Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua hung up Liu Yumeng's call, feeling his head swell like a bucket.

What was fatal was that he could not figure out Liu Yumeng's intentions at all.

It was just treating her to a bowl of five-yuan wontons, yet she actually wanted to invite Wang Xiaohua to her home as a guest!

What was the purpose behind this?

Out of love?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The way one loves someone could not be like Liu Yumeng!

Wang Xiaohua thought to himself:

"How do I feel? In Liu Yumeng's eyes, I seem more like a plaything?"

Once this thought surfaced, Wang Xiaohua involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air!

And this thought would not go away!

The more he pondered it, the more he felt this thought was correct!

Tonight's meal, Liu Yumeng and her family definitely had other schemes!

It could not possibly be as simple as just eating a meal!

Then what was their purpose?

Wang Xiaohua could not figure it out for a while.

Since he could not figure it out, he would not think about it!

Anyway, going to the banquet tonight would naturally make everything clear!

Whatever winter melon and tofu they were cooking up!

Anyway, the general blocks the soldier, the water is blocked by earth!

In the blink of an eye it was six in the afternoon, and Wang Xiaohua returned from the countryside to the Town Government side.

Liu Yumeng had long ago packed her things and waited for a long time.

"You're finally back, hurry up and tidy up a bit, then we'll set off!"

Liu Yumeng showed Wang Xiaohua an enthusiastic smile.

Wang Xiaohua, on the other hand, had a flat expression:

"No need to tidy up, let's set off now."

Wang Xiaohua put the notebook into the drawer and said this sentence.

Liu Yumeng immediately looked surprised:

"You're going to my house dressed like that? Won't you clean up a bit!"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"It's just one meal, how much tidying up is needed?"

Liu Yumeng said instead:

"No, you'd lose face like that."

Wang Xiaohua said instead:

"Losing face is losing my face, anyway it's like this, I don't have new clothes, even if I change, I'd change into old ones, about the same as this."

Wang Xiaohua usually did not care much about dressing up, and there really were no new clothes in the dorm, all worn for a long time.

There was another reason: he had developed resistance toward Liu Yumeng, the more she told him what to do, the less he wanted to do it.

Liu Yumeng snorted coldly:

"I really don't know how you men think, a person relies on clothes and a horse relies on a saddle, don't you know?"

Wang Xiaohua ignored her lecture:

"If you think I'm embarrassing, then I won't go."

Liu Yumeng hurriedly said:

"Let's go, how could there be a reason not to go! Hurry up, take my car!"

Then she took Wang Xiaohua downstairs.

Arriving at the parking space inside the Town Government downstairs, Liu Yumeng pressed the car key, the lights of a BMW Mini flashed, then she opened the driver's door and got in.

Wang Xiaohua walked over and found this was a classic three-door four-seat Mini model.

So he pulled open the rear door and was about to get in.

Liu Yumeng said instead:

"Come to the passenger seat! The back seat is small, only suitable for children!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"With my build, I'm not much different from a child!"

Saying this, he was about to get in.

Liu Yumeng said instead:

"Afraid I'll eat you? Come to the passenger seat, keep me company talking!"

Wang Xiaohua could only go sit in the passenger seat.

Just as she sat down, Liu Yumeng couldn't help but say:

"Last time at the Commendation Conference for Brave Deeds, I asked you to change clothes and you weren't willing; I asked you to sit in my passenger seat and you weren't willing. This time I ask you to change clothes and sit in my passenger seat, and you're still not willing. How can you be so tactless?"

Xiao Hua didn't answer her question, but instead asked:

"I remember last time you drove a BMW X5, how come this time you switched to a BMW Mini?"

Liu Yumeng said very casually:

"I got tired of driving that X5, so I switched to another one! I still feel this BMW Mini suits my image and temperament better. Plus, driving this car in the County Town, the head-turning rate is really high."

Xiao Hua gave a dry laugh:

"Your family really has money."

Liu Yumeng said coldly:

"Don't be sarcastic. My family's money is all legal income! If you have the ability, you can also switch between luxury cars to drive!"

Xiao Hua didn't argue, just suddenly thought of some past events.

"My wife's family used to have luxury cars too. Her dad drove one, her mom drove one. Later..."

"What happened later?" Liu Yumeng was stunned.

"Later her dad went in, her mom fled abroad, and later she committed suicide by jumping from a building."

"Oh..." A strange look appeared on Liu Yumeng's face. "Embarrassed, made you think of sad things... So your wife has already passed away. No wonder no matter what I said, your file clearly says married, yet I've never seen your wife!"

Xiao Hua revealed a complex smile:

"Her dad used to say it was money earned through his ability too."

Liu Yumeng fell silent.

Xiao Hua didn't speak either, just looked out the car window.

After a long while, Liu Yumeng finally spoke:

"Must be her dad picked the wrong side!"

"What?" Xiao Hua was stunned, didn't react for a moment.

Liu Yumeng said:

"I said your wife's dad picked the wrong side. If he hadn't picked the wrong side, he wouldn't have been targeted. If he hadn't been targeted, trouble would be impossible. Especially in our kind of small County Town, everyone's interests are bound together, relationships are intricate. Even if someone from above comes to investigate, it's hard to find anything."

Xiao Hua was stunned, completely unexpected that Liu Yumeng would think like this.

She didn't attribute the reason for Xiao Hua's father-in-law being investigated to corruption, but instead attributed it to picking the wrong side.

But thinking carefully, the real situation might really be just like this.

Because in reality, especially inside this big dye vat, no one pursues right or wrong at all; what they care about more is interests.

At this time Liu Yumeng spoke again:

"If you want to avenge your wife's family, you should go find the person who targeted your wife's dad, and then repay him in his own coin! Not sit here wallowing in self-pity! As for you, because of your father-in-law's matter, letting yourself shrink back, doing nothing, not daring to do anything — that's truly childish behavior, very immature!"

Liu Yumeng's words made Xiao Hua's heart go 'clunk'.

From this speech of hers, one can see she is an extremely clever woman.

Not only clever, but she sees the situation extremely clearly.

Yet such a clever woman always does things that are hard to understand.

The only explanation is that she does it on purpose.

"Where there are people there are interests, where there are interests there is struggle, where there is struggle naturally some fall and some rise."

Liu Yumeng spoke again, and she also said:

"Xiao Hua, do you really think you can keep yourself untainted? Do you believe it or not, just because you are Li Zhongxian's son-in-law, even if you don't want revenge, others won't easily let you leave Shangang Town and move up! Who knows, you might only be a Section Officer your whole life. Don't think just because you became Temporary Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office so fast, you're already secure."

A trace of surprise appeared on Xiao Hua's face:

"So, this is the purpose of you all inviting me to eat?"
