Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Father-in-law Wants to Meet Father-in-law

“It’s not about hiring thugs to beat him up; hiring thugs, that’s not hitting where it really hurts. He has always prided himself on being a second-generation rich kid, and now he’s inherited his dead father’s fortune. Those assets, those are his weak spot. Inflicting a huge loss on his wealth, that’s hitting where it hurts!” Liu Yujuan said.

“Causing a huge loss to his wealth, I can’t do it.” Zhao Yulu shook her head. What a terrible idea her mother had come up with.

“I know you can’t, but someone else can.” Liu Yujuan smiled.

“Who?” Zhao Yulu asked, puzzled.

“It’s Xu Yang,” Liu Yujuan said with a smile.

“Him?” Zhao Yulu was stunned.

“Yes,” Liu Yujuan said, “Think about it, Xu Yang is already a billionaire now, and his network is even more powerful. Even Wang Xiaocong has to personally greet him.”

“If Xu Yang helps you, causing a huge loss to Zhao Yulu’s wealth is a matter of moments!”

“You just contact him right away, arrange to meet him, let him see you’ve been beaten, I’m sure he will immediately take you into his arms and ask who did it to you.”

“After knowing the situation, he will surely be infuriated and go after Chen Guanglei. Not only will Chen Guanglei get beaten up, but his wealth might not be safe at all!”

“From then on, you’ll be back together!”

By the end, Liu Yujuan was laughing again, already enjoying the prospect of a happy future life.

“Mom, there you go again.” Zhao Yulu really didn’t know what to say.

Everything could somehow lead her mom back to Xu Yang.

But still, she had to admit her mother was right.

If Xu Yang was willing to stand up for her, dealing with Chen Guanglei would indeed be a matter of moments.

After all, the Xu Yang of today, whether in terms of wealth or networking, was utterly overwhelming Chen Guanglei.

Yet she hadn’t decided if she wanted to do things the way Liu Yujuan previously suggested.

“What do you mean ‘there you go again’? I’m looking out for your best interest. Why can’t you appreciate it? You call Xu Yang right now, have him avenge you, make that Chen Guanglei regret it!” Liu Yujuan urged, dissatisfied.

“Mom, I’m not making that call. I haven’t made up my mind about what you said, and I don’t want you to bring it up again. I’m heading back to my room.” Zhao Yulu got up and went to her room.

“You silly girl, do you want to drive me crazy? Such a good opportunity, and you won’t seize it!” Liu Yujuan trembled with anger, “Right, aren’t you going to eat?”

“You go ahead, I’ll rest a bit and eat later.” Zhao Yulu replied and then entered her room, closing the door behind her.

…

Meanwhile.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin arrived at Zhao Hai’s home.

“Dad, what’s the matter today?”

Today, Zhao Hai had asked them over for dinner, saying he had something to talk about.

He hadn’t said what it was over the phone, telling them he would talk about it when they arrived.

No sooner had they stepped through the door and seen their father coming out of the kitchen with a dish in hand than Zhao Yuxin asked her question.

“Let’s talk over dinner; you two have a seat first, the dishes will be ready soon,” Zhao Hai said, placing the dish on the table.

“Dad, you chat with Xu Yang. I’ll go help Ru Yan,” Zhao Yuxin rushed into the kitchen, “Ru Yan, I’m here to help you!”

Xu Yang and Zhao Hai sat in the living room, having tea.

Xu Yang inquired about the current development status of Haidilao.

Learning that the Haidilao business was still booming and was now preparing to expand into second-tier cities,

With shareholders like Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin to back it up, national expansion presented no issues.

Soon, the meals were ready, and the family sat down to dine together.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Yuxin asked again, “Dad, can you tell us now? What did you want to see us for?”

Zhao Hai glanced at Zhou Ruyan before answering, “Ruyan and I are already together, and we’re planning to visit her parents next weekend.”

“What?” Zhao Yuxin was stunned, then exclaimed with joy, “Really? That’s great!”

If Dad is going to meet Zhou Ruyan’s parents, it means they’re preparing to get married.

This was exactly what she had hoped to see.

Xu Yang was somewhat surprised too; the old man was moving quite fast.

And it made sense—both of them were of a certain age, so once they decided to be together, there was no need to delay things any further.

Not like the young people who date for years.

If they feel it’s right, they get together, meet the parents, and arrange the marriage.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin, being so young and yet hastening to register their marriage, were an exception.

If it weren’t for the system’s choice, Xu Yang wouldn’t have registered the marriage with Zhao Yuxin so quickly.

“Dad, are you nervous about meeting Sister Ruyan’s parents?” Zhao Yuxin asked with a giggle.

“A little bit.” To say he wasn’t nervous would definitely be a lie. Although Zhao Hai wasn’t young and had been married once before, thus experiencing meeting the in-laws, he was still somewhat nervous about meeting Zhou Ruyan’s parents.

“Don’t be nervous, my parents are very easygoing,” Zhou Ruyan said in a soft, comforting voice.

“Sister Ruyan, you care so much about my dad, I’m jealous. I’ll leave caring for my dad to you from now on; I, the little padded jacket, should take my leave,” Zhao Yuxin said with a cheery laugh.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruyan’s cheeks flushed slightly.

“You scamp,” Zhao Hai scolded with a laugh.

“By the way, Dad, do you want Xu Yang and me to come with you to meet Zhou Ruyan’s parents, to give you moral support?” Zhao Yuxin asked.

“There’s no need for that, but if you guys have time, you can come along with me. It would be nice for Zhou Ruyan’s parents to meet you too,” Zhao Hai said.

“I definitely have time, my acquired business practically runs itself,” Xu Yang said.

“I’m also fine. If necessary, I can just ask for a couple days off. Sister Ruyan, would Xu Yang and I coming along cause any issues?” Zhao Yuxin asked.

“What issues could there be? If you could come, my parents and I would be delighted,” Zhou Ruyan replied with a smile.

“Good, then it’s settled. We’ll go on Sunday next week. Make your arrangements, and Yuxin, ask for a couple of days off,” Zhao Hai instructed.

“Alright,” Zhao Yuxin nodded in agreement.

After finishing the meal and chatting for a while longer, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin took their leave.

On the way home.

Feeling elated, Zhao Yuxin said, “Dad is going to meet the in-laws, and just thinking about it makes me happy and excited. I can’t wait to see what Dad will be like, hehe.”

Xu Yang shook his head with a smile, “He’ll definitely make Sister Ruyan’s parents happy.”

Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, “Mhm, I believe it too. We’ll be able to witness the moment and enjoy a two-day trip there.”

“Zhou Ruyan’s hometown is in the capital of Sichuan Province, the Land of Abundance, and I haven’t been there before,” Xu Yang noted.

“I haven’t been there either, and I’ve heard there are lots of beauties. Honey, you’ll have to keep an eye on yourself,” Zhao Yuxin said.

Xu Yang replied with a wry smile, “So, am I not allowed to look at beauties? If there are so many, I can’t just walk down the street with my eyes closed. I’ll definitely end up looking.”

Zhao Yuxin huffed playfully, “A glance is fine; just don’t leer at them.”

Xu Yang was bemused, “With a beautiful wife like you, I’m too busy admiring you to leer at other women.”

Zhao Yuxin hummed in satisfaction, “Hmph, that’s the right answer.”
