Chapter 7 I'll Be Your Son-in-Law
"Bang!"
A loud noise exploded in Liu Ran's ears.
She closed her eyes in despair, not feeling the sharp pain of a dagger piercing her neck, but instead a sense of relief.
Liu Ran was a little bewildered.
She seemed to catch a familiar scent.
She opened her eyes.
What she saw was that pair of familiar, deep, and gentle eyes!
It was Chen Yang!
Liu Ran parted her lips and asked softly, "You... how are you here?"
"I... I..."
Chen Yang suddenly couldn't speak!
He looked at the woman in his arms, his heart filled with sorrow and anger!
He couldn't understand why the life-saving benefactor he had been searching for for twenty years, the kind and beautiful angel in his heart, was now being pushed to such a desperate situation!
Chen Yang gritted his teeth, tears uncontrollable as they streamed down his face.
Chen Yang said, "I came to find you, and I won't leave again. I will always... stay by your side!"
"Ah... ah?"
Liu Ran was startled, her face flushing red.
Immediately, she realized she was still being held by Chen Yang.
And that ferocious Zhang Liang had already been kicked by Chen Yang and sent flying against the wall!
Liu Ran's heart was in a state of utter chaos.
What was going on?
How could Chen Yang, her brother-in-law, suddenly utter such words?
She was grateful that he had come to save her!
But how could he say such things!
Even though her relationship with Liu Xin was not good, she was still Chen Yang's sister-in-law!
For him to say such things to his sister-in-law was truly... incomprehensible!
Zhang Liang got up from the ground.
He looked at Chen Yang, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes!
The dagger in his hand suddenly pointed at Chen Yang, "Kid, you actually escaped from my brother-in-law's grasp, you've got guts! Did the Flying Eagle Brigade fail to keep you locked up!"
Chen Yang sneered, looking at Zhang Liang as if he were a dead man, "Your brother-in-law's fate won't be much better than yours! Now, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you with my own hands!"
"Damn it, how dare you speak to Brother Liang like that!"
A subordinate at the door raised his baseball bat and swung it towards Chen Yang's head.
He had to prove himself in front of Zhang Liang.
He had been guarding the door earlier and hadn't seen how Chen Yang entered, which resulted in Zhang Liang being kicked flying.
Now he had to make up for it!
The baseball bat in the subordinate's hand came crashing down towards the back of Chen Yang's head.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the thug flew out, the baseball bat in his hand clattering to the ground and breaking.
"Clang... Plop!"
The thug flew out of the house and landed in the cesspool of the urban village.
The expressions of the others changed drastically.
They exchanged glances, not daring to make another move.
"This kid knows martial arts, as powerful as Bruce Lee."
"Grab your weapons, grab your weapons! Wait for Brother Liang's signal and attack together."
"Yeah, yeah, let's surround him together, what are we afraid of!"
Zhang Liang glared at Chen Yang, gritted his teeth, and then pointed at Chen Yang, saying, "Fine! I've got your number! Kid, you, a deliveryman son-in-law, dare to meddle in our White Wave Financial Company's affairs! Your whole family is finished!"
After saying that, Zhang Liang led his men away in large strides.
He walked out the door and suddenly bent over, clutching his stomach in pain.
Chen Yang's kick was too powerful, and Zhang Liang was afraid that his men wouldn't be a match for him.
"Let's go back to the nightclub and gather everyone! Tonight, I'll turn that loser into a bloody mess!"
...
In the dilapidated room.
Liu Ran hurriedly shook her hands, pushing Chen Yang forcefully, "You... you'd better put me down quickly."
Chen Yang came back to his senses and quickly put Liu Ran down, "I'm sorry, I'm late. Are you all alright? How are Uncle and Auntie?"
Liu Jianghu screamed, his leg bones completely broken.
Cao Meihua next to him was constantly wiping away tears and wailing.
Liu Ran tremblingly took out her phone, wanting to make a call.
"Don't call, don't call." Liu Jianghu said, his mouth twitching in pain, "Xiao Ran, we have no money, we can't afford to go to the hospital. Don't call an ambulance. My leg has always been a problem, we can just... just rest it."
After saying that, Liu Jianghu almost fainted from the pain.
Liu Ran said tremblingly, "Dad! No matter how poor we are... we must get it treated. We'll mortgage this house to get you treatment for your leg."
Liu Jianghu and Cao Meihua were both insistent on not going to the hospital.
Even though his leg bone was broken again and bleeding profusely, they were still unwilling to go to the hospital, afraid of spending more money!
Chen Yang stood aside.
Seeing this scene, his heart ached as if it were bleeding!
What kind of life had Liu Ran's family endured all these years!
Chen Yang wiped the corners of his eyes, quickly squatted down, and examined Liu Jianghu's leg bone, saying, "Third Uncle, your leg must go to the hospital for bone setting. Also, this time the fracture is not without benefits. We can take this opportunity to let your bones heal and grow again, and you won't be lame after you're discharged."
"Ah? Really... really?" Liu Ran asked excitedly, "Thank you, brother-in-law. I'll go find someone to borrow money first."
"No need, I have money." Chen Yang waved his hand, "Call an ambulance."
Liu Jianghu and Cao Meihua both looked at Chen Yang in surprise.
They naturally recognized Chen Yang.
When Liu Xin married Chen Yang a year ago, although they were seated in the corner and ignored, they had clearly seen that the man before them was Liu Xin's husband, Chen Yang!
However, they had heard that Chen Yang, the live-in son-in-law, hadn't been much use over the past year, only earning money by delivering food, and was a good-for-nothing at home.
But now, it seemed Chen Yang was well-behaved, acted steadily, was good at fighting, and was reliable.
Most importantly, he was kind.
Cao Meihua sighed and said to Chen Yang, "Thank you, thank you. Liu Xin married a good man! You're much better than the rumors say."
Chen Yang scratched his head upon hearing Cao Meihua's words, then he tentatively said, "Then... Third Aunt, can... can I be your son-in-law?"
"Ah?" Cao Meihua, Liu Jianghu, and Liu Ran all turned their heads in astonishment, staring at Chen Yang.
Then Liu Ran said indignantly, "Brother-in-law! What are you joking about? You're the son-in-law of Uncle's family, how... how can you be my mother's son-in-law? Besides, I'm an ugly monster, you... you..."
As she spoke, Liu Ran's chest rose and fell. She felt that Chen Yang was just toying with her and her family.
Chen Yang, with a thick skin, said loudly, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I'm not joking. I'll get a divorce from Liu Xin tomorrow. The person I want to marry is Liu Ran. I truly... want to protect Liu Ran for my entire life!"
Liu Ran was stunned upon hearing this, then quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding wildly...
