Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Kneel down properly. Just because you're out doesn't mean you're exempt from punishment!"

"Kneel down properly, understand?"

"You dare do that again? If you mess with your teammate again, believe me, I'll kill you!"

At Zhong Xiaoai's home.

Hou Liangping knelt on the washboard in the living room, and in front of him was Zhong Xiaoai holding a bamboo flute.

"It's moving, still moving?!"

*Smack!*

Hou Liangping's body trembled slightly, and Zhong Xiaoai raised her bamboo flute without hesitation and slapped it hard across Hou Liangping's face.

"Wife, wife, please don't hit me! Look at my nose! My nose is crooked, the bones are broken, and the tissue is necrotic. The doctor said I'll have to live with this crooked nose for the rest of my life!"

I've had it bad enough, I was in a car accident!

"Can you please stop hitting me? I admit I acted impulsively, but wasn't I trying to do something good, to hold my head high in front of your father?"

Hou Liangping was hurt, but he didn't dare to bite his master.

He could only desperately try to explain his actions.

Hopefully, Zhong Xiaoai can be lenient and let him off the hook, at least not make him kneel on the washboard, and maybe even whip him with a bamboo flute.

His face already bore many marks, and his back was even more gruesome, with the skin torn and bleeding.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's face turned extremely pale. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Hou Liangping with fiery eyes.

"Otherwise, how can you face my parents? How can you face my Zhong family?"

How could you possibly do this to the Zhong family?

Zhong Xiaoai's words struck Hou Liangping's heart like icicles in March.

Hou Liangping felt fear and pain, but dared not refute it.

Unable to refute, like a puppet, he drooped his head, resigned to his fate!

"How dare you cry and shout in front of me!"

I begged for a revival countless times so that you could get this suspension and reflection result.

Because of what happened to you, so many people at work have been talking about me behind my back!

Do you know anything? You know nothing at all, and because of your actions, even my father lost his position as the first deputy secretary!

You're just a good-for-nothing who knows nothing, yet you want to be the Monkey King? I think you're just a bastard who's asking for death!

Zhong Xiaoai grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes. But her hands didn't stop; she kept tapping Hou Liangping's body with her bamboo flute.

"How dare you come back? You're a piece of trash, how could you be so useless!"

Why play cat and mouse? Don't you know how risky this operation is?

Now, because of this, others have been able to use it against us.

"Our Chung family is going to regress twenty years because of you, do you know that?"

As Zhong Xiaoai cursed and cried, she collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

I don't want to watch Hou Liangping anymore.

The man in front of her was utterly utterly despairing to her.

The first thing he did upon returning was to cry and shout that he wanted to work in Handong Province.

It is said that an investigation has revealed that Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City in Handong Province, was guilty of embezzlement and bribery.

He showed absolutely no concern for the loss of face and the damage he caused to the Zhong family, and even less concern for his wife.

It was as if her emotions as a wife didn't need any care at all.

She is a strong woman, just like Zhong Xiaoai.

But that doesn't mean he's a wooden person who doesn't need to be cared for.

When you're angry, you need to vent; when you feel wronged, you need comfort.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Hou Liangping, who could only lower his head and indicate that he was wrong.

My heart is growing colder and colder.

Choosing this one will not provide any emotional value.

Is it right or wrong to be someone who can't comfort others?

One pretty boy is sometimes just not enough!

After a long silence, Hou Liangping slowly spoke, looking at Zhong Xiaoai with a firm gaze: "Xiaoai, I was wrong, don't be angry. This time, if you let me go to Handong Province, I will definitely investigate this Deputy Mayor of Jingzhou City named Ding Yizhen thoroughly."

I will definitely make you hold your head high in the Zhong family, and I will never let your father look down on me again.

I will prove that I, Hou Liangping, didn't get to where I am today because of your Zhong family. I will make you hold your head high at work!

Zhong Xiaoai laughed after hearing this, not a happy laugh, but a relieved laugh.

Perhaps he shouldn't have chosen Hou Liangping in the first place; their personalities clashed.

At this point, the perspective on the matter is completely different.

How can you guarantee anything? In Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, everything she says is just empty promises.

"You mean you want to leave my Zhong family? If so, I promise you, we'll get a divorce right now."

"From now on, you don't need to rely on the Zhong family's background anymore. Otherwise, no matter how far you go or how well you do, people will always think you're relying on the Zhong family!"

Zhong Xiaoai spoke calmly, but the meaning behind her words was exceptionally resolute.

She had actually made up her mind to divorce Hou Liangping, and all she needed was Hou Liangping's nod, and she would agree!

But would Hou Liangping agree to this?

He will never agree to that no matter what!

Hou Liangping fell into a silent silence.

This matter is his sore spot, his Achilles' heel, and he will absolutely not agree to it. If anyone were to suggest that he divorce Zhong Xiaoai, he would instantly explode.

Others may not know, but surely he himself knows?

I've gotten to where I am today.

It's all thanks to Zhong Xiaoai!

He may have said those high-sounding words to others, but how could he not know the truth himself?

"Xiao Ai, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. This is not something to joke about!" Hou Liangping crawled on the ground to Zhong Xiao Ai's side, his face full of flattery.

Zhong Xiaoai did not speak, but slowly stood up.

"Xiao Ai, please, give me another chance, Xiao Ai!!" Hou Liangping hurriedly hugged her legs and pleaded.

The smile on his face looked worse than a grimace.

His face showed a pleading expression.

"Let go. I'm giving you one last chance!"

Zhong Xiaoai said coldly, and then walked into her room alone.

She certainly couldn't just give up on Hou Liangping all at once.

But the disappointment was genuine.

She needs to go back to her room to calm down and think things through.

It's easy to say "divorce" and it's also very satisfying.

However, it is quite difficult to actually do it. One reason is the impact on one's work; if one gets divorced, it will be very difficult for one's work to go smoothly.

If I want to make progress, I need to find someone else to marry.

It would be better to let Hou Liangping maintain the marital relationship.

At least it won't be too much trouble.

Zhong Xiaoai thought for a long time after returning to her room.

Then he called his father, Zhong Zhengguo.

He shared his complicated feelings with Zhong Zhengguo.

And the case concerning Ding Yizhen of Handong Province, which Hou Liangping mentioned.

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Zhengguo first calmed his daughter, Zhong Xiaoai, down before speaking seriously:

"Since you've completely lost faith in Hou Liangping, then send him to Handong Province. At least that will keep him away from you!"

This was exactly what he wanted; he happened to have a case, so they let him go and take the plunge!

"I will listen to my father!"
