“Yeah, Chu Xue, your auntie is right.
Making a little sacrifice for the company isn’t a big deal!
We live in an open society; we’re all young, it’s nothing!”
“Anyway, giving your good-for-nothing husband any benefit is a waste, a fresh flower stuck on cow dung!
You and Young Master Zhao are truly a match made in heaven!”
…
Aunts and great-aunts swarmed all over Lin Chuxue, urging her and not taking Chen Tang into consideration at all.
This was forcing a bright green hat onto Chen Tang’s head!
Chen Tang stood coldly beside Lin Chuxue, waited for everyone to finish their piece, then spoke, “Are you all done talking?
If you’re done, then I have a suggestion…
Auntie, since it’s all about making sacrifices for the family, why don’t you spend the night with Young Master Zhao?
It’s not like you’d lose any parts, after all!”
Do unto others as they do unto you!
Zhang Lan’s face changed, “Chen Tang, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Chen Tang was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Feng had already suffered at his hands, and Zhang Lan didn’t dare to act rashly.
She shot Chen Tang a fierce glare and silently left Lin Chuxue’s side.
Chen Tang then turned to his uncle Zhang Yu, “Uncle, if auntie won’t go, how about letting aunty go?
I believe Young Master Zhao would be quite pleased!” As he spoke, Chen Tang glanced over at his aunt not far away.
Although the aunt was in her thirties or forties, she wore a super short skirt and black stockings, looking quite fashionable.
“Scoundrel!” Uncle Zhang Yu coldly snorted and left as well!
Second uncle, young auntie…
One by one, people started to leave, and finally, there was peace around Lin Chuxue.
Taking a step forward, Chen Tang looked coldly at everyone, “Hmph, wasn’t it all about making sacrifices for the family?
This is your idea of sacrifice, letting someone else go to bed for you, but when it’s your turn, you won’t.
Let me tell you, whoever dares to harbor designs on my wife, I will fight you to the death!”
Chen Tang’s voice was not loud, but the presence his words conveyed caused everyone present to pause.
This Chen Tang was a madman!
Seeing the matter couldn’t be pushed any further, the grandmother at the head of the table signaled Zhao Chengyi and hurriedly said, “Enough, it is also a kind gesture from Young Master Zhao!
Since Chu Xue is unwilling, let’s not force her.
If Chu Xue really can’t think of a solution, she will definitely seek Young Master Zhao’s help, won’t she?
Since everyone is here, let’s prepare for the meal!”
Grandmother’s words were watertight.
But still, her words favored Lin Feng and Zhao Chengyi, showing no consideration for Chen Tang and Lin Chuxue.
However, Chen Tang couldn’t care less about this; he didn’t need any recognition from the Lin Family Clan!
The only two people Chen Tang was grateful to during his years with the Lin Family were one, the late grandfather who took him in, Old Master Lin.
And the other, was Chen Tang’s wife, Lin Chuxue.
The reason Chen Tang had been willing to endure being looked down upon for so many years, obedient to Lin Chuxue, was not just because she was his wife, but also for an even more important reason.
Back when Lin Chuxue was just four years old, Chen Tang engaged in a life-and-death blood exchange with her.
Perhaps neither Lin Chuxue nor Old Master Lin had a profound recollection of the incident, but the blood exchange that Lin Chuxue did for Chen Tang actually saved his life from a catastrophic fate!
Having his good intentions frustrated by Chen Tang once again left Zhao Chengyi feeling extremely displeased.
He managed a strained smile towards his grandmother, saying, “Grandma, there’s no hurry.
I’ve come to offer birthday wishes to you and have also prepared a gift!
Bring it in!”
Following Zhao Chengyi’s words, several bodyguards promptly carried in a few large crates from outside the door.
The crates were opened in the hall, revealing coral over one meter tall and jadeite bangles of vivid green ice type…
Each item was worth at least several million.
“Grandma, please look.
These are just small tokens of my good will, please don’t refuse them!
If I can end up with Chu Xue in the future, I’ll definitely serve you with even more dedication!” Zhao Chengyi’s words were blunt, clearly making it sound like a business transaction.
The assets of Zhao’s Group amounted to tens of billions, so gifting several tens of millions’ worth of presents meant nothing to Zhao Chengyi.
However, he was determined to have Lin Chuxue at any cost.
The secret of Lin Chuxue’s bloodline was unknown to others, but Zhao Chengyi was well aware!
The secret hidden within her blood was not something that could be acquired for mere tens or hundreds of millions.
The items Zhao Chengyi brought in quickly piled up into a mountain by the table, and as she gazed at the heap of shimmering jade and coral, Grandma couldn’t help but beam with joy, “Oh, Young Master Zhao, you are too polite, giving such expensive gifts, I feel so embarrassed!”
The grandmother was now looking at Zhao Chengyi more and more favorably, wishing that he was her grandson-in-law.
Lin Chuxue sat next to Chen Tang, her chest trembling with anger, “This is too much.
You just gave 30 million worth of earrings, and grandma didn’t seem nearly as happy as now!”
Chen Tang gently patted the back of Lin Chuxue’s hand, saying, “It doesn’t matter, wife, we just do what we need to!
Let’s eat, and after we finish, we’ll go out and relax a bit.”
But just as Chen Tang was about to pick up his chopsticks, Zhao Chengyi once again brought the battle to him.
“Chen Tang…
huh, you think you’re so great?
See this?
A coral over one meter tall, have you ever seen one?
Can you afford one?
I’m really curious, what gift did you give Grandma?
Can you even bring yourself to present it?” Zhao Chengyi mocked him mercilessly.
All the people present fell silent because Chen Tang had just given a pair of Chicken Blood Stone Earrings worth 30 million, authenticated by Elder Gu himself!
It was unclear whether Zhao Chengyi’s pile of gifts was worth more than 30 million, but in terms of size, they certainly were much larger than Chen Tang’s gift.
Chen Tang put down his chopsticks, his brows furrowing as he was about to retort, when suddenly his phone rang.
He answered the call, and the person on the other end quickly said respectfully, “Young master, it’s me, Liu Tianxiong!
Today is your grandmother’s birthday, and I was worried that the gift might not suffice, so I had some more prepared.
They’re right outside the Lin Family Mansion now, should I let them come in?”
This Liu Tianxiong was indeed considerate.
Chen Tang glanced at Zhao Chengyi, pausing for a moment before saying, “Then let them come in!”
Although Chen Tang wanted to keep a low profile, sometimes, it was necessary to showcase one’s strength.
The kind are often bullied, and the meek are ridden!
Seeing that Chen Tang did not respond, Zhao Chengyi grew even more arrogant, “What’s the matter, did I hit a sore spot?
A waste picked up from a garbage heap who really thinks he’s something…
Let me tell you, Lin Chuxue will be mine sooner or later!
If you don’t want to suffer, you better quietly go get a divorce…”
Zhao Chengyi was still blathering when Chen Tang grabbed a chair next to him and, while walking toward the front, shouted, “Shut up!
Are they just a few presents?
Hmph, I didn’t even blink when I gave Grandma the Chicken Blood Stone Earrings worth 30 million.
You think I’m lacking in that?
All these gifts you brought, in my eyes, they’re all trash…”
Chen Tang moved to where Zhao Chengyi’s gifts were piled, raised the chair, and started smashing down on the heap of coral and jadeite…
