"Xiao Family's descendant, congratulations to our ancestor for the blessing of his birth and the blessing of Jin An!"
Tonight, the Xiao family's villa was resplendent. The lights were bright and the sound was like a bell to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Xiao family's old lady.
"Grandma, this is a gift for you. It's a big red robe on Mount Wu. It's worth 200,000 yuan per kilogram."
"Grandma, you believe in Buddhism. I specially bought this jade Buddha statue that was worn out by a master. It's worth 500,000 yuan."
。。。。。
Looking at the gifts of a group of descendants, old lady Xiao smiled happily. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. The Xiao family and the whole family were happy.
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Grandma, Aunt Li from the welfare home got virality and needed money to treat the disease. Can you lend me two million yuan..."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in the luxurious villa were silent. They all looked at the speaker with incredible eyes.
"Ye Chen, are you crazy?"
"Ye Chen, although you're just a son-in-law, you're still the grandson-in-law of the Xiao Family. I'm here today's grand birthday, so it's alright if you don't prepare any gifts. How dare you ask me to borrow two million from me?"
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa took in Sister Lingyue and married you with great mercy three years ago, you might still be able to ask for food now. Now that Grandpa has passed away, did you openly become an ungrateful person?"
。。。。。
Hearing the curses of the crowd, old lady Xiao gradually stopped smiling and glared at Ye Chen. She suddenly threw the teacup in her hand to the ground and shouted angrily, "Bastard, do you really think that my old woman is dead?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent. Ye Chen's wife Xiao Lingyue quickly stepped forward and said to the old lady, "Grandma, Ye Chen didn't do it on purpose. Don't take it to heart..."
But before he finished his words, Xiao Lingyue's cousin Xiao Qingcheng sneered and said, "Sister, your husband is really a good husband. I'm just engaged with Ruo Ming, and he sent me a jade Buddha statue worth five hundred thousand yuan. But you, your husband, not only didn't bring any gifts, but also had the face to borrow money from me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"
"Brother Ye Chen, I really don't mean to talk about you, but as the grandson-in-law of the Xiao Family, you, the grandson-in-law of the Zhangsun Family, have done a little bit down!"
Xiao Qingcheng's voice just fell, and the fiance standing beside her, the young master of the local big family, Wang Ruoming, also agreed.
When he looked scornfully at Ye Chen, his eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Lingyue. As a famous goddess in the entire Jinling City, Xiao Lingyue was much more beautiful than her fiancee Xiao Qingcheng. But this woman, who was surrounded by many stars and moon, married such a good-for-nothing like Ye Chen. How could he not be happy?
As soon as he said this, the Xiao family's villa was suddenly in an uproar.
"This kind of trash, he still has the face to stay in our Xiao Family. Our Xiao Family's face has been lost by him!"
"That's right. In my opinion, we'd better get him out of here as soon as possible!"
"I don't think he's here to borrow money. He's here to disappoint the Old Madam!"
。。。。。
Listening to the curses of the people around him, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. After a long silence, he said slowly, "Grandma, please, please. Aunt Li's illness can't be delayed. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Please do your best..."
"Mr. Ye, if you want to save people, you can pay for it by yourself. What's wrong with you to borrow money from grandma? Today is grandma's 70th birthday. Don't talk nonsense here to deceive the public!"
Before Ye Chen could finish his words, Xiao Qingcheng's brother Xiao Z Jingcheng shouted in a deep voice.
Seeing that Ye Chen had become the target of public criticism, Xiao Lingyue's expression was somewhat unnatural. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Grandma, when Ye Chen was eight years old, he lost his father. He was taken in by Aunt Li of the welfare home. If it weren't for Aunt Li, Ye Chen might have died long ago. He just wanted to repay Ye Chen's kindness. Please help him..."
Hearing this, old lady Xiao's face darkened and she snorted, "It's no problem to ask me to help him, but you have to divorce him and marry Master Zhang. As long as you agree, I will give him two million yuan now!"
His words caused an uproar among the crowd, but they all looked as expected, because everyone knew Zhang Wendong, the young master mentioned by Old Lady Xiao. After all, the Zhang family was a top-class family in Jinling, much stronger than the Xiao family. Coincidentally, Zhang Wendong always admired Xiao Lingyue, so Old Lady Xiao had long wanted to take the opportunity to make use of this problem to bring Xiao Lingyue and Zhang Wendong together, so that she could curry favor with Zhang family.
At this moment, the housekeeper ran in and respectfully said in a loud voice, "Mr. Zhang Wendong asked someone to send a gift to you. It's a piece of jade token carved by an old pit. It's worth three million yuan. Congratulations, ancestor, for your good luck and blessing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the people present were amazed. Old Lady Xiao was also overjoyed and quickly said, "Quick, bring it up!"
The butler answered and handed a green jade to the old lady.
The jade was crystally clear, without any magazine. At first glance, it was of great value. Old Lady Xiao smiled and played with the jade Buddha card. She couldn't let go of it and laughed happily, "Oh, it really makes Mr. Zhang worry about me!"
With this, she looked up at Xiao Lingyue and said in a low voice, "How's your plan going?"
Xiao Lingyue shook her head and said without hesitation, "Grandma, I won't divorce Ye Chen."
Hearing Xiao Lingyue's decisive words, the old lady Xiao's face changed. She slammed the table and shouted angrily, "I don't want to be punished. I don't understand. What's there to miss about this good-for-nothing? What are you looking at? Get the good-for-nothing out of here. Don't bother me here. It's disgusting to look at him!"
Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he did not refute. He just whispered to Xiao Lingyue, "Lingyue, I'll go and see how Auntie Li is doing. I'm worried about her being alone in the hospital."
Xiao Lingyue quickly said, "I'll go with you."
Old Lady Xiao was so angry that her face turned livid. She shouted, "If you dare to go with this good-for-nothing today, I'll take you as my granddaughter!"
Seeing the angry old lady Xiao, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, you can stay here to celebrate my grandmother's birthday."
After that, Ye Chen turned around and left without looking back.
"What kind of child-in-law? I think he's just a wastrel!"
Looking at his back, the Xiao family members kept talking and laughing.
。。。。。
When Ye Chen came to the hospital and wanted to communicate with the toll office that the medical expenses could not be melted for a few days, the nurse told him that Aunt Li had been sent to the best hospital in Yanjing for treatment overnight.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How much does it cost? I'm going to find a way now!"
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "About four million."
Ye Chen was a little confused. He muttered, "Four million..."
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, the nurse said in surprise, "Didn't you already pay two million yuan? You can hand it over in the rest of the week."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen was completely stunned. He said incredulously, "Two million? Who paid for it?"
The nurse shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Just as Ye Chen was scratching his head, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with gray hair appeared in front of him.
Ye Chen looked up and found that the man was respectful. He bowed deeply to him and said in a low voice, "Young Master, I finally see you again!"
