The Crazy Son-In-Law

Afterwards, only Yao Zhenshu’s direct descendants remained, and Yao Han said, “Grandpa, didn’t you promise Uncle Jianguo that you’d let them return to the Yao family? The day you promised is coming soon. Since we have the formula now, should we still let them come back?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Hearing Yao Jianguo’s name, Yao Zhenshu’s face immediately darkened. He had promised Liu Yunxiang that he would announce their return to the Yao family in front of all the family members. Remembering Liu Yunxiang’s smug expression, Yao Zhenshu was filled with anger. Apologizing in person was a great humiliation for him as the head of the Yao family.

“When the time comes, I will gather all the Yao family members, and I will make sure Yao Jianguo and his family pay.”

Though Tang Shishi was unrestrained, she knew when to be serious. After spending a night in Stillwater, she headed straight to Starline. Due to the unpleasant experience with the Kumi Group last time, Yao Cen had ordered that no one from Kumi Group was to be received. As a result, Tang Shishi was left disappointed and returned to her hotel.

She opened her laptop to video call her father, both to report on the situation and to check on his health.

“You didn’t even get to meet anyone?” Tang Li, with eyes still swollen like peaches, seemed to be talking with his eyes closed.

“Yeah, Miss Lin’s visit last time must have offended them,” Tang Shishi, sitting cross-legged on the bed, shrugged and said helplessly.

“You can try to approach from a different angle, like finding out about her relatives or friends.”

“Great minds think alike, Dad. I was thinking the same thing. Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out. I just wanted to see how your eyes are doing. They still look the same. You must have suffered a lot.” Tang Shishi pursed her lips sympathetically.

Tang Li scratched his neck, his face twitching a few times. “Nowadays, medical treatment is so advanced. This is no bid deal; it will be better soon. Mr. Qin just returned to the capital yesterday and came to treat me today. You don’t need to worry about me; just focus on what you’re doing over there.”

The Mr. Qin that Tang Li mentioned was Qin Guangyuan, a leading figure in traditional medicine on par with Wang Ye. He was also Wang Ye’s good friend and was the one who had introduced Tang Shishi to Wang Ye for her chest pain treatment.

Last time she went home, Tang Shishi only told Tang Li that Wang Ye could not help her, but she didn’t mention meeting Xiao Shun, because she thought Xiao Shun looked young and not at all like a doctor, and their encounter had been somewhat unpleasant.

Just after saying that, Tang Li scratched his neck hard again, looking very uncomfortable. His skin on his neck was clearly broken because of that scratching.

Tang Shishi watched, her eyebrows furrowing, and felt a growing unease in her heart. Could this be the beginning of his skin ulcerating?

“Dad, is your neck really itchy?”

“Yeah, there shouldn’t be any mosquitoes in this season,” Tang Li said strangely. “Alright, go do your thing. I’ll be fine. Bye.”

Tang Shishi opened her mouth to speak, but the video had already been closed. She sighed uneasily.

It seemed she should go to Bamboo Court to find Mr. Wang first, even though she really didn’t want to see that guy again. But now it seemed he did know his stuff, and since he could predict the subsequent symptoms, he should have a solution.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Le Wen quickly went to open the door, and a refined-looking young man with a friendly smile stood at the entrance, wearing a well-tailored gray plaid suit, his hair impeccably groomed and holding a large bouquet of roses.

“Mr. Cheng…” Le Wen said in surprise. “How did you get here?”

“Le Wen, of course I came to see Shishi,” the young man said, plucking a slightly wilted rose from the bouquet and handing it to her. “For you. Let me in.”

Le Wen was still stunned, but the young man had already pushed her aside and walked in.

Tang Shishi heard the noise at the door and couldn’t help but sigh again, her pretty face growing cold.

“Cheng Yu, will you ever stop? Didn’t I tell you we aren’t suitable and I have no feelings for you? Why are you still pursuing me here? No wonder I felt like someone was following me when I left the house.”

Before he could respond, Tang Shishi had already thrown out a few cold words.

Cheng Yu didn’t get angry. He walked over with a smile and said, “I don’t believe it. When we played house together as kids, I was the father, you were the mother. We were already a family back then. Besides, your parents also approve of this marriage, or they wouldn’t have told me you were in Stillwater, right?”

“How childish. What era is this? Do you still think it’s the old days when marriages were arranged by parents?” Tang Shishi rolled her eyes at him.

Cheng Yu could be considered her childhood friend, and their families had always had a good relationship.

Tang’s Kumi Group might boast a market value of 60 billion, but it wasn’t much in the capital. The Cheng family, however, was different. In recent years, not only had they prospered in business, but their family members also made significant achievements in politics, rising to become a new power in the capital.

As a prominent figure in the third generation of the Cheng family, Cheng Yu should not lack female attention, but he was particularly infatuated with Tang Shishi.

To outsiders, he was a reserved and gentle gentleman, but in front of Tang Shishi, he became somewhat neurotic.

Sometimes mature, sometimes childish, sometimes melancholic, sometimes cheerful, in Tang Shishi’s eyes, he was nothing short of a madman.

However, only Cheng Yu knew why he was like this.

Love had seeped into his bones, causing him to lose himself. He had pursued Tang Shishi for three years in his original form, but she had never shown any interest in him. So, he tried to change himself to win her over. However, perhaps because they had known each other since childhood, Tang Shishi was unimpressed by his actions.

Cheng Yu chuckled and looked around, placing the flowers on a tea table near the window. “I was worried about you being so far away on your own. But don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your business. I just wanted to see you.”

“Have you seen enough? Can you leave now?”

Cheng Yu was taken aback, his smile becoming somewhat stiff. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, “Alright, I’ll go. But if you need help with anything, just call me.”

Tang Shishi, feeling annoyed and restless, did not pay him any more attention. After Cheng Yu left, Le Wen said, “Young Master Cheng has been thinking about you all these years. Isn’t it wrong for you to treat him like this?”
