My Ares Son-in-Law

In the bustling Dongcheng, there are all kinds of restaurants. Among them is a very distinctive restaurant with elegant decoration, neatly arranged wooden tables and chairs, several exquisite art paintings hanging on the walls, and soft lights in every corner, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Jiang Yixue walked into the restaurant with light steps. She was graceful and elegant, and the light blue dress she wore made her look gentle and charming. When she came to the front desk to ask if there was any Huoyun wine, the waiter told her with a little surprise that there was only one bottle left. Hearing this, Jiang Yixue's eyes flashed with joy, and she ordered the bottle of wine without hesitation.

She turned and walked towards Xiao Chen who was sitting nearby waiting, with an expression that was both somewhat relieved and somewhat apologetic on her face. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Fortunately you came at the right time, otherwise I would have missed out on this feast. It's a pity that there is only one bottle left, and I can't drink much." Her voice was soft and pleasant, as if carrying a hint of regret.

Xiao Chen smiled, his eyes gentle and bright. He waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, this wine is for tasting. If you want to drink it as a meal, it's not necessary." His smile revealed a casualness and unrestrainedness, as if he didn't care about the amount of wine.

Later, the two were led by the waiter to book a warm and elegant private room. The room was very delicately decorated, with a round dining table in the center, and exquisite tableware and a bunch of beautiful flowers on the table. They sat in comfortable chairs, quietly waiting for the dishes to be served, with a faint sense of expectation in the air.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again, and another couple came to the counter. The man looked to be in his thirties, tall and straight, standing there like a pine tree. He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, as if he had an aura that could not be ignored.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is an indescribable arrogance in his eyes, and he seems to be somewhat disdainful of everything around him.

He was wearing a set of exquisitely tailored designer clothes, from the expensive suit to the shiny leather shoes, all of which showed his luxury and wealth. One could tell at a glance that he came from a wealthy family, and in this prosperous place of East City, his status was definitely extraordinary, and his every move exuded an innate sense of superiority.

The woman holding his arm was very young, and looked to be in her twenties. She had a delicate and slender figure, like a flower about to bloom, exuding the vitality of youth.

She was beautiful, with fair skin as delicate as mutton-fat jade, a pair of bright big eyes like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and a slightly pouting cherry mouth under her high nose bridge. In terms of appearance alone, she was not inferior to women like Jiang Yixiu and Sophie.

At this moment, she held the man's arm tightly, leaning slightly towards him, and her attitude was extremely intimate. From their behavior and demeanor, it was not difficult to see that they were either relatives or lovers.

The man raised his chin slightly, looked at the restaurant manager with a slightly arrogant look, and asked with a tone that left no room for doubt: "Do you have any more Fire Cloud Wine?" His voice was low and magnetic, but it also revealed a sense of condescension.

The manager smiled bitterly, bent down slightly, and said respectfully, "Young Master Sun, you came at an unfortunate time. Someone just ordered the last bottle of Huoyun wine..." The manager's tone was full of helplessness, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he was very afraid of Young Master Sun. Hearing this, Sun Huowang frowned tightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He asked coldly, "Do you know who ordered it?" There was a hint of questioning in his voice, as if he was determined to get this last bottle of wine.

The manager rubbed his hands in embarrassment, with an awkward smile on his face: "Well... I only know the other party's private room, but I don't really know who the other party is. How about I ask someone to check it out?" As the manager spoke, he carefully observed Sun Huowang's expression, fearing that he would accidentally annoy this old man.

Sun Huowang waved his hands impatiently and said with a hint of disdain in his tone: "No need, just tell me the private room and I'll go find it directly. It won't be difficult for you." After that, he pulled the woman beside him and prepared to walk towards the private room pointed by the manager, with an attitude as if he was determined to get the last bottle of Huoyun wine.

The manager was obviously relieved, and his back, which was slightly hunched due to nervousness, straightened up a little. He looked at Sun Huowang's gradually receding back, his eyes intertwined with relief, worry and a hint of helplessness, which seemed quite complicated.

Sun Huowang was notoriously difficult to mess with in East City. He was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and would fly into a rage if things didn't go his way. He was very lucky that he could let him go so easily today. Of course, he knew who ordered the Huoyun wine. With his many years of experience and connections in this restaurant, how could he not know?

However, he knew very well that he was just an insignificant little person, as small as an ant in this complicated family struggle. If he got involved, he might be crushed to pieces if he was not careful.

Therefore, letting Sun Huowang handle the matter directly is undoubtedly the best option. As long as he stays out of it, he can keep his job and avoid unnecessary trouble.

At the same time, in the warm and elegant private room, soft lights shone on Xiao Chen and Jiang Yixue. The two of them drank tea with a faint fragrance leisurely while chatting attentively about the situation in Haidong.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone: "The situation in Haidong has been a little unstable recently, we have to pay close attention." Jiang Yixiu nodded lightly, her eyes revealing thought: "Yes, the development of Haidong is crucial to our next plan, and we can't be careless at all." The two of them talked back and forth, the atmosphere was harmonious and serious.

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open without warning. With the sound of footsteps, a man and a woman walked in from outside. They were Sun Huowang and his female companion. The female companion seemed to be startled by the abrupt way of opening the door. She showed a trace of panic on her face, but soon regained her composure and held Sun Huowang's arm tightly.

To be honest, this kind of behavior of breaking into someone else's private room without knocking is extremely impolite in any situation, and can even be considered an offense. However, in Sun Huowang's opinion, he usually calls the shots in East City, and not kicking the door open directly is already a great honor for the other party. He has always been so arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take these so-called etiquette seriously at all. (End of this chapter)
