The Crazy Son-In-Law

Mo Yibai seemed to have not heard him speak at all, as she gazed blankly at someone walking towards them in the distance. That person was naturally Xiao Shun, who had an air of indifference about him as he strode past the pair without a sideways glance.

“Mr. Xiao,” Mo Yibai called out, ignoring Li Shangzhi and following him for a few steps.

“What is it?” Xiao Shun stopped in his tracks and turned to ask.

“Um… my birthday is in a few days, and I’d like to invite you to my house for a party,” Mo Yibai stammered, making up an excuse on the spot.

“No time,” Xiao Shun bluntly refused, not having a good impression of her. He turned to leave but had barely walked a few steps when he heard Mo Yibai scream from behind.

“Damn it, you bitch! How dare you ignore me when I’m talking to you!” Li Shangzhi had been disregarded, and he couldn’t bear the humiliation. Enraged, he grabbed Mo Yibai’s hair and yanked her in front of him, furious.

“Let go!” Mo Yibai cried, struggling to break free.

Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment. This woman was really troublesome.

“Let her go.”

“Mind your own business,” Li Shangzhi growled menacingly at him, only to recognize Xiao Shun eventually. Li Shangzhi had witnessed how Xiao Shun had single-handedly taken down over ten security guards at the villa and how Meng Lezhi had shown him utmost respect. He knew he shouldn’t provoke Xiao Shun and felt a bit apprehensive, his momentum weakening.

“I’m disciplining my woman; it’s none of your business.”

“I’m not, I just met him today,” Mo Yibai shook her head, her face bitter. Her heart ached. Why did she always end up in embarrassing situations in front of this man?

“Get lost immediately,” Xiao Shun ordered, furrowing his brows.

Li Shangzhi swallowed hard. Even though he was domineering, he knew when to back down. If Xiao Shun were to beat him up now, there would be nothing he could do about it. He gripped Mo Yibai’s hair tightly, and she screamed in pain, stumbling backward before falling to the ground.

“You damn bitch, you’ll pay for this,” Li Shangzhi pointed at her and cursed through gritted teeth before getting into his car and driving away in disgrace.

“I may not be able to deal with this kid, but I can certainly deal with you! How dare you play me!”

In the car, he could hardly contain his anger as he slapped the steering wheel several times. Mo Yibai sat helplessly on the cold snowy ground, burying her head in her arms, feeling utterly wronged. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she wanted to cry but couldn’t.

Especially in front of Xiao Shun, she had lost face time and time again, leaving her with mixed emotions. “You were just using me, but don’t let there be a next time,” Xiao Shun said coldly before walking away.

“I didn’t,” Mo Yibai raised her head, her teary eyes watching Xiao Shun’s retreating figure as she mumbled.

Upon returning home and opening the door, Yao Cen rushed over, hooking her arms around his neck and pressing herself against him. He was slightly taken aback. What was going on today? He gently patted her shoulder. “Young lady, you’re quite wild today, aren’t you?”

“What does it matter? There’s no one at home,” Yao Cen looked up at him and coquettishly replied. “If you didn’t come back, I was going to call the police. I couldn’t reach you on the phone. Did you go to Sikong Xinrong’s funeral today?”

Over the past three months, she had witnessed Xiao Shun transform from a good-for-nothing into a seemingly invincible superhero. All the events left her feeling overwhelmed. Especially when Sikong Xinrong appeared like a monster, and when Xiao Shun killed Sikong Xinrong, her worldview of more than twenty years had completely collapsed. She had never imagined that scenes only found in movies and novels would happen right before her eyes.

Although Xiao Shun had told her he had practiced martial arts, she still found it incredible. However, these events made her realize that Xiao Shun was extraordinary. He was strong and constantly challenging her perceptions, even though there were still many things she couldn’t understand. But what did it matter? She had already set her heart on this man.

The biggest news in Stillwater recently was Sikong Xinrong’s funeral, with even the Old School Society planning to visit the Sikong family and pay their respects. When she saw her car on the news in the afternoon, heading towards the Sikong residence, she knew Xiao Shun was there too. Although she didn’t know his purpose, she worried for him all afternoon.

“You knew?” Xiao Shun smiled casually, embracing her shoulders as they walked inside. “I went to discuss something with the Sikong family.”

“What did you discuss?” Yao Cen asked curiously.

“I’ve already bought a burial plot for Long San. I wanted the Sikong family to attend his funeral.” Hearing Long San’s name, Xiao Shun noticed Yao Cen’s expression darken, realizing she hadn’t come to terms with it yet.

He stroked her hair, comforting her. “Long San’s death wasn’t your fault, and he has been avenged. Let it go, alright?” Yao Cen nodded gently, but then realized how absurd Xiao Shun’s words were. She looked at him with surprise and asked, “You went to discuss… with the Sikong family… to have them attend Long San’s funeral?”

“Yeah, they’ve agreed,” Xiao Shun said nonchalantly as he guided her to sit on the couch. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Since mom and dad aren’t home, let’s make do with a simple meal. I’ll make us some noodles. You can watch TV for a bit; it’ll be ready soon.”

Yao Cen: “…”

Was this guy even human? How did he do it? The Sikong family was his mortal enemy! They were one of Stillwater’s four great families, and he wanted them to attend a stranger’s funeral? That should be even harder to accept than killing them.

Though the situation seemed unimaginable, Yao Cen now believed anything incredible Xiao Shun said, after all, her man wasn’t a normal person…

Today, Sikong Xinrong’s funeral was suddenly canceled, and the people of Stillwater sensed an unusual atmosphere. Stillwater was about to have a change. A major event that almost the entire city was concerned about came to an abrupt end. Overnight, rumors spread through the streets and alleys.

“I heard there was an explosion inside. Recently, the Sikong family has been at odds with the Song family. The Song family must have gone to cause trouble, leading to both sides fighting, and maybe even using grenades.”

“I heard that a big shot went to stir things up, disrupting the funeral. But what kind of person would dare mess with the Sikong family?”

“Regardless, postponing the funeral is unusual. The Sikong family definitely won’t let this go.”

Unable to enter the scene, the general public spread these rumors, making them more and more bizarre.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
