My Ares Son-in-Law

Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Chen Jianguo was actually somewhat unconvinced. Although his son was a bit stupid, he shouldn't be making stupid mistakes again and again.

He always felt that Xiao Chen was taking this opportunity to get revenge.

Of course, even though he thought this way, he couldn't say it out loud. After all, he still needed Xiao Chen's help, and he knew that much.

Xiao Chen didn't care about Chen Jianguo's thoughts. He had already done his best. If Chen Shaocong died because of his stupidity, then it wouldn't be his fault.

“I promised to help your Chen family, and I won’t go back on my word,” Xiao Chen said. “You go back first. I will do my best in this matter; I will do everything I can.”

"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Xiao! If you need anything in the future, just let us know, and we will do our best to help!" Chen Jianguo was in tears, it was hard to tell whether he was genuinely moved or just putting on an act.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I need to go exercise and buy some groceries on my way back." Xiao Chen waved his hand and continued running out the door.

Chen Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. Today's trip wasn't in vain. In any case, Xiao Chen had agreed. He had heard that Xiao Chen was a very trustworthy person, and once he made a promise, he wouldn't go back on it.

"Dad, can he really do it?" Chen Xue tugged at her father's arm and asked softly, "We've put in so much effort, what if it turns out to be useless? That would be a laughing stock!"

“I don’t know.” Chen Jianguo shook his head. “But he is our Chen family’s last hope. We can only trust him. If even he can’t solve this problem, our Chen family may really be finished.”

Chen Jianguo didn't know if Xiao Chen could do it, but Xiao Chen was quite well-known in the feng shui circle, especially because a big shot he knew trusted him a lot.

He decided to try anything, since he had no other choice.

……

After finishing his workout, Xiao Chen bought some groceries and came back.

At this moment, Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying had already gotten up and washed up. It was freezing cold outside, but the villa was warm and cozy inside.

It wasn't something like heating or air conditioning; rather, Xiao Chen had set up an array in the villa that could regulate the villa's environment.

Temperature, humidity, and air quality can all be adjusted.

This is way more powerful than air conditioning or fresh air systems.

"Xiao Chen, you're back!" Seeing Xiao Chen arrive, Yun Yuyan hurriedly came to greet him. "What delicious food did you buy? Let me see!"

"I just bought some groceries." Xiao Chen changed into slippers and walked into the living room.

Yun Yuyan carried the groceries to the kitchen, then quickly walked back and sat down on the sofa next to Xiao Chen.

"By the way, I just saw Chen Jianguo and his daughter downstairs. What did they want with you? Are they still arguing about that pendant? This family is so annoying."

Xiao Chen sighed: "It really is trouble with the pendant. That precious son of the Chen family has done something stupid again..."

Then he told Yun Yuyan what Chen Jianguo had said earlier.

Yun Yuyan was completely stunned: "Wow, this Chen Shaocong is really a jinx! Why did you agree to help them? This is reaping what you sowed. Don't get involved in these kinds of things in the future."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. They just threw money at me and gave me a bank card without a PIN!"

"A bank card? How much money? You're not short of money, so why did you accept it? Aren't you just getting yourself into trouble?" Yun Yuyan was a little confused. Xiao Chen didn't seem like the type to meddle in other people's business.

"I couldn't help it, they gave me too much, I couldn't resist and agreed. Chen Jianguo said there should be several hundred million in that card, I can use it however I want," Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"How much! Hundreds of millions?!" Yun Yuyan jumped up from the sofa. "Xiao Chen, are you crazy? How could you accept hundreds of millions from someone? If they sue you, you'll be in big trouble."

Xiao Chen smiled wryly: "Keep your voice down. Don't shout so loudly. My ears are about to go deaf."

"Sister Yuyan, I could hear you shouting from the restroom. I think it's no big deal that Xiao Chen earned his money through his own abilities and didn't die!" Zhou Keying said with a smile as she came out of the restroom.

Yun Yuyan said helplessly, "He's not some proper feng shui master. He went to help people exorcise evil spirits and even took hundreds of millions of yuan from them. If people find out, they'll definitely arrest him as a fraud!"

"Xiao Chen, I'm serious. You need to return the money to them right away. This could cause serious problems. The Chen family is a prominent family in the provincial capital. If you cheat them, they might really kill you, or even wipe out your entire family!"

"I have my measure."

"You know what's good for you! I haven't even settled the score with you for helping Sister Keying last time. You're a good person in every way, except you're too much of a troublemaker. You have to listen to me at this auction, and you're not allowed to cause any more trouble, do you hear me?" Yun Yuyan's voice grew even louder.

Xiao Chen nodded and did not argue with her.

He knew that Yun Yuyan was doing it for his own good.

Zhou Keying smiled and didn't say anything more. She knew Xiao Chen well; he would never take money recklessly. Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't matter. If Xiao Chen wanted to return the money, it would be very easy.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, as long as you listen to me. And you have to promise me you won't cause any trouble at the auction. Especially that final treasure, you absolutely cannot touch it, understand?"

Yun Yuyan couldn't help but say again.

"The grand finale treasure?" Xiao Chen's interest was piqued. "What is it?"

Yun Yuyan thought for a moment, "I'm not quite sure what it is. But I heard that this treasure has already been reserved by a master from Hong Kong. That person is called Huang Qiankun, and he is the head of the Hong Kong Feng Shui Pavilion."

"Feng Shui Pavilion?"

“Yes, it’s a very famous feng shui temple in Hong Kong.” Yun Yuyan said with a hint of awe in her voice. “Master Huang Qiankun’s blessed artifacts are particularly effective. Many wealthy people and big bosses in Hong Kong seek him out for feng shui consultations and to obtain artifacts. He flew all the way from Hong Kong to attend this auction specifically for that final treasure.”

"So, you just need to come with me and watch the excitement. Those kinds of treasures have starting bids of tens of millions. Let's just look and not think too much about it, and definitely don't try to compete. We can't beat them."

"Okay, just take a look." Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

But how could he not snatch what he wanted? Let alone Huang Qiankun, even if a Great Immortal came, he would still snatch it without hesitation.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in this final item. Generally, items from auction houses are only suitable for collecting and rarely possess any true spiritual energy.

Of course, he hoped that he was wrong and that Wanbaoge would give him a surprise.

The next morning, Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan went to Wanbaoge together. In order to attend this auction, Yun Yuyan dressed up specially, and she looked absolutely stunning.

Having seen countless beautiful women, Xiao Chen found them all quite pleasing to the eye. (End of Chapter)
