Chapter: 1

The luxurious Xiao family mansion, illuminated by a sea of lights.

Tonight is Xiao's family matriarch, Madam Xiao's, 70th birthday celebration.

A multitude of grandsons, granddaughters, and their spouses gather to present lavish gifts.

"'Grandma, I heard you love drinking tea. This piece of century-old Pu'er tea brick is worth fifty thousand, a gift for your birthday.'"

"'Grandma, I heard you believe in Buddhism. This jade Buddha figurine is carved by Andean jade, worth seventy thousand......'"

Madam Xiao looks at the various gifts with a warm smile, and the whole family is filled with joy.

At this moment, Madam Xiao's grandson-in-law, Ye Chen, suddenly speaks up: "'Grandma, can you lend me one hundred thousand? Li Aunt from the welfare center has developed uremic poisoning and needs money for medical treatment......'"

The entire Xiao family is shocked.

Everyone looks at Ye Chen with an incredulous gaze.

This son-in-law of ours, he's really got some big guts, hasn't he? Grandma just celebrated her birthday, and not only did he fail to prepare any gifts, but he actually had the nerve to ask Grandma for 1 million yuan?

Three years ago, when Grandpa was still alive, he somehow managed to find Leaf, who was penniless at the time, with no assets whatsoever. It's like he found a beggar on the street.

After they got married, Grandpa passed away, and since then, the whole family has been eager to get rid of him. But Leaf just goes about his business, unaffected by what others say or do. So he's stuck being our son-in-law.

Today, asking Grandma for money is a last resort.

When he was first taken in and saved by Li Auntie, who got hemodialysis and needed at least 1 million yuan to replace her kidneys, he was really desperate and had no other choice. He felt that today was Grandma's big birthday, and if she was in a good mood, she'd be willing to help.

But little did he know, Grandma was just about to burst into laughter when suddenly her expression changed.

She slammed the tea cup down on the floor and shouted, "What kind of scoundrel are you? Are you here to celebrate my birthday or ask for money?"

Leaf's wife, Shou Ren, rushed forward to explain to Grandma, saying, "Grandma, Leaf doesn't understand what's going on. Please don't be angry with him."

As you're saying, let's get him to move over to the side.

Just then, Xiu Ruan's cousin, Xiu Weiwei, sneered and said beside her: "Sister, look at what kind of trash you married! I'm only engaged to Yun Fei, we haven't even gotten married yet, but he gave my grandmother a jade Buddha statue. You're an old man who didn't bring any gifts, and then asks for money from my grandmother? What's the matter with you?"

"Exactly, Leaf Chen Brother, we're both grandchildren of the Xiu family. Your behavior is just too disappointing."

The man talking is actually Xiu Weiwei's fiancé, young master Yun Fei, a local big family.

Although Yun Fei is about to marry Xiu Weiwei, in his mind, Xiu Weiwei's appearance is far inferior to Leaf Chen's wife, Xiu Ruan, which is a difference of 10 million miles.

Xiu Ruan is famous throughout Jinling as a goddess, but seeing the goddess married this trash, Yun Fei felt very unhappy in his heart.

"This kind of trash should get out of our Xiu family as soon as possible!"

"Exactly! Our Xiu family's face has been lost because of this guy." JrNovels.com
