My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen looked at the bone whistle in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

The whistle is moon-white, with a faint glow on its surface. The spiral patterns formed by the blood-red veins are clearly visible. It is warm to the touch and faintly exudes a powerful yet restrained spiritual energy. It has no ferocity of a demon beast, but instead exudes a docile gentleness after being tamed.

Xiao Chen tried picking up the bone whistle, blowing it slightly, and a loud whistle sounded.

The temperature in the room dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, and the cold was bone-chilling, as if we had fallen into an ice cellar.

A blurry, giant wolf silhouette faintly appeared in the air.

The giant wolf was entirely black, with bushy fur, a body as large as an ox, eyes burning with eerie green flames, bared fangs, exuding a bloodthirsty ferocity, and emanating a powerful sense of oppression.

Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction and removed the bone whistle from his lips.

Then he waved his hand, and the phantom of the giant wolf slowly disappeared.

He picked up a thin black rope, threaded it through the small hole at the top of the bone whistle, and hung the whistle around his neck. This thing was quite powerful, even comparable to the flower fox ferret he summoned. It was very useful for both self-defense and scaring away enemies.

Keep it for yourself to play with first, and when you're done, give it to your wife for self-defense.

Thinking of his wife Jiang Meng, Xiao Chen felt helpless. Even the War God Alliance couldn't find out where Jiang Meng was now, and he didn't know when he would be able to see her again.

……

The next morning, Xiao Chen was awakened by a series of urgent cell phone rings.

On the phone screen, an unfamiliar local number was displayed. There was no contact name, but the ringtone was urgent and shrill, ringing over and over again without stopping.

Xiao Chen glanced at it, but didn't answer it with a blank expression, letting the ringtone echo in the living room.

The ringing lasted for a good ten seconds before finally stopping. But less than two seconds later, it started ringing again, just as urgently and shrillly. This repeated itself, ringing and stopping repeatedly, persistently irritating.

When the alarm rang for the third time, Zhou Keying, who was curled up on the sofa, was finally woken up. She groggily sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, her hair disheveled, and asked impatiently:

"Who is it? It's so noisy so early in the morning!"

"I don't know." Xiao Chen picked up his phone, his tone indifferent.

"Then answer it. It's not a good idea for it to keep ringing like this." Zhou Keying yawned, leaned back on the sofa, and her eyes were still blurry.

Xiao Chen glanced at his phone and reluctantly pressed the answer button. A noisy voice immediately came from the other end of the line: "You little bastard, you finally answered the phone!"

"Who are you, old man? Didn't you brush your teeth this early in the morning? Why are you talking so rudely?"

"I am Zhou Hao's great-aunt! The matriarch of the Zhou family in the capital!"

"Oh, then it's no wonder you took it. After all, you're not exactly known for your manners. So, what is it? I'll only give you five minutes. If you can't explain it clearly, I'm hanging up."

"If you dare hang up on me, I'll come to your house and cause trouble! Do you know what you did yesterday? You bastard, you caused my Zhou Hao to be kicked out of Wanbaoge and beaten up by that bitch Qin Xianglan. He's still in the hospital."

"Oh, congratulations! Your grandson is quite the troublemaker outside. I think it would be better if he stayed in the hospital; it would save you trouble!" Xiao Chen wasn't going to stand on ceremony with Old Mrs. Zhou. He wasn't Zhou Keying, so there was no need for him to show her any respect.

Grandma Zhou was even angrier: "What did you say? I don't care, my grand-nephew was beaten like that, you have to raise him properly, it's all because of you!"

The old man was speaking so loudly that Zhou Keying, who was sitting next to him having breakfast, heard him. She looked at Xiao Chen apologetically.

After all, the old lady from the Zhou family in the capital was someone they had hired, but now she's caused Xiao Chen so much trouble.

"And another thing! That little bitch Qin Xianglan actually dared to blacklist my Zhou family! Permanently banning everyone in the Zhou family from setting foot in Wanbaoge! Do you know how much this will affect our Zhou family's business?"

"All our channels at Wanbaoge have been cut off! Completely cut off! The foundation of our Zhou family built over decades has been destroyed by you, you little brat! It's all because of you! It's all because of you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to listen anymore. "Old man, are you done spouting nonsense? Your Zhou family deserves it. Zhou Hao is lucky he's still alive. If I were you, I wouldn't have made this call!"

"What did you say?! You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that?! Let me tell you, don't think you're so great just because Qin Xianglan is backing you up! My Zhou family has been operating in the Dragon Kingdom for thirty years, deeply rooted and with enormous power!"

"You lowly punk, driving a beat-up domestic car, living in a rented shoddy house, penniless, what right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?! Let me tell you, this isn't over! I will make you pay the price! I will make sure you never recover! Get Zhou Keying on the phone, now!"

"Idiot! You old codger, come and bite me!"

After speaking, Xiao Chen hung up the phone.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to the old woman's incessant rambling. If the old woman dared to come to the villa, Ji Yin could break her legs.

Does she really think the whole world revolves around her? She's just a self-righteous idiot.

Seeing that Xiao Chen had hung up the phone, Zhou Keying became a little anxious. She didn't know how capable Xiao Chen was and was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

"Xiao Chen, that's someone from the Zhou family in the capital. The current head of the Zhou family in the capital is her nephew. She has a very high status. If you offend her, you probably won't be able to get along well in the provincial capital in the future. Your Xunjiang Group still needs to maintain good relationships with people in the business world, and they can't tolerate people throwing tantrums."

"So what? If she wants trouble, let her come. Don't even mention the Zhou family in the capital, do you think I take the number one family in the Dragon Kingdom seriously?"

Zhou Keying sighed. She knew Xiao Chen's temper and knew he would never apologize, so she simply took out her phone and dialed his number. No matter what, she had to put this matter aside to avoid trouble later.

"Zhou Keying?"

Zhou Hao's voice instantly turned shrill, "Why are you calling? Are you here to laugh at me? Are you happy to see me get dealt with by Qin Xianglan and my Zhou family get blacklisted? You seem quite pleased to be with that Xiao Chen. Do you think I stole your invitation and deliberately had Xiao Chen frame me?"

“No.” Zhou Keying frowned, her tone becoming serious.

"I'm calling to make it clear to you that what happened yesterday has nothing to do with Xiao Chen."

You were the one who provoked Xiao Chen and his group first, you were the one who insulted them, and you even called Manager Zhang to make things difficult for them. Xiao Chen never started any trouble, and he didn't even stoop to your level.

Your being punished by the Qin family and blacklisted by Wanbaoge is entirely your own fault. Don't blame everything on Xiao Chen! (End of Chapter)
