to buy this?"
Liu Zhizhong with a dead-serious face that was frightening, said, "Of course. Why would I buy this for you if you're this unhappy with me? I, Liu Zhizhong, am indeed a benevolent person, but I'm not stupid, and I'm certainly not that much of a doormat."
"You..." Zhang Hongyang pointed at Liu Zhizhong, furious, and waved his hand, "I don't want to waste words with you! Where's your sister, why hasn't she come to see me? The traffic police can't get in touch with her either!"
Liu Zhizhong already had an excuse ready, "When I went back last night, she was working on a draft, I really didn't notice she had gone back to her mother's home. It was only after I finished my work that she told me she had come back earlier and was sleeping in her room with her phone on silent. Later, when she heard about your accident, she was so frantic she couldn't leave the house because of the heavy rain, and she ended up breaking her phone. She even scolded you for not being careful. Were you blind? She only got a new phone this morning. But because of the rain, she hasn't left the house yet and asked me to check on you in her stead. She'll probably come after the rain stops. Now, I've seen you, and I should really get back to town now—I've received my reassignment orders and need to arrange for the handover of my work."
Zhang Hongyang felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but he couldn't find a way to ask Liu Zhizhong how he had managed to keep composure after drinking the Aphrodisiac.
He would have to wait until his wife came to see him and hear what she had to say.
In the meantime, Zhang Hongyang coldly said, "Fine, you can get lost now. Remember, don't think that just because you've made itin the Gaosheng City Committee, becoming uncle's favorite, you can get ahead of yourself in front of me, Zhang Hongyang!"
Liu Zhizhong shook his head with a helplessly amused smile, "Ah, when will this endless cycle of mutual revenge stop? Leader Zhang, why must brothers-in-law make things difficult for each other? Can't we transform our ill will into peace and goodwill? It's always like this..."
"Spare me the crap, I'm telling you, it's do or die between you and me, got it?"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, his face expressing helplessness, but he didn't say anything more, and he turned to leave.
In fact, he really wanted to lay everything out to Zhang Hongyang.
But then he thought, he had only recently been promoted. If Zhang Hongyang knew about it, there might be complications. If the bastard had no shame and complained about me to my uncle-in-law, it would be really troublesome.
So, alright, let this son of a bitch strut around for a while longer.
In the end, I've got his wife in my grip, I can play however I want. Haha...
After he left, Zhang Hongyang asked a nurse to pick a large apple from the fruit basket for him to eat; he was actually a bit envious.
The nurse did as asked, but after much picking, she selected a green apple and mentioned that this imported specialty green apple was so nice, especially expensive.
Just hearing the word green caused the shadows in Zhang Hongyang's heart to stir.
However, after the apple was peeled and he took a bite, he couldn't help but exclaim with admiration, "Wow, this green apple is really delicious, so delicious..."
In the mid-afternoon, Zhao Han had long adjusted her mood, feeling even better physically.
After waking up from her nap, she was able to walk normally. Youth indeed comes with a strong constitution!
So, she really did dress up and went to the hospital to visit her husband.
Upon seeing Zhang Hongyang, her display of concern and sorrow wasn't necessary to describe—Zhang Hongyang found it normal, and it warmed his heart.
Of course, Zhang Hongyang sent the other nurse who had come on shift away and earnestly asked, "Wife, the seduction plot failed. That bastard drank a cup of the drug and went back; he didn't try anything on you, did he?"
