Supreme Dragon Son-in-law

Presenting Attentiveness

Everyone returned to the banquet hall, and the elderly lady took Xiao Churan's hand, leading her to the stage.

She displayed an affectionate gesture and apologized, saying, "I'm truly sorry for the confusion earlier. It was my mistake as an old fool. In reality, we owe a great deal to Churan; she is an outstanding descendant of our Xiao family. The success of the collaboration between the Xiao family and Dihao is also thanks to Churan's remarkable efforts."

Wang Dongxue, standing beside her, cast a disdainful glance and interrupted, waving her hand dismissively. She asserted, "Allow me to correct you. In this collaboration, Miss Xiao Churan not only contributed significantly but also orchestrated it entirely on her own, independent of anyone else."

Though her tone was impolite, everyone was accustomed to it. Given her authoritative status, Mrs. Xiao wouldn't dare to object even if Wang Dongxue openly criticized her.

Mrs. Xiao nodded quickly and conceded, "Vice-Director Wang is correct; everything is thanks to Churan. Henceforth, Churan will be the director of our Xiao family, fully responsible for the collaboration with the Dihao Group."

Wang Dongxue then smiled, shook hands with Xiao Churan, and said, "I look forward to a fruitful collaboration in the future."

Xiao Churan, still somewhat bewildered, could only nod in response.

The audience erupted into thunderous applause, and the gazes fixed on Xiao Churan were filled with admiration.

Who was this woman on the list? Why did the Emgrand Group hold her in such high regard?

Xiao Churan herself was puzzled. Glancing at Ye Chen, the current situation mirrored what he had mentioned earlier. Mrs. Xiao returned to the director position that rightfully belonged to Xiao Churan.

Even as the banquet concluded and Xiao Churan returned home, she remained in a state of confusion.

Recalling Ye Chen's words, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something about him had changed recently. It was as if he were shrouded in layers of mystery.

That night, Xiao Churan became a well-known figure in Jinling!

Everyone now knew that an exceptional descendant of the Xiao family had successfully enlisted the support of the Emgrand Group!

It seemed that with her at the helm, the rejuvenation of the Xiao family was imminent.

...

Early the next morning, Xiao Churan woke up with enthusiasm and promptly headed to the company.

Today marked her first day as director, and she was determined to give it her all.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, after completing his usual household chores, received a call from his mother-in-law, Ma Lan.

On answering, his mother-in-law's anxious voice came through, "Ye Chen, you must reach a safe location within ten minutes, or there'll be consequences when I get home!"

With that, she abruptly hung up.

Ye Chen, perplexed by the sudden call, quickly prepared himself and hailed a taxi, rushing to Ping'an Road.

Exiting the cab, he found a group of individuals, including his mother-in-law, gathered in front of a closed insurance company, holding banners and shouting in protest.

Ma Lan, spotting Ye Chen, beckoned him over and handed him a banner, instructing, "Come, join the protest. I've been yelling all morning, and my voice is nearly gone."

Ye Chen found himself reluctantly participating in the protest alongside a few uncles and aunts. While chanting slogans, he intermittently sought clarification from a nearby uncle, gradually piecing together the situation.

It appeared that Huaxin Insurance Co., Ltd. had promoted insurance products with extraordinarily high returns. Seduced by the promise of substantial profits, this group of individuals, including Ye Chen's mother-in-law, invested heavily in the company's insurance offerings.

When the time came for dividends, the unsuspecting investors discovered the company's doors locked. Only a handful of employees lingered outside, offering feeble excuses. It was then that the deceived group realized they had fallen victim to a scam.

Understanding why his mother-in-law urgently summoned him, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a headache. He inquired, "Mom, how much insurance did you buy?"

Ma Lan responded anxiously, "They promised enormous profits through dividends. Acting on a whim, I invested our entire savings in their products."

Ye Chen was stunned, exclaiming, "What? Our entire family's savings in financial insurance?"

Ma Lan, angered by the accusation, retorted, "Do you think you can speak so boldly because I'm not embarrassed enough? If you were capable, would I need to rely on insurance for retirement?!"

Frustrated with Ye Chen's inability to support the family, she continued, "Now, not only can you not provide for us, but you also stand idly by when a crisis occurs!"

