Chapter 1528 - 1528
Liu Zhizhong had already gotten to know the details about Bai Qiuxia, Zuo Xintong, and Zhang Minmin from his godfather, Qian Xuan. They all came from the Tiandu aristocratic families, descendants of former generals. The offspring of those who fought for New Era. You get it, right?
But he didn't want to admit he knew; instead, he wanted to play along with Zhang Minmin and let her show off.
Women, you have to give them a chance to flaunt themselves, whether it's beauty, family background, wealth, or other stuff that feeds the vanity. When they show off, and you play along, they feel comfortable, and your relationship can solidify and improve.
At this moment, Liu Zhizhong decisively played along with seriousness and yearning on his face.
"So, Minmin, what's your family's status in Tiandu like? I guess it's really impressive, right? Haha..."
This got Zhang Minmin all worked up, and a proud smile appeared on her face.
She picked up the fruit tea, saw it was empty, and frowned.
Liu Zhizhong was quick to react, immediately laughing along and refilling her glass. This made her feel comfortable again.
This handsome man, despite what happened last night, had a good attitude today and agreed to marry her, so naturally, Zhang Minmin felt comfortable.
After taking a sip of fruit tea, Zhang Minmin spoke loftily, "Old Zhang Family in Tiandu, it's not just talk, a well-established aristocratic family. Our ancestor was a prime minister in the old era, and after fathering my great-grandfather, he became a famous general during Kaiyuan, then..."
Hey, this woman recited her family history like a treasure trove, describing it more meticulously and convincingly than Zheng Xitong did.
Liu Zhizhong kept exclaiming and making motions, like slapping his forehead and thigh, shouting in awe.
The more he played along, the more Zhang Minmin felt satisfied and pleased. She thought, this guy must be overwhelmed! If she could control him like this, he'd be more obedient after they married.
Honestly, in Zhang Minmin's heart, Liu Zhizhong, this man, was tall, handsome, strong, refined and elegant on the outside; if he became her husband, she wouldn't lose anything. To take him out in the Tiandu circle, he'd be first-rate in looks and charisma!
Women, Little Fairies, their vanity is quite genuine.
Therefore, in the end, Zhang Minmin coolly said, "With my family's influence, do you think your godfather's local Powerful People can handle it? Isn't it easy to control you, Liu Zhizhong?"
Liu Zhizhong quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, indeed... Minmin, you've scared me..."
In fact, Liu Zhizhong thought: Why act so proud? On the surface, local Powerful People don't dare mess with you, but, secretly, well... you shouldn't act all high and mighty if you don't understand politics, but I can't be bothered to argue with you, I'll just appease you for now.
Zhang Minmin felt quite comfortable, thinking she had Liu Zhizhong firmly in her grip. Then, she gave a mysterious smile and said, "During this National Day, I went home with my elder cousin, not only for Grandma Bai's funeral but also attended the Princess's wedding. Can you guess whom the Princess married, and what's the relationship between the Prince Consort and Zhang Minmin?"
Liu Zhizhong looked puzzled, "Minmin, if you don't tell me, how could I possibly know?"
