The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Maybe I shouldn’t go.” Xiao Shun didn’t really like such occasions.

“Manqing’s fiancé wants to see you. Just bear with it and don’t talk nonsense.”

Liu Yunxiang reminded again, “Don’t ruin such a good day.”

“I know, mom.”

Xiao Shun said helplessly. He didn’t know if Xue Cheng had really been convinced, and he was worried that he would find trouble again.

It was an engagement party. According to the custom in this city, the girl’s family would arrange the engagement party, while the boy’s family would prepare some gifts for the proposal. The Xue family was such a respected family in this city that the Liu family got a reservation for a day at the best hotel of the city, Moon’s Bay.

The next day.

When they arrived at Moon’s Bay, quite a few people had already arrived. Their seats were already arranged and they naturally sat with the Liu family.

After that banquet at Emperor Hall, the impression about Xiao Shun the Liu family had was even worse.

“He’s here again? The Yao family’s son-in-law is so shameless.”

“I still remember the last time he made a bet with Xue Cheng. Who won in the end?”

“Can’t you just see that? He said Xue Cheng had one month left at most but Xue Cheng is doing just fine right now.”

“When should he get on his knees?”

“Don’t talk about it anymore. What a good day it is. Don’t make it a mess again.”

These people had lowered the volume, but they could still hear their conversation sitting right next to them.

Liu Yunxiang’s face was still gloomy. Yao Cen already knew that Xiao Shun had made a lot of money from the bet they just mentioned, so when she heard their conversation she only found it funny.

She silently glanced at Xiao Shun.

The past month seemed like a lifetime. This man that she loathed from the bottom of her heart seemed to have become her dependency at this time, an existence that could give her an infinite sense of security.

It was not until Liu Manqing came to them that Yao Cen came back to her senses.

“Cousin, you brought your bodyguard here again?” Liu Manqing smiled as she gave Xiao Shun a complicated look.

“Yes, I didn’t expect you to get engaged so soon. Congratulations.” Yao Cen smiled and said.

“Not as fast as you did. I remember you had a very rushed wedding, not to mention any engagement party.” Liu Manqing said with a mocking tone.

Her wedding was a soft spot for Yao Cen. All women wanted to have a scenic wedding. Even if she was not going to marry a man she loved, a wedding was after all a sacred ceremony.

“The wedding is just a ceremony. The key part is how you run your marriage.”

“It seems you’ve run your marriage well, and you’ve turned your husband into a mad dog.”

Liu Manqing still felt resentful whenever she thought about what happened last time.

However, Xue Cheng happened to walk up to her and he said with a displeased look on his face, “Manqing, how can you say those words to your cousin? We are relatives now, so why did you do that?”

Then he looked at Xiao Shun, “Mr. Xiao, I’m really sorry, Manqing must be drunk, please forgive her.”

Xiao Shun smiled lightly and nodded his head.

Liu Manqing looked at Xue Cheng with a surprised face.

Why was he even helping them?

“Welcome everyone! The engagement ceremony is about to start, so we will go and get ready first.” Xue Cheng said and dragged Liu Manqing away.

“What’s going on? Why is Mr. Xue suddenly so respectful to this punk?”

“He’s a gentleman, and sure he doesn’t want to make a mess out of his engagement party.”

After a while, Xue Cheng walked back to Xiao Shun, he bowed and whispered, “Mr. Xiao, can I have a word with you?”

Xiao Shun got up. Under the shocked eyes of the Liu family, he followed Xue Cheng and walked to a quiet corner.

“Mr. Xiao, please don’t mind, I didn’t tell Man Qing and her parents about what happened between us.” Xue Cheng said apologetically.

“I had such a weird disease and it almost killed me. Although you saved me, still I might have other problems, and I was afraid that Manqing would mind, so … please forgive my selfishness. I really quite like her.”

“I have already made up my mind. I must make the girl I like happy when I still can, so, Mr. Xiao, please help me keep this secret for now.”

Xue Cheng said honestly.

“Don’t worry, you won’t have any other problems.”

Xiao Shun patted his shoulder and smiled lightly, “However, I can help you keep this secret for the time being.”

“Thank you, Mr. Xiao.” Xue Cheng said with a frown, not at all like that arrogant snob he used to be.

After he returned to his seat, Yao Cen asked in a whisper, “What did he want? He didn’t ask you to give them back the money, did he?”

Xiao Shun looked at her and felt somewhat surprised. why was this woman a bit lit Song Linger recently.

He replied nonchalantly, “It’s not like I have given them a receipt.”

Yao Cen, “…”

The engagement set of processes went through and soon the banquet began.

Xue Sihai did not feel that the Liu family could be a good match for his son, but Xue Cheng insisted that he would marry Liu Manqing.

But still, he had shown his attitudes plenty of times during the banquet.

During the toast, according to the local rules, the boy’s parents needed to go to the Liu family to toast them.

But he didn’t seem like he would go even at the end of the banquet, and he was constantly talking to the guests around him.

Although many of the Liu family felt resentful, they didn’t say much.

After all, in this city, there was an insurmountable gap between the strength of the Xue family and theirs, and Xue Sihai’s guests seemed like they should all be Xue Sihai’s business partners, each with a billion worth business.

But still, some people could not help but complain a bit.

“They are so rude. They must think our family is not a good match for them.”

“He is the chairman of such a company. He naturally has no time for ordinary citizens like us. He might be so afraid already that we might come to him for help some day.”

Some people grumbled.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Is that the attitude a father should have at his son’s engagement banquet?”

“I saw that fat guy next to him on the news. He’s from the capital. He’s a government head. I can’t remember his name though.”

After about three minutes, someone finally whispered, “Here he is, here he is.”
