The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Look how polite Mr. Xue is, and then look at you,” Liu Yunxia said with a stern face.

“Mr. Xue, don’t be so polite to Xiao Shun. He’s just a useless loser,” Zhou Mingde, Liu Yunxia’s son, said contemptuously as he looked at Xiao Shun.

It was the same story every year, and the Liu family never got tired of it. Stepping on Xiao Shun seemed to have become their necessary year-end project. Humiliating Xiao Shun was just a roundabout way of humiliating Liu Yunxiang, who could be unaware of this?

In the past, she could only endure it because, in her eyes, Xiao Shun was indeed a useless person, and she could not refute it. But now, she could no longer bear it. Liu Yunxiang sneered and said, “If Xiao Shun is a useless wretch, then you all are even worse than a useless wretch!” Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, even Liu Mingda was scolded.

After Liu Yuxiang finished speaking, she felt something was off. However, there was no taking back what she had said. The Liu family looked at her with bewildered expressions as if they were looking at a madwoman.

In previous years, she not only wouldn’t speak up for Xiao Shun, but sometimes she would vent her anger on him by hitting and scolding him. What was going on today?

“How dare you! You’re becoming more and more unruly! Am I wrong? What contributions has Xiao Shun made to your family over the years? Cooking, doing laundry? Is that what a grown man should do?!” Liu Mingda angrily scolded, slapping the armrest of his chair. “If he’s not a wretch, then what is he?!”

“Yeah, Aunt Yunxiang, don’t you know what kind of person Xiao Shun is? What’s wrong with you today? Is it really necessary to get so angry?” Liu Manxiang said.

“Your words are so unrestrained, you even scolded dad!” Liu Yunxia added fuel to the fire.

“Dad, that’s not what I meant. I mean, Xiao Shun is not like what you said. He is capable…” Liu Yunxiang hurriedly explained, breaking out in a sweat.

“Capable? Of freeloading, maybe? Stop joking, alright?” Liu Yunxia coldly interrupted.

“Enough, enough! Stop arguing! Are you here to celebrate my birthday or to upset me?!” Liu Mingda impatiently scolded.

Xiao Shun couldn’t stand to watch the Liu family argue over him, so he stood up with a faint smile and said, “Mom, I’m going for a walk outside.” With that, he walked out of the main hall.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent. Soon after, Yao Cen followed suit and walked out as well.

She quickly caught up and took Xiao Shun’s arm. He turned to look at her and smiled gently.

“Aren’t you angry?” Yao Cen asked.

“It’s not the first time. It’s always been like this in previous years. I’ve gotten used to it. If I don’t get their ridicule, I’d feel like the year hasn’t been celebrated properly. Don’t you think I deserve it?” Xiao Shun joked.

“I’m sorry,” Yao Cen apologized with guilt.

“Hmm?”

“It’s nothing… I just feel like I’ve let you down.”

“How do you plan to make it up to me?” Xiao Shun teased with a sly smile.

“Make up your ass,” Yao Cen rolled her eyes.

The two of them bantered until they reached the front gate. A BMW 8 Series approached from afar, and Liu Yunsheng and Qin Shuang’s eyes lit up as if they had seen a treasure.

Before the car had even come to a stop, the two quickly went to greet it. Soon after, a young woman in her early twenties stepped out of the car. She wore a dark blue waistcoat, a high-necked black shirt underneath, and her golden wavy hair shimmered with a healthy glow in the sunlight. Her delicate, exquisite face was extremely beautiful. It was Liu Yunsheng’s daughter, Liu Miaozhen.

Following her was a tall and elegant young man, who looked to be over 1. 8 meters tall. He was refined and intellectual, but the corners of his mouth gave off an unconscious air of gloom and arrogance.

“Uncle, auntie, nice to finally meet you, so I brought some gifts for grandpa. Please wait a moment,” the young man greeted with a smile, and went to the trunk of the car to retrieve several exquisitely packaged gift boxes.

“Mr. Xiao, there’s no need to bring so many things,” Liu Yunsheng said.

“Uncle, just call me Xiao Zhou,” the young man responded with a smile.

“Alright, alright,” Liu Yunsheng nodded repeatedly.

“Xiao Shun, what are you doing standing there? How can you just be so dumb! Come and help Mr. Xiao with the things!” Qin Shuang said discontentedly as she looked at Xiao Shun and Yao Cen standing at the entrance.

At that moment, Liu Miaozhen also saw Xiao Shun and looked at him with disdain. “Mom and Dad, even though they both have a Xiao in their names, they are certainly not related. ”

“Would it be that shameful to share the same name as me?” Xiao Shun thought, feeling quite unhappy.

“I’m well aware of that,” Liu Yunsheng said with a chuckle. “The Xiao family of Newstrand is well-known. Do you take us for senile old fools who can’t even tell the difference?”

Xiao Zhou was the second son of Xiao Yingyao, the president of the Prosperity United Commerce Chamber in Newstrand. The Xiao family’s assets exceeded one billion, and though they couldn’t compare to Song Qingzhou, who was a local tyrant in Newstrand, they could still be considered a prominent family.

No wonder Xiao Zhou exuded an air of arrogance at all times. In his eyes, the Liu family was nothing more than a local gentry residing in a small county. The difference between them and the Xiao family could be described as “worlds apart.” Thus, even in front of his future in-laws, he maintained an air of superiority.

Not to mention his treatment of Xiao Shun – he looked at him as if he were a mere servant. After stuffing all the gifts he brought into Xiao Shun’s hands, he swaggered into the old Liu mansion, accompanied by the three members of the Liu family.

“Why are you so spineless? Why are you doing hard labor for him?” Yao Cen said coldly, displeased.

She wasn’t blaming Xiao Shun but rather feeling sorry for him. She had seen how Xiao Shun treated Li Shangzhi and Dong Zimin and knew that he was only enduring it for her sake.

“If it were me, I would have thrown it in his face.”

“Alright, next time I’ll throw it in his face,” Xiao Shun said with a smile, not caring at all.

As they passed by the relatives in the courtyard, Liu Yunsheng’s family smugly introduced Xiao Zhou to them. The relatives couldn’t stop praising him.

“Your daughter Miaozhen is so blessed to have found such a great son-in-law for you. You two will also enjoy good fortune in the future.”

“Mr. Xiao’s appearance clearly indicates that he’s destined for great wealth and success.”

“…”

Xiao Zhou looked at the Liu family’s relatives with disdain in his heart but maintained a polite demeanor on the surface, smiling and nodding his head in acknowledgment.

“You’re all family, Mr. Xiao. Please make yourself at home, just like it’s your own house.”

After greeting everyone, Qin Shuang said cheerfully, leading Xiao Zhou towards the main hall.

Having just seen Xiao Zhou, the epitome of success, the relatives then saw Xiao Shun carrying a bunch of packages and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“This son-in-law of the Yao family is destined to do such hard work for life. He’ll never amount to anything.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Compared to Mr. Xiao, he’s not even worthy of carrying his shoes.”

“What a waste of the Yao family’s daughter. How could she marry such a useless man? It’s truly beyond words.” Someone sighed regretfully.
