In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

When Zhong Jianjun received the call from his superiors, he was terrified. To be honest, he really wanted the police station to come and shoot him. He had said no, and that was no. Why, why did they have to go to Wuhan to cause trouble!

Are his father-in-law and mother-in-law out of their minds? They're even using his second uncle's name to do things? His second uncle just asked him what was going on.

Zhong Zhengguo really wanted to punch his niece-in-law's family to death. Committee Member Chen had just called him. If it weren't for his many years in Beijing and the connections he had, and the fact that Committee Member Chen was quite familiar with him and willing to listen to his explanation, he might have been demoted today if he weren't a Level 2 official and instead a ministerial-level official!

Zhong Zhengguo now understands why Zhang Dongxin made that confusing phone call to him yesterday. He thought Zhang was trying to bail him out and was questioning him!

It's only because Zhang Dongxin isn't as popular as he used to be that he's playing dumb with me now, resorting to sarcastic remarks. Otherwise, he would have already started cursing me out loud!

Don't think Zhang Dongxin wouldn't dare. He'll throw a tantrum when he's in the wrong, but now that he's in the right, he'll definitely be unforgiving. Luckily, he's matured a lot, and he also consulted with Zhao Zhongxin beforehand, who also offered some advice. Otherwise, they would be facing off in court in Beijing today!

So Zhong Zhengguo was very upset. He gave Zhong Jianjun a thorough dressing-down, and his message was very clear: you better get a divorce from this damned woman right now!

But Zhong Jianjun wasn't happy. Although he was a womanizer, he had a good relationship with his wife! He bargained with his second uncle, and in the end, Liu Meien's parents were sacrificed. Well, it wasn't really a sacrifice, since they had brought this on themselves!

Liu Meien still wanted to cause trouble, so Zhong Jianjun directly released a recording of his second uncle's phone call. The meaning was very clear: either you stay by my side and I will treat you the same as before, and your family will take the blame; or you and your family get out of my sight!

Upon hearing this, Liu Meien dared not utter a word. Now she knew that her husband's second uncle was truly enraged! She could only meekly agree.

Thank goodness it's the pandemic, otherwise Liu's father might be under arrest right now! Someone has to take responsibility for this! If Liu's father doesn't take responsibility, who will?

However, even though the notification had been given, Liu Meien's mother still made a fuss, saying she would sue in Beijing! She wanted to get an explanation from Zhong Zhengguo, but the investigators ignored them and gave her a cold look!

Then Liu's mother called Liu Meien, and Liu Meien stammered and didn't dare to speak. When her mother asked why, Liu Meien told her!

"My husband's second uncle wants Jianjun to divorce me. If this continues, I might not even be considered a daughter-in-law of the Zhong family anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother immediately launched into a tirade, hurling insults at everyone. She was practically ready to build a grave for Zhong Zhengguo and Zhong Jianjun!

Liu Meien was helpless. If Zhong Jianjun abandoned her, she would have nowhere to go! However, she didn't think she was wrong. She just felt like she was going to die, and she was scared and dared not speak! In her heart, she cursed Zhong Zhengguo to the bone!

Because the city was locked down ahead of schedule this time, the spread of the epidemic was not as outrageous as it originally was, which also gave the scientists enough time!

The original lockdown lasted 76 days, but this time it only lasted 58 days, and travel codes and health codes have been launched!

Although there are occasional city lockdowns across the country, the death rate has decreased! Then scientists and biologists developed a vaccine! The epidemic has been largely brought under control; although people can still get infected, at least no one will die!

When Zhao Zhongxin finally met Zhang Dongxin again at the end of 20, during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Dongxin was only 51 years old. His playful and carefree expression was gone, and his temples had turned a little white, making him look like he was 61 years old!

His eyes held a calm and composed demeanor, tinged with a hint of sadness.

"This is?"

Zhao Zhongxin looked at Zhang Dongxin holding a little girl's hand and asked, "..."

"This is my daughter! Xiao Bao! Zhang Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao. Her name is Bye-bye!"

Zhang Dongxin's eyes were full of affection as he looked at the little girl. Zhao Miao had never seen such an expression in Zhang Dongxin's eyes before. He used to be the kind of person who thought he was above everyone else and would challenge anyone who dared to challenge him! It seems that this trip to Wuhan has helped Zhang Dongxin mature a lot!

"Oh, you're Zhang Xiaobao! Haha! Bye-bye, here's a cigarette for you, ptooey, ptooey, bye-bye, here's some candy for you!"

Zhao Zhongxin squatted down and looked at Zhang Xiaobao in the news report. He almost let slip that Zhang Dongxin frowned as he listened.

Zhang Xiaobao's last remaining relatives, her maternal grandparents, also passed away during the pandemic, leaving her an orphan! Unexpectedly, Zhang Dongxin adopted her!

The reason Zhang Dongxin adopted her was that he had truly taken on the role of a father. Zhao Zhongxin never expected that his old friend, Zhang Dongxin, one of the two tyrants of Dongcheng District, would be so tender-hearted now!

The playboy Zhang Dongxin has completely shed that reputation this time. Everyone in Beijing knows what he did in Wuhan, and he has already secured his ticket to the finals!

As I said before, being a spoiled brat doesn't mean you're incapable, and his ruthless past doesn't mean he's incapable of being tender!

You can be bad, but you can't be incompetent!

Zhang Likai also adopted this granddaughter, holding a banquet to formally acknowledge her. Not long after the adoption, suitors began to come!

All sorts of old friends and former subordinates have come, but Zhang Xiaobao is only 5 years old! However, legally, Zhang Xiaobao is already Zhang Dongxin's daughter and Zhang Likai's granddaughter! She can be considered the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family! Who wouldn't want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family!

Zhao Zhongxin's twins had been betrothed to several people since birth, but Zhao Mengsheng refused. He felt there was no need for a marriage alliance, as his granddaughters and grandsons would be marrying into lower social classes no matter who they married. In that case, it would be better for the two children to find good partners in the future.

As for Zhao Miao and Zhang Cheng, Zhao Mengsheng and Zhang Likai felt that this was their duty as the eldest son and grandson. They had married into the family, so what else was there to say? It was all for the honor of the family! If you didn't marry into the family, who would?

Although the eldest grandson received their boundless love, and even in Zhang Likai's eyes, Zhang Cheng was greater than his own son Zhang Dongxin, this marriage was not something he could decide for himself! He had to follow their arrangements!

There's no need for other grandchildren. They can enjoy a good life under the protection of their father and eldest brother in the future!

Therefore, Zhang Likai directly dissuaded the marriage proposal. First, Zhang Xiaobao had suffered many hardships and was an orphan. Since his family had taken her in, she was their legitimate daughter, and it was impossible to use her for a marriage alliance.

Secondly, Zhang Likai also saw Zhang Dongxin's love for the child! He didn't need to let his son argue with him!
