Chapter Eighty-six: A Thief's Guilty Conscience

  No one is born a bad person, from childhood education, it's all about listening and being a good kid, growing up to make contributions to society. But reality isn't like that, when someone does something wrong, for this or that reason, they don't receive the punishment they deserve, or haven't paid the price, then their perception will change unknowingly, thinking some things are a matter of course, and doing them is no big deal, can be easily settled.

  Liu Hong now has this understanding, and he had a physical relationship with Tan Lingli. With the help of his father, Tan Lingli was smoothly transferred to the Xilin City TV station. Liu Hong's heart was not at ease, from small to large, he had never been used by others like this before. After thinking for a while, Liu Hong thought that Tan Lingli's contribution was deserved, but his own cost was too great, and he must get compensation to balance his mind. However, Tan Lingli had nothing, and what Liu Hong thought of was Tan Lingli's body. Liu Hong lay in bed, hugging the naked Tan Lingli, and his mind was extremely satisfied. You are great, I admit it, but I have done things for you, I think whatever I want to do, you can't set conditions. Through communication with his father, Liu Hong basically grasped Tan Lingli's thoughts. After just being transferred to the TV station, Tan Lingli must be thinking of doing a good job and absolutely not wanting anything to happen. Girls always love their reputation, when requirements are met, they think of holding on to everything in front of them and living a good life.

  Throughout the night, Liu Hong had Tan Lingli three times. Tan Lingli went from being initially indifferent to actively cooperating later on, giving Liu Hong a huge thrill. Tan Lingli's appearance was ordinary, but her figure was great, far surpassing Zheng Yuxin's in many ways. At this moment, Zheng Yuxin was still traveling abroad and would be returning soon. Therefore, Liu Hong needed to find someone to vent his feelings with. This feeling was too wonderful; he didn't worry about any problems arising since the other party was a classmate and a university student. Liu Hong thought that having possession of two women's bodies at the same time was a manifestation of his abilities. When men have power and money, what do they pursue if not women?

  From this moment on, Liu Hong's mind slowly underwent a change, a change that was not accidental, although the triggering event was somewhat sudden, but in such an environment, Liu Hong's understanding would eventually undergo a transformation.

  Zheng Yuxin's trip has ended, and when she returned to Xilin City, Zheng Yuxin thought of seeing Liu Hong immediately. This time on the trip, Zheng Yuxin didn't feel much happiness, all she could think about was Liu Hong. Now that she's back, she wants to see Liu Hong right away.

  Liu Hong had not yet finished work, Zheng Yuxin went to the new house to take a look. The new house was already spotless, with open windows and some dust visible on the floor due to the open windows. All the windows were made of aluminum alloy, easy to clean. When Zheng Yuxin stood between the two lamps, she thought about her intimate moments with Liu Hong and suddenly felt eager for their wedding day to arrive sooner.

  Liu Hong saw Zheng Yuxin waiting outside as soon as he got off work. The two hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and they were both very excited at this moment. If they weren't on the street, they would have hugged each other long ago. Liu Hong still had true feelings for Zheng Yuxin, who was considerate, gentle, and most importantly, sincere. After getting in touch with Tan Lingli, Liu Hong felt even more grateful for Zheng Yuxin's preciousness.

  Liu Hong pulled Zheng Yuxin's hand, and the two got on the bus. They coincidentally chose to go to their new home. As soon as they entered the house and closed the door, they hugged each other, passionately kissing. At this moment, even if the sky fell, it couldn't affect their fervent passion.

  The two were still standing in the bedroom, Zheng Yuxin with her back against Liu Hong, her hands on the wall for support. Behind her, Liu Hong was making a concerted effort to thrust forward. Liu Hong's powerful movements made Zheng Yuxin feel satisfied, and she couldn't help but let out a moan...

  "Yu Xin, how was it this time going out?"

  "It doesn't make sense, from now on I don't want to travel anymore, it's too tiring."

  "Hehe, Yu Xin, I know you must be thinking of me. I think about you every day. Since you left, I haven't had anything to do and can only stay at home every day, it's so boring."

  Zheng Yuxin was deeply moved, leaning into Liu Hong's arms. At this moment, as a woman, Zheng Yuxin felt the greatest satisfaction. A woman can find a good man in her lifetime, have a happy and fulfilling family, and later have an adorable little baby to raise until adulthood - what else is worth pursuing?

