The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Dad, why are you here?” Song Linger looked at him warily.

“If you’re trying to dissuade me from going to Harrow, don’t bother.”

Song Qingzhou snorted, “I won’t stop you from going to Harrow this time, since you’re doing it for the country. But as your father, I have to remind you to be careful.”

“I know. Since Stillwater is so close to Harrow, I’ll come back and visit you and grandfather when I have time,” Song Linger said with a smile, hearing that he didn’t oppose her going to Harrow.

“Take this,” Song Qingzhou threw her an electronic key: “I have a villa near Riverland Bay, now I’m giving it to you.”

“Thanks dad!” Song Linger said with a grin.

“You ungrateful brat,” Song Qingzhou shook his head helplessly.

Then he looked at Duan Jia, “When are you guys leaving?”

“In a couple days,” Duan Jia said.

“Take care of the kids when you get there. Call me right away if there’s anything you can’t handle,” Song Qingzhou said.

“You think too highly of me. Your daughter can take on both of us now. I’d have to be capable to look after them,” Duan Jia said scratching his head.

“Don’t worry too much. Xiao Shun is always prudent, nothing should go wrong,” he said.

“Prudent my ass, he almost died last time,” Duan Jia grumbled.

Song Qingzhou frowned worriedly. Now he wasn’t sure if giving Xiao Shun such a big responsibility was right or wrong.

If it were someone else, he might not have so many concerns. The key was that his own daughter was involved now.

Plus, with the Hero Cup about to start, Harrow was filled with all kinds of people now. He couldn’t help but worry.

“Last time was an accident. If they fought again, my master would definitely not lose this time. My master is not the same as before, he’s much stronger now. Don’t worry,” Song Linger said confidently.

She had seen with her own eyes how Xiao Shun’s cultivation improved almost a level every day, like a monster.

Song Qingzhou gave them some more reminders before leaving.

Right after he left, Xiao Shun called.

“Come to Harrow tomorrow. Remember to bring Long San’s mother and Hu. Be safe on the road,” Xiao Shun said.

Originally he planned to find a place to stay first before having Duan Jia and Song Linger come over. But now that housing was settled, and the Old School Society auction was this weekend, he had to make preparations early.

The next morning, Duan Jia and Song Linger set off from Stillwater to Harrow, picking up Long San’s mother and Hu from Starline Bio on the way.

Around noon, a black Mercedes sedan and a blue sports car slowly drove into the courtyard of Lakeview Ranch villa.

Xiao Shun and the others didn’t go out today, waiting for them at home instead.

“Auntie Zhu Que!”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Hu cheered and ran towards Zhu Que as soon as she got out of the car, showing they got along very well on a daily basis.

Zhu Que bent down to hug her. Her beautiful and profound face always looked cold and distant, giving off an unapproachable feeling. But now it looked much softer.

“Uncle Xiao, Auntie Yao, Hu missed you so much!”

Hu was much more outgoing now, speaking sweetly.

“Did you? Do you want to sleep with me tonight then?”

Yao Cen pinched her cheek and asked with a smile. After almost a year, her complexion had also improved a lot compared to their first meeting, rosy and smooth.

“Okay, I’ll sleep with Auntie Yao and Auntie Zhu Que tonight,” Hu said happily.

At this time, Duan Jia helped Long San’s mother over.

“How is your health recently?” Xiao Shun asked. On the surface she looked quite hale and hearty, not showing any illness.

“I’m fine. I said I was good at the factory. Why insist on bringing me here? You all are so busy, now I’m troubling you. Really now,” Long San’s mother complained.

“Auntie Zhu Que was just worried about you not having anyone to look after you at the factory. And Hu wanted to come out and play during summer break. It works out perfectly,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

“I can take care of myself. Why run so far to cause you all trouble,” Long San’s mother said.

“It’s no trouble at all, you’re helping us. We can’t cook, we still need to trouble you to make food for us. Yao Cen and I got used to eating your cooking at the factory. Now we suddenly don’t have it, it feels weird,” Xiao Shun said.

When Long San was around, she would often have him bring meals for them. After Long San left, she still sent some over with Hu every now and then.

“You and your sweet talk,” Long San’s mother said, her face breaking into a smile. “Fine, I’ll make you kids some meals here, as long as you don’t dislike this old woman’s cooking.”

“Of course not. I’m already craving your dumplings now,” Xiao Shun said.

“Alright, I’ll make dumplings for you tomorrow,” Long San’s mother said.

As they spoke, the group entered the villa.

Xiao Shun gave them a brief tour.

Considering Long San’s mother had difficulty with stairs, he arranged a bedroom for her on the first floor.

It was almost noon, close to lunch time. They quickly got to preparing food in the kitchen, with Long San’s mother supervising. Hu curled up on the sofa watching cartoons and snacking. Xiao Shun and Duan Jia sat drinking tea and chatting, a harmonious scene.

“Linger, have your injuries healed?”

In the kitchen, Yao Cen asked Song Linger with a smile.

“Long ago, those were just small injuries,” Song Linger replied casually while washing vegetables.

“That’s good. Come over often when you have time.”

“Sure, I’ll come bother you and Auntie Zhu Que a lot if you don’t mind,” Song Linger said.

“Why would we mind? You’re so cute, who would dislike you,” Yao Cen said with a laugh.

Hmm, was this considered letting a wolf into the house? Yao Cen suddenly felt something was off after speaking.

But on second thought, Xiao Shun spent a lot of time with her on a regular basis anyway. If something was going to happen, it probably would have already.

Plus, Song Linger had always been very candid in front of her. After the previous incident, she didn’t harbor any ill feelings towards Song Linger either. Compared to her the wife, Song Linger seemed to have contributed more to Xiao Shun, which felt very subtle.

About an hour later, the table was filled with dishes. With Long San’s mother’s guidance, the three women who didn’t normally cook managed decently.

After taking their seats, they toasted and enjoyed the harmonious meal.

It was summer, and easy to get drowsy after a meal. Long San’s mother and Hu were also tired from the trip, so they were sent to rest in their rooms after lunch.

Xiao Shun and the others chatted idly at the table for a while.

“Dear, Duan and I have some things to do this afternoon and need to head out. Since auntie and Hu aren’t familiar with this place yet, can you and Zhu Que keep them company?” Xiao Shun said to Yao Cen.
