Finally, he smiled and said, "They hold high positions and wield great power, what can we do? Let it be! I was just afraid of implicating you and Aiguo."
The woman laughed, "What harm could it do to him? The biggest loss was just three days of IV antibiotics. But this guy really charmed the girls at our nurses' station. They were even a little reluctant to let him go after he was discharged!"
Li Qiuxiang chuckled, "My little brother! He's really good-looking!" Then she remembered that the boy had said he wanted to find a wife similar to his grandmother, which surprised her. She thought his grandmother was a great beauty, but when she saw her that day, she wasn't exactly pretty; if she had to compliment her, she'd say she was fair-skinned, plump, and prosperous-looking. Could it be that he likes fair-skinned and plump women?
The woman smiled and said, "Yes! Being good-looking is an asset." The two chatted for a while longer before going home.
It wasn't until his third day at work that Zhao Aiguo learned that Li Meiyu had gone to Northeast China with Lü Xiaozhou and gotten their marriage certificate before leaving. He immediately went to Secretary Li's house after get off work. Seeing how much she had aged, he felt incredibly sorry for her. She smiled and said, "So you've come to pity me and comfort me too?"
Zhao Aiguo shook his head, walked in, sat down, and said, "What's there to comfort us about? We all know the truth. Ma Renyi took all the blame upon himself, while Lü Mei cleared herself completely and they've been divorced for a long time. Lü Mei is keeping a low profile now, but once she's established herself, Lü Xiaozhou will still come back. At most, Meiyu will only suffer for two or three years."
Secretary Li smiled and poured him a cup of tea. "You're just talking without understanding the situation. You'll understand when you become a parent."
Zhao Aiguo chuckled, "Am I not a child myself right now? I can't understand the hearts of parents, but I can understand the hearts of children! Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Do you think my sister Meiyu is the kind of person whose mind is only filled with love and affection?"
Secretary Li sighed, "I'm afraid he doesn't have either of the two things you mentioned!"
Zhao Aiguo leaned closer to Secretary Li and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Let me tell you, it's better to have nothing than to have nothing but love in your head! The trouble I had recently was because I met someone like that. The woman married a tyrant. Marrying that kind of person isn't just about having a head full of love; it's more about having an incredibly strong constitution! She can't be killed by punches or knives..."
"Get to the point, stop with the nonsense! You're so young, yet you spout off about everything under the sun!" Zhao Aiguo retorted, displeased. "Is this true? I met them when I was ten. We lived together before I was married, and I was beaten so badly I miscarried. After that, the beatings were insane. She was always practicing boxing. Just recently, that guy stabbed her brother to death, and she herself was stabbed seventeen times, her ribs broken..."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Li exclaimed, "Isn't this Old Zhao's son? He had a bright future ahead of him, and was supposed to retire in ten years, but then he had this outstanding son!" He tentatively asked, "Is the man you're talking about named Zhao Yunxiang?"
Zhao Aiguo blinked. "You know him too?" Secretary Li nodded. How could he not know him? He was in this position to succeed Zhao Yunxiang's father.