Ordered to continue shouting slogans, Ye Chen reluctantly agreed, saying, "Alright, Mom."

Several aunts approached, scrutinizing Ye Chen and questioning Ma Lan, "Sister Lan, is this your son-in-law?"

One of them, glancing at Ye Chen's attire, chuckled, "Why does he look so destitute? My son-in-law is far better off."

"Yeah, these clothes are too worn! Even an old lady like me has better attire!"

The comments, laced with ridicule, were harsh.

Ye Chen remained unfazed; these were individuals who had just lost their life savings. He saw no reason to engage with their remarks.

Ma Lan, increasingly displeased with Ye Chen, spontaneously declared, "Watch and see; I'll have my daughter divorce him soon! I'll find a son-in-law who can provide for us!"

Ye Chen inwardly sneered at the idea of riding a dragon to become a son-in-law, knowing that even the wealthiest in Jinling couldn't compare to a true dragon.

Despite Ma Lan's distress, she acknowledged that resolving the financial mess required a capable individual. Considering Zhang Wenhao was bankrupt, she pondered seeking assistance from someone reliable.

In a sudden recollection, Ma Lan remembered meeting Wang Yunkai, Wang Yunfei's brother, at a recent family banquet. Observing his apparent interest in her daughter, she reasoned that he might be willing to help.

Recalling that Wang Yunkai had given her his business card, she promptly retrieved her phone and dialed his number.

The call was promptly answered.

Ma Lan began, "Hey, is this Yun Kai? Yes, I am Xiao Churan's mother..."

Since Wang Yunkai noticed Xiao Churan at the banquet, he was instantly captivated and couldn't forget her.

Expecting little chance to get close to Xiao Churan, he was pleasantly surprised when her mother called him. Speculating that Ma Lan had encountered some trouble, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to show his courtesy.

He greeted politely, "Aunt Ma, are you in any trouble?"

Ma Lan urgently explained, "Well, there's something Auntie needs your help with. A few old sisters and I bought some financial products from an insurance company called Huaxin, and our family's wealth was invested in them. But now this company doesn't allow cash withdrawals. Can you think of a way to help Auntie get the money back?"

Wang Yunkai, thrilled at the chance to showcase his capabilities, confidently replied, "Auntie, don't worry. I will come to you now, and I will definitely help you solve this matter!"

Ma Lan, excited, exclaimed, "Thank you so much!"

After hanging up, she looked at Ye Chen and scornfully said, "Some people don't have any ability. Apart from shouting a few slogans, what's the point?"

Ye Chen sneered inwardly, finding his mother-in-law snobbish and blind.

Calling Wang Yunkai for help?

This company had defrauded millions or even more, likely with influential backers from the underworld. How could Wang Yunkai force them to return the money?

In fact, this matter could be swiftly resolved by calling Zekai Chen at Shangri-La. As the Ye family's spokesperson in Jinling, he held significant influence, but Ma Lan, blinded by her trust in Wang Yunkai, opted for a less practical solution.

Witnessing Ma Lan making the call, onlookers burst into laughter, questioning if she had found a powerful person to help.

Proudly, Ma Lan declared to the group, "Don't worry, I've invited the eldest young master of the Wang family to help. He's very capable. I think I can get the money back easily!"

Someone exclaimed, "The eldest young master of the Wang family? Sister Lan, you are so awesome to find such a powerful person!"

"Yes, Master Wang must have a lot of connections. Isn't it just a matter of a few words to resolve our matter?"

"Sister Lan, since you know such a good young talent, why don't you marry your daughter to him? Instead, marry such a loser!"

Ma Lan disdainfully glanced at Ye Chen and retorted, "This kind of trash will be kicked out of our Xiao family sooner or later!"

Ye Chen remained silent, waiting for Wang Yunkai to arrive and witness the outcome.

Shortly after, a black Porsche glided to a stop.

A young man in a stylish suit and leather tie, exuding charisma, emerged.

Wang Yunkai had arrived.

The old men and women around couldn't help but comment, "Oh, look at this young talent! Such a good son-in-law. I wonder which girl will be lucky in the future!"
