The Crazy Son-In-Law

However, Wei Lun didn’t have time to think about this, as Zhao Hetai was already coming over. “I heard that Mr. Wei was not feeling well a few days ago, are you feeling better now?” “Mr. Wei, as the birthday star, how could you personally come out to greet me, the wind outside…”

As soon as Zhao Hetai saw Wei Lun from a distance, he quickened his pace, shook his hand warmly and asked about his health, appearing extraordinarily “approachable.” He was here to celebrate, so naturally, he couldn’t act high and mighty. “Thank you, Chief Zhao, for your concern. I’m fine now. Please come in.” Wei Lun said with a beaming smile.

As Zhao Hetai entered the house surrounded by people, he said, “There’s no Chief Zhao today, just a junior coming to wish senior Wei a happy birthday. Everyone, please, don’t be formal. Today, Mr. Wei is the main character.”

Inside the hall, two large round tables were set. Those who could sit here were mostly some of the Wei family’s esteemed guests. As soon as they saw Zhao Hetai come in, some people immediately made room for Zhao Hetai and his party to sit down.

Song Linger and Duan Jia stayed outside, casually finding a place to sit. Xiao Shun, on the other hand, sat with Zhao’s family, otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have a seat.

Due to Zhao Hetai’s arrival, the birthday celebration was momentarily delayed. At this point, Wei Lun reseated himself at the head of the table. The guests who had come to wish him well, along with the numerous children and grandchildren of the Wei family, approached one by one to present their gifts.

“Wishing Grandpa good health.”

“…”

At this time, Wei Wendong had finished welcoming the guests outside and quickly approached Wei Lun. He whispered in his ear, “Xiao Shun has parked a refrigerated truck at our doorstep, saying that it’s a gift for you.”

Wei Lun nodded, his eyes unconsciously darting towards Xiao Shun, who was seated next to Zhao Hetai.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Could this rascal be trying to smooth over our relationship?

Well, let’s see what kind of sincerity you can show.

He then unconsciously glanced towards the entrance. Since Xiao Shun was here to mend their relationship, Peng Zu should also be returning. With the birthday feast about to begin, he couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious, wondering what could have delayed his old brother.

Seeing how young Xiao Shun was and knowing he was a Stillwater local, Zhao Hetai was curious. He asked, “What is Dr. Xiao’s relationship with the Wei family?”

“It’s a long story that I’ll have the chance to elaborate on with Chief Zhao in the future,” Xiao Shun replied with a smile.

Zhao Hetai nodded with a smile, “Alright.”

Most people showed respect in his presence, but this young man remained calm and composed throughout, not attempting to curry favor or showing any servility. This made Zhao Hetai quite interested in him.

“Dr. Xiao, although my illness has temporarily subsided, I wonder if it will recur in the future?” Zhao Siwei asked with a smile.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Shun replied, “You should avoid strenuous exercise for the time being. Your illness requires rest. I’ll prescribe you a herbal remedy which, with a month of gentle nourishment, should completely eradicate it.”

“Thank you very much, Dr. Xiao,” Zhao Siwei said.

Zhao Hetai heard confidence in his words. Most doctors wouldn’t dare to make such a firm promise. He looked at Xiao Shun with an approving gaze.

…

The elite had their circles, and the thugs had theirs.

Dai Qiang was part of the latter group. As a key member of Master Zhuang’s gang, he had never hesitated to fight and cause havoc in Stillwater. However, bringing four bodies to the Wei family’s birthday celebration to cause a scene, he was a bit nervous. After all, it was their territory.

He knew the Wei family’s strength in Stillwater. If they were to go all out against the Bronze Commercial Chamber, Master Zhuang would probably not be able to withstand them.

In the smoke-filled cabin of the refrigerated truck, he leaned back in his chair, watching the glamorous figures coming and going outside, and couldn’t help but daydream about reaching their status one day.

Feeling claustrophobic from sitting in the cabin for so long, he opened the door, jumped out of the truck, and stretched his limbs.

“Bro, what gift did you bring for Mr. Wei? You’ve created quite a spectacle,” a curious passerby asked.

Dai Qiang took a deep drag from his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and stamped it out. He grinned and replied, “Could I tell you? Gifts should surprise the host. Can I just blurt it out?”

The man laughed awkwardly and joked, “It couldn’t be a truck full of gold bars, could it?”

Dai Qiang ignored him. He was curious about Mr. Wei’s reaction to the gift and couldn’t wait to see it.

“Wishing Mr. Wei success in all matters and a smooth journey ahead.”

When there were no more people coming forward to wish him well, Xiao Shun stood up and spoke. Unlike others who brought gifts along with their blessings, he only had a dry sentence. Although it was a kind sentence, it seemed to have nothing to do with birthday wishes.

However, Wei Lun didn’t seem to mind. He was all smiles and said with some satisfaction, “Dr. Xiao and our Wei family had some misunderstandings recently. Since Dr. Xiao has personally come to wish me a happy birthday today, it’s better to resolve disputes than to keep them going. Chief Zhao is also here today, let’s consider the matter between our two families settled.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Tianhua’s face changed slightly, and he looked at his grandfather Wei Lun in surprise.

“Should we let this kid off the hook so easily?” Xiao Shun had beaten him so hard that his nose hadn’t fully healed yet, and he had made Wei Lun so angry that he had fallen seriously ill, almost losing his life. How could Wei Tianhua swallow such humiliation? Besides, it wasn’t just about the Wei family now, there was also Mr. Cheng to consider.

Wei Lun was certainly aware of what his grandson was thinking. However, since the other party had sincerely sought peace and had Zhao Hetai backing them, the Wei family couldn’t really do anything to Xiao Shun openly. Although the Cheng family was powerful, they couldn’t reach everywhere. Zhao Hetai, who was in Harrow, was the real local lord.

Even if they didn’t need to save face for that bastard, they had to give Zhao Hetai some respect. So why should they cause a scene now? As for behind the scenes, the Wei family certainly wouldn’t let this kid live a peaceful life.

Xiao Shun smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, “Since I am here to wish Mr. Wei a happy birthday, I couldn’t possibly come empty-handed. I believe Mr. Wei already knows that my gift is parked outside your mansion. Just send someone to get it, as a token of my sincerity.”

“Mr. Xiao, you are too kind. We, the Wei family, appreciate your sentiment, but we can forgo the gift,” Wei Lun said.

“How could that be? I brought it all the way from Stillwater, full of sincerity. If Mr. Wei doesn’t accept it, I would be heartbroken,” Xiao Shun said seriously.

“Alright, if that’s the case, I will have someone bring it in from the entrance,” Wei Lun agreed, secretly sneering in his heart. Young people love to make a scene. Let’s see what kind of ‘sincerity’ you’ve brought.
