Lin Ruoshi was confused. On one side was her family, and on the other side was Ye Xuan. She did not know which one was right.
However, she felt in her heart that Ye Xuan would not lie to her.
To be able to give away a Jade Buddha that was worth 30 million, would Ye Xuan pretend to claim the rights over someone else's betrothal gifts?
"Grandpa, are you mistaken?" Lin Ruoshi looked at Lin Tianxiong and could not help but ask.
"Shut up!" Lin Tianxiong's expression was severe, "Bringing this man to our house already made our Lin family lose face. Why are you still pestering us? Please hurry up and take him away. Otherwise, if word gets out that you are having an affair with a mere security guard and even let him into our house, how are we going to stand the embarrassment caused?"
Lin Junsheng also said, "Eight tales of gold, eight hundred and eighty thousand in cash, a pair of Jade Scepter, a Heavenly Cauldron villa, and a McLaren supercar. Can a mere security guard like Ye Xuan afford all these expensive things?"
Lin Dongmei stood up at this time and pointed at Lin Ruoshi.
"Lin Ruoshi, do you have to be so shameless? You asked this mere security guard to come home and pretend to be the one who sent my betrothal gift. You must be crazy, right?"
Lin Ruoshi's face turned pale. She wanted to defend herself, but Lin Dongmei did not give her a chance at all.
Lin Hai and his wife, who walked in behind her, also had ugly expressions.
Lin Dongmei looked at Ye Xuan again. "And you, you security guard, you're shameless. Why don't you take a p*ss and realize what kind of person you are? Can you afford such an expensive betrothal gift?"
Ye Xuan frowned, feeling very angry in his heart.
The Lin family looked down on him, thinking that he was a useless person who beat Gao Longfei. He could understand that he would be finished sooner or later because he had already learned from the example of Lin Fei and his wife.
But, the Lin family mistook his betrothal gift to be sent over by someone called Ye Mingyuan? This made him very unhappy.
Lin Dongmei spoke rudely to Lin Ruoshi, making his gaze even colder.
But right at this moment, before Ye Xuan could act up, the sound of brakes suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
It came from a white BMW. When Lin Dongmei saw it, she hurriedly shouted, "It's Mingyuan!"
As she said this, she ran out with an excited expression.
"Let's go and give him a warm welcome!" Lin Tianxiong laughed loudly, and he had entirely forgotten about Ye Xuan. He waved his hand and led his family out of the door.
The rest of the Lin family hurriedly followed him out. Ye Mingyuan sent a betrothal gift worth tens of millions, so he had to be appropriately welcomed.
Only Lin Ruoshi's family of three stood in the courtyard with an unsightly expression against Ye Xuan.
Lin Ruoshi walked over and whispered to Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, what's going on?"
Lin Hai could not help but ask, "Ye Xuan, has there been a mistake?"
Ye Xuan said, "Yes, it's a mistake. The mistake is that I asked someone to send this betrothal gift on my behalf."
Zhao Shufen, standing beside Lin Hai, could not help but mutter, "How can you prove that? I don't think your words are reliable."
Lin Hai hurriedly glared at Zhao Shufen and said, "Ye Mingyuan is here. Let's take a look too. We'll know if there's a mistake."
"Yes, dad is right. Ye Xuan, let's go out and take a look." Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan's arm and walked out.
Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen also followed him out of the courtyard house. They saw a refined man in a white Armani suit standing beside the BMW. He greeted the Lin family members and was very friendly. They seemed to have already mingled together.
This person was Lin Dongmei's boyfriend, Ye Mingyuan.
When Lin Ruoshi and the others came out, they just happened to hear Lin Tianxiong say to Ye Mingyuan, "Mingyuan, the betrothal gifts that your family sent are generous. A McLaren and a Heavenly Cauldron villa! I'm relieved that Dongmei can find a boyfriend like you."
Ye Mingyuan was stunned. The betrothal gifts prepared by his father had already arrived? Plus, his father had given away a McLaren and even a Heavenly Cauldron villa? This was a little too generous.
"Mingyuan, why aren't you answering? Grandfather is talking to you," Lin Dongmei saw that Ye Mingyuan was in a daze and had a bad premonition in her heart, so she hurriedly whispered.
