Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 14

The Shen family manor.

The rain was pouring heavily outside, and the sky was overcast.

When Li Er called, Shen Jiu-Yi was watching the financial news in the living room.

And a topless Shen Fei was just leaving the bathroom after his shower. “Dad, did you see that Qiu Mu- Cheng kneeling in front of our house? I heard the third daughter of the Qiu family was a prideful woman but, in front of the Shen family, she could do nothing but kneel in apology.”

Shen Fei looked proud of himself. He enjoyed the feeling of having power over others, especially when they grovelled before him.

However, Shen Jiu-Yi turned to glare at Shen Fei and said, “You unfilial son. I am warning you. If you abuse our family’s authority to bully others, I will break your legs!”

“Dad, I am innocent. Qiu Mu-Cheng came to kneel on her own accord. I had nothing to do with it,” Shen Fei said aggrievedly.

Shen Jiu-Yi snorted coldly. “Hmph, you had better be telling the truth. If I find out you have been committing misdeeds, I will punish you.”

Every time Shen Jiu-Yi saw his son, he managed to get himself worked up.

Over the years, Shen Fei had caused a lot of trouble for him. If their family did not have power and influence, Shen Fei would have faced the firing squad several times over.

“Go get dressed. We are going to see Master Er.”

Li Er had called and asked for a meeting earlier. Shen Jiu-Yi did not think much about it and decided to bring his son along to meet Master Er as well.

Shen Fei did not dare to act up in front of his father so he complied right away. After changing into his clothes, he drove to Master Li Er’s residence with his father.

Shen Fei did not often get involved in business operations, but the name Li Er was well known to him.

“Master Er is the unofficial king of Yunzhou and even the mayor has to treat him with respect. Be on your toes when you see him later. If he likes you, then it will be helpful to our family.” Along the way, Shen Jiu-Yi instructed his son on proper conduct.

“Dad, don’t worry. I am sharp. I won’t embarrass you.”

Shen Fei laughed heartily.

Before long, the Benz reached the Li family villa. Under the guidance of a servant, the father and son pair soon reached the living room.

In the room, Li Er sat quietly, his expression grave. Although he looked calm, he still inspired awe.

When he saw Li Er, Shen Fei hurried forward to pay his respect. But Li Er paid him no attention.

“Master Er, you wanted to see me?” Shen Jiu-Yi’s senses told him that something was wrong. His heart tensed and he suddenly had a very bad feeling.

“Shen Jiu-Yi, let me ask you. Did you offend anyone important recently?”

Shen Jiu-Yi went quiet for a while and then shook his head. “Master Er, I have been busy with my company’s affairs. I haven’t had the time to offend anyone.”

“Is that so?” Li Er snorted coldly and threw a photograph at Shen Jiu-Yi. “Take a good look. Tell me, have you offended the person in the photograph?”

Shen Jiu-Yi bowed his head and took a look. The photograph was that of a young man wearing simple clothes. He was slim and good-looking but, considering his attire, he didn’t look like a rich person.

“Master Er, I have never seen this person before. How could I have offended him?” Shen Jiu-Yi was really confused. He didn’t know why Master Er was asking him about the young man, but he was getting nervous.

Pong!

Li Er slammed the table and jumped to his feet. The movement caused a tea cup to fall to the floor, where it smashed to pieces. “You are still denying it? Then let me remind you again. His name is Ye Fan, a son-in-law of the Qiu family.”

“Eh?” When he heard Ye Fan’s name, Shen Fei frowned and, without waiting for his father’s response, he hurried forward to look at the photograph. And then he smiled.

“Master Er, I am afraid you have made a mistake. I know the person in this photo. He is a live-in son-in- law of the Qiu family. A useless trash. He is not anyone important. Just now, he was still kneeling in front of our house with his wife.”

Shen Fei laughed heartily and he completely missed the frosty look in Li Er’s eyes. So he continued, “Ye Fan is a silly man. He is just a live-in son-in-law but not only did he look down on my family, he also insulted you. He actually said Master Er was a nobody. That made me angry. I was willing to let him off for insulting me, but I could not tolerate him insulting you. So I got a few of my men to follow him. They will teach him a lesson.”

Shen Fei smiled happily at Li Er and waited expectantly for the praise to come his way.

“What? You sent your men to teach him a lesson?”

Li Er trembled violently, as if he had just been struck with a bolt of lightning.

“Yes, Master Er. They should be reaching his house around this time. Is there something the matter?” Shen Fei had a perplexed look on his face. He didn’t understand why Master Er was overreacting.

“Screw you!”

“If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Li Er was scared witless. He cut loose with a stream of scolding and sent Shen Fei to the floor with a kick. His face had already turned pale and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Who was Ye Fan?

He was the heir to the Chu family of Great China!

He was the only descendant of the Chu family who could use the Tian (Heaven) character in his name!

In order to see him, the head of the Chu family came down personally to Yunzhou.

Li Er was all too willing to suck up to a person like him. He was even willing to call Ye Fan “daddy”.

But his own underlings went and provoked Ye Fan.

Surely, they were trying to get him killed?

Were they tired of living?

In a fit of rage, Li Er threw a kick at Shen Jiu-Yi.

“Shen Jiu-Yi, screw you!”

“You will be the death of me!”

“Do you know who he is?”

“He is Chu Tian-Fan, the only member of the Tian character generation in the Chu family!”

“That’s the Chu family. The family that’s as powerful as a country. Even the government has to suck up to them. Even heads of state have to show them respect.”

“Do you know? A hundred thousand soldiers are stationed in the suburb of Fenghai city. Why? Because the government is protecting the Chu’s family house!”

Li Er howled angrily. Shen Jiu-Yi and his son were both scared witless and their minds were in a blank state.

“The Chu family of Great China?”

“As powerful as a country?”

“Fenghai suburb. A hunded thousand soldiers. Just to protect the Chu’s family house?”

Heavens!

Who had they provoked?

Shen Fei was in a state of daze. Both his legs were shaking and his body was drenched in cold sweat.

And Shen Jiu-Yi was panicking. His face had turned as white as sheet and, finally, he collapsed on the floor with a pong sound.

“Mas… Master Er, wha...what should I do? Please, you have to help me?”

Shen Jiu-Yi was a veteran of the business world and had a tougher temperament than most people. Even as he was panicking, he knew to ask Li Er for help.

“Get lost!” Li Er threw another kick at Shen Jiu-Yi.

“Help you?”

“I can’t even save myself now.”

“Young Master Fan has already said so. After tonight, the Shen family shall vanish from Yunzhou city!”

Boom~

The news hit the father-and-son pair like a thunder bolt from the sky. They stayed rooted to the spot, stunned and filled with despair.

Shen Fei laid limply on the floor. He was so petrified that he couldn’t get a word out of his mouth.

As for Shen Jiu-Yi, his heart was filled with despair. Finally, he decided to vent his anxiety and anger by beating his son.

“You bastard, oh, you bastard!”

“You bastard~”

“The Shen family will be destroyed because of you!”
