Uncomfortable?

Qin Nian'an blinked, her gaze shifting back and forth between Qin Jianjun and Chen Jun.

Chen Jun was covered in sweat, slumped on the sofa, barely able to move, and his face was pale; he had clearly been thoroughly exhausted.

On Qin Jianjun's side, apart from his sour face, not a single hair was out of place. It was clear that Chen Jun had been bullied, so why did her father look so aggrieved?

Seeing her husband's aggrieved expression, Zhao Lin held his large hand, gently patting it to comfort him while covering her mouth with her other hand and chuckling, making everyone else even more confused.

Qin Zheng shook his head and looked up at Chen Jun on the sofa. "Hey kid, do you still have the energy to get up? If you do, go take a shower, change your clothes, and stay for dinner. If not, I'll have someone take you home."

Chen Jun looked embarrassed upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to feign his aches and pains to make Qin Nian'an feel sorry for him, but the old man saw through his little scheme at a glance.

After lying down for a while, he did regain a lot of strength. More importantly, he dared not go home now.

Before leaving, his father, Chen Wenbin, specifically instructed him that he must get along well with the Qin family today. If he didn't even get to eat dinner at the Qin family's house, he would only be able to eat "bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork" when he got back. It would be better to stay and enjoy a good meal.

"Grandpa, I feel much better after lying here for a while. I'm going to take a shower now to get rid of the sweat smell."

Chen Jun sprang to his feet, comforted Qin Nian'an, then bid farewell to everyone and left with the servants.

This left everyone stunned. It seemed that Qin Jianjun's grievances were not without reason, although they did not yet know the specifics of the matter.

Judging from the current situation, there should be three people in the know: Zhao Lin, the person involved, and Qin Zheng.

"Dad, what exactly happened between you and Chen Jun? Why are you so exhausted?"

Qin Jianjun felt even more aggrieved by his daughter's sudden question. He kept a straight face and couldn't utter a single word.

Should I tell my daughter that he made things difficult for her son-in-law all afternoon and didn't win even once?

How embarrassing it would be if word got out! Didn't you see that everyone in the room was staring at him?

And that brat Chen Jun has no sense of propriety at all. He's as stubborn as a mule. Would it kill him to let me off the hook even a little? I'm just trying to embarrass him.

At this moment, Qin Jianjun did not realize that it was the various promises he made that provoked Chen Jun, which was why the other party dared not go easy on him. After all, he was willing to risk his life to be able to freely enter and leave the Qin family and to be intimate with Qin Nian'an.

In addition, the bodyguards didn't dare to really stop them forcefully, because if someone got hurt, it would be difficult to handle the situation. After all, they were all on the same side, so they secretly backed down and let it pass.

As a result, Qin Jianjun failed to win any of his attempts to embarrass himself throughout the afternoon, and he even considered having Lu Zheng, who came from the special forces, take over.

After thinking about it, I realized that it would be too much to let special forces soldiers fight against college students, so I let it go.

But now, Qin Jianjun regrets it. If only he could do it all over again!

He always made Lu Zheng take action, and then he would severely punish Chen Jun!

Qin Zheng was increasingly amused by the thought, and he instructed Lu Cheng'an beside him with a smile, "Prepare to set the table for dinner. Also, prepare a red envelope of 80,000 yuan for Chen Jun to give to him when he goes back."

Lu Cheng'an bowed and agreed, "Okay."

When Qin Jianjun heard about the 80,000 yuan red envelope and thought about how he had lost eight times, he realized that his father also knew about his embarrassing incident.

Doesn't giving away this red envelope just confirm the fact that he's never won a single time?

The thought of this made him feel as if there was a thorn in his heart.

He couldn't hold back any longer and said in a embarrassed, coquettish voice, "Dad!"

"Hey." Qin Zheng smiled even more happily, but seeing his boss's aggrieved look, he still offered some words of comfort.

"No matter how unruly that kid is, if you tell him to go east, does he dare to go west? In the end, won't he still be firmly under your control, allowing you to mold him however you like?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjun also felt that Qin Zheng's words made sense. With his father-in-law's title, he could definitely outmaneuver Chen Jun.

So what if I lose a few times? I can always regain my dignity later.

Thinking this way, his depressed and frustrated mood improved a lot.

Upon hearing this, the others began to speculate.

Qin Mao and Qin Huirong, in particular, knew that their elder brother had been mistreated when he married his sister-in-law, and they immediately guessed what had happened.

