Chapter 88 is about seeing and chatting

  (Seeking collection)

  Liu Siyuan looked at her in surprise, and after Ouyang Qian gave him a glance, she continued to mutter to herself: "I suddenly realize now that getting married is probably the most painful thing in the world. Look at my parents, they've become like this, tormenting each other, what's the point?"

  She took a sip of water and continued: "So in my opinion, it's better to be free and easy alone. I'll tell you the truth, actually, I don't really blame my dad for having a mistress. From childhood to adulthood, I've seen many officials like them - which one doesn't have a red flag at home and a colorful flag outside? Actually, my mom knew about this long ago, but she just didn't want to expose them. As long as he still cares about this family in his heart, she would tolerate it. This time, it's because that stupid woman was too over the top, making my mom lose face, so she said she wants a divorce."

  Liu Siyuan also felt deeply moved after listening, Ouyang Qian seemed not as carefree and worry-free as she usually appeared to be. In fact, she was like most girls, with a thousand knots in her heart, hiding all sorts of thoughts inside, only they hadn't been expressed yet.

  Seeing Liu Siyuan's stunned expression, she continued: "You should be happy instead. If you've always been good to me and considering that I've already given myself to you many times, it's not impossible for me to consider being your mistress. However, I also want to remind you that everything is relative. Without the constraints of marriage, I can follow other men at any time, do you understand?"

  Liu Siyuan was speechless for a moment, but in his heart, he thought that the notebook was indeed formidable. It had obviously anticipated this event and knew that Ouyang Qian would be deeply affected by her father's affairs and automatically withdraw. On the other side, Ouyang Qian continued to say: "However, whether your future wife can accept the fact that you have a mistress is none of my business. Anyway, if you dare to treat me badly, humph, I'll go find another man first and castrate you!"

  Ouyang Qian is still Ouyang Qian, even when saying these words with her whole body curled up in his arms like a kitten, the words still reveal her overbearing nature.

  At this time, Liu Siyuan's phone rang again. Ouyang Qian had an obvious look of dissatisfaction. Someone wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw it was Zheng Gaofeng, he hesitated and answered the call anyway.

  "Haha, I've discovered something incredible!" Zheng Gaofeng exclaimed excitedly over the phone.

  "Really? About what?"

  "Haha, about our respected Mayor Jian's embarrassing matter, you little brat come to the county town tomorrow and we'll talk face-to-face." Then he hung up the phone.

  "Tomorrow I'll go with you too." Obviously, Ouyang Qian had overheard his phone call from the side. She wasn't eavesdropping for the first or second time either, this habit left Liu Siyuan speechless.

  "Liu Siyuan looked embarrassed because Zheng Gaofeng's words involved the county's main leaders, which was quite sensitive, and he himself hadn't suggested bringing anyone else."

  "What? Are you and that fat guy hiding something from me?!" Ouyang Qian immediately put on a stern face, looking displeased, her eyes also filled with distrust.

  Liu Siyuan thought to herself that someone had just said they didn't want to get married and only wanted to be lovers, but in reality, they were even more controlling than his regular girlfriends.

  "No... nothing, I'll just ask Zheng Ge." Liu Siyuan's surface was naturally sincere and hurriedly explained. Although somewhat depressed, he still didn't dare to let her get angry.

  Helpless, he could only make another call to Zheng Gaofeng to explain the situation, saying that Ouyang Qian happened to be with him and asked if it was okay to bring her over together tomorrow. Fortunately, the latter didn't mind, but on the phone, there was a burst of inaudible laughter, which made someone's goosebumps rise.

  Finally, Zheng Gaofeng said triumphantly over the phone: "You're bringing Ouyang Qian? Well, I'll bring a woman too and let you take a look. Although she's not as good-looking as your big-breasted girl, she'll still be sure to shock you."

  He hung up the phone with Zheng Gaofeng, and Liu Siyuan originally wanted to persuade Ouyang Qian to go back to the hotel to sleep, but as soon as he opened his mouth, she immediately turned her face, shouting that men are all bad things, abandoning them from beginning to end, and so on. He had to use all his strength to calm her down, and naturally didn't dare mention letting her go back to the hotel again.

