The Crazy Son-In-Law

“So you still know your way back?” Yao Cen sat in front of her desk, glanced at Xiao Shun and said indifferently.

Xiao Shun put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked over to her desk. After only two days, the woman in front of him looked even more beautiful than before. With a light makeup, a shockingly beautiful face.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She was a bit cold, but she was still beautiful in a thrilling way.

What better woman could he ask for in this life?

He smiled gently and said, “Honey, I took two days off from you before I left.”

Yao Cen crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. Her eyebrows arched and she glared at him with her watery eyes and beamed.

“Okay, didn’t you say you were on a business trip to make money? Show me the money you earned.”

Xiao Shun produced the one billion dollar check from his pocket, put it on her desk and pushed it toward her, “This is it.”

Yao Cen straightened up and took the check and took a glance at it. She snickered, and looked up at him.

“One billion? Are you out of your mind? Or do you think I’m just a fool? You think I’d believe a fake check.”

At that, she crumpled the check into a ball and threw it towards Xiao Shun. Xiao Shun immediately reached out and caught it with a frown, “It’s real…”

“Come on, stop fooling around. If you’re not doing anything this afternoon, why don’t you go and get ready for the move with Mom?”

Xiao Shun helplessly put the check back into his pocket, “What? Your father has agreed to move?”

Yao Cen bristled, “That old man just finally can’t bear it.”

“What’s going on?” Xiao Shun said curiously.

Yao Cen told Xiao Shun what happened two days ago.

The Yao family moved to their apartment more than ten years ago. At that time in Stillwater it was still quite an upscale apartment. But more than a decade had passed and Stillwater had become so different. There were countless new apartments in the neighborhood, and their apartment seemed a bit outdated. Most of their former neighbors had moved out.

Among them was the Shen family, who lived next door to the Yao family at the time.

Shen Xingye was not only a neighbor of the Yao family. He also went to the same university with Yao Jianguo. Yet as the focus of their business shifted to the capital, the Shen family also moved there.

Originally, the two families were quite close. Once, after a few rounds of beer, Yao Jianguo and Shen Xingye even decided that when they both grew up Yao Cen would marry Shen Xingye’s son, Shen Yi. But then since the Shen family had moved away, no one mentioned it again, and their relationship gradually became less close than before.

Recently, however, the Shen family moved back to Stillwater, their home.

Over the years, the business of the Shen family was doing well, and they had made some money. When they just came back, they bought a villa in Pearl International.

The day before yesterday Shen Xingye had specially invited Yao Jianguo to their home, and with them there were several friends they had met in college. At the beginning, Yao Jianguo was quite satisfied with his life, but in front of them, he felt a little awkward.

These people either managed or even owned public companies, and each of them was worth tens of millions of dollars.

They all knew about Yao Jianguo. He was just a scholar and never cared that much about money.

Before Yao Cen graduated, his family gave him a company, but he didn’t even bother to take over that company. Because he didn’t want to accept their family business, they got much less dividends than their relatives every year.

This was also the reason why Liu Yunxiang was always compalining.

It was also because of his aloofness from material pursuits, as a associate professor he basically did not have any extra income. He didn’t even have the money for a new house with his salary alone, and their life only got better after Yao Cen graduated and took over Tulip International.

Even then, they never thought of buying a new house.

But he really couldn’t stand all their show-off whether it was intentional or not.

Especially Shen Xingye. At his age, he just wanted to share his stories and his achievements with his friends.

A little drunk, he started talking about those days when they were still neighbors.

And when he learned that Yao Jianguo was actually still living in that apartment, they all immediately started mocking him.

Those people didn’t show him any mercy. After all, Yao Jianguo came from quite a significant family and he never could fit in with them, so to these people, he was just a hypocrite.

Yao Jianguo was so annoyed that he mentioned their villa at Pearl International, but all he got was ridicule and disbelief.

Finally, he promised that he would invite all of them to their home after they moved there in a few days.

Therefore, he was in such a hurry to move out.

“OK, then I’ll go back and take a look this afternoon.” Xiao Shun smiled and readily agreed.

Meanwhile, the Yao manor.

It was lunch time, and Yao De, Li Chunlian, Yao Han and the others were all with Yao Zhenshu for lunch.

“Han, how is Tulip International doing lately?” Yao Zhenshu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

“Grandpa, you are always so worried. Have you forgotten? You just asked me the same question yesterday. Don’t worry, everything is normal.” Yao Han laughed.

With those orders from Wang Feng, nothing would happen even if he didn’t do anything.

“I just know you too well. Nothing could ever last for you. I’m afraid you’ll screw it up again. You just need to stay out of trouble so you can inherit my position, or people will talk. If no one believes you, what can you do even as the head of this family?” Yao Zhenshu said.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong this time.” Yao Han assured.

At this moment Li Chunlian changed the topic.

“I heard that Yao Cen bought Starline Bio. You guys know about this, right?”

She was also there at the auction at that time, yet she left after the second round.

She had no interest in those plants, and the Sikong family had immediately suppressed the news after that. As a result, few people witnessed the mind-blowing bidding at the end of the auction at that time.

“I know. That company has long been bankrupt. Maybe that silly girl is out of her mind. That lousy company is just beyond help, no matter how much money she spends.”

“I heard that the boss of Starline Bio has raised almost seven hundred million dollars over the years, yet he got nothing back. How could they declare bankruptcy if there was anything that could be done about that company?” Yao De said.

“But I heard that that company is starting at ten million dollars. Does she have that much money?” Li Chunlian wondered.

“Even in the three years when Yao Cen took over Tulip International, that company hardly made two million a year.”

“Maybe she got a loan for that. She just told the bank she was with us and maybe they’d give her a few million, even without any collateral.”

Yao Han said distractedly.

“What a silly girl! If she fails and can’t even pay the bank, they will surely come to us. How convenient is that.”
