Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"Dad! Stop…" Hao Zhonghua already flung the door open before Hao Ren could finish speaking.

To him, going into his son's room was for sure not a problem.

"Why is it so messy?" Hao Zhonghua looked at Hao Ren and said to him in dissatisfaction.

Hao Ren turned around and looked like Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were enveloped by red energy spheres. He rubbed his nose because he was embarrassed, and he said, "I'll fold my blankets right away."

"Hurry up!" Hao Zhonghua opened Hao Ren's closet and chose a pair of medium-length pants and a polo shirt.

Then, he threw the clothes to Hao Ren.

Hao Zhonghua usually never cared to bother Hao Ren.

Since they needed to catch their flight, Hao Zhonghua had to rush Hao Ren today.

"Change your underwear too!" Hao Zhonghua threw a new pair of underwear to Hao Ren.

Because it was summer, Hao Ren was only wearing his underwear when he slept. It felt like at this moment, Hao Zhonghua was supervising Hao Ren.

"Dad…" Hao Ren picked up his underwear and shouted.

"What? Are you shy in front of me?" Hao Zhonghua stared at Hao Ren.

"Um… um…" Hao Ren hid inside his blankets. Then, he took his underwear off and put on the new one.

Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren and put her hands over her mouth, trying not to laugh.

On the other hand, Lu Lili blushed, but it was clear that she was trying to hold back as well.

"Hurry up. Don't be so slow." Hao Zhonghua dragged Hao Ren out and slapped him on the butt.

This was something between father and son, but it was really interesting in Lu Linlin and Lu Lili's eyes.

"Gongzi… We'll help you wash your underwear…" The Lu sisters snuck into Hao Ren's blankets and said to him lightly when Hao Ren was being dragged out of the room by his dad.

Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were waiting in the living room; they were all dressed up and ready to leave.

Xie Yujia had a large leather suitcase with her, and she had packed quite a lot of clothes because she was going to spend the summer in the U.S.

Elder Sun's car was parked in front of the house.

It was a stretched black Lincoln which looked incredibly stunning. It felt like they weren't just going to the airport to catch a flight. Instead, they were going to get married.

Hao Ren remembered that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were still in his bed, and he was a little scared.

When he cultivated, he never fell asleep.

It was probably because the sisters gave him some sort of medicine so that he couldn't stay awake.

"These two girls are getting more and more daring. I will have to talk to them after I come back," Hao Ren thought.

"Why is your hair still so messy?" Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and went over to help him smooth out his hair.

Zhao Yanzi snorted and thought, "I know that I couldn't just let these two be alone with each other."

Hao Ren helped Xie Yujia carry her luggage to Elder Sun's car, and the vehicle arrived at the airport in only half an hour.

Zhao Hongyu was waiting for them, and she had a pile of photo IDs in her hand.

"Mom!"

Zhao Yanzi flew across the street and jumped into Zhao Hongyu's arms.

"Mr. Hao." Zhao Hongyu nodded elegantly at Zhao Zhonghua while Zhao Yanzi was still in her arms.

"Mrs. Zhao. Thank you so much for this." Zhao Zhonghua shook Zhao Hongyu's hand lightly.

"No worries. We're a family. It's my pleasure." Zhao Hongyu smiled gently as she led them to the VIP Lounge.

Zhao Hongyu booked first-class tickets for everyone. Since the flight from East Ocean City to New York City took over ten hours, she didn't want them to suffer.

The first-class cabin was filled with large and adjustable seats.

Zhao Yanzi wanted to sit with her mom but also with Hao Ren. She hesitated for a moment and ended up choosing the seat next to Hao Ren.

Hao Zhonghua picked up a magazine and started to read. He liked Xie Yujia more than Zhao Yanzi. He didn't dislike Zhao Yanzi, but he just thought she was still too young.

The plane flew into the sky, and their journey had just started.

If Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and Zhao Yanzi were riding on Little White, they would have arrived much faster. However, they wouldn't be able to explain how they got to the U.S. to others.

Hao Ren took Xie Yujia to the U.S. since she missed her parents so much.

Now that she came to the U.S. legally, she was able to see them officially. She was filled with excitement.

Hao Ren looked at her happy face and understood that Xie Yujia was a person with filial piety.

Most passengers were sleeping through the long flight, but Hao Ren quietly cultivated his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. He could not risk getting complacent.

He turned over to Xie Yujia and saw that she looked extremely serious. He knew that she too was cultivating, and she was probably working on the Spells' Origin Note Scroll the old Grandma gave her.

He then turned over to look at Zhao Yanzi who was sitting in front of him, and he saw that she was sound asleep.

She even had opened her mouth wide, and her tongue was hanging out.

