Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Much to Ye Fan's great-grandmother's surprise, the man's expression gradually turned despondent as

he listened to her.

“What's wrong? Why are you still unhappy? I'm not asking you to go and seek the Jones family out

because I don't have faith in your capabilities. It's just that you'll have someone to help you, increasing

your chances of victory. I can't help you much in this battle. This is all I can do for you. I don't want the

tragedy back then to repeat itself on you. It's best that you go all out to integrate all forces available to

you. Make more friends and fewer enemies. Then, things will go without a hitch.”

Ultimately, she was a person who had been through great trials and tribulations.

Thus, she knew that a battle was definitely not fought alone by rushing into it recklessly.

Instead, there had to be a plan and strategy.

It was best to strengthen oneself and weaken one's opponent, just like her plan earlier.

She proposed that Ye Fan use Thunder Jade to split the forces of the Chu Sect and weaken the Chu

family.

Then, he would be appointed as the legitimate head of the family, giving him a valid reason to battle.

That would place him on the moral high ground.

Subsequently, the final move would nip the problem right in the bud—subjugate the Jones family of the

Three Families of the Chu Sect and awaken the Chu Sect's Sacred Beast.

With the help of the Sacred Beast, she felt that the victory of this battle would basically be secure.

On the contrary, sorrow washed over Ye Fan.

“It's too late, Great-grandma. The Chu family's Sacred Beast has been awakened by Uncle

Zhengliang's son, Chu Tianqi.”

What?

Hearing that, his great-grandmother was utterly shocked.

“That's impossible! Back then, Mr. Yunyang bestowed the power of summoning the Sacred Beast to the

Jones family. A major part of the reason is his worry that some of the descendants of the Chu family

might turn out to be evil, and no one would be able to go against them. Therefore, he granted the

power of summoning the Sacred Beast to the Jones family. When necessary, they could use the

Sacred Beast to keep the descendants of the Chu family in check. Such an ability is the Jones family's

foundation in gaining a foothold as the Three Families of the Chu Sect. How could the head of the

Jones family hand such a crucial ability over to someone from the Chu family? They're simply

destroying their own foundation and future!”

She didn't believe it at all.

Verily, she couldn't believe that the Jones family would be so foolish.

Sigh!

“You might not know this, Great-grandma, but too many things have happened in the past few years.

Uncle Zhengliang and the others had been blinded by power and influence that they had lost all

conscience. In the present generation of the Jones family, only the daughter of the Jones family, Angie,

had the Jade Eyes of the Jones family. Uncle Zhengliang and the others went as far as kidnapping her

and gouging her eyes out before transplanting them into Chu Tianqi...”

Ye Fan told his great-grandmother about everything Chu Zhengliang and his son had done.

Every time he spoke of those matters, grief inundated him.

Whenever he thought of it all, he felt exceedingly guilty.

After all, Angie was kidnapped while on her way to China to look for him.

If she hadn't gone to China to seek me out, such misfortune wouldn't have befallen her.

“Right now, Angie is in a coma. She can't talk or speak, merely sleeping perpetually. Even her father

died at the hands of the Chu Sect a few days ago in a bid to protect his family. If I hadn't arrived in time,

the Jones family would have been wiped out.”

His words were somber.

Meanwhile, his great-grandmother's expression grew all the darker. As he spoke, her entire body shook

with rage. In the end, she slammed her cane onto the ground.

“How despicable! What a bunch of animals! How could such wicked people exist among the Chu

family's descendants? They've let Mr. Yunyang down! They deserve to die for their sins!”

She was so livid that her eyes blazed scarlet. In her towering rage, the ground shook incessantly. It

was as though there was an earthquake. Frightened, the big black dog circled the courtyard non-stop.

“Ye Fan, the Chu family has wronged the Jones family and Angie. With the existence of such evildoers

among the descendants of the Chu family, I wouldn't be able to face the Chu family's ancestors after

my demise!”

As she had gone through the vicissitudes of life, few things in the world could affect her emotions

anymore.

Only someone like Ye Fan, her great-grandson whom she watched growing up, could have an effect on

her emotionally.

However, after learning from the man that the Chu family had actually done such a ruthless thing to the

Jones family, even she couldn't remain calm despite having experienced countless hardships.

While she was in high dudgeon, tears escaped her eyes.

“The ancestors of the Jones family were initially Mr. Yunyang's servants. They were loyal to him all their

lives. At first, they merely kept guard over Blaze. Later, they retired to Mount Chumen and protected

the descendants of the Chu family. Every generation of the Jones family sacrificed much for the Chu

family. Even in the past few hundred years, most of the expenses of the Chu family had been provided

by the Jones family. It's no exaggeration to say that the Jones family had supported the Chu family for

generations. Yet, that bunch of animals wasn't grateful for such kindness. Instead, they repaid kindness

with evil, gouging out Angie's eyes. How could they have done such a thing when she is still so

young?”

Her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes blazed scarlet. She had steam coming out of her ears.

The previous matriarch of the Jones family was Bill's mother. Not only was she a good friend of hers,

but she also saved her life once.

Before she passed away, she even implored Old Madam Chu to take care of the Jones family.

Yet, Old Madam Chu's descendants ended up bringing about their destruction.

That had her feeling inexorably ashamed.

“What a bunch of evildoers! Ye Fan, I order you to capture those two animals. Retrieve the Jade Eyes

they stole and return them to the Jones family. Even if it means destroying it, it can't be allowed to

remain in their hands. Also, Ye Fan, the Chu family is at fault in this matter. We betrayed the Jones

family. As compensation, you have to marry the daughter of the Jones family after this battle ends.

Don't worry, for I'll try my best to treat her at that time. Even if she can't regain her supernatural

physique, she should have no problems living as an ordinary person.”

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan paled and shook his head vigorously.

“That won't work, Great-grandma. How could I marry Angie when I'm already married? That wouldn't

be fair to her, no?”

Alas, his great-grandmother promptly waved a dismissive hand.

“It's okay. The Chu family has never been bound by secular rules. Back then, even Mr. Yunyang had

several wives. It's nothing uncommon for a man of great accomplishment to have a few women by his

side. It's decided, then. At that time, I'll personally plan the wedding for the two of you. The Chu family

owes the Jones family a debt of gratitude. Now that Angie's father is no longer here, and she herself

has been beset by misfortune, it's only right that the Chu family compensate her.”

“But... But...”

Still, Ye Fan couldn't quite accept it.

D*mn it! Why should I be the one to make amends for the wrongs Chu Tianqi committed?

“Why, you don't want to marry her? Does that daughter of the Jones family look unsightly?”

A frown marred his great-grandmother's countenance.

In response, Ye Fan shook his head. “No, Angie is a very beautiful and docile girl.”

“So, why are you objecting? What a brat, acting all righteous when you'll be benefitting from this

arrangement! The daughter of the Tang family married you, and now, the daughter of the Jones family

will also be doing the same. Consequently, two of the Three Families of the Chu Sect will be related to

you in marriage. In the future, your power and status in the Chu Sect will be unparalleled. How nice! Oh

yes, I forgot to ask you—have you bedded Tang Yun? Is she pregnant yet?”

At that, Ye Fan shook his head.

“How incompetent! In this aspect, you're still lagging far behind your father. If it were your father, he

would've already had a son old enough to take care of himself. Make haste and work at getting the

head of the Chu Sect pregnant. After the Chu family has done housecleaning, the most urgent task

would be to beget children,” his great-grandmother urged in a huff.

As the elder of the Chu family, she was very much concerned about the issue of the family line's

continuation.
