Chapter 189 – Don’t call me that. You’re not worthy
"Thank you, honey."
Seeing Lin Huanxi manage to calm down her parents-in-law, Ye Qiu smiled and thanked her.
"I told you not to call me that. You're not worthy."
Lin Huanxi glared at him fiercely and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him any longer.
Ye Qiu didn't mind.
He thought to himself that now his strength had returned.
Sooner or later, he would show her that he was the man most worthy of having her in this world.
Tang Yu, who was getting close to their family, overheard this conversation.
He couldn't help but laugh wildly in his heart.
[Isn't this guy just asking for a scolding?]
[If you're going to be a son-in-law, then be one. Why insist on being a gigolo at home?]
[If you just went out and found a job, did something proper, you wouldn't be looked down upon like this.]
[Living so miserably, yet still putting on airs and being self-righteous.]
[As if earning a few thousand a month at a job would be a disgrace to you.]
[Poor Lin Huanxi, such a great beauty, with ability, looks, and grace.]
[If she weren't so filial, why would she need to put up with your nonsense?]
Tang Yu snidely criticized in his heart.
Lin Huanxi, who was feeling down, suddenly heard these words.
She widened her beautiful eyes and looked around.
Who was just speaking?
How did they know so much about her family's situation?
The reason she looked down on Ye Qiu was precisely because of his problematic mindset.
He had a stubborn pride deep in his bones.
He'd rather be a gigolo at home than go out and work under someone else's thumb.
As for the outside world's misunderstanding of her, the rumors that she was conquered by Ye Qiu in bed and couldn't bear to divorce him.
That was what made her feel most wronged.
She was just too filial and traditional, unwilling to go against her grandmother's dying wish.
But after looking around, she couldn't find who was speaking, and it seemed like no one else heard it.
So she thought she must have been hallucinating.
Hearing the voice from deep within her heart.
Otherwise, how could there be someone in this world who understood her so well?
After circling around Ye Qiu's family of four.
Tang Yu finally found an opportunity.
He snuck away the birthday gift they had prepared.
He chuckled as he ran into the bathroom and closed the door.
Opening the gift box, he found a purple ginseng inside.
This purple ginseng was of excellent quality, at least two hundred years old, a rare treasure.
Its value was at least sixty million!
According to the original plot, today Lin Huanxi's family, wanting to make Lin Tiancheng's birthday a happy one.
Despite their financial struggles, they had gritted their teeth.
And spent five million to buy a jade Buddha.
The second to present a gift was Yanjing's Li Family's eldest young master, Li Yunhao.
He had always been a staunch pursuer of Lin Huanxi.
Even though Lin Huanxi had been married for five years, he refused to give up.
With a determined attitude to take over.
He was also the typical cannon fodder character in son-in-law stories.
"Grandpa Lin, this is a masterpiece by Master Wang Hegao, 'Longevity Like the Southern Mountains', specially sent to celebrate your birthday, wishing you happiness as vast as the eastern seas and longevity like the southern mountains."
He smiled as he handed the gift to Lin Tiancheng.
Hearing the name of the painting, everyone understood its value.
"I heard this painting was auctioned for twenty million before, didn't expect it was bought by Young Master Li."
"Not cheap, Young Master Li is really generous."
"Hehe, he's after Lin Huanxi, been thinking about it for years."
The guests laughed and discussed.
Even after five years of marriage.
Only he could persistently refuse to give up being a simp.
Those young masters who pursued Lin Huanxi before, after all, had some dignity.
They wouldn't be so full to chase after a woman married for five years.
"Young Master Li, you're too kind, such a generous gift, I really feel embarrassed to accept."
Lin Tiancheng's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Looking at this Young Master Li more and more favorably.
The Li family he belonged to was now a large and prosperous family.
With assets of about three hundred billion.
If he could become his granddaughter's husband.
The Lin family would be holding onto a big leg.
Unfortunately, his granddaughter refused to divorce that useless Ye Qiu no matter what.
"Oh, Young Master Li is really generous, I say Huanxi, you should divorce this useless man and be with Young Master Li."
Hou Caichun's eyes almost popped out looking at the painting worth twenty million.
"Mom, didn't we agree not to talk about this?"
Lin Huanxi sighed.
Not wanting to discuss this topic that had been talked about countless times.
"If not this, then what? Talk about Ye Qiu, this useless man who has made our family a disgrace?"
"If not for him, would your grandfather be squeezing our family? Even the dividends are almost gone."
"Look at your uncle's family, they can give gifts worth over ten million, living so comfortably."
"We emptied our savings and borrowed five hundred thousand just to give this jade Buddha."
"How can we continue living like this?"
Hou Caichun's eyes reddened as she spoke.
Turning around, she gave Ye Qiu a heavy kick in frustration.
After taking a kick from his mother-in-law, Ye Qiu just stepped back two steps and brushed the dust off his pants indifferently.
Now that his cultivation had been restored, he was like a true dragon among men.
Why bother with a brainless old woman?
If not for her being his mother-in-law.
He would have slapped her to death long ago.
