My Ares Son-in-Law
Chapter 6485 Different People, Different Choices
After saying this, Shen Yushan no longer cared about his face and turned around and ran. His steps were hurried and hurried, like a hare being chased by a hunter, afraid that if he slowed down a step, he would lose his life. His robe fluttered in the wind, like a defeated flag, showing his embarrassment.
Seeing this, Sun Huowang and Jiao Yulang dared not delay for even a second. They looked at each other, with a hint of panic and helplessness in their eyes.
They knew very well that without Shen Yushan, the so-called "backer", they were really worthless in front of Xiao Chen, not even as good as an ant.
At that moment, they hurriedly followed, looking back from time to time while running, for fear that Xiao Chen would suddenly catch up with them.
Their steps were untidy and they almost tripped over stones on the roadside several times. They looked very funny and yet extremely pitiful.
When leaving, Shen Yushan seemed to suddenly remember something. He stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Jiang Zhenghao and Jiang Yixiu fiercely.
There seemed to be a raging fire in his eyes, filled with deep hatred, as if he was blaming them for standing on Xiao Chen's side and putting himself in such an embarrassing situation.
However, Jiang Yixue's face was calm, without any fear. She raised her chin slightly, and met Shen Yushan's gaze with a firm look, as if to say, come on, I, Jiang Yixue, am not a coward.
Her figure is upright, like a pine tree standing tall in the wind, exuding an innate pride.
Jiang Zhenghao's eyes flickered, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart. He knew that standing with Xiao Chen meant becoming an enemy of the Oracle Sect, which might be a disaster for the Jiang family.
However, when he thought about how Xiao Chen had saved Jiang Yixue's life and that he had already decided to stand on Xiao Chen's side, he gritted his teeth and a sense of determination surged in his heart. In the end, he still did not move his feet, and his feet stood firmly in place, like a rock rooted in the ground.
He silently said to himself that since he had decided to stand with Xiao Chen, he would not regret it. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he would accompany Xiao Chen.
Seeing that Jiang Zhenghao remained calm despite numerous crises, showing extraordinary composure and perseverance, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile secretly, and that smile was full of satisfaction.
He thought to himself that if Jiang Zhenghao couldn't even handle the crisis at hand, and was easily defeated, and his heart was so fragile that he could not withstand any blow, then there was really no need for him to waste his energy to help the patriarch of the Jiang family.
After all, in Xiao Chen's opinion, only those who are determined and capable are worthy of his help and assistance.
In fact, from the beginning, Xiao Chen had a faint affection for the Jiang family for the sake of his wife Jiang Meng. This affection was like a seed that was quietly planted. Now, Jiang Yixue and Jiang Zhenghao chose to share the hardships with him without hesitation in the difficult situation, fighting side by side with him and overcoming the difficulties together. This seed has taken root and sprouted.
In Xiao Chen's mind, since they treated him so sincerely, he only needed to use a little trickery and rely on his own abilities and wisdom to help Jiang Zhenghao regain control of the Jiang family. He could even go a step further and develop and expand the Jiang family, allowing it to gain a firm foothold in this complex and ever-changing situation and shine.
"Let's go get something to eat?" Xiao Chen raised his lips slightly, with a warm smile, and looked at Jiang Yixue and asked softly, the tone was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and comfortable. "Okay!" Jiang Yixue's eyes curved into crescents, and she smiled very sweetly, that smile was as bright as a blooming flower, it seemed that all the fatigue and haze disappeared at this moment.
Jiang Zhenghao stood aside, thinking for a moment, his eyes moving between Xiao Chen and Jiang Yixiu, and then he said, "I'll go back to the house first and not disturb you young people." His voice was steady, with a bit of the consideration and tact of an elder.
After hearing this, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and said seriously and solemnly: "I have something to discuss with the head of the Jiang family. Let's go together. Wait a moment, I'll go pack my things!" After that, he turned and walked into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Zhao Dazhi, who lived next door, busy packing his things in a panic. His movements were flustered and hurried, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him from behind.
He was seen stuffing clothes and supplies into his bag with his hands, looking at the door from time to time, as if he was afraid of any danger. After packing up, he quickly ran out.
Seeing Xiao Chen, Zhao Dazhi's face instantly showed a trace of embarrassment, as if he had done something wrong and was caught on the spot. He knew in his heart that Xiao Chen had helped him vent his anger before, but now he was afraid of the powerful force of the Oracle Sect and did not dare to continue living next door to Xiao Chen.
He lowered his head slightly, and an awkward smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if trying to ease his inner embarrassment. Then he turned around and left in a hurry without saying a word.
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Dazhi's departing back, his eyes calm. Everyone has their own choices, either out of fear or out of consideration. He had no intention of stopping this, and he could understand it.
After packing up, Xiao Chen, Jiang Zhenghao and Jiang Yixue walked towards the restaurant in Haohan Valley. When they entered the restaurant, they were a little surprised by the scene in front of them. The restaurant was much larger than they had imagined and the decoration was also very beautiful.
The restaurant is open-air. Looking up, the ceiling is covered with green plants. The vines are intertwined and lush. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow, adding a natural and comfortable atmosphere to the entire restaurant.
The three of them found a seat and sat down, ordered a few special dishes, and ordered a bottle of wine. Just as they were about to start eating, they saw two familiar figures appear at the door of the restaurant. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Zhao Chuanshen and Zhao Chunhua, brother and sister.
Mr. Zhao did not come with them. After all, Zhao Chuanshen has recovered and is no longer crazy. He is fully capable of handling affairs on behalf of the Zhao family. Mr. Zhao can finally put down his burden and enjoy his retirement.
"Mr. Xiao, you are here too!" As Zhao Chuanshen stepped into the restaurant, the aura around him suddenly stagnated, and he keenly caught Xiao Chen's unique aura.
His eyes were as fast as lightning, and he quickly turned his head to look towards the source of the breath. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Chen, Jiang Zhenghao, and Jiang Yixiu sitting around a table, eating leisurely.
A warm smile instantly bloomed on his face, like a flower blooming in spring. Holding Zhao Chunhua beside him, he strode towards Xiao Chen's direction.
"Mr. Xiao is here too. How come I didn't hear you say that before?" Zhao Chuanshen walked closer, bowed slightly, and said with a smile on his face. His smile was familiar and friendly, and his voice was clear and loud, causing some echoes in the restaurant. (End of this chapter)
