The Wealthy Son-in-law Is Back

Many people were walking on the commercial street, and although there was a strong air freshener covering them, they could still smell a disgusting smell.    

    

Some of the merchants who lived nearby gathered together to discuss the sounds of fighting that they had heard last night.    

    

Some people said that there had been a terrifying fight here last night, but there were no traces of it at all. Many people also wondered if the garbage truck that collected the slop water last night had been overturned. That was why it sprayed so much freshener.    

    

Some people also said that many people had died here. This disgusting smell was actually the smell of blood, which made people's hair stand on end.    

    

However, since there were no witnesses and the news was blocked, this matter was left unsettled and became a mystery of Sky City.    

    

When the news reached the Cloud City, there was not a single ripple.    

    

The slums of the northern suburbs were about to be demolished, and the relevant departments were measuring the land one by one. It wouldn't be long before a tall building was picked up. The relevant schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and public transport stations would be opened.    

    

Dingli and the others were responsible for maintaining the stability of the slums.    

    

Compared to the bloody storms outside, the life in Cloud City was more comfortable.    

    

Liu Feng called Dingli and complained to him, saying that he had been scared out of his wits for the past few days. He could not eat or sleep well, afraid that he would close his eyes and move his head away.    

    

He complained that Dingli was not loyal enough, and that he did not bring him along for a good thing like joining Cloud City.    

    

After Dingli heard this, he was extremely pleased with himself. Who asked you guys to have such a bad sense of smell?    

    

At the end of the call, Liu Feng even mentioned that he wanted Dingli to help introduce them, and they also wanted to join the Cloud City.    

    

He thought about it and did not refuse or agree. After saying some ambiguous words, he hung up the phone.    

    

What kind of joke was this? He was still in the examination period, why would he believe him?    

    

Why should he accept them?    

    

For him to be able to live until now, besides intuition, the most important thing was self-awareness.    

    

"Boss, Master Jiang won."    

    

A subordinate walked over after helping the old lady carry the water. He lowered his voice and said, "He should be safe now, right?"    

    

Dingli frowned.    

    

"Safe? Do you really think the people of S Province will let this matter go easily?"    

    

The man was stunned for a moment before he stammered, "I... just miss home a little."    

    

"Alright, I agree."    

    

Dingli nodded and said with a calm expression, "You can go back. From today onwards, I will take root in Cloud City. This is my home!"    

    

He scanned the crowd and looked at his shocked subordinates. With a serious expression, he said, "Let me tell you all, going back will only lead to death. The other side won't let this matter rest. Master Jiang won't be able to protect you all."    

    

"You all should be glad that Mr. Xiao took you all in. No one else can enter this place even if they cut their heads off. You all are born with good fortune, yet you still want to go back and die?"    

    

"Alright, you all want to leave, right? Leave now. I will definitely not stop you, but don't think about coming back after you leave."    

    

Dingli had never talked so much to his subordinates. He just didn't want to see his brothers who were fighting alongside him die.    

    

A place with Xiao Tian was the safest place.    

    

Liu Feng and the others wanted to enter, but they couldn't. On the contrary, they wanted to go back. What a bunch of idiots.    

    

After Dingli finished speaking, he turned around and helped the uncle next door pack his things and move.    

    

The subordinates looked at each other in dismay. All of them were stunned on the spot.    

    

...    

    

These few days, Xiao Tian had been in the hospital, the company, and his family. He had been exhausted.    

    

After a few days of recuperation, the wound on the White Jade Orchid had already scabbed, and the blood on his face had recovered quite a bit.    

    

More importantly, the relationship between the two of them had soared rapidly, to the point where Xiao Tian could not take it anymore.    

    

At first, they were only holding hands, but later on, the White Jade Orchid's request was even more excessive, to actually let him hug her and coax her to sleep!    

    

Xiao Tian rejected on the spot.    

    

However, the moment he rejected her, the White Jade Orchid's expression instantly changed. She immediately pouted, looking like she was about to cry. Furthermore, she said sorrowfully, "I helped you block a knife and saved your life. I won't even be able to wear a skirt in the future."    

    

The place where the knife hit was very awkward. It happened to be in the middle of the ravine. In the future, white jade orchid really wouldn't be able to wear low-cut clothes. She wouldn't even be able to wear some wide t-shirts.    

    

This was definitely a huge blow to beautiful women.    

    

Xiao Tian knew that even if she didn't help him block the knife, he would still be fine, but he couldn't say it out loud.    

    

Because he owed her a lot.    

    

Helpless, he could only sit beside the bed and carefully put his arm around her shoulder and gently pat her back.    

    

After being injured, the White Jade Orchid appeared exceptionally weak. Its strong image in the past had long collapsed.    

    

The current her was like the Lin Dai Yu in the dream of the Red Chamber. Her entire body's weakness was displayed in front of Xiao Tian without any reservation.    

    

This was a sign of trust towards a person to the extreme.    

    

How could Xiao Tian not know?    

    

He was also very distressed right now. If he did not have any reaction while hugging the White Jade Orchid, it would definitely be fake.    

    

Especially this girl, she would tease him from time to time, which made him feel even worse.    

    

This was too exaggerated. Xiao Tian suspected that the White Jade Orchid had hit its head when it fell to the ground when it was stabbed. It could actually cause a person's temperament to change drastically.    

    

Strands of fragrance entered his nose, and Xiao Tian's entire body began to heat up.    

    

Leaning against his chest and listening to his heartbeat, the White Jade Orchid felt indescribably comfortable. It turned out that finding a shoulder to lean on was so reassuring.    

    

She sighed in her heart. If the owner of this chest was single, that would be even better.    

    

"Xiao Tian, don't leave tonight. Stay with me in the hospital, okay?"    

    

Bai Yulan looked up. "I've been having nightmares all night. When I wake up, I'm alone. I feel like I've been abandoned by the whole world."    

    

Xiao Tian's body stiffened. He smiled and said, "I... This is not good. It will ruin your reputation if you are alone in a room."
