My Ares Son-in-Law

Bai Mingfa's mouth curled up slowly into a sneer of contempt, which was full of doubt and disdain for Xiao Chen's identity and status: "Brother, your outfit is quite unique. Where did you get your high position and how did you make your fortune?"

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with impatience when he heard this. He shook his head gently, as if he was chasing away a disturbing fly, and waved his hand casually, saying, "What does my business have to do with you? Go somewhere cool and don't disturb our enjoyment of dining here."

Bai Mingfa was almost choked by Xiao Chen's sudden indifference. His face darkened, and he suppressed his anger and retorted politely: "Brother, we are all educated people. We should be polite and courteous when speaking. Don't swear all the time."

Xiao Chen sneered, staring at Bai Mingfa with a sharp gaze, which contained both mockery of his hypocrisy and condemnation of his misconduct:
"Civilized? If you really understand the word civilization, how could you do such a rude thing? It's ridiculous to set your sights on someone else's fiancée and try to use civilization as an excuse to cover up your dirty thoughts.

In the past, you might have been ignorant and fearless, but now that you know her identity, you should leave tactfully and stop humiliating yourself and getting in the way."

Bai Mingfa clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his anger surged in his body like a suppressed volcano, almost breaking through the constraints of his reason.

However, he was well aware of the consequences of losing his composure in front of Sophie, so he forced himself to calm down and tried to maintain his hypocritical gentlemanly demeanor.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and forced a twisted smile from the corner of his mouth, which was a mixture of unwillingness and provocation.

"Brother," he pretended to be relaxed, but his eyes could not hide his contempt, "Looking at your clothes, which are simple and almost shabby, it's not hard to guess that your monthly income is probably tight, right?

Even if I overestimated you, and you can make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, that's just barely enough to make ends meet. With your current financial situation, how can you give Sophie the support she needs to help her career move to the next level?"

These words were undoubtedly a direct mockery, intended to belittle Xiao Chen in front of Sophie and highlight his own superior position.

However, Xiao Chen was not angry at this, but secretly amused. He looked calm, with a faint smile on his face, as if he did not take Bai Mingfa's provocation to heart at all.

"Yeah," Xiao Chen deliberately stretched out his words, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "You're right, I don't have any special skills, and I really can't even make 20,000 or 30,000 a month. I just got a new job recently, and it's still unknown whether I can settle down."

His words were light-hearted and casual, yet he cleverly avoided Bai Mingfa's sharp edge. He neither directly refuted nor appeared embarrassed. Instead, he displayed a detached demeanor.

Bai Mingfa's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a perfect opportunity to show off his generosity and ability. The smile on his face became even brighter, revealing an enthusiasm that could not be refused:

"Brother, how about this? Why don't you just come to our company? I promise to arrange a job for you that is both respectable and can earn you 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Such treatment is top-notch among ordinary people, and most people can't even ask for it." Xiao Chen heard this and shook his head slightly, with a playful smile on his face. His eyes revealed a slight mockery of Bai Mingfa's self-righteousness:

"Oh, Brother Bai, I appreciate your kindness, but I was born without any great ambitions. I just want to lie down comfortably and eat some soft rice occasionally. That's the joy of life. I can't bear to work like a slave. What do you think I should do?"

Bai Mingfa's face changed slightly when he heard this. The enthusiasm in his eyes was instantly replaced by a hint of anger. He turned to look at Sophie, his tone full of sarcasm:

"Fei Fei, look at yourself, how can you be so selective? The person you chose doesn't even have the slightest ambition. How can he bring you happiness in the future?"

Sophie was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled even more brightly. She pretended to be a crazy fan, looking at Xiao Chen tenderly, with a bit of mischief and determination in her tone:
"I just like him like this, what's wrong with that? I'm responsible for making money to support the family, and he's responsible for being beautiful, isn't that perfect? ​​Everyone has different pursuits, I think it's good this way."

After saying that, she gently took Xiao Chen's hand, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, their feelings for each other were self-evident.

That look, like a sharp blade, pierced Bai Mingfa's heart, almost completely igniting the anger in his heart and making him lose all reason.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. He looked at Xiao Chen with a sharp gaze, his voice mixed with a bit of chill and unquestionable determination: "Boy, what I'm going to say next may not be pleasant to hear, but we are close friends, and there are some things I feel I must say today. I have the responsibility to remind you..."

Xiao Chen smiled gently, with a hint of uninhibitedness and carefreeness in his smile. He waved his hand gently, interrupting Bai Mingfa's words:
"Brother Bai, don't say anything unpleasant. I am a picky person and only like to hear pleasant words. Life is short, why make yourself and others unhappy?"

what?
Bai Mingfa was stunned when he heard this, his mouth slightly opened, and his expression froze instantly. He never expected Xiao Chen to reject his "advice" so directly, which made his prepared remarks instantly useless.

He stared at Xiao Chen with wide eyes, stunned, muttering to himself: This... This is totally out of the ordinary! How should I proceed?
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Bai Mingfa forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart and spoke again. Although his voice was cold, it was filled with helplessness and persistence:
"Brother Xiao, you may find my words unpleasant to hear, but please believe that I have no ill intentions. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, and honest words are unpleasant to the ear but are good for action.

What I said today is from the bottom of my heart. Although we are not close friends, my words are profound. In fact, it is all for your own good. I just feel that there may be some insurmountable gap between you and Feifei..."

"I think that good medicine can also be blended into a sweet taste through skillful hands, right? If Brother Bai is interested in this, why don't we have an in-depth discussion about medical skills with me, a genius doctor, to see if we can make those originally bitter truths easier to accept."

Xiao Chen said with a smile, his eyes flashing with cunning, as if he was playing a game of wits. (End of this chapter)
