Zheng Ru smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? If I weren't affected by Hong Tao, I would probably work here until I retire."
Xu Lang said: "Secretary Zheng, you are husband and wife. Hong Tao broke the law. It is impossible for you not to be affected. Just because you are here now, doesn't it mean everything?"
"Alas!" Zheng Ru sighed, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's my bad fate, I don't blame him."
Xu Lang looked at the poor woman in front of him, and his heart softened again. After weighing it, he said: "If you want to get out of the current predicament, the only way is to leave him."
Zheng Ru was startled, looked at Xu Lang and asked, "I'm afraid it's too late now, right?"
"It's not too late." Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "After you leave him, you will no longer be disturbed by him. Only then can you survive the current crisis safely."
Zheng Ru nodded: "Okay, I will consider it carefully."
Xu Lang saw that he had nothing to say, so he stood up and planned to leave.
As soon as Zheng Ru saw that he was leaving, she asked, "Are you going back?"
Xu Lang smiled and said: "If you had believed in Miss Shi before, I wouldn't have had to make this trip today. Now I will return the card to you with my own hands. My mission is completed."
Zheng Ru suddenly felt even more disappointed and blurted out: "Can't you just have dinner with me before leaving?"
"Okay, let's go after dinner."
Xu Lang had no choice but to sit down again and said sincerely: "Secretary Zheng, I am very grateful that you did not tell me in front of the Discipline Inspection Commission that you gave me a bank card."
Zheng Ru smiled, and Xu Lang added: "Actually... you are quite competent as the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. The main reason is that your husband has been involved. He gave gifts to others without telling you. Now that you have been delegated, It’s indeed unfair.”
"Thank you." Zheng Ru was a little excited: "You can see clearly, others say I am a corrupt official."
Xu Lang said: "I am also seeking truth from facts. Maybe you don't know that Hong Tao's biggest problem is that he colludes with Han Tianming. If he is caught this time, he will definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, I advise you to seize the time and cut him off." , sooner rather than later.”
"Okay." Zheng Ru said, "I will take leave on Monday and go back to find him."
Xu Lang said: "Well, he is arrested now. If you bring up divorce, he has nothing to say."
Zheng Ru sighed again, and then said, "I'll call and order food right now. How about we eat here?"
"Okay." Xu Lang smiled and said, "It's very hot outside, and I don't want to go out."
After making the call, Zheng Ru sat back on the sofa and handed the bank card over again: "Xu Lang, I'm going to file for divorce. This involves the division of family property. You can keep this card for me for a while, okay? "
Xu Lang smiled and didn't answer: "Why do you want me to keep it for you? Wouldn't your parents, sisters, etc. be more suitable?"
"No." Zheng Ru was very determined. She put the card into Xu Lang's hand and said, "I can't trust anyone else. I only trust you."
Xu Lang was helpless, and Zheng Ru continued: "I know my family best. You don't know the inside story. As long as large amounts of money are involved, family members are the most unreliable, especially a married daughter like me."
"That's right, then I really have no say."
Indeed, because he has no family and only one master, he cannot understand how other people's relatives get along with each other.
While eating, Zheng Ru hesitated and asked, "Xu Lang, can you go back tomorrow?"
Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had some association.
"Do you have anything else?"
Zheng Ru was a little embarrassed: "I...I have a dinner party tonight, and I would like to invite you to go with me. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Oh?" Xu Lang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: "Is someone trying to trick you?"
Zheng Ru blushed and nodded, and Xu Lang asked, "Who is this person?"
Zheng Ru whispered: "County Magistrate Li Youzhi."
"County magistrate?" Xu Lang was surprised but also puzzled: "He is a government county magistrate, why should he, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, accompany him to dinner?"
Zheng Ru said: "Although this person is only the county magistrate, he has been working hard in Liuchuan for more than 20 years. From the county committee and county government to the township leaders below, most of them are his people.
"The county party committee secretary has long been ignored by him. This person believes in both black and white. If he stamps his foot, the borders of Liuchuan will tremble."
"Oh!" Xu Lang suddenly realized: "So, this Li Youzhi is still the local bully of Liuchuan."
Zheng Ru said: "You can say that."
Xu Lang took a sip of red wine, thought for a while and said, "So, you are in danger here."
Zheng Ru smiled bitterly, and then said: "These situations were told to me by Tan Yiqi, secretary of the county party committee. I tried to investigate quietly, but maybe Li Youzhi noticed it, so..."
Xu Lang nodded: "Yes, Hongmen Banquet!"
"Yes." Zheng Ru looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Do you still dare to accompany me to the banquet?"
Xu Lang wanted to make a joke and said, "You are trying to drag me into trouble. I have to think about it."
Zheng Ru didn't know what was going on and thought Xu Lang was scared. She felt quite disappointed and said with a forced smile: "I understand, this is indeed not a good thing. Our relationship is far from the point where we need to hurt our friends."
Xu Lang smiled and said, "Why, are you disappointed?"
"No." Zheng Ru said hurriedly: "My request is a bit excessive. I really understand that you don't help, and I don't blame you."
"Hahaha." Xu Lang laughed and said, "I was just joking with you to see how uncomfortable you are, hahaha."
"You!" Zheng Ru was overjoyed, and she suddenly became coquettish like a little woman: "You bad guy, you deliberately scared me, you are so annoying."
Xu Lang said with a smile: "If it were a normal dinner, I wouldn't be interested, but after hearing what you said, I have to go!"
"Bad guy." Zheng Ru picked up the wine glass and said, "Xu Lang, thank you, I'll toast you."
Xu Lang clinked the glasses with her, and Zheng Ru raised her neck and drank half the glass of red wine!
Xu Lang said: "Why are you drinking in such a hurry? It's easy to get drunk."
Zheng Ru blushed and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you agreed to accompany me. I want another drink."
Xu Lang picked up the bottle and poured wine for her. This time he only poured half a glass, but Zheng Ruzhen drank it all in one go.
"You can't drink anymore." Xu Lang put the bottle at his feet, and Zheng Ru said, "Okay, I won't drink anymore. You call the waiter to clear the tableware, and I'll take a shower."
"Okay." Xu Lang walked to the bed and picked up the phone.
When Zheng Ru stood up, she swayed a bit and then walked to the bathroom.
But just as he reached the bed, he stumbled, could no longer stand still, and fell to the ground!
Xu Lang had quick eyesight and hugged her: "Hey, you're not really drunk, are you?"
Zheng Ru struggled to stand up and said with a smile: "I was just walking in a hurry, I'm not drunk."
