My Ares Son-in-Law

As Jin Lanlan spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly, with a provocative light flashing in her eyes. It was as if she was deliberately provoking Jiang Yixiu's anger to see how she would flare up.

Jiang Yixiu was so angry at Jin Lanlan's words that her whole body was shaking slightly, but she put on an extremely sarcastic smile on her face, which was full of endless ridicule and anger: "No matter when, black and white are clear, how can you people confuse and reverse them at will? It's just a daydream, wishful thinking!"

Her voice trembled slightly with anger, and her hands subconsciously clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if she was about to rush forward in the next second to argue with Jin Lanlan about right and wrong.

Jiao Yulang sighed secretly as he watched the two women confront each other as soon as they met. He had expected all this. He knew that this was not the time to let the conflict escalate. If it continued like this, the situation would definitely get out of control.

So he hurriedly stepped forward, with a kind smile on his face, trying to play the role of a peacemaker: "Hey, everyone, calm down first. We finally got out today to relax. Let's not talk about business and family disputes. Let's just enjoy this wonderful time happily."

As he spoke, he looked back and forth between Jiang Yixiu and Jin Lanlan with an earnest look on his face, his eyes full of pleading, hoping that they could give him this face and stop.

Jin Lanlan's attitude towards Jiao Yulang was completely different. After hearing what Jiao Yulang said, a sweet smile instantly bloomed on her face, and she said in a delicate voice: "Okay, for Brother Yulang's sake, I won't bother with her. However, since everyone is here to fish, how about having a fishing competition? It can also add some fun and excitement to today's party."

As she spoke, she tilted her head, with a cunning gleam in her eyes, like a sly little fox. She seemed very proud of the idea she had come up with and was just waiting to see the other party take the bait.

When Jiang Yixiu heard Jin Lanlan's proposal, her brows instantly twisted into a deep "川" shape, her face full of worry and dissatisfaction, and she couldn't help but retort: ​​"Xiao Chen has never fished before, and Jiao Yulang is a famous fishing expert. How can this competition be held? Isn't this obviously bullying?" Her eyes were full of concern, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen, as if she was speaking up for him and worried about this unfair contest for him.

After hearing what Jiang Yixiu said, Jin Lanlan sneered sharply and contemptuously. The sound was like the cry of a night owl, which made people's backs cold. "Why, are you afraid of losing so you don't dare to compete? If you don't even have this little courage, what's the point of talking about revenge? It's a joke!"

Her eyes were full of mockery and contempt, and her tone was full of provocation, like a belligerent fighter, trying to provoke Jiang Yixiu and Xiao Chen with words so that they would agree to this seemingly unfair competition.

Jiang Yixiu is not the kind of person who is easily provoked. She was completely unmoved and just said calmly: "Whatever you say, we have important things to talk about and don't have time to play these boring tricks with you." She raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing deep disdain, as if she sneered at Jin Lanlan's provocation and didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

"Xue'er, it's okay!" At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke, his voice steady and powerful, resounding in everyone's ears like a huge bell: "They have already bullied us, if we don't fight back, wouldn't it be too cowardly? If you trust me, then take a gamble with them."

As he spoke, he confidently patted Jiang Yixue's shoulder, his palm broad and warm, conveying a firm strength. His eyes revealed a determination and confidence to win, as if he had already firmly grasped the victory. Jiang Yixue's heart suddenly moved when she heard Xiao Chen say this. She slowly turned her head and stared into Xiao Chen's eyes seriously. From his deep and firm eyes, she felt an inexplicable trust and strength. Although she knew that Xiao Chen had never fished, she firmly believed that Xiao Chen was not the kind of person who spoke without confidence.

Since he dared to agree to this competition, he must have his reasons and plans. So, Jiang Yixue nodded heavily, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Okay, since Xiao Chen said so, let's compete and see who is the real fishing master!"

Her voice was clear and loud, with a spirit of not admitting defeat, as if she was declaring to Jin Lanlan and Jiao Yulang that they would never give in easily and they were determined to win this game.

Jin Lanlan raised her lips in a self-satisfied arc, her eyes flashing with a cunning light, just like a little fox planning a mischief, and shouted excitedly: "Add a bet, so that the game will be more exciting and more interesting!"

As she spoke, she tossed her long, shiny black hair in an elegant manner. Every movement revealed her deliberate arrogance, as if she was declaring to everyone that she was fully confident of the game.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen chuckled calmly, his smile full of calmness and composure, as if all the troubles in the world could not shake him in the slightest.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and responded in a relaxed tone: "Is there such a good thing? It seems that someone has taken the initiative to give me a big gift. Well, since you are so interested, tell me, what do you want to bet on?"

His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it subtly revealed a kind of teasing towards Jin Lanlan, as if telling her that this so-called "challenge" was just an interesting game.

Jin Lanlan looked at Xiao Chen's nonchalant expression, and suddenly a nameless anger surged in her heart, but she still suppressed her emotions, still wearing a seemingly friendly smile on her face, and said: "Since this is our first meeting, let's not play too hard. Let's just gamble a little to have fun. How about betting one or two million as tea money for today? It's fun and won't hurt the relationship."

She deliberately emphasized the words "one or two million", and her eyes revealed undisguised contempt, as if implying that Xiao Chen could not come up with the money at all, and that this bet was just a unilateral charity from her.

Jiang Yixue nodded subconsciously when she heard Jin Lanlan's proposal. Just as she was about to agree, she was stopped by Xiao Chen's outstretched arm. She turned her head in confusion, looking at Xiao Chen, trying to find the answer from his expression.

"I'm really not interested in worldly money." Xiao Chen shook his head gently, his expression calm as water, but revealing an unquestionable firmness. (End of this chapter)
