My Ares Son-in-Law

Chen Huan's palms were sweating with nervousness, his mind racing, and he could only make wild guesses:

"Oh dear, Dad! Could it be that the new chairman of Dansheng Group is trying to clean house and reorganize the partners as soon as he takes office?"

“Very likely!” Mr. Chen suddenly realized, his tone tinged with regret. “The new chairman has just taken over, and I was just thinking of finding a way to pay him a visit, but I’ve mentioned it to Shen Yingying several times, and she keeps saying that their chairman doesn’t see any outsiders!”

Holding his phone, Chen Huan listened to his father's anxious and helpless voice, feeling a chill in his heart. A strong sense of unease, like a dark cloud, completely enveloped him.

He had a vague premonition that the sudden disaster that had befallen the Chen family was probably not as simple as "cleaning up the house."

And the source of all this is very likely to be inextricably linked to the person he looked down on the most and disregarded the most... Xiao Chen.

Suppressing his panic, Chen Huanqiang urgently asked the person on the other end of the phone, "What do we do now? If this continues, our family will be completely ruined!"

His father was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then, as if he had suddenly thought of something crucial, his voice rose several decibels:
"By the way! I just heard from people in the industry that the Zhou family is having an important banquet tomorrow night, and they've supposedly invited the new chairman of Dansheng Group!"

"My son and I will go together tomorrow. We must find a way to meet that chairman, no matter what, to apologize and beg for leniency in person! If we can get him to show mercy, there's still hope for the Chen family!"

"Okay!" Chen Huan blurted out, agreeing immediately. "No problem, Dad! We'll go together tomorrow! I refuse to believe that with all the connections and resources our Chen family has accumulated over the years, we can't find a way to survive!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Huan slammed his fist against the wall, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

He stared intently out the window, cursing Xiao Chen and Zhou Keying a thousand times in his mind, and secretly vowed that as long as he could get through this crisis, he would make those two pay a heavy price!

……

The next day, in the evening.

The Zhou family ushered in the most glorious and dazzling moment in its history.

The entire family, from top to bottom, beamed with excitement and pride, bustling about joyfully.

After a night of frenzied buzz, the news that the Zhou family had successfully secured a 10 billion yuan cooperation deal with Dansheng Group and had personally invited the chairman of Dansheng Group to a family banquet had spread like wildfire throughout the city's high society circles.

Those families who once looked down on the Zhou family and thought they couldn't climb the social ladder are now filled with envy and are trying every means to attend this banquet and become familiar with the family.

Xiao Chen specially dug out his most presentable dark suit to wear for this banquet.

This suit may look ordinary, but it was actually custom-made by a world-class designer. The fabric is rare, the tailoring is superb, and it exudes an indescribable air of luxury in its understated elegance.

After quickly tidying up, he drove to the Chaotianque Hotel, where the banquet was being held.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the hotel, Xiao Chen got out.

Just then, a screeching sound of tires rang out, and a brand-new Porsche Panamera braked suddenly, blocking his path.

The car door opened, and Chen Huan, dressed in a sharp designer suit, with his hair slicked back and heavily sprayed with hair gel, stepped out of the car with an air of arrogance.

The reception staff, who had been waiting nearby, immediately greeted Mr. Chen Huan, the owner of the Chen family, with beaming smiles, saying, "Mr. Chen, you've finally arrived! Please come in, please come in!"

Chen Huan's gaze swept across the room, naturally spotting Xiao Chen not far away. A flash of contempt and disdain crossed his eyes as he slowly walked forward, sizing Xiao Chen up and down, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Hey, isn't this Xiao the good-for-nothing? Where did you find that knock-off suit? Dressed up like a proper gentleman, what, trying to sneak into the banquet and make a scene?"

Xiao Chen remained calm, not even giving him a second glance, and said indifferently, "What I wear is none of your business."

Chen Huan curled his lip, his sarcasm deepening, and deliberately dragged out his words, his tone ambiguous: "You are none of my business, but your girlfriend Zhou Keying... well, now, she has something to do with me."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his eyes turning cold: "What's your relationship?"

His question caused the guests who were passing by or preparing to enter to stop and look over curiously.

Since last night, a vulgar rumor has been quietly circulating in high society circles.

Rumors say that Zhou Keying was able to secure a lucrative contract from Dansheng Group not because of her own abilities, but because she slept with Chen Huan and obtained the resources by selling her body.

Otherwise, given her and the Zhou family's past influence, how could she have caught the eye of the Dansheng Group?
Seeing Chen Huan's confident and smug attitude, the onlookers secretly murmured to themselves:
It seems this is most likely true.

Seeing the growing crowd, Chen Huan became even more smug. He adopted a confident air, looking down at Xiao Chen, and slowly asked:
"Do you really think that Zhou Keying, a woman, with the Zhou family's meager resources, could secure the contract from Dansheng Group? What do you think she relied on?"

Xiao Chen looked at him calmly, her voice devoid of any emotion, coldly uttering two words: "Rely on what?"

Chen Huan's lips curled into a frivolous and smug smile. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone around to hear clearly:
"Of course it's because of me! Because Zhou Keying is now my person, that's why I did everything I could to help her secure the Dansheng Group project."

He paused, his gaze sweeping contemptuously over Xiao Chen, his tone carrying an arrogant, condescending air:

"If you're smart enough, break up with her as soon as possible; it'll be a good thing for you. Otherwise, you'll be the one who ends up making a fool of yourself."

Although the people around had heard the rumors before, they were still shocked to hear Chen Huan say it out loud, and an uproar ensued.

It turns out that Zhou Keying was able to take over Dansheng Group by sleeping with Chen Huan!
This Xiao Chen is so pitiful! He was cheated on and then publicly humiliated!
"Rely on you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was not angry at all; instead, he chuckled softly.

The laughter was flat, yet carried an extreme contempt, as if looking at a clown.

He spoke casually, his disdain undisguised:

"You think you're worthy?"

"I'm not good enough? Do you think someone like you is?"

Chen Huan seemed to have been hit where it hurt; his eyes instantly turned cold, and his tone became extremely sarcastic.

"Who do you think you are? A good-for-nothing, gigolo! You can't even keep your own girlfriend. Zhou Keying is truly wronged by being with you!" (End of Chapter)
