But Lu Yumei thought to herself, something's not right!
At home, Zhao Yan wasn't returning home anymore. Zhao Han was showing filial piety at the Zhangs, busying between work and their home, no longer coming back here.
If they were to go on a trip, wouldn't it just be her and Liu Zhizhong?
How could that work?
If people with ulterior motives saw them together, wouldn't it damage their reputations? It wouldn't be good for her or for Liu Zhizhong!
She thought about it and decided to call her sister, Lu Yuqing, that very night.
She wanted Lu Yuqing to take annual leave so the sisters could go on a summer getaway with Liu Zhizhong to Shennong Valley. They had planned to go previously, but the death of Zhang Dingkang had prevented it.
But Lu Yuqing, feeling down, said her relatives were visiting, leaving her feeling weak and uncomfortable, not wanting to move at all! She told her sister to wait a few more days.
As a result, Lu Yumei had no choice but to wait for her sister.
