The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2477 The Lan Family? Their upbringing is truly appalling!

Brother-in-law?

Lin Chen turned his head in surprise and looked at the three people who had barged into the courtyard uninvited.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an arrogant face and a flippant gaze. Behind him were a man and a woman, both in their twenties, who looked somewhat like him and were probably his children.

Yao Xiong frowned almost imperceptibly, stood up and smiled, "Xincheng, you're back?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Chen and the others, and replied casually, "Just got back. I heard we had guests, and my sister came to greet us personally, so I came to see who these distinguished guests are."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. His future mother-in-law's younger brother?
Judging from that tone, it sounds a bit sarcastic and mocking?

A flicker of anger flashed in Yao Xiong's eyes, but he still suppressed his temper and replied, "It's my daughter and her family who have come... This is your Aunt Lan's brother, and these two behind him are her children, Lan Zhengwu and Lan Yiwen..."

Although it was clear that Lan Xincheng was quite arrogant, constantly referring to Yao Xiong as his sister, and that he didn't really approve of Yao Xiong as his brother-in-law, and that he probably saw them as poor relatives who were just there to freeload, Lin Chen and the others still greeted him as Lan Xinyu's brother, calling him Uncle Lan.

Lan Xincheng's gaze swept over the group of women, his eyes wide with surprise: "Brother-in-law, which one of you is Xuan Ji?"

Yao Xuanji replied, "Uncle Lan, it's me."

Lan Xincheng looked you over and smiled, "When your dad told me you went missing, you were just a little girl. Now you're a grown woman, and you're really beautiful."

Lan Xincheng praised him, his gaze falling on Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, right? He's so lucky to have such a beautiful and powerful Daoist partner as Xuan Ji."

Upon hearing Lan Xincheng's words, Yao Xiong's expression tightened, and Yao Xuanji's gaze also changed slightly. She seemed about to say something, but Lin Chen spoke first: "When I met Xuanji, she was a Golden Immortal, and I was only at the Nascent Soul stage. To me, she was like the moon in the heavens, high above and unattainable. It is naturally my blessing to be able to become her Daoist partner."

Lan Xincheng laughed and said, "I see that you are quite strong now. It seems that my brother-in-law has helped you a lot."

Lan Xincheng's previous sentence mentioned both Lin Chen and Yao Xiong, implying that both of their partners were beautiful and powerful, and that they were living off their wives.

His second sentence was even more direct, implying that Lin Chen only got where he was today because of the woman's family's help. This meant that without the woman's family's help, Lin Chen would be nothing today. This sentence also had the suspicion of being a veiled insult.

Lan Zhengwu and Lan Yiwen, standing behind Lanxin City, looked arrogant. Lan Yiwen looked at Chu Jiaxue with disdain, while Lan Zhengwu's eyes shone as he looked at her.

Lan Xincheng naturally noticed Chu Jiaxue and Mi Xiaowan as well, and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, where are these ladies?" Lin Chen readily introduced them, "This is my wife, Chu Jiaxue, and these two are my friends..."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the expressions of Lan Xincheng and the other two changed simultaneously.

Lan Xincheng's eyes widened. "Your wife? What about Xuanji?"

Lin Chen replied, "Xuanji is also my wife. Aunt Lan has met her. What, didn't Aunt Lan tell you?"

Lin Chen brought up Lan Xinyu, implying that since Lan Xinyu hadn't said anything, Lin Chen should shut up, since he was just someone who relied on his sister for a living.

Lan Xincheng turned his head in shock: "Brother-in-law, you knew?"

Yao Xiong nodded: "It's the children's own business; they decide for themselves."

Lan Xincheng's eyes widened: "Brother-in-law, this is not right. You are with my sister, and Xuanji is nominally my sister's daughter. Even if she doesn't call her 'Mom,' she should still call her 'Auntie.' What is my sister's status? If word gets out that Xuanji is sharing a husband with another woman, you may not care, but what about my sister's reputation?"

Upon hearing Lan Xincheng's words, everyone's expression changed instantly.

Yao Xiong said coldly, "Xuanji is my daughter. It's her freedom to like whomever she wants. It's none of your business, so you don't need to worry about it. If you have this kind of concern, you might as well pay more attention to your own family."

As Yao Xiong spoke, he glanced at the two people standing behind Lan Xincheng. The two men immediately looked as if they had been bitten by a snake, and their expressions changed drastically.

Before Lan Xincheng could speak, Lan Zhengwu replied sarcastically, "Uncle Yao, you're implying something. Are you referring to us siblings? This is a matter for the Lan family, and it has nothing to do with you. Although you're with my aunt, it doesn't mean you're a member of the Lan family and have the right to point fingers at us..."

Yao Xiong's face suddenly turned quite ugly. He wanted to reprimand the other party, but seeing the other party's fearless attitude, he felt a wave of exhaustion.

If the other party is of the same generation, I can just throw caution to the wind and fight back. Winning or losing doesn't matter. I just won't put up with this humiliation. But the other party is a junior. If the junior is shameless, can I be just as shameless and start arguing with them?

"The Lan family?"

Lin Chen sneered and stepped forward: "I don't know how powerful the Lan family is, but I'm sure their upbringing is terrible. How dare a junior like you interrupt when your elders are speaking? You have no respect for your elders. Didn't Uncle Lan teach you manners?"
