Chapter 48: What The Heck, The Husband-In-Law Has Already Appeared:
[Speaking of which, even if Long Tian appears again, it will be nearly over by then!]
[That mercenary team is Long Tian’s final trump card!]
[Once that’s used up, I’m afraid Long Tian won’t have any more roles to play!]
What originally had the potential to be a great plot had now fallen apart because of his actions. The once-mighty protagonist was struggling just to keep up with the supporting characters!
[Tsk! This time, the protagonist is really falling short!]
But whose fault was that, really?
Well, Ye Liuyun didn’t dwell on it.
He was more concerned about what he would do for his future sign-ins if Long Tian were out of the picture.
While Ye Liuyun pondered, You Yu, who was sitting beside him, wrapped her arms around one of his. "Don’t be upset!"
"Hmm?" Ye Liuyun looked at her puzzledly.
You Yu smiled brightly and asked "You’ve seemed unhappy the entire trip. Want me to cheer you up?"
"..."
Ye Liuyun didn’t respond but instead hugged You Yu closer.
With such a beauty by his side, his mood improved instantly.
"Then don’t think about resting tonight!" Ye Liuyun teased.
Although You Yu enjoyed the idea, she also felt a bit nervous. After all, with his physique, it was more than she could handle!
"How about we wait until tomorrow night?" She looked at Ye Liuyun with pleading eyes.
"Is something wrong?"
"A friend of mine is getting married tomorrow, and I have to attend the wedding." You Yu felt a bit helpless. They weren’t particularly close, just acquaintances within the same social circle, but she had to show face.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you wear yourself out!"
"That’s good!" You Yu didn’t object, instead hugging Ye Liuyun happily.
"By the way, Liuyun, why don’t you come with me to the wedding tomorrow? It’ll be boring going alone."
"Yeah, sure!" Ye Liuyun agreed. After all, he didn’t have much planned for tomorrow.
[But I haven’t heard of any wedding in the plot. It must be something outside of it!]
The longer Ye Liuyun stayed in this world, the more he realized how real it was.
The novel only covered Long Tian’s plot. There were many other people besides him!
"By the way, who’s getting married tomorrow?"
"I’m not too sure either." You Yu shrugged, sounding unconcerned. "The bride’s name is Yin Danxue. The Yin family does business with our family, so we’re close. That’s why my dad asked me to go to the wedding."
"I see." Ye Liuyun nodded, understanding. It was definitely something outside the novel’s plot. After all, there was no mention of a Yin family in the story! But if they were doing business with the You family, they must be quite wealthy. "Who’s the groom?"
"I have no idea!"
"You have no idea?" Ye Liuyun found it strange. It was a wedding, after all. Wouldn’t people be curious about the groom?
You Yu shrugged helplessly: "I really don’t know. The Yin family isn’t marrying off their daughter; they’re bringing in a son-in-law!"
[A son-in-law?]
Ye Liuyun thought about it and realized it wasn’t that strange.
For a wealthy family, it was normal not to want to marry off their daughter and instead bring in a son-in-law. "Has no one paid attention to this son-in-law?"
[Even if he’s a son-in-law, people should still be curious!]
You Yu shrugged, “Not really. I heard this all happened rather suddenly. The old lady of the Yin family unexpectedly arranged this marriage for Yin Danxue. No one knew about it beforehand, not even Yin Danxue herself!"
"..."
[This plot!]
[Why does this sound so familiar to me?]
[What’s going on here?]
Ye Liuyun then asked, "Is this son-in-law of hers someone with no status or background?"
"Yes! Exactly!" You Yu nodded quickly, agreeing with Ye Liuyun’s strange reaction. "The entire Yin family opposes this marriage, but the old lady insisted on it!" You Yu continued, recalling the gossip. This incident had caused quite a stir in their circle, becoming a hot topic.
"..."
[Good grief, this is a classic novel's plot!]
[Isn’t this straight out of a son-in-law novel?]
[What’s going on here?]
Ye Liuyun couldn’t believe it.
Meanwhile, his thoughts made You Yu a little confused. After all, she had no idea what a son-in-law novel was.
Seeing Ye Liuyun deep in thought, You Yu asked him gently, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing!" Ye Liuyun snapped out of it and simply shook his head.
[Whether it’s a son-in-law plot or not, I’ll know once I see it!]
[Everything will become clear tomorrow. "Alright, I’ll go with you to this wedding.]
"Uh-huh!" Although still unsure of the situation, You Yu didn’t hesitate at all. She nodded seriously, very pleased with his decision.
...
The Yin family was a well-known wealthy family in Hai city.
Naturally, the wedding of their eldest daughter attracted a lot of attention.
"Sister Danxue, why do you think your grandmother wants to marry you to that good-for-nothing poor boy?" Yin Danxue sat quietly as the makeup artist carefully applied her makeup.
Meanwhile, a girl around the same age, with equally delicate features, expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Since it’s Grandma’s arrangement, she must have her reasons." Though she said this, there was clear dissatisfaction in Yin Danxue’s eyes. The Yin family was led by Yin Danxue’s grandmother, and no one dared to defy her word.
"I think the old lady must be old and confused!" The girl was clearly upset over her best friend’s situation.
"Alright, that’s enough!" Yin Danxue shook her head slightly. There were some things her best friend could say, but she couldn’t.
"It’s almost time. Fu Zhi, let’s go."
"Alright!" Fu Zhi, the girl, could only nod in agreement.
-To be continued!
