The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 877
CHAPTER 877: CHAPTER 877
Gao Mei was also ready to throw caution to the wind and promised everything.
Seeing her submissive demeanor, Lan Mengni couldn’t help but snicker and said softly, "Do you think I have designs on you? Don’t get it wrong. You may be beautiful, but not to the extent that I’d be interested in you."
"What do you mean then?"
Gao Mei was confused; Lan Mengni first praised her, her gaze like a wolf, almost wanting to devour her.
How could she clarify now after agreeing?
Could it be she’s teasing me deliberately, or is there some other motive?
With a couple of dry chuckles, Gao Mei said, "Mengni, yes, I admit, when you were with my son before, I wasn’t good to you, always pushing for a divorce. But there was a reason! You couldn’t have children, and I only have Zhu Liang, can’t let the Zhu Family end. It’s all in the past, don’t hold it against me, forgive me."
After hearing Gao Mei’s words, Lan Mengni was furious beyond belief.
How could Gao Mei dare to say such things!
Back when she was in the Zhu Family, she did everything she could to serve her husband and respect her in-laws; she was as virtuous as could be.
And what did she get in return?
Betrayed by Zhu Liang, pressured by her in-laws, and divorced.
Unable to hold back, Lan Mengni lashed out in anger.
"Ugh, how dare you ask for forgiveness? Why couldn’t I have children? Do you really not know in your heart? It’s not that I can’t conceive, but your son Zhu Liang fooled around so much with other women and damaged his health with alcohol and drugs, making him infertile. You knew the truth but blamed it on me, and you have the nerve to ask for forgiveness? Unreal!"
"Let me tell you, when I married into your Zhu Family, I was devoted enough to both Liang and you, yet you treated me like that. None of you are any good!"
"Forget it; the past is the past. I’m tired of disputing this with you. If it weren’t for Zhu Liang being my ex-husband, and me being foolish enough, I wouldn’t even try to help him. I’ll help him, but with such a big sacrifice, don’t expect empty promises to suffice, you must give something tangible."
"As for what kind of tangible, it’s simple, I need you to accompany Xu Qianli today!"
The condition was set, now it was up to Gao Mei to agree.
If she didn’t agree, Lan Mengni wouldn’t insist, not bothering to accompany that so-called Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law, better to let Zhu Liang fend for himself.
After all, she tried her best; it’s not that she doesn’t want to save him, it’s Gao Mei who won’t agree to the conditions. Zhu Liang’s fate isn’t on her.
Gao Mei heard Lan Mengni’s condition, and her face grew unpredictable.
She had planned to renege afterwards, who would have thought Lan Mengni would be cunning enough to make her visit Xu Qianli first, what’s with that?
To save her son Zhu Liang, she’d accompany the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law, she could agree to that.
But to first accompany Lan Mengni’s new flame Xu Qianli, what nonsense is that.
No way, she was unwilling, incredibly unwilling.
Yet, considering Zhu Liang’s life, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
Alas, if it meant saving her son’s life, Gao Mei would do anything; to accompany the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law or Xu Qianli, she agreed.
Hopefully, neither of those men are strong in certain aspects, she could handle it easily, she could just consider being bitten by a dog.
Lan Mengni laughed, "Glad you agreed. Since you agreed, alright, I’ll immediately book a ticket to Wangdong Province. A beautiful woman like you going, I’m sure Xu Qianli will love it."
Gao Mei blurted out, "Going today? Isn’t it too rushed?"
Though she’d heard of women traveling afar for love or money, Gao Mei never imagined such a day would come for her, it was on her now.
Moreover, Lan Mengni was so eager, already ready to visit Xu Qianli, she wasn’t mentally prepared.
Lan Mengni said, "Remember, the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law said he’d visit Beijing within two days, expecting us to accompany him. He could see us tomorrow, expect our company tomorrow. If you don’t accompany Xu Qianli before then, our deal is nullified; I have no interest in accompanying the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law. So, what have you decided?"
"No need to consider, I agree, I agree. You book the ticket, I’ll go home and prepare, see you at the airport later."
Gao Mei agreed without hesitation.
She was unwilling to travel afar for Xu Qianli, but to make Lan Mengni sacrifice to save Zhu Liang, she had no choice.
Fine, for her son, she’d take this journey giving warmth to Xu Qianli.
Hopefully, Xu Qianli would be easy to handle, hopefully it’d be over quickly.
That settled it, both separated, each going home.
Upon reaching home, Gao Mei returned to her bedroom, busy cleaning and dressing up.
First, she took a bath, applied body lotion, looked in the mirror, even Gao Mei felt a bit tempted.
Truly a stunning beauty, even in her forties, with grown kids, she remained beautiful, deserving of the title top-tier beauty, no wonder the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law was interested.
With such a top-tier allure, what man wouldn’t like her, especially a prominent figure like Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law.
Who knows what the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law is like, whether handsome or not.
Regarding Xu Qianli, Gao Mei had long investigated him, young and handsome, brimming with masculinity, no wonder the Lan family sisters were smitten and followed him.
Thinking of soon flying to Wangdong Province, exploiting Xu Qianli, the handsome fellow, Gao Mei was both apprehensive and shy, even felt a shameful trace of anticipation.
After applying the body lotion for more delicate skin, Gao Mei hurried to pick clothes, selecting a scanty set of fiery red underwear.
Her ample bust barely fit into the bra, the bottom’s fabric even less, if she stood before a man in this, she doubted any man could resist.
Next, she picked a highly seductive deep-vulg green red dress to wear, its tight-fitting fabric perfectly displaying her perfectly curvy alluring figure, truly deadly.
Holding her bust with both hands, lightly biting her lip, twisting her waist, gazing at the mirror’s breathtaking beauty, Gao Mei was indeed captivated by herself.
So beautiful, exceptionally beautiful, beautiful and sensually alluring, with mature womanly charm, worthy of the title top-tier beauty, incredibly beautiful, full of charm.
Gao Mei was admiring herself when Zhu Liang’s father Zhu Dachang entered the room, his face darkened with rage, "Our son’s captured by the Bai family, and you take the time to dress up provocatively, what are you planning, going to have an affair?"
