My Ares Son-in-Law

If it weren't for the aura of a powerful person emanating from Lin Zhenghao, she would almost have suspected that the person in front of her was an imposter!

Zhou Fenfang suddenly remembered something. Why was Lin Zhenghao, who had always been indifferent to the Zhou family, being so polite to Keying today?
It wasn't because of the Zhou family, nor because of Keying's birthday party.

It's because of Xiao Chen!

In other words, the relationship she had painstakingly cultivated for years was made possible entirely by this young man she had always looked down upon!

She stared intently at Xiao Chen, who stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary and refined aura, like a celestial being descended to earth.

"this--"

Zhou Keying's face also turned slightly pale.

Although she didn't know Lin Zhenghao very well, judging from her aunt's attitude and the reactions of others, he held a very important position in the martial arts world of the western region.

She had previously wondered why such an important person was being so polite to her, but now she understood that it was all because of Xiao Chen.

But she really couldn't understand how Xiao Chen did it.

She had investigated Xiao Chen's background and knew that he was just a poor boy from a remote mountain village who had come to this dazzling world, and was even a laughing stock in the upper class of the western region.

However, everything that has happened recently has been a slap in the face to everyone!

If Xiao Chen is a joke, then all the powerful families in the entire provincial capital, and even the entire western province, have become a huge joke!

The Zhou family, a prominent political force in the western region, greeted him with smiles and even risked antagonizing him!
She thought this was already unbelievable enough, but now the top expert of the Qingyang Sword Sect, a martial arts family in the western region, was actually kneeling down to him!

She couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Chen's backing by the Zhou family and the Qingyang Sword Sect meant that he already had the resources to contend with the Lü family.
So, can she fight for her own happiness?
Although the Lü family is indeed formidable, with strength far surpassing that of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Chen is only in his early twenties!

At such an age, endless possibilities lie ahead.

If she had to choose between Young Master Lü and Xiao Chen, she would choose Xiao Chen without hesitation!

At that moment, she seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness.

And beneath this dawn, stood the proud and mysterious young man—Xiao Chen!
The surrounding guests were in turmoil. These scions of prominent families and elites of high society from the western provinces were all shrewd individuals, and at this moment, they had all firmly engraved Xiao Chen's appearance in their minds.

This person is absolutely not to be offended!
Not far away, Lü Kuang of the Lü family had been watching this scene with a cold eye, his gaze gradually shifting from initial shock to sinister intent.

Because he saw a special emotion in Zhou Keying's eyes.

No one is qualified to lay a finger on the woman that Young Master Lü has set his sights on!
Moreover, in his view, Lin Zhenghao's decision to stand up against him was clearly because of this young man surnamed Xiao!
"The Qingyang Sword Sect is actually courting death for such a mere brat! I'd like to see just how powerful this kid is!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen, as the focus of everyone's attention, naturally felt countless gazes upon him. He looked down at Lin Zhenghao and shook his head helplessly.

What's this guy up to? Why all the fuss?

Today is Ke Ying's birthday, but his actions have made him steal the spotlight from the birthday girl.

"Get up," Xiao Chen said calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao!"

Lin Zhenghao stood up in response, still bowing slightly, maintaining utmost respect for Xiao Chen.

He knew perfectly well that the young man before him had already placed a restriction on him, which could decide his life or death with just a thought.

Xiao Chen ignored Lin Zhenghao and walked straight to Zhou Keying, a gentle smile appearing on his lips, and the aura of superiority around him instantly dissipated.

"Keying, happy birthday! I'm late, you won't be mad at me, will you?" Zhou Keying finally snapped out of her daze, her cheeks flushed, and she pretended to be angry, saying, "Mad! Of course I'm mad! If you don't give me a satisfactory gift today, hmph, I'll be very angry, and the consequences will be severe~"

Xiao Chen patted his suit pocket lightly and said confidently, "If I told you that to you, the entire Dragon Kingdom is not as precious as what's in my pocket, would you believe me?"

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the air!

This kid is such a braggart!

What rare treasures can you put in a suit pocket?
How dare they boast that the treasures of the entire Dragon Kingdom cannot compare! They are utterly ignorant of their own limitations!
Which of the guests who attended Zhou Keying's birthday banquet wasn't someone of high status and immense wealth?
Almost everyone prepared a valuable gift for Zhou Keying.

Xiao Chen's arrogant words immediately displeased everyone. If they weren't wary of Lin Zhenghao, they would have already had this ignorant brat thrown out!

Zhou Fenfang gave Xiao Chen a cold glance. Although she didn't understand why Lin Zhenghao was so respectful to this person, she still didn't like Xiao Chen. She immediately said, "Young man, it's better to be humble. What you see as a treasure may be worthless to others..."

"Keying, it's almost time. It's your turn to go on stage, you birthday girl."

After saying that, Zhou Fenfang pulled Zhou Keying toward the stage set up in the center of the banquet hall.

Zhou Keying turned around and looked at her, her bright eyes filled with a smile, and said softly, "I believe you."

……

Zhou Keying went to prepare the birthday banquet schedule, and it wouldn't start for a few more minutes. Xiao Chen then decided to go find Yun Yuyan.

Lin Zhenghao followed closely behind.

Xiao Chen glanced at him and ordered, "Don't follow me."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Chen finally found Yun Yuyan in the crowd. At that moment, she was surrounded by several well-dressed young men from prominent families, who were obviously trying to flirt with her.

The banquet hall was filled with beautiful women, including many popular actresses, but in terms of looks, Yun Yuyan could definitely be ranked in the top three.

What's even more attractive is her shapely figure.

At this moment, Yun Yuyan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly showing her displeasure. This group of people was like flies that she couldn't get rid of, buzzing around her ears.

If it weren't for the fact that this was Ke Ying's birthday party, she would have already lost her temper.

A young man in an Armani suit raised his wine glass and smiled with feigned elegance, "Miss Yun, why be so cold? It's just making friends. My father is the chairman of a large corporation, and the Zhou family has a long-standing relationship with us..."

Another man wearing a Patek Philippe retorted, "If Miss Yun is willing, I can arrange a private yacht to take you for a ride on the open sea tomorrow."

Yun Yuyan suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Her gaze kept glancing towards the door, as if searching for something. When she saw Xiao Chen's figure, her beautiful eyes lit up immediately.

"Excuse me." She pushed aside the two people blocking her way and walked quickly toward Xiao Chen.

Upon seeing this, the faces of those scions of prominent families immediately turned grim. They looked in the direction Yun Yuyan was pointing, and when they recognized Xiao Chen, their expressions tightened.

The scene of Lin Zhenghao kneeling before Xiao Chen was still fresh in their minds; how could they dare to act recklessly again? (End of Chapter)
