Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 318: Sometimes You Have to Keep Up Appearances

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Sometimes You Have to Keep Up Appearances

Just now, everyone was disparaging and mocking Ye Shanhe.

But actually, most people still want to become Ye Shanhe; that’s human nature.

And now, Chen Xiaobei doesn’t need to sacrifice his dignity to achieve the status of a guest elder, which is something many people wouldn’t even dare dream of!

Even if Chen Xiaobei agrees, everyone would find it understandable. They would bless him rather than despise him like they do Ye Shanhe.

In their hearts, Chen Xiaobei is already synonymous with a hero!

Qin Shihua also smiled and said, "Once you become a guest elder, all the family’s cultivation resources will be open to you, and you will receive a Tiger Blood Pill like the one before every year."

"Your future will be limitless, Mr. Chen, please consider it carefully."

"Brother Chen..."

Even He Zixuan couldn’t help but remind him since this is a chance to soar high.

"Mr. Chen, if you’re decided, come with me."

Qin Zhengyang smiled indifferently, appearing confident of victory.

He believed that Chen Xiaobei would not refuse him.

However, Chen Xiaobei glanced at the various expressions on the faces around him, took a deep breath, and seriously said:

"Sorry, I cannot go with you!"

"If you agree, then..."

Qin Zhengyang’s speech was cut off midway, his smile suddenly froze, and he stared at Chen Xiaobei in shock:

"What did you say?"

"You heard it, I don’t want to repeat it again."

Chen Xiaobei sighed helplessly.

Honestly, the Qin Family’s offer this time was really good and respectful towards Chen Xiaobei.

But even if they were to treat him like a deity, Chen Xiaobei couldn’t leave with Qin Zhengyang, could he?

If he left, what would happen to Xi Yao? What would happen to himself?

Therefore, Chen Xiaobei cannot leave Songshan, at least not until he rescues Xi Yao from the Dragon Locking Formation!

As these words came out, everyone suddenly took a cold breath and looked at Chen Xiaobei incredulously.

Everyone simultaneously thought, has Chen Xiaobei gone mad?

Such a great opportunity that we can only dream of, and you choose to refuse?

If you don’t want it, I do!

Everyone was crazy with jealousy!

Only Murong Xiaoyi remained unchanged in her expression, completely unsurprised.

She alone knows the ins and outs of Chen Xiaobei and understands his rebellious character. How could the mere Qin Family make him bow down?

Although the Lu Yang Qin Family is a prestigious family, in front of the Demon Realm Queen, they’re but ants!

Murong Xiaoyi thought both Qin Zhengyang and Ye Shanhe were laughable. They had no idea what level of existence they were facing, simply making themselves a laughingstock.

Just give Chen Xiaobei a little time, and he can put the whole world beneath his feet!

Of course, there was no need for Murong Xiaoyi to say these things aloud because they wouldn’t believe her anyway.

And Chen Xiaobei naturally couldn’t speak the truth, but even if he couldn’t tell the truth, he could still keep up appearances.

Thus, he declared heroically,

"If I leave, what will happen to Songshan?"

"Everyone here offended the Ye Family fiercely because of me today!"

"If I leave, the Ye Family can’t harm me, but they will vent their anger on Songshan! They will vent it on Elder Zhong and these innocent officers from the Security Department."

"If I go, what will happen to them? What will happen to Murong Xiaoyi? Can the Qin Family protect them all?"

Qin Zhengyang’s face turned unsightly, protect everyone?

How could that be possible!

Chen Xiaobei grinned: "So, I must stay! If Ye Shanhe wants to come, let him come! I, Chen Xiaobei, stand tall without fear!"

"Even if I die! I will die standing!"

After speaking, Chen Xiaobei struck a posture of indomitable defiance, feeling quite pleased with himself — at least he’d score a ninety out of a hundred!

But why aren’t you cheering?

Chen Xiaobei muttered to himself, was my act a bit stiff, not smooth enough?

