My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 678 - 667 This Brother-in-Law is Up to No Good

Li Yuanyuan, after hearing her mother’s strong insistence on the phone, finally decided to call Su Xuan. She wanted him to come over for dinner at her house, so her parents could meet him and decide if they liked him and if they could continue dating. If they didn’t approve, Li Yuanyuan wouldn’t mind their opinions.

"Is it really that urgent?"

Su Xuan was hesitant, feeling comfortable meeting a beauty, but visiting Li Yuanyuan’s parents made him instantly uneasy.

"Well, if you can come, then come; if not, forget it."

Li Yuanyuan was still hoping Su Xuan would come.

"Alright, I’ll come."

Before going, Su Xuan bought a new suit at a boutique, which made him look refreshed. Even the young female clerk at the boutique was smitten, persistently asking for his WeChat contact for future communication.

Su Xuan quickly drove off; being handsome sometimes brought troubles too.

When Su Xuan arrived at Li Yuanyuan’s home, Li Yuanyuan was anxiously looking around downstairs. Seeing Su Xuan, she hurriedly waved him over.

Su Xuan also brought some gifts, which was necessary to please his future mother-in-law.

"You should have come empty-handed, they just want to see you as a person, not what you buy."

Li Yuanyuan chided him as she took the gifts from his hands.

They took the elevator upstairs. Li Yuanyuan’s parents knew Su Xuan was coming and had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

After Su Xuan entered, he saw both parents were very kind. Li Yuanyuan resembled her mother a bit, showing her mother must have been a beauty in her youth too.

"Mom, this is Su Xuan."

Li Yuanyuan warmly introduced him at her side.

Standing at six feet tall, with a sunny handsome face, and dressed in his newly bought suit, he looked absolutely vibrant; Li Yuanyuan’s parents gave Su Xuan a perfect score in their impression.

"Please sit, please sit."

Li Yuanyuan’s mother was very enthusiastic, almost already accepting Su Xuan as her son-in-law, and Li Yuanyuan’s father found him very satisfactory, noting his youthful handsomeness.

"Su Xuan, how long have you and Yuanyuan known each other? Do you have any plans to get married?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Li Yuanyuan shyly said, giving her mother a glare.

"Hello, uncle and auntie. I’m still working on stabilizing my career, so I don’t have any plans to marry just yet."

"I see."

Yuanyuan’s mother was somewhat disappointed, and Li Yuanyuan felt a bit down, but she thought, the longer they spent together before marriage, the more they could discover about each other’s faults. A long pre-marriage adaptation period could be a good thing.

"Who else is in your family?"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother asked as she served some dishes to Su Xuan with the communal chopsticks.

"No one else, just me."

Hearing this, Li Yuanyuan’s mother felt a bit unhappy. Generally, a child of his age usually has financial support from their parents. If Su Xuan no longer had parents, then he probably didn’t have much money; recalling the BMW 5 Series he drove the night before, she started having a bad thought – that car might belong to his boss. Although it was only around five hundred thousand, if he didn’t have parents, her daughter might lead a difficult life if she married him.

Wanting their daughter to have a happy future was a natural feeling for parents.

"What car do you drive?"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother, like a private investigator, didn’t let any question slide.

Li Yuanyuan’s mother was particularly interested in this question, for if Su Xuan didn’t even have his own car, then she should seriously consider her daughter’s marital prospects.

"I drive a sedan, usually not very new ones."

Su Xuan replied slowly. Indeed, the cars he drove belonged to Liu Feilong’s subordinates. Since Liu Feilong had died, no one cared about those cars, and Su Xuan had conveniently borrowed them to drive without other objections.

Li Yuanyuan’s mother’s face turned sour, having initially hoped her future son-in-law was wealthy. But finding out he usually drove second-hand cars dampened her spirits, as used cars obviously aren’t brand new. freēwēbnovel.com

Li Yuanyuan’s mother had worried that night Su Xuan drove either his boss’s car or a depreciated used car; the outcome she most feared turned out to be true.

"I see ..."

Li Yuanyuan noticed a change in her mother’s attitude but didn’t suspect her mother’s mood would shift over such a trivial matter.

At that moment, Su Xuan’s phone suddenly rang. Wanting to appear more like family, he didn’t step away to anwser it but instead took the call openly at the dining table.

Su Xuan was more anxious, noticing the call was from Tang Sisi. Answering it aside would definitely create suspicions among Li Yuanyuan’s family, as if avoiding them while on the call now, how could he manage secrets when married?

"Hello, what’s up?"

Sweat broke out on Su Xuan’s face as it was a critical moment to receive a call from a woman; moreover, it was the softly speaking Tang Sisi. He dared not ignore it, fearing it might be something urgent.

"Su Xuan, after thinking it over, I still want to give you those three hundred thousand. I can’t accept your money."

"Just do as I told you. Consider those three hundred thousand as part of your loss. I told you that amount isn’t enough. I’ll send more when I need it."

Su Xuan hung up quickly, worried that talking too much with a woman on the phone might cause misgivings among Li Yuanyuan’s family.

