Chapter 1027: But She Won't Take the Bait, So I Have No Choice

As Liu Chuxue had predicted, the moment Liu Jiandong returned home, Ge Xiulan rushed over: "How did it go? Did it work?"

Liu Jiandong's face darkened: "That damned girl wasn't even tempted."

"What? She wouldn't even take a look at the little yellow fish?"

"I had planned to have her help find the Ding family and then get the little yellow fish back, but that little bitch didn't fall for it. Finding another chance will be hard now."

"But she won't take the bait, so I have no choice."

"Since the scheme failed, we can only have her help find Ding Surong."

"Did you think I hadn't considered that? But that damned girl won't yield to soft or hard tactics, and in my anger just now, I even made some harsh threats."

Ge Xiulan, furious at his incompetence, said: "The task isn't done yet, and your brain has gone to the dogs. What kind of harsh threats did you make?"

After scolding him, she suddenly thought of something: "Go beg the Party Secretary."

"What?"

"I said go beg the Party Secretary."

"Mom, what do you mean? You know perfectly well the Party Secretary's family gets along well with that damned girl's family, yet you want me to beg him?"

"What do you know? Precisely because the two families have a good relationship, if we can persuade the Party Secretary to speak on our behalf, I don't believe that girl won't help."

"The Party Secretary already looks down on us; how could he possibly help me?"

"It depends on human effort."

Ge Xiulan glanced outside: "Son, right now, if we want to find Ding Surong, this is our only path. Originally, we could have begged the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, but that woman is currently undergoing re-education in Daxibei. Even her own father doesn't know her address. For us, distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst. Right now, we can only turn to that damned girl."

"But the Party Secretary... Ah, forget it. Let's treat a dead horse as if it were alive. Have you already thought of a plan?"

"The old Party Secretary is stubborn and sticks to his principles. We absolutely cannot play tricks on him. We should just speak the truth. Finding the person is true, but our real purpose naturally cannot be revealed. Just say we don't want to waste time like this; whether we stay together or divorce, there must be an explanation."

Liu Jiandong thought for a moment; considering the old Party Secretary's character, this plan was indeed worth a try.

As they hoped, seeing the mother and son speak so sincerely, the old Party Secretary did not refuse outright. He only looked at Liu Jiandong with a look of frustration: "Since you got married, have you ever accompanied your wife back to her maiden home?"

Liu Jiandong's face turned very ugly: "It's not that I didn't want to accompany her back to her maiden home; she always found one excuse or another, so we never went."

Hearing Liu Jiandong say this, a complex expression flashed across the old Party Secretary's face: "Alright, I can help you mediate a few words, but I cannot guarantee whether it will succeed."

Ge Xiulan wore a sycophantic expression: "Thank you, thank you. We are already deeply grateful that you are willing to help us. Besides, I believe that as long as you are willing to help us, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. Others might not give you face, but Chuxue cannot refuse your face."

Seeing the old Party Secretary agree, Ge Xiulan said anxiously: "Then let's go right now."

The old Party Secretary did not move: "Don't you know what day it is today?"

Ge Xiulan then remembered the reason the Xiao father and daughter had returned to the village: "But if we don't go now, where will we see her when we get back?"

The old Party Secretary had heard from his own son last night that the Xiao family was going to pay respects to Chuxue's paternal grandmother today, but naturally, he would not reveal this: "I said I would help you, and I will not break my word. You two go back first."

Liu Jiandong wanted to say something more, but Ge Xiulan stopped him.

As soon as the mother and son left the old Party Secretary's house, Liu Jiandong said impatiently: "Mom, why did you stop me just now?"

Ge Xiulan looked back: "I know the old Party Secretary's character well. Since he agreed, he will definitely keep it in mind. I was just afraid that in your haste, you would say something unpleasant. If you offend him then, you truly won't find anyone to help you."
