Chapter 93

She had already contacted Jiang Che, who was on his way to the Zhou family. She was eager to give a hard slap in the face to those relatives who had mocked her!

The three of them left the villa chatting and laughing and got into Zhou Dewei’s Audi. Just as they were about to leave, they heard Xiao Fan shouting.

“Darling, wait for me!” Xiao Fan, carrying something unknown, hurried after them, looking somewhat excited.

“Dad, don’t bother with him, let’s go.” Zhou Lingxi frowned and urged Zhou Dewei to drive quickly.

Zhou Dewei didn’t dawdle, sharing the same disdain for Xiao Fan, the useless son-in-law, and saw no need to show him any courtesy.

He stepped on the gas and sped away.

Watching the Audi drive away, Xiao Fan sighed and had to take a taxi to follow them from a distance.

…………

Zhou Family Courtyard.

Today the Zhou family was particularly lively, filled with laughter and chatter, with many from other families coming to wish the old lady a happy birthday.

When Zhou Lingxi and her parents arrived, the banquet was about to begin. She scanned the crowd but didn’t find Jiang Che, feeling a bit disappointed. Was he not coming today?

After the guests were seated, a butler beside the old lady coughed twice and announced loudly.

“Now begins the gift-giving session…”

“Lin family presents a pair of top-quality jade Ruyi…”

“Wang family presents a pair of jade bracelets…”

“Deng family presents a ‘Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains’ painting…”

…………

“Zhou family’s son-in-law Xiao Fan presents a chamber pot…” The butler, reading the list, suddenly froze, baffled by the gift list in his hand. A chamber pot for the old lady’s grand birthday??

“Presenting a chamber pot, what the heck, I’m dying of laughter…”

“Who is this Xiao Fan? He’s a real genius…”

“I know, he’s Zhou Lingxi’s husband, the Zhou family’s live-in son-in-law.”

“I heard that after he entered the Zhou family, he did nothing but stay at home cooking.”

“A bunch of philistines, what do you know! This is a chamber pot used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang!” Hearing the murmurs around, Xiao Fan stepped out of the crowd, scanning the guests with a disdainful look.

After a brief silence, the room erupted in laughter again.

“I’m dying hahaha… even claiming it’s Qin Shi Huang’s chamber pot.”

“My painting is one personally drawn by Qin Shi Huang then…”

“Enough, Xiao Fan, what are you doing!” Zhou Lingxi walked over to Xiao Fan and slapped him hard! Her face was filled with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes, clearly infuriated by Xiao Fan’s actions, her hatred for him deep and endless like a river.

“Wife, why are you hitting me? This really is a chamber pot used by Qin Shi Huang…” Xiao Fan looked at Zhou Lingxi with a wronged face, not understanding why she hit him.

“Slap!” He was answered with another slap. “I’ve told you before, I’m not your wife, don’t call me that!” Zhou Lingxi glared at Xiao Fan furiously. This useless thing, did he want to make her lose all face?

“Xiao Fan, what exactly are you trying to do!” The old lady, sitting in the main seat, questioned Xiao Fan with a stern face, losing her previously cheerful demeanor.

“I…” Before Xiao Fan could finish, he was interrupted by a shout.

“Jiang family’s young master Jiang Che presents a thousand-year-old ginseng.” The butler, looking at the gift list, couldn’t help but gasp. A thousand-year-old ginseng! This is a priceless treasure, impossible to buy even with money.

Due to its age, this type of ginseng has enormous health benefits. It’s usually something wealthy people buy for life-saving purposes, as ordinary people can’t afford it.

“Who is this Jiang family’s young master? He’s really generous!”

“Never heard of him. There doesn’t seem to be a Jiang family in the Imperial Capital.”

Hearing the murmurs around her, Zhou Lingxi turned around, surprised, and saw Jiang Che walking in through the door. She ran to him and hugged him tightly, sobbing silently. With Jiang Che’s arrival, all the grievances she had suffered today seemed worth it.

Feeling the woman in his arms trembling and his chest getting wet, Jiang Che patted Zhou Lingxi’s shoulder, not saying anything to comfort her. He knew that at this moment, Zhou Lingxi needed to vent her emotions.

“Jiang Che…” Watching the intimate Jiang Che and Zhou Lingxi, Xiao Fan’s face turned green with envy. His eyes bloodshot, he clenched his fists tightly. He was about to lose control and attack!

“No… I can’t reveal my identity in front of Lingxi…”

…………

After venting her emotions, Zhou Lingxi lifted her head from Jiang Che’s embrace, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Upon seeing Jiang Che, she had uncontrollably thrown herself into his arms, feeling embarrassed about it now. “Jiang Che… I…”

“You don’t need to explain, after all, I am your boyfriend.” Jiang Che tenderly wiped the tears from Zhou Lingxi’s face, took her soft hand, and walked up to Xiao Fan.

He slapped Xiao Fan hard, who didn’t resist, or rather, didn’t want to resist, and was sent flying.

He crashed onto a dining table a dozen meters away, breaking it apart, coughing violently on the ground.

The scene went silent, with all the guests staring at this unexpected Jiang family’s young master, not knowing what he intended to do.

“You’re Lingxi’s grandmother?” Jiang Che looked at the old lady sitting in the main seat, frowning slightly.

“Yes, I am. Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at my birthday banquet?” The old lady frowned at Jiang Che, not recognizing the name of the Jiang family, assuming this young man was just from a minor family.

“Can I hit her?” Instead of answering the old lady’s question, Jiang Che turned to Zhou Lingxi.

“This…” Zhou Lingxi was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Che to say such a thing. Hesitating, and perhaps motivated by something, she nodded firmly.

She didn’t have a good impression of the old lady, who had always treated her and her family poorly. If possible, she would have loved to slap the old woman herself!

“Uncle Fu, slap her!” After Zhou Lingxi’s response, Jiang Che smirked coldly and ordered Uncle Fu to take action.

Uncle Fu didn’t hesitate, walked over to the old lady, and with a slap, knocked several of her teeth out.

She whimpered in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks, asking unclearly. “Why are you hitting me?”

“Slapping you for being disrespectful in your old age!”

“Slapping you for being a bully!”

“Slapping you, this old woman, for being blind to marry Lingxi to such a useless thing like Xiao Fan!”

“Uncle Fu, what are you waiting for, keep slapping!”

“Wuwuwu… stop… I was wrong, I shouldn’t have forced Lingxi…” After several more slaps, the old lady started crying and begging for mercy. At her age, a few more slaps might kill her.

“Uncle Fu, stop.” Jiang Che snorted coldly, halting Uncle Fu’s actions, then turned his gaze to Zhou Lingxi’s relatives. “Anyone who bullied Lingxi, stand up now, don’t make me root you out one by one!”

“Otherwise, you won’t like the consequences!”
