Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 866 - 865: Shine My Shoes!

"Sister, we've been standing outside for so long, won't you let us come in and sit?"

Yuan Haocai looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, this was her sister's home, yet her husband and son both displayed contempt and disdain, which did not make her look good either.

However, she was helpless. The financial power at home was entirely controlled by her husband, and her son had been learning business from him over the years. Gradually, her son's personality had become like his father's. Regarding this, Yuan Haocai had no means to intervene, as she had very little say in her household.

Now, seeing them targeting her sister, she quickly tried to change the subject to ease out of this awkward situation.

"Yes, yes, yes, please come in quickly."

Yuan Shanshan's mother felt equally embarrassed by the remarks made by Xia Tianjia and his son. If she hadn't been a well-mannered person, she might not have cared, but if it had been Hao Jian, he would have thrown a punch already.

Upon hearing her sister's words, she quickly nodded and reached out to pull Yuan Shanshan and Hao Jian aside, allowing the three of them to come in.

Seeing their arrogant demeanor in her own home, Yuan Shanshan was infuriated and wanted to free herself from her mother's grasp, but before she could act, Hao Jian's hand gently landed on her shoulder, followed by his faint smile.

"What are you doing?"

Yuan Shanshan was extremely upset. Why was Hao Jian stopping her?!

"I don't mind if you get angry, but this time it's your mom who invited me for dinner. If this gathering gets ruined because of you, I will be upset..."

Hao Jian's laughter reached Yuan Shanshan's ears, and her aunt beside him nodded, saying to Yuan Shanshan, "Shanshan, don't be angry. Perhaps Hao Jian is even more upset than you are. Just let it slide this time with your uncle..."

"Is it just a matter of millions? My net worth is in the hundreds of billions..."

Yuan Shanshan muttered quietly. Since winning the championship in Paris and with her Luoshen, Yuan Shanshan's fame had already spread internationally. However, this was only known among high-level individuals, and her uncle did not belong to that group. They were unaware that their so-prideful net worth meant nothing in her eyes.

If it weren't for her mother and Hao Jian stopping her, she would have disclosed her net worth by now.

"You still don't understand your aunt's hardships."

Hao Jian, who had good hearing, heard Yuan Shanshan's mutter and helplessly shook his head, saying, "Your aunt doesn't want to stir trouble. Besides, you know how thick-skinned this father and son are. If they knew about your net worth, wouldn't they shamelessly come over? Then what would you have your aunt do to refuse them?"

"This is the helplessness among relatives. Moreover, don't be too upset. I promise if they go too far, I'll teach them a lesson, and I believe your aunt won't refuse, right?"

Having said that, Hao Jian turned his head to look at Yuan Shanshan's mother, his smile carrying a hint of anger. Even a clay figurine has a sense of pride, let alone someone like Hao Jian? If it wasn't for his reluctance to quarrel too much and considering this was at the invitation of Yuan Shanshan's mother, it would not be good if the gathering was ruined because of him.

"It's fine, aunt has long been displeased with this father and son duo. If it weren't for Haocai, I would not want to have any dealings with them. I didn't expect them to suddenly show up this time, and it seems like they are planning to stay here. Please bear with them a bit more."

Yuan Shanshan's mother also shook her head, watching the three constantly smiling under Yuan Zhibang's influence, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Aunt, you go ahead and get busy. Later I will pull some strings, find a better place, and set your family up there, deploying a few bodyguards to watch over. That way, if they come over again, you won't have to worry about their words."

After nodding slightly, Hao Jian made this suggestion, which caused Yuan Shanshan's mother to nod her head. She was also thinking that since her children were grown up and doing well, naturally they should live better.

"Alright, I'll go get busy now."

Having said this, Yuan Shanshan's mother quickly went to the kitchen, where she was still cooking.

"I told you, aunt will definitely care about these things."

Seeing Yuan Shanshan's mother enter the kitchen, Hao Jian turned his head, looked at Yuan Shanshan with a chuckle, and said, "You shouldn't get too upset about this. If you get too angry, I, Hao Jian, might not be able to keep myself from dealing with these relatives of yours, because no one can look down on my woman."

"Who... who is your woman?!"

Hearing the initial part was okay, but the latter part was somewhat inappropriate, causing Yuan Shanshan to coyly speak out. Yet she didn't know why, hearing that sentence, she felt very sweet.

