My Ares Son-in-Law

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later, Zhou Hao's voice rang out again, "Zhou Keying, are you out of your mind?! You're actually taking that little punk's side? Have you been bewitched by him? Let me tell you, this isn't over!"

"I've been in the Western Region for so long, and I've never suffered such humiliation! I will definitely get my revenge! I'll not only teach that little punk a lesson, but I'll also make you pay the price, you two scoundrels!"

"You deserve it, you're not miserable enough!" Zhou Keying was so angry that she hung up the phone.

She had originally intended to say a few words of comfort to Zhou Hao, but she didn't expect that this guy would bite the hand that feeds him and not appreciate her kindness, and even started cursing at her?
Who goes there?!

Zhou Keying said indignantly, "She started the trouble first, and when she got slapped in the face, she blamed others and even said hurtful things! And that old lady Zhou, she's so old, but she doesn't listen to reason at all and just started cursing. It's really too much!"

Seeing her puffed-up face, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "A well-behaved girl can be quite scary when she gets angry!"

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Keying pouted. "I'm not speaking up for you, I'm just stating the facts! That Zhou Hao is like a lunatic, acting like everyone in the world has offended him. What's wrong with him!"

"I was just laughing at how cute you are." Xiao Chen stood up and smiled. "I just thought it was quite amusing how you spoke up for me just now. You usually have a pretty good temper, so you must have been completely provoked today."

As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen: "Since you spoke up for me today, I'll make breakfast for you and Yu Yan!"

Zhou Keying blushed: "Who, who spoke up for you! I just can't stand their unreasonable behavior! Don't overthink it."

"Hmm, I wasn't thinking about it much," Xiao Chen's voice came from the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast?"

Zhou Keying looked up and thought for a moment: "Fried eggs! Two! Soft-boiled! And...and a cup of hot milk!"

"Alright, I see you and Yu Yan have similar tastes, so I'll make the same thing for you both."

Xiao Chen's voice came through; he had already started cooking.

Yun Yuyan yawned and came out: "Keying, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine, I just got a little angry." Zhou Keying quickly changed the subject and told Yun Yuyan what had just happened.

"Holy crap, how can there be such a shameless guy in this world!" Yun Yuyan was also stunned.

It's clearly Zhou Hao's fault, so why is he turning around and blaming him?

……

After breakfast, Zhou Keying went to work. Yun Yuyan had nothing to do today, so she stayed home to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

Xiao Chen then went into the cultivation room to cultivate.

There was no other way; the spiritual energy in the mortal world was insufficient, so he could only rely on spirit stones to cultivate. He dared not interrupt his practice, otherwise, having stayed in the mortal world for so long, others would probably have surpassed him in cultivation level.

Around ten o'clock, the doorbell rang.

Yun Yuyan wiped her hands on her apron, looked at the surveillance footage, and discovered that the person standing outside was a strange middle-aged man.

The man was dressed very formally, in a suit and tie, and looked like a capable person; he was probably a senior executive at a company.

Behind the man stood several bodyguards dressed in black, each carrying something in their hands. It was unclear what it was, but the packaging was exquisite and looked anything but ordinary.

"Who are you looking for?" Yun Yuyan asked into the microphone.

Xiao Chen was cultivating, and being a woman, she was still a little afraid, so she didn't dare to open the door directly. The middle-aged man bowed to the camera: "Hello, is this Mr. Xiao Chen's home? We are here to see him. Please open the door."

"First, tell me who you are and what you want with Xiao Chen? There are very skilled bodyguards here. If you cause any trouble, you'll be in big trouble!"

The main problem was that those bodyguards in black were a bit intimidating, which inevitably made people think all sorts of things.

The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. Let me introduce myself. I'm from Wanbaoge, and I'm the newly appointed manager of Wanbaoge by Miss Qin, taking over Zhang Que's position. My name is Zhou Zhengqing. You must be Miss Yun. I've come here specifically to apologize, and I have absolutely no malicious intent!"

Hearing this, Yun Yuyan cautiously opened the door.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to come in, but instead handed his business card to Yun Yuyan.

Yun Yuyan looked at the dishes and smiled, "Oh, I see. Come in, you startled me. You brought several bodyguards with you. I thought you were here to cause trouble!"

Zhou Zhengqing said awkwardly, "Miss Qin felt deeply remorseful about what happened yesterday. She dealt with the responsible parties immediately, suspended the auction on the spot, and reorganized all the employees of Wanbaoge. Today, she sent me to visit you with a small gift to apologize and hope to gain your understanding."

"This is a small token of Miss Qin's appreciation. Please accept it, Mr. Xiao and Miss Yun."

Yun Yuyan looked at the gifts, somewhat bewildered.

Qin Xianglan is really respectful. Didn't she just send some spiritual bone yesterday? Today she sent someone to apologize and even brought a gift.

"Bring the things in! But Xiao Chen is still cultivating, so whether he accepts your gifts or not is not up to me. We'll have to wait until he finishes his cultivation!"

"Of course, we'll wait here," Zhou Zhengqing said hastily.

He dared not disturb Xiao Chen's cultivation; otherwise, it would be a grave offense, and he would be skinned alive by Qin Xianglan when he returned.

I never expected that this wait would last a full hour.

The door to the cultivation room opened, and Xiao Chen walked out, nodding as he looked at Zhou Zhengqing standing outside.

"I asked them to sit down, but they refused and insisted on standing, saying it was out of respect for you. I really don't understand what people are thinking these days," Yun Yuyan said helplessly.

"Qin Xianglan sent you here?"

Xiao Chen didn't respond to Qin Xianglan's words, but instead glanced at Zhou Zhengqing and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao. Miss Qin originally intended to visit you in person to apologize, but considering that yesterday's events had already disturbed your peace, she decided not to bother you any further and therefore asked me to come on her behalf to express her apologies and sincerity."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can leave now, just put your things down."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.

"Yes! Here is also an invitation and a black card, which Miss Qin specifically entrusted me to give to you! This is the invitation to the auction that will be held again the day after tomorrow, as well as the Wanbaoge Royal VIP Card. Miss Qin instructed me to give them to you both together."

Yun Yuyan reached out and accepted the invitation, delighted with it, but she didn't have much interest in the black card.

After all, her biggest dream right now is to be able to participate in a Wanbaoge auction with dignity.

"Miss Qin, you're very generous! Tell her there's no need for that; let's just consider that matter over and done with!" (End of Chapter)
