Power and Official Career - Chapter [-]: Xia Qiu and Zhang Zhixian

Just when Lu Yan was full of ambition in his official career and was about to show off his skills.His mother, Xia Qiu, is facing an inevitable turning point in her life, that is, she is about to retire.

Xia Qiu works in a provincial TV station and is already a female cadre at the director level. According to the national regulations, she will retire at the age of 55.

In another year, I will retire. This idea is silently calculated in Xia Qiu's mind. Every day when she goes to work in the unit, she counts down the loss of every minute and every second in her heart. After a day passes , she always said to herself in her heart: "You are missing another day."

Ever since Lin Xiaoyun accidentally mentioned that Lu Yan's face resembled Zhang Guojing's, Xia Qiu felt more and more uneasy.Since Lu Xiaodong died, Lu Yan was actually the inside story of Zhang Guojing's son, and she was the only one in the world who knew about it.

In fact, Lu Yan's face is more similar to Xia Qiu's face shape. He inherited Zhang Guojing's tall figure and straight posture, and his face shape inherited Xia Qiu's fair and delicate face.Lin Xiaoyun watched the TV, just relying on the sensitivity of a woman, she blurted out her thoughts in a flash, never thinking that Lu Yan and Zhang Guojing had any blood relationship at all.But the speaker has no intention but the listener does, Xia Qiu feels the crisis is coming.

Originally, Xia Qiu planned to bury this secret in his heart forever and never tell anyone about it again.However, what she worried about was that this secret might not be kept in the future.Recently, an ethical story was circulated on the Internet: a father had an affair with a female neighbor when he was young. After many years, the two families lived separately.Later, his son fell in love with the daughter of the female neighbor, but this daughter happened to be the father's biological daughter. When the son got married, the father chose to remain silent. After many years of marriage, the son and daughter-in-law did not know that they were of the same father. mother's siblings.The female neighbor died early due to illness, and only the father knew this secret.

Later, because the young couple could not conceive for a long time, after going to the hospital for an examination, it was discovered that the DNA of the couple was very similar, and they turned out to be biological brothers and sisters. Only then did the father reveal the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years.

After Xia Qiu saw this story, she felt more and more uneasy, and she witnessed the ambiguity between Lu Yan and Zhang Zhixian.I am getting old year by year, and in the future, maybe the development of things will not be under her control, who can stop Tongtong from not being with Zhang Guojing's granddaughter?Even if Tongtong married Zhang Guojing's granddaughter, they are not biological siblings, but they are a family separated by a generation.

Besides, Zhang Guojing was flirtatious when he was young, who knows if he has illegitimate children outside?Lu Yan is having an affair with Zhang Zhixian, Xia Qiu can't guarantee whether they will have children in the future.At this time, Xia Qiu didn't know that Song Yinghong had given birth to a child for Lu Yan. Of course, only Song Yinghong and Lu Yan knew the origin of this child. Even Ye Silang didn't know that the child born by Song Yinghong was not her own.

If Xia Qiu knew that Lu Yan already had an illegitimate child, he would be even more entangled in his heart.

As a mother's selfishness, of course she hopes to have as many children and grandchildren as possible. However, Lu Yan's life experience is a secret. When it comes to children and grandchildren, the secret becomes more complicated and confusing. Maybe the story that was circulated at night will appear in the future.

Such thoughts accumulated in Xia Qiu's heart, causing her a headache.A year later, she went to the hospital for another physical examination, mainly because of the headaches that made her miserable.This time, she avoided Lu Yan and found Zhang Zhixian privately after the normal examination while waiting for the results. Why did she find Zhang Zhixian? Only Xia Qiu understood this idea. Xia Qiu still doesn't know much about his extramarital affairs.

Although Zhang Zhixian has many patients, some of them left a deep impression on her.A year later, she still recognized Xia Qiu at a glance, and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Auntie, why didn't Ah Yan come with you?"

"Well, he's busy with work, so I didn't inform him." Xia Qiu said hesitantly, but observed Zhang Zhixian sharply.Look at her daughter-in-law with the eyes of a standard mother-in-law. No matter how you look at it, Zhang Zhixian is an upright and virtuous woman. If Xia Qiu hadn't seen Zhang Zhixian and Lu Yan's evasive but affectionate attitude with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that this woman in front of her The doctor had an affair with Lu Yan.

Zhang Zhixian said enthusiastically, "Auntie, is there anything I need?"

"It's nothing, I'm just here for a physical examination. Recently, I've had headaches again, and I haven't slept very well." After finishing speaking, Xia Qiu changed the subject and said, "Doctor Zhang, what does your husband do? "

"I'm not married yet." Zhang Zhixian had a smile on her face, and she didn't think that Xia Qiu's inquiring about her private life was an offense to her.The middle-aged woman sitting in front of him is in fact her mother-in-law. Even if it is disclosed without a name, Zhang Zhixian treats Xia Qiu as her mother-in-law. She is very respectful and answers every request and question.

Only then did Xia Qiu let out an "oh", thought for a while and said, "Then, I won't go around the bush, are you with Ah Yan?"

