“Wife, you’re here?”

A young man with an ordinary appearance approached and spoke to Yang Jingwan. Hearing the term of endearment from the man’s mouth, Yang Jingwan frowned, her face showing signs of helplessness and resistance. She had no feelings for this man who called her his wife.

Although they had been married for nearly a year, Yang Jingwan had always slept separately from him and hadn’t even held hands.

Therefore, when she saw him greeting her, Yang Jingwan remained silent and did not respond.

Li Manli, however, couldn’t hold back and said harshly, “Su Lang, why did you, this useless person, follow us here? Do you think you belong at such a high-class banquet? Get lost!”

“I’m not here with you; someone invited me,” Su Lang replied.

“You’re such a bad liar. You’re just a househusband who can only cook. Who would invite you here? It’s laughable,” Li Manli sneered.

“Su Lang, go back,” Yang Tai also felt embarrassed by his son-in-law and wanted to drive him away.

“Su Lang, just go back,” Yang Jingwan couldn’t help but say.

“If I leave, this banquet won’t happen,” Su Lang said, looking up at a 45-degree angle, trying to appear impressive.

Yang Tai, Li Manli, and Yang Jingwan all thought he must be out of his mind to say something like that.

However, Wang Haoran believed him.

Yang Jingwan’s family setup was exactly like the typical son-in-law trope. Su Lang must be the protagonist.

But there are many types of protagonists in the son-in-law genre.

Some start by drinking their wife’s foot wash and then slowly rise through fortuitous encounters.

Others are the sole heirs of a large consortium, forced by some family rule to train for three years, and by chance become a son-in-law, then start showing off after the three-year period ends.

Then there are those who return as a God of War, willing to become a live-in son-in-law for a meal or a piece of candy from the past.

These son-in-law protagonists vary in strength.

Those who start by drinking foot wash are weak initially, even if they have fortuitous encounters, and are the easiest to deal with.

Next are the consortium heirs, who have immense wealth and connections. They are not much of a problem because they usually lack combat skills.

The most troublesome are the God of War protagonists, who have very high combat power.

Su Lang was right in front of him, and it was easy to find out which type he was.

Wang Haoran secretly communicated with the system, instructing it to use 100 villain points to inquire.

However, the system refused and indicated that it would cost 200 villain points!

Damn, why did the price go up…

Could it be because this protagonist is particularly tricky?

Wang Haoran had plenty of villain points, so he didn’t mind spending 200.

Protagonist: Su Lang

Combat Power: 1000

Charm: 125

Protagonist Aura: 999

Skills: Wrath of the God of War (increases combat power by 20% when angry), Might of the God of War (can temporarily increase charm by 300% when activated), Invincible God of War (passive skill, can enter an invincible state for 1 hour upon receiving a fatal blow, and activate a one-hit kill mode, cooldown time 12 hours)

A combat power of 1000 was 99 points lower than Wang Haoran’s.

The protagonist aura of 999 was several hundred points lower than Wang Haoran’s.

These were acceptable to Wang Haoran.

Wrath of the God of War and Might of the God of War were not worth mentioning, but the Invincible God of War skill was a bit excessive.

To enter an invincible state for 1 hour upon receiving a fatal blow and activate a one-hit kill mode?

How do you even play against that?

This God of War-type protagonist was too unfair!

No wonder it cost 200 villain points to inquire about him.

Expensive things do have their reasons.

Fortunately, his Invincible God of War skill was a passive one, and the cooldown time was quite long.

With careful planning, there was still a good chance to deal with him.

“If you leave, the banquet won’t happen. I think you’re just dizzy from cooking every day!” Li Manli couldn’t stand Su Lang’s boasting and immediately criticized him.

“Don’t believe me?” Su Lang asked.

“I believe you’re a big fool!” Li Manli sneered.

“Heh.” Su Lang clasped his hands behind his back and smiled calmly.

“You useless…”

“Mom, let’s stop. There are many people here; don’t make a scene and let others laugh at us.”

Seeing some people looking their way, Yang Jingwan quickly stopped Li Manli.

“We’ll deal with him at home,” Li Manli didn’t continue arguing but gave Su Lang a cold, hard stare.

Soon, the family walked away.

Li Manli had a purpose for coming here and wouldn’t just stand around foolishly.

“Mom, who organized this banquet?” Seeing Yang Jingwan’s family leave, Wang Haoran immediately asked Zhen Li.

“Ma Hongsheng, the richest man in Qingling and the president of the Qingling Chamber of Commerce. If you see him later, be polite. Our family can’t afford to offend him,” Zhen Li advised seriously, changing her arrogant tone.

Wang Haoran nodded and began to think.

From Su Lang’s words earlier, it seemed likely that Ma Hongsheng organized this banquet for Su Lang.

Otherwise, Su Lang wouldn’t have said that the banquet couldn’t proceed without him.

If Ma Hongsheng appeared and treated Su Lang with respect, it would surely shock Yang Jingwan’s family.

Su Lang would not only get to show off but also gain the favor of Yang Jingwan’s family.

This must be stopped!

“Mom, where is Ma Hongsheng?” Wang Haoran immediately asked Zhen Li.

“He probably hasn’t arrived yet. If he had, he’d be surrounded by people,” Zhen Li replied, scanning the hall.

“Mom, I think I left my phone in your car. I’ll go get it,” Wang Haoran found an excuse to leave.

“Oh, here you go,” Zhen Li handed over the Ferrari keys.

Wang Haoran took the keys and headed to the parking area outside the villa.

He opened the car door, got into the Ferrari, and observed the vehicles coming to the villa while searching online for information about Ma Hongsheng.

About eight minutes later, five cars drove in a line towards the villa.

Among the five cars, four were Mercedes Maybachs, and one was a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The four Maybachs were positioned two in front and two behind, with the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the middle.

Wang Haoran immediately used his X-ray vision and saw that the four Maybachs were occupied by burly men in suits, who looked like bodyguards.

Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom sat a short, unremarkable middle-aged man.

Recognizing the man, Wang Haoran immediately knew it was Ma Hongsheng.

No wonder he was the richest man in Qingling; he traveled with nearly twenty bodyguards, and even the cars for the bodyguards were Maybachs.

Truly wealthy.