Only then did Ye Mingyuan react. He thought to himself that his father had previously said it was a surprise for him. It seemed that his father had spent a lot of money to prepare his betrothal gift.
However, this gift was a little too generous. His heart ached for it. Why would his family give such an expensive gift to the Lin family? A betrothal gift worth three to five million yuan was more than enough for the Lin family's status.
However, since it had already been delivered, Ye Mingyuan had no choice. He couldn't possibly ask his father to retract the gifts.
Sighing in his heart, Ye Mingyuan had to smile on the surface as he said to Lin Tianxiong, "Grandpa Lin, my father prepared the betrothal gift for me. He said it was a surprise and did not ask for my opinion. I was worried that he did not prepare it well. Now, it seems that it has exceeded your expectations."
When Lin Dongmei heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Immediately, she happily leaned over and kissed Ye Mingyuan on the cheek.
Lin Tianxiong also said happily, "Very good. This betrothal gift is a big one. Your father attaches great importance to the marriage alliance with our Lin family. I'm thrilled."
Ye Mingyuan appeared polite on the surface, but his heart was twitching. The McLaren supercar was a car that he had always wanted. His father did not even buy it for him, but now, he bought it as a betrothal gift and sent it to the Lin family?
The group of people was chatting and laughing. No one paid any attention to Lin Ruoshi and the others who stood by the door. Then, they walked into the courtyard house.
"It is indeed Ye Mingyuan's betrothal gift. We're so embarrassed. Let's go home quickly." Zhao Shufen felt that her old face was flustered.
Lin Hai's face was dark. "Since we're here, how can we leave without saying goodbye? Let's go in and sit for a while before we leave."
With that, Lin Hai did not say anything else. He braced himself and turned around to enter the courtyard house.
Zhao Shufen glanced at Ye Xuan with an unsightly expression, then walked in as well.
"Ye Xuan." Lin Ruoshi was at a loss.
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi. "President Lin, who do you think gave you the betrothal gift?"
Lin Ruoshi said, "Ye Xuan, I believe you in my heart. But now, Ye Mingyuan admitted that he was the one who prepared the betrothal gift. What's going on?"
Ye Xuan pursed his lips. "Let them gloat for a few minutes first. Very soon, they will lose face."
Being looked down upon by the Lin family and questioned about his betrothal gifts, Ye Xuan was already very displeased. Ye Xuan was even angrier now that Ye Mingyuan admitted that he gave the betrothal gifts.
He had asked Wu Hongniang to prepare the gifts and specially arranged for them to be sent to the Lin family's courtyard house. The purpose was to elevate Lin Ruoshi's status within her family. But now, Ye Xuan's goal has not been achieved. Instead, he had become a laughingstock.
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.
"You'll know in a while. Ruoshi, go in and accompany your parents. I'll smoke outside," Ye Xuan said.
"Okay." Lin Ruoshi walked into the courtyard house with a heavy heart.
Ye Xuan did not have the habit of smoking. He stood outside the courtyard house and waited for Lin Ruoshi to walk in. Then he took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang, "Who is the person in charge of sending the betrothal gifts to the Lin family? Tell him to come here right away. Others improperly recognized the betrothal gifts I sent. The betrothal gifts were given without leaving a name? He can't even handle such a small matter!"
On the other side of the phone, Wu Hongniang realized that her master was angry and was immediately shocked. She hurriedly said, "Master, please don't be angry. I'll make the arrangements right away."
Ye Xuan did not say anything else. He directly hung up the phone and then turned around and walked into the courtyard house.
As soon as he entered, he saw the Lin family had placed all the betrothal gifts in the middle of the courtyard. Lin Dongmei opened all the boxes. She held the Jade Scepter in one hand and a big piece of gold in the other, showing off.
"See? This Jade Scepter weighs more than two kilograms!"
"This piece of gold is massive. In the future, when I go to the gold store, I'll turn it into a necklace and give Mingyuan's future baby and me a gold lock that weighs heavily!"
Everyone was envious, especially Lin Ruoshi. She wished that she was in Lin Dongmei's shoes.
