My Ares Son-in-Law

Then, Sun Huowang seemed to suddenly remember something, and reached out to pull over his female companion. The smile on his face remained, but there was a little more unquestionable in his eyes: "Let's go, don't disturb Miss Jiang and Mr. Xiao's meal. It's our bad luck that we can't drink Huoyun wine today."

The woman seemed to want to say something. She opened her mouth slightly and was about to make a sound, but was glared back by Sun Huowang with a cold look.

That look was like a sharp cold wind, which made the woman feel chilled instantly. The words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. She could only give up obediently. A look of grievance appeared on her face, but she did not dare to resist.

With a light "click", the door of the private room closed again, isolating the noise and disturbance outside. The door was like a barrier, temporarily blocking out the unpleasantness that had just happened.

Xiao Chen still sat there steadily, drinking tea leisurely. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, as if Sun Huowang's intrusion just now was just an insignificant episode and nothing had happened.

The steam rising from the teacup blurred his face, but it could not conceal the calm aura emanating from him.

However, Jiang Yixue looked worried. She frowned slightly, her eyes were full of worry, and she bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was worried about the upcoming trouble.

She looked at Xiao Chen, her tone carrying a hint of concern and uneasiness: "Xiao Chen, there's actually no need to get into a fight with Sun Huowang. This guy is always vindictive and treacherous. In East City, I don't know how many people have suffered because of offending him. We don't need to cause ourselves unnecessary trouble for such a small matter."

Xiao Chen shook his head gently, his eyes firm and bright, revealing an unquestionable determination: "It doesn't matter, I don't like his arrogant and domineering attitude. What's more, you should also know that the relationship between the Sun family and the Amei Group is intricate and complicated.

They were able to rise rapidly in just a few years, and a large part of the reason was the unremitting support of the Amei Group behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could the Sun family, which was ranked last among the eight powerful families in the past, become the top four now? They are just a pawn of the Amei Group in Dongcheng. "

He paused for a moment, his eyes becoming more profound, as if he was thinking about a longer-term plan: "I want to deal with the Amei Group, and the Sun family will definitely not stand by me to help me. In the long run, we will become enemies after all. In this case, why bother about this temporary conflict? Some conflicts will erupt sooner or later, so it is better to make our stance clear now."

Jiang Yixue sighed helplessly after hearing what Xiao Chen said, and shook her head gently: "Forget it, as long as you know what's going on, you won't be afraid. Maybe I'm thinking too much, why should I worry about it here? Since you have made a decision, I will support you."

After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and the waiter came in with a dining cart. Exquisite dishes were placed on the table one by one, with good color, aroma and taste, which made people's appetite increase. At the same time, the bottle of precious Huoyun wine was also carefully brought up. The mellow aroma of the wine instantly filled the entire private room, adding a bit of relaxation and joy to the slightly tense atmosphere.

The two began to enjoy the food, and the conversation gradually became relaxed. While tasting the delicious food, they shared each other's interesting life stories, as if the unpleasantness just now had been thrown away. In the warm atmosphere, after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they stood up and prepared to leave.

They walked out of the private room together and came to the door of the restaurant. Jiang Yixue and Xiao Chen said goodbye to each other and then walked in different directions. After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Chen went to the pharmaceutical factory as usual. Now that Su Fei had returned to Tianhai, the huge pharmaceutical factory lost its backbone, and Xiao Chen felt that he had the responsibility to take care of the factory for Su Fei.

He strolled through the various workshops of the pharmaceutical factory, carefully checked the production process, talked with the workers, and learned about the production progress and problems encountered. Seeing the workers busy in an orderly manner and the machines running in an orderly manner, Xiao Chen felt a little relieved, at least the operation of the pharmaceutical factory was still stable.

Then, he returned to the clinic. In the past, Xie Xuan, a nurse at the clinic, always arrived early, warmly greeted every patient, and assisted the doctors in their work. However, today, Xiao Chen did not see her familiar figure.

"Xie Xuan asked for leave?" As the person in charge of the clinic, Xiao Chen felt it necessary to ask about the situation. He looked at the doctor who was sorting out the medical records, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

"No!" The doctor stopped what he was doing, raised his head and shook it, with a worried look on his face. "But I heard that something happened to Xie Xuan's family. It must be something serious that made her unable to even ask for leave. After all, this girl has always cherished this job. She is usually serious and responsible at work and has never been absent from work without reason."

"Do you know where her home is? I'll go check it out." Xiao Chen said without thinking. In his heart, every employee of the clinic is like his family. He can't just sit back and watch when his family is in trouble.

"You are such a kind person." The doctor said with a smile, then quickly turned around and skillfully searched for Xie Xuan's residence information on the computer. "Xie Xuan is not an easy child. If you can go and see her, maybe you can help."

"After all, they work for me, so I have to take care of them, right?" Xiao Chen smiled, with a hint of gentleness and determination. He walked to the doctor, glanced at the information displayed on the computer, memorized the address, and then turned and left the clinic.

Following the directions of the address, Xiao Chen came to Xie Xuan's home. It was a well-known shantytown in Dongcheng. As soon as he stepped into this area, he could feel the atmosphere that was completely different from the surrounding bustling streets. On both sides of the narrow street were old houses of varying sizes, with mottled walls, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

There are all kinds of people here. On the streets, there are shabby idlers wandering around with malicious eyes; there are also some small vendors who barely set up stalls on the street, selling some cheap daily necessities. The air is filled with a variety of complex smells, including the smell of rotten food and the stench of garbage.

Although the urbanization process has been advancing for so many years, other parts of Dongcheng have developed extremely rapidly, with high-rise buildings standing side by side and commercial centers bustling with activity.

However, due to its special location in the city center, the demolition price was too high. After weighing the pros and cons, the developers have been unable to properly plan and renovate the area, so this shantytown has been left. (End of this chapter)
