Chapter 277: 277 is getting structured
Zhao Yan felt somewhat aggrieved, her eyes tinged with a hint of redness.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but feel a bit of pity, though of course, deep down he was quite elated.
This was the first time in years of marriage that his mother-in-law had taken his side.
Liu Zhizhong quickly said, "Mom, let me discuss this matter with Zhao Yan, you should—"
"Discuss what? What your mother says is the decision!"
Liu Zhizhong was speechless and looked towards Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan coldly said, "Don't say anything, whatever you say is just pretense."
Then, she turned around and headed upstairs, quickly washing up, and went downstairs all brisk, carrying her briefcase.
Liu Zhizhong still wanted to say something, but Zhao Yan didn't look back and stormed out, jumping into her car in the garden and sped away.
Liu Zhizhong let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said, "Mom, in a family, we should prioritize harmony. Why must you—"
"Shut your mouth, you!" Lu Yumei stood up from the dining table side, her almond eyes glaring coldly, in a commanding position, "The Zhao family is now at loggerheads with the Zhang family, Zhao Han insists on getting a divorce, and your mother supports it. You know the influence of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, we can no longer rely on Zhang Hongyang. Now, you're showing signs of moving up—work hard, the Zhao family is counting on you!"
"Uh... Mom... That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Isn't there still my aunt?"
Liu Zhizhong hadn't expected Lu Yumei to reveal her savvy so suddenly. This wasn't just a willful, shrewish woman, but one with vision, adept at analyzing officialdom.
Lu Yumei's expression softened slightly and she said, "Your aunt? Due to that trash Ma Xudong, your former leader, she's been negatively impacted quite a bit. There's no big development for her anymore. So, this family, it's all on you now. If you fail to live up to expectations, you can get divorced and get lost just the same!"
"Uh…"
"Uh nothing! You're going to see Zhang Hongyang this morning, and it is not out of the question. If you want to disgust him, do so with measure, don't overdo it."
Liu Zhizhong knew what he had in mind and said, "Mom, don't worry. I won't be that reckless. After all..."
"Enough, no more talk, I'm going upstairs."
Lu Yumei waved her elegant pale jade hand and went straight upstairs.
Wasn't Liu Zhizhong left to clean up everything on the dining room table?
Liu Zhizhong felt gloomy. This was the typical authoritative woman in a family, alas...
Little did he know that Lu Yumei had only gone a few steps up the staircase when she turned back and said, "You go to the hospital if you want, I'll clean up the house."
"Uh..."
Liu Zhizhong hadn't expected this. Ah, this woman was somewhat interesting.
Of course, he also understood that Lu Yumei was placing her bets on him!
Well, this was a kind of expectation too. He had to really work hard!
With Lu Yumei there, it would probably be hard for Zhao Yan to think about divorce, right?
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhizhong arrived outside the door to the high-level ward at the central hospital.
Zhang Hong being hospitalized and without a high-level ward?
Impossible!
He must have one!
A dedicated bedside nurse and a special meal service.
Standing outside the door, he held a bouquet of flowers in his left hand and a super-large fruit basket in his right, managing to look very sincere.
Just when he was about to knock, his ears, sharper than those of a dog, suddenly picked up a conversation between Zhang Hongyang and the doctor.
"Doctor, about that... the check-up didn't reveal any serious issues, right?" Zhang Hongyang's voice was a bit faint and seemed nervous.
"Oh, the injury is actually quite stable! However..."
"However what?" Zhang Hongyang sounded even more anxious, "It won't affect my ability to have children, will it? I don't have any children yet, doctor, I'm begging you..."
Zhang Hongyang sounded pitifully distraught.
His testicles were wrecked, and he had surgery, it was already the sixth day, and it barely hurt anymore.
But when he saw the charming bedside nurse, he felt his heart couldn't even get excited!
In the past, seeing such a pretty nurse, he would have gotten aroused.
One time when he was hospitalized for a stomach condition, hadn't he slept with two beautiful nurses?
