The Crazy Son-In-Law

Tong Li sneered in his heart, how could such an unremarkable man be worthy of such a top-notch beauty? He should step aside!

“I like low-key people.” He laughed and said.

The car quickly stopped at the side of the road. Once everyone got out, a set of green stone steps leading up the mountain appeared in their sight.

“Let’s go, let’s go up the mountain.” Chen Hua picked up her backpack and shouted, taking the lead towards the entrance. The others followed closely.

In order to achieve his goal, Tong Li spared no expense. He had climbed this mountain many times since he was a child and was already bored with it.

He wouldn’t make this trip unless necessary. Isn’t it better to hang out with a few girls and have fun at the foot of the mountain?

Along the way, the forest was dense, waterfalls were abundant, and the scenery was pleasant.

The group would stop from time to time to take photos.

The path they took led directly to the temple, with a continuous flow of tourists. It’s clear that Yuxu has a great reputation.

“President Yao, that guy doesn’t seem like a good person.”

During a break, the always quiet Zhu Que moved closer to Yao Cen and said this out of the blue.

Yao Cen looked at her deep blue eyes and laughed, “How do you know?”

“Eyes, they can’t hide the truth.” Zhu Que said seriously.

“He always tries to get close to you.”

Throughout the journey, Tong Li took any opportunity to chat with Yao Cen. Zhu Que saw it all. The boss had entrusted his wife to her, she couldn’t let her run off with another man.

“We’re only staying here for two days and we’ll be back soon. Who he is doesn’t concern us.” Yao Cen took a sip of mineral water and said.

“Hmm.”

About two hours later, the group arrived at the temple.

The three large incense burners in the temple were already filled with incense sticks of various sizes. Smoke was swirling around, and believers of all ages were kneeling and praying for blessings.

Although Yao Cen didn’t believe in this, since she was here, she went along with Chang Li and the others to light the incense.

During this time, Tong Li and Chen Hua were waiting for them.

“Chang Li, you must seize the opportunity. Once you become Mrs. Tong, we will come here for vacation often.” Wen Xiaoxing joked softly.

“I don’t think I have a chance. Didn’t you notice that he’s been staring at President Yao all the time? And he’s so rich, how could he be interested in me?” Chang Li sighed.

She was somewhat self-aware. Along the way, she also figured out that Tong Li wasn’t here to meet Yuxu for her. She was just a bridge, and Tong Li’s target was Yao Cen.

Yao Cen pretended not to hear and didn’t respond.

“Don’t lose hope. You still have a chance. President Yao is already married. Maybe he will settle for second best if he feels there’s no hope, and choose you.” Wen Xiaoxing said.

“Stop it, am I some second-rate product?” Chang Li retorted.

At this time, Tong Li and Chen Hua came over. The former asked, “Have you finished offering incense? I will take you to see Yuxu.”

“We’re done. Let’s go.” said Chang Li.

Since she couldn’t become Mrs. Tong, she still wanted to calculate whether her Prince Charming was lame or why he hadn’t appeared yet.

Tong Li led them towards the backyard of the temple.

That was where the monks usually lived. Tong Li had been there as a child when he followed his father, and although it had been refurbished since, the overall layout hadn’t changed, so he was familiar with it.

As the group reached the entrance to the backyard, a young monk stopped them.

“Please stop, honorable guests. The backyard is our place for quiet cultivation. It’s not convenient for you to enter.”

“Oh, could you please inform your master, Yuxu, that Tong Li is here to visit?” Tong Li said.

The young monk, with his clear and large eyes, took a good look at him and the beautiful ladies following him, “My master is in seclusion and it’s not convenient to meet guests. Mr. Tong, please leave.”

“Why don’t you just relay the message as asked, why so much talk?” Chen Hua said, looking unsatisfied.

“Do you know that your Taoist temple is built on the scenic spot owned by the Tong family? Do you believe I can have it demolished in a minute?”

Tong Li immediately glared at him, “How can you talk to people like that? Do you have no manners?”

Chen Hua shrank his head. Wasn’t it always like this before? Were there any places in this hundred-mile radius that the people of the Tong family couldn’t go?

“Little monk, here’s some money. You can buy some snacks or something.” Tong Li took some bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the little monk’s hand.

The little monk pretended to refuse a few times before accepting, his face brightening, “You wait here, I’ll go and report to my master.”

After saying this, he scurried through the door. With a clang, the door was closed again.

Chen Hua was a bit displeased, “This Yuxu is really high and mighty. To meet him, one needs to report first. Can’t he just make a call and ask him to come out?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? The Taoist priest is in seclusion, can he meet just anyone?” Tong Li said with a serious face.

The dignified young master of the Tong family had to spend money to meet Yuxu, which made him lose face.

But in front of so many beauties, he could not lose his temper, he had to maintain his demeanor, at least appear to have some manners, right?

“This little monk must be new here and doesn’t recognize me, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.” He managed a smile and turned to Yao Cen and the others.

Soon, the little monk came out, his face apologetic, “Please leave, my master is in seclusion and not receiving guests.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Did you tell him who I am?” Tong Li asked, looking incredulous.

“I did.” The little monk replied briefly.

The little monk’s brief reply made Tong Li lose face. His strong image, which he had built in front of Yao Cen from last night to just now, was teetering.

This couldn’t be, how could Yuxu dare not give face to me, Tong Li?

This little monk must have taken the money and didn’t do the job. Maybe he just went in for a walk and came out to perfunctorily me.

He tried to suppress the anger rising in his chest and forced a smile, “Little Daoist, tell me the truth, did you really go and report to your master, or did you think the money I gave you wasn’t enough?”

“How could you say that, sir? As a monk, I wouldn’t lie. How can I deceive you?” The little monk replied.

“Maybe we should just leave it. Since the Taoist priest is in seclusion, let’s not disturb him.” Chang Li suggested.

“Yes, Mr. Tong, it’s okay. We can come back when we get the chance.” Wen Xiaoxing also chimed in.

The two ladies were quite understanding, but for Tong Li, this was a matter of face, which was always a big deal for these young masters.
