The Crazy Son-In-Law

When he heard these words, Xiao Shun was quite helpless.

He’s not being arrogant, but Ghost Door Thirteen Needles actually required the practitioner to have a certain level of internal energy and the learning path would be curvy and long. This required not only time, but also chance and talent. Zhou Shuqing was nearly sixty years old at this time, so clearly he did not have this talent. So why should he give him hope?

Zhou Shuqing froze for a moment and smiled bitterly, “In that case, then I will not force mister.”

At that, he fished a business card out of his pocket, “Here’s my card. If I can help you in any way, please do let me know.”

Xiao Shun took the card, scanned it through quickly, and tucked it into his pocket, “Good.”

Once the little girl was stabilized, the doctors in the ward left the room, and only one nurse stayed to watch over her.

Wang Feng once again thanked Xiao Shun.

After a short break, Xiao Shun and Yao Cen said goodbye to Wang Feng and were ready to go home.

In the car.

Xiao Shun leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed. He looked very tired.

“Are you okay?” Yao Cen asked with a sideways glance.

“Are you concerned about me now?” He said with a reluctant smile.

“Hmph.” Yao Cen looked at his smug look and turned her head away.

When the two returned home Liu Yunxiang had already got the dinner ready and she was waiting for them.

She knew that something happened at the company today and when she saw them coming back, Liu Yunxiang hurried over and took the handbag she was holding and asked, “How did things go at the company?”

“It’s all settled.” After a long day, Yao Cen was also a bit tired and said lightly.

“That’s fine.”

Liu Yunxiang turned to Xiao Shun and said impatiently, “Wash those clothes first, before you have your dinner.”

“I’m a little tired and hungry. I’ll do those laundry later.”

Xiao Shun took a seat at the table and said tiredly.

“Xiao Shun, what do you think you are? You are just living off my daughter and now, what? You don’t even want to do just a bit of housework?”

Liu Yunxiang said all the mean words that came to her mind.

Xiao Shun felt a sudden anger rising in his heart. He rose to his feet and looked straight at her.

The unreasonable mean reproaches of Liu Yunxiang suddenly ignited the anger in his heart and he was now staring at her with burning eyes.

Liu Yunxiang froze.

“How dare you glare at me, you bastard? What? Well, just slap me right here if you dare!”

She raised her chin and approached Xiao Shun.

“Xiao Shun, where are your manners? She’s your mother-in-law!” Yao Jianguo chided.

Yao Cen hurried over and pulled Liu Yunxiang aside, “Mom, Mom, forget it, he helped me a lot today too. I’m all hungry already, let’s have dinner.”

When she finished she glanced at Xiao Shun and gently scolded, “Sit down and have your dinner.”

What’s wrong with this guy?

Was it because of what they said at the company about the Sun family?

Yao Cen felt very puzzled.

Xiao Shun held back his anger and sat down. There was no use holding grudges with such a woman and it was not the first time she had said such words.

However, three years were not a short time. He had holding back his emotions for too long and he almost lost control of himself just now.

The dinner was tasteless for him, and Yao Cen told them what had happened at the company during the day.

She also told them how much Xiao Shun had helped them in retrieving the money.

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, “So what? He just did what he should do! He’s been living off our family for such a long time. Does he think he’s something now?”

“No matter what, Xiao Shun, your divorce is a sure thing now, let me tell you.”

Regardless of what they said, Xiao Shun never raised his head and he just ate.

Yao Cen didn’t know what she should say. She knew what Liu Yunxiang was thinking. Since Xiao Shun had entered their home, she had been despising him. In her eyes, even his breathing would cause tremendous waste of their precious air.

The reason was obvious.

Xiao Shun was a useless tramp and her daughter was beautiful and from an affluent family. She might easily deserve a marriage even better than the Yao family and even she could have something to brag about.

But since Xiao Shun came, she always felt ashamed in front of her friends and family, so naturally she felt chagrined.

After dinner, Xiao Shun ignored all the plates and clothes, washed up briefly in the restroom and went back to their room.

He took out his mat from the cupboard and lay down.

Liu Yunxiang was so angry that she cursed outside for ten minutes, and Xiao Shun completely ignored them.

She could curse as much as she wanted.

Yao Cen returned to her room and saw Xiao Shun curl up on his mat, as if determined to ignore everything, and she shook her head helplessly.

She lay back on her bed, recalling the changes of Xiao Shun this day, and couldn’t help but ask, “Today…”

“I’m a little tired. We can talk tomorrow.” Xiao Shun murmured.

This bastard…

So did he even want to ignore me?

Just because I didn’t speak up against the divorce during the day?

Yao Cen gritted his teeth and covered herself hard with the quilt.

What right did a loser have to be angry!

…

Xiao Shun slept soundly this night, and when he woke up the next day, he saw Yao Cen sitting in front of the mirror, putting on her makeup.

She wore a gray suit, white shirt, and nine-quarter skinny jeans with stiletto heels.

The suit’s waistline was positioned just right, outlining her slender waist, the white shirt set off her jade-like snow-white glowing skin, the jeans revealed her smooth ankles, and the high heels set off her straight and slender legs.

And that stunningly beautiful face was just as pretty as always.

Xiao Shun couldn’t take his eyes off of her for a moment.

Yao Cen took in his stares from the mirror and couldn’t help but feel a wave of disgust flood through her heart, “Have you looked enough?”

Xiao Shun came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, “You’re going out?”

“My niece is back from overseas today, so we’re having lunch at Emperor Hall.”

“Do I have to go too?” Xiao Shun asked.

“No.” She added after a pause, “Well, it’s what Mom said.”

He would be even happier at home alone.

After the family went out, he got back to his room and began his practice.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
