My Son-in-law Is A War God

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1322 Xiao Bai, The Scheming Wolf

When Shang Qingcheng and Xiao Chen returned to the Xiao Family’s home, Shang Qingcheng’s older sister Shang Qingyu and her brother-in-law Zhang Luo had already arrived.

With Elder Madam Shang having many children, after giving birth to her youngest son, there was no one left to care for Shang Qingcheng.

At that time, Shang Qingcheng was only two or three years old.

Left with no choice, Shang Qingyu took on the responsibility of taking care of Shang Qingcheng, a commitment that lasted more than a decade.

As a result, the two sisters were extremely close.

Even now, when Shang Qingcheng was expelled from the family by Elder Madam Shang, the two sisters still frequently met in secret.

Moreover, Shang Qingcheng had provided substantial financial support to the not-so-wealthy Zhang Family.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why have you come?"

Shang Qingcheng asked curiously.

"Asking us why we’ve come – what are you thinking, child? How could you agree to such a thing? Are you confident about it?

Are you relying on Xiao Enze, or on your precious son Xiao Chen?"

Shang Qingyu said irritably: "Yes, your eldest son is now the manager of Xiao Corporation’s Capital City branch, with an annual income of a million.

But even so, that’s still too little.

You actually dared to wager this courtyard, if it’s lost, your son won’t be able to buy it back."

Zhang Luo sat there silently.

The Zhang Family was just an ordinary family; he ran a small company, earning about three hundred thousand a year, quite a lot better than the average person.

But compared to the Shang Family, there was still a world of difference.

Because Shang Qingyu married him, she was also neglected by her family, but since he once saved the Old Madam by chance, Shang Qingyu was not expelled from the family.

Shang Qingyu often said that life is pretty good now, and there is no need to care about other people’s opinions.

But in his heart, he still felt somewhat sorry for Shang Qingyu, unable to lift his head every time he went to the Shang Family.

"Sister, don’t you want them to respect you?"

Shang Qingcheng said: "In fact, we are quite happy, but every time we go back home, we have to look at others’ faces, it’s too humiliating.

Brother-in-law, don’t you want to expand your company?

Moreover, I am Mother’s daughter, and that will never change. She might have been heartless, but she bore me after ten months of pregnancy and raised me. Once I regain my identity, I can often visit Mother.

That way, she won’t be left uncared for and pass away."

"That’s true, but the threshold for Tianmao Group is so high, your brother-in-law doesn’t know anyone, how are you going to close this deal? If things go wrong, you might not even be able to enter their office."

Shang Qingyu said.

Shang Qingcheng frowned, it was indeed a valid point.

She glanced at Xiao Chen and asked: "Chen’er, do you know anyone at Tianmao Group?"

"No!"

Xiao Chen laughed: "Tianmao Group, this is the first time I’ve heard of it, it can’t be a very famous company."

In his eyes, not even Empire Group was a big deal, let alone Tianmao Group. Did he need to bother getting acquainted with them?

But it was different in the eyes of others.

Shang Qingyu spoke very seriously: "Xiao Chen, why do you cause trouble as soon as you come back? Can’t you be more steady like your elder brother?

Taking on this deal, are you trying to drive your mother mad?"

"It’s not his fault!"

Shang Qingcheng quickly said: "Chen’er was just upset to see me being bullied, so he spoke rashly. Anyway, I’ve already agreed to it. If it really doesn’t work out, maybe I should ask our eldest for help. He’s a manager at Xiao Corporation, so he must know some people from Tianmao Group."

"Alas, a doting mother often spoils her children. Just keep indulging that brat; he’s not even your own flesh and blood!"

Shang Qingyu sighed and looked at Xiao Chen with growing dislike: "Xiao Chen, you’re not planning to ruin your foster mother after finding your biological mother, are you?

She’s never wronged you."

"Sister!"

Shang Qingcheng couldn’t hold back: "Chen’er isn’t like that, please don’t say any more. I’ll take care of this matter."

"Oh my good sister, why are you so foolish? I just don’t understand why you adopted this ungrateful wretch in the first place.

"A decade has passed since I last went home; now that I’ve returned, I seem to bring nothing but trouble."

Shang Qingyu’s words weren’t pleasant, but Xiao Chen wasn’t angry. Instead, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

Leaving home ten years ago and only staying a brief period after returning before heading to Linhai, he indeed owed his family too much.

Even though he arranged his brother’s job, and it was he who hired the house’s servants and security, even though he provided for the household expenses.

But some things cannot be replaced by money.

"Mom, I’m sorry for the difficulties you’ve gone through over the years. From now on, I’ll spend more time with you,"

Xiao Chen said.

"You silly boy, I’ve never blamed you. You’re meant to do great things,"

Shang Qingcheng replied.

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything.

If one can’t even fulfill the basic duties of filial piety, how can they talk about accomplishing great things?

How can one expect to clean up the world without first sweeping one’s own house, and how can one make the world happy when they can’t even do so for their own family?

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Shang Qingcheng touched her knee, her complexion turning rather unsightly.

"Your old problem acting up again?"

Shang Qingyu said: "Xiao Chen, go get your mom’s medicine quickly; her leg was beaten by someone in the past, and it nearly got crippled."

"Right!"

Xiao Chen hurried out to get the medicine, knowing exactly where Shang Qingcheng’s medicine was kept without needing to ask.

At that moment, his heart was filled with rage, wondering who exactly had beaten his mother.

After getting the medicine, he fully intended to get to the bottom of it.

Having returned to the room and applied the medicine to Shang Qingcheng, she felt somewhat better.

"Mom, why didn’t you tell me sooner? The injury on your leg can be cured by a friend of mine. I’ll call him right away to come over,"

Xiao Chen said apologetically.

He hadn’t known about these things when he last returned.

He really had been too careless.

"It’s an old problem now, the doctors have said there’s no cure for it,"

Shang Qingcheng shook her head.

"No, it can definitely be cured. My friend is the finest doctor in Dragon Country, no, the finest in the world. His name is Hua Xian!"

Xiao Chen insisted.

"Would you stop boasting? You know Hua Xian? Even the Old Madam can’t easily acquire his service; are you acquainted with him?"

Shang Qingyu said sarcastically.

Xiao Chen had no time to bicker with her, and just asked: "Who exactly beat my mother, and when did it happen?"

"Sister, don’t tell him!"

Shang Qingcheng shook her head.

"What are you afraid of, will this heartless brat seek vengeance for you?"

Shang Qingyu spoke up: "I’ll tell you, the one who injured your mother is none other than the current Family Head of Shang Clan, Shang Nantian! Shang Nantian pursued your mother in the past.

Although we’re both from the Shang Clan, our branch is just a side line, with the kinship relation being already beyond the fifth-degree of consanguinity.

Therefore, it was naturally possible to get married.

Shang Nantian, finding your mother beautiful and skilled at managing work, wanted to make her join the main family and become his wife.

But your mother was unwilling and instead married Xiao Enze.

Sigh, it was also because of this issue that Elder Madam Shang felt the Shang Family in Capital City missed the best opportunity to rise to power and was extremely angry, consequently banishing your mother from the family.

Of course, another narrative is that Shang Nantian applied pressure and Elder Madam had no choice but to comply."