He looked around in confusion, only to find the entire audience silent! Everyone was staring dumbly at him.

Just as Chen Xiaobei was starting to lose his composure...

"Brother Chen..."

He Zixuan was deeply moved, her eyes once again shimmering with tears, her expression of admiration extremely intense.

She exclaimed emotionally, "Brother Chen, you are noble! Brother Chen, you are truly a hero!!"

As if a spark fell into a barrel of oil, the scene erupted instantly!

"Mr. Chen is noble!"

"Mr. Chen is a saint!"

"Sworn to defend Mr. Chen!"

The waves of cheers rose and fell, deafeningly, with He Zixuan throwing herself into Chen Xiaobei’s arms.

Because Ye Shanhe came suddenly, the two hadn’t finished before He Zixuan rushed out without time to wear underwear, so she was genuinely in a vacuum inside, the feeling, oh so soft.

"For me?"

Murong Xiaoyi was momentarily stunned, that phrase from Chen Xiaobei, "If I leave, what will happen to Murong Xiaoyi?", made her somewhat dazed.

He chose to stay instead of letting go of this rare chance for my sake?

Though Murong Xiaoyi knew Chen Xiaobei couldn’t possibly agree with Qin Zhengyang, she couldn’t deny that his words touched her heart a bit.

Those words, like a pebble, stirred slight ripples in the otherwise tranquil lake of her heart.

She gazed at Chen Xiaobei, embraced by the crowd, unyielding and valorous beyond compare, unintentionally caught in a trance.

Qin Zhengyang stared at Chen Xiaobei under the cheers of the masses, his expression somewhat displeased, as Qin Ninth Young Master, nobody has ever refused his invitation.

But now, he was rejected by Chen Xiaobei!

This made him quite discontent!

"Chen Xiaobei, do you know whom you are refusing?"

"Mr. Qin, I don’t mean any disrespect, but some lives are too brilliant to be confined!"

Chen Xiaobei smiled confidently and brightly.

"Young man, your paths have been too smooth, making you somewhat arrogant."

Qin Zhengyang spoke indifferently.

"If not arrogant now, then when dead?"

"Youth without impudence is wasted time!"

Chen Xiaobei laughed aloud.

"Mr. Chen, if you apologize to my father now, he might still forgive you!"

Qin Shihua frowned and said, the arrogance clashed with the cautious education she received since childhood, typical of the mentality of lowly people!

Made her extremely displeased.

But considering Chen Xiaobei’s kindness in saving her life, she still spoke out to mediate, plus Chen Xiaobei’s miraculous medical skills, indeed made Qin Shihua hold him in high regard.

A boy hero the Qin Family might overlook, but a Divine Doctor with miraculous skills is a different story.

"No need." Yet Qin Zhengyang shook his head and said coldly, "I, Qin Zhengyang, never give second chances!"

"From now on, the grievances between us are settled, and if the Ye Family targets you again, it’s unrelated to the Qin Family!"

After speaking, he turned to leave, and his men left behind all sorts of medicinal materials, following suit.

"I thought you would soar to break the shackles of class, but to think you still can’t scrub away the grassroots nature..."

"Seems like you and I are ultimately not from the same world!"

Qin Shihua looked at Chen Xiaobei, with a regrettable expression.

In her view, Chen Xiaobei, who was overly arrogant, truly lacked the solid, noble temperament of a family with generational inheritance.

Which also destined, Chen Xiaobei wouldn’t go too far, arrogant prodigies often fall halfway — she had seen many such examples.

But she instantly dispelled these thoughts.

This was the decisiveness cultivated by a great family.

Since Chen Xiaobei won’t be from the same class as her in the future and might even soon die at Ye Shanhe’s hands, there’s no need for her to continue wasting effort on him.

Chen Xiaobei lost the value she had to pay attention to!

But as she turned to leave.

She heard Chen Xiaobei’s voice behind her, carrying a faint smile.

"Miss Qin, are you so sure I can’t deal with the Ye Family?"
