Chapter 5 I Want Him to Be My Grandson-in-law
Xiao Shun’s sneer became broader, emanating a cold aura.
Those short-sighted jerks repeatedly insulted him in the past three years and thought they could bully him wantonly.
If his master hadn’t reminded him before traveling, Xiao Shun wouldn’t have stayed with this family to let them humiliate him.
Yao Han, however, was too arrogant. He had detested Xiao Shun for a long time. Approaching him, Yao Han ordered, “I don’t care if you’re willing. You must sign the agreement.”
“You’ve insulted me for three years. Now you humiliate me in public and want to dump me, so you can unite with an influential family. Your Yao family is really scheming. You do have the balls!” Xiao Shun snorted, but his voice spread all over the hall.
Others were shocked and didn’t expect he had the guts to retort.
He had only spoken gently, but his voice spread throughout the hall. It was extraordinary, but they all ignored it.
“You rubbish! Do you know what you are talking about?”
With a livid face, Yao Zhenshu paced the floor with his walking stick.
Yao Han and other people of the Yaos bounced up and down in anger. Pointing at Xiao Shun, Yao Han snapped, “You junk! You’ve stayed in the Yao’ for three years and relied on us. You are just a parasite. How dare you declare you’ve been wronged!”
Planting her hands on her hips, Li Chunlian hopped up and down while roaring, “Exactly! Look at you. It’s our family master’s birthday. How dare you give him such a shabby copper coin to disgrace our family! Shame on you! Does our family owe you?”
All the Yaos scolded Xiao Shun without a stop.
Xiao Shun didn’t fight back. When he gathered and circled his energy all over his body and was about to blow up, a familiar voice sounded out at the door, “Excuse me, young man.”
Two figures entered, one young and one old.
The old man was spirited and vigorous. His eyes sparkled sharply. Although gray-haired, he stood upright, emanating an extraordinary temperament.
Beside him was a young, pretty woman. She looked brilliant and lively. Her eyes, glimmering with smartness, made her as cunning as a fox.
They immediately became the focus of the hall.
“It seems I’ve arrived at the right time,” the old man remarked.
Repressing his anger, Yao Zhenshu walked up to them and asked hesitantly, “I’m Yao Zhenshu. Mister, may I know who you are…”
“Song Zhenhai,” the old man answered. They were the two Xiao Shun met in the bank earlier.
He added, “This is Song Linger, my granddaughter.”
Their names shocked all the guests. They all recognized the old man was the master of the Song family.
The Song family was the most influential in Hamana, and Song Zhenhai was the most respected man in town. He could change Hamana easily by lifting a finger.
Even the famous Ouyang family couldn’t be compared to them.
Ouyang Zheng immediately bowed at Song Zhenhai. “A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Song. I’m Ouyang Zheng.”
Yao Zhenshu echoed hurriedly, “Sorry. I didn’t recognize you earlier, Mr. Song. Welcome.”
The two elders bowed at Song Zhenhai one after another, so others followed suit.
Yao Han’s gaze fell on Song Linger, and he could hardly repress his excitement. He heard that the granddaughter of the Song family had been a beauty for a long time but had never met her in person.
How he wished to be her husband!
With this thought, Yao Han put on a self-confident smile, walked up, and greeted Song Linger, “Miss Song, I’m Yao Han, the grandson of the family master.”
He thought himself a charming man.
However, Song Linger only darted at him leisurely without response and looked away.
Following her gaze, Yao Han seethed with rage. She was looking at the good-for-nothing.
Song Zhenhai flicked his hand and said, “Please don’t panic. I’m here to look for someone…”
He stared at Xiao Shun while speaking.
Following his gaze, Yao Zhenshu burst into anger.
Pointing at Xiao Shun, he snapped, “Hurry up and bow to Mr. Song.”
Others all looked at Xiao Shun disdainfully and couldn’t believe he acted rudely in Song Zhenhai’s presence. They were sure Song Zhenhai would be angry with Xiao Shun.
However, much to their surprise, Song Zhenhai hurriedly stopped Yao Zhenshu, “Please don’t. I should greet Mr. Xiao. Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Xiao.”
Taking Song Linger’s hand, he strode toward Xiao Shun.
In everyone’s shocked gazes, he bowed at Xiao Shun respectfully.
Xiao Shun watched him, feeling intrigued.
“Ah… Well…” Yao Zhenshu stammered in a panic.
“Mr. Song, do you mean my rubbish… oh, no, live-in grandson-in-law has saved you? Is it a misunderstanding?”
“A misunderstanding?” Song Zhenhai snorted.
Then he snapped, “You don’t treasure such an outstanding young man. You have misunderstandings. How dare you call Dr. Xiao rubbish!”
Upon hearing how he defended Xiao Shun, others were startled, wondering if they were hearing things.
Song Zhenhai continued, stunning them more, “I returned to town with my granddaughter to worship our ancestors. In the bank, my sickness suddenly broke out. Fortunately, Dr. Xiao rescued me. After a hospital checkup, I found that the old sickness that had bothered me for almost two decades had been cured.”
“Dr. Xiao only acupunctured me for a few minutes. His medical skills could be compared to Dr. Wang Ye, the best doctor in Hamana. Are you telling me such a talented man is rubbish?”
Song Zhenhai looked at Xiao Shun and then sneered at Yao Zhenshu, “The Yaos seem too stupid. You want to kick him out of your family. I want him to be my grandson-in-law. I wish my granddaughter could marry such an excellent man.”
His words blushed Song Linger’s face. Curling her lips, she was reluctant to let her grandfather decide her marriage.
Song Zhenhai’s words were like several bombshells. Others were too shocked to utter a word.
They had never heard Song Zhenhai praise another person so highly before. Xiao Shun was the first one he complimented so much. They started doubting if Xiao Shun was really a good-for-nothing as the rumors had.
Frowning deeply, Yao Cen had mixed feelings. She could tell Song Zhenhai meant it when mentioning to let Song Linger marry Xiao Shun.
However, she wondered when her useless husband had learned medical skills.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
