Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

“If you do not have enough pocket money, I will give you a little so that you can buy them food! I am not going,” Hao Ren said to Zhao Yanzi when she pulled Hao Ren to the outside of the building.

He wasn’t interested in dealing with little girls in middle school.

“You have to go!” Zhao Yanzi read Hao Ren’s schedule before and knew that he had no classes in the afternoon.

She pushed Hao Ren to the front of the bicycle and then put the key in his hands.

Hao Ren was forced to go and had no other way. He thought that Zhao Yanzi would start school tomorrow, and Grade Nine had a heavy workload, meaning that she probably would not be able to bother him every day. He rode on the bicycle and carried Zhao Yanzi to Hongji Square.

The sky was a bit gloomy; it looked like a rainstorm was coming.

“Sit still!” Hao Ren reminded her.

“Ok!” Zhao Yanzi put her face up against Hao Ren’s back happily and wrapped her hands around his waist.

“Haha, no matter what, Hao Ren still cares about me!” she thought.

“Boom…” The bicycle dashed forward like a car, and Zhao Yanzi screamed and grabbed Hao Ren’s waist in a hurry so that she would not fall. At that moment, the sky suddenly became cloudy.

The bicycle rushed to the west gate of the school, heading to Hongji Square.

“Zi! Zi!” Ling and the other girls were waiting for Zhao Yanzi at the entrance of Hongji Square. They were cheerfully jumping and waving when they saw her.

“Coming! Coming!” Zhao Yanzi grabbed Hao Ren’s arm with one hand and waved to them with the other.

Hao Ren was a bit embarrassed. If he were Zhao Yanzi’s brother, it would be alright. But as her boyfriend and fiancé, it was a little…

Hao Ren parked the bicycle in the parking area of Hongji Square. Xue Ling, Gu Yan, and Liu Qiqi who were in light blue uniforms immediately circled him.

With curious expressions, they looked at Hao Ren from head to toe. The last time when Hao Ren went to Zhao Yanzi’s dorm to help, he did not communicate with them.

“Uncle said that he would buy us barbecue.” Zhao Yanzi jumped off the back seat of the bicycle and said happily.

“Thank you, Uncle!” the three girls shouted in unison.

Hao Ren started sweating and thought, “What is this…”

Rumble… Rain began pouring down from the dark clouds.

“Ah! It’s raining!” Zhao Yanzi immediately took Hao Ren’s arm and dragged him across the road to the barbecue shop on the opposite side.

Her small hand grabbed Hao Ren’s tightly; it seemed like a natural reflex.

Ling and the other girls followed behind. They looked at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi who were standing together and a bit wet and felt that they fit each other quite well.

Zhao Yanzi realized that she was holding Hao Ren and blushed. She took back her arm and said, “Okay! Okay! Since Uncle said that he is treating everyone, you should try your best to eat!”

“Yay!” The three girls immediately sat down and picked up the menu.

Hao Ren began to sweat again. He was not good at dealing with little girls from middle school.

Outside, the rumbling torrential rain immediately covered Hongji Square like a white curtain. There were no students in the square outside.

It was hot and steamy in the barbeque shop, which was a sharp contrast to the rainstorm outside. Ling and the other girls did not go easy on Hao Ren and ordered all kinds of meat skewers and a variety of delicious drinks.

“Let me formally introduce him. This is my bf, Hao Ren! You can call him Uncle if you want!” Zhao Yanzi said, leaning on Hao Ren and facing her three roommates.

“Uncle!” The three girls smiled and shouted together.

Hao Ren slightly lowered his head and sweated hard. The little girls nowadays gave him a lot of stress.

“Generation gap, generation gap…” he thought.

He anticipated that there were going to be more girls, but it turned out to be only Zhao Yanzi’s three roommates. It seemed that Zhao Yanzi also knew boundaries.

“Uncle, I will introduce you to them. This is Xue Ling, we all call her Ling. This is Gu Yan, we call her Yanyan, but you can’t call her that! This is Liu Qiqi, we call her Qiqi,” Zhao Yanzi introduced her three classmates to Hao Ren.

“Hello,” Hao Ren replied. Although they had been sitting together and eating, he was still not used to it.

“Uncle is very shy,” Gu Yu teased.

Hao Ren smiled helplessly. Who would have thought that he needed to meet Zhao Yanzi’s classmates?

At this time, the waiter brought a dozen lamb skewers to their table.

“Thank you, Uncle!” They picked up the delicious-smelling skewers and thanked Hao Ren.

They ate meat skewers and chit-chatted about things related to the start of school. For example, they talked about how Zhao Yanzi did not wear a school uniform, which would lead them to be scolded by the teachers in the class meeting in the afternoon, how their parents forced them to preview their textbooks, and how Zhao Yanzi ranked high in the last final exam…

This was the last day of their summer vacation before the start of school, so most of the students who would be boarding already arrived in the new LingZhao Middle School

After a day or two of researching, they had already become familiar with Hongji Square.

Therefore, middle school students were often seen in the past two days here.

The rainstorm suddenly stopped, and another group of customers came into the restaurant.

