The Crazy Son-In-Law

The onlookers were at a distance, only seeing Huo Yuming and Xiao Shun each make a call on the same mobile phone. As for the content of the call, they naturally couldn’t hear clearly.

Huo Yuchang, however, who was at the feet of Xiao Shun, listened carefully. He knew he had met his match today and had no choice but to bow his head. “Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong,” he said. “I underestimated you, and I’ve offended you. I’m willing to accept punishment and apologize. As long as you spare us brothers, I will even kneel and apologize to you. How about it?”

Huo Yuming also hurriedly bowed his hand and said, “Young man, it was our mistake. Please don’t mind us. Let’s go to the restaurant. I’ll have the kitchen prepare a feast to apologize to you.”

“Wouldn’t it have been better if you had done this earlier?” Xiao Shun lifted his foot and let go of Huo Yuchang.

These two were not utterly unredeemable. Since they had been taught a lesson, there was no need to make things too hard for them. Seeing Xiao Shun’s softened attitude, Huo Yuming finally let out a sigh of relief, then waved at the onlookers. “All right, everyone disperse. It was a misunderstanding. Stop watching the show.”

He then hurried to Xiao Shun with a smile. “Brother, let’s go to the restaurant. I’m really sorry. About Mr. Dai…”

As they walked, Xiao Shun said, “Call him. I’ll talk to him.”

“Okay, okay.” Huo Yuming quickly dialed Dai Qiang’s number and handed the phone to Xiao Shun.

“Mr. Xiao?” Dai Qiang’s voice came quickly from the other end.

“I’m already in the car. I’ll be there soon. Please wait a moment.”

“The matter is resolved. You can go about your own business,” Xiao Shun said.

“Is that so? Well then, since it’s resolved, I won’t come. If you need anything, contact me. I’ll be there whenever you need,” said Dai Qiang cheerfully.

After humming in response, Xiao Shun handed the phone back to Huo Yuming. “I’ll be dining in private room number nine. Forget about the apology and don’t disturb us.”

The Huo brothers exchanged a glance.

“Brother Xiao is really generous. We’re truly ashamed. Please give us a chance to apologize, or we won’t be at peace,” said Huo Yuchang.

The Huo brothers didn’t understand Xiao Shun’s temper. Who knew whether he would come back to deal with them? On the other hand, if they could take this opportunity to get to know this young boss, it would be all benefit and no harm. After all, they say adversity makes strange bedfellows.

“Let’s talk about it another day. Today, I’m dining with my wife,” Xiao Shun replied.

Since Xiao Shun had said this, the Huo brothers didn’t insist anymore, but they couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. Missing such a character, it wouldn’t be easy to get acquainted again.

When Xiao Shun returned to the private room, Yao Cen and Wen Wanyu were still chatting privately. The room was soundproof, so they were oblivious to what had happened outside.

Seeing him come in, Yao Cen checked the time. “Why did it take you so long to move the car? It’s been almost half an hour. The dishes are cold. Should I order a few more for you?”

“No need, I’m not very hungry. A few bites will do. I couldn’t join your conversation anyway, so I took a walk outside,” Xiao Shun replied with a slight smile.

“If you two have something to talk about, you can chat slowly when you get home. Yao Cen and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. Of course, we have to chat properly. Are you unhappy?” Wen Wanyu provocatively said as she pulled Yao Cen into her arms.

Xiao Shun didn’t bother with her. His image in Wen Wanyu’s heart was deeply rooted and they didn’t spend much time together, so it would be difficult to change her hostility towards him overnight.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door to the private room was knocked. The restaurant manager and a waiter walked in.

He bowed slightly, smiling pleasantly. “Congratulations to the three of you for being our lucky customers tonight. We have prepared several signature dishes for you free of charge, as well as some gifts. We hope you enjoy your meal at our restaurant tonight.”

“Really? Thank you,” Yao Cen exclaimed joyfully. Even a person wealthy enough to rival a nation would not despise luck, as it could mean effortless gains and surprises, hence, it is evident that the majority of the world yearns for such effortless gains.

“What gift?” Wen Wanyu asked with a surprised face.

Xiao Shun remained calm, looking interestedly at the manager. The manager made a gesture, and a dozen waiters filed in, removing the original dishes and replacing them with signature dishes from the restaurant. In a blink of an eye, the table was full.

“We just ate… you’re going to stuff us to death,” Wen Wanyu muttered.

The manager smiled slightly and said, “These are all signature dishes from our restaurant. You can all try them. Here are three membership cards. From now on, you can dine for free at any of our franchised stores nationwide.”

“Is it permanent?” Wen Wanyu took the membership card, her face full of surprise. What a great deal, this meant they wouldn’t starve even if they stopped working.

“Yes, permanently free. As long as we’re still in business, this membership card will be permanently valid,” the manager said with a smile.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You don’t have a lucky customer every night, do you? Won’t that mean a loss?” Wen Wanyu asked incredulously.

“Of course, it’s not every night,” the manager replied, and then signaled to the waiter who brought a bottle of red wine. “This is a bottle of red wine from our restaurant for the three of you. Please enjoy.”

Yao Cen glanced at the bottle of wine and knew it was valuable. She couldn’t help but wonder, did they need to spend so much on a lucky customer?

Then she looked at Xiao Shun, who had left for half an hour. What had he been up to?

“Romanée-Conti.” Wen Wanyu took the red wine and glanced at it, “If I remember correctly, this bottle of wine should be worth over a hundred thousand, right?”

She looked up at the manager with a look of disbelief and asked, “Are you sure there’s no mistake?”

“Of course there’s no mistake, please enjoy,” the manager said, and then left the private room with the waiters.

Yao Cen and Wen Wanyu still couldn’t believe they were looking at a table full of delicious food, membership cards, and a bottle of wine worth over a hundred thousand.

Xiao Shun was somewhat amused and annoyed. Instead of making the Huo brothers apologize, they expressed their apologies in this way. They were really resourceful. After all, they were experienced business people, so it wasn’t surprising.

“Well… shall we eat again?” Wen Wanyu looked at the two of them and asked.

“Sure, let’s eat. It’s all served. If we don’t eat, it would be a waste,” Yao Cen said with a laugh. “I’m afraid I’ll gain a few pounds tonight.”

After having their fill, the three of them rested for a while before preparing to leave. As they walked out of the private room, they found that there were no other customers in the restaurant, and the large dining room was unusually quiet.
