Jiang Zhong, Jingdong Street.
A young man dressed in cheap clothes, holding a gift box and humming an unknown song, walked along the road.
Suddenly, three men in suits and sunglasses stopped the young man.
"After following me for so long, you're finally willing to appear?"
The young man was not surprised by their appearance. It was as if he had known about their presence all along.
"Young Master…"
"There are too many people here. Let's talk over there."
The man waved his hand and walked into an empty alley.
The three strong men looked at each other and followed silently.
"Young Master, something has happened to the family. We urgently need you to return and take charge," a burly man said impatiently.
"Go back? Go back where? My home is in Jiang Zhong, right here! Don't talk to me about my family. I don't have a family. I'm just an orphan."
"Young Master, the situation in the capital is really serious. Please hurry back to the Ye family."
"Oh? What does that have to do with me? Ever since that old lady chased me out of the family, I'm no longer a member of the Ye family. You want me to go back now? Don't even think about it.
What do you mean something has happened to the family? It is just my useless second brother who has caused trouble. Can the family not function without my glib-tongued second brother, who only knows how to indulge in wine and spirits?
Ever since I was young, the Old Madam has always favored Second Brother. In order to let Second Brother rise to power, she didn't hesitate to let Eldest Brother into the army, where there's still no news of him even now. She then chased me out of the house. Now that my Second Brother is in trouble, you want me to go back? Don't think about it anymore, you guys can go back."
With that said, the young man was about to leave.
"I'm sorry, Third Young Master. The order from above is to bring you back. I can't go against it. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
One of the burly men raised his fist and charged towards the young man.
Meanwhile, the young man only turned his body slightly to dodge the punch.
Then, he grabbed the burly man's hand and threw him over his shoulder.
"Stop bothering me. You're not my match."
After saying that, the young man walked out of the alley, leaving behind the few burly men.
The young man was called Ye Feng and he was a famous person in Jiang Zhong City, but his reputation was not good.
He was known as Jiang Zhong's number one gigolo.
Ye Feng was originally the Third Young Master of the capital's Ye family. Four years ago, he was chased out of the Ye family and was stranded in Jiang Zhong.
After meeting the Xu family's previous Old Master by accident in Jiang Zhong, the previous Old Master had indirectly found out about Ye Feng's identity and resolutely married his great-granddaughter to Ye Feng.
Hence, Ye Feng entered the Xu family under the guise of marrying into the Xu family, and even held a grand wedding that was one of the best in Jiang Zhong.
After marrying into the Xu family, Ye Feng had indeed been doing nothing but living off a woman. Hence, Ye Feng had endured four years of insults.
In the past four years, both inside and outside the Xu family, the entire business world of Jiang Zhong, and even some ordinary people were discussing him.
In the past four years, he had gone through hardships that his family would never imagine.
Now that his second brother was in trouble, the Ye family finally thought of him. The audacity to try and make him clean up the mess now!
Right now, Ye Feng only wanted to be a live-in son-in-law and live off his wife. What did the Ye family have to do with him?
As he was thinking, Ye Feng had already reached the entrance of the Xu family villa.
At the entrance of the villa, a graceful and beautiful figure was looking around, it was as if she were waiting for someone.
This was Ye Feng's wife, Xu Yaqing.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know that it's Grandfather's birthday today? Why are you here so late?"
Xu Yaqing questioned Ye Feng coldly.
"I ran into some things on the way and got delayed."
"What can happen to you? Aren't you just a freeloader? Forget it, go in."
Ye Feng didn't deny it, because he was indeed living off a woman.
The more Xu Yaqing walked, the more aggrieved she felt. Why did her great-grandfather insist that she marry this man? He even repeatedly told her to treat him well.
Xu Yaqing really didn't understand why her great-grandfather, who had always doted on her, would let her be humiliated for four years.
Ye Feng noticed that Xu Yaqing's emotions weren't right and walked in.
"If you feel wronged, you can ask for a divorce. If you want a divorce, I'll definitely agree."
"I won't divorce you. Because Great-Grandpa asked me to marry you, I won't divorce you," Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng and said firmly.
After saying that, she walked away.
Ye Feng could only sigh, wondering if he should make some changes.
In the living room of the Xu family villa.
The Xu family was a top family among the second-rate families in Jiang Zhong. They were just short of a chance to enter the level of a first-rate family and become a wealthy family.
Today was Old Master Xu's birthday. Apart from the Xu family's relatives, many people who were in good standing with the Xu family also came.
"What is Xu Yaqing doing? Everyone else is here, why isn't she here yet? Is she looking down on Grandpa?"
At this moment, the juniors of the Xu family were gathered together, discussing Xu Yaqing.
The person who spoke was Xu Yaqing's cousin, Xu Tian.
"It's because she's too embarrassed to come, right? She still has the nerve to come after marrying that trash?"
Xu Yanyan, Xu Yaqing's other cousin, also spoke up.
"Sorry I'm late," Xu Yaqing, who they were slandering, walked in from behind them and said lightly.
"Yaqing, why are you so late? Did you go pick a gift for Grandfather?"
Xu Tian immediately hid his previous expressions.
"What gift did you prepare? Sister Yaqing, since it was carefully prepared, it's surely better than ours, right? Quickly bring it over for us to see."
Xu Tian and Xu Yanyan spoke one after another, all of their words directed at Xu Yaqing.
Xu Yaqing's expression was ugly. She ignored them and found a place to sit down.
However, Xu Tian didn't give up. He pointed at the gift box in Ye Feng's hand and loudly said, "Yaqing, your gift can't be that, right?!"
"Everyone, come and take a look. This useless son-in-law prepared a gift for Grandfather. What kind of cheap product is this?"
"That's right! Grandpa, it's not right for this grandson-in-law to prepare such a sloppy gift for your 80th birthday."
The siblings echoed each other and gathered everyone around them.
"Is this the useless son-in-law of the Xu family? So we have met at last. He's really ordinary."
"This young man really doesn't know his manners. That's all he prepared for his grandfather's birthday?"
The people around them were discussing it excitedly.
"Ye Feng, do you dare to tell me which dollar shop you bought this from?"
Xu Tian continued his performance.
"No, I bought it at a gift shop. Why?"
Ye Feng didn't care at all about this cousin's targeting.
"What else? Can that be called a gift? Look at mine. This is Wang Xi's painting. It's an antique. I spent over a million to buy it for Grandpa."
Xu Tian showed off his gift.
Ye Feng glanced at it indifferently.
He looked up at Xu Tian and said, "Your painting is fake."
