The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yao Cen subconsciously glanced at Xiao Shun and said with a smile, “We want to give it a try. Maybe we can have some good luck.”

To be honest, the company was still far from getting on the right track, and she really didn’t know what their company would be in the future.

Liu Yunxiang heard what Shen Xingye said and glared angrily at Xiao Shun. Maybe in the end they would just waste all her daughter’s savings for nothing.

Moreover, when she heard Shen Xingye say that the company was an abyss, she also became anxious. The good feeling she had for Xiao Shun in the previous days disappeared all of a sudden.

Yet with all the guests around them, she couldn’t just throw a tantrum. She frowned and scolded softly, “You failure, can’t you just get anything right?”

Those guests were all shrewd enough and they saw it right away.

Buying Starline Bio was definitely the idea of Yao Cen’s loser husband, and their opinion of Xiao Shun got even worse.

“The young people are so naive these day. The owner of the company has been doing business for decades, and he can’t even fix that company, and all you want is just some good luck? You guys pay all the real money, but you don’t necessarily get anything back.”

These people all thought they knew more because of their age and they were all a little drunk, so they lectured without any mercy.

Yao Cen did not know what to say suddenly. She only smiled lightly and kept silent.

“Miss, I think you’d better sell it when you still can. My company will be moving back to Stillwater soon, and I can find you a job at my company. What do you think?” Shen Xingye said.

When Shen Yi heard his words, he felt overjoyed.

It would be great if Yao Cen could work in their company. Yao Cen was so beautiful, and he would be happy enough just looking at her every day, even if he couldn’t touch her. Of course, if he could have the chance to touch her, he would just never let it go.

“Yes, Yao Cen, although our company is not a very big one, it generates nearly ten million in profits every year. It will definitely be a good platform for your talents. Think about it.” He blurted out.

Yao Cen smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Shen, thank you for your kind words, but we still want to try our business first.”

In fact, at first she didn’t have much confidence in getting the company off the ground, and it seemed like it was always Xiao Shun who was pushing her around. But now, after she heard what they said, she just felt that she couldn’t back down, and she had made up her mind that she had to make the company work with Xiao Shun.

“That’s just it, kid. Since you don’t believe me, just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Shen Xingye said.

“Xingye, young people like challenges these days. It’s normal for them to have some unrealistic whims. Just leave them alone. You should worry more about Shen Yi’s marriage. He’s no longer young, and it’s time for him to find a girl.” Someone said.

“Really, you should have nailed the marriage in the first place. That way you would not even have to worry about Shen Yi now. It saves all the trouble. They are quite a a match sitting together.”

Xie Haijun was drunk, and he said with a flushed face looking at Shen Yi and Yao Cen. He didn’t even think that what he said was a bit inappropriate.

Awkwardness then enveloped the table.

“Uncle Xie, I’m just not lucky enough.” Shen Yi said with a complicated smile and he looked at Yao Cen.

Yao Cen smiled indifferently and didn’t say anything.

Shen Yi then turned to look at Xiao Shun, “What kind of work are you doing now, Mr. Xiao?”

Xiao Shun raised his head and said perfunctorily, “Oh, just doing some odd jobs.”

“Mr. Xiao is really lucky enough to marry such a capable wife. I would love to find a rich woman like you and then I don’t even have to work.”

Shen Yi teased, “My sister must have a tough life having you as her husband.”

Xiao Shun put down his chopsticks, drew a paper towel and wiped his mouth. He looked straight at Shen Yi and said, “It is not for everyone.”

Shen Yi snickered, “Yes, I’m not that thick-skinned, so of course it’s not for me.”

As the atmosphere became more and more tense, Xie Haijun hurriedly interrupted, “Well, let’s toast Jianguo for their new home!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Someone echoed.

The atmosphere at the table eased up a bit.

“Jianguo, you are still an associate professor now, right? Is your salary enough to cover your mortgage?”

Shen Xingye should be the richest one among them, and he always spoke in a somewhat condescending tone.

Yao Jianguo was just about to speak when Liu Yunxiang interrupted, “We bought this house in full, so we have no mortgage.”

After saying that she was a bit chicken hearted. She looked at Xiao Shun and found that he was still just expressionless and he didn’t look like he was going to expose her lie. Finally she felt relieved.

Yao Cen also looked at Xiao Shun, and when she saw how calm he was, she felt bad for him.

Just now when they taunted Xiao Shun, Liu Yunxiang just joined them, and now, when they should talk about Xiao Shun’s merits, Liu Yunxiang took them all as her own. Even Yao Cen felt unfair for him.

“It’s more than twenty million plus such luxurious decoration. Jianguo must have earned quite a lot in his position.” Someone teased.

“No really. My daughter earned most of it when she was running her company.”

Since Liu Yunxiang had said all those words, of course Yao Jianguo could not expose her lie. However, he was such a proud man, and he certainly wouldn’t admit that he had any gray income, so he had to put the credit on Yao Cen.

“Dad, it’s all because of my mom. I definitely can’t earn so much money.” Yao Cen smiled and looked at Liu Yunxiang, “Right? Mom?”

Liu Yunxiang obviously understood what she meant by those wo’rds. ‘Why is my daughter helping an outsider now? I am your mother!’

She glared at Yao Cen with a somewhat complicated expression and didn’t answer her.

“What an interesting family. It is obviously a good thing, but you guys made it sound like otherwise,” Xie Haijun laughed.

“The mountain was covered by the green.”

“The stream flowed below the bridge.”

“Beyond the trees were only layers of cloud.”

One of these men was named Gong Nie. He had collected a lot of paintings and other art works, and at this moment he was standing under the Cottage In The Sunny Mist, reading what was written on it.

“Jianguo, this is a Zhang Daqian. Where did you get it? It looks so real. It must have cost you more than one hundred thousand?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Gong Nie asked.

It had been here when Yao Jianguo moved in, but he didn’t know where the painting came from, so he instantly looked at Liu Yunxiang.

When Liu Yunxiang heard the painting hanging on the wall was worth more than one hundred thousand her eyes lit up and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Shun.

How could she know where he bought the painting?

Finally she had to tell the truth, “Xiao Shun brought it back. I thought it was pretty good, so I framed it up and hung it there. It’s not bad, is it?”

“Not bad, not bad.” Gong Nie complimented.

He turned his head to Xiao Shun and asked, “Kid, where did you get the painting? Can you buy one for me?”

Xiao Shun turned his head to look at the painting on the wall and said indifferently, “I’m afraid I can’t. The painter has passed away.”

Gong Nie sighed.

Of course he couldn’t afford a real work by Zhang Daqian, but he thought it would be nice to have a replica at home. It was a pity.
