Chapter 382 Overly Enthusiastic
"What do you mean? Heh heh!"
"Is your home internet not connected yet? In Jiangzhou, there are already dozens of fast-food chains like Starbucks and KFC! Jiangzhou has built over a dozen buildings this tall!" Xue Chuan sneered.
"You..."
Zhen Xiaoqiong's face turned beet red, and she panted heavily, trembling all over.
"Oh, seeing your ignorant look, your family must not be able to afford internet fees. Don't worry, just say the word, and I'll cover your entire year's internet fees!"
"Consider these my initial sponsorship for you!"
With that, Xue Chuan pulled out a dozen steel coins left over from breakfast from his pocket and threw them at Zhen Xiaoqiong.
"Damn you! You're the one who can't afford internet fees!"
After hearing this, Zhen Xiaoqiong completely lost her temper, her face turning from green to white.
She had thought the country bumpkins from Jiangzhou would be very insecure, but she never expected them to retort.
Su Yunxi said in a deep voice, "Alright, Xiaoqiong! Have you forgotten what I just told you?"
Zhen Xiaoqiong scanned the three of them, especially glaring at Xue Chuan, and pouted,
"Cousin, they're just two bodyguards."
"Look at the bodyguards your fiancé hired, one is underage, the other is an idiot."
"If you fire them, I'll arrange two good ones for you."
Zhen Xiaoqiong's words immediately offended all three of them.
"Zhen Xiaoqiong, you can't be managed by your cousin, can you?" Su Yunxi's face hardened, becoming more serious.
Zhen Xiaoqiong was also spoiled, muttering a few more words, but she clearly still feared Su Yunxi and said no more.
After another twenty-odd minutes, they finally drove into a luxurious villa. The villa was Western-style, now covered in a thick layer of ice and snow, resembling a fairy-tale castle.
Inside the villa, it was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. On the main door, exquisite Fu characters and couplets were posted, along with various decorations, creating a festive atmosphere filled with the spirit of the New Year.
Within the villa, there was a small parking lot filled with several rows of luxury cars, suggesting many guests had arrived.
Upon seeing the parked cars, Zhen Xiaoqiong's eyes immediately lit up.
Xue Chuan and Mo Xiaoxue took their luggage from the trunk and followed Su Yunxi towards the living room. Chen Xuan also followed. Whether intentionally or not, Zhen Xiaoqiong lagged behind, seemingly waiting for him.
"Chen Xuan, if it weren't for the lousy bodyguards you hired, Cousin wouldn't have lectured me. You'll pay for this later!"
Zhen Xiaoqiong gritted her small tiger teeth and said fiercely. After speaking, she turned to leave, but as if remembering something, she added, "You don't deserve Cousin Yunxi at all!"
"Whether I deserve her or not, your word doesn't count?"
Chen Xuan smiled, not taking it to heart at all.
Chen Xuan looked at the living room door and stopped.
Although Su Qian had already recognized him as the Su family's son-in-law, seeing Zhen Xiaoqiong's behavior, Chen Xuan knew that many people would still not acknowledge his marriage to Su Yunxi.
That was understandable; after all, a heavenly maiden marrying a divorced minor security guard was too big a gap.
However, what was meant to come would come. Chen Xuan possessed absolute strength and was not afraid of them!
Putting aside his thoughts, he pushed the door open.
When Chen Xuan entered, Su Yunxi was already surrounded by a group of elegant and noble women. They appeared to be Su Yunxi's relatives, inquiring about her well-being. Mo Xiaoxue and Xue Chuan were arranged by Su Yunxi to put away their luggage.
"Yunxi, darling, you've lost weight! Your father is truly heartless to let you go to Jiangzhou alone!"
"Yunxi, it's good that you're back, quickly let Auntie see you!"
A group of elegant and noble women held Su Yunxi's small hands, inquiring about her well-being with tears in their eyes, appearing very affectionate.
