The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Your son slapped this shop owner, and I asked him to apologize. It’s that simple.” Xiao Shun said with a faint smile.

“Just for that?” Tong An Tai couldn’t believe it.

“Yes, just for that. But your son refused. So, I had no choice but to discipline him for you.” Xiao Shun said.

“My son doesn’t need someone else to discipline him for me. Just a small innkeeper, so what if he was slapped? At most, my Tong family pays him some money, is it worth getting physical?”

Tong An Tai glanced at Ge Da Zhi and almost laughed out of anger.

Just a small innkeeper, what’s the big deal if he was slapped or even if his inn was demolished?

“How much do you plan to pay for a slap?” Xiao Shun asked.

“Ten thousand should be enough.” Tong An Tai paused and said coldly.

Xiao Shun took a bank card out of his pocket and put it on the table, looking at Ge Da Zhi and said, “I should have tens of millions in this card. Mr. Ge, go slap him, I’ll pay for it.”

Actually, he wasn’t sure how much money he had in the card, but there should be tens of millions for sure.

Ge Da Zhi didn’t dare to slap Tong An Tai. But Xiao Shun didn’t seem to be a pushover either. He was stuck in the middle, not knowing what to do, and didn’t dare to interrupt.

“Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this?” Tong An Tai asked, looking annoyed.

“You said a slap costs ten thousand, didn’t you? I have a few tens of millions here, enough for a long time.” Xiao Shun said.

“You… making things up!” Tong An Tai was speechless.

“Or do you think Mr. Ge’s face is cheap and can be slapped at will, while your Tong family’s face is more precious and can’t be slapped?” Xiao Shun said with a cold smile.

“So, Mr. Xiao, what’s your plan?” Tong An Tai asked.

“Apologize.” Xiao Shun replied succinctly.

“Apologize, my ass!” Tong Li cursed fiercely at this point, “Dad, stop wasting words with him, kill this bastard!”

“Shut up!” Tong An Tai rebuked, “You’ve lost all face for the Tong family!”

Then, suppressing his anger and smiling calmly, he looked at Xiao Shun, “A quarrel should be resolved, not escalated. Since you are a friend of Yuxu, you are also my friend. For this trivial matter, we shouldn’t have come to this point. Tonight, I’ll host a banquet at Moon Bay as an apology to you. What do you think?”

Tong An Tai was not a fool like Tong Li.

Yuxu was not only greedy but also looked down on most people. It was rare for someone to catch his eye. At this time, he saw Yuxu standing next to Xiao Shun, and even though he did not understand cultivation, he clearly noticed that compared to Xiao Shun, Yuxu’s aura was much weaker.

“Is it so hard for the Tong family to apologize?” Xiao Shun asked with a light smile.

“I don’t need your apology. Just have your son apologize to Boss Ge. It’s that simple.”

Seeing Xiao Shun’s indifference and refusal to leave him any dignity, Tong An Tai felt a wave of anger. He, Tong An Tai, had not faced such embarrassment in more than twenty years.

“My son is also badly injured. Isn’t that enough to compensate for the slap he gave to Boss Ge?” He said solemnly.

“It’s two different things. If he apologized earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this.” Xiao Shun replied.

He thought to himself, the score for seducing my wife has not yet been settled.

“Master, this friend of yours is really not giving face to our Tong family.” Tong An Tai looked at Yuxu, implying that he hoped he could mediate.

This Xiao Shun was indeed troublesome and he couldn’t quite figure out who he was.

“Mr. Tong, it’s better to do as he says.” Yuxu succinctly said.

He guessed that Xiao Shun was obviously at odds with Tong Li today, and while he said it was for justice for Ge Dazhi, it was actually out of anger. The blame was on Tong Li for annoying his wife.

Tong An Tai’s face turned pale. It was one thing for Xiao Shun to disrespect him, but Yuxu, who had received many benefits from the Tong family over the years, was adding insult to injury, which was infuriating.

“What if I refuse?”

“Your son asked the same question, and look at him now.” Xiao Shun said with some impatience.

“As I said, if he doesn’t apologize today, don’t expect to leave here.”

“What if I forcefully take him away?” Tong An Tai asked.

Xiao Shun lifted his eyebrows and said firmly, “The Tong family is famous in Mount Kumi. If you don’t mind ruining your family’s reputation, you can try.”

“You…” Tong An Tai was speechless with anger.

He looked back at Tong Li after a moment of silence and said, “Apologize to him.”

Tong Li looked at Tong An Tai in disbelief, not believing what he had heard.

A few seconds later, he responded emotionally, “Dad? You want me to apologize? I’ve been beaten up like this, and I still have to apologize to others? You’re my father, you don’t want to take revenge for me, and you want me to apologize?”

“If you weren’t in this condition, I would slap you!” Tong An Tai said with frustration.

He was upset, but if it weren’t for this damn kid, he wouldn’t be in this position.

He would remember this grudge, but now was not the time for confrontation. He had to get Tong Li out of here first.

Although the Tong family had a wide network in this area and a good relationship with the local government, they couldn’t be too blatant.

Being tough wouldn’t work; the two bodyguards he brought were not enough.

If he called for more people, there would be tourists coming and going outside. If it escalated, it would be bad for both parties. In broad daylight, the head of the prestigious Tong family appearing at a brawl scene, the Tong family couldn’t afford this disgrace.

Weighing the pros and cons, he had to swallow his pride for now.

“Go!” Tong An Tai shouted angrily.

“Fine, I’ll apologize, okay?” Tong Li said unwillingly.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Two bodyguards guided him to stand before Ge Dazhi and Lv Qin. With a face full of rage, he clenched his teeth and reluctantly muttered, “I’m sorry.”

Ge Dazhi and his wife quickly waved their hands, “No need, no need.”

How could common folk withstand an apology from the young master of the Tong family? This wasn’t so much a pleasant surprise, but rather an alarming concern.

“Sincere it’s not, try again!” Xiao Shun’s tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable power.

Tong Li gritted his teeth forcefully, his facial muscles twitched a few times, he tried to soften his expression, and managed to squeeze out a semblance of sincerity, “I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

Ge Dazhi looked helplessly at Xiao Shun, whether to forgive or not was clearly not his call.

“Alright, you can go now,” Xiao Shun said.

As they watched the figures of the Tong father and son disappear from the courtyard gate, Xiao Shun let out a barely perceptible sigh.

“Mr. Xiao, you were so imposing just now!” Wen Xiaoxing said with a face full of admiration.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Xiao to be so firm in crucial times. That Tong Li is too bullying, he deserves it.”

“Yao Ke is standing here, don’t you want your bonus this month?” Meng Wanying teased.

Wen Xiaoxing chuckled, “Our Yao’s affection for Mr. Xiao is stronger than gold, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t challenge Mr. Xiao.”
