Where is it? Take it out and let me see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was vigilant in his heart, but said: \"Mom, the bracelet is in the bedroom, but I intend to return it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return it?\" Ma Lan couldn't help but frown: \"Are you sick in the head? Returning something worth five or six million?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said: \"I just helped him with a small favor, and he gave such a valuable thing, it’s not appropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s appropriate or inappropriate!\" Ma Lan blurted out: \"If he dares to give it, we dare to take it! Where is the bracelet? If you don't dare to take it, I will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen knew that his mother-in-law didn't have any good intentions. The bracelet was actually prepared for Xiao Churan, but he hadn't found a suitable reason to tell her, so he put it aside for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect his father-in-law to be so quick to spill the beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Ye Chen couldn't bear to part with a bracelet worth a few million. After all, he had nearly 10 billion in his card, so what kind of bracelet couldn't he buy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the key was that he felt his mother-in-law didn't deserve to wear such a valuable thing. With her shrewish temper and petty citizen character, wearing a bracelet worth twenty or thirty thousand was already very kind to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, mother-in-law Ma Lan didn't want to miss the opportunity now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing a bracelet worth five or six million, how much face would she have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she urged repeatedly: \"Where is the bracelet? Take it out and let me see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan on the side also knew that if this bracelet was really taken out and fell into her mother’s hands, it wouldn't be coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she also said: \"Mom, since it’s something prepared to be returned to others, let’s not take it out to see. In case it gets bumped, knocked, or dropped, it won't be easy to explain to others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really returning it?\" Ma Lan was anxious, stood up and scolded: \"Were your brains kicked by a donkey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan knew her mother’s temper. If she insisted on returning it, she really couldn't stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that such a good thing worth millions was going to be returned, she immediately felt heartache and cried, saying: \"It’s bad enough to have a son-in-law with no prospects, but my daughter isn't on the same side as me either. I might as well die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan picked up a piece of meat for her mother and said: \"Alright Mom, I’ll buy you a bracelet in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what you said!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day of the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen just came out of the room and arrived in the living room early in the morning. Xiao Changkun was already waiting impatiently. Seeing him, he greeted him excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen, let’s go quickly, don't be late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he could go to the auction, Xiao Changkun didn't sleep well all night and had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Ye Chen come out, he immediately pulled him and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure Pavilion was a cultural relic association spontaneously organized by a group of antique enthusiasts in Jin Ling, with its headquarters in a manor in the suburban scenic area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The president of the association had a great background. It was said that he was a real estate tycoon in the province who loved antiques and took the lead in investing 100 million to gather a group of business people who also loved antiques to form the \"Treasure Pavilion\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion manor, parked the car, got out, and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding scenery was indeed unique and quiet, with a sense of nobility, and the luxury cars parked outside were all Porsche at the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the BMW 5 series Ye Chen drove was like a pheasant that fell into a phoenix nest, which was particularly eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father-in-law got out of the car and walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun was extremely excited. This was his first time coming to such a high-end occasion, and he kept looking around, but he was still a bit fearful and couldn't let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of the venue, Xiao Changkun showed the invitation letter nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat worried in his heart, would these two invitation letters Ye Chen got be fake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the security guard at the door verified it immediately and said respectfully to the two: \"Two, please come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two entered the venue, Xiao Hailong, dressed like a dog, also followed and walked in swaggeringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he walked in, Xiao Hailong frowned, and his face flashed with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun were actually here too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were these two losers doing here? The whole Xiao family only had one invitation letter, and it was in his hands now. Could it be that these two losers wanted to sneak in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the losses he had suffered in Ye Chen’s hands before, Xiao Hailong walked up angrily and shouted: \"Ye Chen, how did you get in? Do you know what place this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen suddenly heard Xiao Hailong’s duck-like voice and couldn't help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Hailong, Xiao Changkun smiled triumphantly: \"Oh Hailong, you’re here too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong not only looked down on Ye Chen, but also looked down on his second uncle Xiao Changkun, so he frowned and asked: \"What are you doing here? Do you have an invitation letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\" Xiao Changkun blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong asked aggressively: \"Just by you two, you can get an invitation letter? Where did it come from?\" [\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong asked aggressively, \"Do you two really think you can get an invitation? Where did you get it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, \"Xiao Hailong, where we got our invitation from, what business is it of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong sneered, \"With you two stinking losers, how could you possibly get an invitation from the Song family? I think you must have stolen someone else's invitation to sneak in, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're sick.\" Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; he turned his head away and remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dismissive attitude of his only made Xiao Hailong even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Ye Chen was just a spineless loser who had absolutely no status in the Xiao family—he was a lower-class person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Ye Chen was actually able to come to the Treasure Pavilion, which made Xiao Hailong feel deeply insulted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lower-class person who lived off a woman, how could he possibly stand here side-by-side with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong glared at Ye Chen, pointed at his nose, and said, \"Speak, how on earth did you two sneak in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned and said to Xiao Changkun, \"Dad, don't pay attention to this brain-damaged person. Let's go, don't bother with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop right there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong stepped forward, deliberately blocking his path, and looked at him with a provocative squint: \"Still want to run? You're feeling guilty, aren't you? You must have used some underhanded means to sneak in! You have no qualifications to enter such a high-end occasion! Let me see your invitation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was also angry; even though he had been patient at every step, he could not let the other party provoke him again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said coldly, \"See my invitation? You aren't worthy! Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong's brows furrowed, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Ye Chen had always been a spineless coward, yet he actually dared to tell him to get lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong grabbed at Ye Chen's arm and sneered, \"Today, if you don't make things clear, don't even think about leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-06-17T16:51:23.531Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59eb1567d3e078a7719a3f91dcb13b1486e051b574bc80f9842b5d9ed2fa70b2","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-79","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-77",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
