Chu Wenting said without hesitation, "I want to repay grandpa for his kindness in raising me."
Yes, Chu Wenting has been thinking about how to repay Chu Shixiong since she was sensible. Although the Chu family was harsh and mean to him, in her heart, her grandfather always treated him as his own granddaughter.
She always believed that she owed the Chu family all these years of eating and drinking in the Chu family. Even if Chu Wenyu and others called her a bastard, she didn't care. As long as her grandfather was happy, she could do anything.
Chu Wenting will always be the most innocent girl, without any scheming and not knowing how to hurt others.
Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "Your idea is good, because your heart is clear and clean, without any debris, but some people are different. Everyone has their own purpose in life."
"You are doing it to repay your kindness, and this Hong Tianming is not doing it for money, nor for women, nor for benefits. It seems that he is just giving. But when all this continues to confuse you, he may have a bigger purpose."
"People's hearts are sinister. Everyone is planning their own future, and Hong Tianming's future may be something that none of you can even imagine. Ambition can make a person hide many things."
"Ambition, Brother Ye, are you saying that Brother Hong has a bigger conspiracy?"
Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "You'll understand when you wait and see."
Ye Lingtian did not tell the other party what Hong Tianming wanted to get, but from the conversation just now, he was sure that Hong Tianming's scheming was unmatched by anyone in the Chu family.
As the god-king who rules the desert, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he has seen too many people, and many enemy generals are plotting constantly, but in the end they died under his sword.
What does Hong Tianming mean?
"Brother Ye, I still don't believe what you said. Grandpa originally asked me to marry Brother Hong. He thought he was steady and approachable, and worthy of being entrusted to him for life."
Ye Lingtian smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I have become the third party."
Chu Wenting was speechless for a while, I am your wife now, how could you say this?
At this time, everyone in the hall had quieted down. After Chu Shixiong came on stage, he said a few polite words, and then his nephew began to celebrate his birthday.
Seeing everyone starting to celebrate their birthday, Chu Wenting pulled Ye Lingtian and said, "Let's go, let's go too."
Jiang Yingjie, who was on the side, kept staring at Ye Lingtian. When he saw that they were coming, he stepped forward and pulled Chu Wenyu and said, "Wenyu, that guy is coming soon. Aren't you going to drive him out of the Chu family? The opportunity has come."
"
Chu Wenyu nodded and said, "I don't know what method you use, but you must be careful. Today is grandpa's birthday, so you can't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Jiang Yingjie took out his birthday gift, stepped forward and shouted, "I am Jiang Yingjie of the Jiang family. I came here specifically to wish Mr. Chu his birthday today."
Jiang Yingjie speaks neither humble nor arrogantly, and many people here have business dealings with the Jiang family. The most important thing is that Jiang Yingjie is likely to become the next successor of the Jiang family.
Many people kept applauding in order to please each other.
"Good nephew, you don't have to be polite!" Chu Shixiong said happily
What excited him was seeing Chu Wenting walking over with Ye Lingtian supported.
Jiang Yingjie took out a wooden box and said to the old man, "This is an heirloom of our Jiang family. I will personally give it to the old man today."
"Heirloom, how is it possible..."
When the wooden box was opened, a crystal clear and bright jade bead appeared inside. Everyone gathered around to watch and exclaimed in surprise.
"Could this be the legendary Tianshan Snow Pearl?"
"Tianshan Snow Pearl, what is this?"
"It is said that this Tianshan Snow Bead is an ancient thing and has been enshrined in the Tianshan World Tianling Pagoda. Moreover, it has a kind of spiritual energy. If worn for a long time, it can prolong life and rejuvenate youth. This is a priceless treasure."
"I really didn't expect that the Jiang family would have such a treasure, and they would give it directly to the old man. It seems like this is a betrothal gift to the Chu family."
Outsiders have already known about the marriage between the Chu family and the Jiang family, but they didn't expect to bring it up on the old man's birthday. Is this just adding to the happiness?
Everyone praised Jiang Yingjie so much that he couldn't find anything to do with him. The other party was full of pride, "Uncle Wang has a good eye, this is Tianshan Snow Pearl. Grandpa was lucky enough to go to Tianshan back then and was very destined to meet the master of Tianling Pagoda.
So I gave him snow beads as a gift and it became a family heirloom of the Jiang family."
Chu Gang was so excited that he almost shouted, "Yingjie is not an easy boy. He has brought out all the Jiang family's heirlooms. It seems that the marriage will be successful soon."
Diao Yue'e even smiled brightly, "Yes, this child has a heart, and he is a talented person. He can be regarded as a dragon among men. We Wenyu will enjoy happiness in the future."
Although Chu Shixiong's face was full of smiles, he didn't want to marry the Jiang family at all. The old man saw clearly that the other party must have an ulterior secret in giving such an expensive gift.
The old man is even more aware of the ambitions of the Jiang family. Others may not understand the Jiang family, but Chu Shixiong knows how the Jiang family became a first-class family in the north of the city. In the 1980s, they relied on opportunism, deception and abduction to get where they are today.
When Jiang Yingjie saw that Chu Shixiong didn't answer, he glanced at Ye Lingtian, who was being supported by Chu Wenting and was about to take a seat.
