42: Chapter 42 I'll only give a bowl as a birthday gift! Xiao Ce: This guy's been missing for three years, what's he doing here?

Lin Yu sighed.

It's a habit... Truly, it is a good habit!

Today, I will make all of you open your eyes!

I will make the Tang Family understand... exactly what you have lost!

Lin Yu clenched his fists.

"If you're used to it, then hurry up and go!"

Tang Mother, not knowing how, turned back and slapped him again. "Good-for-nothing, trash, loser!"

Lin Yu: "..."

Tang Mengyao: "..."

"Alright, I'll go right now!"

Lin Yu nodded hurriedly and quickly left the place!

"Hmph!"

"Mengyao, stay away from this loser in the future!"

Tang Mother huffed proudly. "Actually, that's right, you're a loser, and he's a loser too!"

"You two losers certainly have common topics to discuss!"

"Get lost!"

Tang Mother looked disgusted and turned to leave.

Tang Mengyao opened her mouth but followed silently.

That's right, I'm a loser too!

A loser in the Tang Family just waiting to die!

When the time comes, they will use me as a tool for a political marriage and throw me away!

I am just an expendable person... a tool for you to gain benefits!

As expected... having a stepmother means having a stepfather!

Grandpa, I miss you!

Tears welled up in Tang Mengyao's eyes, and she pursed her lips.

She thought of her grandfather who was far away in heaven, and her heart felt heavy.

Shen Yuan arrived here with Chu Yang and Xiao Ce.

Because too many people recognized him... he didn't go up to join them!

"What exactly did you come here for?"

The three hid in a corner, and Chu Yang poked Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's mouth crooked, "To watch a show!"

Xiao Ce: "I am a dignified God of War, here with you..."

"In the end, I'm still disliked by my brother!" Shen Yuan sighed. "I thought that by saving my brother's wife and daughter..."

"My brother would treat me specially, and would eventually have more patience for me."

"It's only been a few days, and my brother is already glaring at me, with no patience left..."

"He is already trying to use his status to suppress his younger brother's hobbies."

Shen Yuan extended his finger, dabbed it with saliva, and wiped it at the corner of his eye. "Look at these tears of sorrow!"

Chu Yang covered Shen Yuan's mouth, turned to Xiao Ce, and shouted, "Why did you provoke him?"

"Did you forget this guy's passive-aggressive nature?"

"Oh, wait, you didn't see him like this..."

"You were too busy with your wife and children!"

Chu Yang squinted, "I despise you!"

Xiao Ce's mouth twitched.

Damn it...

This guy Old Shen is actually this... green tea?

Is he possessed by Lin Daiyu?

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

The white-haired Old Madam Tang was beaming with joy.

Tang Mother pulled Tang Mengxin over, smiling, "Mengxin, Young Master Yang Xu of the Yang Family is here today!"

"He treats you so well!"

"He throws money around without being sleazy, and is flashy yet knows how to avoid suspicion!"

"Every cent he spends is accurately targeted at your life, carrying an irresistible doting."

Tang Mother clutched her chest, "I'm so envious!"

Tang Mengxin: "..."

"He doesn't even mind that you're married, he's been waiting for you to divorce!"

"He loves you so much!" Tang Mother said with a smile.

"I understand!" Tang Mengxin nodded, "If it weren't for Grandpa, I wouldn't have married Lin Yu!"

"That loser!"

"The three-year promise stated that if I didn't fall in love with him, he would leave with nothing!"

"I remember, isn't it almost time?"

"After today's birthday banquet, I will divorce him!"

A hint of tenderness flashed in Tang Mengxin's eyes, "Yang Xu is still the best!"

Tang Mother also chuckled.

How wonderful!

It's practically a double happiness!

Soon, it was time for the birthday greetings...

Piles of longevity peaches were brought up and placed on the table in front.

Old Madam Tang sat quietly on her chair!

"The Wang Family presents a pair of gold-inlaid jade ruyi, wishing Old Madam Tang auspiciousness and good fortune!"

