The female boss's son-in-law

Chapter 2: Cold reception and hardship

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the heavy curtains, and sprinkled on Ye Dean's face. He slowly opened his eyes, and the nightmare of last night was like this light, fragmented. In the dream, he stood on the ruins of the family, surrounded by desolate land, and he was alone.

He sat up from the bed and looked around the room got that was very strange to him. Every piece of furniture and every inch of space here did not belong to him. This is the mansion of the Karin family, but he is just a guest here, an inconspicuous son-in-law.

Ye Dean put on his clothes and went downstairs. In the hall of the mansion, the servants were very busy preparing today's breakfast. Their eyes swept over him with a hint of disdain and indifference. He knew that behind their eyes was the judgment of the whole family on him.

Aili sat at one end of the long table in the living room, her golden hair was tied up high, revealing her beautiful neck. But when she saw Ye Dean, there was no warmth in her eyes, as if he was just an insignificant decoration.

"Good morning, Ellie." Ye Dean said this "Good morning" calmly, but from his eyes, he could see that he was very calm.

Ellie raised her head slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Good morning, Ye Dean. I hope you can get used to it here."

There was a thorn in her words, but Ye Dean just smiled slightly and did not respond to her. He knew that this marriage was a war without gunpowder. What he needed was not only patience, but also wisdom.

After breakfast, Ellie handed him a list, "This is your housework. I hope you can finish it before dinner."

The Dean took the list, which was densely written with various trivial housework. He did not complain at all, but just nodded, "I will finish it."

He turned and left the living room, and Ellie's sneer came from behind him, "Don't let me down."

Ye Dean started his work for the day. He cleaned the room, trimmed the garden, and even washed the car. He did all the housework without any reverie. He knew that these tasks were not only a challenge for him, but also a test for him.

In the afternoon, while pruning the garden, Ye Dean accidentally discovers a rare plant - the "Night Queen". This plant only grows in a specific environment and has a miraculous effect on the treatment of certain diseases. He remembered that an elder of the Kalin family was suffering from this disease.

A thought flashed through his mind, perhaps this "Night Queen" was his chance.

He carefully transplanted the "Night Queen" to a hidden place and decided to keep the secret for the time being. He knew that the time was not right yet, and all he needed was to wait.

At dinner, Ellie noticed that Ye Dean's expression had changed slightly. There seemed to be a little more confidence in his eyes. She moved in her heart and decided to give him a chance.

"Tomorrow, you will accompany me to a banquet." Ellie's voice was still cold, but Ye Dean heard a different feeling from usual.

He raised his head and looked directly into Ellie's eyes, "I'll be ready."

That night, Ye Dean lay in bed, full of expectations. He knew that this would be his chance to show himself and to understand the Kalin family.

He closed his eyes, and the image of the "Queen of the Night" appeared in his mind. He knew that this plant was very important to him, and it would be the key to his revival of the family.

The next day, Ye Dean put on the dress that Ali prepared for him. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his figure, and he knew that he was ready.

The banquet was held in the manor of the Kalin family. The guests were all wearing gorgeous dresses, talking and laughing. Ye Dean followed behind Ali, his eyes shuttled through the crowd, he was looking for opportunities.

Ali was surrounded by a group of guests, her beauty and temperament attracted everyone's attention. Ye Dean stood quietly aside, his eyes fell on an old man, he was an elder of the Kalin family and his target.

Then he held a glass of red wine and slowly walked towards the old man. His steps were steady, and his eyes were firm. He knew that this was his chance.

"Good evening, sir." Ye Dean's voice was gentle and powerful. The old man looked up and looked at him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Who are you?" The old man's voice was a little puzzled.

"I am Ye Dean, a member of the Kalin family." Ye Dean said with a smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of wisdom.

A hint of interest flashed in the old man's eyes, and he nodded, "I know you, you are Ellie's husband."

Ye Dean smiled, he knew that he had begun to arouse the old man's interest in himself.

"I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently." Ye Dean's voice was still gentle, and the old man's eyes were full of surprise that he knew this.

"How did you know?" The old man's voice was a little vigilant.

Ye Dean smiled, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to the old man, "This is what I prepared for you, it has a miraculous effect on your illness."

The old man took the bottle, opened it and smelled it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is the essence of the 'Queen of the Night', how did you get it?"

The Dean smiled and didn't speak. He knew that he had succeeded.

There was a hint of gratitude in the old man's eyes for his actions. He patted Ye Dean on the shoulder, "Thank you, young man." Ye Dean smiled, he knew that he had taken the first step. After the banquet, Ellie looked at Ye Dean, her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and asked him: "How did you do it? How do you know that thing has a miraculous effect on the old man's disease?" Ye Dean smiled, his eyes revealed a hint of confidence, "I just did what I should do." Ellie looked at him, she suddenly felt a little complicated in her heart, she knew that she might have underestimated the man in front of her. That night, Ye Dean lay on the bed and prepared to go to sleep, his heart full of satisfaction and confidence. Because he knew that the family's revival was slowly beginning, and he also knew that there was still a long way to go.
