The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun snorted coldly, saying indifferently, “A leopard can’t change its spots. President Zhuang, I don’t want to dirty my hands. I’ll leave it to you.”

Zhuang Jin waved his hand, and two burly men in black stepped forward, grabbing Kou Moshu and walking towards the back of the bar. Soon, chilling screams were then heard. After a short while, the two men dragged Kou Moshu back out.

He was sweating profusely, his face pale, his eyes unfocused, and his pant legs stained with blood. Xiao Shun turned to the group of friends who accompanied Kou Moshu and said, “Please take your young master back to Harrow. If he falls into my hands again, he won’t get off so easily.”

The group of dandies usually only bullied others, but they had never seen such a scene before. They stood there, stiffening their bodies and wearing wooden expressions, not even daring to breathe.

“Did you understand?”

Xiao Shun’s icy tone seemed to awaken them as they nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, yeah…”

“Get lost,” Xiao Shun waved dismissively.

They hurried over, clumsily lifting Kou Moshu and hastily leaving the bar. Xiao Shun glanced at Lin Jiayin, who was slumped on the ground, sobbing, “You should go too.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayin slowly stood up as if pardoned, lowered her head, and walked out dispiritedly. This was perhaps the most humiliating moment of her life, more memorable than when Xiao Shun had slapped her in public.

“You’re Zhou Chu, right?” Xiao Shun finally turned to Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu felt a mix of emotions as he watched Xiao Shun deal with Kou Moshu using his thunderous methods. He was both shocked and afraid. The inevitable had finally come, and it was his turn now.

He anxiously took two steps forward and knelt before Xiao Shun with a thud. He slapped himself several times and pleaded, “I was blind not to recognize you and offended Mr. Xiao. I accept my punishment and ask for nothing more than to be spared my worthless life.”

“So now I have the authority to fire you, right?”

At this, Zhou Chu was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond. “Your boss is Dong Yongnian, right? Call him now,” Xiao Shun said indifferently.

Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, though he didn’t know Xiao Shun’s intentions. He could only follow the instructions, dial Dong Yongnian’s number, and hand the phone to Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun switched to speakerphone, and Dong Yongnian’s voice soon came through. “Zhou Chu, what’s the matter so late at night?”

“I’m Xiao Shun. The marketing director is not suitable for his current position and has been fired by me,” Xiao Shun said.

Dong Yongnian paused. Xiao Shun had never interfered in the company’s operations before, so there must have been a reason for his statement. Moreover, Zhou Chu was an old employee of the company with many client resources, making it difficult to replace him.

Because of this, Zhou Chu had become quite arrogant in the company, not even respecting him. Now that the chairman himself had issued the order, Dong Yongnian didn’t hesitate, “Understood, Mr. Chairman.”

“Mr. Chairman?”

Upon hearing Dong Yongnian address Xiao Shun as such, Zhou Chu began to understand something.

The identity of the new chairman of the company had always been a mystery, never appearing in the company. Since the Sikong family left Stillwater, rumors were rife that a powerful figure had taken over Golden Harrow, forcing the Sikong family into a desperate situation and leaving Stillwater.

Zhou Chu smiled bitterly to himself. It turned out that the powerful figure was Xiao Shun, whom others called a useless son-in-law.

No wonder he couldn’t see it – everyone, like him, couldn’t see the forest for the trees. In front of such a person, his defeat should be well expected.

After all, Xiao Shun overturned one of the four major families, the Sikong family, with a flick of his finger, forced the Sikong family head to their demise death, and today, effortlessly pressured Kou Zhengqing to abandon his own son’s legs. His demeanor was impressive, and his methods ruthless.

In front of Xiao Shun, he was truly like an insignificant ant.

Xiao Shun pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth, looking at Zhuang Jin and Ouyang Qianqian. Ouyang Qianqian averted her gaze after their eyes met, lowering her head.

Xiao Shun smiled and said, “Little girl, if you need help in the future, feel free to call me.”

Ouyang Qianqian quickly nodded, then shook her head like a rattle drum. How could her trivial matters bother someone as important as Xiao Shun?

Xiao Shun didn’t delve into her mixed signals. As he stood up, he said, “Thank you for your hard work today, President Zhuang.”

Zhuang Jin replied modestly, “You’re too kind, Mr. Xiao.”

He had been acquainted with Kou Moshu before and came to support him, but he never expected to meet Xiao Shun by chance. Fortunately, Xiao Shun didn’t hold these details against him.

After uttering those words, Xiao Shun walked straight out, and as he passed by Yao Xiaoyu, he said lightly: “Let’s go, let’s go home.” Hearing this, Yao Xiaoyu trembled like she had awoken from a dream. She raised her eyes and glanced around at the dense crowd, perhaps to confirm that her current situation was real. Then she hurriedly lowered her head and followed Xiao Shun out of the bar.

It was already late at night, and there were few cars and people on the road, unlike the earlier congestion. Xiao Shun carefully drove the car, his face calm as if nothing had happened. Yao Xiaoyu sat in the passenger seat, occasionally stealing glances at Xiao Shun from the corner of her eye.

Even now, she could hardly believe that what had happened in the bar was true. This “useless” person, who was so clumsy at driving, was entirely different from the man who revealed his sharpness in the bar. Was this really the son-in-law who had been ridiculed by the Yao family?

For a moment, she was in a daze, hesitating before saying, “Xiao Shun…” She had never been willing to call Xiao Shun this way before.

“Do you want to go back to the Yao family or what?” Xiao Shun didn’t bother to explain. He didn’t have a bad impression of Yao Xiaoyu, but it wasn’t particularly good either, so there was no need. At this time, the company had already closed, so going there was obviously not an option.

“I’ll go home first, and I’ll go to the company tomorrow to find my sister,” Yao Xiaoyu replied.

Xiao Shun gave a faint “Mm” and drove directly towards her home.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

When he returned to Pearl International after dropping off Yao Xiaoyu, it was already close to midnight. Yao Cen hadn’t fallen asleep yet and was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. Seeing Xiao Shun enter the room, she closed the book, placed it aside, covered her mouth, yawned, and asked lazily, “Did you drop her off?”

“Mm, Yao Xiaoyu said she’s going to work in the technical department of our company. Do you know about this?” Xiao Shun took off his coat, hung it on the rack, and walked towards the bed.

“She mentioned it, but I didn’t take it seriously. I thought she was joking. What happened?” Yao Cen asked.

“Nothing.” Xiao Shun sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her tenderly.
