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

"Hey, what is it now? I don't want to argue with you! Why are you calling so many times!"

Li Kangjian was sitting in Zhao Zhongxin's car. He had already hung up on Zhong Xiaoai's calls several times. This woman was relentless and kept calling. Li Kangjian was getting a little angry and his attitude wasn't very good!

"Li Kangjian, you bastard! Where have you been fooling around with women? You even sent me the 4988 yuan spending information! You bastard, I'm going to tell your mother, after more than twenty years with you, this is how you treat me!"

Zhong Xiaoai's attitude was even worse than Li Kangjian's. She cried and made a scene. Even though the speakerphone wasn't on, Zhao Zhongxin, who was standing next to her, could hear her roar. Li Kangjian quickly said something!

"No, no, this wasn't my money, it was! Um, I, that!"

Li Kangjian couldn't directly say that the card was opened for Gao Yuliang. Zhao Zhongxin was speechless when he heard this. "Brother, you're still too young. How can you bind your own card to your wife's phone?"

"Listen to what you're saying! You're spouting nonsense! I can't live with you anymore, you bastard, you scumbag!"

Seeing that Li Kangjian's family was about to fall apart, Zhao Zhongxin took Li Kangjian's phone!

"Um, sister-in-law, I'm Zhao Zhongxin!"

As soon as Zhao Zhongxin said this, Zhong Xiaoai's crying on the other end of the phone stopped instantly! She stammered out a sentence!

"Zhao, Senior Zhao!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I paid for everything. My phone died today, so I asked Kang to pay for it. I still have the receipt! Please keep this a secret!"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhongxin's words, Li Kangjian looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a father! Liu Kun also looked at him with the same expression, as if to say, "Hey buddy, are you going to take the blame for this too? This whole Silverwing thing is so Silverwing-esque!"

Li Kangjian thought to himself, "As expected of the eldest brother, he's never seen the eldest brother take the blame for the younger brother in all these years! It's always the younger brother taking the blame for the eldest brother. I really want to cry!"

"I...I understand. I'm sorry, Senior Zhao! Don't worry, I don't have your wife's contact information, and I won't tell anyone!"

Zhong Xiaoai didn't dare to verify whether Zhao Zhongxin was telling the truth or not. She just wanted to hang up the phone. Zhao Zhongxin's pressure was too strong!

"It's alright, it's alright! Goodbye then!"

Zhao Zhongxin hung up the phone and sighed. He couldn't just watch his younger brother fight over a misunderstanding, especially since it was Gao Yuliang's fault! Anyway, he already had no good reputation with Zhong Xiaoai, so it didn't matter! Zhong Xiaoai would believe anything he said about Zhao Zhongxin bringing the Eight-Nation Alliance into Beijing! Because in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, Zhao Zhongxin was the worst person!

I burned down the Old Summer Palace, I bombed Pearl Harbor, I started World War II, I instigated Hitler, I ordered Bin Laden to commit war, and I even caused the extinction of dinosaurs!

"If you do not reject me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

Li Kangjian really wants to acknowledge his father; he's so damn righteous!

"Get lost!"

Zhao Zhongxin said something rather irritatingly!

"No, senior, I'm so touched by what you're doing!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoai was genuinely agitated. Regardless of whether Zhao Zhongxin or Li Kangjian had paid for it, she now felt that Li Kangjian absolutely could not be allowed to stay next to Zhao Zhongxin.

If he stayed any longer, Li Kangjian wouldn't be a person anymore; he'd turn into a savage! So Zhong Xiaoai made a phone call to her father, Zhong Zhengguo, hoping he could persuade Li Kangjian to come back!

But after hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo remained silent for a long time before speaking!

"Xiao Ai! Kang has a bright future with Zhao Zhongxin by his side! I arranged for your cousin to go to the same school as him before, hoping to build a good relationship, but I didn't expect your cousin and Zhao Zhongxin to be such fierce rivals. Isn't this an opportunity?"

Zhong Zhengguo's words made sense, even a lot of sense. He could never make it into the top five of the second tier in his lifetime, no matter how hard he tried. Now his son-in-law was working under Zhao Zhongxin, how great was that? Zhao Zhongxin's minimum standard was him, but his maximum standard was hard to say! The next generation of the Zhong family wasn't very promising either. If Li Kangjian could succeed, his father-in-law's family wouldn't be treated badly in the future!

"No, Dad, what I meant was..."

Zhong Xiaoai wanted to say something more, but Zhong Zhengguo interrupted her!

"Listen to your father, you should go to Handong to take up the post. Your father won't harm you!"

Then the call ended. Zhong Xiaoai was a little confused. How could her father say the same thing as her husband? No matter how high Zhao Zhongxin climbed, in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, he was still a bully. For such a person, Zhong Xiaoai only had one thing to say: keep your distance! If you can't afford to offend him, can't you at least avoid him? But the people around her were like iron being attracted by a magnet, constantly moving closer to Zhao Zhongxin. Why, why!

To put it bluntly, Zhong Xiaoai is very satisfied with her current situation. She is a woman, and women who pursue a political career don't have high prospects, so she was never taught from a young age to have the mindset of climbing the social ladder! In her eyes, as long as her husband loves her, her children are adorable, and her parents are healthy, that's enough; she doesn't ask for anything else!

"Senior, take care!"

Li Kangjian got out of the car, bowing and scraping as he spoke, while Zhao Zhongxin waved his hand, signaling the driver to start the car.

Li Kangjian had just seen Zhao Zhongxin off when his father-in-law, Zhong Zhengguo, called!

Li Kangjian frowned, initially thinking this was a charlatan Zhong Xiaoai had hired to persuade him to return to Beijing. But now that things had come to this, no matter who tried to persuade him, he wasn't going to leave Zhao Zhongxin's side!

"Hey, Dad! Sigh, I know, I know! Really? Then I'll try to persuade Xiao Ai again!"

Li Kangjian was surprised by the phone call from Zhong Zhengguo, but he quickly realized what was going on!

Her father-in-law told her to cultivate a good relationship with Li Kangjian and stay in Handong, which was the best thing for her. Her father-in-law was indeed a high-ranking official; his insight was much better than that of his wife and daughter. His political sensitivity was also very high. Now, Li Kangjian didn't care anymore. With her father-in-law's support, Zhong Xiaoai didn't dare to say anything.

Li Kangjian still didn't want to divorce Zhong Xiaoai. After all, they were childhood sweethearts with a good relationship and loved each other deeply. Their families were also old friends, and he didn't want things to end in a breakup.

If Zhong Xiaoai can come to Handong, that would be best. If she can't, I won't force her. Isn't this already the best possible outcome?

Thinking of this, Li Kangjian made another call to Zhong Xiaoai!

"Hey! Hey, Xiao Ai, are you listening?"

Zhong Xiaoai answered the phone but remained silent for a long time. Li Kangjian asked her a few questions, and finally, he could only say...

"Xiao Ai, I know you don't like Senior Zhao, but think about our child. The higher I climb, the brighter our child's future will be..."
