The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 400: Zhang Xue, The Minister’s Daughter!

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Zhang Xue, The Minister’s Daughter!

Not only was Zhou Man Na stunned, but most of the people present were also dumbfounded.

In the company, who didn’t know Zhou Xianrong was a mad protector of his daughter? Whenever his precious daughter, Zhou Man Na, felt the slightest slight, he would not let anyone who crossed her get away.

Once, an executive in the company was severely beaten and then fired just because he glanced at Zhou Man Na’s full chest a bit too long, on her complaint to Zhou Xianrong.

Several female employees were directly fired by Zhou Xianrong for being young and beautiful, which provoked the jealousy of Zhou Man Na, who was already a mature woman, and he even went so far as to forbid any company from hiring them.

Such a man was now publicly slapping Zhou Man Na’s face, loudly scolding her, and threatening to kick her out of the family.

The crowd couldn’t help but be curious about the phone call that had caused such a change in Zhou Xianrong, wondering who on earth he had called.

Seeing Zhou Man Na still in a daze, Zhou Xianrong said urgently, "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said? Immediately kneel down to Lan Mengni and apologize!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xianrong raised his hand, as if to strike again.

"Dad, don’t hit me. I’ll kneel, isn’t that enough?"

Thump, Zhou Man Na knelt before Lan Mengni, kneeling humiliated, continuously kowtowing.

"Mengni, I was wrong, I admit my mistake."

"I shouldn’t have tried to steal your husband, I shouldn’t have..."

Zhou Man Na kept kowtowing and apologizing, hoping to receive Lan Mengni’s forgiveness.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that such a day would come.

Lan Mengni was somewhat stunned by the scene unfolding before her.

Zhou Man Na actually kneeling and apologizing to her seemed too unreal, but it was indeed happening.

She had known Zhou Man Na for many years and always thought their friendship was good, but then had her husband stolen by her, so the distress she felt was beyond words.

Now, seeing Zhou Man Na kneeling and pleading for mercy, she felt a dark satisfaction, yet she was still furious, unable to quench her anger.

In a moment of impulse, Lan Mengni grabbed Zhou Man Na’s long hair, forcing her to look up at her face.

"I thought of you as a good friend, my bestie, and you steal my husband. Do you think a few kowtows and an apology will settle everything?"

"You want to calm me down, right? Fine, I’ll give you a chance. I will send you an address later on; dress up beautifully and come to me tonight. If you perform well, we’ll consider the matter closed. Otherwise, this isn’t over!"

Lan Mengni publicly set her conditions.

With those words, she sparked unlimited speculation among many people, some wondering if, despite being a woman, she had a taste for other women. Perhaps she had something in mind with Zhou Man Na for the night?

Two beautiful women, what a waste, some thought.

Xu Qianli said, "Since the matter is settled, let’s go. Secretary Qin, thank you very much for today."

Qin Wen replied, "Mr. Xu, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to alleviate your concerns. Here is my business card. If there is anything you need in the future, please feel free to ask."

Qin Wen took out her business card, bowed at ninety degrees, and presented it with both hands to Xu Qianli with great respect.

After receiving the business card, Xu Qianli quickly left with Lan Qianrong and Lan Mengni, two beautiful women.

The female officer quickly followed after them.

"You’ve really opened my eyes."

"I never imagined the situation could escalate to this point; it seems you are someone who keeps your cards close to your chest."

"I’m not particularly interested in your background, but I wanted to ask, when you said earlier that you’ve never seen a third woman like me, it means you have seen one before, right? Who is she, where is she, and what does she do?"

Xu Qianli replied, "Shouldn’t you introduce yourself before asking others questions?"

"It’s not that I can’t tell you. My name is Zhang Xue, and my dad is the number one at the Ministry of Public Security."

Not only did she reveal her name, but she also directly stated her background, Zhang Xue was quite assertive.

Hearing her introduction, Xu Qianli couldn’t help but reassess her.

Damn, the beautiful policewoman in front of me is actually the daughter of the Ministry of Public Security’s number one, such a background is truly terrifying.

But when it comes to her figure, it’s really good; at the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven, her body is already fully developed and has completely shed its girlish look.

Her gorgeous figure isn’t all that rare, and it’s not the most attention-grabbing thing; rather, it’s that dashing and cool aura of hers, totally captivating, that made Xu Qianli take a couple more glances.

Zhang Xue raised her eyebrows, "What are you looking at? I’m asking you a question, who was it you were talking about?"

"If you want to know, no problem, I’ll tell you."

"She, well, is a year or two older than you, and, you know, she’s more alluring and beautiful than you, with an even tougher approach, exceptional skills, and top-notch work capacity. She also hails from a distinguished family but climbed up the ranks on her own strength, with no one questioning her."

"This woman, she is..."

Xu Qianli, halfway through his sentence, deliberately stopped, leaving Zhang Xue hanging.

Zhang Xue was all ears, waiting for Xu Qianli to drop the name, but then he went silent, which agitated her. She glared at Xu Qianli fiercely, "Well, go on!"

"What’s the rush?"

"I’ll tell you; she’s one of my wives."

"As for her specific identity, if you treat me to a meal, I’ll tell you."

Xu Qianli rubbed his stomach, which had been growling due to hunger since he hadn’t eaten anything all morning.

There’s a sucker to be fleeced, it would be a shame not to take advantage.

Zhang Xue was speechless, wondering what kind of person he was, actually expecting her to pick up the tab.

Lan Qianrong was just shaking her head, embarrassed. How could she have brought Xu Qianli to Beijing? Playing this trick for a meal, wasn’t he embarrassed?

Lan Mengni chuckled and took Zhang Xue’s hand, "It’s a rare opportunity and fate has brought us together. Why not do me the honor? I’ll take you all to someplace delicious."

Lan Mengni wore a radiant smile, gentle as water, and naturally gave off a feeling of approachability. Once she made the offer, Zhang Xue agreed.

Zhang Xue ordered her colleagues to go back to the station, and followed Xu Qianli and the others in search of a restaurant.

Being a true Beijinger, Lan Mengni knew all the good places to eat and quickly guided the group to a restaurant where they began to eat.

At Longxin Group.

Zhu Liang, whose leg was broken, had been taken to the hospital.

Zhou Man Na arrived at her father’s office, looking pitifully at her own dad, "What exactly happened today? Why don’t you love me anymore, even talking about kicking me out of the family? I feel so awful."

Tears were already swirling in her eyes, and she began to cry.

Zhou Xianrong showed no sympathy at all, but instead let out a cold snort and said sternly, "I’m serious. If you can’t get Lan Mengni’s forgiveness, my only choice will be to kick you out of the family! It’s not that I don’t love you, but I have to consider the interests of the family and make such a decision!"

Zhou Xianrong looked solemn; the development of today’s incident had exceeded his expectations.

His daughter, Zhou Man Na, was the cause of the trouble, and she had to resolve the issue; otherwise, she would most certainly be ejected from the family!
