Han Zixiao smiled and said, “Brother Lin, even if you can afford it, you can’t buy one. There is only one Jade Buddha the size of a peach in our Grand Fortune Jewelry. An important customer has already bought it. One look, and you can tell that it’s the kind of Jade Buddha that a local rich man buys. He only buys expensive items.”

The smiles on Lin Fei and Liu Yan’s faces instantly froze.

When he came to his senses, Lin Fei hurriedly asked, “Brother Han, didn’t your Grand Fortune Jewelry close down for renovations? How did you still manage to sell a Jade Buddha? Are you kidding me?”

Han Zixiao said, “Of course, I’m not kidding you. Our Grand Fortune Jewelry closed down for renovations, but that customer’s background was too prominent. Our boss personally brought him to the shop to choose. You don’t know what happened back then. I was there too. Our boss was bowing like a loyal subordinate in front of that customer. That customer’s identity must be very honorable indeed.”

Lin Fei was speechless.

Liu Yan’s expression was dark.

“I got it, Brother Han.” Lin Fei’s throat was dry. “I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll hang up first.”

Without waiting for a reply, Lin Fei hung up the phone in a fluster.

The entire room instantly turned silent. For a long time, no one spoke.

Lin Fei and Liu Yan’s expressions were so ugly that they almost turned green.

Finally, Lin Fei braced himself and stood up, bowing to Ye Xuan on the spot.

“Young Master Ye, this is entirely my bad. I’ll apologize to you now. I hope that you will forgive me and not lower yourself to my level.”

Ye Xuan’s expression was cold. “The person next to you seems to want to eat me with her eyes, though?”

Lin Fei quickly glared at Liu Yan. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to me.”

Liu Yan trembled and stood up in a hurry. “Young Master Ye, I apologize to you. I hope that on account of Ruoshi, you will forgive us.”

Ye Xuan sneered. “Unfortunately, I’m not a person who easily forgives. What should we do?”

Liu Yan’s expression froze, and Lin Fei went numb.

Ye Xuan’s identity was not ordinary. They could not afford to offend him.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fei looked at Lin Hai. “Brother, can you say something? I was wrong, and I will also apologize to you.”

Lin Hai did not fall for that. “Brother, your attitude was not like this before.”

Lin Fei’s expression became even uglier, but he did not dare walk away. Even the boss of Grand Fortune Jewelry had to bow down to Ye Xuan. Wouldn’t he be courting death if he offended such a person and ran away? Suzhou was only so big. Where could he possibly run to?

Lin Fei said, “Brother, I have already apologized to you. Can’t you please help me out here?”

Lin Hai’s expression was gloomy. In the end, he sighed. He did not have the heart to be too ruthless.

He stood up and said to Ye Xuan personally,

“Ye Xuan, I will also apologize to you on behalf of my brother. You were given a difficult time on your first visit. I was wrong too. I hope you will calm down.”

As he spoke, Lin Hai even cupped his hands to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan quickly held Lin Hai. “Uncle Lin, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Lin Hai stopped. He quickly berated Zhao Shufen.

“What are you looking at? Aren’t you going to make tea for Ye Xuan?”

Zhao Shufen reacted and promptly said, “Yes, I’ll go right now.”

With that, she went to make tea.

At the same time, Lin Hai pulled Ye Xuan to sit down.

Lin Fei said in a flattering tone, “Young Master Ye is a talented man. If Ruoshi can marry a man like you, that would be her fortune.”

Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Fei, and his face turned cold, “I won’t argue with you, but that doesn’t mean that I have forgotten what happened. I don’t want to see you anymore. Get lost!”

Lin Fei’s expression froze, but he did not dare say a word. He quickly pulled Liu Yan up, said goodbye, and left dejectedly.

After Lin Fei and his wife left, the atmosphere became cheerful. Ye Xuan had given such an expensive gift, and even Zhao Shufen had become unusually warm.

After chatting for more than an hour, Ye Xuan refused Lin Hai’s invitation to stay for dinner. He left the Lin family, and Lin Ruoshi followed him downstairs.

“Ye Xuan, my dad asked you to stay for dinner. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan and asked.

Ye Xuan smiled and said to Lin Ruoshi, “There’s something important that I need to attend to. President Lin, I’ve prepared a surprise for you. Don’t you want to know?”

“What surprise?” Lin Ruoshi’s eyes were expectant. “I’m ordering you as the president. Tell me quickly!”

Ye Xuan said, “President Lin, I sent someone to deliver betrothal gifts earlier. Don’t you wish to know what I’ve sent?”

Lin Ruoshi was confused. “What betrothal gifts?”

“They’ve been sent to your grandfather. If you don’t believe me, we can go over and take a look right now.”

“Really?” Joy filled Lin Ruoshi’s heart.

“Let’s go take a look right now.”

With that, Lin Ruoshi ran upstairs impatiently. She even dragged Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen to the Lin family’s courtyard house.

Initially, Lin Ruoshi had only intended to use Ye Xuan as a shield, but for some reason, after interacting with Ye Xuan, she felt that she was attracted to him.

Hearing Ye Xuan says that he had given her a betrothal gift, she was as happy as a little girl who would marry her beloved.

Soon, the group arrived at Lin Tianxong’s house.

When the Lin family saw Lin Ruoshi and the others, they were confused.

Lin Junsheng was the first to come up and ask, “Lin Ruoshi, what are you doing here?”

Lin Ruoshi ignored Lin Junsheng and walked to her grandfather, Lin Tianxiong,

“Grandpa, did someone come to give you a betrothal gift earlier? Show it to me!”

Lin Tianxiong was dressed in a suit, and his beard was immaculate. He looked brilliant. He looked at Lin Ruoshi with a smile, “Indeed, there was. But how did you know?”

Lin Ruoshi immediately said, “Of course, I know. Ye Xuan intended those gifts for me after all.” 

“What?” Lin Tianxiong was stunned.

The rest of the Lin family were also stunned. Didn’t Ye Mingyuan give the betrothal gift for Lin Dongmei?

At this time, Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan and said to Lin Tianxiong, “Grandpa, this is Ye Xuan, my boyfriend.”

Only then did everyone notice Ye Xuan. Some of the Lin family disciples at the banquet suddenly changed expression.

Lin Tianxiong’s expression darkened. “You are Ye Xuan?”

Ye Xuan said politely to Lin Tianxiong, “Hello, Grandfather Lin. I’m Ye Xuan.”

“Shut up!” Lin Tianxiong berated. “I have nothing to do with you. Leave this place! Our Lin family doesn’t welcome you.”

Lin Junsheng also shouted, “Right, Ye Xuan, hurry up and leave. Our Lin family doesn’t want to die with you. Pathetic security guard, you dared to hit Gao Longfei. You’re simply courting death.”

“Yes, hurry up and kick him out!” The other members of the Lin family also joined in the commotion.

Ye Xuan frowned and was in a bad mood.

Lin Ruoshi never expected such a reaction from her family. She was instantly stunned, but then she said anxiously, “Grandpa, how could you do this to Ye Xuan? He…”

Lin Tianxiong interrupted Lin Ruoshi,

“Ruoshi, shut up. I’ve already investigated Ye Xuan’s identity. He’s just a security guard. His father is the factory manager, his mother is a teacher, and his family background is extremely ordinary. He ruined the marriage alliance between our Lin family and the Gao family, and now he dares to come here and pretend to be the one who sent the betrothal gift. 

“That betrothal gift was sent by Dong Mei’s boyfriend, Ye Mingyuan. What does it have to do with him? I think he is trying to get close to you to establish a better position for himself!”

“What?” Lin Ruoshi was stunned and looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief..
