It was a lively family feast in the Chen family.

Everyone was talking and laughing. Only Ye Shuo was treated as a transparent person.

Ye Shuo was the highly regarded son-in-law of the Chen family. He had always been looked down upon by others.

Because of his poverty, both in the eyes of outsiders and in the eyes of the Chen family, Ye Shuo was an iron nail.

In terms of status?

It was not even as good as a dog at home.

Ye Shuo ate as much as he could, trying not to look at the faces of the people at the table.

Today was the birthday of the head of the Chen family, Chen Songlin.

The motive of the father-in-law especially emphasized that Ye Shuo must come was very obvious.

In his eyes, Ye Shuo's only practical use was to be a joke at a meal to ease the atmosphere.

"Honey, come and eat a fish to nourish your body."

Chen Ya held the fish's chopsticks and was about to put them into her husband's bowl. Her sneer attracted everyone's attention.

"Tut-tut, Ya'er, you should know that this fish is a high-grade product that Dong Cheng specially asked someone to deliver. I specially ordered the chef to make it according to my father's taste. It's not something that a country bumpkin can eat as he likes."

Chen Ya stopped breathing and looked embarrassed.

The others all quieted down tacitly, ready to watch a joke.

"Humph." Chen Songlin snorted. When he turned to look at his eldest daughter, Chen Fang and her family, he naturally put on a kind face.

"Dongcheng, you're so considerate," the old man said with a smile. He didn't mean to speak up for Ye Shuo.

Instead, he hit her when she was down.

"Ye Shuo, it's been a year since you've come to the Chen family. Any random man would've made me have a grandson long ago. It's fine if you didn't make any moves, but what about your job? Diamond and car, you can't afford either. Those who kneel down and beg on the roadside are richer than you. What do you think you are if you're not a good-for-nothing?"

"I shouldn't have married my daughter to you at that time. You can't help her! In my opinion, you two should get divorced as soon as possible. When Ya is still young, even if you get divorced, you can still get married!"

Ye Shuo clenched his fists under the table, and his shoulders could not help trembling.

He couldn't refute it.

Whether it was Chen Songlin or the others, in their eyes, the current Ye Shuo was indeed a useless good-for-nothing.

"Look at Dongcheng. Over the years, he hasn't left any food and clothes for Xiao Fang. He even bought a car for Xiao Fang in the past two days!"

"What about you? You said you loved your wife, but what did you give to Ya'er?"

Chen Ya was about to refute when she felt Ye Shuo tighten his grip on her hand. She fell silent.

Li Dongcheng, the eldest brother-in-law, looked at Chen Fang gently and gently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

In fact, when Li Dongcheng and Chen Fang got married, they were not very rich. Most of the time, without Chen Ya's help, the couple could only tighten their pants and drink the air.

Naturally, Chen Songlin had also been lent money by Chen Fang. Compared with this father-in-law, who would be heartbroken if he dug out a little bit of money, Ye Shuo and his family did not complain at all while paying the price.

Li Huacheng had only begun to develop in recent years.

Relying on a small project of the government, Li Dongcheng made money by operating it. Then he bought a luxury car and lived in a villa, but he didn't care about the old friendship of Chen Ya's family.

As the saying goes, one has to take revenge for the enemy. Every time he met someone who was rich, he would insult Ye Shuo with his words.

Li Dong was almost biased, so he took over the conversation with a smile.

"Dad, how can you say that? My brother-in-law is just unlucky. He is so good-for-nothing and loves his wife. If he has money in the future, whatever jewelry car, he will definitely make up for it for you!"

He turned to look at Ye Shuo and said in a teasing tone, "Ye Shuo, I think it's better to do this. My company has been engaged in a big project recently, and there are some people who are not enough. It's said that there is still a security guard in the hall."

Li Dongcheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Shuo. "I think you have a good figure and a good appearance. With my relationship, it's easy for you to be the captain of the security guards. I'll give you a salary of one thousand and eight hundred per month. What do you think? Not everyone has such an opportunity."

