The Crazy Son-In-Law

As the evening approached at six o’clock, the city of Eastbrook was aglow with lights.

In the city center, the Sheraton Hotel.

Xiao Shun accompanied Cao Wanqing as arranged.

Gazing at the magnificent lobby before them, Xiao Shun’s lips curled slightly: “Quite grand!”

On the other hand, Cao Wanqing remained silent, walking ahead in her own thoughts.

Seeing this, he shrugged his shoulders, feeling that this woman had become somewhat distant since that afternoon, leaving him at a loss.

Furrowing his eyebrows for a moment, Xiao Shun quickened his pace to catch up.

Without speaking a word, they took the elevator straight to the sixth floor of the hotel.

This floor housed the VIP rooms, specifically reserved for hosting important guests, out of reach for ordinary people.

Could a magazine entertainment editor have the power to reserve such a room?

The answer was obviously negative.

Passing through a luxuriously adorned corridor, their figures appeared at the door of a private room.

Cao Wanqing paused in her steps, neither pushing the door nor reaching out, with a hesitant look on her face.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Shun asked faintly.

After a moment of contemplation, Cao Wanqing replied, “Nothing, just a bad feeling.”

Xiao Shun looked at her strangely, unsure of the deeper meaning behind her words.

Suddenly, he remembered something. Cao Wanqing had mentioned earlier that there was a reason why she ended up in such a state at the airport!

For some reason, Xiao Shun felt that this reason might be revealed shortly.

Just as he pondered, Cao Wanqing pushed open the door.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Instantly, a luxurious private room came into view.

Accompanied by the appearance of a man.

This man had thick glasses perched on his nose like a wine bottle, around forty years old, showing signs of a receding hairline, giving off an air of listlessness.

Upon seeing Cao Wanqing, the middle-aged man immediately stood up with a big smile to greet her.

“Haha, Miss Cao, please come in!”

However, when he saw Xiao Shun standing beside Cao Wanqing, his expression seemed somewhat surprised, but quickly recovered.

As everyone took their seats, the middle-aged man started introducing himself.

“I am Huang Youfu, the entertainment editor of the Eastbrook Morning News!”

He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Cao Wanqing.

Cao Wanqing showed no weakness, casually taking off her sunglasses and giving Huang Youfu a cold glance: “Let’s get down to business.”

“Uh…”

Huang Youfu was caught off guard by her direct approach.

He reluctantly withdrew the business card and chuckled.

“Well, actually, I didn’t bring you here to negotiate a price. After all, those photos have already been bought by someone else. I’m just here to bring you to this place on his behalf.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Wanqing said resignedly, “It’s He Junxian, right?”

“Not hiding it, Son He spared no expense for you, Miss Cao. Those photos fetched the highest price I’ve ever seen in my career, ten million per photo, tsk tsk tsk…” Huang Youfu sighed repeatedly.

As an entertainment editor, he was also a professional paparazzo who struck fear into the hearts of celebrities.

But the profits he made from Cao Wanqing this time were beyond his imagination!

Ten photos brought him a billion in returns, an astonishing reward.

Of course, this also indicated the degree of attention He Junxian, the heir, had for Cao Wanqing.

Who He Junxian was, Xiao Shun naturally did not know, nor was he interested in knowing.

Now that the photos Cao Wanqing had privately contacted him about had been bought by someone else, all he had to do was go ask that person for them.

Thinking this, Xiao Shun stood up and said, “Let’s go, let’s go find that Master He and get the photos back.”

Cao Wanqing sat still, showing no sign of getting up.

Upon hearing Xiao Shun’s words, Huang Youfu could not help but scoff.

“Haha, you, kid, still want to compete with Master He for Miss Cao? I think you are a dreamer!”

Having handled those photos of Cao Wanqing, Huang Youfu naturally knew Xiao Shun was the male lead in the incident. Hearing his shameless words, he felt contempt.

“Compete with Cao Wanqing?” Xiao Shun chuckled.

“Me and him?”

What a joke!

“Kid, you don’t sound like a local, right?” Huang Youfu raised an eyebrow provocatively.

“So what?” Xiao Shun furrowed his brow.

Chuckling lightly, Huang Youfu continued, “No wonder, you didn’t know that Master He is Miss Cao’s fiancé.”

Xiao Shun was stunned, looking at Cao Wanqing whose eyes were flickering beside him.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of enlightenment.

Without waiting for Cao Wanqing to explain, Huang Youfu spoke first.

“Originally, Master He asked me to contact people to inquire about your news, but I hadn’t issued that order yet. You, kid, actually came here voluntarily, so get ready to face Master He’s wrath!”

Xiao Shun suddenly realized.

No wonder this man looked surprised and puzzled when he saw himself just now. It turned out like this!

With this thought in mind, he couldn’t help but smile and sit back in his chair, crossing his hands in front of him, looking calm and composed.

The situation had turned out like this, so he didn’t need to worry about Cao Wanqing’s reputation being tarnished.

After all, those photos had already been bought by her fiancé, He Junxian. Why should he worry about those matters!

Moreover, the previous misunderstandings could be cleared up with an explanation. It wasn’t a big deal.

While Xiao Shun was lost in his thoughts, Cao Wanqing’s expression became increasingly worried.

He Junxian’s family originally resided in Northleap, but due to his father being transferred to Eastbrook as an inspector, they had moved.

Before this, the He family and the Cao family had long been on good terms.

As a result, the two had been childhood friends.

Cao Wanqing naturally couldn’t accept arrangements like a pre-arranged marriage.

However, He Junxian had persisted relentlessly until the past two years due to his family’s relocation, he had relented.

This was why Cao Wanqing appeared in such a state when she arrived in Eastbrook, cautious and afraid of being discovered wherever she went.

Her actions were to avoid the annoying paparazzi and crazy fans.

As Huang Youfu looked teasingly at Xiao Shun, who was puffing smoke, he said, “Kid, you’ve got guts. Sitting here smoking so nonchalantly. Have you thought about how to face Master He’s wrath later?”

Xiao Shun smiled and didn’t respond.

After all, he and Cao Wanqing were innocent, so there was no need to fear misunderstandings.
