The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Chapter 749

After a full hour or two, Xu Qianli, dressed neatly, came downstairs accompanied by the ultimate maids Tao Hong and Liu Lv, and approached Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie.

Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie had already eaten breakfast and were sitting together chatting. When they saw him coming down, they both looked over.

Xu Qianli had changed into a new outfit, looking incredibly smart and dashing.

As for Tao Hong and Liu Lv, already beautiful, they now appeared even more radiant and lovely, their complexions extraordinarily fine.

However, for some reason, both maids seemed to be walking somewhat awkwardly, occasionally frowning slightly as if they were in some sort of pain.

No need to guess, Mo Hongyan knew exactly what had happened; Xu Qianli must have used on the maids the same tactics he had inflicted on her last night.

She was fine herself, being a beautiful woman and managing to cope.

But the two maids, Tao Hong and Liu Lv, were just over twenty and had never been in love before; they were definitely not used to handling such things with their master, which was why their walking seemed unsteady.

Xu Qianli really was shameless, showing no tenderness or pity at all.

Mo Yudie pouted, half-closing her eyes, and unhappily glared at Xu Qianli.

Hmph, you jerk, after winning over my mom, you bullied Tao Hong and Liu Lv, do you want to take over our entire family?

Such a greedy jerk, aren’t you afraid of breaking your back from all the strain!

As Mo Yudie glared at Xu Qianli, Tao Hong suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Family, don’t just keep waiting for Mr. Xu, whether he has done anything bad or not. We were just upstairs chatting and talking, nothing more."

Mo Yudie rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed, "You can hardly walk straight, and yet you have the nerve to say you did nothing? Hmph, shameless hussy!"

Despite the insult, Tao Hong didn’t feel embarrassed at all but rather became even more spirited, "Hehehe, Miss, you’re so honest, I am indeed a little flirty, but many men like it, you know? Maybe you should try it too, to make some men go completely crazy for you, wishing they could devour you in one bite."

Liu Lv said, "Sister, really, the Miss doesn’t need us to teach her. She’s a grown woman, does she know less than we do? Maybe she’s just too proud to admit it. If it came to being with the man she loves, who knows how passionate she might be. Miss, right?"

Mo Yudie had long been familiar with Tao Hong and Liu Lv’s shamelessness and was speechless.

Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with this shamelessly beautiful duo and turned her gaze towards Xu Qianli.

"Xu Qianli, I need to talk to you about something. You promised to pretend to be my boyfriend, so you need to see it through. There’s a family gathering today, and both my mom and I will be there. If you’re free, you should be our knight in shining armor. Even if you have other plans, cancel them. You must come with us."

I had already discussed it with mom, we had to bring Xu Qianli along no matter what.

Hopefully, he could help resolve the family issues and discourage all those wolves.

Xu Qianli said, "I don’t really have anything special going on today, just a gathering at the Mo Family, but wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to attend?"

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it, as long as you agree. Of course, I won’t let you help for nothing. As long as you help me, I’ll have my mother give you a push to make your career smoother. You should be well aware of our Mo Family’s position in Wangdong Province. With our help, the benefits you can get are huge. You’re really getting a bargain."

Mo Yudie wanted to see how far Xu Qianli could go in his career in the future.

She hoped he would not disappoint her expectations and achieve something significant in the future.

Xu Qianli had already arrived beside the two of them, unceremoniously sitting between them, one arm around Mo Hongyan’s slender waist and the other holding Mo Yudie’s hand.

"What’s this about benefits? We’re all family here. Just give me a shout if you need help."

"Oh, right, what exactly do those guys in your Mo Family want to force you to do? Is it what you mentioned before, about forcing you to marry a man you don’t like? Who is it? What family is he from, what’s his name, and what does he look like?"

Mo Yudie said, "Why, do you want to help me deal with him? I doubt you have the capability. If I told you his identity, it might scare you to death. He is Young Master Xu from one of the top distinguished families in Beijing, the legitimate grandson of Old Master Xu, who can shake the world with a single stamp of his foot. As for his name and what he looks like, I really don’t know. I’ve heard that not many people in Beijing know either; he’s quite a mystery."

Xu Qianli slapped Mo Yudie’s thigh, "Turns out it’s that bastard! And that Old Master Xu as well, isn’t it just about finding a granddaughter-in-law? Just pick anyone with a good family background, character, and looks. Is there a need to make such a big fuss about a selection, almost like he wants to gather all the most outstanding women in the world for his grandson."

"Exactly, that grandson is simply unbearably wicked. Does he really need so many beautiful women? Can he even take care of them all? He’s not afraid of wearing himself out..."

Mo Yudie agreed fervently with Xu Qianli’s words, continuously ranting and eventually outright cursing the Xu Family’s legitimate grandson.

That guy had been skulking around for so many years, his identity and even his appearance unknown. He might look like a pig—too ugly to show his face, which is why he dared not reveal himself.

As she spoke, Mo Hongyan couldn’t help but giggle, her eyes gleaming as she watched Xu Qianli and Mo Yudie.

She laughed so radiantly, her eyes strangely amused, which puzzled Xu Qianli, "Hongyan, darling, what’s wrong with you? Why do you have such a strange look in your eyes? And why keep laughing at me? Am I that funny?"

Mo Hongyan chuckled, "You’re not just funny; you’re hilariously absurd. Who else would talk about themselves in such a way? Yudie is cursing you, and you’re even agreeing, making it even more hilarious."

"Cursing me?" Xu Qianli pointed to his nose, confused.

Mo Yudie said, "I was just now cursing Old Master Xu’s grandson, not Xu Qianli here. What’s it got to do with him?"

Mo Hongyan said, "How can it not be related? Do you guys know who Old Master Xu’s grandson is?"

Mo Yudie shrugged, "How would I know? But it definitely can’t be Xu Qianli. They both may share the Xu surname, but it definitely isn’t him."

Mo Hongyan said, "How are you so sure it’s not him? Come on, I’ll tell you who Old Master Xu’s only son is. His name is Xu Zhi. Now you understand."

At that, Mo Yudie sprang up, staring incredulously at Xu Qianli, unable to take her eyes off him as if seeing something bizarre, "Isn’t your dad Xu Zhi? Turns out, you are the eldest young master from the top distinguished Xu Family of Beijing, the legitimate grandson of Old Master Xu, the damn man those wolves in our Xu Family were forcing me to marry!"
