"Deng Huai, aren't you going to hurry up and come over to trim my toenails for me?"
Luxuriously sprawled on the genuine leather couch, two stunning beauties were chattering and laughing, their silvery laughter resonating in the air.
One was Deng Huai's wife, Sheng Weishuang, and the other was his sister-in-law, Sheng Xinlan.
Each exceedingly beautiful, with bewitching figures, unique in their own right, their beauty can captivate any hearts.
During a lull in their conversation, Sheng Weishuang called out to Deng Huai, who was busy with household chores, and elegantly stretched out her slender, attractive leg.
Upon hearing his wife's demand, Deng Huai instantly set aside what he was doing and hurried over.
He knelt on the ground, carefully lifting his wife's delicate foot, and started diligently trimming her toenails.
"Sister, you're becoming more and more vivacious! Should I measure your size for you?"
Sheng Xinlan teased, her nimble fingers mischievously scratching Sheng Weishuang's ticklish spot.
"Stop messing around!"
Sheng Weishuang laughed out, her body involuntarily twitching.
With that movement, Deng Huai's hand wobbles, inadvertently touching Sheng Weishuang's foot.
"Ah!" Sheng Weishuang screamed out in pain, her face instantly paling.
She violently retracted her foot, sending Deng Huai flying with a fierce kick. Her gorgeous face turns cold as frost, "You useless person, are you trying to rebel?!"
"Sister, are you alright?"
Sheng Xinlan quickly consoled Sheng Weishuang, meanwhile glancing at Deng Huai with a look of disgust. Her red lips quirked up in an ironic smile.
"Deng Huai, you can't even cut a toenail properly, what use are you? I think my family must have been blind to let a good-for-nothing like you become our son-in-law!"
Deng Huai clutched his stomach, standing up slowly. He felt extremely aggrieved but did not dare to utter a word.
Because, just like his sister-in-law said, he was nothing more than a lowly, useless son-in-law.
Ever since they got married three years ago, he was treated like the lowest servant. If the Sheng family felt annoyed, they took it out on him.
Being married to Sheng Weishuang for three years, flirting was out of the question, he hadn't even touched her hand!
Every night, Deng Huai would lie alone in his shabby little room, afraid of disturbing his delicate wife's sleep.
The dirtiest and most tiring chores all fell on him.
Once, he accidentally broke a dish while washing them and was immediately kicked out by his wife, made to stand as punishment for a full hour.
Another time, he was a split second late in bringing the foot washing water, Sheng Weishuang slapped him without a second thought, cursing him soundly.
Three years, a full three years!
Deng Huai was accustomed to this kind of life, even somewhat numb.
The most ridiculous part was that he, a worthless man, actually had genuine feelings for Sheng Weishuang, despite her disdain and disgust towards him.
In actuality, Deng Huai was the second son of the Deng family, a powerful and influential family in the capital.
However, three years ago, Deng Huai had invested a full ten million in cash in a real estate company called Yue Tian.
At that time, the Yue Tian Company was teetering on the brink of collapse. The threat of restructuring was imminent and the company seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy. It was like a hot potato; nobody dared to touch.
The Deng family was in an uproar over Deng Huai's handling of the situation.
Some criticized him for his foolish actions and questioned if his brains gone muddled. Others began spreading conspiracy theories that he was intentionally bankrupting the family fortune.
Deng Huai was nailed to the family's pillar of shame, becoming a target of criticism.
In the end, the cunning elders of the Deng family decided to remove Deng Huai from all family affairs.
Feeling helpless and tasting the bitter and sweet of the world, Deng Huai ended up being the son-in-law of the esteemed Sheng family in Hangzhou.
"Alright, sister, stop being mad at this good-for-nothing. It's not worth it," Sheng Xin Lan gently suggested while holding onto Sheng Wei Shuang's arm.
Sheng Wei Shuang nodded slightly and with a wave of her hand, indicated it was time for Deng Huai to leave.
"All the others married into wealthy and noble families, but look at me. I married this waste!" Sheng Wei Shuang sighed heavily. "The family annual meeting is tomorrow. Bringing such an embarrassment will only make us the talk of the town!"
