The Crazy Son-In-Law

Upon seeing the family of three enter, the expressions on the faces of the Liu family members were all different.

Liu Yunsheng and Qin Shuang, needless to say, were grinning from ear to ear, looking very proud.

Liu Manxiang originally thought that the husband she found was the best among her peers in the Liu family. When Xiao Zhou appeared, she silently compared him to Xue Cheng in her heart. No matter from family background or personal temperament, Xue Cheng was undoubtedly inferior by a large margin, which made her feel a little disappointed.

Xue Cheng also deeply experienced the feeling of being ignored. Just now, the enthusiasm of the Liu family towards him had instantly shifted to Xiao Zhou, who was showered with care and praise.

Liu Yunxiang was visibly irritated, thinking that the difference in treatment was too great. To her, Xiao Zhou was nothing special, his arrogant expression annoying her. Compared to him, her own son-in-law, Xiao Shun, was far superior. In her eyes, Xiao Shun had become the most sought-after person, incomparable to anyone else.

When she saw Xiao Shun carrying a bunch of packages and walking in, she hurriedly went forward to help take some of the boxes. After Xiao Shun put down the things, he was about to leave when Liu Miaozhen called out to him.

“Xiao Shun, wait a moment.”

Xiao Shun stopped and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I forgot to introduce you earlier. This is my boyfriend, Xiao Zhou.” Liu Miaozhen said playfully, looking at Xiao Shun.

“Oh, I see.”

“Zhou, this is the person I mentioned to you before, Cen’s husband, Xiao Shun. Don’t you remember? I told you about him.”

Xiao Zhou pretended to suddenly realize and said, “Oh, this is your brother-in-law? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought he was a servant of your family.” He then reached out to Xiao Shun and said, “I’m sorry, you must have worked hard just now. Those were boxes of red wine that I had specially airlifted from abroad, quite heavy.”

Xiao Shun shook hands with him lightly and said indifferently, “It’s no problem.”

“Grandpa, I know you like red wine. More than half of the imported red wines in our country are fake, so Xiao Zhou asked someone to buy them directly from foreign wineries and have them airlifted here, especially for you,” Liu Miaozhen took the opportunity to say.

“Mr. Xiao is very considerate,” Liu Mingda said, his face full of pride.

“It’s what we do as a family,” Xiao Zhou said.

“Xiao Shun, are you still jobless? Do you want my boyfriend to help you find a job in his company? You can’t go on like this forever,” Liu Miaozhen approached Xiao Zhou, holding his arm while looking disdainfully at Xiao Shun.

“Miaozhen doesn’t know yet, does she? Cen has taken over a bankrupt company now, and Xiao Shun is working as a handyman there. He has a job,” said Liu Yunxia, laughing. She then pointed with her chin at the gifts brought by the Yao family, placed in a corner.

“Look, those are the products from their company, and they said these are the gifts to your grandfather.”

“In the end, he still relies on my sister. A grown man being supported by a woman, how pathetic,” Liu Miaozhen sneered.

“Your boyfriend also relies on his family, what’s there to show off?” Yao Cen couldn’t stand it any longer and finally spoke up.

Her words immediately drew side glances from the other members of the Liu family.

“So what if he does? Some people want to rely on their family but can’t even do that, and end up being kicked out by the Yao family,” Liu Manqing, who had always been at odds with Yao Cen, retorted mockingly.

“Cen, my boyfriend doesn’t rely on his family. The startup capital for his company was earned by himself, and now it makes millions in profit every month,” Liu Miaozhen said with an innocent look.

“What’s so great about making a few million a month? My son-in-law made two billion in a day,” Liu Yunxiang whispered cautiously since she had misspoken last time.

Even so, the others still heard her faintly. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, followed by laughter.

“Yunxiang, can you wake up? Xiao Shun making two billion a day? Do you think he’s a money-printing machine?”

“With this useless guy, two billion? I think two hundred dollars would be difficult, right?”

“What’s gotten into Aunt Yunxiang today? She’s actually defending this useless person, and her words are getting more and more outrageous. What kind of love potion did he give you all?”

Liu Yunxiang’s face turned red with anger. In the past, when they mocked Xiao Shun, she would just accept it, speechless. But now, she was speaking the truth, yet they ridiculed her like this, making her feel extremely wronged. She finally understood how Xiao Shun must have felt initially.

With so much anger bottled up and nowhere to vent, in the past, she could have vented her frustration on Xiao Shun. But now, she didn’t even have him as an outlet, nearly causing her to have a heart attack from the strain.

As for Xiao Shun, he appeared indifferent. Useless? He wasn’t, but they could think whatever they wanted. Although he no longer hated Liu Yunxiang as much, he couldn’t help but feel a slight satisfaction at seeing her trembling with anger. Now she knew how he had felt before, right?

Why was he so twisted? Liu Yunxiang was clearly defending him now.

At that moment, a Lexus pulled up in front of the house, and a middle-aged man wearing a long black woolen coat stepped out. He looked around before walking straight in.

“Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Liu Mingda?” The man asked in the courtyard.

“Yes, who are you looking for?”

“Oh, I’m looking for President Xiao.”

“You must mean Mr. Xiao, right? He’s in there. Feel free to go in.”

The man nodded his thanks and headed straight for the main hall. The Liu family members were gathered there, still teasing the Yao family. Seeing the newcomer, they quieted down a bit.

“Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Xiao?” The man asked.

The Lius hesitated for a moment.

“Mr. Xiao, he’s looking for you,” Liu Yunsheng said.

“What do you mean? Who else could it be? Is there another Mr. Xiao here?” Liu Yunxia retorted.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Xiao Zhou sized up the newcomer, whom he had never seen before. But he was certain that the man was looking for him. Perhaps a company in St. Marquet wanted to do business with the Xiao family and had come specifically to find him?

“That would be me. And you are?” Xiao Zhou asked solemnly.

“Oh, I’m from the Pearl Commercial Chamber. Our vice president, Mr. Du Xing, heard that you had arrived in St. Marquet. Since he’s out of town and couldn’t personally welcome you, he asked me to deliver a gift on his behalf,” the man replied.

Upon hearing Du Xing’s name and the Pearl Commercial Chamber, the Liu family members exchanged glances. This name was well-known in St. Marquet, a true big shot and the richest man in the area.

St. Marquet was not a large place, with a population of around one million. In this small county, Du Xing’s name was a living signboard, untouchable and an undisputed local emperor.

The Pearl Commercial Chamber was renowned in Stillwater and the surrounding nine counties, known far and wide. As the local emperor of St. Marquet and the vice president of the Pearl Commercial Chamber, Du Xing held an extremely prestigious position. His respectful treatment of Xiao Zhou made the Liu family see their future son-in-law in an even more favorable light.

Xiao Zhou, however, was somewhat baffled. Was this man really there for him?
