Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

Xiang Wenhua laughed heartily and said, "Just being polite, can't I?"

"Oh, haha, that's fine, that's fine..."

"..."

This peculiar pair of father-in-law and son-in-law chatted idly like brothers for quite a while before hanging up.

Liu Zhizhong, however, didn't know that actually Zheng Xitong and the Xiang family had reached a secret agreement.

The contents of this agreement are not very clear to anyone; we'll have to slowly find out later. Of course, Zheng Xitong knows, as do Xiang Wenhua and Grandpa Xiang.

Liu Zhizhong returned to Yangzhou, the Super Maybach cruising smoothly on autopilot, giving Liu Zhizhong some free time to make coffee or whatnot, quite leisurely indeed.

When the car entered Yangzhou's territory, Qian Xuan called, and he and Liu Zhizhong had a chat.

As they chatted, naturally the topic turned to Zheng Xitong traveling south and Liu Zhizhong's preparation to start working.

Qian Xuan said, "Brother Zhizhong, the smiling tiger has something about him I can't see through. His traveling south, I feel, won't be that simple."

"Oh? What's not simple about it?"

"It's just a feeling. It's not just about proposing to Feng Xiaoyue and you separately. My dad, your Uncle Qian, and I talked, and my dad shares this same feeling, but can't really articulate it."

"This..."

Liu Zhizhong fell silent for a moment, "Could it be... there's something else about his traveling south?"

"Definitely." Qian Xuan spoke with certainty, "It's just that we don't really know what. I suspect the smiling tiger has reached some secret agreement with the Xiang family."

"Ah? That's... that's quite mysterious, isn't it?"

"Haha... that's just how circles work. Everyone is aware of the traits and personalities of the big shots. Because the smiling tiger has a trait—he won't obtain others' ancient seals without reaching an agreement."

"Wow... there's really such a notion?"

"It's a usual practice." Qian Xuan said nonchalantly and relaxedly.

"But we also don't know what the agreement is, and there's no need for us to know, right?"

"Indeed! But what's certain is that if the Zheng family and the Xiang family have reached a secret agreement, it means they're up to something big, and we'll see it unfold later!"

"Haha, we can only wait and see later..."

"..."

When the call ended, Liu Zhizhong felt a sense of wonder mixed with anticipation.

What kind of big thing could it be?

People, after all, are always curious.

Returning to Yangzhou, he's not afraid Zhao Yan will monitor him anymore. After all, it was agreed to divorce before New Year's Day.

Zhao Yan also knew the Super Maybach returned to Yangzhou and was really angry! That scoundrel, damn bastard, got her riled up in the morning, and by the afternoon he was back in Yangzhou, what a rotten scamp!

What Zhao Yan didn't know was that the first thing Liu Zhizhong did when he returned to Yangzhou was to receive a delivery.

He spent quite a bit of money ordering a super drone, said to be the most expensive in the country, truly the pinnacle of civilian drones.

The package was sent to the home, received by Lu Yumei, and remained unopened.

In the past, hey, Liu Zhizhong's packages would have been opened by his mother-in-law.

Now, Lu Yumei respects Liu Zhizhong, or rather... cares?

When Liu Zhizhong got home, Lu Yumei, as if it was New Year's, hurried off to buy groceries for a decent dinner.

She also mentioned that Liu Zhizhong's package had arrived and asked him to go get it from the warehouse, noting it was quite heavy. Offhandedly, she asked what it was.

Liu Zhizhong said, "Just a drone to play around with, take some nice photos or something."

Lu Yumei bought it, haha...
