Chapter 4 First met In-laws

Huo Jianchen frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him. He had just stood outside for a while and overheard their conversation inside. So, these were his in-laws? They seemed very unfriendly.

"Ye Xuan's husband."

Straight to the point. Ye Xuan blushed as she took her ID card and tried to push Huo Jianchen out. The situation at home was already chaotic enough; him interfering would only make it worse.

"Mr. Huo, thank you for returning my ID card. My family has some issues right now. Could you please leave?"

Huo Jianchen couldn't be bothered to spare another glance at her family and coldly said, "I wasn't planning on meddling anyway."

Turning around, he left with his bodyguards. However, Ye's mother foolishly rushed in front of him with open arms.

"Wait, you're leaving without explaining? You're the one who married our Ye Xuan, right? I can't believe how rude you are. You married our daughter without even coming to propose properly. And, did you give any betrothal gifts? What about the wedding ring? Have you discussed the bride price with us, or did you just deceive our Ye Xuan into getting married? Judging by your appearance, you seem like the type who runs a fraudulent company targeting young women."

Ye's father joined in too.

"Yes, don't leave yet. Marrying our daughter without permission is illegal, you know. Kidnapping women will land you in jail."

Huo Jianchen looked down at Ye's parents with disdain. His height exerted immense visual pressure on them. With a stern expression, he said, "Your daughter is twenty years old, of legal age. I've asked her several times about getting married, and she agreed willingly. As for the bride price, your family didn't mention it to me, so it's not my concern. Now, step aside."

He still had to rush back to the company. If it weren't for his grandmother discovering Ye Xuan's ID card and insisting he return it himself, he wouldn't have bothered coming to see this woman. Just by entering this neighborhood, he could tell it wasn't a wealthy family, and with only a few people at home, the situation was chaotic. Could such parents really raise a daughter of noble character, or were they just pretending?

"No, you can't leave until we talk things through. Since you've married into our family, you're our son-in-law now. You can't take our daughter away without giving us a single penny. Today, without three hundred thousand, you're not leaving this door."

Ye Xuan was infuriated, her face turning purple. She directly blocked her parents.

"Dad, Mom, he's just a small executive at a company, not very wealthy. Please don't make things difficult for him. I agreed to marry without asking for a dowry. He needs to get back to work now. Please let him go."

This was the first time she had defied her parents. After saying her piece, she kept apologizing to Huo Jianchen.

"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry for causing you trouble by making you return my ID card."

Huo Jianchen walked away without looking back. Ye's parents cursed loudly as he left.

"You ungrateful girl, marrying without asking for money. How shameless can you be?"

"It's my own business if I get married. I'm not selling myself. He may be an executive at a company, but he earns his money through hard work. You talk about how hard it is for your brother to get married and ask for thirty thousand; do you think they just have money lying around? I don't want a dowry; having a place to live is enough."

Huo Jianchen walked a few steps, clearly hearing Ye Xuan's words. He didn't turn back but left his two bodyguards behind.

"Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't suffer any losses. Take her straight back to the villa later."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jianchen got into his Bentley and left in a cloud of dust.

Ye's parents continued to protest stubbornly, but Huo Jianchen's bodyguards had already turned back. Li Xiaolin and Ye Xuan struggled to grab the luggage, but they couldn't match Ye's parents' strength.

Ye's parents continued to resist stubbornly, but Huo Jianchen's bodyguards had already turned back. Li Xiaolin and Ye Xuan struggled to grab the luggage, but they couldn't match Ye's parents' strength.

After all, they were elders, and the two of them were afraid of hurting them.

"Miss Ye, Mr. Huo instructed us to help you with your luggage."

The two bodyguards stood like mountains in front of Ye Xuan's parents. Seeing the two fierce-looking individuals, their grip on the luggage loosened unconsciously.

"What... What do you want?"

Ye's parents said in disbelief, "Trespassing into a private residence is illegal."

Seizing the opportunity, Li Xiaolin snatched the luggage and handed it directly to the two burly bodyguards, then pulled Ye Xuan away from them. With this, Ye's parents dared not move anymore, only able to watch their daughter walk away with her luggage.

Outside, there was an Alpha commercial vehicle parked. Ye Xuan thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"Miss Ye, no need to be polite. Mr. Huo instructed us to escort you back to the villa. Please get in the car."

Ye Xuan looked at the car and the two bodyguards with some trepidation. Just moments ago, Li Xiaolin had been relieved that there were two men around, preventing Ye Xuan's parents from doing anything to them. But now, she was also having second thoughts.

"Ye Xuan, did you offend someone you shouldn't have? Your husband looks handsome, but he seems unfriendly. And those two men are so muscular; they might not be from an ordinary family."

Ye Xuan was also uncertain. Grandma Huo seemed kind and wore simple clothes, not like someone with a sinister heart.

Li Xiaolin whispered to Ye Xuan, "This car is an Alpha. Although it's not a top-tier luxury car, it costs around eight hundred thousand. Are you sure your husband drives a BYD?"

Li Xiaolin's family wasn't well-off, but her aunt married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife. Her cousin even owned an Alpha.

"I saw the letter 'B' on his car with two wings next to it. It should be a BYD, right?"

Li Xiaolin's face immediately fell. "Miss, a letter 'B' with two wings beside it means a Bentley. It costs several million."

Ye Xuan also panicked. It couldn't be. Her husband was just an executive at a company. Could he really drive a car worth millions? She knew her own family background. When Grandma Huo said her grandson was just an executive, she already felt like she was reaching.

"Miss Ye, please get in the car. If we can't pick you up, Mr. Huo will blame us."

The two bodyguards looked at Ye Xuan hesitating, and it was getting late. Huo Jianchen always came home on time after work, with no social engagements. If they didn't complete the task he assigned, they might end up getting fired.

Li Xiaolin whispered again, "Your husband should be quite wealthy, and judging by the entourage, he doesn't seem like an ordinary person. You're so poor; he might have ulterior motives towards you. Why don't you go and see first?"

Ye Xuan was swayed by Li Xiaolin's words. Yes, she owed a lot of debts. Who was afraid of whom?

"I'll go, but my friend will accompany me."

The bodyguards glanced at Li Xiaolin. Since Mr. Huo hadn't said not to bring anyone, as long as Miss Ye was escorted home, their task would be completed, and Mr. Huo wouldn't blame them.

"Okay."
