But Lu Yumei thought to herself, something's not right!
At home, Zhao Yan wasn't returning home anymore. Zhao Han was showing filial piety at the Zhangs, busying between work and their home, no longer coming back here.
If they were to go on a trip, wouldn't it just be her and Liu Zhizhong?
If people with ulterior motives saw them together, wouldn't it damage their reputations? It wouldn't be good for her or for Liu Zhizhong!
She thought about it and decided to call her sister, Lu Yuqing, that very night.
She wanted Lu Yuqing to take annual leave so the sisters could go on a summer getaway with Liu Zhizhong to Shennong Valley. They had planned to go previously, but the death of Zhang Dingkang had prevented it.
But Lu Yuqing, feeling down, said her relatives were visiting, leaving her feeling weak and uncomfortable, not wanting to move at all! She told her sister to wait a few more days.
As a result, Lu Yumei had no choice but to wait for her sister.
Of course, Lu Yuqing was still quite comforted by her sister's caring attitude towards Liu Zhizhong. This family should always be !
Although Liu Zhizhong's future was uncertain, having a harmonious family was everything!
After the phone call, Lu Yuqing also sent a message to Liu Zhizhong, comforting him, asking why he hadn't let her know when he was coming back.
Liu Zhizhong had only just taken a bath and gone to bed and replied, "I'm not thinking about these things for now, I need to rest a bit first, and there will be arrangements eventually. Of course, I didn't dare to contact you, knowing you had relatives over, I might not have been able to resist, haha..."
Lu Yuqing immediately felt consoled, "Hey, how did you know my relatives were visiting?"
"Days, I remember them. You need to rest well these next few days, avoid cold things. In this hot summer, don't touch cold watermelon, ice cream, or anything cold!" Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Got it! My sister was saying, she wanted to take you out to relax..."
The two chatted for a while longer, then Liu Zhizhong shifted the conversation to Ma Qingqing, saying he couldn't reach her, asking what was going on, if she had contacted her?
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Oh my, you didn't mention it, I haven't been in touch with Qingqing for almost half a month! You know, with Old Sir Zhang's passing and everything going on in town, I really haven't had time for her…"
"Oh, that's true! I've been busy with dubbing work for that TV show in the Provincial City, I haven't been able to look after her either. This morning I visited Secretary Ma, and he specifically reminded me to take good care of Qingqing, sigh… I've failed in my duties as well! Well then, you rest well, I'll try contacting her tomorrow!"
After ending the conversation, Liu Zhizhong was really worried about Ma Qingqing, concerned that something bad might have happened, failing Secretary Ma's trust.
Originally, the loyal Demon Liu, deep in his heart, felt guilty towards Ma Xudong...
Liu Zhizhong also tried a video call on WeChat to Ma Qingqing, no one answered, so he left a message and went to sleep with worries.
The next morning, upon waking up, Liu Zhizhong called Ma Qingqing again, only to find her phone still switched off. No response on WeChat, and no one answered the video call.
His heart inexplicably began to panic.
Liu Zhizhong quickly got ready, went downstairs, and prepared to head to the Finance and Economics College.
On the first floor, Lu Yumei was up early, busily preparing breakfast in the kitchen!
Liu Zhizhong greeted her, mentioning he had something urgent and needed to leave immediately.
Lu Yumei supported him, also reminding him to eat some breakfast even if he was busy.
Ah, this close relationship was really nice!
Liu Zhizhong drove his car almost as if he were racing, his mindset somewhat unstable, convinced that something definitely had happened to Ma Qingqing.
He sped along the road, confident in his driving skills.
Upon reaching the Finance and Economics College, he headed straight for the female dormitories, hoping to find some classmates of Ma Qingqing's and learn of her situation.
However, at the entrance of the female dorms, after inquiring about the situation, Liu Zhizhong was completely flabbergasted...
