Chapter 92
Lin Yuzhen felt utterly humiliated. From the very beginning, she never should have chosen this ugly fool as a son-in-law. It was one thing to be ugly, but how could his brain be so useless too?
"Ye Fengyun, are you out of your mind? They are a wealthy family. Why on earth would they send gifts to your family?"
"Exactly. What makes you think you deserve any face here? Do you really have the standing to make a wealthy family send you gifts?"
In an instant, Ye Fengyun became the target of the entire Tang family.
Yet he paid them no mind and said, "Enough nonsense. Keep the gifts for us for now, but remember not to use them recklessly. When the time comes and you have to return them, don't say you can't come up with them."
"Heh. Idiot."
Tang Lei cast him a disdainful glance.
Tang Yilin said proudly, "What right do you have to receive gifts from a wealthy family? Those gifts are obviously for us. Don't forget, the reason Ling Bingbing is coming to Yunchuan City for her concert this time is because of my husband’s connections!"
Ye Fengyun laughed. "Your husband has connections? My ass."
"What did you say?" Tang Yilin flew into a rage. "Ye Fengyun, you useless piece of trash. Just because you can sit at the same table with us doesn't mean you're in the same class as us. If not for the fact that you count as half a member of the Tang family, you'd only be fit to eat with the dogs!"
Ye Fengyun shot back, "Your husband spends all day doing nothing but chasing women. If he can still build connections like that, then those connections must not be all that clean."
"You—"
"Ye Fengyun, shut up!"
Tang Yilin's father, Tang Dajiang, stood up and barked at Ye Fengyun, "What qualifications do you have to speak to us like that? You're an ugly live-in son-in-law, and that alone makes you unworthy. A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. No matter how much you blow hot air with that mouth of yours, you'll always be a good-for-nothing!"
The old matriarch suddenly slammed her hand on the table and asked with imposing authority, "Do you all think I'm dead?"
Everyone hurriedly fell silent.
"Tonight is a family gathering, not a family debate!"
Without raising her voice, the old matriarch commanded such presence that everyone in the room quieted down. Only Ye Fengyun kept his head down, eating as he swept through the dishes, clearing away the food like a storm.
Tang Yilin sneered inwardly at the sight: He looks like he hasn't been full in several lifetimes. What a bumpkin.
Under the old matriarch's authority, the atmosphere became harmonious again, but the gathering had clearly changed in character. No one cared about Tang Shihan's wedding anymore; instead, they all began currying favor with Tang Yilin's family. Some of the elders even lowered themselves to toast Tang Yilin.
After dinner, Tang Shihan discussed tomorrow's wedding with Ye Fengyun, who said that all the invitations had already been sent out.
Tang Yilin happened to overhear them and mocked with deliberate sarcasm, "Oh? Still discussing it? Is there even any need to discuss it now?"
"Why do you say that?" Tang Shihan looked at her in confusion.
Tang Yilin sneered, "What do you mean why? There won't be many people attending your wedding tomorrow. Blame this ugly fool for overestimating himself and setting the wedding on the same day as ours."
Ye Fengyun shot back, "I'm afraid the ones overestimating themselves are you people. Don't laugh too early, or you'll be crying miserably tomorrow."
"Hmph, keep pretending to be tough. By tomorrow, the whole city of Yunchuan will be laughing at you. The most obscure wedding in history, hahaha!"
With a loud laugh, Tang Yilin left.
Tang Dahai grew even angrier and scolded Ye Fengyun, "If you have nothing to say, then keep your mouth shut! It's one thing to be worthless, but do you have to be so infuriating too?"
Ye Fengyun asked back, "So it's right to just stand there and let people hit you without fighting back and curse you without saying a word?"
"What did you just say? Who are you talking to?"
Tang Dahai was nearly exploding with rage. This useless live-in son-in-law actually dared to talk back to him?
Ye Fengyun replied, "Is there anyone else here?"
"You get a divorce! Right now! The wedding tomorrow doesn't need to happen either. You're not worthy of marrying my daughter!"
Tang Dahai was so furious he was practically clawing at the air.
Tang Shihan shot Ye Fengyun a reproachful glance, then quickly joined her mother, Lin Yuzhen, in soothing Tang Dahai.
