The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 7 Snobs



All the shocking scenes knocked off the onlookers’ socks.

Firstly, the master of the Song family suddenly appeared to thank Xiao Shun. Then they found the copper coin used to belong to Master Lotus. All the Yaos had been given the shock of their lives.

They felt that they were indeed blind and stupid.

“Even if the coin belonged to Master Lotus, so what? He must be lucky to find it somewhere at random,” Yao Han remarked unhappily.

Covering the cheek slapped by his grandfather, he seethed with rage.

Inwardly, he cursed Xiao Shun.

Li Chunlian muttered, “I don’t believe this rubbish is a doctor. He’s not even qualified to be a vet. This old man must be hired by him to put on such a show.”

Although she didn’t speak loudly, her voice was evident in the silence.

Song Zhenhai and Xiao Shun were expressionless, but Yao Zhenshu’s expression changed.

Yao Zhenshu snapped, “Shut up! What do you know?”

Li Chunlian shrank her neck in fear and buttoned her lip in anger. However, she glared at Xiao Shun from time to time.

After snapping at Li Chunlian, Yao Zhenhai turned around and said to Song Zhenhai respectfully, “Mr. Song, please forgive her rudeness. Please have a seat.” He let Song Zhenhai sit in the host’s chair where he was sitting.

Others might not know precisely who Song Zhenhai was, but Yao Zhenshu did.

Several years ago, when Song Zhenhai was still a famous business tycoon, Yao Zhenshu and Yao Changhe were just salesmen working with their father.

After several decades, they still couldn’t catch up with the Song family. On the contrary, they were far less influential.

However, Song Zhenhai turned to Xiao Shun with a warm smile and suggested, “Dr. Xiao, come here. You should be the most suitable man to sit here.”

Ignoring Yao Zhenshu’s embarrassed look, Song Zhenhai pressed Xiao Shun to sit in the host’s seat. Xiao Shun sat down without refusal.

Pouting, Song Linger sat beside her grandfather, but Song Zhenhai pointed at the empty seat next to Xiao Shun. “Go sit there, Linger.”

“Grandpa!” Song Linger complained but sat next to Xiao Shun obediently.

She gave him a fierce look, showing all her teeth.

Watching the scene, Yao Cen trembled and felt upset.

She wondered if Mr. Song was serious about letting his granddaughter marry Xiao Shun. Xiao Shun hadn’t divorced her yet.

Ouyang Zheng sat beside Song Zhenhai with a flattering smile.

Compared to the Song family, the Ouyang family was nothing.

Yao Zhenshu felt sickened, as if he had swallowed a fly. However, he battled a smile and sat down. After all, in Song Zhenhai’s presence, he dared not force Xiao Shun to stand up.

Others also sat down with sullen looks. The awkwardness spread in the air.

No one dared to urge Xiao Shun to divorce again.

After the banquet continued, the table where Xiao Shun was sitting became the focus of the hall. People who mocked him changed their attitudes utterly.

Niu Junpeng and Hou Jinyong plastered smiles and walked toward Xiao Shun for toasts, holding their glasses.

Anyone wise could tell Song Zhenhai respected Xiao Shun. None of them dared to humiliate Xiao Shun as before.

Niu Junpeng thundered, holding the glass, “I’m too old and blind. Mr. Xiao. I didn’t know you were a friend of Mr. Song. Sorry for being so rude earlier, Mr. Xiao. Please forgive me.”

Then he gulped down the liquor in one go. The next second, he refilled his glass and said to Song Zhenhai, “Mr. Song, a great honor to meet you. Cheers!”

Song Zhenhai didn’t respond. Without raising his head, he said, “I’m too old to drink.”

“Haha… No problem. It’s alright,” Niu Junpeng answered with a wry smile. To hide his embarrassment, he walked away after bottoming up.

Hou Jinyong’s eyes rolled. He looked at the Yaos at the table and raised another topic, “Mr. Xiao is young and talented. Miss Yao and Ms. Liu really have good taste in man. Sun Chuan cannot be compared to Mr. Xiao at all.”

His words embarrassed Yao Cen and Liu Yunxiang. The two wished to vanish from the hall immediately.

