The Crazy Son-In-Law

Golden Harrow? What a coincidence.

Xiao Shun thought to himself, Mr. Song hasn’t made any moves to transfer the shares to me, I need to find an opportunity to remind him or even threaten him with Song Linger a bit.

Tang Feifei and the other girls immediately cast admiring glances at Zhou Chu.

One of them, named Jiang Xue, said, “That’s right, Xiaoyu, Chu is the marketing director of Golden Harrow. With just a few client resources, you could easily make money. It’s definitely better than the technical department. Although Starline is your cousin’s company, it’s still a small one. Golden Harrow is one of the top companies in Stillwater, with a bright future.”

“So many people are fighting for this opportunity, Xiaoyu, you’re really lucky today.” Guo Qing agreed.

Yao Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled, somewhat tempted.

However, she thought of the task her father had entrusted her with and suppressed her impulse. She smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Chu. I’ll ask for your help if I need it later.”

“My assistant position won’t wait for you forever, so think it over carefully,” Zhou Chu straightened up and smiled.

“Chu, if Xiaoyu doesn’t want to go, you can consider me. I can resign and start working anytime,” Jiang Xue said, her eyes twinkling flirtatiously at Zhou Chu.

However, Zhou Chu seemed uninterested and completely ignored her.

Yao Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and then smiled, “Chu, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ve already promised my cousin, and it’s not good to go back on my word now.”

“Alright, we can talk about it in the future. If you have any problems in Stillwater, just come to me. There’s nothing I can’t handle,” Zhou Chu said confidently.

“Thank you, Chu. Cheers to you,” Yao Xiaoyu graciously raised her glass and clinked it with Zhou Chu’s, her smile radiant.

As Zhou Chu drank, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at Yao Xiaoyu’s slender, fair neck.

He inadvertently glanced at Xiao Shun, who was sitting next to Yao Xiaoyu, only to see him calmly holding his wine glass, seemingly lost in thought, and completely ignoring his words. A burst of annoyance rose in Zhou Chu’s heart.

Being the marketing director of Golden Harrow, Zhou Chu had some skills and was naturally proud. He looked down upon the freeloading and useless son-in-law.

Most people didn’t understand the current situation of Starline; the majority of people still thought of it as the struggling company from long ago, always on the verge of bankruptcy. Zhou Chu didn’t take Starline seriously either.

He set down his wine glass, licked the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yao Xiaoyu, saying, “I still have to advise you, a small company like Starline has no future. To be blunt, it might close down just like before. It’s not worth going back and forth with them. It’s a pity to miss this opportunity.”

Upon hearing Zhou Chu mention Starline, Xiao Shun seemed to snap back to reality and blurted out, “As long as I’m there, Starline won’t go bankrupt.”

Everyone but Ouyang Qianqian was taken aback by his words, including Yao Xiaoyu.

The quiet, blond-haired young man named Fan Yang couldn’t help but laugh. “Did I just hear a joke?”

Tong Feifei and the others also doubled over with laughter.

“It’s really funny to hear such shameless words from a useless person,” Tong Feifei said, covering her stomach.

“Your brother-in-law’s self-awareness is seriously lacking, Xiaoyu. Maybe you should take him to see a doctor one day?” Jiang Xue laughed so hard that tears nearly came out.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

For Ouyang Qianqian, this scene felt all too familiar.

Yes, a similar situation had occurred at Mo Yibai’s home. History was always astonishingly similar, and she had witnessed it all.

However, she saw that Xiao Shun still looked calm and composed. In addition to admiration, she now also looked up to him.

Indeed, a great person had a big heart and broad mind. If those cold words had been directed at her, she might have been furious by now.

Zhou Chu looked at Xiao Shun with a mocking expression.

“I’ve seen a lot of arrogant fools, but I’ve never seen one as foolish as you. Even the world’s richest person wouldn’t dare to talk like that. A company doesn’t rely on just one person to hold it up, let alone you being a useless son-in-law. If you had that ability, would you need to be with that family in the first place?”

“You can learn from being ignorant, but you should keep quiet and listen instead of making a fool of yourself. Understand, brother?”

“You’re not on the same level as us, so just sit quietly and listen. What are you talking about?” Guo Qing sneered.

Yao Xiaoyu felt embarrassed and thought, “What a disgrace. I shouldn’t have brought this useless person here.”

She didn’t defend Xiao Shun, and she didn’t know how to defend him either.

In her heart, she had always considered Xiao Shun to be a useless person.

In the past, when Yao family members spoke ill of Xiao Shun, she had always been a bystander. Now, she was still a bystander, not joining in the ridicule, which she considered a kindness to him.

“Can you all stop? Does mocking someone else make you feel superior?”

Everyone suddenly heard this sentence, which seemed especially abrupt.

The speaker was Ouyang Qianqian. Although she knew Xiao Shun’s identity didn’t require her to stand up for him and she admired his ability to endure, she felt uncomfortable watching someone so capable being humiliated in turn.

Everyone looked at her as if she were a strange creature.

Xiao Shun glanced at her in surprise but couldn’t help but feel grateful.

“Ouyang Qianqian, did you eat something wrong or drink too much?” Jiang Xue asked with displeasure, as she wasn’t very close to Ouyang Qianqian.

Zhou Chu glared at Ouyang Qianqian with a gloomy and fierce expression. “If you don’t want to be here, just get lost! Stop talking nonsense. Are you already acting crazy after just a few drinks?”

“Ouyang Qianqian, did you fall for this useless guy? He’s a married man, and he’s a freeloader. Can you afford to support him?” Guo Qing teased.

Tong Feifei hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, “Qianqian has been dealing with her period these past few days and isn’t in a good mood. Let’s just continue drinking and not worry about her.” Then she turned to Ouyang Qianqian and said, “Qianqian, if you’re not feeling well, drink less. We don’t want to have to carry you out later.”

“Alright, let’s not let a nobody ruin our atmosphere. Come on, let’s keep drinking. Whose turn was it?” Fan Yang said, clapping his hands. The atmosphere eased somewhat, but it was evident that Ouyang Qianqian had been left out by everyone.
