The Ye family is one of the top families in Yanjing and in the whole country. However, Ye Chen, a son-in-law of the family, is looked down upon by everyone. Unbeknownst to them, his true identity is a well-guarded secret. Those who currently scorn him will eventually kneel before him, calling him "Master" in fear and trepidation.
The luxurious Xiao family villa was brightly lit.
Tonight is the 70th birthday party of the Xiao family's head, Mrs. Xiao.
A group of grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons-in-law presented generous gifts.
"Grandma, I heard that you love to drink tea. This century-old Pu'er tea brick is worth 500,000 yuan. It is a birthday gift for you."
"Grandma, I heard that you believe in Buddhism. This jade Buddha is carved from Hetian jade and is worth 700,000 yuan..."
Mrs. Xiao looked at the various gifts and laughed heartily. The whole family was happy.
At this time, Ye Chen, the eldest grandson-in-law of Mrs. Xiao, suddenly said, "Grandma, can you lend me one million? Aunt Li from the welfare home has uremia and needs money for treatment..."
The whole Xiao family was shocked.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen with incredible eyes.
This son-in-law is too bold, isn't he? Not only did he not prepare any gifts for the old lady's birthday, but he even dared to ask the old lady to borrow one million?
Three years ago, Mr. Xiao, who was still alive, found Ye Chen from nowhere and insisted on marrying his eldest granddaughter Xiao Churan to him. At that time, Ye Chen was penniless and was just like a beggar.
After the two got married, the old man passed away. Since then, the Xiao family has been trying to drive him away.
But Ye Chen is indifferent and remains unmoved by any insults from others, so he has been a son-in-law in the Xiao family.
Asking the old lady for money today is also a helpless move.
Aunt Li from the welfare home who took him in and saved his life has uremia. Dialysis and kidney transplantation require at least one million. He really has no choice but to ask the old lady.
He thinks that today is the old lady's birthday. If the old lady is happy, she might be willing to help.
Unexpectedly, the old lady Xiao was still laughing in the last second, and she immediately frowned in this second.
She threw the teacup in her hand to the ground and shouted angrily: "Asshole, are you here to celebrate birthdays or to borrow money?"
Ye Chen's wife Xiao Churan hurried forward and explained to the old lady: "Grandma, Ye Chen is ignorant, please don't be offended."
As she said, she was about to pull Ye Chen aside.
At this time, Xiao Churan's cousin Xiao Weiwei sneered and said: "Sister, look at what kind of rubbish you married! Yunfei and I are only engaged, not married yet, Yunfei gave grandma a Hetian jade Buddha, but you, your husband, didn't bring any gifts, and you still have the face to ask grandma to borrow money!"
"That's right, brother Ye Chen, we are both grandsons-in-law of the Xiao family, and you, the eldest grandson-in-law, are such a failure in doing things!"
The man who spoke was Xiao Weiwei's fiancé, Wang Yunfei, the young master of a local big family.
Although Wang Yunfei was about to marry Xiao Weiwei, in his mind, Xiao Weiwei's appearance was really a world away from Ye Chen's wife Xiao Churan.
Xiao Churan is a goddess famous throughout Jinling, but seeing that the goddess married this loser, Wang Yunfei was very upset.
"This kind of rubbish, it's best to get out of our Xiao family as soon as possible!"
"That's right! This guy has made the Xiao family lose face!"
"I think he is not borrowing money, but deliberately ruining the mood of the old lady's birthday party!"
Seeing that the whole Xiao family was targeting and insulting him, Ye Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.
If it weren't for the medical expenses for his lifesaver, he would have turned around and left this place of right and wrong.
However, thinking of his father's teachings to him since he was a child, he should repay a drop of water with a spring, so he suppressed the humiliation in his heart and said to the old lady Xiao: "Grandma, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, please have mercy..."
Someone snorted coldly and cursed: "Ye, don't give me a lot of magic here, if you want to save people, you can find a way yourself, and let me pay for you to save people, who do you think you are?" The speaker
was Xiao Weiwei's brother, Xiao Hailong.
The two siblings have always had a lot of opinions about Xiao Churan, who is superior to them in all aspects, so they like to take the opportunity to ridicule Ye Chen.
Xiao Churan, who was standing aside, looked a little embarrassed and said, "Grandma, Ye Chen lost his father when he was eight years old. It was Aunt Li from the welfare home who raised him. He wants to repay her out of a grateful heart. Please help him..."
Old lady Xiao said with a dark face, "Let me help him? Okay, unless you divorce him and marry Mr. Zhang. If you do so, I will give him one million immediately!" The Mr.