  That night, Ouyang Qian slept in his room, occupying his bed. The little girl was obviously exhausted and soon fell asleep. Liu Siyuan then went to the courtyard and made a phone call with Fang Xinyi, honestly telling her about Ouyang Qian's situation.

  Fang Xinyu fell silent on the phone for a moment before saying, "Alright, next time you come to Hanjiang, we'll have a good talk about this matter. If possible, I think it's also time for me and Ouyang Qian to sit down and have a good chat."

  Liu Siyuan felt for the first time that Fang Xinyu's words had an unspoken dignity when she spoke, which left him at a loss for a moment, and he readily agreed. As soon as he hung up the phone, he began to worry again, what if these two women really met...

  The next day happened to be the weekend, and most of the town officials had returned to their homes in the county or city, which made him feel a sense of melancholy. This is how things are now in officialdom: township cadres live in the county seat, county cadres live in the city, no one truly lives at the grassroots level. How can they really experience the daily life of ordinary people? How can they feel the suffering of ordinary people?

  Although there were actually only a few people left in the town, Liu Sanyuan still had Zhao Guotang help him quietly take Ouyang Qian out of the reception office and then took his own car to the county seat, where he was supposed to meet Zheng Gaofeng at the tea house.

  It turns out that the driver of the special car and Zhao Guotang lived in the town, and both people were very satisfied and at ease with him, never speaking randomly outside.

  Zheng Gaofeng chose a very secluded location, to be precise, not in Cheng'en County, but a Western-style restaurant in the Ziwai city area. The lighting was somewhat dim and yellowish, and the environment was elegant.

  He also brought a female companion, and indeed gave Liu Siyuan a big surprise, because this woman was someone Liu Siyuan knew. She was Shen Yiyin, who had come to Chengen County with him as an exchange cadre and served as the deputy head of the county party committee's propaganda department. He still clearly remembered that when Shen Yiyin first met Zheng Baozi, she had a look of disgust on her face. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the two of them were together.

  Liu Siyuan quickly adjusted his emotions and politely said: "I didn't expect to see Director Shen today."

  Shen Yiyi hastily waved her hand and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't call me Director Shen, it sounds terrible. Besides, what kind of director am I? I'm idle every day with nothing to do..."

  Liu Siyuan was quite understanding of this, as a liaison officer in the county party committee's propaganda department, being ranked last among the deputy ministers is a very normal result. Moreover, it's said that their small county party committee propaganda department didn't have much to do in the first place, and yet they had five deputy ministers, who knows how they divided up the work.

  Shen Yiyiyu continued with a big smile: "You can just call me Yiyi, Gaofeng also said you're good brothers, so I won't be polite and call you Sixuan." It has to be said that this woman's diplomatic skills are still very strong, a few sentences and the distance is shortened. Moreover, Zheng Gaofeng brought her here today, obviously trusting her very much, not planning to avoid some things from her.

  Ouyang Qian still hadn't recovered from the blow, completely lacking her usual radiant demeanor, with a gloomy and unhappy expression. She casually greeted everyone before quietly sitting down beside Liu Siyuan. Zheng Gaofeng didn't introduce Shen Yiy's background to Shen Yiy, only mentioning her name. Shen Yiy naturally didn't think much of it, assuming she was Liu Siyuan's girlfriend. She thought this guy had great fortune, having such a beautiful and stunningly figured woman as his girlfriend.

  "Do you know why Jian Zhiqiu doesn't like Zhong Hanyun?" Zheng Gaofeng asked with a smug expression, eager to get straight to the point.

  Liu Siyuan humbly said, "Huh, could it be that there was a conflict in the past? Zheng Ge, stop being mysterious, what shocking inside story do you have to tell us?"

  Zheng Gaofeng burst out laughing, his two chubby cheeks shaking wildly: "Siyuan, let me tell you, if it were someone else, they wouldn't have been able to investigate this at all. Luckily it was me who took action! Haha, from today on, you'll have to call me Detective Zheng Gaofeng!"
