Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Hesitant due to Concerns Over Valuables 5

After Li Shuitian entered, they exchanged military salutes according to etiquette, and then he began with a series of apologies.

"What have you done wrong to start off with an apology?" Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng were utterly bewildered.

They were fairly familiar with Li Shuitian, a man of loyalty and honesty, but no fool; on the contrary, he was quite intelligent, handled and made decisions with great determination, and that was the main reason he was superior to Jiu Hong.

Jiu Hong always thought he should replace Li Shuitian; however, in reality, he was not as competent as Li Shuitian in any aspect.

Merely considering how Li Shuitian discreetly rectified his wife’s mistakes and supported Lu Jiang at work reveals his character, and he even helped Lu Jiang out of trouble without making a fuss about it.

After so much time had passed, Lu Jiang had no idea until Zheng Xuefeng heard someone spill the beans today.

Li Shuitian awkwardly said, "Comrade Jiu Hong was divorcing Comrade Lu Zhaozhen, right? Comrade Lu Zhaozhen wanted to take action against Comrade Jiu Hong to save their marriage, and my wife, Comrade Cao Hongzhu, lost her senses and got involved. I just scolded her, and she knows she was wrong. So, I rushed over here to make amends and ask Comrade Lu and Comrade Zheng to mediate for Jiu Hong and Lu Zhaozhen, hoping to avoid any conflict because of Comrade Cao Hongzhu’s actions and prevent irreparable consequences."

Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng were instantly startled; Cao Hongzhu’s fighting spirit was indeed extraordinary!

"What has Comrade Cao Hongzhu done?" Zheng Xuefeng hurriedly asked, hoping she hadn’t caused anything beyond their control. He understood now that when Cao Hongzhu did speak up, it was striking.

Li Shuitian quietly explained everything about Lu Zhaozhen and Cao Hongzhu writing for the newspaper in detail.

Zheng Xuefeng found it laughable, "According to what you’ve said, these two female comrades are really something, aren’t they? You scheme against me, I scheme against you, they could both take the stage in a melodrama full of intrigue. Though, is Lu Zhaozhen as clever as you suggest?"

If she were truly clever, then Lu Zhaozhen would not have fallen to her current predicament.

Of course, the smartest one was Li Shuitian.

"Better to be safe than sorry," Li Shuitian admitted, considering he knew Jiu Hong quite well. Between prospects and divorce, the former was naturally more important to Jiu Hong. "Now, Comrade Lu Zhaozhen has taken that newspaper, we just can’t let anything happen!"

Lu Jiang glanced at Zheng Xuefeng, "Comrade Zheng, what do you think?"

Zheng Xuefeng spread his hands, "Still the same saying, let’s just wait and see how things unfold."

If Lu Zhaozhen was trying to save the marriage and thus making Jiu Hong hesitate to act, then that newspaper would not appear on the bulletin board, and without mediation, they would maintain their marriage.

If the newspaper appears on the bulletin board, it means that Lu Zhaozhen really has torn up with Jiu Hong, and mediation would be futile.

As for the concerns that Li Shuitian feared, wasn’t he just worried that Lu Zhaozhen and Jiu Hong might accuse each other first should things go south? If that hadn’t happened, it implied Jiu Hong still had some conscience. If it did happen, they would understand even more about the character of the couple, and in the future, it would be wise to stay far away from such people, for they are like hidden venomous snakes, never knowing when they might strike.

Having solved the trouble, Li Shuitian left contentedly, and from then on, whatever happened would have nothing to do with them.

No sooner had he left than Jiu Hong arrived.
