My Ares Son-in-Law

Logically speaking, the dispute over the company's shares has just been settled. Now that the Lin Group is under the sole control of Lin Youya, and there are no longer many obstacles to innovation, she should be in high spirits and without worries. Why would she look so worried and sad?
Lin Youya's gaze lingered on Xiao Chen for a moment, her lips moved slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she swallowed them back at the critical moment, her eyes full of hesitation and struggle.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little curious and concerned. He opened his heart and spoke with unquestionable firmness:
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, just speak up. I, Xiao Chen, have never been a coward, and troubles are commonplace. There is no need to worry too much. Since I have agreed to be your bodyguard, I will do my best to protect you and will not allow anyone to harm you."

Xiao Chen's words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Lin Youya's heart, making her feel unprecedented peace of mind and reliance.

With Xiao Chen's encouragement, Lin Youya finally mustered up the courage. Although her voice was as thin as a mosquito, every word was clear: "In fact, I received a mysterious call before. The other party claimed that my grandfather had to hand over a certain treasure, otherwise they would attack our Lin Group, and even me and my grandfather... I... I am filled with panic at the moment, and I don't know what to do."

At this point, Lin Youya's eyes were already red, with crystal tears rolling in her eyes, but she still tried hard not to let them fall. Her voice was trembling a little, revealing her inner helplessness and fear, which made people feel pity.

"Who is calling?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his eyes showing a sharpness, as if he was trying to capture more information from Lin Youya's answer.

Lin Youya bit her lip lightly, with a look of nervousness and uneasiness on her face. She slowly explained, "A person who calls himself Shadow Seven, his voice sounds very cold and makes me feel creepy."

"Ying Qi?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This name was not unfamiliar to him, as he had just killed the useless Ying Qi.

Unexpectedly, Ying Qi's words before his death were not false. He did accept Mr. Jin's task to deal with Lin Youya. However, fate played tricks on him, and Ying Qi eventually fell at his own hands and failed to achieve his wish.

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a complex light, with both emotion for Ying Qi and worry for Lin Youya. He said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Ying Qi will never trouble you again."

When Lin Youya heard this, she was a little confused at first, and seemed unable to immediately understand the meaning of Xiao Chen's words. But in a flash, a look of sudden enlightenment flashed in her eyes, as if she understood everything.

Ying Qi, the name that once filled her with fear, has now been completely resolved by Xiao Chen, and the big stone in her heart has finally fallen to the ground.

"Thank you!" There was a slight tremor in Lin Elegant's voice. She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, making her look particularly weak and helpless.

Xiao Chen looked at her, an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

He patted Lin Youya's shoulder gently, with a bit of warmth and determination in his tone: "Okay, we are friends who have experienced a lot of ups and downs. You should go to bed early. The company's affairs are important, but your health should not be neglected either. As for other matters, leave it to me."

After saying that, Xiao Chen stood up and prepared to leave. However, just as he took a step, he was suddenly held back by Lin Youya's hand. Xiao Chen paused, frowned slightly, and looked down at the white jade-like, slightly trembling hand. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. After all, this woman had a face very similar to his wife Jiang Meng, but she was not the one he loved deeply.

Feeling Xiao Chen's gaze, Lin Youya's cheeks instantly turned red. She realized her own gaffe and quickly retracted her hand, her voice filled with embarrassment and shyness: "I'm sorry, I... I just..."

Xiao Chen shook his head gently, indicating that she didn't need to care. However, Lin Youya didn't seem to be willing to give up. She bit her lip and asked with courage: "Why don't you ask what the treasure in our hands is? Why does it attract so many people's covetousness?"

Xiao Chen smiled faintly when he heard this. He shook his head, and said in a carefree and uninhibited tone: "It doesn't matter. I have never been interested in other people's treasures. Whether it is gold, silver, or rare treasures, to me, they are just a pile of external things."

Lin Youya's eyes flashed with disappointment when she heard this. But she did not give up, and asked more firmly: "What about me? Don't you want to know the mystery of my life experience and why I have that treasure?" There was a bit of urgency and expectation in her voice, as if she hoped to get some answers from Xiao Chen.

"This is quite interesting." A hint of curiosity and exploration flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He really had always wanted to know where Lin Youya came from and why she looked exactly like his wife Jiang Meng. This similarity could not be achieved by disguise or plastic surgery. It was like a copy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Youya fell into a brief contemplation. Her eyes became deep and distant, as if she had crossed the boundaries of time and space and returned to the distant and mysterious place of her birth.

After a moment, she gently opened her red lips, her voice carrying a hint of dreaminess: "I come from a place isolated from the world, which the people there call the Spirit Realm. It is a world shrouded in mysterious power, completely different from the outside world, and full of unknowns and miracles."

“When I was born, I didn’t know who my parents were, let alone any relatives I had in this world.

All I know is that I am not alone. I was born with three sisters who look exactly like me. The four of us are like four flowers born from the same stem. We are strikingly similar in both appearance and temperament. Sometimes, even we ourselves can hardly tell one from the other.

At this point, a hint of sadness and confusion appeared on Lin Youya's face. She seemed to be recalling that distant and vague memory, the mystery about her life and origin.

Her voice became low and soft, as if she was telling an ancient and mysterious story, which made people involuntarily immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

"We were mercilessly sent into this secular torrent, left to fend for ourselves, as if we were just chess pieces in their hands, casually placed on the chessboard." Lin Elegant's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and sadness, her eyes were empty and distant, as if she had returned to the night she was sent away, the beginning full of unknowns and fears.
