The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

The words of Wu Yihan were understood by everyone present.

He intended to curry favor with Xu Hao!

But, Xu Hao had just killed so many Chief Protectors of the Wu Family in public, and now he was eagerly running off to ingratiate himself with Xu Hao. Was this really okay?

Wu Yong's expression grew darker, so dark it seemed water could be wrung out of it. His lips moved slightly, but no one knew what exactly he said to Wu Yihan.

The crowd only saw the look on Wu Yihan's face change uncertainly a few times before he left.

Wu Yong snorted coldly, "They say girls are hard to keep at home as they grow up, but it looks like it's the same with boys!"

No one responded.

But Wu Yong's intention was obvious; he agreed with Wu Yihan's decision to ingratiate himself with Xu Hao.

Not to put all one's eggs in one basket was a common method used by major families. They would typically choose to invest in multiple parties, letting their disciples seek out numerous capable individuals to serve.

They weren't seeking dominance or to be invincible; they only needed to maintain the family's long-lasting prosperity. That was their victory.

Thus, through thousands of years of history in Huaya, while dynasties changed dozens of times, some families managed to persist for a millennium due to such strategic maneuvers.

Multifaceted investments assured that no matter who won, they could protect their family.

Wu Mengchong watched the direction Wu Yihan disappeared coldly, then suddenly said, "Humph! Thankfully, that brat Xu Hao is competing against our main line, otherwise Wu Yihan might end up not being able to save even his own life in the end!"

Wu Yong shook his head slightly, saying, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Now that Yihan has chosen to side with Xu Hao, until we reach the final step, no one knows who is right or who is wrong. If he wants to walk this path, then let him be. As long as he doesn't do anything that harms the family's interests, that's fine."

Dissatisfied, Wu Mengchong said, "But Xu Hao is currently in competition against our family. If Wu Yihan goes to serve Xu Hao, he'll certainly do things that harm our family."

Wu Yong took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. After a long time, he said slowly, "Then... we'll deal with it according to the family law."

After saying this, he seemed to age greatly. Lifting a cup of tea, he sipped it slowly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hai and the others sighed softly. They understood Wu Yong's thoughts all too well.

Wu Mengchong's pointed statements were clearly pushing Wu Yong to order punishment for Wu Yihan if he disobeyed the family rules, according to the family law.

But Wu Mengchong and Wu Yihan were brothers!

The actions of Wu Mengchong left Wu Yong feeling somewhat chilled.

But he was helpless.

That was the struggle within major families: even among brothers, it was inevitable at times to have open conflict.

The current situation between the Zhou Family Eldest and the Second Eldest was the best example.

Elsewhere.

Lady Li was chatting with Louise when Louise suddenly said, "Auntie Li, it seems we forgot to ask Mr. Xu for that bottle of cosmetics."

Lady Li immediately nodded, saying, "Right, I had totally forgotten."

Louise smiled, "Shall I go ask him for it now?"

Lady Li saw through Louise's intentions and laughed, "You child, if you want to talk to Xu Hao, just say it. With your qualifications, if you put in a little effort, which man wouldn't be moved?"

Louise's face turned unexpectedly red as she spoke softly, "Auntie Li, Mr. Xu is different from other people. I've observed for a long time and after a lot of investigation, I've found that the only woman he seems to have had a real relationship with is Qin Yao, and she is also his college classmate. It seems Mr. Xu has a crush on her, which led to their relationship."

Lady Li smiled, "I understand what you're thinking, but isn't there more than just that Qin Yao girl around Mr. Xu?"

Louise nodded, "Yes, there are quite a few, but he hasn't had relations with any of them, especially his wife who he's married to. There seems to be no relationship there either."

Lady Li said in surprise, "Is that true?"

"It's mostly likely true. I don't know what the exact situation is," Louise replied, also somewhat confused. Growing up in a more open society, she was prudent herself but understood these matters to some extent.

Lady Li laughed, "This young man is somewhat unexpected. If he had practiced a Cultivation Technique like Child skill, he would not have had an affair with Qin Yao, but it's clear he does not practice such a technique, yet he still manages to keep his original intention, a young man with such self-control, if he continues like this, he will surely achieve great things in the future!"

Louise nodded slightly, "Auntie, then I'll go and get the cosmetics."

"Go ahead."

Lady Li nodded slightly, watching as Louise left.

Watching Louise, she thought of her own daughter. If her daughter hadn't developed vitiligo, her beauty would not have been inferior to Louise's, but alas!

She sighed softly, at this moment, all her hopes were pinned on Xu Hao.

…

In contrast to the tense atmosphere in the banquet hall on the fiftieth floor, the dance hall on the forty-ninth floor was much livelier.

No one here knew what had happened in the banquet hall because these young men and women were all reveling in the carnival-like atmosphere of the dance hall.