Didn't you see Zhao Lin smiling the whole time? Qin Jianjun must have gotten humiliated by Chen Jun.

Men shower quickly; a quick scrub and rinse, and they're done.

Chen Jun returned to the hall in less than fifteen minutes.

During the subsequent meal, Zhao Lin kept saying things like, "You must be exhausted today." "You've used up so much energy, you need to eat more." "This will help your muscles recover."

Smiling, she carefully placed the food into his bowl with her chopsticks, quickly piling up a small mountain of food.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Chen Jun accepted everything offered, demonstrating to everyone what a big appetite he was.

Actually, he had used up a lot of energy today, so he ate a lot more.

Looking at the steamed golden carp in front of him, covered with fine lines and various seasonings sprinkled on top, Qin Jianjun felt a great sense of relief.

He picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and found it tasted good.

It all started with this golden koi fish. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and sped up his chopsticks, as if he had some deep-seated grudge against the fish.

Fish: There's no need to be so vehemently opposed to evil; I don't even remember what happened...

After finishing the meal, Chen Jun stayed for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

"Nian'an, I'll come to the banquet the day after tomorrow." After Chen Jun finished speaking, Qin Jianjun saw him off to the luxury car at the gate.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qin Nian'an smiled and waved goodbye.

Upon arriving at the manor's main gate, the deputy steward presented a thick red envelope.

"Mr. Chen, this is what our master instructed me to give you."

"Please thank the old man for me." Chen Jun quickly accepted the gift with a smile, then weighed it in his hand; it was a bit heavy.

He asked curiously, "How much money is in here?"

"Eighty thousand," the deputy chief steward replied.

"Oh!" Eighty thousand!

Chen Jun immediately thought of how he had beaten his future father-in-law eight times. It seemed that Qin Zheng had noticed his question, "Uncle, if I win, can I have ten thousand yuan?"

Does this mean that Qin Zheng is very satisfied with him?

Thinking about this, he became happier and happier as he drove home.

When he got home and opened the door, he saw his father, Chen Wenbin, sitting on the sofa waiting for him. His smile froze for a moment.

However, thinking about how perfectly he had completed the task, he straightened his back, walked proudly to the sofa, and sat down.

"Judging from your barely concealed joy, it seems the Qin family is quite satisfied with you?" Chen Wenbin clicked his tongue twice.

His son is not bad.

Wang Xiuyun glanced at Chen Jun's bright clothes and knew what was going on. "Jun'er is smiling so happily, it must be something good. By the way, what's that in your hand?"

"Yes, Grandpa Qin gave me a red envelope."

As Chen Jun spoke, he opened the red envelope, revealing a thick stack of RMB.

He looked at Chen Wenbin, raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "Isn't your son amazing? Praise me!"

Chen Wenbin's smile faded, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did this money come from? And why did Qin Zheng give you this money?"

He's lived this long and has never heard of a son-in-law receiving a red envelope from the bride's family. Usually, it's the groom's parents who give the bride a red envelope as a token of their affection.

He couldn't help but worry, fearing that the meaning of this red envelope wasn't as festive as it seemed on the surface, and that it might be some kind of "discouragement gift," which would be troublesome.

Seeing this, Chen Jun quickly smiled and recounted in detail how Qin Jianjun had made things difficult for him that afternoon, how the two had competed all afternoon and how he had won eight times, as well as how Old Master Qin had given him a red envelope. He even remembered his joke about asking for 10,000 yuan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenbin finally felt relieved.

He could tell that Qin Zheng gave the red envelope to express his satisfaction with Chen Jun.

However, thinking of Qin Jianjun's possible fury, he looked at his son, who was still grinning foolishly, and shook his head slightly.

This stubbornness has embarrassed his father-in-law, making it difficult for him to marry someone else's daughter in the future.

Well, sons have their own fortunes. As long as Chen Jun maintains a good relationship with the Qin family, let sons bear the rest of the hardships themselves.

After thinking it through, Chen Wenbin got up and went into his study. "Get some rest early tonight."

After Chen Wenbin left, Wang Xiuyun pulled Chen Jun aside to ask for more details.

"Is Nian'an's mother good to you? What about the rest of the Qin family? Is the Qin family manor big?"

Chen Jun answered each question, but he didn't expect that his mother's question would last for a full three hours.

Meanwhile, Qin Ziyang's grand internet celebrity plan has officially taken its first step.
