NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1104: 1104
After the selfie was taken care of, the owner of the car wash also came over, insisting on taking a photo with Liu Zhizhong. He even gave him a lifetime free wash and maintenance package and recorded a video, saying it would be used for promotion.
Sigh, these days, everyone loves to ride the wave of popularity! Because that kind of popularity can be monetized!
Well, Liu Zhizhong didn't mind anyway. Since today's events were bound to spread, he might as well make the most of it...
After dealing with the car wash owner, he got back on the road, heading straight for the Qian Family Mansion.
Unexpectedly, before he even reached the dedicated road leading to the Qian Family Mansion, Zhao Yan's call came in.
Liu Zhizhong instinctively checked the time in the car, oh, it's 9:30 in the morning.
Sigh...
He knew what Zhao Yan wanted to say, but he still answered the call.
As soon as he picked up, Zhao Yan's icy voice rang out.
"Liu Zhizhong, can't you ever speak the truth?"
"Uh... honey, you..."
"Enough! Didn't you say you were going to accompany your 'godfather' to the south? The private flight at 9 this morning, right? And what happened? Ha, you're flaunting your luxury car and heroic deeds? You've gone viral, and it's a complete mess online. The heroic deeds notifications even came to my phone. Someone dug up on you, Liu Zhizhong, the star of the Yangzhou officialdom—you're famous now!"
Zhao Yan's sarcastic voice made Liu Zhizhong feel uncomfortable.
"Honey, can you not say it like that? I was supposed to go with my godfather and godmother to the south, but they decided at the last minute I didn't need to go, so..."
"Last minute decision? Ha, wasn't it supposed to be set in stone? Looks like your godfather and godmother don't value you, ha! Being a godson, ha, living the high life isn't easy, is it?"
"Hey, it's not what you mean! You're just wildly guessing..."
"I don't want to waste words with you! Since you're not going south, do me a favor and come back to Yangzhou right away. In the next couple of days, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get it done!"
"Sigh... honey, you're asking too much. I have my circle in the Provincial City! My godfather and godmother aren't taking me south, but I have other things to do! Right now, I'm rushing to another family for lunch. They've already invited me, and I've agreed. If I say I'm going back to Yangzhou for a divorce, what would people think of me? Can you guess what they would say? They'll say your wife is so beautiful and capable, and you divorced just like that? How can you bear it, what will people say about you..."
"I don't want to argue! So you're not coming back, right? I'll go to court and file a lawsuit!"
Zhao Yan sharply interrupted Liu Zhizhong's words and then immediately hung up the phone.
Liu Zhizhong was dumbfounded, sigh...
Zhao Yan was serious this time, so what should he do?
He stopped the car, pondered for a while, and then sent a relatively long message to Zhao Yan.
In the end, he said, "In officialdom, in the circle, I'm also not free to just rush back. People managed to dig me up from today's traffic accident, they can dig you up too. At the peak of this popularity, if we divorce and go to court, do you think no one will dig into that? Which of us stands to lose more in reputation? I think it won't just be me, right? Honey, calm down and let's talk about it after a while, okay?"
After sending the message, Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, staying put means staying put, not divorcing means not divorcing.
Zhao Yan knows the world well enough; she won't fail to understand this kind of message, ha...
