The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: The Gloating Xiang Weinan

Shu Yu and Kong Zhiyou can’t be considered friends, but they have met before.

This is her client, and if they want to visit and congratulate her, how could she disagree?

”I forgot to send her an invitation, but I’m naturally happy to welcome her,” she said.

Ding Yuehua understood, and the two chatted while eating.

After chatting with Shu Yu for a while, Ding Yuehua’s face no longer looked as unpleasant as before. She was quite tired from rushing back from Donggu County; after leaving the restaurant, the two parted ways, with Ding Yuehua heading straight back to the Fan family.

Shu Yu initially planned to visit Yiren Pavilion, but with the delay, she lost the inclination to go.

Though she reassured Ding Yuehua, she still kept the matter regarding County Magistrate Zhang in mind.

Since she couldn’t go to the prefecture now, she might as well inquire about that person in detail.

With this in mind, Shu Yu turned on her heel and walked in another direction.

Ying Xi hurriedly followed, ”Miss, where are we going?”

”To find someone to ask about something.”

Ying Xi was puzzled until they stood at the entrance of the county office, and then she realized.

Is Miss going to inquire with the county magistrate?

Shu Yu was a familiar face at the county office; the guard at the entrance escorted her inside to drink tea in the front hall, then rushed to report to Xiang Weinan.

Xiang Weinan approached with a laugh, ”Village Chief Lu Xiang must be busy these days, how do you have time to come find me?”

He sat down opposite Shu Yu and poured himself a cup of tea. ”Alright, what brings you here?”

”I’m here to ask you about someone.”

”Who?”

”County Magistrate Zhang of Dongan Province.”

Xiang Weinan set down his teacup, furrowing his brows in thought before recalling who this County Magistrate Zhang was.

”Why are you inquiring about her?”

Shu Yu shrugged and explained what Ding Yuehua had said earlier.

Xiang Weinan was suspicious of his own ears, ”Seriously? Her brother still wants to propose to your family? The Zhang family sure think highly of themselves.”

Hmm, was that a compliment?

Shu Yu was amused and couldn’t help but smile.

However, the next moment, Xiang Weinan suddenly gloated, ”Does Yun know about this? Imagine if I told him that someone is eyeing his person; would he go straight to the Zhang family?”

”Are you trying to add chaos to the world? Aren’t you aware he’s currently so busy his feet barely touch the ground?” Though Meng Yunzheng hadn’t said, Shu Yu knew he was very occupied; several letters had arrived from the capital, suggesting the situation there was becoming more tense.

Originally, Shu Yu thought he was about to return to the capital. She asked him twice, and each time he said to wait a little longer.

She previously thought the timing wasn’t right, but when she discussed her coming-of-age ceremony with her family yesterday, she suddenly realized—was he planning to wait until she had her most important birthday before leaving?

But if he didn’t leave, it meant more things and preparations needed to be done.

Right now, Shu Yu was actually looking forward to her birthday coming sooner.

In this regard, Xiang Weinan was even more aware than Shu Yu; he was equally busy, overwhelmed with work. So he simply joked a bit in front of her and didn’t really add to his burdens.

He coughed lightly, ”Alright, alright, I won’t say more.”

Look at how nervous you are, it’s not like you’re married yet, right?

Only then was Shu Yu satisfied, ”Now, let’s talk about County Magistrate Zhang. From what you said earlier, it sounds like this County Magistrate Zhang isn’t an extraordinary figure?”

Xiang Weinan’s words seemed to suggest that even as a county magistrate, she wasn’t superior to her as Village Chief.
