Beihai City.
Evening, the West Mountain affluent district.
Ye Zixiao found the Lin family's villa according to the address. He stood outside the gate, feeling somewhat curious, because outside and inside the gate of the Lin family, there were many men in black suits gathered.
"What's up, gangsters?!"
Ye Zixiao joked as he walked to the gate.
"Stop, what are you doing here?"
A young man with a buzz cut questioned nervously.
"I'm looking for Lin Qingzhu."
"Who are you, and what do you want with the second young lady?"
"I'm here to marry her."
"What?!"
The buzz-cut man froze.
He looked Ye Zixiao up and down, then sneered and said, "Kid, are you crazy? With your country bumpkin look, you want to marry the second young lady? Are you worthy?"
*Slap!*
A crisp sound suddenly echoed.
Ye Zixiao slapped the buzz-cut man away.
"Damn it, do you think I want to marry her? My dad forced me to come! I said I won't be bullied, and anyone who messes with me, I'll finish them, whoever they are!"
Ye Zixiao seemed to have gone mad. He cursed and started kicking the unfortunate buzz-cut man fiercely.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Kid, you son of a bitch, stop."
"There's a situation, get more people!"
The Lin family villa area suddenly became tense.
A group of men in black suits rushed forward, instantly surrounding Ye Zixiao. They were all carrying steel pipes and yelling at him. It looked like they were about to attack.
"They really are gangsters!"
Ye Zixiao shook his neck, finding it amusing.
"Move aside, who is it?"
Suddenly, a powerful shout came. The encircling men in black suits parted, and a leader in his thirties rushed forward. He glared at Ye Zixiao with a fierce expression and a wide grin.
"What's up, are you going to eat me?"
Ye Zixiao teased nonchalantly.
"Are you from the Niu family?"
The leader asked cautiously, frowning.
"Niu family? I'm the Ma family!"
Ye Zixiao, getting annoyed, raised his voice and said, "My name is Ye Zixiao. I'm here to marry Lin Qingzhu. Let's be clear, I'm not a pushover. Anyone who acts tough, I'll deal with them."
"You're Ye Zixiao?!"
The leader was stunned.
Ten minutes later...
Ye Zixiao sat in the Lin family's luxurious living room, eating fruit from the coffee table and observing the five people opposite him. The people opposite him were all staring at him like he was a monkey.
Ye Zixiao had good features, but due to years of living on the snowy mountains, his skin was rough, and his hair was like dry grass. He wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, looking like a bandit!
In contrast, the Lin family members opposite him were all radiating an air of luxury and nobility.
"Hmm, this marriage contract is fine!"
The patriarch, Lin Dong, put down the marriage contract brought by Ye Zixiao and said to his family with a poker face, "Since he's here, let's get the marriage registration done. This is the old man's will."
Before he finished speaking.
Lin Dong got up and went upstairs?!
"I really don't understand!"
The matriarch, Sun Fengzhi, said arrogantly and lazily, "The old man really knows how to stir things up. He's gone, yet he's muddled things up and brought such a son-in-law to the Lin family?!"
"Mom, I don't understand either. Qingzhu is known as the number one beauty in Beihai, with a long line of wealthy young men pursuing her. Why would we have to take in such a simpleton as a live-in son-in-law?"
The eldest young master, Lin Feng, looked annoyed.
"What do you know? I think this young man has an unusual physique, and his attire is very rustic. If the second sister marries someone like this, it will surely cause a sensation throughout the city."
The eldest young mistress, Jiang Chunmei, said with a smile.
Ye Zixiao was eating a bunch of grapes, glanced at the Lin family members opposite him, then turned to the Lin family's third young master, Lin Bin, and said with a smile, "It's your turn, come on, insult me."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Lin Bin was completely bewildered.
"I've read a lot of 'face-slapping' novels. Shouldn't a live-in son-in-law be mocked and looked down upon by the entire wife's family? It's your turn, come on, just call me a good-for-nothing. I'm prepared."
"Damn it, stop messing around!"