She was only passionate about things for a very short amount of time, so she was only slightly more diligent than before in cultivation.

...

The cabin lights signaled that they were arriving at New York City.

Hao Ren looked out the window and saw the vibrant New York City under the thin layer of fluffy white clouds.

The plane hovered for a while before finally landing in the Kennedy Airport.

"Mom! We're here!" Zhao Yanzi shouted in excitement. She was so bored from the long flight.

Zhao Yanzi had been to the U.S. before, but back then, Zhao Hongyu took her here using the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Mountain

Outside the airport, two luxury cars with Mingri Group's logo were waiting for them.

"Second Uncle!" Zhao Yanzi increased her pace and ran toward a thin and tall mid-aged man.

"Hehe. Zi, long time no see." This mid-aged man backed off two steps because Zhao Yanzi had jumped into him. Then he patted her shoulders.

Hao Ren took this opportunity and started observing Zhao Kuan. He was skinny, and his body wasn't as well-built as Zhao Kuo. He had on a pair of gold-framed glasses and looked more elegant than Zhao Guang.

Second Uncle's two sons were beside him. One looked like he was in his late twenties, and the other was still a teenager. The young man wore a pair of silver-frame glasses, and he looked refined; he was probably working now. The younger one was in an American-style t-shirt, shorts, and running shoes, and he also looked like he was well educated.

Hao Ren looked more carefully and realized that Second Uncle still had light blue dragon essence. However, his two sons showed no cultivation strength.

Since he was an inspector now and had his inspector's token with him, he was able to see others' cultivation strength accurately.

It seemed like the sons of Second Uncle lost their dragon bloodline, and they were living as mortals. These two people who were cousins of Zhao Yanzi would never know that their father was a secret dragon cultivator.

"Zhao Kuan, let me introduce you to everyone." Zhao Hongyu walked over and said, "This is Hao Zhonghua, a renowned biology scientist, this is Hao Ren, Mr. Hao's son, and this is Xie Yujia; she is like a daughter to me."

"I've heard a lot about you…" Zhao Kuan shook Hao Zhonghua's hands sincerely.

He had heard all about Hao Zhonghua but never had the chance to meet him. Two years ago, Hao Zhonghua was on the cover of Times Magazine.

Xie Yujia's dad was busy managing his own factory and had no time for magazines, but the president of the Mingri Group's North The U.S. Region definitely paid attention to these!

Zhao Kuan's two sons did not pay attention to Hao Zhonghua but turned their attention to Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia was very beautiful and was close to Zhao Hongyu. These two factors combined made them very interested in Xie Yujia, hoping that Xie Yujia could live in their home.

"Yujia!" a crisp and familiar voice came from behind them.

Xie Yujia turned her head and saw her mom running toward her. She forgot that she was still greeting Zhao Kuan and ran toward her mom.

"Mom!" Xie Yujia hugged her mom tightly, and her voice was filled with sincerity and longing.

Hao Ren who was holding Xie Yujia's luggage also turned and rushed over.

"Mom…" Xie Yujia slowly let go of her mom and saw how her mom had aged a bit.

Tears started falling from her face.

"What's the matter? Did someone bully you?" Xie Yujia's mom cared a lot about her, and she hurried to get out her handkerchief to wipe off Xie Yujia's tears.

"Nothing… I'm just so happy." Xie Yujia cried, but she gave a bright smile. She used the back of her hand to wipe off her tears and caressed her mom's face with love.

"Sigh. If you're really having a hard time, come study in The U.S.," Xie Yujia's mother looked at her daughter and said seriously.

"No…" Xie Yujia looked down and continued to wipe off her tears. "Uncle Hao's family is really kind to me."

"Auntie, Uncle." Hao Ren went over and greeted Xie Yujia's parents.

"Ren, you have grown so much!" Xie Yujia's mom looked at Hao Ren with surprise. She carefully looked at him and said, "You've grown taller, stronger, and even more handsome!"

It was the way a mother-in-law would look at her son-in-law.

"Yes. He looks sturdier than the last time I saw him at East Ocean University!" Xie Yujia's father patted Hao Ren's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Where's your dad?" Xie Yujia's father turned around to ask Hao Ren.

"He's talking over there!" Hao Ren pointed at the exit of the airport.

Hao Zhonghua who was chatting with Zhao Kuan noticed Xie Yujia's parents and hurried over to where Hao Ren was.

"Zi and her mom are going to catch up with her second uncle. Since we are splitting here, we can go now." Zhao Zhonghua said openheartedly.

Hao Ren knew that Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Kuan must have had invited Hao Zhonghua, but his dad chose to catch up with old friends and must have rejected them.

Not far away, Zhao Hongyu waved at Hao Ren before she got into the car with Zhao Yanzi and Second Uncle's family.

