Before heading out for the divorce banquet at noon, Liu Zhizhong, Lu Yumei, and Zhao Han had packed their luggage, and the RV was ready.
After lunch, they set off, aiming for Shennong Grand Canyon. Liu Zhizhong had also prepared a lot of softshell turtle hooks/catfish hook sets and baits.
Shennong Grand Canyon, that's a spot where the Shennong River flows outside of Shadong County, within the boundaries of another city, and constitutes a 5A scenic spot and a summer retreat.
There, abundant produce was available, including fish, naturally including the local catfish and softshell turtles. Liu Zhizhong planned to drive into the scenic area, not going to the main sights, but finding a secluded place to set a few hooks and catch some local catfish and softshell turtles. These items were most plentiful in the quiet, out-of-the-way places.
Animals, you see, had become cunning with age and mostly preferred safe places. So naturally, it had to be a quiet and secluded spot. Speaking of which, aged and cunning animals, just like people getting older, also preferred peace and quiet, haha...
Everything was ready, and Zhao Han was also dressed up beautifully. For the divorce banquet, she wouldn't bring shame on herself. She had to make Zhang Hongyang regret it and make the Zhang family members feel remorse—that was where her sense of satisfaction and achievement lay.
Women's thoughts, really quite interesting.
Lu Yumei also made a special effort with her appearance, almost outshining her daughter. She would not let the Zhao family's women lose face, hmph...
As for Liu Zhizhong, he even shaved again that morning after having already done so. Lu Yumei had him apply some hair gel too. Wow, he looked more spirited, bursting with energy, so damn handsome!
Zhao Han was getting a divorce, and Liu Zhizhong got himself prepped like a groom, haha, amusing...
Of course, Zhao Han also called her sister, Zhao Yan, inviting her over for lunch. Regardless of whether this sister was a Zhao by name or by another, as the elder sister, she had done her duty.
Zhao Yan was very happy, congratulating her sister on the divorce, happy for her newfound freedom. She also advised against thinking about remarriage, saying how wonderful it was to be free and by oneself. However, she was not free to attend the divorce banquet, and she also felt the idea of a divorce banquet was somewhat absurd.
This made Zhao Han a bit frustrated, but she didn't blame her sister—if she couldn't come, then so be it!
Zhao Han also advised Zhao Yan, mentioning that Liu Zhizhong was getting better and better, and was a truly excellent person. "Little sister, you should be more aware; if you miss this chance, there won't be another store."
Zhao Yan surprisingly said, "Big sister, since you think Liu Zhizhong is so great, why don't you marry him after I divorce him? Then you can have your happy life, okay?"
"I...ah, little sister, we're talking about you and Liu Zhizhong. Why drag me into it?" Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
"Big sister, isn't it all for your good?"
"That tone of yours... sounds like it's for my good?"
"Let's not argue about these things. Big sister, have a happy divorce! I'm off now, I have a meeting in the district this afternoon, ugh... damn formalism..."
With that, Zhao Yan hung up the phone.
Zhao Han was quite downhearted, rather awkward, of course, but it didn't affect her mood.
Her divorce was still a happy occasion!
The future was still something to look forward to!
Especially as Liu Zhizhong drove his Big Lao RV, with Zhao Han taking the incredibly comfortable massage seat beside the driver, her mood soared, filled with excitement, happiness, satisfaction, and fantasies.
As for Lu Yumei, of course, she took one of the single seats in the back, which were also of the airline massage type, quite enjoyable.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Han felt as though she was riding in her husband's vehicle—the pride and enjoyment, a truly exquisite inner experience.
Now and then, she looked over at Liu Zhizhong operating the steering wheel and all that. Ay, however she looked, there was a certain aura about him, cool, he was seriously handsome!
Around 11:30 a.m., Liu Zhizhong's Big Lao slowly entered Zhang Qixiang's villa's underground parking lot, parking in the area designated for Villa No. 1. This was a collective arrangement; everyone coming knew about it.
Villa No. 1 was quite extensive, capable of accommodating 8 large round tables, perfectly matching the number of guests arriving that afternoon.
Entering the parking lot, Liu Zhizhong unexpectedly saw Zhang Hongyang greeting guests at the elevator entrance.
Zhang Hongyang took special notice of the Big Lao, and then, recognizing that Liu Zhizhong, Zhao Han, and Lu Yumei were alighting from the vehicle, his face looked a bit sour.
Damn it, has that bastard Liu Zhizhong changed to such a fancy car? And with a Southern license plate?
Of course, this last green [humiliation] before divorce set Zhang Hongyang's heart ablaze with anger, almost uncontrollable, but he managed to keep it in check.
County Head Zhang's stature had grown!
He actually came over with a smile on his face, cigarettes in hand.
"Brother Zhizhong, welcome! Aunt Lu, Zhao Han, good to see you all!"
This smiling gesture did indeed surprise Liu Zhizhong and the others, but they didn't care much about it.
Liu Zhizhong was indifferent—if you don't piss me off, there's no problem.
And as for Lu Yumei and Zhao Han, no matter how they looked at Zhang Hongyang, they could only see a beast, a hypocrite!
Of course, Liu Zhizhong accepted the cigarette, smiling and saying, "County Zhang, too kind of you to welcome us in person. Such an honor, congratulations! Wishing you freedom and a better tomorrow!"
Zhang Hongyang just laughed but didn't immediately respond. Instead, he turned to Lu Yumei and Zhao Han saying, "Aunt Lu, Zhao Han, please go upstairs first. It's on the second floor, the main table. You two can sit and rest, with waiters at your service. My sister is also up there, along with some relatives who've arrived. I'll be here, having a chat with Brother Zhizhong, hehe..."
What kind of trick is this guy playing with a smile plastered on his face?
Liu Zhizhong was puzzled but not opposed.
Lu Yumei and Zhao Han didn't object either, and the mother and daughter took the elevator to go upstairs...