  "Liu Hong, I just found out that Big Brother Zheng Wenru has been transferred to work at the Xueyuan District Finance Bureau, thank you!"

  "Yu Xin, what are you talking about? Big brother should have been transferred to a new job long ago."

  "Yes, the conditions in Deyang City were not good. Big brother is older and has never had a girlfriend. Dad and mom didn't allow him to have a girlfriend in Deyang City. Now that he's back in Xilin City, all problems are solved."

  "Right, Yu Xin, neither of our elder brothers is married yet, so we can just hold the ceremony, will it have any impact?"

  Zheng Yuxin gave Liu Hong a white eye.

  "What's wrong, having second thoughts? Now that you've got what you wanted, you don't want to hold a ceremony anymore."

  "No, I wouldn't think of that. What I'm thinking is that both Big Brother and Second Brother are getting old and should get married."

  Liu Hong followed Zheng Yuxin to her home for dinner. Now, Zheng Wenyu was also at home having dinner. Although it was just one more person, the atmosphere seemed much livelier than before. One more person made all the difference.

  When eating, Luo Ling kept serving dishes to Liu Hong. Liu Hong is now the section chief of the municipal government office. At such a young age, he has already taken on this role, and Luo Ling was extremely delighted. This son-in-law is not simple; he will definitely have a bright future ahead of him, and her daughter can also live a good life with him. Luo Ling deeply felt the importance of power. Zheng Qing Shan handled things in a somewhat rigid manner, emphasizing principles. Therefore, although he was the deputy director of the municipal finance bureau, he couldn't even handle the transfer of his two sons properly. If it weren't for Liu Zhiwen's help, Zheng Wenru would still be working in Deyang City. As for Zheng Wenbin, Luo Ling wasn't too worried; the conditions in Huaiyang City were not bad, and returning to the provincial capital only took about three hours.

  "Liu Hong, eat more now, work is very tiring, must pay attention to your body."

  Liu Hong was eating very hard, but unfortunately Luo Ling's movements were a bit faster, and Liu Hong really couldn't keep up with the pace.

  "Mom, don't give Liu Hong any more dishes, eating too much isn't good either."

  "You know what, boy, with a high activity level every day, it's digested quickly, eating more is fine, no big deal. If you eat too little, the nutrition can't keep up, that's when it gets troublesome."

  After dinner, Liu Hong sat in the living room and chatted with Zheng Wenru. Zheng Qingshan was an old habit, after dinner, he always went out for a walk. Zheng Yuxin helped Luo Ling clean up in the kitchen.

  Zheng Yuxin came out soon, with an expression on her face that was somewhat off, as if she wanted to tell Liu Hong something. Zheng Wenyu saw this and stared at the TV, thinking it's better not to get involved in the couple's affairs. Liu Hong saw Zheng Yuxin's expression and felt a bit tense, wondering if he had been found out, but there was no way she could know about his relationship with Tang Lingli, which was extremely secretive.

  Liu Hong stood up and said goodbye to Zheng Wenru, then went into the kitchen to say goodbye to Luo Ling. Luo Ling's expression was also a bit strange, Liu Hong knew that she must have said something to Zheng Yuxin. The things in the kitchen were not yet done, but Zheng Yuxin came out.

  "Liu Hong, I'm asking you, why did Tan Lingli transfer to work at the TV station?"

  "Oh, Yu Xin, what you said about this matter, I'm not very clear about the specific reason either. My dad mentioned it to me before, Tan Lingli is very capable, she used to work at the street office under Hanzhong District, don't know when she directly went to my dad's unit, and only later did my dad tell me about it."

  Liu Hong's expression was very natural, without revealing a hint of tension or unnaturalness. Zheng Yuxin held Liu Hong's arm, paying close attention to his expression. Tan Lingli's thoughts were somewhat known to Zheng Yuxin, and it was precisely because of Tan Lingli's cunning that Zheng Yuxin gradually distanced herself from her.

  "Liu Hong, is what you're saying true?"

  "Yu Xin, when have I ever lied to you? Tan Lingli found Dad, and it was only later that he told me. A girl finding the district committee would definitely have a bad influence. You also know what happened at school. Dad told me about it, and doing this is for our own good, so we can be careful not to do anything wrong in the future and avoid having a bad influence."

