My Ares Son-in-Law

Zhou Keying was originally paying close attention to the situation on the field.

When she inadvertently noticed the strange atmosphere around her, her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly turned her head, her gaze urgently fixed on Xiao Chen beside her.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

The man stood there steadily the whole time.

His expression remained completely unchanged, as calm as a deep, ancient well, without a single ripple.

Just now, Wang Li, a prominent figure in the business world whose every move can shake the industry, slowly stepped out of the car surrounded by a crowd.

The scene exploded instantly.

The crowd cast glances of awe, flattery, or excitement, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.

But Xiao Chen's eyes remained calm and still.

There wasn't even a ripple when that important person got out of the car.

It was as if everything happening before his eyes had nothing to do with him; he was completely an uninvolved bystander.

Standing there quietly, it seemed as if it were isolated from the noisy world around it.

Seeing Xiao Chen's calm and composed demeanor, Zhou Keying felt both anxious and angry, almost to the point of madness.

Doesn't this guy know what surprise is?
No matter how confident or composed you are on a daily basis, shouldn't you at least show some basic courtesy and respect when someone of Wang Li's stature personally attends?
This was no ordinary occasion; Wang Li's appearance was enough to elevate the entire event to a whole new level.

But Xiao Chen acted as if nothing was wrong, which made her anxious.

She could no longer care about anything else; the urgent emotions in her heart were like a flood breaking through a dam, prompting her to quietly extend her slender hand.

Those hands, fair and slender, now carried a hint of barely perceptible tension as they lightly poked Xiao Chen's soft waist.

This poke carried her deepest doubts and urgency, as if she wanted to convey all her emotions to Xiao Chen through this action.

Immediately afterwards, she leaned slightly closer to Xiao Chen and asked urgently in an incredulous tone, barely audible to the two of them, "You... how do you know Wang Li?!"

"Why did he come?!"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion as she stared intently at Xiao Chen.

It was as if they wanted to find the answer in his face.

Xiao Chen seemed to have been pulled back from his thoughts by her series of actions.

He glanced at Zhou Keying with a somewhat bewildered look.

There was a lingering sense of disorientation in his eyes, as if he had just been wandering in another world.

Then, he shrugged nonchalantly, the movement casual and natural, as if none of it mattered.

His tone was as flat as if he were discussing the nice weather, and he casually remarked, "Oh, him."

"His name is Wang Li."

“I ran into him somewhere last time. We barely exchanged a few words when he seemed to have a bad temper and almost got into a fight with me.”

Zhou Keying was still reeling from the shocking words she had just heard.

When Xiao Chen's casual words, as if he were talking about something trivial, reached her ears, she felt a sudden dizziness and her delicate body trembled violently.

It was as if she had been struck by an invisible thunderbolt. She turned her head abruptly, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Chen.

Those once clear and bright eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea, suddenly widened into tiny, round eyes.

The whites of his eyes were faintly bloodshot, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Her eyes held a mixture of shock, confusion, and a hint of barely concealed anger.

It's like watching a patient who has suddenly gone mad, or a reckless brute who is completely ignorant of the immensity of the world and acts recklessly!

She looked as if Xiao Chen had just told an absurd joke that was enough to overturn her entire cognitive system.

She even subconsciously wanted to reach out and gently touch Xiao Chen's forehead.

It was as if they were trying to confirm whether he was delirious due to a fever through this method.

In her subconscious, only a high fever causing delirium could make someone utter such absurd and illogical words.

Is Wang Li short-tempered?

That's more than just a bad temper!

In the complex and turbulent power circles of the entire western region, everyone knows that Wang Li, this bigwig, is a notorious "powder keg."

His temper is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment; it's ready to ignite at any moment.

Once his thunderous rage erupts, its power is enough to silence everyone in the entire conference room, making them afraid to even breathe.

His stubborn and domineering personality seemed to be ingrained in his very bones.

One can clearly feel the unquestionable authority and oppressive aura emanating from his every move and word.

Even a casual glance from him on ordinary days can make people around him unconsciously lower their heads and dare not meet his eyes.

His every decision was like a royal decree, wielding significant influence in the business and political spheres of the western region.

No one dared to disobey easily.

But this guy in front of me, Xiao Chen, actually shamelessly claimed that he had a conflict with Wang Li and that they "almost got into a fight"?
This is absolutely ridiculous, the most absurd and outrageous joke of the year!
What an international joke!
Throughout the entire western region, even the most powerful and influential regional officials, despite their high positions and authority, had to act cautiously when facing Wang Li, trying their best not to provoke him.

From the wealthy and powerful business tycoons who wield immense influence in the market, they are well aware of Wang Li's power and methods, and dare not offend him in the slightest.

Who would dare to actually fight Wang Li?

That goes beyond mere commendable courage; it was an act of utter suicide!

Is it that they feel their lives are too long and want to end this short life early, or do they feel that the family business is too stable and needs some stimulation to break the seemingly calm but actually crisis-ridden situation?
However, Xiao Chen was not surprised at all; his expression was as calm as a still lake.

He had his own confidence and justification deep down, because he stepped forward at a critical moment and saved the life of Wang Li's father, Wang Kun.

This kindness was undoubtedly of paramount importance to Wang Li, who valued loyalty and righteousness.

In Xiao Chen's opinion, if Wang Li didn't come to show his support today, he would be an ungrateful person.

They are simply not fit to stand on the power stage of the western region.

Xiao Chen was standing there calmly.

His gaze swept casually across the bustling crowd and landed on Zhou Fenfang not far away.

Zhou Fenfang, a woman who was always impeccably made up, elegant in demeanor, and with an air of haughty superiority in her eyes, was now as if frozen in place, almost completely petrified. (End of Chapter)