And the anger caused by the derogatory comments of her uncle and cousin also dissipated quite a bit in that moment, and her coquettish demeanor was enchanting in Hao Jian's eyes.

"Haha, my woman is the prettiest!"

Hao Jian laughed out loud, then pulled Yuan Shanshan towards the sofa, whispering in her ear as they walked, "I want to see what kind of unpleasant words your uncle will say next."

"Be gentle with your hands!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shanshan worried Hao Jian might go too far, although her mother had agreed to let Hao Jian take action, it should not be too much; after all, they are relatives...

"Hehe, don't you know about my hands and feet? Shall we try them out on the bed someday?"

Hao Jian chuckled weirdly, causing Yuan Shanshan to giggle coyly.

"Yo? A poor guy still dares to stay for a free meal? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

Initially having a pleasant conversation with Yuan Zhibang, Xia Yuanlai turned disdainful and contemptuous when he saw Hao Jian approaching. Looking at Hao Jian who was not dressed in international brands, he scoffed, "You have the nerve to wear that without a top-notch Armani suit?"

"Oh? Does having money mean you must wear expensive clothes?"

"Of course, that's how we show off our status! Unlike you, dressed all shabby!" Xia Yuanlai looked at Hao Jian with disdain and, after saying that, became too lazy to continue the conversation. He turned his head away, pulled out his diamond-studded phone, and began fiddling with it.

His father sat on the sofa, visibly impatient, constantly complaining about the shabbiness of Yuan Haocai's sister's family, which made a still smiling Yuan Zhibang increasingly furious, although his rationality told him not to turn against his uncle just yet...

Thus, the atmosphere in the living room fell silent. Besides Hao Jian occasionally teasing Yuan Shanshan, causing her to cover her mouth and giggle, the three members of Xia Tianjia's family were left to nitpick about Yuan Shanshan's home. The occasional glances they shot at Hao Jian were filled with disdain, which infuriated Yuan Shanshan.

Damn it, letting you in here is already giving you face. If you anger me, believe it or not, I could make your company go bankrupt in minutes?!

Yuan Shanshan silently raged inside. Don't underestimate her influence now; even without relying on Hao Jian's power, just chatting with some international celebrities could be enough to ruin Xia Tianjia's company, which is only worth thirty million.

As for Yuan Zhibang, afraid that his anger might suddenly burst, once he saw the living room temporarily quiet down, he quickly made up an excuse and ran to the kitchen to help his mother.

"Alright, let's eat!"

When the clock passed half past twelve, Yuan Shanshan's mother also came out of the kitchen with the last dish in hand, placed it on the dining table, and clapped her hands towards the living room to invite everyone to eat.

Upon hearing the call to eat, Xia Tianjia and his son snorted softly, full of disdain. What could these poor relatives possibly serve that's high-class? It would be better to dine in a fancy restaurant.

Xia Tianjia was tempted to suggest to his wife that they should eat at a fancy restaurant and he would happily pay for it. However, seeing his wife's continuous silent dry laughter, he grew quite impatient. Why did she insist on coming to see her sister? Couldn't these poor relatives just be forgotten?

"It's been years since I had a meal cooked by my sister, and I've been craving it for so long!"

Yuan Haocai ignored the glares from her husband and son, took the lead and sat down at the dining table. Most of the dishes were familiar from more than a decade ago. Although the attitude of her husband and son made her feel quite guilty, she quickly invited everyone else to sit down.

The dishes on the table weren't very special, mostly what ordinary households would make, but the amount was quite large, a total of thirteen dishes, plus two soups.

The dishes consisted of six vegetarian and seven meat dishes, and soups included pork stomach and chicken soup, which were really not bad.

"What kind of food is this? It tastes so bad!"

Xia Yuanlai casually picked up a piece of chicken, barely tasted it with his tongue, and immediately frowned, then threw it down on the table...

"Snap!"

Whether it was the angle or the force, the licked piece of chicken slid off the edge of the table and landed on his shoes worth twelve thousand, annoying him greatly.

He glanced around the table, noticed Hao Jian sitting just one seat away from him, and sneered, "Poor kid, my shoes are dirty, give me a cloth to wipe them right now!"

The moment he uttered these words, all movement at the table abruptly stopped, all went quiet...
