Xie Yunfeng was at a loss for what to do.
He was a shy child by nature, and the way people were staring at him made him want to turn and flee.
"What are you running for?"
Xie Xinying, clad in a high-end, custom-made white wedding gown adorned with diamonds that blinded everyone, strutted over. With her head held high like a proud peacock, she sneered, "Xie Yunfeng, didn't you betray the family? What, seeing the Xie family rise again, you've come to apologize?"
Xie Yunfeng's face flushed red, "No, I didn't!"
"Didn't? Then what are you doing here? Just here for the free food and drinks?"
Xie Xinying snatched the red envelope from his hand. Upon seeing a card worth fifty thousand inside, she scoffed, "This is it? Do I lack fifty thousand? You're an embarrassment, only fifty thousand?"
She dangled the meager card, eliciting uproarious laughter from the crowd.
A ridiculous rich second-generation heir, stroking his slicked-back hair, chimed in, "Isn't this the former young master of the Xie family? How come your gift is only fifty thousand? Even as an outsider, I gave eighty-eight thousand!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's too embarrassing."
The guests murmured, pointing fingers at Xie Yunfeng.
Understandably, the attendees were all wealthy and influential, with gift envelopes starting at eighty thousand, some even reaching eight hundred thousand.
The most generous relative of the Xie family had even presented a large red box filled with eighty-eighty thousand in cash, along with gold bars and jewelry.
Xie Yunfeng stood there, on the verge of tears.
This fifty thousand yuan was all his sister, Su Bingyan, could afford. He hadn't even found a job recently! He was truly useless!
Xie Yunfeng lowered his head, wishing he could die at that moment.
The mocking voices around him grew louder.
The Xie family members were all present. The old matriarch, of course, and Xie Yunfeng's father, Xie Changan, whose face turned ashen. He suddenly lunged forward and kicked Xie Yunfeng twice, yelling, "You good-for-nothing! I shouldn't have given birth to a loser like you! Get lost!"
Xie Yunfeng stumbled and knelt on the ground.
Xie Changan's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to strike.
"Lower your hand!" a cold voice commanded.
Everyone looked up and saw Qin Yexuan.
All the Xie family members trembled, recoiling several steps in fear.
The others didn't recognize him and looked on with curiosity.
"Brother-in-law!" Xie Yunfeng cried, tears streaming down his face. "I'm so upset, truly upset. That man, he's my father, but after Mom and I left, he never even called. Now he thinks I'm an embarrassment, and I can't even hit him..."
The young Xie Yunfeng was too fragile.
Qin Yexuan sternly ordered, "Stand up straight!"
Xie Yunfeng instinctively stood tall, his face pale.
"Stand tall, and others will respect you!" Qin Yexuan patted his shoulder. "Yunfeng, be confident. Everyone here is trash; no one is more outstanding than you!"
What?
The entire hall erupted in shock.
Qin Yexuan's words had effectively insulted everyone present.
Xie Xinying fumed, "Qin, we used to fear you because you had some status. But now, no matter how capable you are, can you compare to my husband's family?"
The crowd chimed in with laughter, "Of course not. They are the King of Southern Commandery!"
Qin Yexuan ignored Xie Xinying and took out his own red envelope, placing it in Xie Yunfeng's hand. "Representing Bingyan and me, use this as your gift! Let's see who dares to say anything!"
Xie Yunfeng opened the red envelope and immediately straightened his back.
His hands began to tremble.
His brother-in-law was invincible. With this gift, let alone the Xie family, it was the best in the world.
Holding the red envelope, Xie Yunfeng's spirit surged, "I, representing Sister Bingyan and Brother-in-law, will present a gift again!"
Xie Xinying glanced at it. What could a thin red envelope contain?
She sneered, "Sorry, I don't care for it!"
Don't care for it?
Xie Yunfeng sneered back, "Then you'd better not regret it. This is the last chance I'm giving you on behalf of my sister and mother!"
A chance?
The Xie family needs you to give them a chance!
The old matriarch couldn't hold back and roared, "Our Xie family is facing some problems now, but it would take at least fifty million yuan to barely solve them. Xie Yunfeng, what can you give us? Can you give us fifty million?"
It was laughable. Fifty million?
Xie Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"What are you laughing at?" the Xie family members exploded in anger.
Xie Yunfeng stopped laughing and scanned the crowd, "One last question, do you want this red envelope or not?"
"Get lost! We don't want it!" Xie Xinying even shouted.
"Very good!" Xie Yunfeng suddenly opened the red envelope, revealing a Golden Dragon Silver Alliance card. "This hundred million, you don't want it? You refuse it? You don't care about it? Very well, you look down on me, right? Then I'll gladly accept it myself! After all, it's a gift from my brother-in-law!"
The entire hall fell silent.
The Xie family members were all petrified.
They stared at the Golden Dragon Silver Alliance card, at the hundred million, their eyes welling up with tears.
