"Young Master, do you really intend to be someone's son-in-law for the rest of their lives? Are you really not going to consider going back? "

"Master has said that as long as you are willing to return to the Lin Family, he will hand over all of the Lin Family's trillion assets to you."

"The Lin Family can even arrange a new marriage for you. As long as you wish it, the most beautiful and outstanding women in the world will line up and be chosen by you."

"That woman Xiao Family, she's not worthy of you …"

Donglin City, street, in front of a small restaurant.

A graceful old man dressed in luxurious clothing was trying his best to persuade her. However, a young man in a yellow take-out suit was standing in front of him with an indifferent face, not moving at all.

It was clear that no oil or salt would enter.

The attitude of the young man made the luxurious old man feel somewhat helpless.

After a long while, the old man sighed, "Young Master, it has been three years. No matter how deep the hatred between us, it should be gone by now …"

"It has dimmed down?"

The corner of the young man's mouth raised into a sneer: "Lin Zhong, who told you that the hatred of killing your mother will fade in three years?!"

"Young master, that's not what I meant..." Lin Zhong was stunned at first and then quickly opened his mouth to explain. However, he was mercilessly interrupted by the youth: "I don't care what you mean!"

"Anyway, I'll tell you."

"Not to mention three years, it would take thirty years, three hundred years, or even three thousand years!"

"The hatred of killing my mother cannot be forgiven!"

"As long as I, Lin Yi, am still alive in this world, I will never forget the grudge of killing my mother!"

Lin Zhong's mouth was agape. Obviously, he did not expect Lin Yi's attitude to be so firm.

After a long while, he smiled bitterly, "Young Master, why are you so stubborn? You should know that your mother's death is a secret …"

"Secret? Now you want to tell me the secret?! " Lin Yi was furious, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Three years ago, mother was very sick. When I knelt in front of the Lin Family's gate like a dog and begged your Lin Family members to save my mother, what did they say?!"

"Young master..."

"Let my mother die!" "Don't bring misfortune to the Lin Clan!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot. The scene from three years ago, he would never forget it!

His mother was severely ill. He knelt in front of the Lin Clan members like a dog, begging them to save his mother's life.

However, all the members of the Lin Clan had extremely cold and indifferent expressions!

Not only was there no one who helped her, there were even many who were angry at their mother!

In the end, his mother died of a disease!

It was only when his mother died that Lin Yi realized how lowly his illegitimate child was in the Lin Family. He was not even comparable to a worm!

That day, Lin Yi left the Lin Family.

On that day, Lin Yi swore that one day, he would definitely return to the Lin Clan and use his absolute strength to make all members of the Lin Clan kneel in front of their mother's grave to repent!

After leaving the Lin Family, Lin Yi was chased by a group of people the next day. If it wasn't for Xiao Weiguo saving him, he would have been turned into a corpse long time ago.

Without even thinking, it was clear that the people chasing after him were related to the Lin Clan.

After three years, the Lin Clan appeared once again.

However, Lin Yi did not expect that the purpose of the Lin Family's appearance this time was to let him return to the Lin Family to control the overall situation of the Lin Family.

Ridiculous!

How laughable!

The Lin Clan's third generation was flourishing, and there were a total of 300 over heirs!

These more than three hundred children were all dragons and phoenixes among men.

Since when was it his turn as an illegitimate child to inherit the Lin Clan?

"Sigh …" Lin Zhong sighed heavily. Lin Yi's attitude was so firm, there was no point in continuing to persuade him.

"Since Young Master does not wish to return, then this old servant will not force Young Master."

"However, young master please accept this Black Gold Card." As Lin Zhong said this, he took out a bank card with black patterns and handed it over to Lin Yi.

"This old servant knows that for the past three years, Young Master's Xiao Family has not been good. He has suffered a lot, and he has also suffered a lot of ostracism."

"This card has one billion."

"This one billion was given by the old master. Although it can't make up for the grievances the young master has suffered these past three years, it's just a small token of the old master's appreciation. I beg the young master …"

"Scram!"

Without waiting for Lin Zhong to finish, Lin Yi slapped away the card in Lin Zhong's hand.

Looking coldly at Lin Zhong, Lin Yi said word by word:

"I, Lin Yi, don't need to be compensated!"

"Nothing can make up for the grievances I've suffered!"

"Take Lin Zhennan's good intentions. Here!" Me! "Scram!"

With that, Lin Yi immediately turned around and left.

Lin Zhong, who was left behind, looked astonished.

Due to Lin Zhong's interruption, the takeout in Lin Yi's hands didn't arrive to his customers on time in the end.

Lin Yi walked out of the district with his face covered in dirt after being scolded so harshly.

"Lin Yi, what are you doing here?" After walking a few steps, a tall woman appeared in front of Lin Yi. The woman wore a light blue lapel and waist dress, revealing her delicate and fair arms. Her elegant neck was covered in a thin chain of platinum necklaces and her temperament was very cold.

This woman was Lin Yi's wife, Xiao Muxue.

"Muxue …"

When Lin Yi saw Xiao Muxue, his mind went blank for a moment, then he realized that Xiao Muxue was asking, so he quickly replied, "Muxue, I'm here to deliver takeaway …"

"Giving out takeout?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Muxue's brows furrowed in displeasure. "Why are you still giving out takeouts at this time? Don't you know what day it is? "

Lin Yi's mouth gaped open, only then did he recall that Xiao Muxue had told him yesterday that today was the Xiao Family's ancestral worship ceremony, and that everyone in the Xiao Family must go to the ancestral shrine to pay their respects.

