C3 3 I Want You All to be Finished

The three people present were stunned.

Wenchao clutched his flushed face, seething with anger. In his family, he was the cherished eldest grandson and the future heir. Everyone showed him respect, but today, he was slapped—hard—by a newcomer, someone they considered a nobody. How could he endure such humiliation?

Qian and Mengyao stood in shock, unable to believe Xiao Tian had actually struck him. Mengyao's words were just said in anger, but she never expected Xiao Tian to act on them and hit the family's eldest grandson. Her face turned pale with fear.

“Xiao Tian, are you crazy? Why did you actually hit him?” Mengyao exclaimed.

Xiao Tian replied tenderly, “Because now you’re my wife, and I won’t let anyone bully you!”

Is this guy out of his mind? Even if they just got married, he was still considered a deserter. Now, after hitting the family’s eldest grandson, Wenchao, with his personality, would surely stop at nothing to get revenge. It was over, completely over.

“Damn it, you’re asking for it!” Wenchao shouted. “A useless son-in-law dares to hit me? You must be tired of living!”

Desperate to restore his dignity, Wenchao swung his fist, ready to retaliate. But how could he possibly stand against someone as formidable as Xiao Tian, the War God of Northgard?

Snap.

In an instant, Xiao Tian countered, breaking Wenchao’s arm.

A piercing scream filled the air.

Chen Wenchao was in so much pain he was stomping his foot, his face turning pale. As the eldest grandson who always flaunted his authority in the Chen family, he never imagined he would suffer such humiliation today.

"You just wait, and you too, Chen Mengyao! I'll make sure you both pay!" Chen Wenchao shouted, clutching his wrist as he hurried away.

Fuhua Real Estate. The pillar of the Chen family business. Old Madam Chen and her eldest son, Chen Yong, had received a call from an important business partner from the state capital. After attending a wedding, they rushed to the company and were now in the conference room discussing a collaboration.

"Grandma, Dad!" Chen Wenchao burst into the conference room, both agitated and in pain.

Old Madam Chen, who was in the middle of the meeting, was displeased by her grandson's abrupt entrance. "What are you doing? Can't you see we have guests? Where are your manners?" she said with a stern expression.

Seeing his mother upset, Chen Yong stood up and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Get out!"

Swallowing his anger, Chen Wenchao had no choice but to retreat outside.

An hour later, the meeting concluded. Only then did Chen Wenchao dare to come back in, immediately bursting into tears.

"Grandma, you have to stand up for me! I got beaten up, my arm is killing me, it feels like it's going to break..." he sobbed, tears streaming down his face.

His son got beaten up? Chen Yong was instantly alarmed. His precious son, whom he wouldn't even dream of hitting, who dared to lay a hand on him?

"What! You got hit? Who did it?"

Liu Yong couldn't hold back and asked immediately.

Old Madam Chen was also worried.

"My dear grandson, come over here and let Grandma take a look. Your hand better be okay. Tell Grandma what happened."

"Grandma, Dad, it was Xiao Tian, the new son-in-law who just joined our family..."

"You have to stand up for me!"

Chen Wenchao cried.

Xiao Tian??

Old Madam Chen frowned!

He's just a son-in-law, acting so out of line?

Chen Wenchao, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, the future heir, and Xiao Tian dared to hit him?

Old Madam Chen stomped her cane firmly!

"This is outrageous! Wenchao, tell Grandma exactly what happened."

Hearing his grandma's concern gave Chen Wenchao some confidence.

"Grandma, it was all Chen Mengyao. She told Xiao Tian to hit me."

Old Madam Chen's expression changed slightly, hesitating for a moment.

Although she never thought much of her younger granddaughter, Chen Mengyao, she couldn't deny her impressive business skills. A top university graduate, she'd been with Fuhua Real Estate for two years and handled many key projects!

Chen Yong quickly read Old Madam Chen's thoughts.

In the past two years, Chen Mengyao had been making significant contributions to the company, posing a growing threat to them.

Now that his son was hit, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to eliminate a future problem?

"Mom, you have to stand up for your grandson! That Mengyao is really getting too bold. Just because she's had some success at the company, she thinks she can ignore Wenchao. He's your precious grandson!"

Old Madam Chen's face was serious, and she was conflicted inside. How should she handle this?

The economy isn't doing well, and Fuhua Real Estate is having cash flow issues. They're negotiating a crucial partnership with the biggest company in town, Purple Gold Group. This deal is extremely important and can't afford any mistakes, and Mengyao is the one managing it. She worried that if she punished her granddaughter, it might jeopardize the contract signing.

"Wenchao, tell me, how do you want me to handle this?" Old Madam Chen asked.

"Fire Mengyao and kick her family out of the Chen family," Wenchao said through gritted teeth.

"I have no objections to that, but you must promise me you'll secure the deal with Purple Gold Group without any issues!" the old lady replied.

At these words, Wenchao hesitated. Apart from flaunting his status as the eldest grandson, his business skills were lacking. But this was the best chance to get rid of Mengyao, and he didn't want to miss it!

He had looked into the project beforehand and knew Mengyao was indeed talented. After several discussions, the signing was almost certain, but the final signature was still pending.

Everything's set up; now we just need a signature, right?

“Grandma, I promise I can handle this deal!” Chen Wenchao said confidently.

“Good, I admire your courage. But let me be clear, if the contract doesn’t go through, I won’t go easy on you, even if you are my eldest grandson!”

Meanwhile.

Chen Mengyao and Xiao Tian returned home.

Just as they reached the door, they heard a heated argument inside.

Chen Mengyao knew her parents were still arguing about her marriage.

“Mom, I’m back,” Chen Mengyao called out.

Qin Yulian opened the door, her eyes red from crying. She was about to let her daughter in, but when she saw Xiao Tian, her expression darkened.

“Mengyao, you come in, but he needs to leave!”

“Our family can’t accommodate someone like him!”

“Even though this marriage was arranged by the family matriarch, I, Qin Yulian, don’t accept him as my son-in-law. I don’t want my daughter to become the laughingstock of the entire town.”

Chen Mengyao bit her lip, “Mom, please don’t say that...”

“What else can I say? He’s over ten years older than you. If he were accomplished, I might accept it, but he’s just a deserter. I can’t bear the shame. Get out, now!”

Qin Yulian cried and shouted at the same time.

Xiao Tian's expression was calm and unreadable as he prepared to turn and leave. Suddenly, Mengyao reached out with her delicate hand and grabbed his sleeve.

"Mom, please let him stay."

"Mengyao, are you not listening to me anymore? What on earth are you thinking?"

"I'm not thinking anything. He... he's my husband now."

Husband?

Xiao Tian felt a sudden warmth in his heart. Mengyao, it's been twelve years, and you're still so kind-hearted... Even with all the grievances you hold inside, you still care so much for others.

Hearing her daughter speak like this, Yulian became anxious. "I'm just doing this for your own good, you know. Fine, if that's how you feel, I won't meddle in your affairs anymore!"

With that, she stormed into the bedroom and slammed the door shut with a bang!
