Ah, that address of "second sister-in-law" really makes Lu Yuqing's heart uncomfortable. Why should she, after all? The former widow, allowing her little brother-in-law to chase her sister?

However, Liu Zhizhong saw right through it. Lu Yuqing didn't want to have breakfast with this once little brother-in-law, and similarly, she didn't want to dine with her elder sister and Zhang Zhenglong either.

Lu Yuqing's face turned cold, and as she walked, she said slowly, "Zhang Zhenglong, if you still think of me as your second sister-in-law, then heed my advice and give up your idea! My sister will not dine with you, nor will she ever fall for you."

Zhang Zhenglong felt a bit downhearted and shook his head, sighing, "Ah... second sister-in-law, aren't you being a bit too definitive? My feelings for Lu Yumei..."

Lu Yuqing waved her hand, indicating, "Enough, Zhang Zhenglong. Stop talking. Do you think just because the Zhang Family is rich and powerful, my sister should bow down and comply? There's no such good deal. You don't understand my sister..."

Right at that moment, Liu Zhizhong felt it was time to... ah, speak up.

After all, this could deprive Zhang Zhenglong of any opportunity, but once I say something, he's going to have a chance again.

An official knows how to seize opportunities and control the situation to some extent.

So Liu Zhizhong gave a fake cough and looked at Lu Yuqing, "Auntie, don't make your refusal so absolute! Uncle Zhang is a big CEO after all, sincerely inviting us for breakfast is free food! He's so rich, having a meal with him isn't overstepping, right? Besides, what does having breakfast have to do with love and marriage? It's just a breakfast. I don't believe my mother-in-law is destined to be with him forever, right? Refusing Uncle Zhang's kind offer might make us seem petty, don't you think?"

Zhang Zhenglong was inwardly delighted; damn, Liu Zhizhong knew how to speak! Well said, heh heh!

He verbally supported Liu Zhizhong's joke, "Exactly, exactly, Zhizhong is right! Second sister-in-law, you and your sister should think bigger! It's just breakfast, I won't bite, right? Matters of the heart, we can talk about them later!"

He thought, as long as he got a foot in the door, slowly, he would have more of a chance.

Damn, Liu Zhizhong is clever, with good planning!

As for Lu Yuqing, she followed Liu Zhizhong's lead.

Despite being a deputy department-level female leader and him being just a department-level cadre, she was completely devoted to Liu Zhizhong. Just as in bed, she did whatever Liu Zhizhong told her.

So, at that time, Lu Yuqing softened her expression and nodded, "Alright, Zhizhong makes a lot of sense. I'll talk with elder sister in a bit."

Zhang Zhenglong was overjoyed, "Thank you, second sister-in-law, thank you so much..."

"Don't call me that; it feels weird."

"Once a sister-in-law, always a sister-in-law, haha..." Zhang Zhenglong, the bastard, finished speaking, laughed, and then hurriedly carrying bags big and small, chased after Lu Yumei to the top!

The two bodyguards looked at each other and, feeling their boss was energized like injected with chicken blood, quickly sped up past Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yuqing to follow their boss.

Liu Zhizhong deliberately didn't hurry, speaking softly, "Fat Ball, why don't you call me your second brother, then?"

Lu Yuqing suddenly laughed shyly, gave Liu Zhizhong a soft punch on the shoulder, and then said, "You, you're really funny. But without your decision, my sister and I really wouldn't want to go for his breakfast."

Liu Zhizhong sighed quietly, "Do you think I actually want to have his breakfast? Can't we afford it?"

"Then why... did you brainwash me into agreeing?"

"It's one situation now, another then, my little treasure. If something goes sideways, what can we do? Live in mediocrity forever, or have some ideas and prospects? Yangzhou is ruled by the Zhang Family; without good relations with them, our days will indeed not be easy!"

Lu Yuqing's eyes brightened, understanding and nodding, "Sigh, you always think things through! How come I didn't think of that immediately?"

"When you're in the middle of things, you do what you must. For personal benefit and development, any force that can be utilized, we must use, right?"

"Mm, I understand, once you explain it... it's crystal clear."

"..."

As it turned out, Zhang Zhenglong huffed and puffed to catch up to Lu Yumei but had reached the West Mountain Peak by then.

Lu Yuqing and Liu Zhizhong also quickly made it up; Lu Yumei was in the midst of rejecting Zhang Zhenglong, and her tone was fiercely genuine.

"Have you had enough, Zhang Zhenglong? Do I, Lu Yumei, look like I can't afford to eat, or what? Do I need to eat your breakfast to ensure everything goes well? Don't think just because you're one of the Zhang Family's main pillars, a billionaire, that you're so great. I, Lu Yumei, won't beg you for a dime. It's never going to happen between us, just give up already!"

Zhang Zhenglong's legs were trembling, holding those bags large and small, he didn't even have time to respond before Lu Yumei snatched her backpack and phone bag and turned to walk away.

At that moment, Liu Zhizhong gave Lu Yuqing a look.

Conveniently, Zhang Zhenglong also looked pleadingly toward Lu Yuqing.

Lu Yuqing knew what had to be done, could only smile bitterly, and walked towards her elder sister.

Zhang Zhenglong, eyes wide with eagerness, stood beside Liu Zhizhong, watching the charming silhouettes of the sisters...
