Chapter 189: Don't call me your wife, you don't deserve it

"Thank you, wife."

Seeing that Lin Huanxi had managed to calm her in-laws, Ye Qiu smiled and thanked her.

"I told you not to call me wife, you don't deserve it."

Lin Huanxi shot him an angry glance, then turned her head, not wanting to look at him anymore.

Ye Qiu didn't take it seriously.

He thought that now that he had regained his strength, sooner or later she would realize that he was the man who deserved to be with her the most in this world.

Tang Yu, who was already near the family, couldn't help but laugh to herself as she overheard this conversation.

[Doesn't he deserve to be scolded and mocked?]

[If you're going to be a son-in-law, you should be a good one, but you're still a kept man in this house.]

[If only you went out to work and did something serious, they wouldn't look down on you like this..]

[You're as miserable as you are, and still think you're important?]

[Wouldn't you lose your dignity for earning a few thousand a month working?]

[It's a shame Lin Huanxi is such a beautiful woman, skilled, good-looking, and classy.]

[You don't have to put up with all this just because you're 'good' to your grandmother.]

Tang Yu started to complain in her mind.

Just when Lin Huanxi was in a bad mood, she suddenly heard those words.

She opened her eyes wide, looking around.

Who was speaking?

Why did it seem like they knew so much about her situation?

The reason she despised Ye Qiu was precisely because of his way of thinking.

He had an arrogant attitude.

He preferred to stay at home living off her rather than go out and work and face people.

What bothered her the most was how everyone misinterpreted her. Rumors said she refused to divorce because Ye Qiu had conquered her in bed.

That was what made her feel the most indignant.

She was just a person too respectful and traditional, who didn't want to disobey her grandmother's last wish.

However, after looking around, she couldn't find who was speaking, and others seemed not to have heard it.

She thought she might be hallucinating.

She had heard her own thoughts.

Otherwise, how could there be someone in this world who knew so much about her?

After walking around Ye Qiu's family of four, Tang Yu finally found the opportunity.

She stole the birthday gift they had prepared.

With a mischievous laugh, she went into the bathroom, closed the door, and opened the gift box.

Inside was a purple ginseng root.

The ginseng looked excellent, over 200 years old, a rare and valuable product.

Its value was at least 60 million.

According to the original plot, today the Lin Huanxi family had made an economic effort to buy a jade statue for Grandpa Lin's birthday.

Although it wasn't a luxury gift for a family like theirs, at least it was an effort to show respect, right?

However, Ye Qiu, in order to show off, had replaced the jade statue with the purple ginseng, intending to surprise everyone at the birthday party.

It was his chance to prove that he had just been too humble and that he was much more capable than others thought.

"Sigh, haha, I'm here to enjoy it for you.."

Tang Yu giggled, took out a small straw, and inserted it into the purple ginseng.

After sucking the most valuable medicinal juice, the ginseng seemed to have lost some of its shape.

This left Tang Yu a bit stunned.

She hadn't planned it this way, didn't think it would get damaged with a single sip.

If it couldn't recover its shape, everything would be discovered.

She had no choice but to take out an unopened syringe.

Then, she accidentally took out the laxative she had brought.

She mixed the laxative with water and inserted it into the syringe.

She then injected it into the ginseng.

This way, the ginseng regained its original shape.

"Don't say I took advantage of you, everything I've taken I'll return to you."

Tang Yu continued laughing as she put the ginseng back in the box and hurried out of the bathroom, running to return the gift to its original place.

After doing something bad, Tang Yu returned to her seat with a satisfied smile and began to slowly savor her tea.

Seeing that her young master was in a very good mood, Zhou Ganghao, curious, asked, "Young Tang, what did you do just now? Why are you in such a good mood?"

"I went to take a small drink, just one sip and it was 60 million. What do you think, interesting, huh?"

Tang Yu smiled with a mischievous laugh.

"Interesting, interesting!" replied Zhou Ganghao, with an envious look.

As expected of Young Tang, such a big gesture was simply a display of infinite wealth.

"I'll invite you next time I get the chance." Tang Yu patted Zhou Ganghao on the shoulder, with whom she seemed to get along very well.

When the time came, the official birthday banquet for Grandpa Lin began.

The elderly man, who was wearing a traditional red Chinese suit, looked very festive.

With a radiant smile, he stood on the stage and said, "I'm so glad that everyone has come to join me in celebrating my 70th birthday..."

After finishing his courteous speech, the guests began to approach him to give him gifts and congratulate him.

The first to do so was the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Shengle, with his family.

They gave him a painting worth ten million.

After giving it, the family of four knelt down and began to recite congratulatory words.

"Well, well, well! Get up, get up," said Grandpa Lin as he helped his eldest son up.

Next to present his gift was Li Yunhao, the eldest son of the Li family from Yanjing.

He had always been a strong suitor for Lin Huanxi.

Even though Lin Wanxi was already married, he hadn't stopped pursuing her.

He was the typical secondary character in a romance drama as a "forced son-in-law."

"Grandpa Lin, this is a famous painting by Wang Hegao titled 'Longevity Like the Southern Mountains.' I brought it specially to congratulate you and wish you a life as long as the southern mountains and fortune as great as the Eastern Sea."

He said while handing the gift to Grandpa Lin.

Upon hearing the name of the painting, everyone knew its value.

"They say this painting was auctioned for 20 million, didn't expect it to be bought by Young Li."

"Not cheap, Young Li really has money."

"Hehe, he's behind Lin Huanxi, he's been pursuing her for years."

The guests started to murmur and laugh.

Although she's already married, he still doesn't give up. Only he would keep following her like a dog, not losing hope.

The other young men pursuing her at least felt embarrassed to keep following a married woman.

"Young Li, you're too generous, I really feel embarrassed accepting such a valuable gift," said Lin Tiancheng, smiling broadly.

He looked at Young Li with appreciation.

The Li family, with its huge fortune, was worth about 300 billion.

If Li Yunhao could become their son-in-law, the Lin family would be embracing a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, their granddaughter refused to divorce Ye Qiu, a man who wasn't worth it.

"Ah, Young Li, you're really generous. In my opinion, Huanxi, you should divorce this useless man and be with Young Li. It would be much better."

Hou Caichun looked at the 20-million-painting and her eyes almost turned green with envy.

"Mom, didn't we say we weren't going to talk about this?" Lin Huanxi sighed.

She didn't want to keep discussing a topic that had already been brought up countless times.

"What else are we going to talk about then? About Ye Qiu, the trash who has embarrassed our family?"

"If it weren't for him, your grandfather wouldn't have excluded our family. They're not even giving us the bonus."

"Look at your uncle and his family, they can give gifts worth millions, they live in luxury."

"We had to empty our savings to give this jade Buddha and still borrowed money."

"How are we going to keep living like this?"

As she spoke, Hou Caichun's eyes filled with tears.

She turned around and kicked Ye Qiu hard to vent her anger.

After receiving the kick, Ye Qiu took a couple of steps back, dusted off his pants, and didn't pay it any attention.

Now that his cultivation had been restored, he was an existence comparable to a human dragon.

Why should he care about a foolish woman like her?

If it weren't for her being his mother-in-law, he would have killed her with a beating long ago.