“It’s Yu Qing and her friends from Class Six…” Ling glanced at the door and said.

“Don’t worry about them.” Zhao Yanzi turned her head slightly, pretending not to see them.

“Zi!” The students who came in saw Zhao Yanzi, and she led her friends came over to say hello.

The leader was tall and slender, appearing more mature.

She stared at Zhao Yanzi and then at Hao Ren who was beside Zhao Yanzi and said, “Zi, why don’t you introduce us?”

“Just my brother; nothing to introduce,” Zhao Yanzi replied.

“I heard that he is your boyfriend. Zi, you are quiet, but you are actually very good, getting yourself a boyfriend who is in university,” thus girl exposed her and said.

Zhao Yanzi looked impatient and did not pay attention to her.

LingZhao Middle School had strong faculties, so many influential people sent their children to study there. However, the school worried that the students’ family backgrounds would vary too much and create conflicts, so they also accepted ordinary students. Those students were all put into Class Two, which was the unwritten rule of LingZhao Middle School.

Like Ling, Gu Yan and Liu Qiqi, their family backgrounds were relatively ordinary. They loved to play occasionally, but they were still diligent students.

Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was ignoring her, this girl could not hold it and touched the table with her hand. “Zi, why don’t you talk?”

The table was not fixed to the ground. When it was touched, several skewers that were on a plate rolled off the table.

This instantly provoked Zhao Yanzi. “What are you doing, Yu Qing?”

“Hey, why so fierce?” Yu Qing looked at Zhao Yanzi and then at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren did not wear glasses, but he still appeared decent and gentle.

Yu Qing heard about Hao Ren driving a Ferrari to pick up Zhao Yanzi before the summer break. But now seeing Hao Ren in person, she felt that he was only a very ordinary university student.

Yu Qing also heard that Zhao Yanzi’s mom had driven a Ferrari to pick up Zhao Yanzi a few times before, so she suspected that Zhao Yanzi’s mom was working at a car rental shop. Using the car for once or twice was normal.

Moreover, she looked at Hao Ren’s outfit, which was an unbranded shirt. Also, the necklace, the wallet, and the mobile phone placed on the table were not from famous brands as well. He did not look like a child of wealthy parents.

Compared with last time when he deliberately dressed up to pick up Zhao Yanzi in a Ferrari, he was completely ‘exposed’ today.

Hao Ren initially did not want to participate in the bickering between the middle school girls. After seeing that Zhao Yanzi wasn’t talking and was about to erupt, he said, “We are eating here. Can you not gather around here? It is getting very hot.”

Hao Ren’s words were quite polite, which made Yu Qing confirm that Hao Ren was definitely not from a rich family. She smiled and said, “Zi, your boyfriend is very generous, buying you barbecue; so expensive.”

When she finished this sentence, she led five girls to a table in the shop.

Zhao Yanzi clenched her fists and almost rushed over to beat her up.

Yu Qing took a few steps and suddenly turned back. “Zi, what is your boyfriend’s name? It just so happens that my cousin is also at East Ocean University. I will let him ask around, just in case that you have been lied to.”

Her words sounded as if she was thinking for Zhao Yanzi, but that taunting tone was obvious.

“What is your cousin’s name?” Hao Ren asked her.

Yu Qing was waiting for this sentence. She smiled proudly and said, “My cousin is Huang Xujie! You should know him at East Ocean University!”

“Puff…” Hao Ren was almost choked on his own breath and lost grip of the cup in his hand.

“She is Huang Xujie’s cousin; no wonder she behaves in the same way,” he thought.

Yu Qing saw Hao Ren’s reaction and was even more proud. “Hey, are you afraid?”

Her eyes were fixed on Zhao Yanzi. “Don’t mess with me at school. Otherwise, I will let my cousin teach your boyfriend a lesson!”

She threw out this sentence arrogantly then finally sat down at her table. She hated Zhao Yanzi because all the boys she liked favored Zhao Yanzi, so she lost a lot of face.

In particular, she took the initiative to pursue Xie Xiaofeng who was in the High School Department, but he refused her confession and invited Zhao Yanzi to karaoke instead.

“What’s good about Zhao Yanzi? Why do all boys like her!” Every time she thought about this, Yu Qing would have a fever of jealousy in her eyes.

“R*tard!” Zhao Yanzi turned to Yu Qing and snorted.

“Zi, forget it. Don’t worry about these kinds of people.” Seeing Zhao Yanzi getting angry, Ling and the other girls quickly tried to comfort her.

Yu Qing’s family had a business and money. Also, rumor had it that she also had an uncle who was a deputy mayor. Ling and the other girls had the attitude of keeping things at ease because they feared that Zhao Yanzi would suffer.

Zhao Yanzi clenched her teeth and turned to ask Hao Ren, “Who is Huang Xujie?”

“An idiot; don’t worry about him,” Hao Ren replied.

Zhao Yanzi was popular in school, but she never bullied others. Hao Ren didn’t want to see Zhao Yanzi being bullied, but he also didn’t want to bicker with a middle school girl.

He suddenly had an idea.

Thinking of this, he turned to the girl named Yu Qing and said, “Tell your cousin to come over.”