Seeing that Lin Yi had reacted, the disappointment in Xiao Muxue's eyes deepened. Even her expression became ice-cold: "Come with me to the ancestral shrine. The ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin."

To the Ancestral Temple?

Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at his yellow clothes. He couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He hadn't changed his clothes even though the delivery had just ended and Lin Zhong had delayed him for a while.

Since the ancestral worship ceremony was such a serious activity, he naturally could not wear such conspicuous clothes.

"Muxue, can you wait for me to go home and change?" Lin Yi said in embarrassment.

"What did you do?!" Didn't I tell you yesterday that today, we are going to pay respects to our ancestors? " Xiao Muxue was slightly angry.

"I... I forgot. " Lin Yi lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.

"Forget it, there's no need to change. No one will be paying attention to you anyways. Just leave. Grandpa and the others are already waiting." Xiao Muxue said impatiently. In her heart, she was getting more and more dissatisfied with Lin Yi since he could even forget such an important matter.

"Alright... "Alright." Lin Yi wanted to say something, but since Xiao Muxue had already turned around and left, he had no choice but to follow her.

The Xiao Family was a famous Prominent Class at the time of the Donglin City. Ancestral ancestor Xiao Boong was once the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Since the creation of the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family had passed through more than two thousand years of spring and autumn.

In recent years, even though the Xiao Family had declined and was no longer as grand as it was in the past, in the east, no one dared to look down on the Xiao Family.

The Triennial Ancestral Worship Ceremony was also one of the most important activities of the Xiao Family.

When he and Xiao Muxue arrived at the Ancestral Shrine, Lin Yi found that there were already a lot of people inside.

Xiao Muxue took a deep breath and walked towards the Ancestral Shrine. Lin Yi followed behind, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by a big hand.

"Wait! Lin Yi, what are you doing in there? " The young man who stopped Lin Yi was called Xiao Haochen, he was Xiao Muxue's cousin. At this moment, Xiao Haochen had his arms crossed in front of his chest and a teasing look was written all over his face.

"Sacrifice." Lin Yi looked at Xiao Haochen in confusion. At the ancestral worship ceremony, all of the Xiao Family participants must be present. Since he had joined Xiao Family, he could naturally be considered a part of it.

"Sacrifice?" Xiao Haochen sneered: "Which ancestor did you worship? The one being worshipped here is the ancestor of my Xiao Family, what does that have to do with you? "

The other meaning in his words was that Lin Yi was an outsider and not worthy of entering the Xiao Family Ancestral Temple.

"Xiao Haochen!" "What do you mean?" Xiao Muxue's pretty face turned cold.

Xiao Haochen glanced at Xiao Muxue and slyly said, "It's not interesting. The Xiao Family Ancestral Hall. Outsiders and dogs are not allowed to enter."

If what he had said before was just a taunt, then this sentence that outsiders and dogs were not allowed to enter was a naked humiliation.

Lin Yi didn't care, he had met a much stronger humiliation than this before.

However, Xiao Muxue was quite angered by Xiao Haochen's words. No matter what, Lin Yi was her legal husband. Now that Xiao Haochen said Lin Yi was a dog in front of everyone, how could she bear it?

"Lin Yi is my husband, what right do you have to say that he's an outsider!" Xiao Muxue's beautiful eyes were spitting fire as she glared at Xiao Haochen.

"Your husband? "Hahaha."

As if he heard some huge joke, Xiao Haochen laughed heartily: "Xiao Muxue, you touched your own conscience and said, do you really take this trash as your husband? "Don't think that I don't know. You've been married for three years and you haven't even slept with each other."

Married for three years without even going to bed?

"Hua!"

Xiao Haochen's words were like a bomb thrown into a calm water surface, causing a huge uproar amongst the relatives in Xiao Family.

"Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing! This trash has been married to Xiao Muxue for three years and hasn't even slept with her. How did he do that?"

"Is there a need to say it? There must be a problem in that aspect."

"So it turns out that there's a problem in that aspect. No wonder."

Xiao Muxue felt an indescribable discomfort. Indeed, she had been married to Lin Yi for three years, and forget about going to bed, she hadn't even held hands with him for a few times. She thought that only a small portion of people knew about this, but today, everyone from the Xiao Family knew.

"Muxue, you go in first. I suddenly remember that there's still a takeout." After all, he was already used to it, but he did not want Lili to be implicated by him.

Seeing Lin Yi pretend not to care, Xiao Muxue's heart ached for some reason. After being married for three years, although she had never treated Lin Yi as her husband, Lin Yi was very good to her. No matter whether it was windy or rainy, Lin Yi would always pick her up to work on time.

In front of her, this man seemed to be completely heartless. He would never be angry, and would only cater to her and take care of her …

And now, in order to not embarrass her, he had never been angry even when she ridiculed him in such a manner. Xiao Muxue's beautiful eyes were misted with tears. "Why are you being so nice to me …"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and turned around to leave. He knew that if he continued to stand here, he would only be asking for humiliation.

However, just as he turned around, a resolute and decisive voice rang out from behind him, "He will enter, I will enter!"

The moment he finished, Lin Yi felt that his hand was being held tightly by another soft hand.

The people from Xiao Family were all stunned, Xiao Muxue did not have a fever, right? Meaning that if Lin Yi didn't enter the Ancestral Temple, you also won't enter?
