Chapter 185 Birthday Celebration
In Xia Qingzhu's eyes, she would be very relieved as long as Ye Fan worked honestly and was an ordinary person with some ambition!
But what was the result?
Ye Fan was truly a hopeless case!
"Wife, thank you."
Ye Fan gave Xia Qingzhu a faint smile.
Xia Qingzhu looked very unhappy, glared at Ye Fan, and said displeasedly, "I just don't want to embarrass Grandpa, and don't call me wife. I never agreed to be your wife!"
After saying this, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at him again.
Upon hearing Xia Qingzhu's words, Ye Fan didn't take them too much to heart.
He had been recuperating for the past few years.
Now that all his strength had recovered, it was time to make a name for himself!
He would definitely make Xia Qingzhu understand what kind of person he really was!
Jiang Chenfeng snuck closer and heard the conversation of Ye Fan's family.
[Actually, Xia Qingzhu just hopes this guy will go out and find something to do. Even if he just pretended to have some ambition, she wouldn't be this angry!]
[But what about this guy? He insists on being a kept man at home, taking the Xia family's resources for granted. If the couple doesn't scold you, who would they scold?]
[Xia Qingzhu's demands are really not high. She is beautiful with a perfect figure; any man she finds would be a hundred times better than you, Ye Fan, and she wouldn't have to endure ridicule and cold looks!]
[Does this guy know how much humiliation and cold looks Xia Qingzhu has endured these past few years because he is a kept man at home?]
[Originally, all of this could have been avoided. After all, a man becoming a Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family is quite common, but a Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family hiding at home and being a kept man is not a common thing.]
[If only Xia Qingzhu had found a man of equal social status, she wouldn't have to suffer these humiliations! Unfortunately, this woman is a bit too filial. Even though the Old Madam Xia has been dead for so many years, she could have completely abandoned Ye Fan, but she still couldn't bring herself to do it.]
Jiang Chenfeng shook his head secretly, his thoughts active, and he silently complained.
Meanwhile, the frustrated Xia Qingzhu suddenly heard a voice in her mind, causing her expression to change slightly.
She immediately looked around, wanting to see who exactly was saying such things right in front of her.
But she searched for a long time, and by the time the voice in her mind disappeared, she still couldn't find who was talking.
Could it be an auditory hallucination?
Impossible!
That voice was too real!
It absolutely couldn't be an auditory hallucination.
But why did the other person know her so well?
And what they said was completely accurate!
Actually, her demands were really not high; as long as Ye Fan showed some ambition, she would be willing to accept him.
After all, this was an engagement directed by her grandmother.
For her grandmother's sake, Xia Qingzhu could try to live the rest of her life well with him.
But what was the result?
She couldn't see a shred of ambition in Ye Fan at all.
This guy would rather be insulted to his face and called a good-for-nothing kept man.
He still wouldn't go out to find a suitable job to earn money!
Even she had no way to deal with such a person!
Plus, since Ye Fan was the marriage arrangement designated by her grandmother, Xia Qingzhu didn't want to go against her grandmother's dying wish.
Jiang Chenfeng had already left Xia Qingzhu's family and walked to the place where birthday gifts were piled up.
On one of the tables, he saw a gift box with Xia Qingzhu's name written on it.
According to the original plot, Xia Qingzhu had prepared a hundred-year-old ginseng as a birthday gift for her grandfather's eightieth birthday.
But this gift had already been secretly swapped by Ye Fan, replaced with a five-hundred-year-old top-grade red ginseng!
The value of this top-grade red ginseng alone already exceeded one hundred million!
When everyone started giving birthday gifts to her grandfather, he could use this top-grade red ginseng to show off and slap faces.
Jiang Chenfeng quietly took the gift box and went into the restroom.
After opening the gift box, there was indeed a blood-red ginseng inside, and its age was indeed over five hundred years.
This was what Ye Fan had obtained on Pig Head Mountain.
As the male protagonist carrying the protagonists halo, it was only natural that Ye Fan could pick such a precious treasure.
If it were an ordinary person, even if they could survive falling off a cliff, they wouldn't be able to encounter this level of treasure.
He used the five-hundred-year-old top-grade red ginseng to replace the hundred-year-old ginseng that Xia Qingzhu's family had spent all their savings to buy.
When Xia Qingzhu's family found out that the gift they gave had turned into a five-hundred-year-old top-grade red ginseng, they would definitely be happy and excited!
By then, those who looked down on their family would all get their faces slapped!
"I can't let you succeed in showing off!"
Jiang Chenfeng took out the laxative he had prepared just in case and injected it into the top with a small syringe.
After injecting all the strong laxative into the top-grade red ginseng, Jiang Chenfeng carefully put the top-grade red ginseng back into the gift box.
Now, once this top-grade red ginseng was eaten, it would definitely make the person who ate it suffer from a prolapsed anus due to diarrhea!
Jiang Chenfeng returned the gift box exactly as it was and placed it back on the table.
After finishing these things, Jiang Chenfeng returned to his seat and happily drank tea.
Actually, he still had some regrets!
He should have just killed Ye Fan last time, and now he wouldn't have to sneak around doing this kind of thing.
But he thought about it again.
Even if he wanted to kill Ye Fan, it probably wouldn't be such an easy thing.
Perhaps the moment he had the intention to kill, it would attract an even more terrifying expert to step in and save Ye Fan.
If killing the protagonist was that simple, how could Lin Tian have survived until now without dying?
Lin Tian was like an unkillable cockroach; even after suffering fatal blows, he still had a breath left.
Now, how could the even more powerful new protagonist, Ye Fan, be so easily killed?
Unless he could blast Ye Fan into meat paste, it would be difficult to completely kill him!
Seeing that Jiang Chenfeng was in a good mood, Yue Tianhao asked curiously, "Young Master Jiang, you're in a good mood? Did you encounter something happy?"
"It's because there's a good show to watch next!"
"A good show?"
"Just watch! It's about to start!"
Jiang Chenfeng didn't explain further.
Just at this moment.
Old Master Xia walked out wearing a Tang suit, looking like a birthday star, and sat in the main seat.
A group of younger generations immediately went up to give gifts, kneeling on the ground to wish the Old Master a happy birthday.
When they gave their birthday gifts and said some auspicious words, Old Master Xia also returned them a big red envelope with a smile on his face.
Old Master Xia's eldest son presented a painting worth ten million, which caused a sensation in the audience.
Even Old Master Xia was very surprised and quickly helped his eldest son up.
After the direct descendants of the Xia family presented their gifts, an outsider also walked up with a gift.
Seeing this young man giving the gift, Jiang Chenfeng clicked his tongue and shook his head, muttering, "The eldest young master of the Luo family, Luo Yunsong."