"Hahaha!"

Finally, there was someone on the table who couldn't hold back his laughter. They looked at Ye Shuo with ridicule and disdain in their eyes.

Ye Shuo took a deep breath, his eyes slightly red.

Chen Ya held her husband's hand tightly, and her face suddenly became cold. These people were really not human at all. How could they humiliate their husband in front of so many people?

Especially Li Dongcheng, who was an ungrateful person. If it weren't for Ye Shuo's help, how could he be like this!?

Chen Ya opened her red lips slightly and wanted to refute Li Huacheng, but Ye Shuo stopped her again. He shook his head slightly, which made Chen Ya's nose ache.

"Dad, today is your birthday. I've prepared a small gift for you." Li Dongcheng took a quick glance at Ye Shuo and took out a long box with gold in it.

As soon as he opened it, he saw a crystal clear jade ruyi lying inside. It was extremely valuable.

Chen Songlin said yes three times in a row and grinned from ear to ear.

The jade Ruyi Sceptre was crystal-clear in color and engraved with a qilin, which meant good fortune. The knife technique looked familiar and ingenious. Obviously, it was the work of a master.

The jade Ruyi Sceptre emitted a few cries of surprise when it was exposed to the light.

"Wow, the price of this kind of jade is not low!"

"Dongcheng has really put in a lot of effort!"

Among the relatives at the table, someone gave a thumbs-up and flattered them.

Li Dongcheng was like a rooster that won a battle.

"The material of this Ruyi Sceptre is from Mount Hanshan in Burma. It took me a lot of effort to get it from a friend, and I also asked a famous master in the industry to carve it. It cost me hundreds of thousands of yuan in total!"

"I heard that this jade can prolong life. If I don't want to give up money, I have to spend it! Dad, I hope you like it."

When Chen Songlin heard that such a small piece of stuff cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, he stood up excitedly.

"Dongcheng, it's rare for you to be filial!"

Chen Songlin picked up the jade Ruyi Sceptre and couldn't let go of it. After rubbing it for a while, he snorted and said sarcastically,

"Haha, look, they're both sons-in-law, but some of them are as good-for-nothing as Dongcheng. They won't come empty-handed after knowing my birthday, will they?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Shuo with pity.

"Dad, I brought a gift."

Although Ye Shuo didn't have a good impression of Chen Songlin, his father-in-law's birthday would be over, so he wouldn't show the slightest bit of courtesy and make others gossip about him.

Ye Shuo also took out a small box from his pocket and was about to open it.

Chen Songlin sneered. "I won't accept your things!"

He looked disdainfully at the cracked old wooden box, his anger surging.

"If you forget it, forget it. You don't have to pick up a piece of trash from the stall and fool me. Don't you think it's shameful enough?"

"After this meal, you'd better get out of here. Ha, a gift or something. If you can take out half of the standard, I'll take it!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Chen Ya bit her lip and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Now that things had come to this point, there was no need to say anything more.

Ye Shuo silently put the wooden box back into his pocket.

The jades in Burma were good, but they were also divided into different kinds. Compared with the top king Green in the wooden box, the jade Ruyi's swollen green was the trash in the garbage.

But at this moment, there was no need for him to say it. Even if he said it, no one would believe it, right?

It wasn't easy to get through to the end of the banquet.

Chen Ya took Ye Shuo's arm and went out, looking tired.

"Honey, take this card and buy something. I have something to do in the company." Chen Ya touched Ye Shuo's head with distress. "Those people... you don't have to take them to heart."

"Yes, I know."

Ye Shuo took the card. He didn't want his wife to worry about him.

Seeing Chen Ya get in the car, Ye Shuo was speechless for a long time. In the front, a group of people flattered a person and left busily.

Ye Shuo turned his back to the crowd, and his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. It was a text message.

"Young Master, the family's restrictions on you have been lifted."

"From this moment on, you can use all of the clan's resources as usual!"