Zhang Zhixian is an intellectual and bold woman who will not evade her own emotional problems. Her heart sank, but she still said, "Why do you ask me that, Auntie?"

"I just want to confirm this question, please don't lie to me." Xia Qiu looked directly at Zhang Zhixian.

Zhang Zhixian was very embarrassed, and said: "If Auntie Lu wants to scold me, this is not the best place."

"I won't scold you. In fact, I don't mind Ah Yan having a friend like you." Do you really mind?I am afraid that only Xia Qiu knows the answer in his heart. It is impossible to not mind at all, but it is true that he does not mind too much.

Xia Qiu is not Lin Xiaoyun, so she doesn't have much sense of marital crisis. Moreover, Lu Yan can conquer such an outstanding woman like Zhang Zhixian, Xia Qiu can only feel happy for him.Although this kind of thinking is very dangerous and may cause irreparable damage to Lu Yan's family and his own family, Xia Qiu's intuition in his heart is that Zhang Zhixian is not the kind of innocent little girl who would not follow Lu Yan for the power in his hands. When he is together, their relationship maintains more only feelings, that is true love.

Everyone has their own choice. Zhang Zhixian chose to be with Lu Yan, so naturally she had her own unexplainable reasons. No matter whether the reason is correct or not, at least it is more beneficial to Lu Yan at the moment.

The private lives of officials are exposed a lot, and almost every corrupt official has more than one woman behind him, as if this is a feature of today's society.However, Zhang Zhixian's attire shows that she is not a woman with a rotten life, there is no strong desire in her eyes, and she speaks very calmly and rationally, this is what Xia Qiu is most satisfied with.Only a woman who is not surprised by favor or humiliation can have stronger inner self-confidence.

Zhang Zhixian was caught off guard by Xia Qiu's words, and she was already prepared to deal with Xia Qiulai's questioning of her teacher, and she planned to leave Wucheng even if she wanted to avoid trouble for Lu Yan.

When she first came to Wucheng City, she wanted to get closer to Lu Yan. She didn't expect that the encounters in life are not determined by others. Not only did she meet Lu Yan, but the relationship between the two also developed.Now, Zhang Zhixian has a deeper foundation in Wucheng, with a career and material foundation she likes, and she gradually begins to be inseparable from Wucheng. Pick it up by yourself, at worst, start all over again.Therefore, Zhang Zhixian did not choose to evade and retreat, but bravely admitted, although the admission was not so direct.

When he said these words, Zhang Zhixian was prepared for the worst outcome.

However, Xia Qiu really didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime today, but wanted to know more about Zhang Zhixian.

Zhang Zhixian prepared for the worst outcome in his heart, and said without fear: "Thank you, Aunt Lu, for your generosity. In fact, I love Ah Yan, and I have no intention of destroying his marriage and career. I just want to watch quietly." With him, for the rest of my life..."

After Zhang Zhixian said what was in her heart, Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of her current situation. She has been silent all her life, guarding an illegitimate child, taking care of a complete family, and enduring humiliation. Such thoughts made her unhappy and depressed all her life. Now, she hasn't figured out how to deal with the future.

Xia Qiu couldn't help sighing and said, "A lifetime, Doctor Zhang, a lifetime is a very long time."

"Man, no matter how you live, it's a lifetime. Whether it's happiness or misfortune, it needs to pass day by day. Auntie, are you going to persuade me to leave Ah Yan?" Zhang Zhixian asked quietly.

Xia Qiu shook his head slightly, changed the subject and said, "I don't care about your relationship with him, as long as you take care of the affairs of young people, you have no plans to have children?" This is what she needs most in her heart. knew.

Zhang Zhixian was stunned, she didn't expect Xia Qiu to say that, she silently calculated in her heart, Lu Yan already had a son, and from the traditional Chinese concept, there is already someone who will continue the incense, Xia Qiu would not let herself give birth of a child.So I said: "I don't have the idea of ​​having children. I am a doctor and I know the pressure a child brings to me. In fact, I advocate living alone for the rest of my life. Having a child's burden and sense of responsibility will increase the burden. , causing unnecessary trouble to myself."

Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "So, in the future, will you change your mind? I mean, as a person grows older, he will make choices about his previous values ​​and morals."

"I won't." Zhang Zhixian still denied Xia Qiu's conjecture, and said, "Please rest assured, Aunt Lu, I will not change my previous thoughts easily. In fact, I know Ayan, and we are together Together, they are all carefully considered, and there is no impulsive or rash decision. I love him deeply, just like I really love a friend who has been in love for many years. If I have too much ambition, I am afraid that Ah Yan will not follow him. I am together, we rarely meet each other recently, I know that he is very busy, and I can’t bear to disturb his normal life and career. Moreover, my life is also very fulfilling now, with pursuits, careers and a stable source of income .”

Xia Qiu's heart became much more stable, and she smiled gratifiedly and said, "Then, I'm relieved. In fact, I'm more worried about everything Ah Yan will have to face in the future."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lu, I love Ah Yan more than myself, and I won't let him be in any danger." Zhang Zhixian made a promise to Xia Qiu in a very firm tone.
