The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Yu, are you okay?” Inside a speeding Porsche Cayenne, Mu Sheng was driving, with Cheng Yu and Mu Yuxin seated in the back. Mu Yuxin looked at Cheng Yu, her heart aching at his dejected appearance.

Her Yu had always been a gallant gentleman – she had never seen him so disheveled. Mu Yuxin had a complex mix of emotions, both angry and a little relieved.

What angered her was the yokel who had upset her Yu, which in turn upset her. The slight sense of relief came from the fact that Tang Shishi now had a boyfriend. He might be an unimaginable country bumpkin, but if Cheng Yu gave up on Tang Shishi because of this, wouldn’t her chances increase?

But how could that be possible? She knew all too well that Tang Shishi was so beautiful, with many young talents in the capital who liked her. A privileged scion once pursued Tang Shishi, and his family soon completely disappeared from the capital.

Others soon knew it was difficult and retreated. How could a country bumpkin stop Cheng Yu’s feelings for Tang Shishi? Mu Yuxin sighed silently in her heart. Even knowing it was impossible, she had to protect her Yu.

That yokel was in for bad luck, which was good. It would serve as a lesson for that insolent guy who dared to be arrogant because of Tang Shishi and even dared to demand an apology from her.

Regarding the matter of bursting their tires, Mu Sheng told her it was just a coincidence that the tire had a problem. Who could burst a tire with a kick?

“I’m fine, just need a bit of rest,” Cheng Yu forced a smile.

“Okay.” Mu Yuxin obediently nodded, carefully placing her delicate hand on his.

Cheng Yu gently patted her hand, smiling warmly. It felt so warm… Mu Yuxin’s heart bloomed with joy.

Mu Sheng, unlike the naive Mu Yuxin, knew that the man who had captured the heart of the stunning Tang Shishi couldn’t be ordinary, as evident from his kick.

Judging from Cheng Yu’s reaction, he must know that guy and might even have had interactions with him. Otherwise, he would not have refrained from asking who the guy was. That was not his style.

Mu Sheng wanted to ask about that guy’s background. However, considering Cheng Yu’s state, asking about it now seemed inappropriate. He had chosen the place for their meal today and felt a bit guilty. Therefore, he kept silent and drove Cheng Yu to his villa.

…

“You’re so boring. A beautiful woman is walking with you, and you don’t say a word,” Tang Shishi said with a side glance at Xiao Shun, smiling.

But it was this boring man who she couldn’t forget. Every time she recalled their moments together, she couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes, even Le Wen thought she was hysterical.

Only she knew that she was agitated, but wasn’t spring already over?

“You didn’t say anything either.”

“Shouldn’t men be more proactive?”

“It’s late. You should go home, or your dad might start worrying,” Xiao Shun said seriously.

“…” Tang Shishi pouted, “Alright, you’re probably tired as well. We’ll see each other tomorrow, I’ll pick you up from the hotel.”

“There’s no need, it’s too much trouble. I’m a grown man, I can simply take a cab to your company,” Xiao Shun said.

“Alright, see you then,” Tang Shishi smiled.

After hailing a taxi to send Tang Shishi home, Xiao Shun also returned to his hotel.

The next day, he had arranged to meet Tang Shishi at the company at ten in the morning. He got up at eight, had a simple wash and breakfast.

Following his wife’s instructions, since he was going to a formal occasion, he wore his grey suit that had once dazzled Yao Cen, along with a tie.

Indeed, clothes make the man. Immediately, he transformed from a country bumpkin to a social elite. He admired himself in the mirror for a few minutes before heading out to Kumi Group by taxi.

The journey was smooth, and he arrived at Kumi Group before half-past nine.

The towering office building, with its glass curtain walls reflecting the brilliant sunlight, was very impressive. He walked in confidently, and the security at the entrance did not stop him, seeing his well-dressed appearance.

If he had worn yesterday’s jacket, he might have been stopped, or at least questioned.

“Who is this? I’ve never seen him before. When did such a handsome man join our company? I’m a bit smitten, don’t anyone dare snatch him from me.”

“You already have a boyfriend, always wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Aren’t you afraid you’ll get too full?”

“I’m not afraid, I’m willing to take the risk.”

“He’s so handsome! Could he be a celebrity? Is he our company’s new spokesperson?”

“Look at his butt, isn’t it quite firm? He must be good in bed.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Xiao Shun’s arrival on the 38th floor, where Kumi Group was located, immediately caused a stir among the company’s female employees, who began to whisper among themselves.

With his keen senses, he could clearly hear these women praising him. He thought to himself, no wonder Tang Shishi was such a rascal, it must be the influence of Kumi Group’s corporate culture.

“Miss, I’m here to see your president. We have an appointment,” Xiao Shun said to the drooling receptionist.

“Oh… Oh… I’m sorry, which president are you looking for?” The receptionist came back to her senses, her face flushed as she stuttered.

“Tang Li or Tang Shishi, either one is fine.”

The receptionist was speechless. No one in the company had ever dared to call Tang Li by his full name.

Click, click, click! The sound of high-heeled shoes echoed. A scolding voice followed, “What are you doing huddled at the door instead of working?” The office girls scattered back to their desks.

This voice was stern, but it wasn’t Tang Shishi’s. Xiao Shun traced the source of the sound and saw a familiar figure approaching.

Tall and aloof, dressed in a grey professional suit, it was Lin Jiayin, the one who had been slapped by Xiao Shun during the negotiations at Starline Bio.

As the company’s technical director and senior management, Lin Jiayin knew early on that Kumi Group had obtained the overseas agency rights of Starline and that Xiao Shun was now the second-largest shareholder of the company. Xiao Shun had let her off the hook at the bar that day, so she didn’t hold any animosity towards him now. Knowing that Xiao Shun was at the company, she personally came to greet him, but was taken aback at how different he looked from when she saw him in Stillwater.

Lin Jiayin walked up slowly, extended her hand, and smiled politely, “It’s great to see you again, Mr. Xiao.”

A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Xiao Shun was unsure if this woman still held a grudge against him. But now that he was a major shareholder of the company, he didn’t have to hold back, not that he ever had.

He reached out and held Lin Jiayin’s soft and fair hand, “I hope I didn’t surprise you.”