"The Zhao Family presents a calligraphy copybook by Wang Anshi, wishing Old Madam Tang longevity as high as Mount Nan!"

"The Sun Family presents a pair of mutton-fat jade trinkets, wishing Old Madam Tang happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea..."

People, big and small, came up to give gifts.

Old Madam Tang was glowing; although she was old... she was still smiling from ear to ear.

"Yang Xu of the Yang Family!"

A young man walked out, handsome and dashing, and cupped his hands in greeting, "I present a pair of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups!"

Everyone looked over and gasped.

Everyone knew that Yang Xu of the Yang Family was drooling over Tang Mengxin, wishing he could press her onto the bed immediately!

Some had also said... Tang Mengxin is already married, how could she be a match for Yang Xu?

But Yang Xu laughed dashingly!

Married is good!

Married is even more wonderful!

Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups?

The crowd was extremely surprised.

This thing...

It was a small cup specially made by the Chenghua Emperor for his favorite concubine. The body of the cup was painted with a group of hens and chicks, the Doucai craftsmanship was exquisite, the body was as thin as paper, and the glaze was as moist as jade.

It was auctioned in Hong Kong back then for 249 million RMB.

He is truly rich!

"Young Master Yang, you're too kind, too kind. It's enough that you came; why bring such a good gift?"

Old Madam Tang was smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh my, Young Master Yang!"

Tang Mother stepped forward and pulled him to the side, "Come, come, come, Mengxin has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Tang Mengxin looked at Yang Xu, smiling brightly.

Yang Xu also smiled gently, looking like a dashing young man.

"Brother Yang Xu, hello!"

Tang Mengxin smiled brightly.

"Mengxin!"

Yang Xu laughed happily.

It's settled!

Tang Mengxin will eventually be delivered to my bed!

However...

Yang Xu smiled and turned to look aside.

Where is that loser son-in-law?

I must trample his face under my feet and give him a good hard time!

"Grandma Tang, I wonder where Mengxin's husband is?"

Yang Xu changed the subject, "Today is your birthday; as Mengxin's husband, shouldn't he have prepared a gift for you too?"

Tang Mengyao stood to the side, about to say something...

But Old Madam Tang spoke up, "Young Master Yang is right!"

The people present laughed in unison.

They understood, they all understood!

Young Master Yang is deliberately trying to trample on the face of the Tang Family's son-in-law!

Time to watch the show, time to watch the show!

Shen Yuan huddled to the side and took out a bowl, "In a while, I will go out and give a gift!"

"This bowl is my gift!"

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yang and Xiao Ce: "????"

Are you sure!?

The gifts others are giving are worth at least one million, and you're going up there with a broken bowl?

"After all, when I go out to beg in the future..."

"Having a bowl is very useful!"

Shen Yuan licked his lips, "In case I strike it rich, like the Ming Taizu, and get a start with just a bowl, then I will be their benefactor!"

The corners of Chu Yang and Xiao Ce's mouths twitched wildly.

My dear Young Master Shen!

If you want to bankrupt the Tang Family, just say the word.

That's the purpose of your coming here today, right?

Speaking of which...

I haven't heard of the Tang Family offending the Shen Family.

"Make that loser son-in-law come out!"

Tang Mother turned her head directly, "As a son-in-law, don't you know to give a gift to the matriarch?"

"Mom, I'm out here!"

Lin Yu walked out.

Yang Xu smiled lightly and said with interest, "Brother Lin, I wonder what gift you have prepared for the old lady?"

Lin Yu took a deep breath and took out a necklace from his body.

Shen Yuan took a look and was instantly stunned in place.

Holy crap!

That thing is... the Emperor Jade Great Wall!?

Worth... five or six hundred million?

Xiao Ce suddenly frowned and stared fixedly at Lin Yu.

He suddenly slapped his thigh, "Holy crap!"

"Why is this idiot here?"