"Compared to this, this one is the new son-in-law of the Chu family, right?"
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Ye Lingtian. Chu Shixiong frowned and said, "Yes, I have betrothed my granddaughter Chu Wenting to Mr. Ye."
Hearing this, Jiang Yingjie instantly became energetic, and his plan finally started, "It seems that he is really the son-in-law of the Chu family. In this case, he must have prepared a more substantial gift than this son-in-law who came to visit. Why don't you show it out?
look."
Chu Shixiong was instantly unhappy. You are such a big fool. You asked a generation of military kings to give me gifts. Wouldn't this cost my life?
If he hadn't ordered General Gu to send troops to rescue the five of us, how would the Chu family be today?
He now understood this guy's trick.
Chu Gang, who was on the side, could not tell the difference between his facial features and Jiang Yingjie's intentions. "Yes, Ye Lingtian, you are the son-in-law of the Chu family. How about you take out the gift and show it to everyone?"
Diao Yue'e was so excited that she almost screamed. She finally seized the opportunity and asked you to get out of the Chu family today.
"Ye Lingtian, the old man has taken great care of you. Today is his sixtieth birthday. Although your gift is not as good as the Tianshan Snow Pearl, you can't come empty-handed. You are the Chu family's uncle, and you can't lose the Chu family's face."
Chu Wenhao added with jealousy, "It's just that Jiang Yingjie has not yet become the son-in-law of the Chu family, so he is giving such an expensive gift. You are a real son-in-law-to-be, so you can't lower the price."
Under their temptation, Ye Lingtian didn't respond at all, but Chu Wenting became anxious for a while. She had not planned to come over today, nor had she prepared a gift. Now it was over. She didn't care, but what would Brother Ye do?
Ye Lingtian looked at the mocking gazes of everyone, pointed at the wooden box and asked, "Do you think these are Tianshan Snow Beads?"
Jiang Yingjie was stunned and looked a little panicked, "Of course, this is an heirloom of my Jiang family, how could there be anything wrong with it?"
Ye Lingtian said bluntly, "Fake."
In one sentence, these people almost choked to death. What the hell, it's fake. You talk like farts.
"What are you talking about? It's a lie. Are you out of your mind? You didn't even look at it and you dared to talk nonsense."
Ye Lingtian certainly has a reason for saying this, because he knows who owns the real Tianshan Snow Pearl, and he has seen it with his own eyes.
Another point is that it is impossible for a small family in the north of the city to own such a valuable thing.
"Ye Lingtian, are you too jealous? It's okay if you're not. Why slander others? It's really embarrassing."
Ye Lingtian looked at the other party coldly. If it hadn't been for Chu Shixiong's sixtieth birthday, he might have taken action.
"Real Tianshan snow beads not only have aura hidden inside, but also have no flaws on the outside. Through the sunlight, there is a thick layer of fog inside. Do you have this?"
Everyone was doubtful, and they still didn't believe Ye Lingtian's words, "Don't mess around, this thing is definitely true."
Chu Gang, who was on the side, was worried. He stepped forward, slowly picked up the snow beads, and looked around. He found that not only were there many patterns on the outside, but he could not see clearly inside.
"You said this is false, how can you prove it?" Chu Gang asked worriedly.
Ye Lingtian said unceremoniously, "Smash it."
Chu Wenyu was dumbfounded for a moment. Smash it? Are you mentally ill?
"Ye, are you crippled and mentally disabled? If you smash it, this is a priceless treasure. You can't afford to pay for it in this life."
Chu Wenhao yelled, "You loser, who do you think you are? If grandpa hadn't taken you in, you might have died long ago. You are bringing shame on the Chu family."
"Shut up." Chu Shixiong roared.
"Master Jiang, I don't care if this thing is real or not, you should just take it back. I don't need it."
"Grandpa Chu, these Tianshan snow beads are real, you have to believe me..."
Chu Shixiong had already seen the other party's intentions, waved his hand and said, "Regardless of whether it is true or false, you should take it back. Our Chu family will not accept such expensive gifts."
Hong Tianming did not dare to say anything. The current Hong family did not dare to compete with the Chu family. He also thought that after becoming the son-in-law of the Chu family, he would lead the Hong family to become a first-class family, and then slowly erode the resources of the Chu family.
The Chu family is now in decline. Chu Shixiong is old. Sooner or later, the Chu family will be in the hands of Chu Gang. Chu Gang is a man he knows very well. He is submissive and has no responsibility, and his son Chu Wenhao is even more so.
A veritable playboy, if he became the son-in-law of the Chu family, he would be more than capable of dealing with these people.
Seeing that her future husband had nothing to say, Chu Wenyu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, it's okay not to accept the gift, but this loser must apologize to Jiang Yingjie. Why does he say that Xue Zhu is fake?"
Chu Wenhao helped, "Even now, he is considered half of the Chu family. If this matter spreads, it will affect the reputation of the Chu family. I must apologize to Jiang Yingjie and kneel down to apologize."
Chu Shixiong can't wait to rush down and beat this unscrupulous descendant to death, and make the God King of the Desert kneel down before this kid. You are too courageous. Once the God King becomes angry, even if you die, the Chu family may be exterminated. Mobile phone users please
