Liu Zhengxiang has stepped down.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; more parasites will inevitably be exposed in the future.
However, Lin Yu naturally didn't need to do these things himself.
He immediately sent a telegram to Yandu, arranging for Zhang Zhiyuan to become the acting mayor.
The rest was left to Zhang Zhiyuan to handle.
It's time for a purge of the officialdom in Xidu.
After Lin Yu finished acupuncture on Yingying and wrote out a prescription, it was already past noon.
Yu Xiyan had been staying by Lin Yu's side without eating, and now she immediately invited him to her home for dinner.
"Lin, Inspector, I happen to be off work this afternoon. How about we come to my house for dinner together?"
Yu Xiyan is a very generous girl.
She didn't seem reserved because of Lin Yu's change in status. After all, the two were already quite familiar with each other, and she knew that Lin Yu wasn't the kind of person who cared about status.
However, in public, this form of address can no longer be used as casually as before.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Why are you falling into the same old trap? Just call me Lin Yu. We're just friends in private. Don't make me feel alienated from the crowd!"
Pfft!
Yu Xiyan was suddenly amused.
Blushing, she said, "Alright, Mr. Lin, may I invite you to my home for dinner?"
Lin Yu looked a little embarrassed. "I just went there a couple of days ago. Your family owns a restaurant. It's not good to always go there to freeload, is it? How about we eat out?"
Yu Xiyan pouted and said, "Look at you! You told me not to be cliché, but I think you're the cliché one! My mom said she really likes you and wants me to bring you home for dinner often!"
"Huh?" Lin Yu looked a little dazed.
"What 'huh'? Let's go!"
As Yu Xiyan spoke, she grabbed Lin Yu's arm without saying another word and dragged him away amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
"Xi Yan is so lucky to be friends with the Imperial Inspector!"
"What friend? That's clearly her girlfriend! Didn't you hear she's always going home for dinner? She's obviously already met the parents!"
"Shh! General Feng Jiu just instructed us not to leak the Imperial Inspector's information. Everyone, please be careful from now on!"
Everyone fell silent, while some female doctors and nurses could only watch with envy.
Both were physicians, but Xi Yan rose to prominence overnight, becoming the wife of an imperial inspector. There's just no comparison between people like that.
After Yu Xiyan and Lin Yu came out, they drove to their family restaurant.
On the way, Yu Xiyan asked Lin Yu to call Feng Qingwu and invite her to dinner.
The call went through, but Feng Qingwu made an excuse to decline, saying she had a fan meeting that afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, our fifth senior sister pouted, "You want me to be a third wheel? How could you be so clueless!"
However, she was still quite happy. As long as the two young people continued to develop as usual, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would soon be able to hold Lin Yu in her arms.
Of course, this is only under the premise of no unexpected events.
But there was an unexpected twist between Lin Yu and Yu Xiyan, and that unexpected twist was Zhao Lei.
That kid is really wicked; right now, he's in Yu Xiyan's family restaurant.
Today, he brought gifts to see Yu Xiyan's mother, Cai Fen, including expensive items like Moutai liquor and cigarettes. He was very attentive to Cai Fen, helping her pick vegetables and empty the trash can. He did all the physical labor.
Even so, Cai Fen didn't like him.
Although she had always had a good impression of the boy, ever since her husband told her about the bathhouse incident, she felt uneasy. Her impression of Zhao Lei plummeted.
Especially since she's a germaphobe, she can't stand men who aren't morally upright. How could such a filthy man be worthy of her pure and innocent daughter?
Don't even think about it!
"Auntie, let me help you!" Zhao Lei saw Cai Fen carrying a bucket of water and quickly came over to help.
"Oh, no need, no need!"
Cai Fen pushed him away.
However, Zhao Lei, being shameless, came over again, snatched the bucket from Cai Fen's hand, and poured the water into the vat.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll come often from now on. You can leave the physical work to me!" Zhao Lei said with a solicitous expression.
Although the previous incident had caused a great unpleasantness between him and Yu Guorong.
But he felt that the two families were old friends and a good match. In addition, his parents told him that Yu Guorong and his wife were soft-hearted and that he should try to show his best so that maybe they would change their minds.
But this time his parents were mistaken. Being soft-hearted depends on the situation. When it comes to their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Yu Guorong will never be soft-hearted!
"Zhao Lei, stop what you're doing. Auntie has a few words to say to you!" Cai Fen finally spoke, having no other choice.
Zhao Lei put down the bucket, walked over, and said with a grin, "Auntie, what do you need? Just tell me! I'm listening!"
Cai Fen sighed and said, "Zhao Lei, Auntie knows you and Xi Yan had a good relationship! But that was before. Now, Xi Yan has a boyfriend. I hope you can keep some distance from her. Auntie welcomes you to our house, but I hope you won't overthink other things!"
Cai Fen felt she had made herself clear enough. Her point was to make Zhao Lei give up.
Zhao Lei was not willing to accept this. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, this is not right! You haven't forgotten, have you? Our two families have a marriage agreement. I am Xiyan's fiancé!"
Cai Fen quickly shook her head, "That was a long time ago. It was just a joke between Xi Yan's dad and your dad when they were drunk. Don't take it seriously! Besides, in this day and age, there's no such thing as arranged marriage anymore. It's illegal! Moreover, Xi Yan has already found her own happiness. You two are childhood friends, so you should wish her well. Auntie has always thought you're a broad-minded person, right?"
