“Ziqian,” Father Lin said to him after he had thought it through, “Go and make a condition for her. Since she cheated on you, she must want to be with him. If she doesn’t agree, your relationship will be a means to restrain her. Go and tell her that if she wants to run away with her adulterer, ask Li Dongsheng to promote me to the position of director of the Forestry Bureau. If she can’t do it, I will be the first to disagree with the divorce.”

Father Lin did not look at Lin Ziqian’s reaction. Because of his excitement, his hand that was holding the newspaper was trembling slightly. He had waited for so many years, and finally, a chance to be promoted was placed in front of him!

He had studied earnestly and worked hard all his life, but it was difficult for him to advance in the position of deputy director! At his age, there was basically no room for development. He had thought that he could only be a deputy director for his entire life and accept his fate and be suppressed by others. When the time came, he would retire. He did not expect that Wu Man’s adulterer was actually the mayor! He had to seize this opportunity well, otherwise, he would be completely crushed by others in the future!

“Wait, also, get that mayor to find a job for Zihao. His educations are not high, but it shouldn’t be a problem for him to be a civil servant, right? With his identity, it’s not hard for him to make these arrangements…” Father Lin began to imagine the scene of his family rising to heaven because of this secret; he even laughed out loud.

Because Lin Zihao’s education was not high, he idled around at home all day to eat. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he directly asked the mayor to arrange a job for him. It was also good for him to keep himself in check. The salary of a civil servant was a little low, but it was still an iron rice bowl, with five insurance and one gold. When he was old, he would have a pension. His life was guaranteed.

The more Lin Ziqian listened, the more frightened he became. He could no longer listen to the rest of his father’s words. There was only one thought in his mind: for the sake of his future, his father did not care about his feelings at all! This realization made his heart turn cold. This was his biological father, yet he did not care at all that he had been cuckolded. He only wanted to profit from it; there was not even a single thing that was considered for the sake of a victim like him.

No, he could not let others know about this. He could not give these benefits to others for free. He could not let others build their happiness on his pain!

In the evening, Li Dongsheng came to pick Wu Man up from work as usual. However, a Cadillac CT4 blocked his way. When Lin Ziqian got out of the car, the atmosphere froze for a moment. Wu Man’s mind went blank, but Li Dongsheng smiled. “What’s the matter?”

Lin Ziqian clenched his fists. If the person in front of him was not the mayor, he would definitely fight with the man who slept with his wife on the street!

“Of course there’s something wrong,” he said in a low voice. The low pressure on his body made people afraid to speak.

Li Dongsheng’s manners were still very decent. Seeing that Lin Ziqian did not give in, he understood what he meant. “There’s a club nearby. If there’s anything, let’s go there and talk.”

Lin Ziqian agreed. Wu Man wanted to leave, but when she met their eyes, she felt that it was better not to run. If it weren’t for her, Li Dongsheng would not have been stopped by Lin Ziqian. When they reached the place, Wu Man realized that it was a private club.

The decoration of the club was gorgeous and high-class. Lin Ziqian had only heard others mention it in an envious tone before. He had never been here because this was a membership system, and ordinary people could not enter at all. Since his money had been used to pay off the car loan, he did not even have the right to spend a night here.

Li Dongsheng was very familiar with the waiters, and he could tell that they were people who frequented this place. This made Lin Ziqian feel even more unbalanced. He had originally come here to talk business, but he was still beaten down by Li Dongsheng as if he was showing off. After ordering some simple drinks, Lin Ziqian’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the price marked on it. It was so high that it was jaw-dropping. There was even a service fee here. He had spent a month’s salary in just a few seconds.

Lin Ziqian was even more displeased. It seemed that Li Dongsheng’s actions were all to show him that he was not worthy of being together with Wu Man…. In his anger, he decided to make these two pay!
