The Crazy Son-In-Law

After Xiao Shun came out of the bathroom, he went back to his seat when suddenly, a figure walked up to Xiao Shun and asked.

“Xiao Shun, what do you think of this place?”

He glanced up and saw Yao Han standing there looking at him.

Xiao Shun couldn’t help but say, “This guy just will never stop.” He didn’t seem to have provoked him, nor did he know why this guy was constantly coming to provoke him.

“Not bad.” Xiao Shun replied lightly as he swirled the glass in his hand.

“Do you know these people?” Yao Han continued to ask with a mocking smile as he stuck one hand in his pocket and held his glass with the other.

“I don’t know.”

“All of the city’s elites.”

“Oh.” Xiao Shun said with a calm face.

“So what do you think you are?” Yao Han asked again.

“What do you think I am?” Xiao Shun said as he glanced up at him.

“Shit, pfft… No, I’m wrong, you might not even be shit!” Yao Han said as he came up to him.

Xiao Shun looked up lazily at the smug airhead in front of him.

If he had asked for it, he really didn’t mind rewarding him with a slap on the wrist.

At this moment, a square-faced, short-haired man in his mid-thirties approached and asked, “Mr. Yao, this is?”

Yao Han straightened up and clinked his glass with him, taking a sip of his drink and raising an eyebrow, “Just a piece of stinking shit.”

The square-faced man sized up Xiao Shun for a moment and said with a disdainful look on his face, “Since he’s a piece of shit, why should Mr. Yao waste his time for him. Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to a new friend.”

Yao Han nodded gently and walked away with his hand on the square-faced man’s shoulder.

Xiao Shun withdrew his gaze, feeling speechless.

He swirled his glass of red wine and seemed to be thinking.

About a minute later, a man and a woman came down from the second floor.

The man was dressed in a gray plaid suit and his hair was immaculately combed. He was none other than Meng Lezhi, the convener of this party, and the young woman beside him was Rou.

Meng Lezhi’s gaze quickly skimmed over the group of young men and women who were on the first floor as he spoke aloud.

“I’m sorry, our party may need to be paused for a while. I’m really sorry to spoil the fun for everyone.”

The crowd downstairs all turned their attention to Meng Lezhi.

“President Meng, did something happen?” Someone asked.

Meng Lezhi cleared his throat and said, “Yes, there may be a thief among us. It was a mistake on my part, as we all know, this party is open to everyone and people who probably shouldn’t have gotten in got in.”

At that, the crowd erupted into a murmur.

After a few moments, the eyes of the crowd turned to Xiao Shun sitting in the corner, who was the only one who looked special in this huge villa.

However, Xiao Shun remained very calm as his gaze swept over the crowd and he smiled blandly, “What do you mean? You think it’s me?”

“Yes, we checked the surveillance, and we’re sure it was you.”

The sexy woman spoke up, “I went to the bathroom and left my ring on the sink, but I didn’t realize that I had just left the bathroom for just a few short minutes and my ring was stolen by this man.”

“Besides, who among us would go to such lengths for a ring that costs only a few thousand dollars?” The sexy woman continued.

‘That hurt, so it’s me just because I am poor?’

The gang immediately broke into a discussion.

“If you did take it, give her the ring back. Don’t make a scene of yourself.”

“What a shame. That’s what you do when you are poor.”

“Who the hell brought him in?”

Yao Cen’s face was so pale that she almost wanted to find a hole to hide.

They had proof, they had surveillance video, and as much as she wanted to believe that Xiao Shun wouldn’t do something like that, she just could not get rid of the idea that maybe he would really do something stupid for money.

At that moment, Yao Han suddenly stepped forward.

“I am really sorry everyone. His name is Xiao Shun and he is my sister Yao Cen’s husband. I am really sorry that he has done such a disgraceful thing today. I am now apologizing to the host on behalf of our family. He is truly a disgrace to my family!”

With that, he looked to Xiao Shun and snapped.

“Xiao Shun, take that ring out. You’ve brought shame on yourself, and you’ve brought shame on our family!”

“I didn’t take it.”

Xiao Shun said calmly.

“If you don’t take it out, then we’ll just have to search you!” Yao Han grimaced.

“Xiao Shun, you better return that ring now. You are with the Yao family and I will just let you go this time. But if you refuse, you will be making things difficult for yourselves.”

Meng Lezhi said as he took a few steps towards him.

“Is that so? I’m really curious what you can do to me.” Xiao Shun said with a contemptuous laugh.

“How arrogant! Do you know who it is that speaks to you?”

From the side of Meng Lezhi a short man with a lean build jumped out and called out.

Xiao Shun said with a calm look on his face, “Who he is, is not important.”

A dead silence immediately enveloped the room.

Everyone couldn’t believe their ears and all looked at him with stunned faces.

Although nominally Meng Lezhi was just the president of Gumble Property, he had a very complicated private connection with all kind of people.

Moreover, Gumble Property belonged to the Song family, so naturally he just had the support of the Song family, so many small families did not dare to mess with him.

In the eyes of those in this city, many of those families were quite prominent just like the four families, but in reality, they were not even remotely comparable to the four families.

Most of these families were worth no more than two or three hundred million, and with their countless branches, a family might be worth perhaps millions or even less.

To take the Yao family for example, the entire Yao family might be worth upwards of 200 million, but when those assets were distributed among their branches, they would only get 50 million each, and when it came to Yao Cen’s father, the 50 million was distributed again, so they only had less than 20 million each.

Although Yao Zhenjiang was currently the head of the entire Yao family internally, each family was fighting to the death for their own interests, and mergers and embezzlement were not uncommon.

The four families, however, were different. With their over billion assets and complicated connections, they had more clearly defined rules and more concentrated power.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

So in addition to the people from the four families, they knew they could not even afford to mess with even those who were close to them.

And Xiao Shun was just a son-in-law of the Yao family.
