The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 750

Chapter 750: Chapter 750

Mo Yudie could never have dreamed that Xu Qianli was actually that bastard.

Despite being the Xu Family’s legitimate grandson, he had put on such a convincing act in front of her, pretending to be just an ordinary person. It was truly despicable.

She had poured out her troubles to him, only to realize she had been deceived all along.

Now, looking back, she felt like a complete clown.

"Xu Qianli, you’ve infuriated me, I’ll fight you! How dare you fool me, watch me make a fool of myself, I must deal with you harshly!"

Mo Yudie wished she could strangle Xu Qianli, that jerk was too much to handle.

Xu Qianli said, "Calm down, how could I possibly be the Young Master Xu, it must be Hongyan who’s mistaken."

Mo Hongyan asked, "Then tell me, what’s your father’s name?"

"My dad’s name is Xu Zhi. Yes, it’s the same name as the only son of Old Master Xu from Beijing that Hongyan mentioned, but such a name isn’t unusual. There must be many people with the same name, surely it’s just a coincidence."

Xu Qianli still couldn’t believe what Mo Hongyan was saying.

Indeed, his own father was named Xu Zhi, just an average lawyer in Quyang City, owning a law firm with a few friends and nothing extraordinary.

If he really was the sole heir of some Old Master Xu, with such a distinguished status, wouldn’t he find such an ordinary life unacceptable?

His mother had once told him that his background was not simple, but it couldn’t possibly mean he was the Xu Family’s legitimate grandson.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Seeing Xu Qianli’s disbelief, Mo Hongyan pressed on, "Is your mother’s name Chen Wen?"

"Yes," Xu Qianli nodded.

"Do you know which family your mother came from? She’s from the leading wealthy family in the region, the prestigious Chen Family that holds sway over nine provinces in the southeast! She’s not only from the Chen Family but also the only daughter of the Chen Family’s patriarch. Both the Xu and Chen families are top-tier, super-wealthy clans. The Xu Family reigns supreme in Beijing, formidable and influential. The Chen Family, on the other hand, dominates a territory with a widely recognized name. Our Mo Family from Wangdong Province is formidable enough, but we cannot compare to either the Xu or Chen families."

"What’s more crucial, Old Master Xu only has your father, Xu Zhi, as his sole son. And the old patriarch Chen also has only your mother as his only daughter, with an adopted son who is your uncle. Your uncle only has one daughter. For the third generation of direct descendants, you are it. If you wish, you can become the heir to either side."

"Now, you should realize how prestigious your background really is."

Mo Hongyan methodically stripped away Xu Qianli’s identity, laying bare his illustrious status.

She was born into a wealthy Beijing family and married into the Mo Family of Wangdong Province, having seen many powerful individuals, she was no stranger to impressive figures.

Yet, someone like Xu Qianli, born with a silver spoon and with both his grandfather and maternal grandfather being such powerful figures, commanding respect and with unparalleled connections, was someone she had never encountered before.

Despite her reluctance to acknowledge Xu Zhi and Chen Wen, she couldn’t help but admit their son Xu Qianli was truly formidable.

If he so chose, the things he could possess were endless.

Xu Qianli fell silent.

Although it was quite sudden and overly stimulating, it wasn’t entirely unbelievable.

After all, he had already received quite a bit of information from his parents before, and what Mo Hongyan had said matched up.

He indeed used to go to Beijing with his parents to visit his grandparents when he was younger, and they lived in a rather special compound there.

It was there that he had met Ji Yunxi, whose father was now the Provincial Party Secretary of Longhai Province.

His cousin, Chen Nolan, had blurted out the secret of her uncle being adopted by her grandfather in order to get him to agree to marry her.

His mother had once said that if he wanted, his background could be stronger than anyone else’s.

Combining all this, what Mo Hongyan said might be true, and he really could be the Young Master Xu, the Chen Family’s external grandson.

He should have been excited, but for some reason, Xu Qianli quickly calmed down, his reaction rather bland.

Beside him, Mo Yudie’s eyes widened, fixating on Xu Qianli and seeing his indifferent demeanor, she almost blurted out, "What’s the matter with you, knowing your ancestry is so impressive, why are you so calm? Could it be that you’re so shocked, you don’t know how to react? It makes sense, though. Coming from a rather ordinary background and suddenly finding out you have such illustrious ancestry could definitely stun you. Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? You haven’t turned into an idiot, have you?"

Xu Qianli said, "Go on, stop making a fuss, I’m thinking about things—about visiting my grandparents with my parents when I was a child. My grandparents seemed very ordinary and kind. Are they really that formidable?"

Others might not have seen his grandfather, but Xu Qianli remembered him clearly—just a small old man who spent his days tinkering with carpentry in the courtyard, looking nothing special.

Mo Hongyan couldn’t help but laugh, sarcastically saying, "He’s your grandfather, of course, he would be kind to you, and you wouldn’t be able to feel his authority and power. Oh, right, let me ask you, when you were with him, did you ever see him tinker with woodworking? Mr. Xu’s greatest hobby in life was his carpentry. Yudie’s own grandfather, when he was alive, had obtained a chair made by Mr. Xu, which he treasured dearly. He took great care to preserve it, and it was even buried with him after his death."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yudie couldn’t help but chitter away.

"So that’s what happened. I was wondering. Back when I was a kid, I wanted to touch that chair just for fun, and my grandpa, who was so dear to me, scolded me fiercely, telling me never to touch it again. I thought he was just being grumpy, but now I realize what was really going on."

"Xu Qianli, you’re impressive, with such a formidable grandfather and powerful maternal grandfather, it seems you really don’t need the Mo Family’s assistance. It’s strange, though—if your background is so strong, why haven’t you revealed it all along? Instead, you allowed yourself to be bullied, getting transferred from Longhai Province to here in Wangdong Province."

Regarding Xu Qianli’s resume, Mo Yudie had made sure to have it thoroughly checked out.

Xu Qianli’s recent transfer to Wangdong Province seemed to be because he had offended someone and was moved as part of a plan to deal with him.

The person taking action was only Fu Guotai, the County Party Secretary of Cailin County under Hai City.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a County Party Secretary is absolutely mighty, tremendously powerful with staggering energy.

However, in the eyes of the Xu and Chen Family’s level of existence, he wouldn’t amount to even a sprout of bean, so how could he influence the movements of a figure like Xu Qianli?

Xu Qianli spoke, "I only learned of such an illustrious background today."

"So, you mean to say that before this, you had no idea about your own background? The Xu Family and the Chen Family have never given you any help in your career, and you reached your current position entirely on your own?"

"You’re something, Xu Qianli. With such a powerful background and not using it, but climbing up the hard way on your own, is it worth it?"
