My Ares Son-in-Law

The faint scent of mugwort from Ye Shuqin lingered at Xiao Chen's nose, and the familiar smell startled him slightly.

In a trance, he actually remembered the taste of the herbs his wife Jiang Meng boiled for him.

At that time, Jiang Meng always carefully washed and chopped various herbs, then put them into a casserole and simmered them slowly over low heat.

The rising aroma of medicine filled the entire room and also filled his heart.

And now, this familiar smell appears again, but in this unfamiliar Yun Mansion. How can he not feel emotional?
"Jiang Meng is my wife." Xiao Chen's voice was low and firm, and every word was filled with his deep affection and longing for Jiang Meng.

As soon as the words fell, the entire main hall fell into silence.

It seemed as if time had frozen at this moment, and the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

The cherries in Yun Yuyan's hand fell onto the carpet with a "thump". The bright red juice instantly spread on the snow-white carpet like a blooming blood flower.

The cherry rolled along the texture of the carpet and landed at Xiao Chen's feet.

Yun Yuyan's eyes suddenly changed, as if she was struck by lightning.

The whole person seemed to be under a spell of immobilization.

Then she suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

She moved too hastily, and the pair of high-heeled shoes on her feet made a clanking sound and hit the leg of the coffee table heavily.

There was a dull sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet living room.

Yun Yuyan didn't care about the pain in her feet.

Her hands trembled slightly as she quickly grabbed the phone beside her.

His fingers seemed to be out of control and slapped Xiao Chen frantically.

Her lips kept moving, and she murmured to herself: "Yes, yes, it's you, it's you, exactly like the person in the photo..."

The voice was so low that it was almost a whisper, but it carried an irrepressible excitement and certainty, as if confirming a treasure that had been lost and found.

Xiao Chen was confused by Yun Yuyan's sudden action.

He frowned slightly, confused, but remained polite.

Stand there quietly, waiting for the other party to explain further.

"You seem to know Jiang Meng?"

Xiao Chen keenly realized that the Yun family not only knew Jiang Meng, but also from Yun Yuyan's almost out-of-control reaction, they seemed to have a close relationship with Jiang Meng.

His eyes flickered back and forth between Yun Jingtian and Yun Yuyan, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

Yun Jingtian was sitting on the sofa beside him. When he heard Xiao Chen's question, he sighed helplessly.

He stood up slowly and walked to the window.

Looking at the bustling street scene outside the window, his eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if he was recalling a long-forgotten past.

"indeed!"

Yun Jingtian turned around and spoke in a low and slow voice.

“This Mr. Jiang once saved our family.

It was a stormy night. Our Yun family’s business encountered an unprecedented crisis. The capital chain was broken, partners withdrew their investments one after another, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Just when we were at our wit's end, Mr. Jiang showed up.

Not only did she inject capital to help us through the difficult times, she also used her connections and resources to connect us with several important projects.

It can be said that our Yun family is what it is today thanks to her."

Yun Jingtian paused for a moment, a trace of regret and self-blame flashing in his eyes.

"When that woman came to our house, we thought she was Jiang Meng. She looked a bit like Jiang Meng, and she seemed to know something about our Yun family.

Our family took great care of her and treated her like a benefactor.

I provided her with good food and drink, thought of her when anything good happened, and helped her find business opportunities everywhere, hoping to repay her "kindness."

Having said that, Yun Jingtian frowned tightly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a little.

"Until a few days ago, she suddenly called our whole family together and told us solemnly that she was not Jiang Meng.

At that moment, we couldn't believe our ears, it felt like we were slapped hard in the face.

After that, she disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

We are looking for her and trying to figure out what happened.”

Xiao Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes, which originally had a hint of expectation, now became dim.

He thought he could get news about his wife Jiang Meng in the Yun family, but he didn't expect that things would be cut off here again.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and an indescribable sense of loss and anxiety surged in his heart.

"Didn't the woman tell me where she was going? She left suddenly, there must be a reason, right?"

Xiao Chen's voice was a little low, with a hint of anxiety and unwillingness.

He stared at Yun Jingtian closely, as if trying to find a clue from his face.

Yun Jingtian frowned and recalled carefully.

“She seemed to say that if we stayed with us, we would be in danger.

At that time, her expression was very serious, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, as if something terrible was really waiting for us. "

"Danger!"

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly, and a hint of vigilance and worry flashed in his eyes.

"Is someone chasing her?"

Various possible situations quickly emerged in his mind. Could it be that Jiang Meng was also involved in some dangerous conspiracy?

"Maybe!"

Yun Jingtian spread his hands helplessly.

"Young man, I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you, but we really don't know where she went.

When she finally told us that she was not Jiang Meng, we were actually quite angry and shocked.

After all, our benefactor is Jiang Meng, not her.

We thought we were repaying a favor, but we ended up being deceived by an imposter."

The atmosphere in the living room became extremely depressing, as if an invisible haze was covering everyone.

Xiao Chen's heart was full of doubts and worries. He didn't know who the woman who pretended to be Jiang Meng was, nor did he know where Jiang Meng was now, or whether she was really in danger.

The Yun family father and son also had worried expressions on their faces. They had not expected that a farce of gratitude would lead to so many unknown troubles and dangers...

Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly, and the loose hair on his forehead cast a small shadow under the light, covering the anxious and complicated look in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head, looked straight at Yun Jingtian, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Did she mention the whereabouts of my wife?"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, carrying with it endless anticipation and anxiety.

Yun Jingtian looked at Xiao Chen deeply, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate his soul and see the worries and concerns deep in his heart.

He sighed deeply, and the sound echoed in the spacious living room, with a feeling of having experienced many vicissitudes of life. (End of this chapter)
