The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 25 Once Again Reduced to the Background



Yao Cen’s heart was in turmoil, so she drove very slowly. They slowly drove past her, Xiao Shun twisted his head and swept over Bai Ke and Hu Xuesong with a disdainful face, and instantly they felt so embarrassed.

“He must have rented that car.” Hu Xuesong whispered.

A car fan next to him heard that and snorted, “Why don’t you rent one too?”

She held Hu Xuesong’s hand and went straight away.

The streetlamps were all on and the blue car was driving slowly along the beach.

The cool summer night breeze ruffled Yao Cen’s hair, revealing her snow-white swan’s neck.

“So this car…?” Yao Cen finally snapped out of her hallucinatory dream.

“I should really get a license,” Xiao Shun replied.

“Where did this car come from?”

“Would you believe me if I say it’s mine?”

“If I say I believe you, do you believe me?”

“So just don’t ask and look ahead.”

She had hated that bastard look of his.

She had to admit that for a moment, she really thought that Xiao Shun had turned into a prince. Now she finally realized that he wasn’t, he was still the same hopeless loser.

“Right, how much do you think the Xue family have?”

After a moment, Xiao Shun asked with a sideways glance.

“About two or three hundred million?”

Half of that would be a hundred million.

“Why do you ask?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Shun placed his hands behind his head and curled his lips into a smile.

“You’re still thinking about your bet?” Yao Cen said as she glanced at him in the rearview mirror.

“Of course, I said half of his family would be mine.”

“Just a joke. You shouldn’t take it seriously.” Yao Cen didn’t take it seriously.

“If I lose, do you think he’ll take it as a joke?” Xiao Shun asked.

Yao Cen was speechless. To be honest, she wasn’t sure. Although she knew about the Xue family, it was also the first time she had met Xue Cheng.

“Are you that sure you can win?”

“That’s for sure.”

“Even if he loses, what can you do in case he goes back on his words? Half of that family. It’s no joke. He can’t make that decision either.” Yao Cen grunted lightly.

“He’ll give it.” Xiao Shun gave a complicated smile.

When they arrived, Yao Cen tossed him the key to the car, “I don’t know where you got this car. Just return it. We can’t afford even its repair.”

After all, he did help a lot with the car today.

Xiao Shun took the keys, “Okay, I’ll return this car now.”

After Yao Cen went upstairs, he took out his phone and called Song Linger.

“Take the car away.”

“What? You don’t want it anymore?” Song Linger sounded surprised, “So you’ll still teach me?”

Xiao Shun was speechless, “Sure, but I don’t have a license. You can use the car for now. After I get my license, I’ll buy this car from you.”

“You really don’t need to do that.” When she heard his words, Song Linger laughed.

Xiao Shun could also tell from her voice that she did love that car.

“I don’t have enough room to park this car. When I have enough money, you can buy a new one.” Xiao Shun said.

They certainly could not park that car outside or they would be so worried about it.

“Alright then, send me the address and I’ll be right over.”

After he hung up the phone, Xiao Shun sent the address over. Soon Song Linger came over.

“If you give me such an expensive car, what will you tell your grandfather?” Xiao Shun asked.

“You saved his life, so if I gave you the car, he definitely wouldn’t say anything.” Song Linger said back.

Xiao Shun didn’t say anything. That’s true. He saved his life. A car wasn’t too much.

As he watched Song Linger drive away into the night, he suddenly thought of something, “In fact, why should I save these people for free so far? I can’t hardly be poorer.”

But then again, his master did get a whole vault of treasure and he just never appreciated their value.

When he was back at home, well, the daily reproach of Liu Yunxiang naturally resumed.

The next day.

A picture had been quietly circulating among the staff at Tulip International.

When Yao Cen walked into the company she noticed that her employees were talking about something.

When they saw her they immediately went silent again. It was bizarre.

Her assistant, Mai Yaqin, made her a cup of coffee and brought it to her office.

She took a sip of her coffee and asked, “What are they talking about?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Mai Yaqin pursed her lips and blushed, “No… nothing?”

Yao Cen looked up at her, “What is it? Even you have to hide it from me?”

“Well, Mr. Yao. That’s really unfair to you.” said Mai Yaqin after a moment’s hesitation.

“Unfair?” Yao Cen wondered.

“Yes, look at this.” Mai Yaqin took out her own phone, tapped on a picture and handed it over.

When Yao Cen saw that picture, she frowned.

A pretty young girl, her eyes closed, raised her youthful pretty face, and in front of her was an ordinary looking young man in ordinary clothes.

The headline read: Limousine version of the Titanic, please believe in love.

Below were dozens of comments.

“Envy!!! [cry]”

“What a waste.”

“I really shouldn’t be reading this kind of romance at my age!”

This was exactly the photo of Xiao Shun treating Song Linger in the car yesterday. Because the silver needle in his hand was very thin, it was almost invisible in the photo.

So this looked like he was going to stroke Song Linger’s face.

When she saw Yao Cen’s gloomy face, Mai Yaqin hurriedly said, ”Mr. Yao, we all support you, in fact, we all know what happened to your family. What a shameless man this is. You work so hard to support your family, yet he’s out messing around with another woman. It’s disgusting.”

As a fashion company, most of Tulip International’s employees are women, so when it comes to things like this, it’s only natural for them to support women.

But still, there were of course some people who felt happy for this good show.
