"Alright, alright, get on the cart quickly!" Chen Shimei glanced at Lin Yuan with a sidelong eye, feeling that his old father was really embarrassing him. If it weren't for him being the only son in the family, he truly wouldn't want to bring them to Yecheng.
Seeing that his son not only didn't listen and kowtow but also interrupted him with a strong tone, Old Chen couldn't help feeling both angry and annoyed. He shook his arm vigorously, breaking free from Aunt Chen's grasp, and snorted, "Did you kowtow when I told you to? Huh? Don't think you can get cocky just because you've now climbed up to marrying the daughter of Master Magistrate. I'm telling you, if it weren't for your father, you would have died in that big fire by now! Poor me, old man, for having eyes, and yet I've saved an ingrate like a white-eyed wolf! Had I known it would be like this, I should have let you burn to death in that fire!"
