The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 17 The Bet



Xue Cheng smiled modestly, “I feel so flattered, but it’s actually because my father knows the general manager of Emperor Hall, so it wasn’t that hard to get a room here.”

Although the Xue family was not as famous as the other families, but in recent years, they had gradually gained a firm foothold in Hamana, but the people of Hamana focused their attention on the high and mighty families and did not notice their Xue family.

Xue Cheng’s “modest” words made the Liu family think even more highly of this young man.

Only Yao Cen’s family, sitting at the corner, was silent.

These relatives were far from that enthusiastic when they saw them, and were even a bit cold. The difference was so great that the three of the Yao family felt a bit embarrassed.

“Yao Cen, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I happened to be abroad when you got married. I didn’t even get to attend your wedding. Did your husband come with you today?”

Liu Manqing led Xue Cheng to the seat next to Yao Cen and sat down, automatically ignoring Xiao Shun next to Yao Cen. She looked around for a moment and pretended to be intimate.

Yao Cen smiled stiffly, and was just about to speak when he was snapped up.

“Manqing, you must be making fun of your cousin, right? Don’t you know that your cousin married a rubbish? Exactly the one sitting next to her.” Someone teased.

Xiao Shun was naturally not even remotely comparable to Xue Cheng.

Yao Cen instantly felt so chicken-hearted and she really wanted to find a place to hide herself up.

Liu Yunxiang, needless to say, looked more livid that ever and almost wanted to hide under the table.

“Ah? I really didn’t know, so he is her husband. I thought he’s your bodyguard, oh my god!” Liu Man Qing sized up Xiao Shun, covering her mouth with a pompous expression.

Xiao Shun was in his casual clothes and looked just like those poor losers.

“Yunxiang, didn’t I tell you not to judge people by their appearance? Maybe this mister just wants to keep a low profile, but I wonder where Mr. Xiao has been working?” Xue Cheng said with a smile.

“What a good man you are, but this time you are really thinking too much. He is just a useless tramp. He doesn’t even have a job, and he’s just entirely dependent on your cousin.” A nosy man said.

“That’s a nice watch on your wrist.” At this point, since the food was not served yet, Xiao Shun sipped his water and said casually.

“This? This is really nothing. It cost only about a million. If Mr. Xiao can get a decent job I guess you can afford it in a few years.” Xue Cheng said with mockery.

“Just as I have guessed, he must be from an affluent family.”

Xiao Shun sighed and turned to Liu Manqing, “For the sake of you being my wife’s cousin, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t get engaged, just get married. The sooner the better. You just can’t let such a good husband go.”

Liu Manqing smiled smugly and said, “There’s no rush. As long as we love each other, it’s only a matter of time before we get married.”

“I mean, if you get married before it’s too late, you’ll get an inheritance.” Xiao Shun said with a faint smile.

Liu Manqing and Xue Cheng instantly turned pale.

“You rascal, how can you curse my father?” Xue Cheng said with a gloomy face.

Liu Manqing also reproached, “Yao Cen, why would your husband talk like that??”

Yao Cen also stared at Xiao Shun with an astonished expression.

What the hell was this bastard talking about? How could he just curse them at such an occasion?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Tian Mengyun said to Liu Yunxiang with a livid face, “What a good son-in-law you have got? It’s the first time Xue Cheng has met us, and he just cursed him like that? It’s so unbelievable!”

“Xiao Shun! Who told you even to talk? Do you think you can be allowed to talk here? Shut your mouth! Is it not humiliating enough?!” Although Liu Yunxiang did not like Tian Mengyun, she was a member of the Liu family after all, and besides, in front of so many people, how could she allow Xiao Shun to speak such nonsense.

Xiao Shun shrugged and said lightly, “Mom, I mean it, but I didn’t mean his father, and I was talking about him. He’s sick and, by my estimation, won’t live more than a month, which is why I advised her to hurry up and get married so she can get a share of the inheritance.”

The moment when she heard what he said, Liu Yunxiang felt even more embarrassed. Was he not just cursing him?

The entire room heard it loud and clear and broke into a commotion.

Liu Yunhai, in particular, said angrily, “Xiao Shun, my sister have been good enough to you, and are you here deliberately to make things difficult for her today? Get the hell out of here right now!”

“You’ve gone too far! How can you say such words.”

“He must be so jealous of Xue Cheng, who is better than him in every way, and that’s why he cursed him.”

The others all chimed in with righteous indignation.

Xiao Shun laughed and said, “Since none of you believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it. Maybe you can pretend I was just that up.”

Liu Yunhai was already trembling with anger, and he pointed at him, “You… You animal!”

“Yunshan, take it easy. I’ll just kick this punk out.”

Liu Yunxiang said with an apologetic face. Her brother was kind enough to invite their family to lunch, even if it was a bit of a show-off, and as his sister, she was more than willing to come. Yet, she didn’t expect it to be ruined by this good for nothing son in law of hers! She felt so guilty.

“Xiao Shun, get the hell out of here!” Liu Yunxiang pointed at the door and scolded angrily.

“Aunt, he cursed my boyfriend. How can we just let him go that easily?” At this moment Liu Manqing stood up and said.

“He must apologize to Xue Cheng.”

“Yeah, he must apologize!”

“We can’t just take it easy on him!”

Xiao Shun snorted and slowly rose to her feet, his eyes quickly skimming over the crowd.

“Apologize? I didn’t say anything wrong, so why should I apologize? If he’s still alive in a month, then I’ll personally come to him, got on my knees and apologize to him, but if my judgment is accurate, what do you say?”

“Xiao Shun, shut up!”

Yao Cen finally couldn’t help but speak up as well.

This punk was really getting too far this time, and although she had seen him save that little girl twice, how could he possibly know what was going to happen a month from now.

And for the time being, saying something like that in front of so many people was in itself not appropriate.

“You’re talking nonsense. I had a personal doctor when I was abroad, and I also have regular full body checkups after I came back. There’s nothing wrong with my body at all!” Xue Cheng said.

“Oh? Is that so? How about a bet, then?” Xiao Shun laughed lightly.

“What do you want?” Xue Cheng said angrily.

“If you are diagnosed as having an incurable disease in a month, then I win and I want half of your family’s properties?”

After all, Xue Cheng was such a young man, so he could hardly think straight at this time. He gritted his teeth, “Then what if you lose?”

Xiao Shun said leisurely, “There’s no way I can lose.”

That’s fucking arrogant!
