The Crazy Son-In-Law

The next day, Harrow continued with the recent good weather, clear skies stretching as far as the eye could see. Today, Yao Cen was different from before. Instead of heading to the company early in the morning, she stayed at home and personally made breakfast for Xiao Shun. Holding a bowl of lean pork congee with preserved eggs, Xiao Shun felt pleasantly surprised. Seeing her husband staring at her, Yao Cen smiled and said, “Remember to avenge Linger, okay?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun nodded firmly, “Definitely!” Immediately, Yao Cen gently leaned on his shoulder and spoke slowly, “I originally wanted to go with you, but I felt it would add to your psychological pressure. So in the end, I decided not to go. Zhu Que and Louis will accompany you this time. Don’t be careless like last time.” Yao Cen had not forgotten the incident that happened during the demolition of the Stillwater building. The pitiful state of Xiao Shun and Song Linger at that time had deeply imprinted in her heart. If it hadn’t been for the rescue efforts of Wang Ye and Qin Guangyuan, perhaps… She couldn’t bear to think about it any further. In truth, she didn’t want Xiao Shun to participate in this competition because she was afraid. However, when she thought about Song Linger’s tragic experience, she couldn’t find the words to persuade her husband to change his mind! Sensing Yao Cen’s concerns, Xiao Shun reached out and gently stroked her back, saying softly, “Don’t worry, nothing like what happened last time will occur again. I promise I’ll come back safely. You just focus on handling things at the company.” Last time was an accident; this time, there won’t be any unexpected events! He would take revenge with great satisfaction! “Mm.” Yao Cen had always had deep trust in her husband. At the same time, she knew that Xiao Shun had lost due to his own weakened strength last time, which had led to his defeat at the hands of Gu Baiyi. But this time, he was different. Looking at Xiao Shun, who had already drunk two large bowls of congee, Yao Cen pursed her lips and smiled. With such an appetite, could he really lose? “I’m heading to work now. You better perform well, or else you’ll regret it!” She said with a warning tone, then stood up and walked toward the front door. Today, she didn’t bring Zhu Que or Louis along but left the two powerful experts with Xiao Shun. At that moment, Louis approached from not far away and sat beside Xiao Shun. Randomly, he asked, “Is that person strong?” Xiao Shun tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, “They’re okay.” “Are they stronger than you?” “Heh.” Xiao Shun smiled ambiguously, then put down the bowl in his hand and patted Louis’ shoulder. Seeing this, the corners of Louis’ mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. Before long, the three of them drove to the Riverland Bay villa area. Looking at Yang Tiancai and Song Linger waiting at the gate, Xiao Shun smiled faintly and opened the car door. “Are you ready?” he asked, looking at his two disciples at the gate. “We’re ready!” Yang Tiancai’s face was filled with excitement. He had long wanted to show off his skills in front of his master, and today’s Hero Cup was undoubtedly a great stage to showcase his personal style! Compared to Yang Tiancai’s eagerness, Song Linger seemed a bit silent. In response to Xiao Shun’s question, she didn’t answer, only nodding slightly. Seeing this, Yang Tiancai quietly walked to Xiao Shun’s side and asked, “Master, what’s wrong with Senior Sister? She’s been like this since yesterday. I asked her, but she didn’t say anything.”

Xiao Shun frowned, knowing that the girl probably hadn’t recovered from the last incident. She had been deliberately trying to forget. But with the Hero Cup approaching, it was impossible to hide her emotions any longer. With this in mind, Xiao Shun pointed to the car behind Yang Tiancai. “Tiancai, go wait in the car. I have something to discuss with your senior sister.” Upon hearing this, Yang Tiancai touched the back of his head and walked away with a suspicious look on his face. Xiao Shun walked up to Song Linger, whose expression seemed strange, and asked softly, “Linger, what are you thinking about?” Song Linger stared at Xiao Shun motionlessly, her eyes filled with hidden worry. After hearing her, Xiao Shun took a deep drag of his cigarette and blew out smoke rings casually. “Are you worried about Gu Baiyi?” Song Linger shook her head. “It’s not just him. After all, many high-ranking members of the Old School Society will come to watch the competition, and we…” She didn’t continue, but her expression became even more concerned. Indeed, Gu Baiyi alone could only be considered a formidable opponent for Xiao Shun, who had fully recovered and climbed even higher. But in this Hero Cup, it was not just Gu Baiyi who would challenge Xiao Shun. After all, he was no longer the vice branch head of the Old School Society, and he was preparing to support another force that could compete against the Old School Society. In this case, how could the big shots of the Old School Society turn a blind eye? The answer was definite: this Hero Cup would be extremely difficult for Xiao Shun. “Linger, you are my disciple, and you were treated like that last time. If I don’t help you get justice, what kind of master would I be?” As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shun’s aura became even more intense. His previously calm expression suddenly turned serious. Seeing this, Song Linger felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her master was truly serious this time. “Let’s go, Master will help you seek revenge.” After saying that, Xiao Shun took Song Linger’s hand and walked straight toward the car on the side of the road. Zhu Que in the car, seeing the expression on Xiao Shun’s face, couldn’t help but smile. “Looks like he’s getting serious.” Louis nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I’m quite looking forward to it.” Watching the two foreigners playing dumb charades, Yang Tiancai was speechless. Then he helplessly said, “Can you two masters please put away your guns and stop polishing them? It puts a lot of pressure on me sitting in the middle!” Zhu Que and Louis ignored his words and continued to focus on wiping their firearms, their expressions and movements almost identical. This is so annoying! Yang Tiancai covered his forehead, looking like he had nothing to say. “What about Wen Yao?” After getting in the car, Xiao Shun realized that he hadn’t seen Wen Yao since he came back yesterday, so he couldn’t help but ask Song Linger. Song Linger replied, “She went out yesterday to get something. She said she would wait for us at the entrance of the venue tomorrow.” “I see. That’s why I haven’t seen her.” Xiao Shun smiled slightly and started the car. On the way, he asked about Wen Yao’s changes in the past few days. He received the unanimous answer from Yang Tiancai and Song Linger: “Fully recovered.” Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun didn’t ask any further questions and focused on driving towards the competition venue.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
