...

Half an hour later, Ms. Lin was covered in dust and dirt, but she finally found it!

She eagerly opened it, and an unassuming two-inch photo lay quietly inside the envelope.

Ms. Lin's eyes narrowed, her breathing quickened, and she couldn't tell whether she was more expectant or annoyed. In the end, she took out the photos.

A clean and crisp ID photo looks much clearer than a candid shot.

Ms. Lin couldn't believe it at first glance, so she hurriedly went back to her room to get her reading glasses and put them on to see. Only then did she completely lose her composure!

Just then, Shen Jianzhong frowned and sat up. "What are you doing shouting and running around so early in the morning?"

Ms. Lin stared blankly, "Old Shen, something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Shen Jianzhong barely reacted before regaining his senses.

Having held a high position for many years, he has long since honed the skill of remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapses.

Besides, women are used to making a fuss, so it might not be a big deal at all.

It wasn't until Ms. Lin took a few steps and shoved a pair of ID photos—the purpose of which was obvious—in front of him that Shen Jianzhong raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What's going on? Did you Photoshop that out of boredom?"

They've gone to this lengths to get their son married?!

Ms. Lin, "..."

When it comes to having a unique way of thinking, it has to be the People's Special Committee Member Chen!

"What are you talking about! This isn't photoshopped! It's real! Your son sent us his wedding photos from all over the world!"

Shen Jianzhong, “???”

Before the couple could have a chance to calm down, Ms. Lin's phone rang.

She took the call and saw it was from Xue Qing. She glanced at her husband, Shen Jianzhong, and said, "It's Xiao Qing who made the call. I bet it's related to this 'little wife' of unknown origin in Xizhou!"

Shen Jianzhong: "Stop talking nonsense and answer it quickly."

As soon as Ms. Lin answered the phone, Xue Qing's clearly tearful voice came through the line, "Aunt Lin, I may have to disappoint you. Xizhou... Xizhou is living with a girl who is twelve years younger than him. She's his subordinate, a court clerk who just graduated from junior college. I... I never knew Xizhou liked young girls. I overestimated myself, sob..."

Although Xue Qing's sobbing voice was unpleasant to hear, the couple both grasped the key words.

"Cohabiting", "Twelve years younger", "Subordinate", "College graduate", "Clerk"

? ? ?

The couple stared wide-eyed at each other, finding it hard to believe that their son could do such a thing!

But both the photos and Xue Qing's accusations early in the morning were clearly presented before them.

When Ms. Lin saw Shen Jianzhong's suddenly cold and indifferent expression, her heart pounded. Holding the phone, she quietly moved to the side. "Xiao Qing, don't be sad. Tell me in detail what happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jianzhong, standing by the bedside, roared, "What are you still saying? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? You hurry up and call that brat and tell him to come back to Beijing immediately!"

If this matter can't be explained clearly, then he might as well not acknowledge this son!
