Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 466: His Fame Is Worth More Than Me, Let’s See Who’s the More Vicious One

Li Beinian was stumped.

Mu Xichen glanced at Chi Hailang coldly, and the corners of his lips turned slightly upwards. He kept silent.

Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge looked across and asked their son, “You fought with someone?”

“What favor do you owe?”

Feeling sad and reluctant, Chi Hailang told them what had happened.

Although Chi Dali was driving, upon hearing this he almost turned around to give the boy a tight slap.

Tang Xiaoge immediately intervened and held him back. “Don’t. Our son-in-law is present. We’ll discipline him in the privacy of our home after dinner.

Chi Hailang shrank back and shouted, “I didn’t do it on purpose. That person was a scoundrel, he bullied my girlfriend. As a man, how could I allow another man to bully my girlfriend!”

“How many times have we told you not to be dating while still in school. But not only did you do that, but you’ve also created a big mess. This time around your brother-in-law has managed to get you out of it, but what about the next time!” Tang Xiaoge was livid. “Between you brothers, you’d better settle your accounts cleanly. Whatever you owe him, settle it yourself. Don’t expect your sister to help you!”

Chi Hailang was full of grievance, but he was unwilling to yield. “I’ll pay him back, then. It’s just a matter of time before I’ll earn the million yuan to pay him back. But what about my sister? She’s gotten into this whirlwind marriage. What’ll she do now?”

The more he spoke out about this matter, the worse he felt about it.

Teary-eyed, he took Li Beinian’s hand and started, “Beinian…”

“Alright already.” Beinian couldn’t bear to continue watching this drama unfold. “Do I look like the sort who would get myself married to someone just to repay a personal favor?”

He threw a look at Mu Xichen and nodded his head, saying, “Yes, you are.”

Mu Xichen had to concede, there was truth to this. Suddenly, he was choked full of complex emotions.

Li Beinian continued, “… I’m not a fool. I’m with him because I like him. You’re over-thinking things. I owe many people lots of personal favors, and I’ve always managed to settle these. When did I ever have to give myself to them?”

Chi Hailang muttered in reply, “Well, that’s because the person you’re dealing with is different.”

Mu Xichen was more difficult to deal with than the normal person.

Not only had he a powerful status and background, but his reputation was also far-reaching.

All he had to do was to pursue her openly, be a little forceful, and dangle a few temptations, and it would be difficult to reject him.

Li Beinian was tickled and gave him a playful shove. “Alright already, you. It’s not as complicated as you think. Hurry and greet your new brother-in-law.”

Chi Hailang stared at Mu Xichen for a while and then called out, “Brother-in-law.”

Mu Xichen returned the boy’s stare for a moment, then suddenly tugged at Li Beinian’s handbag.

She understood immediately and laughed aloud, handing her bag over to the man.

Mu Xichen dug into it and drew out a red packet, saying, “Here’s a red packet. Don’t forget to address me as brother-in-law from now on.”

Chi Hailang took the red packet in a daze. When he felt the thickness of the envelope, he was immediately excited and exclaimed, “Brother-in-law! From now on my sister will lean on you, you must treat her well. I’m all behind you!”

With a merry twinkle in his eye, Mu Xichen grunted. “Uh-huh.”

Frustrated and amused at the same time, Li Beinian gave the boy a light knock on his head. “Shameless! How quickly you change your tune!”

Chi Hailang grinned mischievously and replied, “I’m just going with the flow, don’t you know that?” Then, his expression turned serious as he added, “However, if you ever bully our Beinian, I’ll kill you myself!”

Tang Xiaoge laughed and said, “Are you sure you’re up for that?”

Chi Hailang said in all earnestness, “I’ll turn up at his doorsteps with a bunch of reporters to expose him and threaten to kill myself. His fame is worth more than me. Let’ see who’s the more vicious one!”

“Right, this is a good plan!” Tang Xiaoge clapped in agreement. “If he dares to bully our family member, be careful that we normal folks can be very vicious in biting back!”
