The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Michael Wang's newly opened restaurant was located in the development zone of Jinling City.

The development zone was quite far from the city center, and the area was sparsely populated. James Ye was puzzled as to why Michael Wang chose to open his restaurant here.

However, Mary Xiao mentioned that several large manufacturing enterprises, including big companies like Foxconn, were planning to move into the development zone soon, and it would become bustling in no time.

So, Michael Wang's decision to open his restaurant here was actually quite wise.

Michael's restaurant was situated on the side of a wide, new street and looked quite large, with two floors.

The restaurant was named "Yuelai Diner," which had a certain poetic charm to it.

When James Ye drove to the entrance of the restaurant, there was already a row of cars parked there. A few people were standing in front of a golden BMW, smoking and chatting.

James recognized these people; they were all former classmates from college, but he had no real connection with them.

The leader of the group was Paul Wang, a well-known rich kid from their class who had always had a thing for Mary Xiao, but she had never paid him any attention.

At this moment, Paul Wang was leaning against the golden BMW, basking in the compliments from his classmates. A few male classmates were commenting on his new BMW, exclaiming, "Paul, you're really living the dream! How long has it been since we graduated, and you're already driving a BMW! Is this a 540? The top model of the 5 Series?"

Paul Wang laughed heartily and said, "Oh, it's just a 540, a car worth seventy to eighty grand, nothing much."

"Wow! A 540? That's the most expensive imported model of the 5 Series!"

"Man, I can't even scrape together the down payment for a $20,000 BMW 1 Series. Compared to Paul, I'm really lagging behind!"

"Paul, this car must have some serious power, right?"

Paul Wang smiled smugly and said, "It's alright, the power is pretty strong. I rarely meet any competition on the streets."

"That's awesome! If only I had a BMW, my girlfriend wouldn't complain about me not being able to afford a car every day. It's driving me nuts!"

At this moment, someone with sharp eyes noticed another BMW approaching and exclaimed, "Hey, is that another classmate's BMW?"

"Oh my god! Isn't that James Ye, the loser?"

"It looks like Mary Xiao is in the passenger seat! Damn, this gigolo is driving a BMW too. He must be riding on Mary's coattails!"

Paul Wang also saw James Ye in the car and said with a gloomy expression, "So it's this waste of space! Damn, he's really lucky!"

Someone then asked, "Hey, what series is his BMW?"

Just then, James Ye parked the car nearby and reversed into a spot. Paul Wang saw the 520 badge on the back and sneered disdainfully, "Hah, a 520, the lowest model of the 5 Series. Only a loser trying to look rich would drive this model!"

Someone next to him immediately nodded and said, "Paul, you have the top model of the 5 Series, and he has the cheapest one. There's a huge difference between the two of you!"

For the full version, visit [ ].

Paul Wang snorted coldly, "My car could buy two of his!"

"Paul, you're the best!"

At this moment, James Ye parked the car, and Mary Xiao and Linda Dong got out first.

The guys immediately stared, swarming to greet them, "Wow, the two beauties of our class are here together!"

Mary Xiao and Linda Dong politely greeted everyone. Paul Wang, looking at the now even more stunning Mary Xiao, felt extremely unbalanced inside.

Damn it, why?

He had pursued Mary Xiao desperately in college, but she had never paid him any attention.

Now, she had married a live-in son-in-law, a worthless gigolo!

Heaven must be blind!

Thinking of this, he sneered and mocked, "Hey James, your life as a live-in son-in-law seems pretty good! You're even driving a BMW now! Did Mary's family buy it for you? You're really a role model for men taking shortcuts!"

Mary Xiao's expression turned a bit unpleasant upon hearing this, and Linda Dong immediately retorted, "Paul Wang, you're mistaken. This car wasn't bought by Mary's family; James bought it himself!"

"Oh really!" Paul Wang sneered, "Impressive, driving a 5 Series BMW!"

Then, he deliberately challenged James, "Hey James, there's not much traffic in this development zone, and the road in front of the restaurant is wide and straight. How about we race to see who's faster?"

James frowned, feeling a bit annoyed with Paul Wang.

Why are you picking a fight with me? We have no beef with each other.@@novelbin@@

Besides, you want to race cars with me? This is a BMW 760, the most expensive and fastest BMW model. Racing with you would be like bullying a child.

Paul Wang thought he was scared and immediately mocked, "Oh James, you're still as timid as you were in college! What's there to be afraid of in a race? Are you worried about the gas? I'll fill up your tank if that's the problem."

Linda Dong protested unhappily, "Hey, Paul Wang, what do you mean? Your car is a BMW 540, while James's is a 520. The power difference is several levels. Do you think it's fair to compare who runs faster?"

Paul Wang shrugged, "It's all about the skill of the driver! A good car doesn't necessarily run faster; it also depends on the driver's skill and courage. I wonder if James has the guts to race me? If he's scared, then forget it. Everyone knows James has never been able to stand out."

The people around immediately chimed in, "Yeah, if you're scared, just say so. It's not embarrassing."

James Ye smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Paul Wang, we can race, but we can't just talk about it. Let's add some stakes to make it interesting, shall we?"

"Sure!" Paul Wang was worried that James wouldn't take the bait. Hearing him mention stakes, he immediately thought James was digging his own grave and said, "How about this: the loser kneels and apologizes to the winner. What do you think?"

James shook his head, "We're adults now, let's not play such childish games."

At this moment, Michael Wang, dressed in a suit, came out holding a large plate of firecrackers. Seeing James, he excitedly approached and said, "Hey James, you're here!"

James nodded and smiled at him, "Congratulations on your new restaurant, Michael!"

Michael Wang laughed, "Thanks, brother!"

Paul Wang then coldly said, "James, don't change the subject. Tell me, what stakes do you think are appropriate?"

Michael Wang curiously asked, "What's going on? What are you guys up to?"

James smiled slightly, looking at the large plate of firecrackers in Michael's arms, and asked, "Michael, how many firecrackers are in this plate?"

"Thirty thousand!" Michael Wang laughed, "This plate of firecrackers isn't cheap, over six hundred bucks!"

James nodded and said to Paul Wang, "How about this: we'll race, and the loser will set off this plate of firecrackers inside their car. How about that?"
