C2 Cataclysm

"Xiao Muxue, are you going to betray the Xiao Family because of an outsider?" Xiao Haochen's expression was somewhat gloomy. He never thought that Xiao Muxue would say such outrageous words for Lin Yi.

It had to be known that the ancestral worship ceremony was one of the most important events in the Xiao Family. Every time one sacrificed for the Ancestor, everyone in the Xiao Family had to be present.

If the descendants of Xiao Family do not worship their ancestors, then they are unfilial!

If Xiao Muxue had not entered the Ancestral Shrine today, with Patriarch Xiao Yunsheng's temper, he might have directly expelled Xiao Muxue from the Xiao Family!

Thus, the nature of this matter could only be described as serious.

Xiao Haochen was indecisive and was unable to back down.

If Xiao Muxue was really expelled from the Xiao Family, it wouldn't be an easy task for him either, because there was no rule in the Xiao Family that a son-in-law wasn't allowed to worship. His actions today were purely because he disliked Lin Yi.

However, he could not let Lin Yi in just like that. After all, he just said that outsiders and dogs were not allowed to enter.

But in the blink of an eye, he let Lin Yi in. Didn't that mean that Xiao Haochen couldn't even manage a single son-in-law?

The atmosphere turned into a stalemate.

At this moment, Lin Yi stood forward …

"Muxue, go in, cousin brother is right, this place is to worship your Xiao Family's ancestor. My surname is Lin, it is indeed inappropriate to enter and pay respects." Between Xiao Muxue and Xiao Haochen, one of them had to give in, or both of them would be punished.

However, there was no doubt that Xiao Muxue would be punished even more severely. Lin Yi naturally did not want to see Xiao Muxue being expelled from the Lin Family because of him. At this time, he could only stand up and admit his mistake.

Even if admitting defeat was very embarrassing, even if admitting defeat would make people look down on him even more, Lin Yi was still willing to do it.

For Xiao Muxue's sake, he could let go of all his dignity.

"Lin Yi …" Xiao Muxue's beautiful eyes turned red. She naturally understood who was the reason why Lin Yi compromised. But the more it was like this, the more unwilling she was and the more she felt that she had let Lin Yi down.

"Alright, I'll go and send you out to eat. Come back early tonight." Lin Yi pretended to be relaxed. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Even though he had been humiliated by Xiao Haochen, at this moment, Lin Yi's mood was surprisingly calm. He even felt a little happy because Xiao Muxue had just said, "He's in, I'll enter!"

This was the first time in three years that Xiao Muxue had stood by his side and firmly chose him.

With these words, Lin Yi felt that all the grievances he suffered was worth it!

After Lin Yi left the Xiao Family Ancestral Temple, Xiao Haochen let out a breath of relief. He was really afraid that Xiao Muxue would continue fighting with him and even if they chased Xiao Muxue out of the Xiao Family, he wouldn't be in a good situation.

Fortunately, this piece of trash, Lin Yi, was weak and useless as usual. Being humiliated like this, he didn't even dare to fart, Xiao Haochen thought happily.

Xiao Muxue, on the other hand, was a bit absent-minded. She started to wonder what exactly Lin Yi's position in her heart was …

After the takeout was over, Lin Yi returned home and started cooking.

His culinary skills were quite good. Three years ago, he was taken in by Xiao Weiguo and relied on his culinary skills to gain Xiao Weiguo's recognition.

In Xiao Weiguo's words, men who could cook were all good men.

At that time, Xiao Muxue also had a good impression of him, and with Xiao Weiguo's help, he quickly became Xiao Family's son-in-law.

However, after marriage, many contradictions slowly broke out.

Xiao Weiguo was not valued much in the Xiao Family, and the family business was getting worse. Lin Yi did not have much talent in business, nor could he help Xiao Weiguo.

His family life was getting more and more miserable, and his mother-in-law, Jiang Lan, was getting more and more dissatisfied with Lin Yi. She often scolded Lin Yi for being useless and felt that Lin Yi was not worthy of Xiao Muxue.

If not for Lin Yi, with Xiao Muxue's beauty, she would definitely marry into a rich family.

Lin Yi could not refute this as he was an illegitimate child. He had no money and no education, so he could not compare to Xiao Muxue, a beauty who had graduated from a famous university and worked as a school beauty for four years.

The only thing he could give Xiao Muxue was a sincere heart.

However, in this world, sincerity was often the most worthless thing.

After bringing the prepared dishes onto the table, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Usually, Xiao Weiguo and his wife would have already come back at this hour. Why were they so slow today?

At this moment, a phone call rang.

"Wuuu, Lin Yi, my dad …" My dad got hit by a car... "

Lin Yi's expression changed drastically. It was Xiao Muxue's voice on the phone. However, the news that came out left Lin Yi in disbelief.

My father-in-law got into a car accident?

"Muxue, don't be anxious. I'll be back at once." Lin Yi hurriedly comforted her, then hung up the phone and got on his electric bike to rush to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lin Yi found that Xiao Muxue was sitting on a bench crying silently.

