The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 357: Father-in-law’s Heavy Punch!

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Father-in-law’s Heavy Punch!

Ye Zhanhua exuded a sharpness characteristic of a military man; he commanded respect without the need for anger, and his presence was incredibly formidable.

Qin Bijun was gentle and graceful, a prototypical beauty of the Southern water towns. Even though she was forty, time hadn’t left a single mark on her face; not a wrinkle was to be seen. Her beauty was extraordinary, ranking at the very top among mature women.

One tall and sturdy with a square face, the other radiant and gorgeous—they stood side by side like a pair made in heaven.

Upon seeing them, Xu Qianli hastened to greet them.

"Uncle Ye, Aunt Qin, hello."

Ye Zhanhua said nothing. He gave Xu Qianli a complicated look and turned his attention away, too indifferent to bother with him.

He was not particularly satisfied with Xu Qianli.

Imagine who Ye Zhanhua was, the Ye Family even more so a top-tier noble family. His daughter should have married a proud son of heaven. Yet, she ended up with Xu Qianli, a mere department-level cadre from an ordinary town—it was like a white swan falling into the hands of a toad, causing him an immense headache.

Though he had come today to meet Xu Qianli, it didn’t mean he accepted him as a son-in-law.

And so, upon meeting him, he immediately pulled a long face.

Seeing this, Qin Bijun hurriedly tugged at Ye Zhanhua’s arm, smiling broadly at Xu Qianli as she spoke, "You must be young Xu, aren’t you? Truly an impressive young man, no wonder our Meixin is so fond of you. Come, let me get a good look at you. Not bad, not bad at all, quite excellent indeed."

Compared to Ye Zhanhua, Qin Bijun was excessively warm, sizing up Xu Qianli from head to toe, seemingly quite pleased with his appearance.

Ye Qingmei, holding Ding Meixin’s hand, stepped forward with a cheerful grin, "Absolutely, our brother-in-law isn’t only handsome but also very capable—a rarity among men. Otherwise, my sister wouldn’t have fallen for him. Brother-in-law, here we meet again. I still remember clearly how you took care of me last time."

Faced with Ye Qingmei’s words, Xu Qianli couldn’t help but recall the mad frenzy they shared twice in the woods behind the Wild Game Villa at Qingshan Town.

This little demon was now bringing it up in front of so many people, seemingly fearless of being understood by anyone who could read between the lines.

It had been less than a month since their last meeting, but her body seemed to have undergone a second development, significantly fuller and her chest having grown a whole size larger. Her entire figure exuded even more womanliness, a sight so pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Xu Qianli gaze intently at her, Ye Qingmei flashed a smile, revealing a row of small white teeth, while her eyes conveyed an unusual flavor, hinting at slyness, obviously scheming something.

Ding Meixin had already reached Xu Qianli’s side and took his hand with a blissful face, addressing Ye Zhanhua and Qin Bijun.

"Dad, Auntie, even though you know about his background, I still want to reintroduce him to you."

"His name is Xu Qianli, the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town, my boyfriend, as well as my lifesaver, and also my future husband."

"Whether you like it or not, I will be with him, even if it means giving up everything just to be with him. No one can stop us!"

Worried that Ye Zhanhua might make things difficult for Xu Qianli, Ding Meixin struck first.

If you, Dad, would accept Xu Qianli, everything would be fine.

But if you don’t accept Xu Qianli and try to separate us, then I have only one choice—to cut ties with you!

Ye Zhanhua naturally understood the implication behind Ding Meixin’s words, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

This foolish daughter, you know you’re a Heavenly Chosen Girl, why bother sticking with someone like Xu Qianli?

Is he really that good?

Qin Bijun gave Ye Zhanhua a look, "Husband, you should say something. Don’t just stand there with a sulky face; otherwise, not only Meixin will disagree, but Qingmei and I won’t agree either!"

Ye Qingmei said, "That’s right. Dad, if you dare to give my brother-in-law trouble, I will never agree!"

You all!

Ye Zhanhua felt helpless. How could both Qin Bijun and Ye Qingmei be siding with Xu Qianli?

That kid, really, what bewitching soup had he been fed? Was it necessary?

Annoyed as he was, faced with the fait accompli, Ye Zhanhua was at his wit’s end. He sighed and said, "Xu Qianli, you’re quite lucky to have found my daughter to be your girlfriend. But don’t get cocky; I have not approved of you! I have no interest in having you as a son-in-law!"

Xu Qianli said, "Commander Ye, you’ve got it wrong—it’s not my luck in having your daughter as my girlfriend. Even if she weren’t your daughter, she would still be my girlfriend, Xu Qianli’s girlfriend!"

Ye Zhanhua said, "What difference does that make?"

"Of course, it makes a fundamental difference!"

"If you had recognized Meixin early on, and I was pursuing her because she’s the Ye Family’s golden girl, then you’d have every right to stand tall and lecture me."

"But when Meixin and I got together, I had no idea she had this identity. You never once appeared before her to explain anything, so you have no right to make unequal claims about our relationship!"

Ye Zhanhua was stunned by these words, and then a surge of anger boiled up that he couldn’t suppress, "Well, are you accusing me?"

"So what if I am accusing you?"

"You fathered her but did not raise her, abandoning Meixin for a full twenty years, never fulfilling a father’s responsibilities!"

"After she grew up, you suddenly show up, trying to destroy her relationship with me."

"To think I believed you came here today to give me your approval, only to find out you declare I’m unworthy to be your son-in-law."

"Since that’s the case, we don’t need to be polite to you. I hope from now on, you will not try to interfere with our life!"

Xu Qianli said these words with a ferocious intensity. Since Ye Zhanhua was not polite to him, why should he Bi?

Ding Meixin quickly said, "That’s right, since Dad, no, since Commander Ye you want to ruin the relationship between me and my boyfriend, then you are my enemy. We shouldn’t see each other again!"

Ye Zhanhua was immediately stunned, his finger pointing at his own nose.

"Meixin, I am your dad, your birth father. Are you really denying me as your father for him?"

Ding Meixin answered seriously, "My real parents are the couple from Cuiyun Village’s Ding Family, who found and raised me after I was abandoned in the wilderness. They raised me with all the hardship they endured! As for you and me, we are at most related by blood and have no familial affection!"

With a boom, Ye Zhanhua was dazed.

Qin Bijun said, "Alright, Husband, I told you not to think too highly of yourself. You even want to interfere in Meixin’s love life; you’re overestimating yourself. You better approve of Xu Qianli quickly, or else you’re going to lose the daughter you’ve just recently recognized."

Ye Qingmei said, "Dad, don’t be so stubborn. My brother-in-law is a good man, far better than those ’Heavenly Chosen Boys’ you have in mind. Just approve of him."

Faced with such a situation, Ye Zhanhua quickly stepped forward and threw a punch at Xu Qianli’s chest.
