Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

Chapter 414 - Mother-in-law's Sarcastic Remarks

When Xiao Zihan heard Loong Chen's words, she wasn't sure why, but something stirred within her heart.

Maybe it was because Loong Yang had been seen as worthless for so long, but this was the first time he had stood up for her, leaving her feeling a bit uneasy.

“Could it be that he's lost his memory and his personality has changed? If that's really the case, it would be wonderful.”

Xiao Zihan pondered this thought.

The two of them continued to stroll around the antique street. Eventually, Loong Chen used his top-tier appraisal skills to discover a valuable item for Xiao Zihan, a letter known as the Stone Creek Records.

Loong Chen purchased it for three thousand dollars at a small stall, but its true value was at least two million because it was created by Su Guo, the third son of Su Shi, during the Song Dynasty.

“I'll give this Stone Creek Records to you. You can personally present it to grandpa at the birthday banquet. This will help improve his impression of you.”

Xiao Zihan spoke in a cold tone, but Loong Chen could sense the concern behind her words.

The coldness in her voice was likely due to Xiao Zihan's nature and wasn't directed at Loong Chen.

After obtaining the Stone Creek Records, they left the antique street and drove the Ferrari back to their home.

After a short drive, the Ferrari came to a stop in front of an impressive-looking villa.

This seemed to be the home of Xiao Zihan and Loong Yang. Driving a Ferrari and living in such a villa indicated that his wife was quite wealthy. Moreover, she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman.

Speaking of which, how did Loong Yang end up with someone as fair, rich, and beautiful as Xiao Zihan? Although he was handsome, he wasn't exactly gigolo material.

This left Loong Chen feeling very perplexed.

“Why are you just standing there? Come inside.”

Xiao Zihan had already entered the villa. Noticing that Loong Chen was still lingering outside, she called out to him.

Then, without waiting to see if Loong Chen heard her, she turned and walked away.

Loong Chen quickly took off his shoes and stepped into the villa. Apart from Xiao Zihan, there were three other people in the living room.

There was a man and two women. The man appeared to be in his forties, likely his father-in-law. One of the women, also in her forties, was probably his mother-in-law.

The other girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her youthful appearance suggested she was still a student.

With a resemblance to Xiao Zihan of about fifty percent, she was likely her younger sister, making her Loong Chen's sister-in-law.

Loong Chen quickly deduced their identities.

“I heard you ran off the moment you woke up. Zihan has been searching for you for a long time.”

“I think it's better if you just leave. I don't want you to drag Zihan down with you.”

The woman sneered at Loong Chen when she saw him.

Although his father-in-law and sister-in-law remained silent, their expressions revealed their displeasure with the former owner of his body, Loong Yang.

“Mom, you should stop saying that. Even though Loong Yang has woken up, he has lost his memory, which is why he wandered off.”

Xiao Zihan defended Loong Chen, something she had never done before. If he knew, Loong Chen would have been surprised.

“He was useless to begin with, and now that he's lost his memory, I think he's even more worthless. Honestly, he might as well be dead.”

Her mother-in-law didn't hold back, coldly speaking even with Loong Chen present.

“Mom.”

Xiao Zihan frowned, feeling it wasn't right for her mother to speak that way in front of Loong Chen.

Moreover, Loong Chen's actions on the antique street had altered her view of him.

Perhaps this man wouldn't be as cowardly as he had been before.
