My Ares Son-in-Law

"How dare you!" The young man next to the middle-aged man shouted with a stern face and eyes as sharp as a bolt of lightning, like a bolt of lightning piercing the air. His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, as if he was defending some kind of inviolable dignity.

The young man's figure was tall and straight, as steady as a mountain, and every step he took was solid and powerful, showing his profound martial arts skills and family background.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man gently raised his hand to stop the young man from taking further action. His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under his control. He turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, with a gentle smile on his lips, but his eyes were shining with a deep light.

"He's right. This is indeed not very polite." The middle-aged man's voice was low and magnetic, with an indescribable affinity that made people want to listen to his words involuntarily.

"But, young man, you seem to have some misunderstanding about our family. I don't mean to offend you, but as Yulan's elder, I naturally have to pay more attention to the people around her. Since you claim to be her boyfriend, then as an elder, I am sizing you up out of my concern and love for her, and there is nothing wrong with that, right?"

"You're wrong, I'm not her boyfriend." Xiao Chen's words were clear and firm, without any hesitation or ambiguity. His eyes revealed an unquestionable sincerity, as if he was announcing an unchangeable fact to the middle-aged man.

He had no intention of lying for Jiang Yulan just to fit in with a certain situation or avoid embarrassment, because he knew very well that lies would only make things more complicated and difficult to handle.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his eyes revealing his deep disgust for Jiang Yulan's running away from home. In his opinion, a person who lacks social experience and self-protection ability, who rashly runs away from home, is undoubtedly putting himself in great danger.

He recalled the scene of meeting Jiang Yulan on the boat, and a sense of fear surged in his heart. If he had not appeared in time and lent a helping hand, Jiang Yulan might have met with an accident. This sense of responsibility and worry made it impossible for him to hide the truth from the middle-aged man.

"Uncle," Xiao Chen's tone became serious and earnest. He looked directly into the middle-aged man's eyes and continued, "Martial arts are important and can give people a strong physique and the ability to protect themselves, but in this complex and ever-changing society, relying solely on force is far from enough.

What is more important is to teach children how to survive in society, how to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and how to protect themselves from harm. Although the Warrior Age is full of challenges and opportunities, it also hides more dangers and traps. If our children cannot learn these, then even if they have high martial arts skills, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in this era. "

At this point, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with worry and expectation. He was worried about Jiang Yulan's future, and he hoped that the middle-aged man would listen to his advice and pay more attention to the education and guidance of the child.

He believes that only in this way can young people like Jiang Yulan avoid taking detours and unnecessary harm in the future.

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and left. He didn't like to meddle in other people's family affairs.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at the source of the voice. He saw the middle-aged man step forward with a sincere look on his face. He raised his hands slightly and made an ancient salute. "I will naturally discipline Yulan and let her understand the rashness and danger of this behavior. However, since you helped Yulan, you are a rare benefactor of my Jiang family. You must have not found a place to stay when you came to this island reef?" The middle-aged man's voice was gentle and powerful, revealing a kind of sincerity and enthusiasm.

Xiao Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this. He looked around. The sea and the sky were one color, and the island was vast. He had already had a grudge against the people in the Chamber of Commerce, and there was really nowhere to go. The invitation from the middle-aged man was undoubtedly a timely help, and he felt a little warmth and care from human nature.

He pondered for a moment, a trace of gratitude and determination flashed in his eyes. "In that case, I'd better obey your order." Xiao Chen's voice was light, but it revealed a firm strength. He knew that the middle-aged man in front of him and the Jiang family behind him might provide him with a temporary safe haven and give him the opportunity to replan his future.

"Great!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled with relief, as if a heavy stone had fallen off his chest. "I am Jiang Qingtao, the head of the Jiang family. Please follow me, my benefactor. Although the camp is simple, it is enough to shelter us from the wind and rain. This is a small token of our Jiang family's gratitude to you." As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way and invited Xiao Chen to join him.

Xiao Chen nodded and followed. Behind him, Jiang Yulan followed slowly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including gratitude and apology to Xiao Chen, as well as awe and reflection on her father's harsh words.

"Yulan, you should go too." Jiang Qingtao looked back at his daughter, his tone was a mixture of severity and love. "You must remember the lesson you learned this time. The world outside is far more complicated and dangerous than you think. But remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, your family will always be your strongest support."

Hearing this, the blush in Jiang Yulan's eyes seemed to deepen a little. She nodded gently, but there was a hint of hesitation and struggle in that action.

She kept glancing at Xiao Chen, as if she was looking for some kind of answer, or as if she was hiding her complicated emotions. Obviously, she had other things on her mind, which were like dark clouds hanging over her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.

Jiang Qingtao saw this, although he didn't say much, his eyes showed some worry and confusion. He gently patted Jiang Yulan's shoulder to comfort her, and then took Xiao Chen and Jiang Yulan to his car.

This is a well-designed business car with a spacious and comfortable interior and soft seats that seem to absorb all fatigue and anxiety.

The atmosphere in the car was a little subtle. Jiang Yulan deliberately chose to sit next to Xiao Chen, and her movements were accompanied by a subtle determination and stubbornness. When the car door was closed and all the noise from the outside world was isolated, she dared to express her emotions boldly.

She looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to their conversation. Then she squeezed Xiao Chen's arm hard, with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction and grievances.

"Stingy guy, what's wrong with asking you to help? You betrayed me!" Her voice was small, but it was full of complaints and dissatisfaction. Xiao Chen felt her emotions, but did not refute immediately. He just sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and concern. (End of this chapter)
