Zu An watched this unfold and felt that his cheap father-in-law was at risk of being cuckolded. However, thinking about how Ji Dengtu was so lewdly looking for a woman's undergarment, he figured he was probably just a coward with the desire but no guts, so he dismissed the idea.
Since he was in good health, the couple naturally wouldn't stop him from going to school, but they still arranged for the guards to stay with him closely.
Unlike those brainless characters in movies who insist on getting rid of their bodyguards and end up in all sorts of dangers, Zu An is now hoping that the Chu family will send more guards to protect him. Who knows where Xue'er and Mei Chaofeng will come from to kill him?
Unlike him, who looked around warily, Chu Huanzhao looked relaxed and cheerful—given her personality, it seemed rare for her to feel sad or upset.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, tell me quickly how you won so much money at the Silver Hook Casino that day! My mother dragged me away before I could finish asking." Chu Huanzhao's eyes were full of curiosity.
Zu An was speechless: "Isn't your Chu family against gambling? Why are you pestering me with these questions? Aren't you afraid your mother will make you pay for the family punishment?"
"I'm just asking, it's not like I'm going to gamble myself, my mom won't care," Chu said, tugging at his arm and shaking it. "Brother-in-law, tell me, brother-in-law~"
Zu An's heart skipped a beat as he felt the soft touch of the girl's body against his arm. How could this little girl be so clueless about the boundaries between men and women? No, he had to find a chance to teach her a lesson another day, lest she get the better of some other brat.
That night's events were his proudest achievement, and it would be like wearing fine clothes in the dark if he didn't show them off. Zu An took the opportunity to pretend that he was being pestered and had no choice but to reluctantly recount the events in the style of "God of Gamblers".
Judging from Ji Dengtu's reaction when he saw that booklet, it's clear that although the people of this world are powerful, they are really lacking in cultural and entertainment aspects. They haven't experienced the influence of so many movies and TV dramas from their previous life.
They were quickly captivated by the dramatic and exaggerated plot, and even the Chu family guards next to them would occasionally glance at him, thinking that although this son-in-law was not very capable, he was really good with words. Even if he was kicked out of the Chu family in the future and had to run to the underpass to tell stories, he would not starve.
Chu Huanzhao listened with repeated exclamations of amazement, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It's a pity I didn't get to see something so interesting with my own eyes. Brother-in-law, next time something like this happens, you must take me with you, okay?"
Zuan nodded: "Okay, okay~" This little miss is not someone to be trifled with. Although she was a bit fierce to him at first, she is quite nice to him now.
Chu Huanzhao, however, was still uneasy: "Then let's pinky swear, it's a deal!" He then extended his finger.
Looking at the slender, delicate fingers in front of him, Zu An thought to himself that this girl was truly a beauty in the making, but it was a pity that she dressed like a tomboy all day long, which was a real waste of her talent.
“Okay.” Zuan reached out and took her hand, somewhat helplessly.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to be broken." Chu Huanzhao's eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
The Chu family guards standing nearby stared wide-eyed, wondering what charm this good-for-nothing son-in-law possessed. First, he was chosen as the eldest young lady's husband, and now even the second young lady seemed to have a close relationship with him.
Should we find an opportunity to ask him for advice? Although the young ladies are out of the question, there are still quite a few pretty maids in the manor.
Only Cheng Shouping, who was following behind, was somewhat listless, lamenting in his heart: Xue'er, my beautiful Xue'er, how could you be a spy? My sorrow has flowed like a river, and I'm afraid I will never love again in this life.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the side:
"Make way! Make way! The horse is startled!"
The group looked back and saw a carriage speeding recklessly down the street. The coachman tried his best to stop the horses, but the two horses in front seemed to have gone mad and were completely out of control.
"Miss and son-in-law, be careful!" Several Chu family guards hurriedly shielded the two of them, and Cheng Shouping quickly shrank behind them.
Just as the carriage was about to crash into them, one of the guards leaped out and grabbed the reins from the side. The muscles in his hands bulged instantly, and he forcefully brought the two frightened horses to a stop.
Applause gradually rose from the surroundings, clearly impressed by his heroic deeds.
"Ouch~"
Just then, a delicate cry rang out, and a beautiful figure fell off the carriage. Clearly, due to the inertia caused by the sudden stop, the person inside lost their balance.
The whole process happened too fast; before the Chu family guards could react, the figure crashed into Zu An.
Zu An was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hugged the other person. A huge force came, and he couldn't help but take several steps back. Fortunately, Chu Huanzhao was desperately supporting him from behind, so he didn't fall to the ground.
"Thank you so much for saving me, young master." A timid voice came from behind, its words as clear and melodious as pearls, soft and clear, extremely pleasant to hear.
Zuan looked down and saw a beautiful young girl in his arms. Her cheeks were flushed, her skin was fair and smooth, and her eyes were bright and sparkling.
She wore a light blue long dress embroidered with water and cloud patterns. It was clear that every stitch was made of extremely precious silk thread, making it obvious at first glance that she must come from a very wealthy and noble family.
Despite this, the girl was not tainted by vulgarity in the slightest. She possessed an elegant and classical charm that made her instantly endearing.
Cheng Shouping, who was standing to the side, also saw her face clearly at this moment, and he was immediately struck dumb: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die! How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world? I can't take it anymore, I've fallen in love with her."