Zhang mentioned by the old lady is Zhang Wenhao, who has been pursuing Xiao Churan. The Zhang family is an upper-class family in Jinling, much more powerful than the Xiao family, and the old lady has always wanted to curry favor with them.
At this time, the housekeeper ran in and said loudly: "Master Zhang Wenhao sent someone to deliver a birthday gift! A Buddha amulet carved from old pit jade, worth three million yuan!"
Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed and blurted out: "Bring it here, let me see it!"
The housekeeper immediately handed over a piece of emerald green jade Buddha amulet, and everyone present exclaimed.
This jade Buddha amulet was emerald green and crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, and it was obviously a top-grade product.
Wang Yunfei, who had given the Hetian jade Buddha, was a little embarrassed when he saw this jade Buddha amulet. He didn't expect that Zhang Wenhao, who had nothing to do with the Xiao family, was so generous!
Old lady Xiao was playing with the jade Buddha amulet happily, and said excitedly: "Oh, Mr. Zhang is so thoughtful! If he can be my grandson-in-law, I will wake up with laughter in my dreams!"
After that, she looked up at Xiao Churan: "What do you think? Do you want to consider my conditions?"
Xiao Churan shook her head: "Grandma, I will not divorce Ye Chen."
Old lady Xiao's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and she cursed angrily: "You don't want to show your face! You have to hang yourself on this waste! Get this waste out of here! This waste is not allowed to attend my birthday party!"
Ye Chen was completely disappointed with the Xiao family. He didn't have the face to stay in the Xiao family at this time, so he said to Xiao Churan: "Churuan, I'm going to the hospital to see Aunt Li."
Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Then I'll go with you."
Old lady Xiao cursed at this time: "If you leave too, I will no longer have a granddaughter like you! Take your father and mother and get out of the Xiao family with this waste!"
Xiao Churan was stunned. She didn't expect the old lady to say such cruel words.
Ye Chen hurriedly said, "You stay, don't worry about me."
Without waiting for Xiao Churan to come back to his senses, he turned around and walked out.
Xiao Hailong laughed behind him, "Oh my good brother-in-law, you left hungry, you won't go to the street to beg for food? If so, won't you lose face for our Xiao family? I still have one dollar, you can buy a steamed bun!"
Xiao Hailong said, and took out a coin and threw it at Ye Chen's feet.
The whole Xiao family laughed.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and left the Xiao family without looking back.
...
Rushing to the hospital, Ye Chen immediately went to the payment office, wanting to communicate with the hospital to postpone the medical expenses for another two days.
However, when he asked the nurse, he was suddenly told that Aunt Li had been sent to the best Union Hospital in Yanjing for treatment overnight.
Ye Chen was shocked and asked her hurriedly, "How much does it cost? I'll find a way!"
The other party said, "A total of three million is needed. One million has been paid, and there is still a shortfall of two million. It must be paid within a week."
"Who paid this one million?"
The other person shook his head: "I don't know either."
Ye Chen was surprised and was about to figure out the matter. When he turned around, he saw a man in his fifties wearing a black suit, with some gray hair, standing behind him.
When their eyes met, the man bowed to him and said, "Master, you have suffered for so many years!"
Ye Chen frowned, and his whole temperament seemed to have changed. He asked in a cold voice, "Are you Tang Sihai?"
The other party said in surprise, "Master, you still remember me!"
Ye Chen's expression froze, and he murmured, "Of course I remember! I remember every one of you! Back then, it was you who forced my parents to take me away from Yanjing and flee all the way. During this time, my parents died in an accident, and I became an orphan. What are you looking for me for now!"
Tang Sihai said very painfully, "Young Master, when your father died, the master was also very sad. He has been looking for you for so many years. Now, come back with me to see him!"
Ye Chen said coldly, "Go, I will never see him in this life."
Tang Sihai said, "Master, do you still blame the master?"
"Of course." Ye Chen said word by word, "I will never forgive him in this life!"
"Hey..." Tang Sihai sighed and said, "Before I came, the master said that you might not forgive him."
"He is self-aware!"
Tang Sihai said, "The master knows that you have suffered these years, so let me give you some compensation. If you don't want to go back, I will buy the largest enterprise in Jinling and give it to you. In addition, I will give you this card. The password is your birthday."
As he said that, Tang Sihai handed over a top-level black gold card of Citibank.
"Master, there are only five such cards in the country."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Take it, I don't want it."
Tang Sihai said, "Master, your lifesaver still needs two million in medical expenses. If he can't pay it, his life may be in danger..."
Ye Chen frowned, "Are you deliberately calculating against me?"
Tang Sihai said hurriedly, "I dare not! If you accept this card, it will be enough to pay the money."
Ye Chen asked, "How much money is in this card?"
"The master said that this card is for your pocket money, not much, a total of 10 billion!"
