Chapter 575: I'll Take You Back to the Provincial City

Zhang Xia was so keen to ingratiate herself with Lu Xiaoli because her husband had been an assistant police officer for seven to eight years without being made permanent. She finally seized this opportunity because she wanted to "leap through the dragon's gate" as a carp transforms into a dragon, so she was the one most eager for the Zhang family to establish a marriage connection with Lu Xiaoli. However, she never anticipated that Zhou Guiting, whom she had never taken seriously, would have a status so much more significant than Lu Xiaoli's. One was merely the daughter of a city deputy director, but the other was the sole beloved daughter of a provincial department director—the disparity in status was simply too vast. Moreover, crucially, after this incident, Lu Jiangong, that deputy director, would likely be unable to continue in his role. And their Zhang family would lose everything they currently possessed because of this incident—that was the cost!
