The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li.” Mo Yibai forced a bitter smile and then looked at Dong Zimin. “I will move out tomorrow.”

“Didn’t you understand what Mr. Dong said? Right now, immediately.” Li Shangzhi had always heard that Mo Yibai was a woman who would do anything to climb the social ladder, and in his mind, such a woman could be easily bought. He didn’t expect her to be so strong-willed at this moment, which left him feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“I need to pack up my things…” Mo Yibai said.

“What do you have to pack? Everything you have was given to you by the company. Get lost immediately!” Dong Zimin coldly scolded, “By not giving Mr. Li face, you’re not giving me face either. Mo Yibai, you really think you’re some chaste heroine, huh?”

Dong Zimin was partly right. She didn’t have much of her own. Over the years, she appeared glamorous, living in a mansion and driving luxury cars, but her actual income wasn’t that high, and she couldn’t save much money after covering her daily expenses. To others, she was a big star, but only she knew that she was really nothing.

Mo Yibai’s body trembled slightly, her face pale. She turned and walked back to Xiao Shun and the others, seeming to muster a great deal of courage. She sighed heavily, forced a relaxed smile, and said, “I’m sorry for making a fool of myself in front of everyone.”

“Miss Mo.” Some of her closer acquaintances sympathized with her.

Only now did they understand the meaning behind Mo Yibai’s words earlier: “In a few days, I might not be in Stillwater anymore.” It seemed she had offended the young master. Facing Dong Zimin, everyone remained silent, not daring to say anything. Ouyang Qianqian and Song Pengju were just side branch members of their families, unable to provoke this underground crown prince.

Besides, there wasn’t much they could say. “I’m fine, you guys can leave first. I’m sorry,” Mo Yibai said with embarrassment. After speaking, she glanced at Xiao Shun with a complicated expression.

She couldn’t help but smile bitterly to herself, thinking that he had seen her in a pathetic state again. It didn’t matter; she was about to leave this place anyway, and maybe they would never meet again.

Feeling helpless, the others reluctantly prepared to leave. Yao Qin noticed Dong Zimin and Li Shangzhi’s stern expressions and whispered to Xiao Shun, “Will it be dangerous to leave Mo Yibai here alone?”

Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment. Yao Qin had a point. Although he didn’t particularly like Mo Yibai, leaving her behind like this seemed a bit unkind.

He nodded gently and signaled to Yao Qin. Yao Qin immediately understood and walked over to Mo Yibai, saying, “Why don’t you come with us? You can come back tomorrow to pack up your things.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Mo Yibai gratefully looked at Yao Qin. In the end, it was someone she wasn’t even close with who showed her concern, which stirred emotions within her. “Thank you, but don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. You guys go ahead.”

Yao Qin hesitated for a moment and whispered, “If anything happens, call the police.” Mo Yibai smiled bitterly and nodded.

Just as Xiao Shun and Yao Qin left the living room and headed for the door, Dong Zimin suddenly pointed at Xiao Shun with a fierce gaze, “You, stay!” The others who had been leaving all stopped simultaneously and curiously looked over.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Shun glanced at him and asked nonchalantly. “Did you beat my brother up?” Dong Zimin asked playfully, caressing the jade ring on his hand.

Xiao Shun glanced at Li Shangzhi, “No.”

Li Shangzhi walked up to Xiao Shun with a smug smile on his face. “Aren’t you good at fighting? Don’t you like to meddle in other people’s business? Why are you backing down now? Can’t even admit it?”

“Oh, I remember now. I think I just told you to get lost that night. That counts as beating up?” Xiao Shun squinted and smiled.

“Damn, you dare to curse Mr. Li! You’re really looking for death!” Sun Chuan, with Dong Zimin around, immediately became bolder and shouted.

Ouyang Qianqian and the others looked disdainfully at Sun Chuan, while also feeling worried for Xiao Shun. If it were only Li Shangzhi, it wouldn’t be too bad. But now, with Dong Zimin clearly wanting to take out his anger on Xiao Shun, things were getting troublesome.

Shen Yi, however, wore a gleeful expression, eager to watch the drama unfold. Yao Qin tightly held Xiao Shun’s arm, believing her man could handle everything, yet not wanting him to get into trouble, she still felt uneasy.

“Kneel down and apologize to my brother,” Dong Zimin said with a straight face.

“Did you hear that? Kneel down and apologize to me! I’ll let you off today since I’m in a good mood,” Li Shangzhi said, grinning like a mad dog.

Thud! Before he could finish speaking, a muffled sound echoed, and Li Shangzhi’s smile vanished, replaced by a miserable scream. His body flew through the air and crashed into a bar counter nearby.

“Ah!” Li Shangzhi curled up in pain, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

“Now, this is what you call beating up. A little lesson for you,” Xiao Shun said in a deep voice.

The air around them seemed to solidify in an instant.

Several young girls covered their mouths, their eyes flashing with astonishment. Standing aside Dong Zimin, Li Shangzhi was notoriously domineering in Stillwater. Although the Li family’s strength couldn’t compare with the four major families, it was definitely not something ordinary people could afford to provoke.

Xiao Shun’s move had caught everyone off guard, even Dong Zimin hadn’t anticipated it, and a hint of surprise welled up in his heart. “Maybe you don’t know who I am yet?” Dong Zimin’s mouth twitched a few times, suppressing his anger, and said solemnly, “Zhuang Jin is my godfather.”

“Who is Zhuang Jin?” Xiao Shun asked casually.

“Truly a damn ignorant brat! You haven’t even heard of my godfather’s name, and you’re still hanging around Stillwater. One day you’ll be killed without knowing who you’ve offended!” Dong Zimin had originally thought that mentioning his godfather’s name would scare his opponent into kneeling and begging for mercy, but his words did not work the way he had expected.

“So, can I go now? I’m in a hurry to go home and get some sleep. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense here.” Xiao Shun said lazily.

“You really are tired of your life!” Dong Zimin’s facade of elegance shattered instantly. He turned his head and glared at Xiao Shun with a vicious look, gritting his teeth.

“I don’t hit women, so I won’t hold your words against you.” Xiao Shun waved his hand casually, his face indifferent. “I am leaving now. We’ll be in touch if there’s anything else.”

After saying this, Xiao Shun put his arm around Yao Qin’s shoulder and walked out. Many people stared at Xiao Shun in amazement.

What had he just said?! The implication was that Dong Zimin was a woman? This Xiao Shun was really in big trouble now.

Those who knew Dong Zimin were aware that this was his Achilles’ heel; he hated it most when people called him that way! They looked at Xiao Shun with pity, and a thought emerged in their minds simultaneously: this man might not be seen again in a few days.
