The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Wow, she’s so beautiful!”

“This might be the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”

“This wedding dress looks like it was made just for her…”

The staff at the bridal shop and the young men and women who were there to buy wedding dresses couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

A calm and restrained smile appeared on Dong Yongnian’s face. Conquering such an elegant and noble woman gave him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. The envious gazes of others also filled his heart with enjoyment.

“How do I look, dear? Am I beautiful?” Wen Wanyu walked over gracefully, holding her skirt as she slowly turned around and smiled charmingly.

“No one could be more beautiful than you,” Dong Yongnian praised without hesitation.

Just as his words fell, swish! Another curtain was drawn, revealing Yao Cen in front of everyone.

All eyes instantly focused on her. At that moment, the entire bridal shop seemed to have transformed into heaven, and the woman before them was their pure goddess.

Her delicate, swan-like neck looked even more slender above the narrow standing collar, and the white wedding dress, with its minimal embellishments at the hem, appeared exceptionally pure and clean without the lace fabric most wedding dresses would have.

She seemed so ethereal, sacred, and unapproachable. It seemed as if all the beautiful words in the world were not enough to describe her.

Could there be such a beautiful person in this world?

She was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended from the heavens!

The room fell silent, as if they could already hear the heartbeat of the people around them.

Everyone seemed to hold their breath, admiring a scroll of breathtaking beauty. They couldn’t close their mouths, but they didn’t even know how to begin praising her.

Wen Wanyu was instantly overshadowed.

Dong Yongnian raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of disbelief appeared in the depths of his eyes.

This sudden and immense sense of loss made him feel an inexplicable resentment and jealousy in his heart.

Xiao Shun was also captivated. Could there be anyone more beautiful than her in this world?

He couldn’t help but vow secretly in his heart.

I owe her too much. She should have been as dazzling as she is now, receiving everyone’s pure admiration without any ulterior motives.

But because of me, she has endured ridicule and sarcasm.

One day, I will make the whole world see her endless brilliance.

Even if it takes everything I have, I will give you the grandest wedding in the world!

Yao Cen noticed that everyone’s eyes were fixed on her, her face turned slightly red, which made her look even more enchanting.

Wen Wanyu detected the gazes of the people around her, and a trace of jealousy quickly flashed across her face.

She had never regretted anything as much as she did today. She shouldn’t have let Yao Cen wear any wedding dress at all. How could she have known that Yao Cen would outshine her in any wedding dress?

However, since they were best friends, she didn’t hesitate to walk up and take Yao Cen’s hand. She looked Yao Cen up and down, then turned to Xiao Shun with a look full of obvious pity.

She led Yao Cen to the two men and looked at Dong Yongnian, saying, “What do you think? Isn’t she beautiful?”

“Absolutely stunning,” Dong Yongnian said seriously.

Wen Wanyu glanced at Xiao Shun and sighed, “What a pity. She married such a man. She didn’t even have a wedding ceremony. It’s outrageous.”

Yao Cen gently tugged at her.

“Fine, let’s not talk about it. It’s too late for me to say anything now,” Wen Wanyu pouted.

After trying on several more wedding dresses, Yao Cen continued to offer suggestions by Wen Wanyu’s side, while Dong Yongnian’s gaze at Yao Cen was mixed with complex emotions.

By the time they finally settled on a wedding dress, it was almost noon.

The four agreed to dine at a high-end restaurant nearby. Since it wasn’t yet time for the people in the nearby office buildings to get off work, it wasn’t too crowded.

Yao Cen and Wen Wanyu sat across from each other, enthusiastically discussing various details about Wen Wanyu’s wedding at the end of the month.

Dong Yongnian slowly sliced the steak on his plate, putting small pieces into his mouth. Occasionally he picked up his wine glass, swirling it gently and sipping a bit of red wine, exuding an “I am a smart ass” demeanor.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shun was completely focused on his own steak, not even bothering to look at him.

“I heard that Mr. Xiao and your wife bought Starline. How is it going lately?” Dong Yongnian suddenly asked, looking at Xiao Shun.

“Oh, we’ve just started, so it’s fine.” Yao Cen thought he was talking to her and casually replied before continuing her conversation with Wen Wanyu.

Dong Yongnian felt ignored, a trace of displeasure flashing across his face. However, he quickly resumed a gentlemanly smile and asked, “What does Mr. Xiao do at the company?”

Xiao Shun finally looked up and said, “I’m the boss, and my wife handles the details.”

Dong Yongnian smiled, appearing like a successful person. In a complicated tone, he said, “I should be a few years older than you, and this is advice from my experience. A man should have his own career, not hide under his wife’s wings.”

You hypocrite, are you implying that I’m not a real man?

Xiao Shun replied with a faint smile, “My wife just likes me in her arms.”

Yao Cen expressionlessly pinched his waist.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Dong Yongnian’s face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

After the last dessert was served, he looked at Yao Cen and said, “Since Miss Yao is my wife’s friend, please let me know if you need any help in the future. I should be spending most of my time in Stillwater.”

“No problem,” Yao Cen answered straightforwardly, then turned to Wen Wanyu and asked, “By the way, I forgot to ask, which company will your husband work for?”

“Golden Harrow, CEO,” Wen Wanyu replied. “He’s starting in a couple of days. The annual salary is…”

Wen Wanyu gestured with one hand and whispered.

“Golden Harrow? Isn’t that the Sikong family’s company? Are they willing to let an outsider be their CEO?”

Golden Harrow was a household name in Stillwater, so Yao Cen had naturally heard of them.

Over the years, they had expanded into real estate, shipping, and utilities, becoming a part of every Stillwater resident’s life. It was hard to avoid the Sikong family while living here.

However, for most family businesses, they wouldn’t even have enough positions within their own family, let alone giving such an important role to an outsider.

“Didn’t you know? Golden Harrow was sold, and it’s now managed by several investment companies. They even have a new chairman. But it’s normal that you don’t know. Only a few people know about this. If my husband hadn’t come back, I probably wouldn’t know either,” Wen Wanyu said.

“Oh,” Yao Cen nodded.

At this point, Xiao Shun raised his head and asked seriously, “Which one is higher, the chairman or the CEO?”

Yao Cen’s face immediately turned a bit awkward. How embarrassing. Could this jerk just keep quiet if he didn’t know anything?

Dong Yongnian glanced at him contemptuously. What was wrong with this guy? He didn’t even understand that?
