The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Dad, I have something to attend to with Mr. Xiao, so I won’t be returning to the company,” Tang Shishi said to Tang Li as they exited the restaurant.

“Alright, you two go ahead. Mr. Xiao doesn’t often visit the capital, so why not show him around? The capital has many historical sites and landmarks worth exploring,” Tang Li replied, seemingly at ease.

Afterwards, Tang Shishi pulled Xiao Shun into her car.

“Where are you taking me?” Xiao Shun asked cautiously after they got in the vehicle.

“Do you think I’m going to eat you?” Tang Shishi retorted, rolling her eyes. “As if anyone could do anything to you with your skills…”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Xiao Shun responded with an awkward smile.

“You mentioned you were looking for someone, right? Given only a photo and a name, it’s going to be difficult to find them among the more than 20 million people here. I’ll take you to meet someone who should be able to help,” Tang Shishi said as she started the car.

“Okay.”

Approximately half an hour later, their car pulled into the parking lot of a high-end residential complex. Tang Shishi dialed two calls but no one answered.

“That girl, probably overslept again,” she muttered to herself, ending the call. Turning to Xiao Shun, she said, “Let’s go, we’ll go up directly.”

The residential complex was designed with one elevator per household. As they exited the elevator, they arrived directly at their destination’s front door. Tang Shishi rang the doorbell several times.

As Xiao Shun was about to voice his concern about their abrupt visit, the door swung open, revealing a petite girl who appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Her hair was messy, her face was bare, and she was wearing a thin, pink camisole with no bra, and cartoon printed underwear. Her bare, straight legs ended with cute, bare feet on the floor.

“Shishi, why are you here?” The girl squinted at Tang Shishi with one eye, sounding rather reluctant. Then, her gaze fell on Xiao Shun beside Tang Shishi, and her pupils suddenly dilated.

“Oh my God! A handsome guy!”

In one swift motion, she shut the door in Tang Shishi’s face, leaving her standing outside, stunned.

“Has she gone crazy?”

“Umm… are all the women in your family this bold?” Xiao Shun asked, rubbing his temples.

“Be glad she was wearing something. Otherwise, you would’ve gotten an eyeful,” Tang Shishi retorted, shooting him a look. “That’s Tang Guo, my cousin.”

As they were talking, the door opened again to reveal Tang Guo, now dressed in a black miniskirt and stockings, her figure more defined.

Tang Shishi shared a resigned look with Xiao Shun and said, “Let’s go in… the room is a bit messy, just find a place to sit.”

Once inside the vast house, filled with stuffed toys and anime merchandise, Xiao Shun wondered how this young girl could possibly help.

Ignoring his doubts, Tang Guo stared at Xiao Shun with wide eyes, asking, “Shishi, why did you come to see me?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“I need your help to find someone,” Tang Shishi replied.

Ignoring her words, Tang Guo turned her lovesick gaze to Xiao Shun and asked, “Will you be my boyfriend?”

Xiao Shun was speechless.

“If you want a boyfriend, go find one yourself,” Tang Shishi interjected, looping an arm around Tang Guo’s petite shoulders and steering her towards the bedroom.

What was going on? Xiao Shun was left utterly bemused.

After a while, he heard Tang Shishi’s voice from the bedroom, “Xiao Shun, come in.”

Expecting to walk into an intimate scene, Xiao Shun hesitated before entering the room. However, instead of a romantic scene, he found a messy room filled with clothes and underwear scattered around, anime posters covering the walls, and a multitude of computers.

Tang Guo was sitting on the bed, a pair of cat-ear headphones on her head, her fingers dancing over the keyboard rhythmically, with Tang Shishi sitting beside her, watching the computer screen intently.

“What’s happening?” Xiao Shun asked quietly.

“Ever heard of hackers?” Tang Shishi queried.

“I have.”

“Well, I’ve asked Tang Guo to hack into the capital’s resident registration system, filter through the local residents by name and age, and see if we can find the person you’re looking for. It’s more efficient than wandering aimlessly around the city,” Tang Shishi explained.

Surprised, Xiao Shun looked at Tang Guo anew.

“Don’t underestimate her. She’s not just an internet addict, but alsoa skilled hacker. According to her, she’s ranked third on some hacker leaderboard, though I’m not sure if that’s true,” Tang Shishi explained, noticing Xiao Shun’s expression.

“Impressive,” Xiao Shun sincerely praised.

Other than his master, he hadn’t really admired anyone else until now. Looking at Tang Guo, he felt a sense of respect. She was truly talented.

“Handsome guy, will you be my boyfriend?” Despite her busy fingers, Tang Guo looked up at Xiao Shun and asked again, a dreamy smile on her face.

Tang Shishi immediately slapped her on the back of her head, lifted one side of her headphones, and whispered threateningly, “Get back to work.”

Tang Guo rolled her eyes, pouted, and channeled her annoyance into her typing, her fingers dancing even faster on the keyboard.

Xiao Shun was puzzled. The girl was pretty and young; she shouldn’t lack suitors. Why was she so obsessed with having a boyfriend? Could it be his unique charm that attracted her? He thought egotistically.

“You two wait outside. There’s food in the fridge. I’ll call you when I’m done,” Tang Guo said without looking up from the screen, her fingers still flying across the keyboard.

“Let’s go. We’ll let her work,” Tang Shishi said, giving Tang Guo an indulgent look before turning to Xiao Shun.
