Chapter 79: Beautiful Sister-in-law
“Brother-in-law, up so early?” Xu Dantong brushed back her hair that was tousled by the morning breeze. Her charming and deep eyes carried a hint of teasing as she looked at Zhang Yang. Her smooth, jade-like face was bathed in the morning glow, like a goddess secretly rising to watch the sunrise.
And that goddess was still wearing pajamas. Inside the pajamas!
Fine, Zhang Yang bet she definitely wasn’t wearing a bra… Even though she had put on his trench coat, the two small buds rising on her chest were clearly visible. Zhang Yang’s eyes were certainly sharp now.
Her breasts had the same firm shape as Xu Danlu’s—naturally round and perky, like they’d been sculpted, not sagging at all. But Zhang Yang could guarantee Lulu had never been to Bang Kingdom, and this science genius in front of him probably wasn’t crazy enough to have them done either.
Ahem, what the hell was he thinking right now.
“Morning!” Zhang Yang glanced at her awkwardly and quickly shifted his gaze away from her chest. “Why are you up so early too?”
Xu Dantong seemed to notice as well. She quickly pulled the trench coat tighter to cover her full curves and softly replied, “Couldn’t sleep.”
“Because of Uncle, right?”
“Mm.” Xu Dantong nodded. “Dad raised us three sisters all by himself, working so hard to get us into college one by one. Even after retirement, he still worked street stalls to help pay our tuition, and now he ends up like this…”
As she spoke, tears appeared on her face again, shining like pearls under the morning sun.
“I was thinking, if not for us, he wouldn’t have suffered so much.” She covered her nose with her hand, then looked up at Zhang Yang and said, “Brother-in-law, you’ll save Dad, right?”
“Good people always get rewarded.” Zhang Yang lifted his head toward the dawn light breaking through the darkness, then looked at her tear-streaked face, feeling an unexpected wave of emotion. The cliché line slipped right out.
“Tongtong, don’t worry. Your dad will be fine.” He realized how cheesy that sounded and quickly added another line.
“Thank you, brother-in-law.” Xu Dantong nodded, looking at him. “Dad will be fine.”
“It’s cold up here, let’s head down.” Seeing her lips trembling slightly, Zhang Yang felt a pang of concern. Not in that way—just instinctive care. Besides, once everyone woke up and saw them sneaking around like this… brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it wouldn’t look good.
“Mm.” Xu Dantong nodded and glanced at him. Maybe his comfort worked, because she’d stopped crying and even blushed a little. “Brother-in-law, you’re quite thoughtful, huh? Is this how you hooked my sister before?”

Zhang Yang gave her a speechless look and countered, “Tongtong, do you have a boyfriend?”
“No. Why?”
“Then how do you know I hooked your sister like that? I thought you were the experienced one.” Zhang Yang rubbed his hands together—it was freezing this morning. Why the hell did he come up here acting cool? He muttered to himself, “So pretty, what a waste.”
“Brother-in-law, what did you say?” Xu Dantong, following him through the door, pretended not to hear clearly, her lips curving into a faint smile. She bit her lower lip, slipped closer to Zhang Yang, handed him back the trench coat, and whispered, “Don’t tell my sister you saw me here.”
Then, like a little thief, she darted away.
For a brief moment, Zhang Yang could clearly feel her firm breasts brush against his back—absolutely intoxicating… this sister-in-law was really playing her part well…
Zhang Yang didn’t go to Xu Danlu’s room. Though his little brother had been starving for days, there were far more important matters at hand. He could only endure.
There was still no news from his future father-in-law. Checking the time, eight hours had already passed. Growing anxious, he called Wu Hao, who was on duty.
Handsome Wu replied that the anti-cancer cells should have entered the tumor tissue, but from the pathology report so far, it looked no different from standard chemotherapy drugs. It might just need more time.
Fine, that’s all they could do for now.
Qiao Xier was already waiting at the door. Today was the official release day of Nanxing One. Although Zhang Yang would stay behind the scenes, he still had to attend as a team member, in case anything went wrong.
The three Xu sisters went to visit their father as usual, while Qiao Xier drove a red A6. Normally, Zhang Yang would take the front seat, but Liu Zixuan forced him into the back, where Tian Tian sat too—two beautiful women flanking him like guards escorting a prisoner.
“Senior, be honest. When did you hook up with those two beauties from last night? They’re pretty damn good. The older one’s got curves for days and those tits, damn. The younger one’s a total cutie—looks shy, but trust me, girls like that are dripping wet down there, top-tier, tsk tsk…”
Hearing that, Qiao Xier nearly swerved the car into the curb, while Zhang Yang broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, could she be any filthier?
Still, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “They live right next to you, and you didn’t ask?”
“It was too late last night, felt weird asking.” Liu Zixuan widened her eyes like a thief, staring at Zhang Yang almost drooling. “So? I saw you and the older one sneaking down from the balcony this morning. You must’ve been up to no good, right? Haha, and I heard you went to the hospital after—don’t tell me she’s pregnant already?”
Shit! She saw that? Zhang Yang instinctively reached out to cover her mouth.
“June, stop talking nonsense. They’re Zhang Yang’s sisters-in-law… Lulu’s sisters. But wait, what did you mean by ‘this morning’? What were they doing?” Qiao Xier asked while driving fast, glancing at them through the mirror.
“Sneaking around on the balcony.” Liu Zixuan pried his hand off, frowning as she recalled. “That Tongtong was still in her pajamas. And hey, she wasn’t wearing a bra.”
Hearing that, Zhang Yang nearly choked. Damn it, could she stop saying things like that? This girl was a menace—he’d have to find a way to shut her up permanently.
Qiao Xier gave Zhang Yang a long, meaningful look before turning back to the road.
“It’s not what you think, okay?” Zhang Yang was speechless. If Qiao Xier and Tian Tian weren’t here, he would’ve stripped that brat Liu Zixuan and taught her a lesson himself… slander master.
“She was worried about her father’s condition.” Zhang Yang mainly said that for Qiao Xier’s sake. She was driving fast, but her ears were clearly tuned in to his explanation.
“Last night, her father was injected with ten milliliters of Nanxing One…”
“What…” The A6 screeched to a halt so suddenly that Liu Zixuan and Tian Tian flew forward like sandbags, slamming into the front seats. They stared at each other wide-eyed—did they just crash?
Zhang Yang had expected Qiao Xier’s reaction and was prepared, so he stayed fine.
Qiao Xier turned to him, eyes sharp. “Besides Professor Shangguan, who else knows about this?”
Tian Tian and Liu Zixuan finally processed what he’d said and stared at Zhang Yang in shock. Was he insane?
“Senior Wu Hao, plus Professor Zheng and Professor Ding.”
“You might not care about consequences, but how could they let you go through with this? Do you realize how serious this is if the trial fails? Why didn’t you tell me?” Qiao Xier’s tone carried real anger.
But it was precisely that anger that made Zhang Yang realize she cared. He sighed, looking into her fiery eyes, and said helplessly, “If I had told you, would you have let me use it?”
Qiao Xier bit her lip, turned away with a huff, and slammed the gas pedal. The sudden acceleration threw Tian Tian and Liu Zixuan back into their seats again, waves bouncing—unlike yesterday’s smooth ride. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang just sat there calmly as if nothing happened.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xier asked again, “And the results? Theoretically, there should be signs of progress by now, right?”
Zhang Yang hesitated, wondering how to respond, when his phone rang. It was Wu Hao.