"I've told you so many times to come, but you guys delayed it until when the weather is the hottest!" Xie Ming patted Hao Ren's shoulders a few times again.

"We were too busy. Only recently did we have more free time. Since Yujia is coming over for the summer, we brought Ren over to visit as well," Hao Zhonghua said with a smile.

Although he had accomplished much more than Xie Ming, he would not forget his old friend who helped him when he was at the lowest moment of his life.

"Cheng Qian. How's everything these years? Has Xie Ming been bullying you?" Hao Zhonghua asked Xie Yujia's mom with a smile.

"Everything's just the usual. It's not like you and Yue Yang who have accomplished so much." Cheng Qian responded with a smile as well.

Xie Ming and his wife had a relatively successful business in the U.S., and they were able to make a name for themselves here. They had opened two factories and were much better off compared to their friends from school.

Xie Yujia's eyes were still a bit watery, but she couldn't help but smile when she saw the three enjoying themselves in a friendly conversation.

"Yujia, guess who else came?" Xie Ming asked Xie Yujia.

"Who?" Xie Yujia looked around.

Di, di… There was a white van in front, and it beeped to greet them.

"Brother?!"

Suddenly, Xie Yujia's eyes brightened up.

Xie Wanjun was sitting in the car!

He was in a blue worker's shirt and was sitting in the driver's seat.

Xie Yujia lived with Xie Wanjun's family before, and Xie Wanjun was the person who she looked up to in school and life. They shared a deep bond, and she viewed him as her real big brother.

Xie Wanjun also treated his little cousin like his real younger sister. If someone were to bully Xie Yujia, he would be the first to rush over and destroy that person!

That was why no one dared to bully Xie Yujia from elementary school to high school.

Only when she went to university did Hao Ren, the 'bad guy', appear before her.

Xie Yujia was emotional when she saw Xie Wanjun, and Hao Ren also felt warm and a sense of familiarity when he saw Xie Wanjun.

"Stanford is also on summer vacation. He's going to help me out in the factory these two months, and he can get some work experience," Xie Ming smiled and said.

"Why are you still standing here? Let's go find a place to eat!" Cheng Qian reminded Xie Ming.

"Yes. Get on the car! Let's go!" Xie Ming quickly walked toward the white van.

"This car is used to carry some sample products around. We can't fit everyone in our car, so we drove this car over. Hope you don't mind." Xie Ming got in the car, and he sounded a little bit embarrassed.

"Of course we don't mind!" Hao Zhonghua said with a big smile.

He had been in the most luxurious cars when he went to international conferences. However, this type of standard car showed how close he was to his old friend.

Xie Yujia didn't care whether the car was expensive or not. She was happy as long as she could be with her parents.

Xie Wanjun drove smoothly and made a turn into the main road. He seemed familiar with the way around the airport.

The signs here were all in English; Hao Ren felt a bit dizzy just by looking at them.

Since Xie Wanjun was able to drive around so smoothly in such a foreign environment, Hao Ren believed that he was great at English.

Xie Wanjun had obtained a full scholarship for a master's program at Stanford. Although he looked like he was just sporty, he was in no way simple-minded.

Hao Ren's grades weren't even close to Xie Wanjun's, and even Xie Yujia who often ranked first in their class was no match for him.

They went to a Chinese restaurant near Xie Yujia's parents' place. Zhao Zhonghua, Xie Ming, and Cheng Qian were talking about their times when they were young, and they were extremely excited and delighted.

Xie Wanjun had not seen Xie Yujia for months, so he kept asking her about things and people at school, especially the basketball team.

When he found out that the school had got into National College Basketball League's Champion under Zhao Jiayi's lead, he was overjoyed.

Zhao Zhonghua and Xie Ming chatted nonstop, and Cheng Qian also asked a lot about how Xie Yujia was doing.

Hao Ren didn't know what to say when he saw this.

Let's go take a walk outside!" Xie Wanjun bumped Hao Ren lightly with his elbow.

"Ok!" Hao Ren stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Xie Yujia's parents were doing business with foreigners, so they didn't live in Chinatown where most Chinese people lived.

Brooklyn was a better place to live compared to other parts of New York City.

Both Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson grew up in Brooklyn. Not far ahead was Barclays Center, the new home of the Brooklyn Nets.

Hao Ren and Xie Wanjun walked out of the restaurant, and they saw a fenced basketball court across the street.

"Hey, Chinese man!" The three African Americas who were playing basketball in there glared at Hao Ren and Xie Wanjun. They looked unhappy and gave Hao Ren and Xie Wanjun the middle finger.

"What should we do?" Xie Wanjun asked.

Hao Ren smiled and said, "What do you say?"

They looked at each other and crossed the street.