Jiang Lan, his mother-in-law, was walking around outside the emergency room in a hurry.

"Muxue, what's going on?" Lin Yi asked anxiously as he trotted up to Xiao Muxue.

Pow!

Before Xiao Muxue could say anything, Jiang Lan walked over and slapped Lin Yi's face with her palm.

Lin Yi's face instantly burned with pain.

"You still dare to ask what's going on?!" Anger was written all over Jiang Lan's face. "You useless trash, where did you go this afternoon? Why didn't you pick up Old Xiao?"

Lin Yi was stunned. Normally, after Xiao Weiguo got off work, he would be the driver to bring Xiao Weiguo back. Because Xiao Weiguo's leg had been injured before, he was not nimble when driving.

But today, after Xiao Weiguo went to the Xiao Family Ancestral Temple and offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he did not call him.

Lin Yi thought that Xiao Weiguo wouldn't be back today, so he forgot to pick him up.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Lin Yi said apologetically. He did indeed have a responsibility when something happened to Xiao Weiguo.

"Is it any use being sorry? You piece of trash, come to my Xiao Family for three years; Jiang Lan's mood crumbled as she hysterically said, "If anything happens to Old Xiao this time, immediately divorce my daughter and get out of Xiao Family!"

Jiang Lan's voice was very shrill and attracted quite a few people to watch.

After knowing that Lin Yi was a son-in-law, many people started pointing their fingers at Lin Yi.

But at this moment, Lin Yi couldn't care about losing face. Xiao Weiguo was not only his father-in-law, but also his savior. Lin Yi definitely wouldn't let anything happen to Xiao Weiguo.

"Who is the patient's family member?" At this moment, a doctor in a white coat walked over.

"I am, I am." Jiang Lan and Xiao Muxue hurriedly went up to welcome him.

"The patient is currently suffering from massive internal bleeding. The condition is very serious and requires immediate surgery." The middle-aged doctor said solemnly.

Hearing those words, Jiang Lan's vision darkened and she nearly fainted on the spot. Xiao Muxue's face was as pale as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Doctor, please arrange the operation as soon as possible. We can accept whatever the cost is." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

"Alright, sign your name first. After signing, go and pay the operation fee." As the middle-aged doctor spoke, he took out a list of operations and handed a pen to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi picked up the pen and was about to sign his name, but when he saw the fees on the operation list, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Five hundred thousand!

How could there be so many?

"Sign it." Seeing that Lin Yi refused to move the pen, the middle-aged doctor could not help but feel impatient.

Lin Yi's heart was burning with anxiety. But at this moment, where could he go to gather 500,000 yuan?

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Doctor, I don't have that much money for now. Can you operate on my dad first? I …"

"No way!"

Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish speaking, the middle-aged doctor mercilessly interrupted him: "Our hospital doesn't have the rule of getting in the car first before getting the tickets. Go get the money. When are we going to collect it? When are we going to operate on your dad?"

After saying that, the middle-aged doctor turned around and walked away, not giving Lin Yi the slightest chance to open his mouth.

"Trash, trash!"

"What's the use of having trash like you? You can't even take out five hundred thousand at such a critical moment!"

Jiang Lan cursed out in anger. Xiao Muxue also knelt down on the ground, hugging her head and crying bitterly.

Although Xiao Family was a small family with a third string, Xiao Weiguo was the one that received the most attention within the entire Xiao Family. The amount of money he received every year was not even two hundred thousand.

Not long ago, Jiang Lan bought the only room that cost more than a million yuan.

So right now, no one in the entire family could come up with five hundred thousand to save their own lives.

Looking at Xiao Muxue crying and hugging her head, Lin Yi was extremely worried.

Money, it was all because of money!

because he had no money, he was despised by others!

Now that Xiao Weiguo was in a car accident because he didn't have any money, he was scolded as trash by Jiang Lan in front of everyone!

Lin Yi clenched his fists. Never had he felt that money was so important.

"Muxue, call Cao Hao and ask him to lend you five hundred thousand." At this moment, Jiang Lan spoke coldly.

Hearing that, Lin Yi clenched his fists even tighter, so much so that his nails were embedded into his palms.

What could be more humiliating than this?

Since his father-in-law was in trouble and he couldn't help, his mother-in-law asked her wife to call another man in front of him.

Hehe...

Lin Yi laughed at himself and immediately turned around to leave.

Looking at Lin Yi's dejected back, a trace of disappointment that had never been seen before flashed across Xiao Muxue's red eyes.

Was this the man he had chosen?

If something happened, he wouldn't even have the courage to face it and would only avoid it.

"Hurry up and fight. Do you really think that trash can produce five hundred thousand for you?" Seeing that Xiao Muxue was still hesitating, Jiang Lan urged her on.

"Alright, I'll call." Xiao Muxue took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice. Making this phone call also meant that she owed Cao Hao a favor. From today onwards, she would not be able to refuse Cao Hao's pursuit …