No one on the scene expected Hou Jinyong to compliment this way. After all, he was one of those who enjoyed mocking Xiao Shun just now.

Sun Guoli was so angry that his face turned livid. He jumped to his feet in anger. “Humph! I don’t think it’s necessary for me to stay here. Mr. Song, Mr. Ouyang, I must go.”

He nodded at them farewell and turned away, ignoring Yao Zhenshu.

Sun Guoli feared he might have a heart attack if he continued to stay.

Other guests started flattering Xiao Shun and insulted Sun Chuan after Sun Guoli left.

“I agree. As I said, Mr. Xiao is a talent, but you didn’t believe me.”

“Mr. Song respects him so much. I’m sure he’s a genius.”

“The Yao family is so lucky to have such a grandson-in-law.”

Listening to their exaggerated flattery, Xiao sneered.

No matter how much he explained, others changed their attitude after Song Zhenhai showed up. They were indeed snobbish.

If Song Zhenhai hadn’t shown up, he would have taught all people in the hall a lesson.

Song Zhenhai had actually saved them.

While Xiao Shun was lost in thought, Song Zhenhai was annoyed by other guests’ flattery, so he said, “I came here today to find Dr. Xiao. If you want to talk business, please make an appointment. We can talk in Song Manor. I’ll stay in Hamana in recent days.”

Holding their glasses, several Hamana celebrities had to sit back down in disappointment.

Song Zhenhai had such strong deterrence after speaking a single line. The Yaos were impressed by how influential he was.

In a low voice, Liu Yunxiang asked her husband, “Jianguo, why have I never heard about him in the Song family in Hamana? Why do so many people know him?”

“I’m not surprised you don’t know him.”

Yao Jianguo lowered his voice and added, “Mr. Song let his offspring take over his family companies several years ago. Then he left Hamana and moved to another city to enjoy his retirement. Only old businessmen know him.”

“Without him, the Song family wouldn’t be well known in Hamana.”

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Song Zhenhai several times. She didn’t believe Xiao Shun was competent. However, he had the chance to know Song Zhenhai, so she must grasp this opportunity.

Suddenly, Song Zhenhai said to Xiao Shun. “Dr. Xiao, since you have excellent medical skills when you are free, I’d love to introduce you to the most famous doctor, Wang Ye. You two must have many common topics to discuss.’

Wang Ye, the most famous doctor in Hamana, had great fame nationwide.

It was said his massage and bonesetting skills were highly helpful. Countless patients wished to see him.

However, he had three principles for choosing the patients.

He wouldn’t cure unethical and unkind patients without the appointment. He also only saw three patients every day.

Besides, he only worked when he was in a good mood. He was moody and short-tempered. However, countless people wanted to meet him.

Xiao Shun shook his head leisurely as he wasn’t interested in knowing famous doctors.

Following his master, he learned the Five Classics and Six Classics of Confucianism, medicine, martial arts, and geomantic omen. Medicine was something he had learned randomly.

For him, he only concentrated on cultivation.

Besides, Xiao Shun didn’t think the most famous doctor was better than him.

Seeing Xiao Shun shake his head, Liu Yunxiang was anxious. She chimed in, “Excuse me, Mr. Song. He’s too rude and ignorant to know Dr. Wang. He always has time. He can meet Dr. Wang at any time.”

Anxiety was evident on her face.

Yao Jianguo also echoed, “Exactly! Mr. Song, if Mr. Wang Ye could come to our house, it would be a great honor for our family.”

The two echoed each other while inwardly cursing Xiao Shun.

Wang Ye was a legendary doctor. If they could meet him, their status in the Yao family would upgrade immediately.

Therefore, they secretly blamed Xiao Shun for refusing.

Yao Zhenshu kept silent while sipping the wine. He was still in fear for Master Lotus, looking at Xiao Shun repeatedly up and down.

Compared to Wang Ye and Song Zhenhai, he was more curious to find out the relationship between Master Lotus and Xiao Shun.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

If Master Lotus could become the Yao family’s backer, Yao Zhenhai was sure his family would soon become the most influential one in Hamana.
