Li, the deputy officer, was somewhat embarrassed by Lu Zhan's teasing, but he still said very seriously:
"Lu Zhan, don't laugh, I'm serious. I misunderstood your wife before, and that was my mistake. Now that I know who she is, I naturally have to make it up to her!"
"I believe you, Old Li, you don't have to be so serious about it. I did blame you for what happened before, but we've been friends for so many years, and I know you meant well for me. But let it be a lesson, the matter is over, and there's no need for you to dwell on it."
Li, the deputy officer, gave a bitter smile.
"Alright, that's about it. I have to leave work now."
Li, the deputy officer, quickly responded, "You go ahead and accompany your wife, I'll handle the rest here!"
Lu Zhan smiled and, without hesitation, stood up, grabbed his coat, and left.
Indeed, most of the matters were settled, and since Old Li felt guilty, he was eager to make amends, leaving Lu Zhan only too happy to oblige.
