The Crazy Son-In-Law

Upon hearing this, Du Xing turned his head and frowned at his subordinate. The subordinate pointed at Xiao Zhou with his chin and carefully said, “President Xiao is over there.” Du Xing glanced at Xiao Zhou and sized him up, his face displaying a complex expression.

“President Du, you’ve mistaken him for someone else. The President Xiao you’re looking for is my grandson-in-law,” Liu Mingda said, pointing at Xiao Zhou. “How could President Du mistake Xiao Shun for some President Xiao? It’s so funny. Xiao Shun doesn’t have even a bit of the air of a president, he’s just a poor and shabby joke.”

“Yeah, just look at him, and they call him President Xiao…”

The others whispered among themselves while Xiao Shun stood there calmly, smiling without speaking. At this moment, Xiao Zhou stepped forward and said, “President Du, he is just the husband of my girlfriend’s sister. You should be looking for me. I’m honored by your attention, how may I help you?”

Du Xing gritted his teeth and glanced at him, snorting through his nose before chuckling, “You are President Xiao?” “Yeah, I am Xiao Zhou from the Xiao family of Newstrand,” Xiao Zhou said with a hint of pride. Du Xing turned back to his subordinate, “Is this the President Xiao you found?”

The subordinate nodded blankly.

Smack!

Du Xing slapped his subordinate’s face, “You can’t even handle such a simple task. What use are you?” The subordinate immediately covered his face and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Du Xing turned back to Xiao Zhou, “You’re worthy of being called President Xiao? I’ve never even heard of any Newstrand Xiao family!” Then he turned to Xiao Shun and bowed deeply, saying with an air of chivalry, “President Xiao, my subordinate made a terrible mistake and identified the wrong person. I’ll personally host a banquet to apologize to you at a later date. Please forgive us.”

Du Xing’s slap not only hit his subordinate’s face but also the faces of the Liu family members. His subsequent actions left the Liu family members even more shocked, staring dumbfounded at the scene, unable to calm down for a long time.

How could it be possible?

Xiao Shun was the President Xiao that Du Xing was looking for?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Du Xing, the big shot of St Marquet and vice president of the Pearl Commercial Chamber, was actually bowing and apologizing to a useless son-in-law? It was unbelievable.

Xiao Shun remained unruffled, speaking calmly, “President Du, today is Old Master Liu’s birthday. It’s not convenient for you to be here. You can go back first and we’ll get in touch when there’s an opportunity.”

Du Xing nodded, “I just came to see you and pay my respects to your grandfather-in-law. I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll take my leave now.” He then left the hall with his entourage and exited the Liu family residence.

It was only after Du Xing left that the Liu family members gradually came to their senses. “Was that really Du Xing?” Liu Yunxia asked quietly. “There are dozens of eyes outside, could they all be mistaken?” Wen Yunshan replied. “Did President Du have some kind of leverage over this kid?” “It’s a possibility, but if he had something on Du Xing, he probably wouldn’t survive the night.”

At this moment, Xiao Zhou still stood there with a stupefied expression, feeling humiliated.

“So, that gold card should belong to our son-in-law Xiao Shun. Does anyone still think our son-in-law is useless?” Liu Yunxiang straightened her back and asked confidently. The Liu family members were momentarily speechless. By saying this, all the things they bought yesterday now belonged to Xiao Shun, and the car they had just forced the couple to return was actually theirs. Could anything be more ridiculous?

The atmosphere of the birthday banquet became awkward. After regaining his composure, Xiao Zhou walked over and handed the gold card to Xiao Shun, saying, “It’s just a vice president of the Pearl Commercial Chamber. There’s nothing to be so proud of. There’s no need to be arrogant.”

Xiao Shun looked at him in surprise, frowning. “I haven’t even said anything yet, and I am arrogant already? Do I really look that aggressive just by standing here?”

“That’s right. After all, he started from that kind of business. There’s nothing glorious about his background. Let me give you some advice: stay away from people like him, or you won’t even know how you died,” Liu said.

“Your Uncle Yunsheng is right. We can’t afford to provoke people like Du Xing, but we shouldn’t mix with them either. It will only bring trouble sooner or later,” Liu Mingda added.

“Uncle Yunsheng, Grandpa, it’s not what you think…”

Yao Cen was about to defend Xiao Shun but was immediately interrupted by Liu Mingda, “Enough, you don’t need to speak for him. Just listen to your grandfather and keep Xiao Shun away from them.”

Xiao Shun gave a faint smile, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. And let’s settle the accounts from earlier. According to your logic, shouldn’t those things you bought be returned to me?”

“I’ve already given gifts to Grandpa, but as for the others of you, I shouldn’t have to buy you any gifts, right?” Xiao Shun swept his gaze over Xiao Zhou, Liu Miaozhen, Liu Manxiang, and the others.

Liu Miaozhen’s heart sank. She hadn’t even had the chance to show off her 3 million diamond ring to her friends yet, and now it had to be returned. It made her extremely depressed. It was even more painful to lose something after having it for such a short time. She looked up at Xiao Zhou with tears streaming down her face.

“Give it back. I’ll buy you another one later,” Xiao Zhou gritted his teeth.

Damn it, Xiao Shun really made him suffer. Five million would be his company’s net profit for a year. Although he claimed to make millions a month, it was not that much in reality. If it wasn’t for that card, Liu Miaozhen might not have thought of buying a car and a diamond ring, and he wouldn’t have bought them without hesitation. Now it seemed that this 5 million had to be spent.

Liu Miaozhen tearfully gave the diamond ring and car keys back to Xiao Shun. Liu Manxiang, who was carrying her new Hermès bag, could only empty its contents and stuff it into Xiao Shun’s arms with a cold face, gritting her teeth, “What a joke!”

The other younger people also took out the things they had bought that day. Those who didn’t bring them promised to deliver them the next day.

The elders watched this scene with mixed feelings. Liu Yunxiang happily tidied up the things they had given to Xiao Shun one by one, finally letting go of her pent-up anger. Every year, she would return with Yao Jianguo and Xiao Shun, only to be neglected and angry. This year, she finally had a chance to stand tall and feel more confident.

“Alright, let’s put this matter behind us. Notify the kitchen to start serving the banquet,” Liu Mingda said with a frown.

A 90th birthday celebration had been tainted by these events, making him unhappy.
