Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law-Chapter 44 - 0 Adult Transactions

Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror before you even think about stealing Jun Chen’s credit!”

“I see you’re just jealous of Jun Chen!

And I suppose it’s understandable.

After all, even an outsider like Jun Chen can lend Jingting a helping hand, but what about you?

As Jingting’s husband, you can’t even be counted on to do anything.

You’re simply useless!”

Chen Xuan clenched his fists in fury.

Ding Lijuan would rather believe an outsider like Meng Junchen than her own son-in-law, plunging him into profound disappointment with his mother-in-law!

“Alright, Mom, that’s enough,” Jingting interrupted, concerned that the conflict would escalate.

“I had a drink earlier, please take me to the company,” Jingting pleaded, pulling on Chen Xuan’s arm.

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan dropped Han Jingting off at the base of the Han Corporation building.

“Jingting, don’t be fooled by Meng Junchen.

He’s not a good person at all!” Chen Xuan felt he had to warn her.

However, Han Jingting seemed hesitant, eventually saying, “Chen Xuan, I know you want to help too, it’s just that…”

Of course, Chen Xuan understood what Han Jingting meant.

Just like Ding Lijuan, she trusted Meng Junchen more!

“I get it,” Chen Xuan said with a bitter smile as he nodded.

Indeed, he should have never had any illusions about that woman in the first place.

On his way home, Chen Xuan received another call from Han Jingting.

“There was a notice in Xiaoyu’s class group earlier.

There’s going to be a parent association meeting tonight.

I need to supervise the shipping tonight, so you go on my behalf, will you?”

To everyone else, Chen Xuan, who couldn’t be counted on for important matters, seemed just right for such trivial tasks.

That evening, Chen Xuan took Xiaoyu to the parent association meeting.

The kindergarten Xiaoyu attended was of a high caliber, with tuition fees reaching fifteen thousand a term—by Huai City standards, it was certainly a school for the elite.

The parent association meeting was held at Kaiyue Garden Hotel.

Unlike normal hotels, Kaiyue Garden is a manor-style establishment, and the venue for the association meeting was chosen to be on the manor’s lawn, resembling a Western-style cocktail party.

Truthfully, Chen Xuan didn’t like such social events, but he attended for Xiaoyu’s sake.

There was a dedicated play area for the children, and as soon as Xiaoyu arrived, she ran off to play with the other kids, leaving Chen Xuan alone.

Though it was called a parent association meeting, it was really just an opportunity created by the school for parents to expand their social networks.

After all, the families that could afford such an exclusive school were all quite well-off; forming connections with people who could benefit them was of immense advantage to the parents.

So, one could witness a unique scene at the association meeting, where some individuals were surrounded by a large crowd offering toasts—these were the high-ranking or successful attendees.

Others, however, were completely forgotten to the side, attracting no attention whatsoever.

Without a doubt, Chen Xuan was one of the latter!

Fortunately, Chen Xuan never enjoyed networking, so he was content to be by himself.

Even so, Chen Xuan still overheard some discordant voices nearby.

“Who is that guy over there?

I saw him come in a Mercedes, should we go over and get to know him?”

“You don’t know who he is, do you?

He’s Chen Xiaoyu’s dad!”

“Chen Xiaoyu’s dad?

Isn’t that the Han Family’s live-in son-in-law?”

“I thought he was somebody formidable, but it turns out he just drove his wife’s car over.”

“Forget it, a man living off his wife, we don’t need to bother getting to know him.”

“You’re right, haha…”

All these words reached Chen Xuan’s ears, but he pretended not to hear.

After all, he had heard such taunts countless times over the years, a few more made no difference.

Just then, a man and a woman carrying wine glasses came up to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan didn’t know them, but he could tell they were not ordinary, as they were the most sought after by the parents at the cocktail party.

“Hello, you must be Mr.

Chen, right?

Let me introduce myself, my name is Fong Rong, Chairman of Rongsheng Pharmaceutical.

This is my spouse, Yao Gaosheng, Director of the Huai City Medical Bureau!”

Fong Rong introduced herself with brimming confidence.

Yao Gaosheng, by her side, although silent, had arrogance written all over his face.

A director and a chairman, Chen Xuan now understood why they were so popular.

However, it was surprising to him that such popular figures would take the initiative to greet him.

“Oh, hello,” Chen Xuan replied casually.

Fong Rong gave a slight smile and said, “Next month, the kindergarten will be holding a cultural evening.

Our class will perform a dance, you should be aware of that, Mr.

Chen?”

Chen Xuan nodded, “Hmm, Xiaoyu mentioned it.”

Xiaoyu had been excited about the performance and was proud to be the lead dancer.

Then Fong Rong continued, “To be honest, we came here to see if you could persuade your daughter to give up the position of lead dancer to my Mengmin!”

Chen Xuan laughed bitterly out of sheer frustration, wondering if he had heard wrong.

“The decision for lead dancer was made by the school, and besides, Xiaoyu really enjoys being the lead dancer, so sorry, I can’t do that.”

“Mr.

Chen, you don’t have to rush your decision.”

Fong Rong raised her hand, smiled, and interrupted Chen Xuan, “If I’m not mistaken, your spouse works at Han Corporation, right?

It just so happens that Rongsheng has always collaborated with Han Corporation, and my dear Yao is in charge of the pharmaceutical sector.”

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing special, just that I wanted to discuss with you.

If you could let Mengmin take the position of lead dancer, it would be beneficial for both you and your wife…”

Although Fong Rong had not spelled it out, Chen Xuan already understood her insinuation.

Fong Rong was trying to use their collaboration with Han Corporation to exchange for Xiaoyu’s position as lead dancer!

Chen Xuan had never imagined that what was a trivial matter for children could be linked to financial interests, even to the extent of using it for a bargain!

He felt utterly disgusted from the bottom of his heart!

“Sorry, I won’t trade my daughter’s happiness for such benefits!

And let me advise you, don’t bring the ways of adults into the world of children.

To their innocent world, that is a corruption!”

“You…”

Fong Rong was at a loss for words, clearly not expecting Chen Xuan to be so impervious.

At this moment, Yao Gaosheng, who had been silent till now, snorted coldly.

“Just a live-in son-in-law living off his wife, and you have the cheek to take the moral high ground in front of me!

You go back and ask Jingting if she dares to talk to me like that!”

Yao Gaosheng’s words were impatient, filled with his sense of official authority.