Lin Bin was dismissive. He leaned forward and asked curiously, "Hey brother, I heard you came down from the snowy mountains. How many years did you live up there?"
Now it was Ye Zixiao's turn to be confused.
Why was the plot different?
The Lin family patriarch went upstairs directly. The matriarch, eldest young master, and young mistress, although their words weren't pleasant, they weren't exactly insulting. And this young master was even more outrageous; he was very enthusiastic?
"I'm asking you, how many years?"
"Eight years!"
Ye Zixiao answered blankly.
"Holy cow, brother, you're really awesome! To endure eight years in the snowy mountains, you're definitely a tough guy. Oh, right, are there women on your snowy mountains?"
"Yes, there are nuns and abbesses in the temples."
"Nuns? Are they good in bed?"
"Lin Bin, shut up!"
Matriarch Sun Fengzhi roared, slapping the table.
"I'm just asking!"
Lin Bin pouted, got up, patted Ye Zixiao's shoulder, and said, "The Lin family has something going on today, so I can't stay with you. I'll take you out to have fun another day and find you some girls."
"Get out!"
Sun Fengzhi's face turned green with anger.
Lin Bin ran out like a streak of lightning.
Ye Zixiao was utterly bewildered. He had thought of many scenarios for meeting the Lin family, but he never expected it to be like this. Were the live-in sons-in-law in those "face-slapping" novels all lies?
"Little Ye, where is your home from?"
Matriarch Sun Fengzhi asked routinely.
"My home is in Beijiang."
Ye Zixiao became slightly more polite.
"Who are the members of your family?"
"Just my dad and me."
"What does your family do?"
"My dad herds sheep, and I live off him."
"Heh heh, alright, since you're here, you can stay first. The Lin family is a bit chaotic these days. After things settle down, we'll discuss the marriage. Uncle Hai, arrange a room for Little Ye."
Sun Fengzhi shook her head slightly as she stood up.
"Understood!"
The butler, Uncle Hai, immediately agreed.
"Alright, you guys go upstairs!"
"Husband, be careful."
Lin Feng got up and walked towards the door. Jiang Chunmei reminded him, then gave Ye Zixiao a polite smile before supporting her mother-in-law, Sun Fengzhi, and walking up the stairs.
"Mr. Ye, follow me."
The butler, Uncle Hai, gestured to Ye Zixiao.
"Hey, wait, I was saying..."
Ye Zixiao, who was fully prepared for a showdown, was completely dumbfounded. The plot was different, and he didn't know how to play anymore. It was like a heavy punch hitting cotton, he couldn't exert his strength, and he felt uncomfortable all over!
"Uncle Hai, what happened to the Lin family?"
Ye Zixiao asked awkwardly, trying to make conversation.
"Nothing, just small matters."
"By the way, where is Lin Qingzhu?"
"The second young lady is busy. She'll be back later."
"Oh!"
Ye Zixiao scratched his head, unsure of what else to say. He hadn't seen his fiancée, and he felt a little bit of anticipation. But judging by the Lin family's words, Lin Qingzhu should not be unattractive.
'Damn, if she's not good-looking, I have my senior sisters!'
Thinking of his senior sisters, Ye Zixiao felt happy.
The sky soon darkened. The Lin family's interior and exterior exuded an atmosphere of tension and suppression. Ye Zixiao, who had been arranged in a guest room on the first floor, was already hungry, but dinner had not been served.
"They're here, they've arrived."
"Quick, quick, everyone get your weapons."
"Damn it, kill them."
The courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Ye Zixiao looked out the window and saw at least fifty to sixty men in black suits gathered together. The leader in his thirties was giving commands, and they all rushed to the inner side of the villa's main gate.
For a moment.
The Lin family villa area became very tense!
Under the bright lights, on the empty square outside the gate, a large group of people slowly walked over. At the forefront was a burly man with a full beard, carrying a baseball bat on his shoulder.
"Holy crap, a gangster fight!"
Ye Zixiao, watching the excitement, was thrilled and curious.
