My Ares Son-in-Law

Chen Jianguo felt the same way.

Although the feeling was hard to describe, it was definitely comfortable, like the handcuffs and shackles that I had always worn had been removed.

That felt so comfortable.

He was overjoyed, which meant that the talisman Xiao Chen gave him was indeed effective and could dispel the evil energy in the body.

At this moment, he no longer felt wronged for kneeling before Xiao Chen; on the contrary, he was extremely grateful that he had found Xiao Chen.

Otherwise, if Xiao Chen ignores the situation, the Chen family will likely face chaos and even ruin.

Thinking about it now makes me feel a little scared.

Chen Xue stared at Xiao Chen, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him anymore.

Women like capable men, which is not surprising.

It's normal for Chen Xue, who isn't married yet, to feel romantic feelings for the handsome and capable Xiao Chen.

Chen Jianguo was equally satisfied with Xiao Chen. He was handsome and had a calm and composed demeanor. He possessed both the aura of a strong person and a gentle nature. The more you looked at him, the more attractive he became. He was far superior to those arrogant and domineering playboys!
If a man like that could become their son-in-law, it would be an absolute blessing for the Chen family.

Unfortunately, looking at Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan, he knew that Xiao Chen was never short of women, especially beautiful ones. His daughter probably had no chance.

However, no matter what, we must maintain this relationship first. Even if we can't become family, being friends is not bad either: "Mr. Xiao, I, Chen, will remember your kindness to our Chen family for the rest of my life and never forget it."

Today was far too rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare a small gift. I wonder if you would do me the honor of coming to my home tomorrow so I can prepare a sumptuous feast to properly thank you for your great kindness?

"No need, I have other things to do and don't have time."

Xiao Chen was speechless. He was only helping him today because of his sincerity and the jade pendant, but he was still pushing his luck.

Of course, he didn't say it aloud. As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Since the other person was being so polite, he couldn't be so cold-hearted.

After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "I helped you today because you've always done good deeds and didn't want to see the Chen family suffer for nothing. You are not allowed to spread this around, and you are absolutely not allowed to reveal my identity or abilities to anyone, understand? If I find out that you've spread what happened today, you will bear the consequences."

Chen Jianguo nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will keep your instructions in mind! I will absolutely keep my mouth shut and will not let a word out! If you ever need the Chen family's help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my utmost!"

After saying that, fearing that Xiao Chen wouldn't believe him, he quickly took out a gold-embossed business card from the inside pocket of his suit. "Mr. Xiao, this is my personal business card. Please take it. Contact me anytime if you need anything. I'll be there whenever you call."

Xiao Chen casually took the business card, glanced at it indifferently, and then put it away. "I'm not worried about you or me, but it's hard to say about your son. I still hope that you can teach him a good manners when you go back, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!"

Chen Jianguo nodded, glared at Chen Shaocong who was still hanging his head, and said in a sharp tone, filled with suppressed anger: "You better remember this! From now on, in the entire western region, no matter where you see Mr. Xiao, you must greet him properly and respectfully. You are not allowed to be disrespectful in the slightest, and don't cause me any more trouble, or I'll break your legs!"

Chen Shaocong shrank back, looking aggrieved, and muttered softly, "I know, Dad. If I had known he was such a powerful master, I would never have provoked him."

That was his honest opinion. Those he had messed with before were all inferior to him, but how could he have imagined that someone like Xiao Chen would dress so simply? Sure enough, what you see with your eyes isn't always the truth. He'd better be careful in the future; if he encountered someone like that again, he'd be lucky to escape with his life.

However, Chen Shaocong also felt somewhat uncomfortable. In addition, he had already knelt down to Xiao Chen twice today. He didn't dare to provoke Xiao Chen, but he was thinking of creating some trouble for Xiao Chen, as long as it didn't involve the Chen family.

"You can go now!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.

"Mr. Xiao, you're here!" Chen Jianguo didn't dare to linger and led his son and daughter outside.

Chen Xue took a few steps, then couldn't help but turn back to look at Xiao Chen again.

She hadn't felt this way in many years. Xiao Chen was simply her Prince Charming—capable, rich, and a great fighter.

Where can you find such an outstanding man?

Chen Jianguo witnessed all of this, and only after leaving the house did he sigh: "I say, girl, you can fall for anyone, but this Mr. Xiao is really not good enough for us!"

"Sis, you can't believe it, you actually like that guy? Look at him, living with two women, he's obviously not a decent person. Don't ruin your own happiness," Chen Shaocong hurriedly advised.

It wasn't that he was doing it for his sister's sake; the main reason was that he didn't want Xiao Chen to be his brother-in-law.

If that person becomes his brother-in-law, will he still have a good life?

"Shut up!" Chen Jianguo glared at Chen Shaocong. "I know you're not happy about this, but remember this: Mr. Xiao is someone you can't afford to mess with!"

"The lives of dozens of people in our Chen family depend on him. If we anger him, the talisman will become ineffective, and the evil energy will backfire, and our Chen family will be doomed forever. Do you understand?"

Chen Shaocong shrank back: "I know, I know, I won't provoke him. But Dad, will his method really work? What if it turns out to be a waste of time?"

It's not that he wants to question it.

The thing Xiao Chen gave him was too simple. The talisman looked ordinary. He couldn't believe that such a piece of yellow paper with cinnabar could dispel the evil energy of that strange pendant.

“I believe him!” Chen Xue blurted out. “Dad, don’t worry, I know it’s impossible for us to be together. Mr. Xiao is so arrogant, how could he possibly be interested in me? But I do believe what he says, that talisman must work!”

"Sigh, when a woman is in love, her IQ drops to zero!" Chen Shaocong sighed helplessly.

"Slap!" Chen Jianguo slapped Chen Shaocong on the back of the head. "You talk too much nonsense. Don't forget that this disaster in our family was brought about by you. From now on, you should just be a good rich kid and stop thinking about going to Taobao all day long."

"I know, Dad. You've said it so many times. I definitely won't go. Just thinking about it now makes me feel nauseous. How can that thing be a human tooth?" Chen Shaocong started gagging again.

"You know that's good. Alright, get in the car, let's go home! I hope our family can get through this!" (End of Chapter)
