Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Furious Confrontation with the Commander-in-law!

Xu Qianli, upon hearing this, reached out and patted the middle-aged man’s shoulder, "At least that was somewhat human to say."

"You little brat, you’re really too presumptuous!"

The middle-aged man brushed Xu Qianli’s hand aside and glared at him, examining him from head to toe, growing more dissatisfied by the second, which was evident from his expression.

"I’m asking you, what position do you hold at Jiang City County Government?"

"Did you ever have a girlfriend before?"

"What are your intentions towards my daughter?"

The middle-aged man threw out these three questions, eager to know some details about Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli responded, "If it were Meixin’s adoptive mother, she would definitely have the right to ask these questions. As for you, save it. Don’t act like a loving father questioning his daughter’s boyfriend. You have no right! Instead, I should be asking you, who are you, how many children do you have at home, and what do you plan to do after recognizing Meixin?"

Xu Qianli shot back with a series of questions. Since this guy was Ding Meixin’s biological father, as her boyfriend, he felt obliged to understand the situation.

"Kid, you’ve got guts, daring to question me like this."

"All right, I’ll answer you. My name is Ye Zhanhua, I have another younger daughter at home, and this time after recognizing Meixin, I plan to take her away, to bring her back to our family."

The middle-aged man stated his name and purpose. He, Ye Zhanhua, had come to take Ding Meixin away.

Ye Zhanhua?

Why did Xu Qianli find this name so familiar?

Frowning and deep in thought for quite a while, he finally remembered—wasn’t the name of the commander of East Sea Theater, Ye Zhanhua?

Xu Qianli suddenly looked at Ye Zhanhua, "Could it be that you are Commander Ye?"

"You’re pretty knowledgeable to recognize me."

"Now you should realize the gap between you and my daughter’s social status. She is not someone a man like you could ever possess."

"Fortunately, you met through an arrange meeting and have only been dating for two days, with no real emotional foundation. If you can willingly break off this relationship, I can offer you a favor, I don’t mind asking the Organization Department in Zhongzhou City to take good care of you."

Ye Zhanhua laid out his offer, with his influence, just a word to the Organization Department, and this young man could hardly avoid a meteoric rise.

Xu Qianli, upon hearing this, could not help but sneer out loud, looking at Ye Zhanhua like he was looking at a fool.

"Initially, seeing that you were Meixin’s biological father, I had some respect for you."

"Now it seems, someone like you truly doesn’t deserve any respect."

"I’ll repeat what I said, you have no right to meddle in my relationship with Meixin!"

"Also, I must very seriously tell you one thing; I advise you best to abandon the idea of recognizing Meixin."

"The reason is simple, because you don’t deserve it!"

"You!" Ye Zhanhua erupted in anger, his high position usually carried an inherent authority, and he was truly frightening when angry.

Unfortunately, Xu Qianli was not intimidated and remained indifferent.

"What, angry?"

"Is it because you’re so used to being in a high position that nobody dares to defy you, and suddenly someone dares to disobey you, particularly someone whom you wouldn’t normally even bother to glance at, which makes you incredibly angry?"

"I’ll tell you, the one who should be angry isn’t you, but me and my girlfriend, Ding Meixin!"

"Ask yourself, in these past twenty-plus years, have you contributed even the slightest bit towards Meixin?"

"To emerge suddenly after twenty years of absence, not thinking of making amends to her, but the first thing you do is promise benefits to get her boyfriend to dump her, making her heartbroken."

"Just like you, deserving to be her father, deserving to acknowledge her as your daughter?"

"Meixin has her own choices, her own life, stop pretending you’re doing this for her good, pressuring me to break up with her, you really don’t deserve it!"

Xu Qianli opened with rapid-fire remarks, each sentence piercing Ye Zhanhua’s heart.

"Enough!"

"Shut your mouth!"

"No matter what you say, I am her biological father, connected by blood. Am I wrong in considering her future?"

"You’ve only known her for two days, how deep can your feelings be? Even if you break up, how heartbroken can she be?"

"She is my daughter, Ye Zhanhua’s daughter, the lost bloodline of the Ye Family. The man she should marry in the future is a hundred times better than you!"

"If you have any sense, just quietly accept my terms, I can help you rise rapidly, I can promise you to be the Jiang City County Secretary within ten years."

"If you don’t know any better and continue to cause trouble with nonsense, don’t blame me, Ye Zhanhua, for being ruthless!"

"You know my status and position, if I want to deal with someone like you, it won’t take any effort at all!"

Ye Zhanhua completely tore his mask off.

If it weren’t for his daughter, with his status, he would never even speak to someone like Xu Qianli.

How dare Xu Qianli confront him, mock, question, and even despise him? What gave this kid the right?

Facing Ye Zhanhua’s threat, Xu Qianli spoke out.

"So, you had already planned her future, acknowledging her first, then bringing her back to the family, and choosing a husband that suits your family’s interests to marry her off, making her a sacrificial pawn in a marriage alliance?"

"Abandoning her at birth, not showing any parental grace for over twenty years, and then suddenly appearing when she has grown up, forcing her to break up with her boyfriend in the name of so-called kinship, taking her away from the home she lived in for many years, forcing her to marry a man she dislikes—what is heartless and ungrateful, now I have seen it!"

This...

For a moment, Ye Zhanhua was at a loss for words.

Xu Qianli said, "What now, speechless? Do you even feel that your actions are so shameless that even you don’t know how to face yourself?"

"No, I didn’t think like that, I just want to compensate her, I just want to make up for my more than twenty years of neglect, simply want her to marry a better man, to give her a better future."

Ye Zhanhua shook his head, further denying, he was not as shameless as Xu Qianli described.

"Marrying her to a better man, does that make her happier?"

"Have you asked her what kind of man she wants to marry, what kind of life she wants, have you asked her?"

"You just think that me, a lowly civil servant, don’t deserve to be your daughter’s husband, don’t match up to the Ye Family, right?"

"Commander Ye, I’ll tell you, even though I’m just a lowly civil servant, as long as Meixin doesn’t break up with me voluntarily, don’t talk about threatening me, even if you point a gun at my head, I won’t compromise!"

"Don’t talk about the Jiang City County Secretary, even if you offer the position of Secretary of the Municipal Committee of Zhongzhou City, I don’t care!"

"Enough, I’m tired of talking with you, please get out of the car!"

Xu Qianli was issuing an eviction order, tired of wasting words on this sort of person.

Ye Zhanhua didn’t leave, but instead heavily patted Xu Qianli’s shoulder.

"Kid, you’re the first to be so arrogant and disrespectful in front of me, Ye Zhanhua."

"Just for that boldness, you suit my taste."

"If you want to be my son-in-law, Ye Zhanhua, it’s not impossible, just agree to one condition."
