The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun couldn’t stand seeing a woman’s tears, and seeing Caolan Weiqing crying like this made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had cat’s claws in his heart.

After a moment, he sighed deeply, “Tell me, what do you need my help with?”

Upon hearing this, Caolan Weiqing wiped away the tears from her face with her hand, her eyes shimmering with a sly glint.

Truly deserving of the title of “Best Actress”, her crying scene came effortlessly!

Xiao Shun naturally knew he was being played, but he had no choice. His principle was to do what he promised.

“Today, I have a dinner party to attend and I want to hire you as my bodyguard!”

Caolan Weiqing smiled smugly, unable to contain her satisfaction.

“Can I not go?” Xiao Shun was speechless.

“No!” Caolan Weiqing’s brows furrowed.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Shun knew he wasn’t getting out of it today.

Eight o’clock in the evening, Xuanwu District, Eastbrook City.

Xiao Shun and Caolan Weiqing’s figures appeared in a restaurant.

Although the peak dinner time had passed, the place was still bustling with customers.

In Eastbrook, this restaurant was known as a place for the wealthy to spend money and only a select few elites could afford to dine here.

Despite the high average spending per person, the business here was still thriving.

“Let’s go in.” With that, Caolan Weiqing led the way into Skyward Manor.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun naturally followed.

As soon as they entered, someone started mocking them.

“Oh, isn’t this Miss Caolan? And who’s this guy with you, does Miss Caolan actually like a poor guy who can’t even afford clothes?”

Upon hearing this, Caolan Weiqing’s beautiful eyes turned cold as she searched for the source of the mockery.

But when she saw who it was, her expression changed from surprise to shock!

Inside Skyward Manor, in the hall.

At that moment, a man was looking at Xiao Shun with disdain.

He was the one who had mocked them earlier.

The man, dressed sharply in an expensive suit, had a repulsive expression on his face.

Ye Jisheng, a notorious playboy in Eastbrook City, and also a crazed admirer of Caolan Weiqing.

The reason Caolan Weiqing appeared before Xiao Shun with such urgency today was largely because of this man.

But because the upcoming film festival was crucial for her, she had to show up here even though she didn’t want to.

Even the four major families in Eastbrook had to save face for Ye Jisheng, let alone someone like Caolan Weiqing who wasn’t a local.

So, she had to suppress her displeasure and respond without emotion.

“So it’s Mr. Ye, what a surprise to meet you here tonight!”

As for Xiao Shun standing next to her, he didn’t pay the same respect to Ye Jisheng.

If a dog barks at you, do you have to bark back?

Clearly, Xiao Shun regarded Ye Jisheng’s earlier sarcasm as mere barking.

After hearing Caolan Weiqing’s words, Ye Jisheng retracted his disdainful gaze on Xiao Shun and then amusingly looked at Caolan Weiqing.

“Heh, I’ve asked Miss Caolan out before, but you always dodged, saying you were too busy. But today, you come here with this poor guy, are you trying to be disrespectful to me, Young Master Ye?”

“Mr. Ye, this guy is just a nobody, our brothers will take care of him!”

“Yeah, he doesn’t even know who Mr. Ye is, how dare he try to steal the woman Mr. Ye likes, I think he’s tired of living!”

“Damn, let’s all go at him together!”

Suddenly, the seven or eight followers next to Ye Jisheng became spirited and started walking aggressively towards Xiao Shun.

Seeing this, Caolan Weiqing quickly stepped in to explain.

“Mr. Ye, it’s not what you think! I’ve been busy with the film preparations these past few days… and this person is just my bodyguard!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jisheng waved his hand, signaling his lackeys to stop.NôvelDrama.Org content.

The followers who were just gearing up, immediately stopped in their tracks, then turned and looked menacingly at Xiao Shun.

“So he’s just a bodyguard, huh?” Ye Jisheng said lightly, which slightly eased Caolan Weiqing’s earlier tension.

But just when she thought things had calmed down, Ye Jisheng changed his tone.

“A bodyguard still can’t be let off, strip this bastard of his clothes and throw him out from here!”

At his command, the seven or eight lackeys once again sprang into action, each one moving menacingly towards Xiao Shun.

Seeing this, Caolan Weiqing’s expression turned cold, wanting to reprimand Ye Jisheng.

But before she could speak, she felt a light tap on her shoulder.

Then, she heard a calming voice in her ear.

“Let me handle this!”

As soon as the words fell, her vision blurred, a strong surge of air blowing her hair strands in front of her forehead, accompanied by a few muffled sounds.

When she refocused on Xiao Shun, several men were already on the ground at his feet.

Upon closer inspection, they were the aggressive lackeys who had just been after him.

“What the hell, Four Eyes, did you see that clearly?”

“Damn, my glasses probably need new lenses, couldn’t see clearly!”

“This guy is too badass, in the blink of an eye, he took out seven or eight strong men, unbelievable!”

“Boss, are you shooting a martial arts movie here today?”

In the nearby crowd, there was an intense discussion.

This was because Xiao Shun’s actions just now were too quick for them to see the details clearly.

When the group felt their eyes blur and then…

Xiao Shun paid no attention to the various discussions in the crowd. He walked confidently towards Ye Jisheng, who was now showing a ghostly expression.

As Xiao Shun approached, Ye Jisheng’s legs went weak, trembling like a sieve.

“You… don’t come any closer, I am the son of Ye Nantian, if you dare to hurt me, I guarantee you won’t leave Eastbrook City!”

Upon hearing this name, everyone was surprised!

For these elites and dignitaries who frequented Skyward Manor, hearing the name Ye Nantian was more shocking than hearing Caolan Weiqing’s name!

After all, to them, celebrities were just celebrities, but Ye Nantian was different. He was the president of the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce and also the branch head of the Eastbrook Old School Society, his power and influence were extraordinary!

Standing firm, Xiao Shun looked expressionlessly at the pale-faced Ye Jisheng, ignoring his earlier words. “Strip naked, crawl out from here, this matter is settled!”

His tone left no room for argument.

It hadn’t been a great day for Xiao Shun, and he had faced too many unwarranted provocations like this recently, making him tired of dealing with it.

Echoing Xiao Shun’s resolute tone, Ye Jisheng felt a buzzing in his head.

What? This bodyguard actually made him strip naked and crawl out from here? Is this guy even human?

Just as Ye Jisheng was raging with anger, the crowd began to stir once more.

“Miss Caolan’s bodyguard seems quite bold! Daring to threaten Young Master Ye?”

“Heh heh, don’t you know who Ye Nantian is? Do you really think Young Master Ye will listen to that boy’s words? Let’s watch the show!”

It was unclear if it was because of the person’s words, but Ye Jisheng, who had been about to wet himself from fear of Xiao Shun, suddenly found courage from somewhere. He picked up a fruit knife and thrust it towards Xiao Shun.

Having never experienced such humiliation, as a member of the Ye family, he had to fight back with all his might.

With the fruit knife in his hand, Ye Jisheng exuded an imposing aura.

But ideals were lofty, while reality was harsh.

Just as he thought he was about to turn the tables, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and the fruit knife disappeared!

In the next moment, he saw a shadowy light shooting from Xiao Shun’s hand, grazing his neck and flying backward before disappearing into the wall instantaneously.

This time, Ye Jisheng was truly frightened!

For the first time in his life, he faced such a life-threatening crisis.

He could still vividly recall the cold and terrifying feeling when the glint passed his neck.
