My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 865 - 866: The Position of Family Head

Chapter 865: Chapter 866: The Position of Family Head

Xiao Enze smiled and said, "I’m giving you friendly advice here, don’t dismiss a good intention as if it’s worthless. My youngest son is the one who has made it the furthest in our Xiao Family."

He had only recently found out that his son, Xiao Chen, was actually the renowned Dragon Country War God.

This news had shocked him for quite a while.

However, he knew that Xiao Chen didn’t want others to know because otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to live an ordinary life.

So he wouldn’t tell anyone about it.

He was only giving Xiao Gang a subtle hint.

Unfortunately, Xiao Gang didn’t care at all. He sneered and said, "That’s really funny, a son-in-law who came through marriage has turned out to be the most outstanding son? Do you really expect everyone in the Xiao Family to start living off their wives?"

"My good brother, believe it or not, that’s up to you, but I still have to warn you. Xiao Chen is going to revive the Xiao Family someday. It doesn’t matter if you’re acting up now. I won’t blame you, but make sure you don’t take things too far. Otherwise, you’ll regret it," said Xiao Enze.

"Well, you can rest assured. Xiao Chen is still my nephew after all. I won’t be too harsh on him. But I am determined enough to embarrass him. You said this son-in-law is going to be key to rejuvenating the Xiao Family, right? Then, I’ll let you see how he makes a fool of himself at my daughter’s wedding," Xiao Gang replied.

The more Xiao Enze talked up Xiao Chen’s abilities, the more Xiao Gang wanted to humiliate him.

It was entirely a form of venting.

Actually, Xiao Gang wasn’t malevolent by nature, it was just that he had become somewhat opportunistic after enduring many hard days.

He wouldn’t hurt Xiao Chen, but he was absolutely determined to make Xiao Chen lose face, as a way to get back at Xiao Enze.

"I advise you not to invite him to the wedding. If he goes, I reckon he’ll steal the show," advised Xiao Enze.

He could imagine that kind of scene all too well.

The arrival of the Dragon Country War God—who else could compare with him?

Unfortunately, Xiao Gang couldn’t fathom that. He didn’t believe there was anyone in the world who could outshine his daughter or son-in-law.

That day, Xiao Enze called Xiao Chen: "Son, give your uncle some face. After all, he is your uncle. Don’t humiliate them too much."

"Dad, I didn’t plan to make them feel humiliated. I’ve prepared a very generous gift for Yu Lan. After all, I am essentially family to Yu Lan. She is marrying Li Chengde, and I need to let that guy know that no one can bully our family’s Yu Lan," Xiao Chen replied with a smile.

"It’s good that you’re not angry. Although it wasn’t our fault that the Xiao Family fell, the objective truth is that we failed to protect the Xiao Family, which led your uncle’s family to suffer. It’s normal for them to resent us, but your uncle is not a bad person at heart. If you can lend a hand, do so. Don’t let him sink too deep into the mire," Xiao Enze said.

"Alright, I got it, Dad. By the way, aren’t you guys coming?" Xiao Chen asked.

"We won’t be going. Xiao Gang doesn’t want to see us. You just prepare a gift for Yu Lan on our behalf," Xiao Enze replied.

"Okay, then."

Xiao Chen nodded. The father and son chatted for a while longer before hanging up the call.

"Was that Dad’s call?"

At that moment, Jiang Meng came over with a plate of sliced apples and asked.

"Yeah, Mengmeng, when do you think we should also have our own wedding? Just quietly, this wedding has got the whole Zhili Prefecture in motion," Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"There’s no need. As long as I have you, I’m content," Jiang Meng said, stuffing a piece of apple into Xiao Chen’s mouth and smiling, "Even without a wedding, I feel like the happiest woman in the world."

"That won’t do. We must have one. Once we enter the capital, I will definitely organize a grand wedding for you. I can’t let you be wronged," Xiao Chen was determined.

He was determined to have a wedding, but not just any wedding. It had to be after they entered the capital, something grand and celebrated in style.

At that moment, Liu Hong’s call came in: "Boss, they want to hold the wedding at our hotel. Should we agree to it?"

"Agree, of course, we must agree, and we must prepare wholeheartedly, after all, that is the wedding of my one and only cousin, we cannot let her down!"

Xiao Chen said.

"In that case, Boss, why not simply let them hold the wedding on Lake Heart Island? That place is even more impressive than the Venus Hotel."

Liu Hong suggested.

"That’s a great idea, given that Jiang Meng and I aren’t currently living there, and Zhang Qi and the others have gone to Xiongcheng City.

Alright, that settles it. You recommend it to them, just say that the owner of Lake Heart Island is a friend of Miss Xiao Yulan and is willing to lend out Lake Heart Island.

Also, tell them I will definitely attend the wedding, but don’t reveal my identity for now."

Xiao Chen said.

"Understood!"

Liu Hong hung up the phone and relayed the matter to Xiao Yulan and Li Chengde.

At that time, Xiao Gang and his wife had also arrived at Blue Sea.

When they heard what Liu Hong said, they were thrilled.

"Lake Heart Island, that was once a place monopolized by the Bihai Club, known as the most luxurious place in Blue Sea. If we could hold a wedding there, it would certainly be the wedding of the century."

Xiao Gang was extremely excited.

Li Chengde gladly accepted, "This must be an attempt to curry favor with our March Group, which is why they are willing to lend it out!"

"Who exactly is the owner of Lake Heart Island?"

Xiao Yulan couldn’t help asking.

"He is a friend of yours. He said he would also come on the day of the wedding. Then, you will know who it is."

Liu Hong said with a smile.

Having said that, he went to make the preparations.

Soon, the final day arrived, and after tonight, the official wedding would take place tomorrow.

Guests from afar had mostly arrived at Blue Sea and settled into the hotel.

"Daughter, you have truly made your father proud this time, you’ve brought honor to the Xiao family!"

Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Yulan, tears streaming from his excitement.

Xiao Yulan couldn’t bring herself to smile.

But seeing her father so happy, she forced a smile.

Her parents had done so much for her.

Even if it was just so her parents could have a better life in the future, she would endure, even though Li Chengde was not the man she liked.

Even though she was not happy at heart.

Many people from the Xiao family came, all constantly trying to ingratiate themselves with Xiao Gang’s family.

"Xiao Gang, why not simply let Xiao Enze hand over the position of Family Head to you? With you around, the Xiao Family has status and the possibility of revival.

Yulan’s marriage to Li Chengde, to the March Group, makes all of us in the Xiao Family shine with reflected glory.

After all, even at our most prosperous, we couldn’t compare to a thousandth of the March Group!"

"That’s right, Xiao Gang, after the wedding, we’ll accompany you to talk to Xiao Enze. We won’t be afraid that he won’t give up the position of Family Head."

Xiao Yulan felt uneasy as she listened on the side.

Does it really have to be like this?

A family torn apart and turned into enemies?

But she didn’t want to object.

She felt so tired.

Sitting there, she turned on the television and watched aimlessly, waiting for time to pass.

Li Chengde had gone to socialize.

Many distinguished guests from South Korea, from the March Group, had come, and in Li Chengde’s eyes, those people were far more important than Xiao Yulan.

Sometimes, Xiao Yulan couldn’t help but wonder, what was the significance of her wedding?

Purely for show?

Or a March Group celebration?

She didn’t know, but she knew she was not happy.
