The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Xiao Shun has very close relations with the Oars government. Aside from that Song Qingzhou person you met last time, he had donated 2 billion to the provincial government some time ago. Zhao Hetai values him greatly.

“As far as I know, after he was injured last time, the provincial government even sent someone specifically to visit him. Therefore, if anything unexpected happens to him during the Hero Cup, it could have a huge impact and be too detrimental to the Oars Old School Society.” Haitang said.

The Old School Society is hosting the Hero Cup fighting tournament, attracting thousands of cultivators flooding into Harrow. The Harrow government must know about this.

Casualties are inevitable, as long as civilians are not harmed, they might turn a blind eye. These cultivators are unstable elements in the government’s eyes anyway.

But Xiao Shun is a celebrity, at least among the top levels of the Harrow government. So if anything happens to him, it will certainly draw some attention. The Oars Old School Society has to be cautious about this.

“Is this Mr. Qiu’s intention?” Gu Baiyi asked.

“Precisely.”

“He’s currently in Harrow. Aren’t you worried he may have ulterior motives?”

“With you here, and thousands of Old School Society members, what can one Xiao Shun do? Besides, you injured him last time. Even if he miraculously survived, he probably can’t recover to his previous level of skill. You should have confidence in yourself, no?” Haitang smiled charmingly.

“Do I have the honor of convincing you?”

“No.” Gu Baiyi looked at her and said.

“But out of consideration for you and Mr. Qiu, I can agree.”

“Thank you for obliging.” Haitang said.

“I just hope you can help keep an eye on him. This time I must witness his death with my own eyes. Otherwise I won’t be able to face Father or Yue.” A chilling glint flashed in Gu Baiyi’s eyes.

“It would be our pleasure.” Haitang said.

At the Lakeview Ranch villa.

After dinner, Zhu Que was playing with Hu in the yard with Long San’s mother.

In the living room, Yao Cen was leaning against Xiao Shun’s shoulder, absentmindedly watching TV.

Xiao Shun seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, “Are you free this weekend?”

“I can be free, or I can be busy. What’s up?” Yao Cen looked up at him curiously.

The paperwork was mostly done. Some still needed time for approval, but it should be very soon too. He had contacted Zhuang Jin about the construction company. They would send people over in the next few days.

Yao Cen was currently handling some miscellaneous tasks at the office. It wasn’t too busy either, nothing that absolutely required her.

“If you’re free, I’ll take you out to see the world.” Xiao Shun said very seriously.

“… You want to take me out to see the world?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Yao Cen’s beautiful eyes. It felt like the tables had turned, like the times had changed. She used to be the one saying things like this.

A year ago Xiao Shun was still cooking and cleaning at home. And now he wanted to take her out to see the world. It felt quite bizarre.

“What? Looking down on me?” Xiao Shun complained unhappily.

“What worldly sights can you show me?” Yao Cen raised an eyebrow, a tinge of provocation in her tone.

“It’s a secret for now. You’ll see when we get there.” Xiao Shun deliberately kept it mysterious.

He originally didn’t plan on bringing Yao Cen to the auction. After all, she wasn’t a martial artist.

Song Linger, Duan Jia, Zhu Que, Wen Yao and himself were just right. But Wen Yao decided not to go, probably because of her body image issues again. So there was an extra ticket. He might as well bring Yao Cen to “see the world.”

Xiao Shun didn’t tell Yao Cen too much about the cultivation world. But with his abnormal self by her side, and the other abnormalities around him, she still understood a little. So he didn’t need to deliberately hide this from her either.

As for safety, he was now confident enough to protect her well. And importantly, since the Old School Society valued this auction so much, they probably wouldn’t make a big fuss to deal with him at the auction itself.

“Alright, let’s see what worldly sights you can show me, being all mysterious like that.” Yao Cen scoffed.

Just then, Zhu Que walked in holding Hu’s hand. Seeing Hu’s sweaty little face flushed red from playing, Yao Cen handed her a yogurt drink, while taking a sip of water herself.

Hu glanced at Yao Cen and Zhu Que while sucking on her yogurt. Finally she fixed her gaze on Xiao Shun and said, “Uncle Xiao Shun, I have a question for you.”

Xiao Shun smiled and said, “What is it? Go ahead and ask.”

“When I grow up, will I also have big breasts like Auntie Yao Cen and Sister Zhu Que?” Hu blinked her eyes curiously.

Cough cough cough!

Yao Cen nearly choked on the water she just drank. Zhu Que’s face turned red as she looked away awkwardly.

Xiao Shun instinctively glanced at Zhu Que’s chest before rubbing his brows. “Um… you’ll know when you grow up.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“But I don’t wanna grow up…” Zhu Que quickly covered Hu’s mouth. “It’s late, we should go to bed. I’ll tell you in the room.”

She then carried Hu swiftly upstairs.

“Kids these days really have wild imaginations huh.” Xiao Shun stared at Yao Cen’s chest.

“Get lost, you stinky hooligan!”

…

The next day.

In a guest room at the Sea Tree Hotel.

Wen Ting sat on the sofa putting on makeup while saying, “That Wen Yao girl has been missing since yesterday morning. Don’t know where she ran off to.”

“She didn’t come back to the hotel last night either?” Wen Yan asked in puzzlement.

“No, I knocked on her door before going to bed last night. I also asked the front desk during breakfast. She definitely didn’t return. Why don’t you give her a call? After all, she came out here with us. It’d be bad if something happened and we can’t explain it to her family when we get back.” Wen Ting said.

“She’s a grown woman, what could happen to her? Besides, she knows martial arts. No man can get close to her. And looking like that, which man would want to get close anyway?” Wen Yan scoffed disdainfully.

“You’re right, with how much she eats, who can afford to feed her? It’s not like feeding pigs where you can sell them for money after fattening them up.” Wen Ting glanced at her and nodded in agreement, giggling.

“Forget it, she’s probably still upset over my slap. She’ll be back in a couple of days.

“Even in that state, she’s still arrogant. As if she doesn’t see what a mess she looks like now.” Wen Yan said.

“She was the number one beauty of Rivet Town, and was arrogant for so many years. No way she can let it go so quickly. I guess she’ll never be able to let it go in this lifetime.” Wen Ting examined her delicate features closely in the mirror with a smile.

“She only had those few glorious years.”

Wen Yan sat next to her and fawned, “Sister Wen Ting will have many more glorious days ahead.”

“You sweet talker. When I marry into royalty in the future, I’ll bring you along and marry you off to a good family too.” Wen Ting pinched her cheek playfully.