After a moment, Su Yunxi remembered Chen Xuan and pulled him over to introduce him, "Everyone, this is Chen Xuan! My fiancé!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, these elegant and noble women were first stunned. They looked him up and down, and then their faces lit up with enthusiasm, "So you're Chen Xuan! Just as your father picked, you truly are a handsome man!"
"Indeed, indeed!"
"You are worthy of the title of Su family's son-in-law!"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise flashing across his face.
This scene was quite different from what Chen Xuan had expected. Not only were they surprisingly enthusiastic, but they also held Chen Xuan's hand and offered him a meeting gift, which turned out to be rectangular gold bars or precious jade.
Had he misunderstood? Had Zhen Xiaoqiong been wrong?
Seeing their enthusiastic faces, perhaps he had indeed misunderstood.
"Auntie!"
"Aunt!"
"Auntie!"
Following Su Yunxi's introductions, Chen Xuan also greeted them one by one, thus completing the introductions.
"You must have been tired on your journey, quickly go inside and rest."
Under the enthusiastic persuasion of the Su family relatives, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi were welcomed inside.
Chen Xuan felt a bit more favorably towards Su family's relatives. The Su family's relatives were clearly not ordinary people, and it was unexpected that they were so approachable.
After sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, a servant walked over and said to Su Yunxi, "Miss Yunxi, Madam is upstairs wondering which dress to wear and wants your advice."
"Chen Xuan, sit with your aunts and aunties for a while, I'll be right back."
Seeing that the relatives were not targeting Chen Xuan, Su Yunxi confidently followed the servant upstairs.
After Su Yunxi left, the atmosphere around them instantly turned cold. Perhaps it was because Su Yunxi had left, but when Chen Xuan drank water, he noticed a faint cold smirk on the faces of these relatives.
Chen Xuan didn't think much of it, mistaking it for an illusion.
"Aunts and aunties, please drink your tea, it's getting cold."
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "This tea seems to be the precious Da Hong Pao. It would be a shame if it gets cold."
The relatives all smiled in agreement and drank their tea.
Finally, Zhen Xiaoqiong's mother, Jiang Bixia, couldn't hold back any longer and said with a smile, "Chen Xuan, how did you and Chen Xuan get to know each other?"
Chen Xuan didn't think much of it and recounted the story truthfully.
"Security guard? Firefighting? Divorce?"
Although she had a general idea of Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi's experiences from her sister, Su Yunxi's mother, Jiang Bixia was still greatly surprised when she heard it from Chen Xuan.
The other relatives also exchanged glances, casting a question mark over the son-in-law meticulously chosen by Su Qian.
Their minds raced.
This was hardly a meticulous selection; it was clearly finding an excuse to choose a son-in-law.
Although many rumors had reached the provincial capital, most people believed that it was for the Su family's face. After all, who would want to admit that their daughter was marrying a second-hand security guard with no skills?
Thinking of this, this group of relatives felt even more that Chen Xuan was nothing.
"Then your family's financial situation must be quite ordinary?" an aunt quickly asked.
The others also stared intently at Chen Xuan, their curiosity seemingly much stronger than seeing the latest branded handbag.
Chen Xuan nodded honestly, "It was indeed not good before."
Chen Xuan did not say it was good, but it was not good before, but it was different now.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of each relative lit up, and they breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Bixia also relaxed, leaning back on the sofa with an expression of relief, "Then this is easy to handle!"
"Tell me, are you leaving on your own, or will you be thrown out?" Jiang Bixia narrowed her eyes, staring at Chen Xuan.
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Xuan's brows furrowed deeply.
"What do I mean? I mean get out!"
"Someone like you is worthy of being the Su family's son-in-law?"
"Someone like you will only bring trouble to the Su family! Trouble to all of us!"
Jiang Bixia put her hands on her hips, her face full of disdain.
The others also wore cold smiles, their expressions filled with contempt.