  Zheng Yuxin thought of her own mother and Liu Hong's mother going to school to scold Xu Shaojie, and a look of anger gradually appeared on her face.

  "Hmph, this Tan Lingli is really getting shameless, bringing up old matters and trying to threaten us. Next time I see her, I'll definitely have a good talk with her."

  "Yu Xin, this is your oversight. Dad has already handled the matter and it's said that Tan Lingli won't mention it again in the future. Let's just consider it over. There's no need for us to have any more dealings with Tan Lingli. If you suddenly scolded Tan Lingli and she didn't take it lying down, spreading the news everywhere, wouldn't dad's efforts be wasted? It's not possible to immediately transfer Tan Lingli out of the TV station, is it? I think from now on, try your best to avoid contacting Tan Lingli. Through this matter, I also feel that Tan Lingli's schemes run too deep. It's better if we have less contact."

  "Hmm, you didn't say anything, I was really going to go find Tan Lingli. I'll listen to you. My parents' impression of Tan Lingli wasn't good to begin with, and through this matter, my friendship with Tan Lingli is over."

  "Yuxin, don't think too much about it. You must listen to me and not be impulsive. Tan Lingli is cunning, we shouldn't mess with her. If she has any ideas or does something, we can't guard against it. Can't always be thinking about Tan Lingli's affairs, besides, Tan Lingli just transferred to work at the TV station, there won't be any intersection between us."

  Zheng Yuxin looked at Liu Hong with admiration in her eyes, feeling that his analysis was very reasonable. Zheng Yuxin had always been soft-hearted and when she heard her mother mention this matter, she instinctively felt uncomfortable, so she found Liu Hong to ask for clarification. Since it was Liu Zhiwen who handled Tang Lingli's transfer, going to find Tang Lingli again would seem lacking in dignity. Besides, their relationship with Tang Lingli had been good before.

  "Yuxin, Dad helped Tang Lingli transfer units so quickly because he was afraid you wouldn't be comfortable with it. So, he took care of things while you were traveling. He told me that if you weren't comfortable, I should take good care of your work. Sometimes, some things can't be helped. Besides, Zheng Yuxin is your good friend after all."

  Liu Hong's explanation has made Zheng Yuxin feel a bit ashamed, as she had questioned Liu Hong in a fit of anger. Liu Hong's detailed explanation was already quite good, but now he is afraid that she might have doubts and continues to explain, making Zheng Yuxin feel his concern and her own importance.

  "Liu Hong, I know, don't say anything else. I won't go looking for Tan Lingli, and even if I do meet her, I won't ask about this matter. I'll just pretend I don't know anything."

  Liu Hong returned home feeling satisfied and happy, while Zheng Yuxin not only didn't suspect anything but also felt guilty, which shows that his coping ability has greatly improved. Don't underestimate such progress, as he will still have to rely on this tactic to maintain family stability in the future.

  Liu Hong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, he felt that it was only natural. He wouldn't give up either side, and before Tan Lingli had a boyfriend, he would constantly go find her. Of course, now that Zheng Yuxin is by his side, the opportunities will certainly be greatly reduced. As long as Zheng Yuxin doesn't go find Tan Lingli, he can maintain an extraordinary relationship with Tan Lingli. From the current situation, it seems that Zheng Yuxin also won't go find Tan Lingli. With this thought, Liu Hong fell asleep contentedly.

  After Liu Hong and Tan Lingli got together, Liu Zhiwen had been paying attention to Liu Hong's situation. He was very busy with work and couldn't always be by Liu Hong's side, but through observing Liu Hong's actions, he could understand some things. He found that Liu Hong had regained his confidence, and since Zheng Yuxin came back, the two of them were basically together after work. Liu Hong's care for Zheng Yuxin was genuine, and Liu Zhiwen didn't find out that Liu Hong continued to look for Tan Lingli. To achieve this effect, Liu Zhiwen still spent some thought on it, everything was for Liu Hong. This kind of transfer, where he had to spend his own money to entertain, was the first time for Liu Zhiwen, and he didn't want there to be a second time. He hoped that Liu Hong would quickly grow up and mature, and be able to handle all aspects of things. As long as Liu Hong could always grasp himself, he would definitely have a future. What Liu Zhiwen didn't think was that this time, by solving the problem for Liu Hong, it had caused some subtle changes in Liu Hong's outlook on life and values. These changes became more and more apparent over time.
