The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 370: The Belle is Taken



“What are you talking about? I do that because of work. With you always wearing a stone-faced expression, someone has to play the good cop, right?” Xiao Shun said.

“Who are you calling stone-faced?” Yao Cen pinched his waist hard.

He quickly dodged, and the two chatted aimlessly for a while before resting. Xiao Shun had no interest in having his fortune told by Yuxu, but he also couldn’t ask Yuxu to come down the mountain just to read the fortunes of these employees. It seemed inappropriate.

So if Yao Cen and the others wanted to go, he would let them. After they had seen Yuxu, Xiao Shun would contact Yuxu to arrange a time to meet. After all, the house wasn’t going anywhere.

Xiao Shun had heard of a cave here he planned to explore the next day. The Qi in the mountains was denser than in other places. The formation of such caves often took thousands of years, and perhaps some treasures could be found inside, though the chances were slim.

The next day, accompanied by rooster crows and the chirping of sparrows from the jujube tree in the yard, the quiet village quickly came to life. The morning mist lingered among the verdant mountains, looking like a fairyland.

From a distance, wisps of fog flowed between the mountains, like a vivid ink painting, full of poetic and picturesque charm. The small dishes served by the innkeeper for breakfast were also exceptionally delicious.

After breakfast, everyone chose their desired scenic spots and set off one after another. A seven-seat Toyota business car stopped at the front of the guest house where Xiao Shun was staying. The farmhouse inn in the mountains had a somewhat poetic name.

Yao Cen, Chang Li, Zhu Que, and two other female colleagues, along with Tong Li and the acne-scarred man named Chen Hua, filled the car seats. Tong Li had chatted with Chang Li on WeChat last night. Young people can easily start a conversation, and with his expertise in courting women, he quickly learned from Chang Li that they were from Stillwater and were participating in a company event.

“Mr. Tong, how long will it take to get there?” asked Chang Li after getting on the bus.

“It will take two or three minutes to drive to the foot of the mountain, then we’ll have to hike. It’ll probably take two or three hours to reach the Daoist temple at the top of the mountain,” Tong Li replied.

“Oh,” Chang Li responded.

“Miss Chang, could you introduce us to your friends?” Chen Hua asked as he drove, while Tong Li twisted his head from the passenger seat to look at them.

“This is our CEO Yao, Yao’s assistant Zhu Que, Wen Xiaoxing, and Meng Wanying,” Chang Li introduced them one by one.

After both sides exchanged smiles and nods of acknowledgment, they had a preliminary understanding of each other.

Tong Li took out a few cards from his backpack and handed them to Chang Li, saying, “These are VIP cards for the scenic area. You won’t need to buy tickets when you come in the future, and you can also enjoy all the attractions and facilities that require additional tickets for free.”

“Really?” Chang Li received the VIP cards he handed over with a surprised face, then politely said, “Is that okay? We just met…”

“They’re just VIP cards, not anything valuable. Our family owns shares in the scenic area, so it’s no big deal,” Tong Li laughed and said.

Apart from Yao Cen and Zhu Que, the other three girls were taken aback.

Especially Chang Li, who suddenly felt like Cinderella about to become a princess.

Seeing Yao Cen’s calm expression, Tong Li felt a little frustrated. In the past, when he mentioned this to young girls, the normal reaction was like Chang Li’s.

This was a natural scenic spot, and their family was the never-falling money tree. They could just lie down and count the money.

But the more this happened, the more it aroused his desire to conquer.

Such rare beauties, which one isn’t proud? Even if they pretend, they have to act it out. Moreover, she is the boss of the company, she naturally has to appear calm at this time, she can’t behave like Chang Li and the others, as if they’ve never seen the world.

“No wonder Mr. Tong could meet Master Yuxu, so that’s how it is. You’re amazing,” Meng Wanying admired.

“Not everyone can meet Master Yuxu. Our Tong family has some connections with Master Yuxu. If I go, he will definitely meet me,” Tong Li said with a smug smile.

“Mr. Tong, you’re so outstanding, there must be many girls chasing you. I’ve seen several beauties along the way.”

Meng Wanying joked, “You must meet a lot since you’re often here.”

“I’m not here often. I just happened to be here for something these days. My father asked me to visit Master Yuxu on the mountain. I happened to meet you beautiful ladies, it’s fate,” Tong Li laughed.

“There are many beautiful women coming and going here every day, but there are very few like CEO Yao. At least I’ve never seen any,” Chen Hua added at this point.

“Of course, our CEO Yao is one of the most beautiful women in Stillwater,” Chang Li said.

“I don’t know how many men admire our CEO Yao. But our CEO Yao is already taken, and she is very much in love with our Mr. Xiao.”

Chang Li was quite attractive, at least in this car, the only one who could pose a threat to her was Yao Cen.

Although Zhu Que was also very beautiful, she rarely spoke, almost like a piece of wood, so Chang Li played a little trick to prevent Tong Li from getting any ideas.

With Yao Cen’s IQ, how could she not understand Chang Li’s little scheme? A group of women together without some intrigue, wouldn’t that be strange?

Of course, she didn’t mind these little tricks. As a woman in her late twenties, it was understandable to use some tactics for her own happiness.

Plus, she had no interest in Tong Li, a man who always used his wealth as a capital to pick up girls. She simply looked down on him.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Her own man was much better, who would hide his wealth even from his own wife. He never boasted about his tens of billions of pocket money…

Upon hearing Chang Li’s words, Tong Li’s mind went blank for a moment, his heart felt as if it had been thrown into icy water, cold and suffocating.

Tong Li had encountered many beautiful women who were already taken, and stealing someone else’s girlfriend was his special talent. Whether the other party had a boyfriend or was married was not a factor he considered when choosing his bed partner.

But when he heard this news, he couldn’t help but tremble.

Only I am worthy of a top beauty like Yao Cen! I will not let anyone else touch her.

He thought arrogantly and domineeringly, as if he had already regarded Yao Cen as his own woman.

“The man who is favored by President Yao must be an excellent person. Didn’t he come with you? I wonder if I have the honor to meet him.” Tong Li put away his thoughts and asked Yao Cen.

“If there is a chance, I can introduce you.” Yao Cen replied with a smile.

“You should have seen him last night. He was sitting next to us, so low-key and affable.” Wen Xiaoxing said.

Tong Li thought about it, but he had absolutely no impression of the man sitting next to Yao Cen last night. Indeed, he was too inconspicuous, like an invisible man.
