After Yue Xing finished asking, she turned her head to glance at Liu Zhizhong, scrutinizing him.
Her gaze seemed to say, "Do you have a deep grudge against Zhang Hongyang, hiding it from me?"
Liu Zhizhong raised an eyebrow, his expression lively and charismatic, as if saying, "I can't be bothered to explain; listen to what he has to say!"
Zhang Hongyang immediately started stammering, "He and I… he and I…"
"What exactly happened?"
Yue Xing grew even more curious, pressing him for answers, her voice growing much harsher.
With no escape, Zhang Hongyang reluctantly continued, "Niece, you don't know, but the grudge between him and me started back in our university days."
"What? That early?" Yue Xing was visibly shocked, grabbing Liu Zhizhong's waist and turning to glare at him, her expression saying: You really started off on the wrong foot with Hongyang during university?
Liu Zhizhong merely smiled faintly, his composed demeanor gaining an extra touch of grace.
On the speakerphone, Zhang Hongyang also offered a bitter chuckle, saying, "Yes, sigh… Back in university, he was two grades below me, but there were two things I really couldn't stand. First, Xue Yao really liked him, but he showed no interest in her, which really hurt her."
"Oh… You and Xue Yao never mentioned this at home, huh?"
"Our faces are thin, too embarrassed to speak out. Especially Xue Yao, she strictly forbade me from discussing it, let alone interfering with her affairs with Liu Zhizhong! In fact, she has always hated Liu Zhizhong. You see, Liu Zhizhong was supposed to move from the township to the sub-district office as the head, fully qualified, but Xue Yao blocked his promotion as part of her revenge. But who knew… damn it…"
Yue Xing chimed in, "Who knew that Liu Zhizhong would stumble upon good fortune, that Lu Yuqing would marry the former Mayor, making him the secretary to the secretary? Instead of being suppressed, he ended up getting promoted?"
"That's right, sigh… Speaking of your aunt by marriage, Lu Yuqing, I'd rather not bring her up..." Zhang Hongyang mentioned Lu Yuqing with regret, as he gradually came to understand that Lu Yuqing indeed sided with Liu Zhizhong, probably because of his exceptional qualities!
"All right, let's not talk about your aunt. Let's talk about you and Liu Zhizhong!" Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Heh heh… The second thing was that he directly offended me. All these years, many in the family probably thought of me, Zhang Hongyang, as a playboy, fond of messing around, right? But I had my innocent times during university too, sigh…"
Zhang Hongyang sighed, a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality emerging.
"You were innocent?" Yue Xing hardly believed it, knowing about Zhang Hongyang's romantic exploits during his university days, which led to several female students having abortions, none of the pregnancies coming to term, though he compensated them generously.
"Yes, I was innocent… sigh…" Zhang Hongyang sighed deeply, "At least, Xue Yao knew of my innocence. She understood me and always stood by my side. During university, I chased a girl who was incredibly beautiful and pure. She was the most beautiful girl in my grade but a different department, the school beauty since the first day I entered the school. I chased her for two years and seven months, without even holding hands, but at least she agreed to date me. And then what? Damn it…"
Zhang Hongyang was in the County Mayor's official car, in the back seat, cursing in anger, gritting his teeth and slamming his fist onto the small table in front.
His official car was custom-fitted with a V12 engine, modeled after a Volkswagen Passat – the standard car for the County Mayor of Shadong!
After the modification, he sat in the back, separated from the driver and secretary in front, with exceptionally good soundproofing.
But his outburst was so fierce that the small table almost broke, the loud snap echoed!
Yue Xing heard the unusual noise and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so angry? What happened?"
"What else could happen? That bastard Liu Zhizhong, damn him, he slept with the school beauty, yes, it was him, him, it was definitely him!"
Zhang Hongyang, recalling his youthful past, was uncontrollably furious, roaring hysterically…
