"The Ultimate Son-in-Law "

"Mu Chen, are you deaf? I told you to sweep the floor right now!" His mother-in-law threw the broom on the ground, waiting for him to pick it up. "My Fang family has really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry a son-in-law like you! Besides washing clothes, cooking, and living here for free, what else can you do? How can a piece of trash like you have the face to live on!" Faced with his mother-in-law He Jie's angry scolding, Mu Chen remained silent. Fang Yun, sitting to the side, watched all this coldly. She and Mu Chen had been married for three years, and it was already commonplace. "Grandpa, why did he choose such a good-for-nothing like you back then?" He Jie muttered, sitting back on the sofa. The marriage was arranged by Fang Yun's grandfather. At the wedding, the old man even told Fang Yun not to look down on Mu Chen. But three years later, he was still a good-for-nothing. After a brief silence, the doorbell suddenly rang. "Get up and open the door!" At his mother-in-law's shout, Mu Chen quickly went to open the door. He Jie also hurriedly stood up. Mu Chen opened the door, and a young man in a suit and tie appeared in the doorway, carrying various gifts. He walked straight past Mu Chen and went to He Jie behind him. He Jie also pushed Mu Chen aside, her face full of smiles. "Hello, Auntie." "Mr. Li, look at you, you came all this way, why bring so many things? Don't be so formal, come in!" Taking the gifts, He Jie glared at Mu Chen: "Go pour water for the guests!" "Xiao Yun, let me introduce you, this is Li Jianxun, I told you about him yesterday." The two were not yet divorced, but He Jie had already begun to plan Fang Yun's next move. Li Jianxun smiled: "Hello, Miss Fang, I've heard Auntie mention you before, and seeing you today, you are indeed as beautiful as an angel." "Hello." Fang Yun replied indifferently. "Mr. Li, you really know how to talk, come on, please sit down and let's talk." He Jie's attitude changed instantly when she saw Mu Chen return with a water glass. She roared, "What are you still loitering around for! Go upstairs and wash your clothes, don't embarrass me!" Watching Mu Chen's departing figure, Fang Yun was somewhat disappointed. He really was a good-for-nothing. His wife was almost stolen away, and he didn't even dare to utter a sound. "Young Master Li, you know our family's situation..." After driving Mu Chen away, He Jie regained her smile. "Auntie, I fell in love with Miss Su at first sight. As long as she's willing to accept me, I can overcome any difficulty." Li Jianxun said sincerely. "It's rare that you've taken a liking to our Xiaoyun. She's had such a hard life, stuck with that good-for-nothing. I wish I could kick him out of the house right now. If Xiaoyun really marries you, I'll be at ease." Hearing her mother's words, Fang Yun couldn't help but say, "Mom, I'm already married." "Xiaoyun, are you confused? Can that good-for-nothing be your husband? How much do you earn each month? How much does he earn? He's already disgraced the Fang family over the years. Which of our relatives isn't doing better than him? Besides, you can still get a divorce, right?" "Mom..." "I'm in charge of this. Divorce, it has to be immediate." After leaving the argument downstairs, Mu Chen received an unexpected phone call. "Dad?" This phone hadn't rung in a long time. Years ago, his father disappeared, and his uncles quickly seized all the family's assets. To survive, he agreed to marry into the Fang family, agreeing to be married into the family. He had always thought his father was dead. "Hey, my darling son, is that you? I've missed you so much! It's been so many years, haven't you thought about your old man?" Hearing that familiar voice, Mu Chen couldn't calm down. He forced himself to remain calm and replied, "So you do remember you have a son? After you left, your brothers almost killed me." "Sigh, it's my fault as your father. Back then, I was taken away by a master to cultivate Taoist arts and didn't have time to inform you. Now that I've returned, I'll make them pay!" Mu Chen pounded his head and stamped his feet. How could there be such an unreliable father in this world? "I won't be able to see you for a while. I heard you're in Jiangcheng. I happen to have a small company there. I'll transfer it to you. We'll talk about the rest when I get back." "Okay, I have something to do here, I'll hang up now." Mu Chen was already used to his unreliable