pare according to the government’s requirements for now. Whether we can succeed in this matter is related to whether Kyado-ryu can solidify its position within the Japanese martial arts world, I hope...Chapter 551 Pouring Oil on the Flames

Honestly, from Ning Yuan's innermost thoughts, he absolutely did not want to eat with Su Yuan. During middle school, he was an idle gang member who smoked, drank alcohol, and fought all day long, harassing female classmates in between, always ranking last in academic performance. Naturally, there would be no interaction between Ning Yuan and him.

Furthermore, it's unknown if this can be considered a peculiar phenomenon: many students who don't perform well academically often look down upon their high-achieving peers. During leisure time, they would always gaze at the diligent students with disdainful remarks like, "Look at them; all they know how to do is bury themselves in books."

However, when one is under someone else's roof, they must bow their head. For Tien Jing and for his own marriage life, Ning Yuan had no choice but to swallow his pride. After all, it was a joint effort living life; why worry about so much

Su Yuan's restaurant really wasn't small, with both hardware and software meeting three-star standards. Many government receptions were held here, making Su Yuan one of Pizhou's local celebrity entrepreneurs, flourishing in his field.

Upon entering the largest private room in the restaurant, Mother-in-law Wang Cuifen immediately smiled widely: "Tsk tsk tsk, Su Yuan is truly impressive. Look at this room; it's so upscale. Once you're here, even eating becomes more appetizing."

Su Yuan casually glanced at Ning Yuan who was silently sitting there and then said with a smile, "Mom, if you like it, just come every day to eat here. I'll have my chef serve you personally every meal, hehe."

The old lady laughed even more happily, her wrinkled face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Mom, look how filial Su Yuan is." At this moment, her usually snobbish second sister Tian Yan also started to speak up. This woman isn't bad-looking, but she uses too much powder on her face and has small breasts; if it weren't for the support from the underwire, she would be completely flat. No wonder Su Yuan wanted to hook up with his cousin.

Women must have something to keep their men around. Either you're virtuous, capable at managing a household, make lots of money, or have big breasts... If none of these apply to you and yet you still complain about your man not treating you well enough while being lazy and gluttonous, then what can you do

There's no such thing as love without reason in this world, nor is there any hatred without cause.

"When looking for a husband, one should choose someone like Su Yuan who has the ability to earn money." Tian Yan hooked her arm around Su Yuan's, with happiness overflowing on her face. She glanced at Ning Yuan seemingly不經意地看了寧遠一眼，這個連裝修房子都要借錢的男人，真是比自己的老公差得太遠太遠。 "That man who even needs to borrow money for house renovation is so far beneath my husband.

However, if Tian Yan knew that her own husband had spent the entire night battling it out with his cousin last night, she wouldn't have been in such a good mood anymore.

"Yes, Xiao Su really is quite good," Tian Jing's dad also spoke up. "He bought so many clothes for Tian Yan's mother and was busy helping during the renovation recently; it wasn't easy at all. These days, there aren't many young people like Xiao Su."

"That's right, Dad, Mom, look at my hands—these pieces of jewelry were all given to me by Su Yuan; he treats his wife so well," Tian Yan showed her hands with four gold rings on each hand and two gold bangles. The glint from the jewelry was blinding.

Tian Jing felt extremely uncomfortable towards her second sister and gave a cold snort, squeezing Ning Yuan's hand under the table without saying anything.

Su Yuan chuckled and, adding fuel to the flames, said: "Dad, I also reserved a set of jewelry for Mom. After we finish eating, let's go pick it up."

Wang Cuifeng's smile grew even wider: "Oh my, I'm already at this age. Why would I still need to buy such things Su Yuan is truly filial."

"You're my mom; who else should I be filial towards" Su Yuan was also quite smooth-talking, making Wang Cuifeng feel as sweet inside as if she had eaten honey. In this regard, Ning Yuan clearly fell short, being someone who kept his emotions bottled up and rarely expressed them.

Su Yuan looked at Ning Yuan with a smug expression, feeling even more superior when he saw him sitting silently by the side. At present, ridiculing this former top student was Su Yuan's greatest pleasure; it felt like singing songs of joy after being freed from oppression.

Su Yuan boasted: "Dad, Mom, you two are getting old and find it inconvenient going up and down the stairs every day. Yan Tian and I bought a set of apartment units for you guys in a new neighborhood development on the ground floor so you won't need to climb stairs anymore."

Ning Yuan felt rather uncomfortable but couldn't show it as he himself didn't earn much money, leaving him somewhat lacking in confidence.

"That's true. When marrying off daughters, one should marry them to capable and responsible men. Although Su Yuan isn’t tall, he’s genuinely good at making money!" Wang Cuifeng found the pot-bellied Su Yuan more and more likable while finding handsome Ning Yuan increasingly unappealing: "It’s truly great that he even thinks of buying a house for his mother-in-law's family. Nowadays, how many son-in-laws have such filial sentiments"

As Wang Cuifeng spoke, she cast an aside glance at the silent Ning Yuan, feeling extremely displeased in her heart.

"Mom, I have a proposal," said Su Yuan with a smile.

"Oh dear, we're all family here. You don't need to make proposals; just tell me what you want to say," Wang Cuifen laughed brightly.

"It's like this, Mom. The full payment for this house is nearly 500,000 yuan. Su Yuan and Tian Yan will cover the cost of the house. As for the remaining 100,000 yuan or so needed for renovation, let Ning Yuan and Tian Jing pay it. What do you think" After saying that, Su Yuan glanced at Ning Yuan with a smug look in his eyes, filled with malice. He thought to himself, 'Ha! You looked down on me when we were in junior high school; now I'll make your life miserable. Let's see what it feels like to be humiliated.'

Ning Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, while Tian Jing's face showed signs of anger!

To renovate a house would cost at least 100,000 yuan. Su Yuan knew very well that Ning Yuan didn't have much money, yet he still made such a proposal, clearly having ill intentions.

Wang Cuifen glanced at Ning Yuan and pursed her lips, with a tone of disdain in her voice as she said, "This depends on what Little Ning thinks."

In that instant, Ning Yuan felt his face burning hot and wanted to leave right away, but he knew that would only show how incapable he was.

Tian Jing couldn't bear it anymore: "Brother-in-law, you know clearly that neither Ningyuan nor I have much money. Why are you still saying this Aren't you just trying to embarrass us on purpose"e could not let herself be cornered by the Demon King or else she would surely die!Thus, her body arched back with incredible curvature as she kicked out behind her, hitting Wang Zheng's fist dead on....
