The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Are you blind?”

The shadow screeched, followed by a brief moment of silence. After dancing to a few songs nonstop, Mo Yibai was soaked in sweat, so she had to go offstage to touch up her makeup and took the opportunity to hurry to the restroom. She was in such a rush that she didn’t notice that there was someone at the corner, which was why she bumped into him. Short-tempered as she was, she started off with a rebuke. However, when she looked up, she realized she actually knew the person she had bumped into and hesitated for a moment.

“Why are you here? Are you one of my fans too?” Mo Yibai asked in surprise.

Xiao Shun looked at her speechlessly and then he sidestepped, and walked past her.

“What kind of attitude is that? Come back and apologize!” Mo Yibai exclaimed angrily.

“Miss Mo, there’s no time. People around the stage are all waiting for you. Hurry up,” her assistant urged.

Mo Yibai stomped her foot and stormed into the restroom.

At the same time, Xiao Shun’s phone rang before he had gone anywhere. He took it out and saw it was from Wen Guangliang.

“Mr. Xiao, I wanted to report some progress on Golden Harrow today.”

Xiao Shun decided to listen since he had nothing else to do at the moment.

“Alright, make it brief.”

“Sure.”

Wen Guangliang briefed him on the main sources of income under Golden Harrow, and as he found out, one of them was Cotton Bay. Although Cotton Bay was an entertainment club, it was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Harrow.

“So, I have the right to make decisions about Cotton Bay, right?” Xiao Shun asked.

“Of course. As the chairman of the parent company, you have the right to manage any subsidiary,” Wen Guangliang replied.

“I see. It seems I still have a lot to learn. I’ll have to trouble you and Mr. Cai to take care of the company’s business for now,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

“Once our professional management team starts working, they’ll quickly sort out the businesses of the company. First, we need to deal with the members of the Sikong family who hold key positions in the company. Today, during our financial audit, we found that most of them have been involved in corruption to varying degrees. They are like a group of bloodsuckers, the malignant tumors in those family businesses…”

“You guys can take care of that as you see fit. After all, you’re the major shareholders. If the company does well, we’ll all benefit,” Xiao Shun interrupted.

Wen Guangliang laughed heartily and said enthusiastically, “It seems that the price we paid for acquiring these shares isn’t too high. As long as we can clean up those tumors, I believe its profits will be 50% higher than they are now.”

At that moment, Mo Yibai walked out of the restroom and was in a hurry back to the backstage. When she reached the corner, however, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was the same voice she had heard when she was trapped in the car by Yuxu that night! For an instant, her heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and she quickly turned her head to look at the source of the voice.

Xiao Shun noticed Mo Yibai staring at him with a strange look and thought she must have somehow got angry again. He frowned and thought to himself, ‘What a troublesome woman. Why do I run into her everywhere?’ He then said to Wen Guangliang, “Well, I have some matters to attend to, so I must go now. I’ll leave everything to you and Mr. Cai.”

Wen Guangliang agreed and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Mo Yibai looked at him incredulously, her heart pounding, and stammered, “You are?”

“You misunderstood. I’m not your fan; I’m here with a friend,” Xiao Shun explained, spreading his hands.

“Miss Mo, hurry up! There are so many people waiting for you around the stage!” Mo Yibai’s assistant saw her standing there and urged her to hurry.

Mo Yibai had no choice but to rush towards the backstage.

Xiao Shun watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly. What a small world indeed.

He strolled back to his seat, and by that time, Mo Yibai had already changed into a long gown, regaining her elegant and noble appearance.

The music started again, and her beautiful eyes constantly scanned the audience, eventually resting on Xiao Shun. Her heart jolted once more, and her voice wavered slightly.

So, he was the man who saved me that night…

‘I could never forget that voice. He’s still alive; that’s wonderful.’

She then thought of the things she had said to Xiao Shun before and couldn’t help feeling some mixed emotions.

No matter what, she had to find an opportunity to apologize to him and thank him.

Although many rumors claimed she had reached her current position due to her performance in bed, only she knew that wasn’t true.

Mo Yibai admitted that she had used her pretty face to get where she was today. Even though she still had a long way to go before achieving real success, she hadn’t done the things others assumed she had.

She had only taken advantage of men’s desire for her face or her body.

“Hey, do you see that? Mo Yibai is looking at me!” Lin Tao said excitedly.

“I think she’s looking at me!” Lan Yaming was also a bit carried away in excitement.

Song Linger was indeed beautiful, but the woman on stage had a really attractive mature sexiness.

“But, I feel like she’s looking at Master…” Song Linger muttered to herself.

At that moment, Mo Yibai was singing a soothing and gentle love song as she slowly walked off the stage. She began shaking hands with fans on both sides of the aisle. The audience seemed all stupefied by her cat-like eyes when she looked at them.

She raised her delicate hand and placed it in front of a well-dressed, wealthy man. Just as he was about to grasp her hand, she timely withdrew it, leaving him to grab at thin air. However, he wasn’t angry at her teasing gesture; instead, he watched her walk away with a lovesick smile on his face.

She continued singing as she walked towards the rear rows. First, she waved at her fans around her, and then she slowly approached Xiao Shun and the others.

“She’s coming! Mo Yibai is coming our way!” Lin Tao almost jumped out of his seat in excitment.

Song Linger, Lan Yaming, and Lin Dandan also widened their eyes, looking at her with anticipation.

Only Xiao Shun felt uneasy, wondering if she was coming over to pick a fight with him at this moment.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Soon, Mo Yibai leisurely reached their side.

The music transitioned to an instrumental break, and she swept her gaze over everyone before revealing a slight smile towards Xiao Shun. As if unintentionally, she stepped in front of him, bent down, and a bit of her stunning snow white chest was exposed right before Xiao Shun’s eyes. Accompanied by the scent of roses, her fair and beautiful face had almost touched his cheek.

“Thank you for saving me,” Mo Yibai whispered in his ear, the warm and moist breath tickling his ears for a moment.

Xiao Shun couldn’t help but feel his heart race, and his mind was momentarily blank as he swallowed hard.

By the time he regained his senses, Mo Yibai had already straightened up and was walking back to the stage.

Xiao Shun squinted at her graceful figure and thought to himself, ‘it seems I still need more cultivation.’
