Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Hearing the three characters "Xiao Xueqing," Wang Xiaohua's inner heart trembled slightly.

In that instant, he thought of many things.

Why did Liu Xinwen want to tell him this matter?

Are Liu Xinwen's words true or false?

If true, for what purpose?

If false, then for what purpose?

"I know you might not believe it, and might even think I'm splashing dirty water on Xiao Xueqing."

Before Wang Xiaohua could open his mouth to speak, Liu Xinwen said another sentence.

His expression was very calm, as if everything was grasped in the palm of his hand.

He also said:

"If you don't believe it, you can inquire from multiple sides. In the County Town officialdom circle, this matter doesn't count as any secret. You can even go directly ask Xiao Xueqing. If you go ask her, she will definitely think you are going to ask with the answer already in hand, so there's a very high probability she won't lie to you."

Wang Xiaohua's brows furrowed slightly. What he didn't expect was that Liu Xinwen actually suggested he take the initiative to ask Xiao Xueqing.

Could it be that what Liu Xinwen said is the truth?

Liu Xinwen said again:

"However, I must remind you. Xiao Xueqing putting your father-in-law into Prison is an undisputed fact. As for the reason, she might quibble in various ways, and might even say some half-true half-false words to confuse your judgment. You must have your own judgment."

Wang Xiaohua nodded. At this time, he finally opened his mouth:

"Alright. Turning back, when I have time, I'll go ask her."

Seeing Wang Xiaohua's expression become incomparably heavy, Liu Xinwen knew that this time inviting Wang Xiaohua to eat a meal was not in vain!

At this time, Liu Xinwen's wife brought the rice and dishes to the table.

Liu Xinwen hurriedly smiled and greeted:

"Let's not talk about those things that may or may not be. Let's prepare to eat!"

Liu Yumeng also smiled and said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Wang Xiaohua, do you know? My mom rarely personally cooks. This time you came to our Home, she specially prepared food ingredients for half a day, and even made her signature Braised Fish! And Old Hen Stewed Soup!"

Wang Xiaohua politely smiled:

"You guys are too passionate, making me a bit embarrassed. Thank you for your warm hospitality, thank you!"

The smile on his face was obviously somewhat unnatural.

This meal, it must be said, Liu Yumeng's mother's culinary skill is really not bad. It's just a pity Wang Xiaohua completely had no appetite.

His mind kept thinking about his father-in-law's matter. Although reason told him that before obtaining conclusive truth, he shouldn't engage in wild thoughts.

But his mind just couldn't control it, especially when Li Jianjia's face floated through his mind!

If his father-in-law hadn't been arrested and put in, Li Jianjia's Home wouldn't have scattered, and his father-in-law wouldn't have died of a heart attack.

And with the Home not scattered, father-in-law not dead, Li Jianjia wouldn't have become depressed, and even more wouldn't have committed suicide.

And he, Wang Xiaohua, wouldn't have painfully lost his beloved.

In a blink, it arrived at evening nine PM.

The meal was finished eating, the wine was also drunk about the same.

Liu Xinwen enthusiastically urged Wang Xiaohua to stay overnight, and also said his Villa has many empty rooms, the kind that can't all be lived in even if you tried.

Although Wang Xiaohua was already drunk to the head, he still declined Liu Xinwen's kindness, saying he had to go back to his Second Brother's place to stay.

Because he knew, if he stayed a night at Liu Xinwen's Home, and this got spread, then he would very likely be classified as being in the same queue as Liu Xinwen.

So he can come to Liu Xinwen's Home to eat a meal, but absolutely cannot come to stay overnight.

Liu Xinwen politely urged a few sentences, then didn't force it anymore.

Just had Liu Yumeng help call a car, then had Liu Yumeng send Wang Xiaohua out to sit in the car.

Liu Yumeng returned Home, and asked her dad:

"Dad, why didn't you keep Wang Xiaohua? If he stayed overnight at our Home, then no matter how it's explained to the outside, others would all think he's our side's person."