Hearing Su Xuan’s words on the phone, Li Yuanyuan’s mother’s lips twitched. Just a moment ago, Su Xuan had mentioned three hundred thousand as if it was a small amount; what then would be considered a huge amount?

"It turns out Su Xuan is a hidden rich and handsome man!" Li Yuanyuan’s mother was somewhat stirred, grateful that she hadn’t dismissed Su Xuan as a poor man, which would have been a grave mistake.

Li Yuanyuan’s mother cautiously asked, "Was that your secretary who called you just now?"

Su Xuan was just concocting an excuse, and gladly took the hint, continuing, "Yes, the company is busy, and my secretary needed to consult me on some important matters."

"As it should be, as it should be."

Li Yuanyuan’s mother couldn’t stay calm. Although Su Xuan no longer had any family, he did have money. If Su Xuan were to marry her daughter, she thought he could dedicate himself entirely to the Li Family, pretty much as her own son. Li Yuanyuan’s mother was quite pleased with her calculations.

"Mom, stop asking Su Xuan so many questions, let him eat more dishes."

Li Yuanyuan complained, upset that her mother was grilling their rare visitor as if conducting an interrogation, hardly letting him eat.

"Su Xuan has his own company, being a big boss is a good thing. Su Xuan, what’s the name of your company?"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother had just stopped when the old father began his offensive.

"This..."

Su Xuan had casually mentioned earlier that his secretary had called, but now being asked to name his company was rather awkward.

After thinking hard for a while and unable to come up with a company with large cash flow, Su Xuan finally bit the bullet and said, "It’s a credit company."

"A credit company?"

The old couple knew all too well about those dealing with cash. A few people could make a small company, and the reason they were so familiar was that their son Li Chengcheng was addicted to gambling, often borrowing high-interest loans causing his parents to repay them. They had scrimped and saved just recently to settle the last batch of debts, without which he might have been beaten to death.

Despite Su Xuan casually mentioning such a company, the old couple still felt aversion.

Li Yuanyuan naturally hadn’t heard about Su Xuan having any company, but what she liked was the person himself, not his money, since that could be earned later.

"Aren’t credit companies tough to manage?"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother asked awkwardly, already quite displeased. Generally, people who ran credit companies were considered thugs or lowlifes, and she certainly didn’t want her daughter mixing with such people.

Hearing another question, Su Xuan could only continue, "The credit company is just one of them. I have hotels and more."

Su Xuan’s words astounded everyone.

Li Yuanyuan’s mother gaped, forgetting to continue eating, while Li Yuanyuan’s father’s eyes also glazed over, not expecting their future son-in-law to be so impressive.

"Here, Su Xuan, eat more, feel like you’re at home here, don’t be shy."

Seeing Su Xuan’s large family business, Li Yuanyuan’s mother’s attitude noticeably improved.

Just as everyone was almost finished eating, suddenly someone rushed through the door. He wore a leather jacket and hurried inside, ignoring the stranger in the house and went to rummage through Li Yuanyuan’s parents’ room.

"Mom and Dad, where did you hide your salary card?"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother’s face turned ice cold instantly, "What salary card? You’ve squandered it all and you still have the nerve to come back?"

"Mom, I owe money outside, they will kill me if I don’t pay."

The young man was twenty years old, named Li Chengcheng, and was Li Yuanyuan’s younger brother who had a particular fondness for gambling.

"This is my brother."

Li Yuanyuan whispered to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded, understanding the boy probably lacked parental care from a young age since both of Li Yuanyuan’s parents were teachers and rarely had time to educate him alone.

"Is there any money left in the house? If not, I’m taking the property deed."

Saying this, he rummaged under the bed and really pulled out a bundle with the property deed.

"You brute!"

Li Yuanyuan’s father erupted, rushing over to hit his son.

Bang!

"Get lost, you old fool. You gave birth to me and now can’t support me, so stop bossing me around."

Li Chengcheng, holding the property deed, ran towards the door.

"Chengcheng, stop making trouble!"

Li Yuanyuan caught her brother at the doorway. If the property deed were mortgaged, their parents would lose their place to live.

"Sis, mind your own business, let go, or I’ll hit you too!"

Li Yuanyuan stubbornly gripped her brother’s clothes.

"Get lost!"

Li Chengcheng violently pushed Li Yuanyuan away; she stumbled, but Su Xuan caught her.

Just as Li Chengcheng was about to leave satisfied with the property deed, a strong hand firmly grabbed his shoulder, rendering him immobile.

"Who are you? Let go of me, or I’ll hit you too!"

Li Chengcheng turned around, facing Su Xuan.

He struggled a few times but failed to break free, then yelled at Li Yuanyuan’s mother, "Who is he, who brought this rogue here?"

Slap!

Su Xuan slapped him across the face.

Li Chengcheng, who had never been hit before, stared at Su Xuan in shock, furious and wanting to hit back, but he still couldn’t move.

"He’s not an outsider, he’s your brother-in-law!"

Li Yuanyuan’s mother cried out, overwhelmed by her prodigal son.

Li Yuanyuan was helpless with her hopelessly misguided brother, who used to always borrow money for gambling, but now was directly taking the property deed.
