My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1361 - 1362: Does He Need to Ask Others for Help?

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1362: Does He Need to Ask Others for Help?

"You’re being way too excessive, aren’t you?"

Qu Zhenjun frowned as he spoke.

"Excessive?"

Xiao Chen shot Qu Zhenjun an icy glance and said, "If someone insulted your wife, would you kneel like a dog?"

"Let me give you a piece of advice: Jiang Meng is my wife. Don’t try anything shady."

"Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you’re Qu Hongbo’s grandson or Qu Hongbo himself—if I want to beat you up, I’ll do it."

"You!"

Qu Zhenjun was somewhat stunned. In this day and age, there were still people so reckless?

Someone who dared taunt him in this way.

"Young Master Qu, you heard that, didn’t you? This punk is so arrogant. Just make him leave, get rid of him quickly."

Shang Teng shouted loudly, "This kind of place isn’t somewhere for lunatics like him."

"Young Master Qu, let it go. Shang Teng’s words were too harsh; if it were me, I’d react the same way."

To everyone’s surprise, Shang Teng actually spoke up for Xiao Chen, saying, "Besides, he’s here accompanying my third aunt. When my third aunt was a child, Elder Qu even looked after her. Don’t strain the relationships."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Shang Teng suddenly taking his side—what was he trying to do?

But on this grand birthday celebration, something was bound to happen.

He smiled faintly. Another interesting event was about to unfold.

"Shang Teng, are you running a fever or something? Why would you defend that stray kid? Even though Third Aunt returned to our Shang Family, he’s just an adopted mutt."

Shang Teng didn’t look pleased at all.

"Less nonsense—it won’t kill you. Or do you want another beating?"

Shang Teng glared at Shang Teng.

Shang Teng immediately shut his mouth. Xiao Chen’s slap earlier had sent him spinning—it wasn’t mild by any standard.

That had truly been painful.

"Zhenjun, let’s go inside. I have something to discuss with you!"

Qu Zhenye pulled Qu Zhenjun by the hand and led him into the residence.

As they left, Qu Zhenjun glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Today is my grandfather’s seventieth birthday. You’d better not cause trouble, or neither the Xinmeng Group nor the Shang Family will be able to save you."

After they departed, Shang Teng and Shang Teng also left.

Bai Duo’er smiled at Xiao Chen, while Jun Moxie bowed slightly before turning to leave.

In front of outsiders, they were careful not to display too much familiarity—they preferred to keep their relationships understated.

The Shang Family’s guests from Tonghua City had truly come in droves, even Elder Madam Shang herself was present, along with Shang Minghui, Shang Qingguo, Shang Qingyu, and the family’s youngest son, Shang Mingde.

At this moment, Shang Qingguo and Shang Luoying were gathered together, chatting.

They were merely part of a Bronze Aristocrat Family, barely qualified to mingle with the Qu family’s female relatives thanks to the Shang Clan’s influence.

Shang Qingyu remained as sharp and straightforward as ever.

Seeing Shang Qingcheng arrive, she quickly walked over to greet her.

Within the Shang Family, the relationship between these two sisters couldn’t be closer.

As for Shang Qingguo, Shang Minghui, and the others, it was a completely different story.

Especially Shang Qingguo—she gazed at Xiao Chen as though she wanted to devour him whole. Her hatred for Xiao Chen ran incredibly deep.

Xiao Chen, unmoved by her hostility, simply greeted Shang Qingyu and ignored the rest.

They gathered around, snacking on sunflower seeds and chatting away.

No one paid much attention; after all, the place was packed with people.

Sitting there, Xiao Chen noticed something interesting—most guests merely offered gifts, grabbed a drink, and left.

Not even Qu Hongbo himself had been seen.

Qu Hongbo’s reputation truly carried tremendous weight.

But it made sense—many of the people here hadn’t even received invitations. Their attendance was purely voluntary.

After all, currying favor with Qu Hongbo might grant them a reprieve should they ever offend him.

These folks didn’t even qualify for a seat at the tea table.

Of course, Xiao Chen was riding on the coattails of Jiang Meng and his mother Shang Qingcheng.

"Elder Qu sure is putting on airs. So many people came, and he doesn’t even show his face—what a joke."

Xiao Chen commented unhappily.

Jiang Meng and Shang Qingcheng simply gave bitter smiles; they knew Xiao Chen has no filter and said nothing further.

Shang Qingyu, however, quickly covered Xiao Chen’s mouth and said, "Are you insane? Criticizing Elder Qu? If someone overhears, you’ll lose your life!"

Just as Xiao Chen was about to retort, someone walked over.

With righteous indignation, they glared at Xiao Chen and said, "Kneel and apologize!"

"Apologies! He didn’t mean anything by it; he just talks too recklessly."

Shang Qingyu hurried to explain.

*Smack!*

To everyone’s shock, the man slapped Shang Qingyu across the face. "Woman, shut your mouth—I’m speaking to him!"

Shang Qingyu held her cheek, quietly nursing her grievance but too afraid to argue back.

She recognized this man; he was a department manager with the Heijie Security Company named Zhang Wei.

Heijie Security Company held considerable power in Heijie City—their people weren’t to be trifled with.

As she tried to say more, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up.

He grabbed Zhang Wei by the neck and followed up with a punch.

Bloodied teeth flew from Zhang Wei’s mouth.

And Xiao Chen didn’t stop there. "You dare hit my second aunt? You’re asking to die!"

Though Shang Qingyu often teased him, her care and kindness towards his mother meant Xiao Chen would never allow her to be bullied.

"How dare you!"

As Zhang Wei tried to speak, Xiao Chen’s fist struck again.

Punch after punch rained down until Zhang Wei was too beaten to even form words.

Nearby spectators were utterly rattled.

"Stop this immediately!"

A group of Heijie Security Company personnel rushed forward; more than ten of them had come today.

Xiao Chen didn’t even flinch, coldly throwing Zhang Wei over the courtyard wall. "Step in again, and I’ll kill you!"

All other issues were negotiable, but insults and harm toward his family? Unacceptable.

The group hesitated—they wanted to act, but fear stopped them. Zhang Wei was no weakling, and yet he’d been treated like a ragdoll by Xiao Chen.

"Get out, all of you! Or I’ll throw you out one by one."

Xiao Chen said coldly.

"You’re dead meat!"

One of the security men charged forward in rage.

But Xiao Chen met him with a single kick.

That man was sent flying.

A miserable cry echoed from outside.

The other security personnel were thoroughly spooked and fled in panic.

"Xiao Chen, you’re in massive trouble."

Shang Qingyu said bitterly, "That was Heijie Security Company—they’re all Jianghu figures. You don’t stand a chance."

"Second Aunt, don’t worry—it’ll be fine. If trouble arises, it’ll be Heijie Security’s problem, not mine."

Xiao Chen chuckled.

Seeing this group of lackeys, how could he not understand Heijie Security’s true nature?

If they dared harm him or his family, he’d destroy them without hesitation.

Shang Qingyu sighed, "You’ve clearly never suffered any real setbacks. Fine, fine. At least our family has some connections with the Qu family. I’ll ask Elder Qu to shield you. Sigh."

Xiao Chen didn’t respond.

Would he ever need someone else’s protection?

As morning turned to afternoon, most guests had given their gifts and left.

Only then did Elder Qu finally show up, fashionably late.