Liu Xinwen instead smiled and said:

"Not urgent. You being this anxious, won't accomplish things. We have to give Wang Xiaohua some space. Besides, tonight he might very well borrow the drunkenness to directly go question Xiao Xueqing. And if he goes to question Xiao Xueqing in this state of losing reason, then the relationship between him and Xiao Xueqing will absolutely develop cracks."

Liu Yumeng suddenly realized:

"I understand. Only when cracks appear in Wang Xiaohua and Xiao Xueqing's relationship, can we achieve twice the result with half the effort when operating the next step!"

Liu Xinwen slowly nodded:

"Correct. This is the result I want."

In the Taxi, Wang Xiaohua held his Mobile Phone in hand, and had already found Xiao Xueqing's contact number.

Countless scenes crazily surged out in his mind.

All the past, the happy, the joyful, the sad, the painful, all rushed at his nerves like a Flood.

The more he thought, the harder to control his emotions.

The harder to control his emotions, the more he wanted to hurry and go ask Xiao Xueqing clearly.

Only his inner heart's reason firmly pressed down his impulsiveness.

He continuously admonished himself: cannot make decisions when impulsive.

Otherwise he would very likely end up becoming someone else's pawn.

So in the end he still put his mobile phone away, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath:

"Driver, to Central Garden."

The taxi driver replied with one sentence:

"Sure."

Then he didn't go to Wang Erhai's residential complex, but turned instead toward the house of Li Jianjia's family from when she was alive.

Wang Xiaohua entered the living room that he had converted into a mourning hall.

He sat before the mourning hall, looking at Li Jianjia's portrait, staring blankly like a block of wood.

Who knows how long passed — maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, maybe even longer.

Without realizing it, Wang Xiaohua fell asleep lying on Li Jianjia's portrait.

This sleep lasted until early morning the next day.

Then he took the first township bus back to town and went to work as usual.

As if what happened last night had never occurred.

He didn't go ask Xiao Xueqing.

Not even sending a text message to ask.

Because now is not the time yet.

If he goes to ask Xiao Xueqing now, he'll be completely led by the nose by Liu Xinwen.

No matter what, he must wait until his emotions pass and he's calm enough before he'll go handle this matter.

Returning to the town dormitory, Wang Xiaohua took a shower and changed his clothes.

Only then did he go to the office.

Arriving at the office, he discovered Liu Yumeng had actually come earlier than usual today.

At least half an hour earlier.

It was very obvious — this woman was already impatient to see the results of the scheme she and her dad had jointly operated.

Sure enough, Wang Xiaohua had just entered when she enthusiastically smiled and greeted him:

"Wang Xiaohua, morning!"

Wang Xiaohua expressionless:

"Mm, morning."

Liu Yumeng then smiled and asked:

"Last night, were you okay? I told my dad not to make you drink that much, but he just wouldn't listen. Sigh, this drinking culture in our society is truly dregs!"

Wang Xiaohua still expressionless:

"I'm fine, thanks for your concern. In a bit I'm going down to the countryside to visit poor households. There are quite a few documents here — you process them in the office."

Liu Yumeng hurriedly said:

"I want to go down to the countryside with you too — let's process these documents when we get back!"

But Wang Xiaohua said with a firm attitude:

"You process the documents first. The higher-up leaders need them this afternoon. This isn't negotiable. That's final!"

Liu Yumeng pretended to sigh:

"Fine, fine. Who made you the director? I'm just a low-level grassroots worker!"

But actually, the more unhappy Wang Xiaohua was, the happier she felt inside.

Because Wang Xiaohua's unhappiness meant he had very likely already taken action last night.

Yet she never imagined that those emotions were all deliberately displayed by Wang Xiaohua for her to see.

Wang Xiaohua had already gradually adapted to her rhythm and had begun to be able to counter her moves in silence.
