Chapter 297: Chapter 274: Son-in-law, You’ve Arrived_2

"It’s this hair salon’s illegal scamming, something that costs just a few hundred becomes tens of thousands when it’s time to check out! Can you believe they so blatantly swindle money?" The person nearby was filled with righteous indignation, and just like that, spilled everything.

"This salon in our neighborhood has a bad reputation, many have fallen victim and remain silent in anger. There have been a few incidents involving the police but all have been unresolved. They have a strong backer, so we’re helpless against them."

Li Chen also understood the general situation and couldn’t help but sneer. In Huaxia, such things seemed especially common, and the ones who suffered were just ordinary people.

At this moment, Ning Wan was glaring furiously at the man blocking her way.

"This is outright extortion!" Ning Wan was livid. She was clearly told that the hair treatment was just a package worth a little over 200 yuan, but when it came time to pay, the charge suddenly jumped to 12,000 yuan. How could she agree to pay such an obvious rip-off?

"Let me tell you, if you don’t pay up, don’t even think about leaving." The burly man huffed, confident in the knowledge that nobody who entered their shop had ever left without paying. Even if things escalated to the police, they weren’t afraid, for they had someone protecting them from above.

This burly man, looking at Ning Wan’s angry face, continued, "You’re not paying the 12,000 yuan for nothing. Without this treatment, do you think you could look as beautiful as you do now?"

At those words, Ning Wan was so angry she couldn’t find the words to argue. Their blatant extortion was outrageous—what did her beauty have to do with getting her hair done? It was because she knew how to take care of herself!

The surrounding onlookers also frowned upon this man, muttering under their breath, but none dared to have a direct confrontation. They were fine with watching a spectacle, but standing up against him meant risking their own interests. If they antagonized him and he called in the mob, where would they be?

Thus, they were all silently fuming with anger.

"If your dad had shot you on the wall back then, we wouldn’t be dealing with an idiot like you now."

A calm voice floated from behind. The burly man was startled, and the people around couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing such a remark.

That was a harsh comment, but extremely satisfying!

Ning Wan was taken aback but then saw Li Chen walking over to them, and she couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

"Son-in-law, you’re here?"

Li Chen had been planning to walk over with a very cool, very dashing demeanor, but Ning Wan’s words almost made him trip and fall. Damn, when did he become the son-in-law?

It seemed that no matter what, Ning Wan was always thinking of him.

The burly man turned with a sneer, and upon spotting Li Chen, tilted his head with a crackling sound, "Kid, you got a death wish? Don’t you have eyes to see where you are?"

"I see very clearly, this is ’Scam and Deceive Styling Salon,’ and there’s an idiot standing right in front of me." Li Chen said seriously, prompting another round of laughter from the crowd. It was truly a thrill to see someone stand up to them with such nerve.

"Brother Guang, leave this guy to us." Two underlings were furious; insulting Brother Guang was like insulting them. How could they tolerate that?

Could they bear this?

Brother Guang nodded, his eyes still fixed on Li Chen. The two lackeys rolled up their sleeves and clenched their fists, ready to show off with smirks on their faces. Their moment to shine had finally come.

The two charged forward, fists raised, while the onlookers behind them grew worried. Wouldn’t this guy get hurt?

"Ah!" Suddenly, the fierce shouting of the two men turned into screams of pain as Li Chen grabbed both their oncoming fists with just one hand. Their fists seemed to be under a fierce grip, crushed as if they were on the verge of breaking in Li Chen’s grasp!

In agony, the two men’s bodies bent, and Li Chen flung them aside. The two lackeys tumbled to the ground.

"Great!"

The surrounding crowd erupted in cheer, and Ning Wan looked at Li Chen with increasing satisfaction. Her future son-in-law was truly different, with skills to boot. Xinxin really had an eye for talent.

Brother Fei clenched his hands and smirked, "Good, you’re worth me taking action."

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than he saw the figure flash before his eyes, Li Chen had already come up to him, and then a punch came smashing straight at him.

Simple, no fancy moves, and after that punch, Brother Fei seemed not to have reacted at all, watching Li Chen nonchalantly retract his fist, then walk past him.

The onlooking crowd, who had seen the initially imposing Brother Fei suddenly freeze, couldn’t help but express their surprise, and at this moment, Li Chen walked away with Ning Wan amidst them. It wasn’t until Li Chen had left that the motionless Brother Fei suddenly collapsed!

"Damn!"

The spectators let out a gasp of shock, some looking enviously in the direction where Li Chen had disappeared, definitely a master there, why hadn’t they taken a video, such a pity.

On Li Chen’s part, he walked down the street with Ning Wan, feeling very uncomfortable.

Why? Because all along the way, Ning Wan kept looking him over, nodding frequently.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Li Chen asked, "If you’re okay, I need to leave first."

He really couldn’t stand Ning Wan’s enthusiasm, and to be honest, she was indeed very pretty and well-maintained, appearing to be only in her thirties, and walking with Yang Xin, they could be mistaken for sisters, which was extraordinary.

"Ah, Li Chen, you helped me, and I haven’t even thanked you yet, how can you just think of leaving?" Aunt Ning said dissatisfiedly.

"Uh, Aunt Ning, I really have something to do."

Ning Wan grabbed Li Chen’s arm: "I haven’t properly thanked you yet. How about this, you haven’t had dinner at my place yet, you can come home with me for dinner today, Xinxin is there too, let it be my way of saying thanks."

"Auntie, I’ve already had dinner." Li Chen said helplessly, the last time he had dinner, he hadn’t tasted anything at all, bombarded by Ning Wan’s questions, he was too occupied answering to pay attention to food.

"You’ve already eaten? No matter, having another meal won’t hurt." Ning Wan smiled slightly, then pulled Li Chen, heading straight to her residence.

"--."

It looked like he couldn’t escape her this time, and Li Chen could only agree.

Seeing Li Chen agree, Ning Wan became even more enthusiastic, saying, "Xinxin is here this time too, you guys can have a good chat."

Li Chen could only smile wryly and nod, the implication in her words couldn’t be clearer, she was suggesting Li Chen woo her daughter.

Ah, why are mothers so eager to marry off their daughters?

Can’t figure it out, really can’t.

Before long, Ning Wan led Li Chen to the door, took out the keys, and opened the front door.

"Mom, you’re back."

As soon as the door opened, a voice came from inside, and then Yang Xin, wearing only a bikini, walked straight out.

Seeing Yang Xin holding clothes, clad only in a bikini, Ning Wan was stunned, and Li Chen was even more flabbergasted.

Damn, Yang Xin’s figure, top-notch!

Yang Xin was also taken aback, looking at Li Chen and Ning Wan, who were staring at her in shock, and she suddenly realized, her face flushing red instantly, then hurriedly ran off!

Embarrassed to death, truly embarrassed to death, why did Li Chen have to show up suddenly, and with her mother, no less.

Yang Xin’s face was burning hot, Li Chen must have seen her just now.
