Chapter 125: Chapter 117: The Son-in-Law DisputeLin Mu actually didn’t want to say anything. He just came over to accompany them in acting, who knew there would be wishing and swearing involved? Sigh, had he known, he wouldn’t have come. But since he was already here, he might as well play along, after all, it’s just one way of passing the time. Lin Mu gave a silly smile, "Actually, I don’t have much to say. No matter how good it sounds, if I can’t follow through with actions, it’s pointless. Everything depends on actions. In any case, I won’t let Xiaoxiao and Auntie down!" "Mm, Brother Lin, I believe in you." Xiong Xiaoxiao sweetly said from the side. As Lin Mu looked at Xiong Xiaoxiao, he realized the act was getting deeper and deeper. He had no idea how it would end. If Xiong Jian found out that he and Xiaoxiao were teamed up to deceive him, he’d probably fight Lin Mu to the death. From the moment he appeared, Lin Mu could see that Xiong Jian was trying to help him marry his sister, but he wouldn’t expect that Lin Mu had a betrothal just like Chen Feng, and their fates were nearly identical! If Chen Feng wasn’t a rich second generation but just an ordinary guy, Lin Mu might have gone all out to help him fulfill his dream. Unfortunately, he was not. Chen Feng was obviously an arrogant, spoiled young master. As such, Lin Mu decided to help Xiong Xiaoxiao reject this marriage. "Alright, I’m relieved to hear you both say that. Come on, eat and drink well, we’re all family, don’t be polite..." Xiong Jian said as he ate and encouraged others to drink. "Come on, Xiaoxiao, have another chicken wing. You are what you eat—after you eat this, you could become a bird-person!" Lin Mu joked with Xiong Xiaoxiao as he ate. "If I really turn into a bird-person, I’d be just a little bird, unable to fly high. I just want to stay by your side... and then poop all over you, haha..." Xiong Xiaoxiao intentionally glanced at Chen Feng, flirting casually with Lin Mu. Chen Feng looked at Lin Mu and Xiaoxiao exchanging sweet words here and there, feeling more uncomfortable, his malicious gaze constantly sweeping over Lin Mu. If looks could kill, Chen Feng would have killed Lin Mu dozens of times by now! To be honest, although Chen Feng really liked Xiong Xiaoxiao, it was no more than the way audiences liked Fan Bingbing or Zhang Ziyi. It wasn’t the kind of deep love he promised earlier. And his affection for Xiaoxiao was more due to his father’s status considerations. Before he left, his mother repeatedly reminded him. Now, Xiaoxiao’s father, Xiong Zhen Country, was powerful and was soon to be promoted to Major General. Even though Chen Feng’s dad, Chen Baoye, had a stable position, if their families could unite through marriage, it would undoubtedly bring the two families closer, further expanding the Chen family’s influence. If not for his parents’ considerations, Chen Feng, an idle young master, would never give up an entire forest for a single leaf like Xiaoxiao! With his outstanding looks, his 1.8-meter height, along with his military background, in this money-worshipping economic society, it has always been school beauties lining up to marry him. When did he ever have to humble himself to propose? As they were talking and eating, they quickly finished most of the food when suddenly, Xiong Jian’s phone rang. He answered it, exchanging a few bureaucratic words that nobody understood, then hung up. Nobody noticed anything odd about it! Xiong Jian stood up and said, "Mom, there’s something with the troops, I have to go first. Young Master Lin, Young Master Chen, you all keep eating!" "Mm, be careful on the road!" Nanny Xiong said. Xiong Xiaoxiao sensibly stood up, "Brother, I’ll see you out!" Lin Mu and Chen Feng also stood up, "We’ll go with you!" Xiong Jian waved to decline Xiong Xiaoxiao, "You stay and eat with Mom, let Chen Feng and Lin Mu see me out. Plus, I have something to tell them!" "Okay, in that case, I won’t go down then." Nanny Xiong nodded. Xiong Jian put on his coat and walked downstairs with Chen Feng and Lin Mu. Lin Mu and Chen Feng accompanied Xiong Jian downstairs when Xiong Jian suddenly said meaningfully, "Actually, I’d really love to know if you two are genuinely treating my sister as you claim? Loving her unconditionally, protecting her, and willing to make any sacrifice for her?" "Of course... of course we will..." Chen Feng answered first, though not entirely truthfully, but at least in momentum, he outdid Lin Mu, who was still calmly saying in a leisurely tone, "I will try my best to protect her safety..." As for anything else, Lin Mu really couldn’t bring himself to say more. After all, it was just an act, if he got too into it, how would he explain himself to Xiong Jian when the act was over? "Good, good!" Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xiong Jian seemed satisfied with their answers, wearing a playful smile on his face, "Remember your promises. Don’t let me down, hehe..." After saying that, he coolly opened the car door and got in. Although Lin Mu felt that Xiong Jian’s expression was a bit strange, he didn’t think much of it either, Plus, Xiong Jian got into the car quickly, and Lin Mu didn’t have enough time to use his Seventh Sense to sense if there was anything unusual in Xiong Jian’s mind! Seeing Xiong Jian’s military vehicle drive off, the humble expression Chen Feng previously wore instantly vanished, replaced with one of arrogance. Chen Feng flicked out a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth, and looking at Lin Mu, said, "Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao will be mine sooner or later, you better not think you can take her away from me!" "Oh?" Lin Mu smiled lightly, nonchalantly spreading his hands, "Hehe, is that so? Too bad my girlfriend, Xiaoxiao, will tell you that only I, Lin Mu, am her boyfriend now. Didn’t you feel that at the dinner table?" Chen Feng stylishly blew out a smoke ring, sneering coldly, "Hmph, I don’t care about that. Actually I don’t care if she’s genuinely good with me, but our Chen Family and their Xiong Family are in an arranged marriage. You better figure out—is Xiong’s marriage determined by her parents or by Xiaoxiao herself?" Seeing Lin Mu’s unconvinced expression, Chen Feng continued to arrogantly taunt his opponent, "And you, this kid! Do you think you can compete with me, Young Master Chen, for a girl? Maybe you should take a piss and look at that modest appearance of yours. What makes you qualified to take Xiaoxiao and become her husband? I bet you can’t even feed yourself properly. Do you want Xiaoxiao to live a poor life with you? And don’t even start about looking handsome, take a look at this face, this height, how many leagues am I ahead of you?" Lin Mu just laughed a little, not getting angry at all, because he wasn’t actually Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend. It’s just that Chen Feng’s arrogance was unpleasant. As the Grassland Soldier King of the North African Battlefield and the king of the mercenary world, Lin Mu was inherently proud. He despised those who underestimated him, and anyone who had underestimated him would pay a substantial price.