father. As long as he could come back, that was enough. Not long after the call ended, the company's information was sent to Mu Chen's phone. Mu Chen glanced at it casually and decided to go to the company first. As soon as he went downstairs, he bumped into his mother-in-law. "Didn't I tell you to do the laundry upstairs?! What are you doing down here? How dare you show your face in front of Young Master Li? Aren't you ashamed? Compared to him, you're nothing!" The more He Jie liked Li Jianxun, the more she despised Mu Chen. Seeing Mu Chen, Li Jianxun's lips curled into a smile. "Auntie, why don't you let Mu Chen work for me? He shouldn't always stay at home." Seeing this, Mu Chen found it amusing. "Young Master Li, you don't need to worry about him. This good-for-nothing can't even do a security guard job properly. Going out to work would only bring shame to the Fang family. All he does is eat and sleep, he's no different from a pig. At least a pig can be sold for money, he's not worth a penny!" "It's alright, Auntie. Since you're divorced from Miss Fang, this is some compensation." There's no such thing as a useless person like Mu Chen in the world; how can his excellence be highlighted then? Mu Chen was taken aback: "When did I say I wanted a divorce?" "You really plan to live off Fang Yun forever? There's a limit to being a kept man. It's been three years, and I don't know how you still have the nerve to live in this world." Seeing that Mu Chen didn't agree to the divorce, Li Jianxun's voice gradually hardened. "Don't worry, Mr. Li, whether we get a divorce or not isn't up to this good-for-nothing. Whether he agrees or not, this divorce is final!" He Jie's attitude was firm. Li Jianxun smiled again and continued, "Mu Chen, I'm now a department manager at Zhiqu Real Estate, earning several million a year. Since you're so good at cleaning, how about I arrange a cleaning job for you? You don't need to thank me; I'm just making the most of you." Mu Chen glanced at her phone and ignored him. "I forgot, you stay at home all day, a resentful housewife. You probably don't even know what Zhiqu Real Estate is." He Jie beamed when she heard that Li Jianxun worked at Zhiqu Real Estate. “If he goes, he'll only bring shame to the company. He probably wouldn't even be fit to be a cleaner!” Fang Yun raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected Li Jianxun to actually have some ability. Anyone who could become a department manager at Zhiqu Real Estate at this age was an exceptional individual. She glanced at the composed Mu Chen beside her, wondering why there was such a vast difference between people. "Sorry, you don't need to worry about my job. I have a weak stomach; I'm just naturally good at living off women." Li Jianxun couldn't understand where this good-for-nothing's confidence came from. How could he be so comfortable living off women? "If you can't speak properly, shut up! Nobody thinks you're mute! You may not have any other skills, but your shamelessness is unmatched. Wait until Xiao Yun kicks you out of the house, then let's see if you can still laugh. Without the Fang family, you'll starve to death sooner or later!" After scolding Mu Chen, He Jie quickly looked at Li Jianxun. "Young Master Li, you're so young and already working at Zhiqu Real Estate! No wonder you're from the Li family. You've become the manager of Zhiqu Real Estate at such a young age; given time, you'll definitely join the board of directors and rise to great heights!" She couldn't afford to offend Li Jianxun because of Mu Chen. Li Jianxun was already used to the flattery around him; very few people his age could achieve such success. "Auntie, you flatter me. Although I'm not powerful yet, I swear I can definitely give Xiaoyun a good life. If she marries into our family, she won't have to work for the rest of her life. She can just stay home, grow flowers, and enjoy the scenery." Li Jianxun calmed himself down. There was no need for him to argue with such a good-for-nothing; it would be beneath him. He had plenty of ways to play him. If this guy still refused to divorce Fang Yun, he could just kill him, and no one would say anything. Mu Chen shook her head helplessly. Li Jianxun was the first person to say something like that in front of someone else's husband. Zhiqu Real Estate? Is it that powerful? Wasn't that the small company his father just transferred to him temporarily? Since you want to play, I don't mind playing along.
