Chapter 130: 130 feels a bit off
Zhang Hongyang quickly found an excuse, saying he needed to go home early to rest because he had two important meetings tomorrow morning.
Zhao Han wasn't feeling well, so she wasn't going back home, and decided to rest at her mother's house instead.
After leaving his mother's house, Zhang Hongyang drove out of the villa area and pulled over, then immediately called Zhang Qixiang's cell phone.
However, Liu Zhizhong was cunning enough to be worried about someone calling and disturbing Zhang Qixiang's sleep, so he had turned off her phone!
Zhang Hongyang was quite disappointed. What was going on?
Liu Zhizhong had come back all fine, but now he couldn't contact his sister.
He thought for a moment, then quickly called Zhang Xueyao.
Zhang Xueyao's phone was available, and she had just finished taking a bath and was preparing to go to bed.
She was still quite satisfied with the evening's banquet and found herself having feelings for Liu Zhizhong again deep in her heart.
Really, not to mention his masculine charm, his personal development now also captivated her.
The only man she had ever liked, even though he was married now, still seemed like Zhang Xueyao's girlish dream.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong's willingness to spend money that evening made her really wonder if he had some intentions?
However, her evening was interrupted by Sister Qixiang! Oh, the domineering Sister Qixiang...sigh...
That was the only part she wasn't satisfied with; everything else was fine.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xueqi was wondering whether to call Liu Zhizhong to ask how the rest of the evening went with Zhang Qixiang, if they had had any unpleasant moments.
But she was still shy and hesitant. Wouldn't this show that she cared about him?
No, no, that would make him too proud.
Right then, Zhang Hongyang's call came through, so Zhang Xueyao answered it.
"Brother Hongyang, what's the matter?"
"Oh, haha, Xueyao, I just got back from my mother's home. I stayed and chatted with Liu Zhizhong for a while before leaving."
"Oh, really?"
Zhang Xueyao felt reassured knowing Liu Zhizhong had made it home, probably not too drunk.
"Yes! But Liu Zhizhong returned looking fresh and sober, and I can't reach my sister at all, her phone is off. You guys had dinner together, right? Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened!" Zhang Xueyao was a bit puzzled. "Haha, maybe Sister Qixiang went to sleep; turning off the phone to sleep isn't unusual, right?"
"Not right, not right. Can you describe what happened during dinner for me?"
Zhang Xueyao didn't think much of it. In her heart, with Zhang Qixiang's domineering nature, it would take Liu Zhizhong more than a hundred guts to wrong her.
Promptly, she accurately described the situation.
"Finally, Sister Qixiang wanted to talk business with Liu Zhizhong and sent me home. Oh, they made Liu Zhizhong's favorite dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but he said he doesn't like it anymore. Then, I didn't even try it and went home. I was indeed too full to eat anymore, haha..."
After listening, Zhang Hongyang didn't notice anything unusual. His sister was still her usual self, and Liu Zhizhong was still the same coward.
However, it appeared that the fellow really didn't eat the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Ah... what a pity, a missed opportunity...
Then, he laughed and said, "Ah, perhaps I was overthinking it! You are all women of the Zhang family; Zhong God shouldn't be bullying you. Brother Hongyang is a man of the Zhang family and it's my responsibility and duty to protect every woman of the Zhang family!"
Although he spoke nicely, what about the results?
That evening, he ended up compromising even his wife, and now his sister as well.
Who knows if Zhang Xueyao will be implicated in the future?
And there's Zhang Qin'er, Zhang Hongyang's younger sister who's in college; who knows if she'll be involved someday?
Zhang Xueyao was quite moved when she heard this, "Mmm, Brother Hongyang, I know you care for us! But can't you and Liu Zhizhong stop fighting? This constant quarreling..."
"Alright Xueyao, let's not talk about this anymore. It's a matter between men; you don't need to be involved. I won't be pleased until Liu Zhizhong is down. You can't just start having feelings for him again because he treated you to a ten-thousand-yuan dinner tonight, can you?"
"Ah, Brother Hongyang, what are you saying..."
Hearing her coquettish tone, Zhang Hongyang felt somewhat uneasy and quickly added: "Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Zhang Xueyao didn't say anything more and hung up the phone to go to bed.
At Liu Zhizhong's end, he had safely reached home without any issues, which was a relief!
Unknowingly, was worrying about Liu Zhizhong becoming habitual for Zhang Xueyao?
As for Zhang Hongyang, nothing felt right or comfortable to him.
After some thought, he decided to inquire further about the situation.
He wouldn't call his sister again and didn't need to make a trip to Tianrun Villa, as it was quite far.
He knew his sister had a sharp temper; if you disturbed her sleep with a call, she definitely wouldn't let it go!
So, Zhang Hongyang called the guest housekeeper at Tianrun Villa No. 9 to ask about the situation.
Naturally, this housekeeper was the beautiful woman who had welcomed Liu Zhizhong in the main hall of the villa...
