Chapter 12: Chapter 12: So it's the Brother-in-Law!
Su Mo'en said irritably, "My brother Su Ziqin!"
She indeed had many admirers, but few were as impulsive as this, yet based on the move Qin Chuan had displayed last night, anyone who dared make a move would surely suffer a great loss.
"Cough cough..."
Qin Chuan smiled politely, "So it's my brother-in-law, huh!"
"But he doesn't seem very friendly toward me, how about you handle it?"
"After all, I don't know my own strength!"
It was clear that Su Ziqin had good physical qualities, and his stance with the sword was also very standard, yet his skill was too weak!
However, that murderous look in his eyes was really something!
Su Mo'en, uninterested in engaging, simply opened the car door and got out, grumbling, "What are you going crazy about?"
Su Ziqin had practiced martial arts since childhood. Although only twenty years old, he had already become a rare young master in the Hai City Martial Arts World.
He had even won the first place in Hai City's Martial Arts Championship, but she clearly knew that this level was no match for Qin Chuan.
If Qin Chuan really got angered, who knew if her unfortunate brother would end up getting beaten every day?
After all, that guy in the car was pretty ruthless.
"Su Mo'en, get out of the way!"
Su Ziqin arrogantly brandished his sword and shouted, "Let that pretty boy in your car come down and have a proper fight with me!"
The bodyguards at the door of the Su Family only dared to watch from a distance, not nearing, since one was the Eldest Lady Su and the other was a young lord of the Su Family.
What baffled them the most was that Su Ziqin, who was usually suppressed by family ties, seemed to have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard today, daring to show off before Su Mo'en.
It seemed the grudge formed was indeed not small!
Su Mo'en spoke with much more force, "Put the sword away, this is not a place for you to brandish weapons!"
Su Ziqin roared in anger, "Don't give me that, you secretly got married behind my back, not giving a damn about your brother, I always said I would protect you, yet you bowed down to family demands early, where did you put my dignity?"
Since he was little, he had only one dream, to protect those he wanted to protect and become a real man.
But Su Mo'en suddenly accepting the family's arrangement and secretly registering a marriage with a stranger was like a slap to his face, destroying his dream.
Most importantly, he had always thought Li Junye would be his future brother-in-law, with whom he had a very good relationship, always affectionately calling him brother, but suddenly the brother-in-law changed, and he simply couldn't adjust.
Moreover, after failing to be selected for the peripheral members of the Dragon Group, he felt gloomy and, hearing the news from home, he rushed back from a different place overnight, waiting several hours at the gate without even entering the house, all because of the anger in his heart.
"You've been given enough face!"
Su Mo'en's expression turned much colder, she stepped forward in her high heels, walked up to Su Ziqin, and commandingly stretched out her hand, "Give me the sword!"
Her grandmother had indeed pressured her, but she had willingly agreed, and there was a lot she couldn't explain to Su Ziqin, he didn't even know about Su Nianci's existence.
"Not a chance!" Fear flickered in Su Ziqin's eyes, the pressure of blood ties ingrained in his bones making him dare not defy his sister, he could only quickly step aside, hastily open the car door, point his sword at Qin Chuan, and bellow with bloodshot eyes, "Kid, if you're a man don't hide in a woman's car, don't lose our men's face!"
Su Mo'en felt helpless and knew her brother was extremely upset.
As a rebellious young man who despised all of his family's arrangements, how else could she, a mere woman, be left to manage the vast Su Family?
By now, there was no stopping him!
She could only hope that Qin Chuan would consider their day of marriage and not take it to heart with Su Ziqin!
"Cough cough..."
Qin Chuan raised his hands over his head, feigning fear, and laughed, "Brother-in-law, leave some room, for we may meet again someday, what if you need my help?"
Although divorcing Su Mo'en was inevitable, he would not mistreat the Su Family members, let alone despise the arranged marriage like Su Ziqin did, so they were like-minded.
"I'm begging you?"
Su Ziqin's body trembled, bursting into laughter, "Qin Chuan, you listen to me, I, a stalwart man, even if I end up homeless in the streets, I won't deign to give you a second look!"
"Get out of here, or else it's a white blade going in and a red blade coming out!"
He really wasn't a snob, so what if Qin Chuan was a multimillionaire?
If my sister's husband weren't Li Junye, he'd have to be a man even better than Li Junye, and most importantly, he must treat my sister well.
So this penniless Qin Chuan, what's he really worth?
"Wifey, help!"
"I'm so scared, your brother is threatening me!"
Qin Chuan, swift in his movements, leapt from the passenger seat to the ground from the driver's side in a single motion, quickly running behind Su Mo'en, his expression exaggerated as he whispered, "You have to protect me, otherwise we really must divorce!"
His ridiculous demeanor made a group of onlooking bodyguards burst into laughter.
This was the new son-in-law of the Su Family, not so impressive after all!
Su Mo'en knew this was Qin Chuan keeping his cool for her sake, but this kind of behavior was really despicable.
"Qin Chuan!"
Su Ziqin felt played, his anger soaring, "Are you even a man?"
"You really think that woman can protect you?"
Little did he know, it wasn't Su Mo'en protecting Qin Chuan, but Su Mo'en's status that protected him!
If an ordinary person dared to breathe so hard in front of Qin Chuan, he would have been slapped away long ago.
"Nonsense!"
Su Mo'en strode forward, slapping her brother on the head, then shouted, "Put the knife away!"
People need to know their place, if Qin Chuan gave face, naturally, she had to cover for him.
If she let her brother keep up his antics, nobody could guarantee to what extent he would be beaten.
"Sis, you hit me?"
Su Ziqin, who had just been acting all tough, now showed a face full of grievance under his sister's stern power, "I did it for your sake!"
"If you are really my sister Su Mo'en, don't protect that pretty boy. Let me avenge you first, and whatever Granny wants to do—kill or slash—I'll take it all on myself, and ensure it has nothing to do with you!"
Qin Chuan didn't consider himself the protagonist in this situation, instead joining the bodyguards not far away as an onlooker.
Apparently, his brother-in-law was a decent guy, really caring for his sister.
"This is my business, you don't need to interfere!"
Su Mo'en forcibly took the Tang Sword from her brother's hands and threw it behind a garden, then commanded, "Get in the car!"
She didn't want it to be this way, but she had no choice.
After all, her brother was too stubborn, and she couldn't give a reasonable explanation for this affair, so she had to make an executive decision, believing her brother would understand her dilemma when the truth came out.
"Alright then!"
Qin Chuan got into the car without any dignity, "Little brother-in-law, let's have a good drink sometime, but you're treating. After all, your brother-in-law here is as clean as a whistle!"
Su Mo'en stepped on the gas, encountering all kinds of odd characters.
Her brother's stubbornness needed to be indulged, but the man by her side was really unbearable.
