Yes, it must be like that.
His own grandfather, the old Master Xu, was such a remarkable person; it was nothing short of effortless for him to find out about things.
After his father and mother got together, they left the family and moved to Quyang City, and certainly, nothing could escape the old master’s discernnt.
That is to say, over the years, his growing up, including moving to Zhongzhou City to work in the official circles after graduating from university, had all been known by the old master.
It must be said, he was indeed quite ruthless.
So ti ago, when the old County Magistrate died and he was oppressed by the acting County Magistrate, struggling to breathe, nobody lent him a hand.
Xu Qianli didn’t know how strong the Xu Family was, but he was very clear that if the Xu Family exerted just a little energy, they could have easily boosted his career; he wouldn’t have been oppressed by anyone.
Unfortunately, the Xu Family never made a move, and it seed that the old master intentionally wanted to see Xu Qianli’s capabilities, to see if he could get out of the tough situation.
This scenario was likely old Master Xu observing him, Xu Qianli.
If Xu Qianli had no abilities, it was unlikely that the Xu Family would accept him.
Even if Xu Qianli was the old Master Xu’s only grandson, a person without capabilities didn’t deserve to enter the Xu Family.
Fortunately, the Xu Family hadn’t acted; otherwise, he would have owed them a favor, and that really would have been hard to explain.
The Xu Family was powerful, but no matter what, his father had left the Xu Family, and they hadn’t shown any concern for many years; he owed the Xu Family nothing, and he wouldn’t be inferior to anyone in front of them.
Of course, whether or not to return to the Xu Family was more up to Xu Qianli himself.
Even if the Xu Family wanted him to return, if he didn’t want to, the Xu Family had nothing to say.
Seeing Xu Qianli lost in thought, Zhang Xue asked, "Master, what are you thinking about? You’ve been silent and lost in thought, are you thinking about a woman?"
Xu Qianli laughed, pointing to his nose, "So, in your eyes, all I have in my heart are won?"
Zhang Xue laughed and said, "You do have so self-awareness to admit that all you have left in your heart are won. Since I’ve known you, there have been so many won around you; I’m amazed. Even a virile man shouldn’t get involved with so many beauties. Aren’t you afraid you’ll exhaust yourself to death one day?"
"Wow, previously I’ve only seen masters scolding their disciples, but today I’ve seen it all, a disciple scolding their master. Hey you, do you still consider your master?" Xu Qianli said.
"A master can be scolded by a disciple if the master is wrong. I’m not the kind of disciple who just takes things lying down; if you do sothing wrong, I won’t be polite. Also, I just asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend, to deal with my mom so she would stop forcing to go on blind dates. Don’t get the wrong idea; don’t hit on ."
It was just about having Xu Qianli pretend to be her boyfriend to handle her mom, but sohow, her mom took a liking to him during the video call and decided he was the future son-in-law, imdiately wanting them to get married.
What’s all this about? Zhang Xue was amazed by her mom.
From her attitude, it was as if she really couldn’t get married, seizing any man she could to get rid of her daughter as if she feared spoiling in her hands. Was it really necessary?
Zhang Xue, though not a top-level national beauty, was still top-notch in looks.
Her pretty face, slim waist, arms and legs, large breasts, and round buttocks were all very appealing. n weren’t blind; just a finger beckoning from her would have plenty of n chasing after her.
Speaking of which, her mom was too enthusiastic about Xu Qianli, as if she saw so great qualities in him, afraid that he would slip away.
What was so good about him? Although quite impressive, his popularity with won was a bit too good, surrounded by beauties continually, and he had previously been close with that reporter from the provincial station, Su Lei, suspected of having an affair, and who knows, maybe they had even rolled around on the sheets together.
And he already had an official girlfriend, Ding ixin. If she got together with him, wouldn’t she be the mistress? Even if she married him, she’d just be a concubine. How could that be acceptable?
No matter how bad things got for Zhang Xue, she was still the esteed eldest daughter of the Zhang Family, a beautiful woman born with a silver spoon in her mouth. How could she casually marry a man and beco his concubine?
No way, absolutely no way.
After all, Xu Qianli was not suitable for her. She didn’t want any romantic developnt with him.
But for so reason, she had always found Xu Qianli quite pleasing to the eye, seeing him felt just right and influential.
She had never experienced such feelings from any other man before, never.
It wasn’t like no one had pursued her before. She had seen all kinds of wealthy young masters chasing after her beauty and family background, all exceptionally outstanding, but none felt quite like the self-made Xu Qianli. Why was that?
Could it be just because she found him visually appealing, or was it his unique aura?
Those won around him, could they have been deceived by him?
This guy was indeed skilled at deceiving won. Even a strong and beautiful woman like Zi Yumo had fallen for him. It was impossible not to acknowledge his prowess.
Hmm, she needed to be more cautious around him in the future, she definitely couldn’t let him take advantage of her.
As Zhang Xue wrestled with her anxious thoughts, Xu Qianli reached out and scratched her hair, "Co on, don’t look like you’re scared I’ll devour you. I have no interest in you, my silly apprentice. Relax, in my eyes, you are just a pure apprentice, not even a woman. Does that reassure you?"
Reassured?
Not at all reassured!
Not freaking reassured!
Zhang Xue almost spat out blood in frustration.
What did he an by calling her a silly apprentice? Not treating her as a woman?
Where on my arms or legs do I not look like a woman, that he shouldn’t treat as one?
It was one thing to guard against Xu Qianli; it was another to not be favored by him. Zhang Xue was furious and glared fiercely at Xu Qianli, "Master, you are a jerk. How did I end up with such a detestable master like you! Humph, I’m ignoring you."
With that, Zhang Xue stord off, running away from this infuriating master. She didn’t even want to deal with him anymore and just ran off.
As Xu Qianli watched Zhang Xue leave, he shrugged his shoulders and did not chase after her. Instead, he lit a cigarette and turned to leave.
After running so distance, Zhang Xue looked back only to see that not only had Xu Qianli not followed, but he had also walked away. She was incredibly incensed.
So, my stinky master, just because I told you not to follow, you really didn’t? Why are you so obedient now?
It’s one thing if I tell you not to follow , but whether you follow or not is another matter, and you are really infuriating.
As Zhang Xue fud, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and was greeted by a ssage from her mom.
"Xue’er, Mom just checked the calendar, and the sixth day of next month is an auspicious day for weddings. Why don’t you guys go ahead and handle the wedding banquet then?"
Slapping her forehead, Zhang Xue was utterly speechless, "Mom, oh Mom, if Xu Qianli is so great, why are you so eager for him to be your son-in-law?"
