95: Chapter 95: Blind Date, a Feeling Like an Electric Shock!

Hearing what Xu Qianli had said, the faces of Xu Wangshan, Li Qiuyue, and Xu Qiangqiang instantly turned green.

Xu Qiangqiang, who had a hot temper, started yelling at the top of his lungs, ready to rush at Xu Qianli and fight him to the death.

Li Qiuyue quickly grabbed him, urging him not to be impulsive.

Xu Wangshan took out a cigarette and offered it to Xu Qianli, putting on a smile and trying to play the sympathy card, asking him to show mercy.

Xu Qianli pushed away Xu Wangshan’s hand.

“Don’t try to get chummy with me, and stop playing the sympathy card—you don’t deserve it!”

“Not only the house, but the jobs that you old thing and Xu Qiangqiang have are arranged by me.

Before, when you saw my business in trouble, you incited Xu Shuman to break up with me and kicked me out, right?

Now I’ll take back the jobs I gave you.”

“I’ve already spoken to your leaders; I estimate the dismissal notice will come down soon.

You better start looking for jobs right away, otherwise, if you starve to death in the streets, nobody will care.”

The three members of the Xu family, already looking quite bad, went into complete panic upon hearing their jobs were at stake.

Li Qiuyue busied herself with begging Xu Qianli, Xu Qiangqiang was so agitated he nearly kneeled, and Xu Wangshan outright fainted.

Xu Qianli couldn’t be bothered to watch these three disgusting figures and collected their keys before throwing them out the door.

After sending off the three, Xu Qianli took Xu Lele’s small hand.

“Lele, do you think I’m too ruthless?

Treating your parents and brother like this—aren’t I in the wrong?”

Xu Lele shook her head.

“All I know is that before we met Brother Xu, we barely scraped by, the five of us crammed into one small room, barely having space to stretch our legs.”

“After meeting you, you provided this big, spacious, and beautiful house for us to live in, you were the one supporting the family, the one who found good jobs for my dad and brother, and even made my sister the star of the county dance troupe.

The school I’m attending now was also arranged by you.”

“You’ve done nothing but good for our family, and especially for me these past three years, far better than how my parents, sister, and brother have treated me.”

“Don’t laugh, but before I met you, all those years, I just wore my sister’s hand-me-downs.

Only after meeting you did I get to wear new clothes.”

“I might not know much else, but one thing I do know very clearly is that we owe all our good days to you.”

“After all the good you did for them, and how they treated you when your business hit a low, it’s only right for you to take back everything you gave them.”

“Even though they are my parents and brother, I won’t side with them, because they are in the wrong!”

Xu Lele might have been young, just eighteen years old, but she understood the difference between gratitude and grudges.

She was very clear about how much favor Xu Qianli had bestowed upon the Xu family after her sister met him and became his girlfriend.

They should have been grateful, but they weren’t, so naturally, Xu Qianli had the right to reclaim everything he had given to them.

Xu Qianli gently ruffled Xu Lele’s hair.

“Good girl, truly a good girl.”

“Rest assured, even though I’m displeased with them, in my heart, you’ve always been the most innocent and kind girl.

They’ve abandoned you—but I want you.

From now on, I, Xu Qianli, will take care of you!”

Xu Qianli had already made up his mind—he was going to take care of Xu Lele for a lifetime.

Listening to Xu Qianli’s tender words, Xu Lele’s eyes suddenly blurred, tears unstoppable, she threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, hugging his waist and sobbing heavily.

Just yesterday, her parents and brother had abandoned her to move to the new house; she had been devastated.

Now, at last, she had support again.

Xu Qianli took out a card and stuffed it into Xu Lele’s hand.

“Alright, no more crying.

Take this card, the PIN is your sister’s birthday; spend it freely, absolutely no need to save money for me.

I’ve still got things to do and need to step out for a bit, gotta go.”

Wishing he could spend more time with Xu Lele but unable to, Xu Qianli hurried out the door, heading straight for the Tianranju restaurant.

Right on time, Xu Qianli finally managed to arrive just in time.

Sun Yan had already been there, waiting all along, and was finally able to see him coming, immediately feeling a surge of irritation.

“Why have you just arrived now?

Don’t you know to come earlier?”

“I’m telling you, the girl’s side is already here, waiting in the private room.

Hurry up and come with me.”

“Let’s go!”

After giving Xu Qianli a telling-off, Sun Yan was about to take him to the private room.

Xu Qianli, who hadn’t been afraid even of the mayor’s son at this place yesterday, suddenly felt intimidated at the prospect of meeting the girl from the blind date and quickly grabbed Sun Yan.

“Sister Sun, are we going to meet now?”

“How about we wait a bit, give me some time to adjust my mindset.”

Sun Yan rolled her eyes, said impatiently, “The girl isn’t scared, why does a big man like you need to adjust his mindset?

Just put on the thick skin you have when you’re with me.

Don’t dawdle, hurry up.

We can’t keep her waiting too long and make a bad impression.”

Without giving Xu Qianli a chance to refuse, Sun Yan dragged him to the reserved private room.

“Xiao Ding, here’s the guy, now look at this.

Did your Sister Sun lie to you, huh?”

Upon hearing Sun Yan’s words, the gazes of the two women in the private room simultaneously darted over and settled on the somewhat awkward Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli stiffly entered the room, and as he turned to look at the girl he was supposed to be set up with, he was astonished to find there were two girls there.

And he actually recognized one of them…

Liu Qian!

Liu Qian also recognized Xu Qianli, and suddenly stood up.

“Xu Qianli, how can it be you?”

Liu Qian stared intently at Xu Qianli, never in her wildest dreams expecting that the man who had come for the blind date would be this guy!

Xu Qianli was just as baffled.

The girl next to Liu Qian looked from Xu Qianli to Liu Qian, “Cousin, you’ve met him before?”

Liu Qian said, “Yes, I know him, we just met yesterday at the hospital.

I never thought that your blind date would be him.

Xu Qianli, I didn’t see this coming, that you’re the Government Office Director!”

Liu Qian was overwhelmed with emotions; she truly never expected that as she accompanied her cousin for a blind date, the cousin’s date would turn out to be Xu Qianli.

Hold on, she had heard that the Government Office Director’s last name was Xu, and Xu Qianli had claimed to work at the County Government just the day before.

How had she not connected the dots sooner?

The current situation was beyond awkward for her, and she had no idea how to handle it.

Xu Qianli was even more dumbfounded.

The close friend of his blind date was the woman who had almost had the most intimate encounter with him the night before.

What a mess!

Xu Qianli’s blind date extended a fair, delicate hand towards him, a warm and comforting smile on her pretty face.

“Director Xu, nice to meet you, I’m Ding Meixin, the music teacher at Qingshan Town Middle School.

I’m really happy to meet you.”

“Um, nice to meet you.” Xu Qianli shook Ding Meixin’s gentle hand, and as they touched, it was as if an electric current ran through them, making his spine tingle.

Ding Meixin felt the same sensation, and for a moment, both of them were stupefied, staring at each other, not understanding why this was happening.

The matchmaker Sun Yan glanced from one to the other, smiling as she spoke.

“I knew it, you two are a match made in heaven, a perfect pairing.

I knew you would hit it off right away.”

“Alright, from now on, Xiao Ding is your girlfriend, Xu Qianli.

You better cherish and treat her well.”

“If you dare to mistreat her, I’ll be the first one not to forgive you!”
