The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Why don’t you two calm down a bit.” Yao Jianguo frowned, “There’s no need to divorce.”

Although Yao Jianguo felt sorry for his daughter, he still trusted Xiao Shun’s character, and there was no solid evidence that he had cheated.

Even though he didn’t save Yao Cen first that day, and the reason he gave later was indeed too absurd.

But on the other hand, Xiao Shun isn’t stupid, he knew this reason wouldn’t convince anyone, so why would he come up with such a ridiculous reason?

“What about you?” Yao Cen looked coldly at Xiao Shun, “I’ve stated my opinion, now it’s your turn.”

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Shun cleared his throat: “I agree with dad. Let’s do this, I’ll move out for a while, so you won’t be reminded of unpleasant things when you see me. I won’t go to the company for a while, let’s both cool down…”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Yao Cen stood up before he could finish his words, his footsteps reverberating as he headed upstairs. A heavy door slam followed.

The next day, Xiao Shun moved out of Pearl International. Of course, he wouldn’t stay at the Eighth Avenue. Not only would it be unacceptable for Yao Cen, Song Qingzhou would probably be the first to want to stab him.

He moved into the large courtyard of the Sikong family. The vast yard was only inhabited by him and Duan Jia, a little deserted.

In the following days, his life became incredibly simple.

Every day, he would go to the Eighth Avenue to diagnose Tang Shishi’s injury, prepare some ointment to help her recover as soon as possible, and then start writing “Fallen Seven” for Qin Guangyuan. He also guided Song Linger and Duan Jia in their training-quite leisurely and comfortable.

On the third day after moving out of Pearl International, Wen Guangliang called Xiao Shun. The Yao family agreed to sell 30% of their shares at the original 50% price. Wen asked if that was too little?

Tightly closed, unable to control the shares, the Yao Group’s shares were still almost all concentrated in their family’s hands.

Xiao Shun chuckled, “The Yao family will be very short of money. If they don’t sell at 50% now, later they will sell at 30%. We’re not in a hurry.”

…

Several days passed again.

Tang Shishi’s injuries were finally almost healed.

It was also finally the day of the Wei family’s birthday banquet.

The morning before the birthday banquet, Xiao Shun took Duan Jia and Song Linger, along with a refrigerated truck, and set off for Harrow.

Naturally, the bodies of Peng Zu and the Yun brothers were in the refrigerated truck.

Last time, He Guangji had repeatedly supported and invited Xiao Shun to have a meal together, but never found the opportunity.

Before coming to Harrow this time, he called him. After Xiao Shun and his party checked into the hotel, he met with He Guangji in a private dining restaurant with antique decorations.

At seven in the evening.

In a private room of the restaurant, Xiao Shun not only met He Guangji but also Mo Yibai.

Compared to a few months ago, Mo Yibai now exuded a strong sense of confidence, making her more radiant.

“Mr. Xiao, I heard you came to Harrow. I specifically stayed in Harrow to wait for you, cancelling several announcements,” said Mo Yibai, smiling at Xiao Shun.

“Really? Do I have such a big face?” Xiao Shun joked.

“Of course, without you, there would be no Mo Yibai today. I am a grateful person.”

“Mo is now our company’s popular artist, and her fan base can compete with Bai Ruoning. Mr. Xiao, you brought me a money tree,” He Guangji also generously praised.

“If I had known, I would have signed Mo earlier, instead of burying her in Stillwater for so many years.”

“Don’t just talk about me, Mr. Xiao, do you have any business in Harrow this time?” Mo Yibai asked Xiao Shun with her eyes sparkling like water.

“Oh, nothing important, isn’t it the old man Wei’s birthday tomorrow? I came specifically to wish him a happy birthday,” Xiao Shun replied.

He Guangji and Mo Yibai exchanged glances. Mo Yibai must have already known about the unpleasant incident between Xiao Shun and the Wei family last time.

“You’re wishing Mr. Wei a happy birthday?” He Guangji asked suspiciously.

“Is there a problem?” Xiao Shun said with a playful smile, sipping his wine.

“Have you made peace with the Wei family? Have you turned the page?” asked He Guangji.

“No,” Xiao Shun waved his hand and laughed lightly, “A feud should be resolved, not tied. I came to see if the Wei family is willing to turn the page. I came to wish their old man a happy birthday, that’s enough respect for them, isn’t it?”

Mo Yibai’s eyes were swirling. In her impression, Xiao Shun was not someone who would easily admit defeat. She had seen him handle the young nobles of Stillwater more than once.

“I feel like you’re not going to wish someone a happy birthday. It’s more like you’re going to crash the party,” Mo Yibai said with a light smile.

“You don’t know me at all. I’m very magnanimous. As long as the Wei family is willing to turn the page, I will definitely let it go.”

Xiao Shun said, “But I think it won’t be that easy. After all, the Wei family is powerful and influential. How could they pay attention to someone insignificant like me?”

He Guangji hummed lightly, “I heard your donation of twenty billion shook the upper echelons of Oakland. They originally planned to promote you and Starline throughout the province. But somehow, it was suppressed. I guess it must be the Wei family pulling strings behind the scenes.”

“Otherwise, this would have been an excellent promotional opportunity for Starline. Your brand image would have at least shined in Oakland.”

“I see. If it really was the Wei family who did this, I should thank them. I prefer to keep a low profile, and our Starline products are already in high demand; we don’t need the government to advertise for us,” Xiao Shun responded.

“Mr. Xiao’s humility, I know it well. The first time we met, I even scolded you for being a poor guy. Now thinking about it, I feel a bit embarrassed,” Mo Yibai laughed.

Xiao Shun smiled and said, “Let’s not mention the past. At that time, I wanted to punch you.”

“It hasn’t been that long since then. Looking back, life is indeed unpredictable. No one knows where they are headed next. Look at me, I unintentionally became a real superstar,” Mo Yibai joked.

“Come on, Mr. Xiao, let’s toast to the superstar,” He Guangji laughed heartily, raising his glass.

The three of them chatted happily, each taking turns speaking.

When they left the restaurant, it was already ten o’clock at night.

After bidding farewell to He Guangji, Mo Yibai suddenly became reserved, like a shy girl, not knowing where to put her hands, and finally decided to place them behind her back.

She tilted her blushing face up at Xiao Shun and asked, “Can I call you by your name from now on? Calling you Mr. Xiao feels a bit distant.”

“Of course,” Xiao Shun shrugged.

“Xiao Shun, thank you,” Mo Yibai said with a smile.

“You’ve said that many times already.”

“Haha, yes, I just wanted to say it,” Mo Yibai blushed a bit, which made her look even more radiant.
