55: Chapter 55 The three-year period has ended, and the Shen family respectfully invites their young master to return.
"The three-year term has arrived. This old servant respectfully welcomes the Young Master back to the Shen Family in the capital!"
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out, giving everyone a huge fright.
Head of the Zhou Family and a few others rushed out to take a look, only to see several people standing at the entrance.
Leading them was an old man with white hair and a potbelly, wearing a rather amiable expression.
Behind him followed four bodyguards in black, their eyes fierce; one could tell at a glance they were not to be trifled with.
"Could this be the legendary plot of the returning son-in-law?"
"Normally, Shen Wen should rise up immediately, possessed by the aura of a king, and start his mode of acting cool and slapping faces."
Chu Yuan smiled faintly, not caring in the slightest.
With himself, the great villain, here, if he let Shen Wen succeed in acting cool, wouldn't that be too much of a failure?
You want to act cool and slap faces? It's already merciful enough that I don't slap your face.
"What is this about the Young Master of the Shen Family from the capital?"
"Could a young master from a powerful family in the capital actually be in my humble Zhou Family?"
Head of the Zhou Family and the others looked at each other, stunned, having no idea what was happening.
Could his small Zhou Family actually be harboring hidden talents?
"This old servant, Steward Mo, pays respects to the Young Master."
"This old servant acts on the orders of the Family Head to respectfully invite the Young Master to return to the Shen Family."
Seeing Shen Wen come out, Steward Mo knelt directly on the ground.
The four bodyguards behind him moved in perfect unison, all kneeling simultaneously.
"What on earth is going on?"
Head of the Zhou Family was completely stunned by this sudden scene.
His small Zhou Family had no Young Master of the Shen Family from the capital; who exactly were these people kneeling to?
Head of the Zhou Family was about to step forward to confirm, when an unexpected person from behind walked up with a swaggering gait.
Who else could it be but the son-in-law their Zhou Family despised the most?
"Shen Wen, you piece of trash, what are you coming out for?"
"Do you think just because your surname is Shen, you've become the Young Master of the Shen Family?"
"You embarrassing thing, get back here immediately! If you offend these big shots, I will skin you alive."
Seeing Shen Wen rush forward and attempt to impersonate the Young Master of the Shen Family, Miao Yue was furious.
It was one thing that he wasted food in the Zhou Family every day, but now he dared to come out.
If he accidentally offended those big shots, the Zhou Family would be in serious trouble.
Zhou Cong also sneered: "Has this trash lost his mind? If you want to show off, at least look at the situation. These people are from the Shen Family in the capital. You, a trashy son-in-law, still want to climb the social ladder? You are simply a disgrace to our Zhou Family."
Ignoring the insults and obstruction from the Zhou Family members, Shen Wen kept a faint smile on his face, walked step by step to Steward Mo, and helped him up.
"Steward Mo, thank you for making this trip."
"It is no trouble at all, no trouble at all. Being able to come and bring the Young Master back is this old servant's honor."
Steward Mo revealed his signature smile; looking at him, one might think it was Maitreya Buddha descended to earth.
Everyone was completely stunned, staring at each other in disbelief.
Could it be that the trashy son-in-law of their Zhou Family was actually the Young Master of the Shen Family from the capital?
Once this thought arose, the members of the Zhou Family all gasped in shock.
Miao Yue, in particular, was already deathly pale with fear, shivering.
Over these past three years, she had bullied Shen Wen plenty of times, punching and kicking him, and even forcing him to drink her foot-washing water.
If Shen Wen really was the Young Master of the Shen Family from the capital, in his thunderous rage, it was feared that the entire Zhou Family would not survive.
"Young Master, what is the meaning of the injuries on your body? Did these people abuse you?"
Seeing the dried bloodstains on Shen Wen's body, Steward Mo was completely enraged.
The dignified Young Master of the Shen Family, who had lived a life of luxury, had never been bullied.
Unexpectedly, the small Zhou Family actually dared to abuse his Young Master, and even beat him until he bled.
This was simply slapping the face of the Shen Family, and even more so, an insult to the entire Shen Family.
If he could not take revenge for the Young Master, he would have no face to return and see the Family Head.
"These people are bold and reckless to dare lay a hand on the Young Master. Should I bury them all alive, or mince them into meat paste? Please instruct me, Young Master."
Although Steward Mo's words were calm, the content was chilling.
Bury them all alive, mince them into meat paste!
These eight words had already scared the Zhou Family members to the point of shivering and turning pale.
Even the Head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Qing, was constantly wiping the bead-sized sweat from his forehead.
Miao Yue, even more so, completely lost her composure and grabbed the corner of Shen Wen's clothes to beg for mercy.
"Good son-in-law, this... this is all a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."
"You are the husband of our Xiao Die, the son-in-law of our Zhou Family. Don't worry, from now on, I will definitely treat you as the master of our Zhou Family, serving you respectfully. In our Zhou Family, you will be a person above others."
"Please, for Xiao Die's sake, be the bigger person and don't hold a grudge against us ignorant fools."
Zhou Cong, the fence-sitter, upon learning of Shen Wen's identity, also knelt directly at Shen Wen's feet and began begging for mercy.
