Chapter 1348: 1048 father-in-law came 2 Chapter 1348: 1048 father-in-law came 2 “The one who just went upstairs is our boss,” the waiter asked.

“May I know what business you have with our boss?”

“Tell him to come down and see me,” the elderly man’s demeanor was still quite grand.

The waiter was somewhat displeased, and had it not been for the training received at the Xiao Mansion not to lose temper with customers, he would have wanted to send this old fellow packing.

“You might as well speak about your business with our boss, so that I may convey the message upstairs?”

“Listen well!” the elderly man said haughtily, “I am your shopkeeper lady Su Qingyue’s father, and your boss’s father-in-law!”

His voice was so loud that all the diners in the lobby of the New Moon Restaurant were stunned for a moment.

Seeing the elderly man’s appearance, the waiter did not believe he was lying.

Thinking that if he truly was the shopkeeper lady’s father, he could not afford to offend him, he said, “I will go and fetch the boss.”

Shortly after the waiter went upstairs, Xiao Yuchuan came down from the second floor and looked towards the elderly couple at the entrance of the restaurant.

The man was dressed in silk robes, with a square face and a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

The woman’s eyeballs were yellowed, her hair done up in the plain style of common women, with a big mouth and a flat nose aEUR” not only was she not pretty, but she was also somewhat ugly.

The couple was dressed decently, clearly not poor people.

While Xiao Yuchuan scrutinized the couple, they also sized him up.

The elderly man said, “So this is the son-in-law, looking handsome, dignified, and elegant, with a face fair enough to befit my daughter’s husband.”

“You areaEUR|” Xiao Yuchuan was highly suspicious.

“What ‘you are’!

You’re nothing!” the elderly man snapped, “I am your wife’s father, your father-in-law.

Shouldn’t you be kneeling when you see me?”

“…” Xiao Yuchuan felt as if a crow had just flown over in the clear sky.

“Please wait a moment.”

Having said that, he went back inside the restaurant.

Watching Xiao Yuchuan’s retreating figure, the elderly man cursed, “What kind of son-in-law is this, leaving his father-in-law waiting outside the door?

Look at the sun shining out here; what if I get a sunstroke?”

“Exactly,” the elderly woman chimed in, hands on her hips.

“Son-in-law, if you continue like this, aren’t you afraid that the old lady will have your wife remarry?”

All the diners in the New Moon Restaurant turned their gaze towards the couple at the entrance.

They thought that the parents-in-law of the restaurant’s boss were not easy to deal with.

And they saw Xiao Yuchuan sitting unhurriedly behind the counter, poking at the abacus.

After a short while, the waiter who had been sent out returned from the Xiao Mansion, whispering a few words to Xiao Yuchuan.

Xiao Yuchuan looked coldly at the elderly couple for a moment, “Just now, I sent the waiter to the Mansion to inform my wife that her parents had arrived.

My wife says her parents have long passed away.

If you are imposters, do not blame me for being impolite!”

He had asked the couple to wait because he wanted to know his wife’s stance.

He had the waiter go to the Mansion to tell his wife that if she recognized these parents, he would act the part of a good son-in-law and provide for the elderly couple with food, drink, and kind words.

If his wife did not acknowledge them, naturally, he would not either.

“You insolent boy, you don’t recognize your own father-in-law!” the elderly man said furiously.

“I am Su Dashui from Liuan Town.

Your wife Su Qingyue is my daughter; go to Liuan Town and ask around if you don’t believe me!”

“Can daughters and sons-in-law be acknowledged so arbitrarily?” Su Qin, the elderly woman, said angrily.

“Our Su Family is not poor.

In Liuan Town, we own twenty acres of farmland and live comfortably.

Are you afraid of acknowledging us, thinking we’ll cause you trouble?”

“My wife said her parents are dead, so they are dead,” Xiao Yuchuan snorted.

“Whatever you say is useless!”
