The Crazy Son-In-Law

At this moment, the Skyward Manor hall fell silent.

No one had the time to tease the embarrassed Ye Jisheng, who had wet his pants. Instead, all eyes were fixed on Xiao Shun, who wore a mischievous grin on his face.

In this tranquil atmosphere, Xiao Shun spoke slowly.

“I am already tired today, do not attempt to test my patience any further!”

These words struck Ye Jisheng’s heart like a heavy hammer.

He had no doubt that the next time Xiao Shun drew his blade, it would pierce through his neck.

Faced with such a threat, Mr. Ye could only choose to escape disgracefully.

And so, the dandy Ye Jisheng of Eastbrook, in the astonished gazes of onlookers, crawled out of Skyward Manor on all fours wearing dripping wet underwear.

In the eyes of the bystanders, the once arrogant Ye Jisheng now appeared utterly pathetic.

Mr. Ye himself would never have imagined that he, the esteemed gentleman of the Ye family in Eastbrook, would be humiliated by a mere bodyguard in such a manner.

Clearly, this matter was far from over.

Those who could afford to patronize Skyward Manor were powerful figures in Eastbrook.

These people naturally knew Ye Jisheng’s identity.

Of course, they also knew that this matter would not end here.

Why a dandy was called a dandy needs no further explanation.

In a moment, many customers had left this troubled place.

At the same time, a group of onlookers, undeterred by the situation, lingered on, eager to witness the unfolding drama.

Seeing the departing customers, Cao Wanqing looked hesitant.

Though she held a respected status in Northleap, compared to the local aristocrat Ye Jisheng, she fell short.

By offending Ye Jisheng in such a manner, Xiao Shun had made matters irreparable.

While Cao Wanqing was not the one who had acted, she knew she would be implicated.

In normal circumstances, she would not have worried, but the Ye family was one of the judges for this “Film Festival,” making the situation somewhat challenging.

Regret crept into her mind.

If she hadn’t insisted on bringing Xiao Shun over here today, perhaps things…

Just as Cao Wanqing regretted her decision, Xiao Shun, acting nonchalantly, strode over to an empty table and sat down.

He then whispered to a nearby waiter, “I have heard of the famous Eastbrook hot dry noodles, please bring me a serving.”

His words left everyone bewildered.

To come to the most upscale hotel and order such ordinary street food?

The contrast was undoubtedly surprising.

Xiao Shun paid no attention to their bewilderment.

Seeing Cao Wanqing, who sat beside him with a puzzled expression, he spoke lightly.

“What about your friends?”

At his words, Cao Wanqing couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

With the situation as it was, she had no time to contact her friends here!

Though she had belittled Xiao Shun earlier, that was the least of her concerns now. Instead, she wore a sorrowful expression and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Xiang will be hosting a party in Eastbrook after the film festival…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun interrupted, “What does that have to do with me?”

He looked puzzled, not understanding the relevance of her statement.

Seeing this, Cao Wanqing couldn’t help feeling resentful as she glared at Xiao Shun. Originally, she had planned to attend the party through the Ye family’s connections, hoping to meet the famous couple from Riverdale and perhaps secure some better roles.

But after Xiao Shun’s disturbance, that opportunity seemed lost.

With disappointment, Cao Wanqing lamented, “I had planned to attend that party after the festival, but now with your humiliation of Ye Jisheng, how can I possibly go?”

Xiao Shun smiled lightly, “Hehe, with your influence, can’t you still attend the party?”

Suppressing her anger, Cao Wanqing explained, “While I do have that influence, the purpose of the party is for Mr. and Mrs. Xiang and Ye Nantian to discuss a martial arts drama film. They aim to produce a large-scale film centered around the ‘Old School Society,’ and since I have no martial arts skills, I’ll have to step up and volunteer if I want a role!”

Her expression betrayed her helplessness. As a fan of martial arts films, she eagerly anticipated such a pure martial arts movie.

“It seems you are looking forward to that martial arts film,” Xiao Shun glanced at Cao Wanqing mildly, a smile tugging at his lips.

“Naturally!” Cao Wanqing retorted, her expression turning serious.

“The Xiang film company is well-known in the domestic film industry and was a nationwide hit in the 1990s. They have been investing less in the film industry in recent years and turned to business associations. This is a rare opportunity!”

Xiao Shun felt a flicker of interest.

“Sigh,” Cao Wanqing sighed in disappointment when he remained silent.

With things developing to this point, her excellent opportunity seemed to slip away.

Seeing Cao Wanqing’s despondent expression, Xiao Shun smiled faintly.

“The Ye family’s matter was caused by me, and it has nothing to do with you.”

“Even so, if I hadn’t brought you here…”

Before she could finish, Cao Wanqing mustered a wry smile.

“Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you can attend that party as planned!”

Xiao Shun’s unwavering gaze reassured her.

His confidence left Cao Wanqing puzzled and somewhat absurd.

After all, how could someone who didn’t even know what the Ye family was make such a promise? It was hard for her to accept it.

Yet, Xiao Shun’s determined look offered her some comfort.

Cao Wanqing felt conflicted at that moment.

Xiao Shun didn’t elaborate further. Once he learned Ye Jisheng’s true identity, he had no worries. Now, he was only interested in one thing.

That was the upcoming party hosted by the Xiang couple and the Ye family!

Of course, he had no personal interest in films, but rather in promoting the “New School Society.”

If they could find a suitable director and invite some prominent stars to film a martial arts movie about “Apex Academy” and the “New School Society,” it would undoubtedly have a significant societal impact in the country.

At this thought, Xiao Shun’s lips quirked upwards slightly.

Even in this situation, he could still find reasons to smile. Was he reveling in someone else’s misfortune?

Cao Wanqing felt angry at Xiao Shun’s smile.

Before she could voice her discontent, a commotion could be heard from outside the restaurant.

Xiao Shun, who had been lost in thought, sneered, “They truly can’t hold back, huh?”

Meanwhile, outside Skyward Manor, a large group of men gathered, radiating hostility.

The leader gestured to his men to quickly form a blockade, making the entrance of Skyward Manor impassable.

Though Cao Wanqing hadn’t seen what was happening outside, she knew what was about to unfold, and her face drained of color.

As for the customers who had stayed behind to watch the scene, they now wore eager expressions, anticipating the imminent conflict.

Amidst this chaos, a bowl of hot dry noodles was nervously served by a waiter and placed in front of a certain individual.

Without a care in the world, Xiao Shun began to eat the steaming noodles.

As for the group outside, he paid them no mind!

Outside Skyward Manor, a hundred or so men gathered, flexing their muscles eagerly.

Upon a single command, this place would turn to chaos.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

The middle-aged man, with an imposing presence, fixed his sharp gaze on the restaurant, his expression constantly changing.

At that moment, with just one word from him, everything would vanish in an instant.

Beside him stood Ye Jisheng, who had earlier fled the restaurant in embarrassment, now standing respectfully by his side, his demeanor no longer arrogant.

After a brief hesitation, Ye Jisheng said bitterly, “Sir, you must help me vent this anger!”

His gaze turned towards the restaurant, his eyes filled with shame!

As a leader of the Ye family, how could he endure such humiliation in front of so many people?

Tonight, there would surely be a storm in this restaurant.
