The Crazy Son-In-Law

Near noon, however, Yao Cen called again to ask Xiao Shun to come to Emperor Hall.

“You just said I didn’t have to go.” Xiao Shun wondered.

“Just get over, can you?” said Yao Cen impatiently.

Liu Yunxiang really didn’t intend to let Xiao Shun come with them. The reason was clear. She felt ashamed to be with him.

However, Yao Cen’s uncle had already said they wanted to meet Xiao Shun, which led to the phone call.

Xiao Shun agreed. He might have ignored Liu Yunxiang, but he didn’t want to make things difficult for Yao Cen.

He gathered his things and hurried out the door and took a cab to Emperor Hall.

The name of Emperor Hall was prohibitive enough. As Hamana’s most luxurious hotel, the price was naturally stunning and a meal here was more of a symbol of status.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yao Cen’s uncle, Liu Yunhai had used all his connections to get a room here.

It’s also clear what he’s up to – bragging.

Xiao Shun arrived at Emperor Hall and he told the receptionist the number of their room, but the way the receptionist looked at him was kind of strange. He did not have formal clothes, he was still wearing his usual white T-shirt, and the color of his jeans had come off quite a bit. He did look kind of odd in such a place.

But the receptionist was well trained, and he did not show much on his face because of the way he dressed.

When he entered the room, Yao Cen’s uncle hadn’t arrived yet.

There were two large round tables in the large room, so of course there would be other guests.

When Liu Yunxiang saw what he wore, she immediately began a new round of reproaches, “Xiao Shun, are you intentional? Why did you come over wearing these rags? You’re making it look like we have abused you! You’re so embarrassing to us!”

Liu Yunxiang looked gloomy. If it wasn’t for her brother’s request, she would have wanted to kick him out right away.

Yao Cen’s face was cold, and her eyes were also filled with disgust and contempt.

Xiao Shun said lightly, “It’s not like I want to be here. If you don’t want me here, I can leave right now.”

Liu Yunxiang was so pissed off, “What a disrespectful tramp!”

“That’s enough, shut up! Don’t make a scene of yourself here,” Yao Jianguo advised, “Xiao Shun, have a seat. You don’t have to talk later.”

That’s what Xiao Shun wanted, and then he casually walked over to the seat next to Yao Cen and sat down.

Yao Cen subconsciously moved to the side.

Xiao Shun didn’t mind that either. He’s just here for lunch.

Relatives were a miniature society with undisguised ugliness. And such ugliness would explode at a certain point of time. For example, now.

It was true even for Yao Cen. Xiao Shun’s existence may have been an indelible stain on her for all her past twenty years.

Although these relatives were already well aware of Xiao Shun’s existence, she still felt awkward and uncomfortable when she was now showing this stain of hers to the crowd again.

As time passed, the guests were gradually seated. Most of them were family members of Liu Yunxiang, so naturally they knew each other, and they all shared the same mockery on their faces when they saw Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun had long got used to that. After all, he had seemed those faces around the year.

“Everyone’s here, where are they?”

“Being late means being important these days.”

Someone teased, and the crowd burst out laughing.

“You all seem to have a good time!”

From outside the door came a low male voice, and immediately after that they saw Liu Yunhai and Tian Mengyun walking in, and behind them was the focus of this party, Liu Yunhai’s daughter, Liu Manqing.

But there was also a tall young man standing beside Liu Manqing.

He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit and wore a pair of dark-rimmed glasses, but no one seemed to recognize him.

“Yunzan, everyone’s been waiting for you guys for a long time. We’re joking around.” Liu Yunxiang said with a smile.

“Sorry, gentlemen, we ran into a little trouble on the way here.” Liu Yunhai laughed.

“What? Manqing just got back and she’s got a boyfriend?”

The strange man was quite a sight to behold, and he caught the eye of the crowd as soon as he entered the room.

“Let me introduce. This is my boyfriend Xue Cheng. We went to the same school, and this time he just went back with me.”

Liu Manqing raised her chin slightly, smugness written all over her face.

She wasn’t as pretty as Yao Cen, but she was pretty enough. She went abroad for her university, and now she had such a handsome boyfriend. She did have something to brag about.

“You really have a great daughter. She went to such a great college and got such a great boyfriend.”

“I’m so jealous of you! When can I find such a handsome boyfriend?”

“I bet he’s from a pretty good family.”

All those people used all the good words to praise them.

However, Liu Yunxiang frowned and glanced at her own son-in-law, and felt so annoyed. Her daughter was not at all inferior to Liu Manqing, so how come she ended up with this rubbish?

At this time Yao Cen also had mixed feelings.

Liu Manqing had never been better than her in any way growing up but now she just ended up in a worse situation.

“Xue Cheng grew up at Hamana too. He has a couple of companies, and if I remember correctly, they’re getting listed this year, right? Honey?” Liu Manqing asked.

“Yeah, at the end of the year, on NASDAQ.” Xue Cheng smiled.

“What a good man it is! You better watch him closely,” someone joked.

“Don’t worry, my boyfriend loves me very much, he won’t run away, and we are going to get engaged next month. Please do come to our engagement party.” Liu Manqing sweetly leaned her head towards Xue Cheng’s shoulder.

“Okay, I sure will.”

“We got this room because of Xue Cheng, or we would not be able to have a lunch at Emperor Hall.” Tian Mengyun couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. Thanks to her daughter and future son-in-law, she had never felt even smugger all her lifetime.

“What a good man!”

“Sure you can’t get a room at Emperor Hall easily. You have really got yourself a good son-in-law.”

“…”

The rest of the crowd just continued to butter up…
