C7 Complete Disappointment

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

The ancestral home of the Xiao Family was bustling with noise and excitement.

All kinds of luxurious cars were parked at the entrance. Groups of well-dressed men and women were gathered around as they chatted and laughed.

Compared to this group of people, Jiang Lan and Xiao Muxue in the corner were somewhat out of place.

Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, Jiang Lan became anxious.

"Sofia, why isn't this piece of trash here yet? He didn't run away with that thirty thousand yuan, right? " At this moment, Jiang Lan was regretting that she had not listened to Lili's nonsense yesterday and had handed over the thirty thousand yuan to Lin Yi.

"Mom, Lin Yi isn't that kind of person. If he wanted to run, he would have run away when dad got into a car accident that would cost 500,000 yuan. He wouldn't have waited until now." Xiao Muxue said snappily.

"That might not be true. If he didn't run, why hasn't he appeared yet? "What kind of gift would you like to pick for a day and a night?" Jiang Lan was still suspicious. She kept having the feeling that Lin Yi had taken away the thirty thousand just to get revenge on her for not paying the five hundred thousand.

"Aiyo, isn't this Third Bro's family?" Why isn't there a single man in the family? " Xiao Muxue wanted to say a few words for Lin Yi, but at this moment, a weird voice came from behind.

Xiao Muxue turned around and realized that the one who had spoken was her second aunt, Wang Dongmei.

There was a middle-aged man standing next to Wang Dongmei. His name was Xiao Yunchao, Xiao Muxue's uncle.

"Uncle, aunt …" Xiao Muxue forced a smile as a response.

Her family didn't have a good relationship with Xiao Yunchao's family. Xiao Weiguo wasn't on good terms with Xiao Yunchao, and neither was she with Xiao Haochen.

"Muxue, I know your dad couldn't come when he was in a car accident yesterday, but your husband didn't have a car accident right? Why did he come as well?" Wang Dongmei asked with a mocking smile.

Without waiting for Xiao Muxue to speak, she added, "Do you think that since it's Old Master's birthday, he will lose face even if he comes, so he won't come at all?"

Xiao Muxue frowned, "Aunt, Lin Yi went to buy grandpa a present."

"Buy a gift?" Wang Dongmei scoffed, "You actually let that trash buy a present for the old man! Aren't you afraid of the gift that that trash bought will piss off the old gramps? "

"That's right, Jiang Lan is too much of a prankster. How can she hand over the important task of buying gifts for the old man to a good-for-nothing?"

"Ol 'Three and his family clearly don't want the year-end bonus."

The mockery in the eyes of all the relatives in the Xiao Family was like a knife slashing across Jiang Lan's face, causing her face to burn with a stinging pain.

Xiao Muxue bit her red lips and did not say a word. Ever since Lin Yi had been taken into the Xiao Family, this scene would happen every year during the Old Master's birthday banquet.

Everyone in the Xiao Family was happy to make fun of their family.

"Alright, let's all go in. Let this girl and her girl wait for that good-for-nothing." After Wang Dongmei finished speaking, she took Xiao Yunchao's arm and entered the ancestral residence.

Standing on the spot, Jiang Lan's face had long since turned ashen.

"Damned trash!"

"It's all because of this damned trash!"

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have lost so much face!"

Jiang Lan clenched her teeth and cursed angrily, hating Lin Yi to the bone.

The reason why their lineage wasn't valued highly by the old man was partly because Xiao Weiguo didn't know how to change the rules, but more of the reason was because of Lin Yi!

Lin Yi was too wasteful, and was basically the humiliation of his entire Xiao Family!

He had caused his Xiao Family to lose all face!

A few minutes later, everyone entered the ancestral home.

Only Jiang Lan and Xiao Muxue were left outside the ancestral residence like ghosts.

"This trash really took the money and ran!" Jiang Lan gritted her teeth. She regretted so much that her intestines turned green. He shouldn't have listened to Xiao Muxue and handed the money over to Lin Yi.

"Mom, Lin Yi isn't that kind of person." Xiao Muxue tried her best to defend herself, but the truth was right in front of her.

After another minute, Xiao Muxue still couldn't see Lin Yi.

A trace of disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes. Xiao Muxue sighed and said, "Mom, let's go in."

She wasn't going to wait any longer.

She was completely disappointed in Lin Yi.

"Muxue, I'm sorry I'm late."

At the instant that Xiao Muxue turned around, a sound of gasping could be heard from afar.

Xiao Muxue turned around to see Lin Yi running towards her, panting heavily.

"It's good that you're here."

Xiao Muxue nodded lightly, hoping that she would be able to regain her composure.

However, when her gaze landed on the inferior black plastic bag in Lin Yi's hand, Xiao Muxue frowned. "This is the gift you spent thirty thousand yuan to prepare for grandpa?"

Lin Yi nodded.

Xiao Muxue's face turned sullen. "You spent a day and a night preparing this?"

"What good can this broken plastic bag do?!"

Xiao Muxue was furious. She had thought that Lin Yi would give her a surprise this time.

But in the end, she had overestimated him.

Lin Yi, it's still Lin Yi.

It hadn't changed at all.

"I had originally thought that this birthday banquet would please my grandfather and change the circumstances of our family."

"But now, you've made everything become extravagant hopes."

"Forget it, I won't say anymore."

"No matter how much I tell you, you won't understand."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Muxue walked in with a face full of disappointment.

"I might as well not buy it, it's a waste." Jiang Lan glanced at Lin Yi coldly and turned around to leave as well.

Lin Yi, who was left behind, smiled bitterly.

Xiao Muxue and Jiang Lan only saw the black plastic bag, but not the thing inside.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi stepped into the Xiao Family Ancestral Mansion.

After entering, he found that the table in front of the door was already filled with all kinds of gifts.

Lin Yi reckoned that this was the place to put the birthday present, so he took out the black plastic bag and put it on top.

Lin Yi spoke softly. Naturally, no one cared about his actions.

When the Xiao Family people saw Lin Yi, it was as if they saw the air, and most of them turned a blind eye to Lin Yi.

Some might laugh at Lin Yi, but only at him.

You want them to say a few more words to Lin Yi? Sorry, Lin Yi isn't worthy.

As the birthday feast drew near, Xiao Yunchao stood up with a smile and arranged for the rest of his relatives to take their seats.

However, when almost everyone had taken their seats, Xiao Yunchao did not have any intention of arranging seats for Jiang Lan and Xiao Muxue. It was as if he had completely forgotten about the two of them.

"Brother, where should I sit with Muxue?"

Jiang Lan couldn't help but ask in embarrassment.

Xiao Yunchao waved his hand without even looking at her: "There aren't enough seats. You and Muxue can stand first."

Standing?!

Hearing this, a deep sense of humiliation flashed across Jiang Lan's face. Xiao Muxue also felt slightly embarrassed.

With such a huge Xiao Family, everyone was already sitting down, and the only thing that could make them stand was their mother?
