Chapter 873: Chapter 873

On the other end of the line, Lan Qianrong was inspecting the progress of a tourism project at a construction site in Jiangcheng Qingshan Town. After the call connected with Xu Qianli, hearing that word “wife” warmed her heart, and she softly replied, “Husband, can’t I call you whenever there’s nothing wrong?”

That word “husband” rolled off Lan Qianrong’s tongue so naturally. Her voice was sweet, like a young girl in her first love.

Hmph, who told her to give both her body and her heart to that bad man Xu Qianli? Calling him “husband” doesn’t mean much.

“Of course you can, anytime you want, wife. It’s been so many days since we last met. Have you missed me, wife?”

Lan Qianrong said, “Even if I have, so what? Can you just fly over to Jiang City?”

“Of course, as long as you want, I can return to Jiang City anytime to see you. Then we can have a nice gathering. Heheheheh, you better be mentally prepared. When the time comes, I won’t be gentle with you, I’ll make sure you can’t walk properly for days.”

This…

Lan Qianrong’s face blushed with two red clouds. That scoundrel Xu Qianli, always thinking about that.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Qianrong said seriously, “Alright, stop thinking about bullying me, and don’t come back to Jiang City so soon. You just started working in Cailin County; it’s time to show your abilities. The most important thing for you now is to do your job well. Oh, by the way, I heard about your situation in Cailin County, Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang assigned you to work on water conservancy. Do you have any ideas?”

“Not much of an idea. Since they want me to work on water conservancy, I’ll just make some efforts on that. Don’t you know your husband’s capability? Even with water conservancy, I can make something happen; I won’t let them hold me down forever.”

Lan Qianrong said, “Mm-hmm, I trust you with your work. I believe you can solve work issues yourself, so I won’t say much more. Actually, I called today to inquire about something. Zhu Liang was captured by the Bai Family. Did you have a hand in that?”

“What, Zhu Liang was caught by the Bai Family? What happened there? What did this brat Zhu Liang do to provoke the Bai Family? He dared to provoke them, how audacious.”

Lan Qianrong was all ears, listening to Xu Qianli’s words, which made it seem like it had nothing to do with him.

Could she have guessed wrong, and Zhu Liang’s issue had nothing to do with Xu Qianli?

But that’s not right. Who exactly is the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law, she didn’t know, but she did hear Xu Qianli mention he had a connection with the Bai Family’s daughter, so he would logically be the one.

Still feeling suspicious, Lan Qianrong said, “I’m saying, husband, aren’t you avoiding telling me so that I won’t plead for Zhu Liang? Don’t forget, you once told me about Bai Yanran, aren’t you the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law? How can Zhu Liang getting caught by the Bai Family have nothing to do with you? Let’s be clear, I’m just asking, not planning to plead for him.”

“Alright, since you’re putting it that way, wife, I admit, this matter indeed has something to do with me. Here’s how it went down…”

Detail by detail, Xu Qianli recounted the incident.

Learning that Zhu Liang was insane enough to want to kill his own sister Zhu Yue to vie for family heir status and implicate Xu Qianli, Lan Qianrong was infuriated, “Beast, truly a beast! That guy deserves a thousand cuts! Husband, you did well, he deserves to die!”

Lan Qianrong was furious beyond measure.

She always thought Zhu Liang was worthless, but now she knows he’s sunken to such despicable lows.

Her own beautiful sister, Lan Mengni, how could she have married such a jerk back then?

It’s fortunate they divorced later; it’s like heaven had eyes, letting her sister escape that scumbag Zhu Liang.

In the midst of their chat, Lan Qianrong suddenly sensed something off, “Hey, husband, why does your voice sound so strange, and why are you breathing so heavily?”

“Nothing, nothing much, I’m running, tired.”

Running?

Lan Qianrong’s eyes quickly shifted, her brows slightly furrowing, and she quickly spoke.

“Running? I guess you’re up to no good with a woman, huh? Is it Zhu Yue? You saved that little vixen, did you get with her afterward? Is that pretty woman currently being enjoyed by you on the bed?”

“Wow, husband, you’re impressive. Took down Zhu Liang, now grabbing Zhu Yue, truly remarkable.”

“Zhu Liang’s ex-wife, my sister is your woman now, and his sister is taken by you too. That’s quite something. Well done, make sure to handle Zhu Yue, thrash her, remember what the Zhu Family owes us Lan Family!”

“My sister, being so beautiful and gentle, was tormented when she married into the Zhu Family; you should definitely get revenge! Xu Qianli, I hope you can even take down Zhu Liang’s mom and become his stepdad, that’s the only way I’d be satisfied!”

Lan Qianrong got more excited as she spoke, wishing Xu Qianli really could take down Zhu Liang’s mother.

It was said she had given birth early, only in her forties now, and because she took care of herself well, she looked just over thirty, her skin so delicate it seemed she’d ooze water, and her eyes were enchanting, pleasant to behold, known in Beijing as a superb beauty.

If such a woman fell into Xu Qianli’s hands, she’d probably be tormented to death by him.

Speaking increasingly excitedly, Lan Qianrong decided she must make this happen to fiercely retaliate against the Zhu Family, who had mistreated her sister Lan Mengni over the years.

While she was saying this, suddenly Zhu Yue’s voice emerged over the phone, “Lan Qianrong, you’re going too far! I’ll admit our Zhu Family wronged my sister-in-law, but it was all my brother’s fault, nothing to do with the whole Zhu Family. How can you vent your anger on the entire Zhu Family and even target my mom? No, you can’t, absolutely cannot! I’ve already with Xu Qianli, don’t you dare think of targeting my mom!”

Haha, so it was Zhu Yue, Lan Qianrong chuckled and said, “I knew it was you fooling around with Xu Qianli. Usually, you act all serious, as if no man can meet your standards, but the moment you saw Xu Qianli, you gave up the pretense and jumped into bed that fast, have you no shame? As for you saying that my sister was just bullied by that scum Zhu Liang is laughable, because my sister couldn’t conceive, didn’t your Zhu Family put immense pressure and torment her throughout these years? Now, it’s payback time for your Zhu Family! Husband, give her a good pounding, let her not get out of bed for days. As for other things, I’ll arrange them, you just wait to enjoy the blessings of having all the beauties.”

After speaking, Lan Qianrong hurriedly hung up the phone.

Hmph, Zhu Family, how you’ve treated my sister Lan Mengni over the years, I’ve seen it all.

Clearly, it was Zhu Liang who overindulged outside, hurting his fertility, yet you all placed the blame on my sister Lan Mengni and severely criticized her.

This debt, it’s time to settle it with you all!
