The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Of course, Hu is on summer vacation now. It’s not a bad idea to take her out for some fun,” Yao Cen said with a smile, then turned to look at Xiao Shun. “Let’s do this, Zhu Que and I will handle the remaining procedures tomorrow and you scout out a place to live. It’s inevitable that we’ll have to visit this branch office frequently and staying in a hotel indefinitely isn’t feasible.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Shun agreed without hesitation. Now, flush with cash, buying a house was not a big deal. He considered it an investment.

“Have you eaten enough? Shall we order some more?”

Most of the food they had ordered was nearly gone, and Xiao Shun noticed that Zhu Que still seemed eager to eat more, so he asked her.

“I’m not full yet,” Zhu Que replied straightforwardly.

Xiao Shun smiled, turned to the shop owner, and said, “Owner, bring another grilled fish and twenty skewers.”

“Coming right up! Just wait a moment; it’ll be ready soon,” the owner replied.

“Thank you, boss,” Zhu Que said with a smile.

“Burp!” Just as she finished speaking, she burped and quickly covered her mouth, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

“It seems you’ve become quite accustomed to life here,” Xiao Shun chuckled.

With an embarrassed look on her face, Zhu Que replied, “Yes.”

Her life was indeed more relaxed and fulfilling than before. As an assassin, every mission was like dancing on the edge of a knife, and there was no thrill of victory after each successful mission. Instead, she would feel incredibly empty during the rest periods between tasks.

“That’s good,” Xiao Shun said.

A few minutes later, a young girl brought over a golden, crispy grilled fish. She bore some resemblance to the barbecue stall owner, probably his daughter.

“Here’s your grilled fish, please enjoy,” she said.

Just as she set down the grilled fish, a burly man with dragon and phoenix tattoos on his bare chest at a nearby table threw a bottle of beer, which landed right at her feet. The sudden act scared her into letting out a sharp scream and she quickly moved to the side.

“What the hell do you mean? I ordered my grilled fish before them, so why did theirs come out first? Are you looking down on me?” the burly man bellowed angrily.

The surrounding attention was immediately drawn over.

The shop owner’s wife, a woman in her fifties, quickly checked the order slip and panicked. She had indeed served the wrong table.

With a sheepish smile, she said, “Mr. Jun, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My daughter got confused.”

She then shouted at the young girl, “Hurry up and serve the food! What are you standing there for?”

They knew who this burly man was. His name was He Jun, a notorious local hoodlum they could not afford to provoke.

On the other hand, He Jun did order before Xiao Shun and the others, so it was fair to serve him first. The blame was solely on her daughter’s confusion, which caused unnecessary trouble.

The girl, her eyes welling up with tears, seemed at a loss for what to do. She apologized to Xiao Shun and the others, “I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay, just be more careful next time, and serve it to them,” Yao Cen said with a gentle smile.

The girl nodded gratefully and took the grilled fish to He Jun and his companions.

He Jun and his men didn’t hold the girl accountable for serving the wrong table. Instead, they shifted their attention to Yao Cen. Yao Cen and Zhu Que had different styles of beauty but their ability to attract male attention was undeniably strong.

Since Xiao Shun and the two women entered the courtyard, they could feel over a dozen lustful gazes occasionally glancing their way.

He didn’t think he was the one attracting these looks; having two beautiful women with him was unavoidable. He couldn’t exactly cover other people’s eyes.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Ladies, why don’t you come and join us?” He Jun smirked, thinking he looked handsome, and called out to Yao Cen.

Yao Cen pretended not to hear and glanced at Xiao Shun. He seemed completely unbothered.

“Mr. Jun, they’re not giving you face.”

“These two girls must be from out of town. I’ve never seen such beautiful women in Harrow before. It’s normal they don’t know Mr. Jun.”

“Well then, let’s get to know each other.”

The men talked as if Xiao Shun didn’t exist. He didn’t stand out, which wasn’t surprising.

Seeing Xiao Shun remain silent as they talked, He Jun and his men assumed he was a pushover and became even more brazen. They got up and walked over, standing next toXiao Shun’s table and leering at Yao Cen and Zhu Que.

“Since the two beauties won’t grace us with their presence, I’ll have to come over personally. No ulterior motives, just want to make friends with you two,” He Jun said, pulling up a chair and sitting down beside Yao Cen.

Without waiting for Yao Cen to respond, he gestured to the young girl. “Bring the fish over here, and the menu as well. I’ll order a few more dishes.”

The young girl, upon hearing his words, quickly brought the grilled fish over.

“We don’t want to be friends with you. Please go back to your table,” Zhu Que said, looking at He Jun seriously.

Perhaps it was Zhu Que’s directness that left He Jun and his men momentarily taken aback.

But they were not the type to be easily dissuaded, especially when it came to flirting. Naturally, they wouldn’t back down just because a pretty woman rejected them, even if she did so quite bluntly.

“Beauty, it’s good to have more friends. It’s obvious you two are from out of town. I know this area well. If you ever run into trouble here, just mention my name and it’ll definitely help,” He Jun said, his eyes lingering on Zhu Que’s chest.

The local girls simply couldn’t compare to her figure. And the girl next to her, who was incredibly beautiful, was in a league of her own.

“Guys, my friend has already made it clear she doesn’t want to be friends with you. Please go back to your seats,” Xiao Shun said, noticing a hint of annoyance on Zhu Que’s face. If these men continued to pester them, Zhu Que might draw her gun. Before she could, Xiao Shun “kindly” reminded He Jun and his men.

Xiao Shun’s sudden interjection caught He Jun and his men off guard.

“Finally got the nerve to speak, have you? What business is it of yours who Mr. Jun talks to? Get lost,” one of the burly, short men sneered at him.

“Ladies, see this? It’s not safe to go out with a coward like this. You two should stick with Mr. Jun from now on. No one would dare talk to you like this,” the short man said to Yao Cen and Zhu Que.

“You, get lost,” He Jun turned to Xiao Shun, displeasure on his face.

Zhu Que was already having a hard time holding back. Her hand reached behind her discreetly, but Xiao Shun quickly gave her a look to stop.
