Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2012

Inside the palace...

Influential figures from various industries and political parties had already taken their seats.

Everything was ready, and all that was left was for the honored guest to show up.

Prince Duo Li and the other younger royal family members were sitting quietly in the corner of the vast hall.

Every single one of those princes looked grim at that moment.

“That hooligan's too much.”

“Duo Li, who is that punk? I can't believe he is that arrogant. It's bad enough that he offended both you and me, but Prince Savanth is the crown prince! How could that idiot disregard the crown prince?”

The more Duo Li's brother thought about it, the angrier he became. It got to the point where he was cracking his knuckles.

“Calm down, brother. All we have to do is wait until the party is over. After that, we can have someone deal with that punk. I've already asked Xiaoyu about it, and he is a nobody. My guess is that he is just a random gangster,” replied Prince Duo Li to pacify his brother.

“It's not enough to mess with him only. Have someone look into his family. Those idiots raised such a terrible j*rk, and they should be punished for it as well.”

Prince Savanth had a scowl on, and his voice was sinister as he spoke.

Naturally, Duo Li and the others knew exactly what he meant by “punish.”

“Xiaoyu, don't you know the guy? Do you know where his parents are? Prince Savanth wants to know everything about him,” said Duo Li as he turned his attention to Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know anything, however...

“I think my grandpa knows all about it. Let me ask him.”

Zhang Xiaoyu was working hard because, to her, it was an honor to be of service to those princes.

She also wanted to make them happy because even the slightest charity from them would allow her to make it big in the entertainment industry.

That was why Zhang Xiaoyu was quick to get in touch with her grandpa.

“Ah, Xiaoyu. I was about to call you. Did you receive my letter? Did you meet Mr. Chu? How are things between the two of you? Are there any sparks? Are the two of you already in a relationship?”

Zhang Jiuling's voice was overflowing with excitement and anticipation at the moment.

Zhang Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was utterly confused.

“What are you talking about, Grandpa? Who is this Mr. Chu? And why do you want me to be in a relationship with him? Also, I want to ask you something. What is with that letter you sent me? Can you please stop introducing me to random, useless strangers? Ugh, how can a grandpa do that to his granddaughter?”

She continued, “I mean, I know that you have always favored my older sister and never really liked me, but come on. You can't curse your granddaughter to a lifetime of misery for no reason. The idiot who delivered that letter doesn't even have a career, and he is so stupid that he offended some very powerful men. His mistake is so grave that those men want to exact their revenge on him. Seriously,

Grandpa, if you wish the best for your granddaughter, then just tell me everything you know about the guy. Where is he from, and who are his parents? Also, I'd like to know who his close friends are.”

There was a reason Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't kind or polite to her grandfather, Zhang Jiuling, at all.

All those years ago, a number of issues made her leave Jiangbei and go to India on her own. One of those issues was that Zhang Jiuling favored her sister.

Zhang Xiaoyu knew that it'd be difficult for her to get to the top of the food chain if she stayed home, so she left.

That was also why she didn't feel much love or compassion for her own grandfather.

Zhang Jiuling, who was on the other end of the line, instantly became anxious when he heard the news.

“What did you say? Are you saying that someone from India wants to hurt Mr. Chu? That is incredible news, Xiaoyu. This is your chance. Hold on to that opportunity, and I promise that your future will be secured. Listen to me. It doesn't matter who has a thing against Mr. Chu. All you have to do is stand firmly by his side because he has always been someone who is appreciative of those who care about him. If he sees you as an ally, you will be able to rise to the top!” informed Zhang Jiuling excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoyu was extremely perplexed when she heard what he said.

“Grandpa, I think you really have gone senile. That punk offended members of the royal family in India. Are you saying that I should stand by his side and go against the princes? My, how nice of you to offer advice like that,” said Zhang Xiaoyu sarcastically. “You know what? You could've just been honest with me and told me that you don't want to tell me about his family and upbringing. You don't need to make fun of me.”

“You...” growled Zhang Jiuling. He was so angry that his eyes were burning with rage at that moment. “Xiaoyu, do not go against my words. This is an order. It doesn't matter if he offended the prince. In fact, you are to stand by his side, even if he does something as extreme as killing the freaking king! If you disobey me on this, I will disown you, and you will never receive a penny from the family ever again.” It was obvious that Zhang Jiuling was losing his temper on the other end of the line.

All those years ago, the Zhang family was blinded by their arrogance and almost made the stupid mistake of stepping on Ye Fan's toe.

Hence, it was only natural that he worried about his granddaughter being just as blind and making the wrong decision.

“Hahaha...” Zhang Xiaoyu laughed aloud instantly. “Grandpa, is that a threat? Let me tell you something. I no longer fear any of you. Prince Duo Li of India is courting me right now, and I will be his future wife. Do you really think that a future princess like me will care about the money you have? It's just petty cash to me.”

Zhang Xiaoyu sneered and hung up the phone immediately after.

“Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Zhang Jiuling, who was in Jiangbei at the time, shouted into the phone, but no one responded.

The only thing he could do was sigh deeply.

“My dear Xiaoyu, you understand how powerful a prince is in India and how rich he is. However, you are blind to the fact that Mr. Chu goes so far beyond a single country. He can influence the entire world and practically rules it. You will regret the decision you make today...”

Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't hear what her grandfather said, but it didn't really matter. Even if she had heard what he said, she would not believe him.

Her relationship with Zhang Jiuling had never been good, and she had never gotten in touch with any member of the family unless she needed money.

After hanging up, Zhang Xiaoyu went to Prince Duo Li and the others to tell them that Ye Fan's family was in China. She also claimed that it wasn't worth dealing with them since they were living so far away.

“Then, for now, let's deal with him after the party is over.”

Prince Duo Li's gaze turned malicious.

Just then, everyone in the hall cheered.

A few middle-aged men made their way into the hall in the grandest of ways.

“That's my uncle. He's here!”

Prince Duo Li had regarded one of the men as his uncle, and that meant the latter was the President of India.

However, three more people were leading the way in front of the president.

“Is that...”

“The king of Folo Palace?”

“They're the reason our country is running smoothly!”

“Oh my gosh, what brought them here?”

Most would not know who the trio of Folo Palace were, but Prince Duo Li and the others were definitely aware of it.

Prince Savanth, in particular, had heard the story from his father, who repeatedly told him that the three trio of Folo Palace was like nuclear weapons.

They were the most powerful beings in India and were the true heroes of the country.

Every new king would visit Folo Palace right after their coronation to greet the three kings because, in a way, they were more important than the nation's king and held more power.

“Savanth, who is the VIP we're throwing a party for today? Who could possibly be so powerful that all three kings of Folo Palace have dropped by in person to greet?”

Even the princes couldn't help but be amazed by that.

“Sorry for making everyone wait. And now, please give a warm welcome to Mr. Chu.”

The king of India stood at the center and announced the arrival of their VIP.

Creak!

That was when the door behind everyone opened slowly.

The sunlight streamed into the place like water from a broken dam. It filled the place instantly.

At that moment, the first sight that greeted everyone was the silhouette of a lanky guy who was making his way into the place.

The suspense kept building in the room until Ye Fan's dazzling face was revealed to the crowd.

“That...”

“It's him...”

It was a bolt from the blue.

All three princes and Zhang Jiuling's granddaughter, Zhang Xiaoyu, were petrified when they saw the man standing before them.

Every single one of them widened their eyes in surprise.
