C23 The Gift be False?

After all, the car parked directly in front of the entrance to the house was Chen Junsheng's car!

Zhouyang did not expect Chen Junsheng to come to the Xie Family house so early.

Unable to stand the sight of that bastard, he even had the thought of turning around and leaving. However, After thinking about how submissive he had been for so many years to that point that almost everyone in the Xie Family began looking down on him, he began despising himself for almost succumbing to his previous self once again.

Now, he was no longer the weak son-in-law that he used to be. He no longer needed to suffer from those grievances!

Zhouyang , without saying anything, slowly walked up the stairs to the entrance of the Xie Family's house.

Standing in front of the door, Zhouyang could clearly hear the louds noises coming from inside the room.

*Knock* *Knock*

Zhouyang knocked on the door.

After a few moments, the door flipped open. Xie Lingyu, opening the door, looked at Zhouyang in surprise. She didn't expect Zhouyang to come.

Zhouyang saw the surprise in her eyes and felt as if a sword had pierced through his heart. This used to be his home, but now, Xie Lingyu was surprised that he even came back.

"Lingyu, who is it?"

Mrs. Zhou's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Xie Lingyu said softly.

Zhouyang endured his heartache and walked into the room with heavy steps.

"How come it's you? Zhouyang, what are you doing here? "

Seeing that it was Zhouyang, Mrs. Zhou's voice suddenly rose a few pitches higher as she looked at Zhouyang in surprise and with disdain.

"Hey, isn't that Zhouyang? For his mother-in-law's birthday, how come he arrived so late into the party?"

"That's right, it can't be that he's not doing so well and doesn't have to face to show himself, right? Haha."

"Junsheng is still the best. He is young, handsome, and even has a successful career. I must say, I don't know what Lingyu was thinking back then to insist on marrying Zhouyang instead."

"..."

At this moment, there were seven or eight relatives of the Xie Family in the room.

When they saw Zhouyang, they began mocking and insulting him with words of disdain.

And the one standing in the middle of them was the bastard, Chen Junsheng.

At this moment, Chen Junsheng looked at Zhouyang gloomily. A trace of anger flashed across his eyes. He stood up and smiled at Zhouyang, "Brother Zhou, I thought you weren't going to come back home."

Zhouyang looked at Chen Junsheng who was putting on an act as the feeling of utter disgust surged through his entire being.

"Zhouyang, didn't you say you have the cause to divorce Linyu back then? If that's the case, why did you bother coming back?"

When Mrs. Xie saw Zhouyang, she got angry and said with an ear-piercing voice.

"Could it be that you realized that if you leave our Xie Family, you'll be unable to take care of yourself and your sick mother?"

"Let me tell you, even if you don't want to get divorced, Lingyu will definitely get divorced from you. To want to continue taking money from our Xie Family. Dream on!"

Mrs. Xie's attitude was very unyielding. She didn't even give Zhouyang a chance to speak. She sat on the sofa with her hands crossed in front of her chest like some sort of queen sitting on her throne.

Zhouyang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

At first, he had some delusions about Mrs. Xie, thinking that both parties would be able to calm down after a few days.

But from the looks of it, Mrs. Xie didn't want to stay calm in his presence at all.

"Don't worry, I have no intentions on relying on your Xie Family any longer, and I'm not here to ask for money either."

"It's just that my mom said it's your birthday and told me to come celebrate it with you."

"Since you don't welcome me so much, there's no need for me to be in your presence anymore. This is a gift I bought for you. Don't expect me to come back in the future."

Zhouyang said coldly as he placed the jade bracelet in front of Mrs. Xie.

As for the other box, Xie Lingyu had placed it in front of her.

"Lingyu, this is a gift for you. We've been married for so long, yet I haven't given you anything as your husband. Consider this gift my compensation."

"Preposterous! To celebrate my birthday? You're sending me away with this piece of junk? Zhouyang, I'm warning you, from now on, don't get any closer to Lingyu! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mrs. Xie simply looked down on Zhouyang's gift.

"Hehe, Auntie, there's no need to be angry. I think Brother Zhou did it unintentionally."

Chen Junsheng said with a smile, but did not hide the sarcasm in his words in the slightest.

"I also have a present for Auntie today, and I hope that Auntie will like it."

Chen Junsheng, his heart filled with anger and pride, glanced menacingly at Zhouyang.

Even if he knew that Zhouyang was now a shareholder in Fame Corporation, he would obviously not mention it right now. Furthermore, Xie Lingyu would not mention it either with that personality of hers. In that case, Mrs. Xie will definitely not know of this fact.

Aside from that, Chen Junsheng believed that Zhouyang was just blessed with good luck and coincidentally made a small fortune.

There was no way Zhouyang could compare to him.

"Junsheng is being considerate."

"That's right. Hurry up and open it to see what's inside."

Seeing Chen Junsheng give out the gift, the few relatives from Xie Family immediately revealed looks of envy and impatiently urged Mrs. Xie to open the gift.

Mrs. Xie let out a big smile as she opened Chen Junsheng's present.

"Wah! It's so beautiful!"

"Yeah, I'm afraid this jade bracelet is quite expensive."

"Look, this is a bangle made from Jade Pavilion that is worth at least a hundred thousand yuan. Junsheng is so filial, definitely much better than that good-for-nothing brat."

A few of them spoke words of praise for Chen Junsheng.

As for Zhouyang, he was belittled and insulted by all of them.

"Oh yeah, didn't that good-for-nothing Zhouyang also give you a present? I'm curious about what exactly he gave as his gift. It can't be that he bought it from a random stall at the side of a street, right?"

"Hmph! It'll just be a piece of junk. What's there to look at?"

However, Mrs. Xie didn't seem to be interested in Zhouyang's gift at all.

"Tch, it must be a piece of junk, it's not worth anything at all!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe he made the gift himself, haha."

The crowd burst into laughter. They didn't even look at the gift.

However, when Mrs. Xie casually opened the box, everyone's gawked and let out gasps in response.

In the box was a jade-green bracelet. Compared to the bracelet that Chen Junsheng gave him, it was much brighter and deeper.

"Eh? Isn't this Jade Pavilion's bracelet? "

"It's true, there's a Jade Pavilion symbol on it? Could it be that this kid has earned a fortune?"

"I've seen this jade bracelet before. It's worth at least six hundred thousand!"

Everyone was bewildered, but they did not want to believe that it was true.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, why are you doing this? There is a special certificate for the jewelry produced by Jade Pavilion. If you want to disguise it, you should at least make it look more real."

Chen Junsheng's face trembled slightly as a trace of menace flashed in his eyes.

How could he not see that this was a a genuine bracelet created by Jade Pavilion and that it was even better than the one he gave?

"So it's a fake... I knew it. How could he possibly have money?"

"Hmph! Oh, Lingyu, look at your husband. The birthday present for mother-in-law is fake and not even as good as Junsheng's gift."

Xie Lingyu's relatives looked at the jade bracelet Zhouyang gave them and commented on it. Their faces were filled with disdain.

Zhouyang looked at them indifferently and did not have any intention of explaining whatsoever.

Mrs. Xie and the other aunties did not give him any face when he entered the door. Now, they still treated the genuine jade bracelet that he had chosen as a fake. No matter how good Zhouyang's temper was, he did not want to say a word to these people.

"Zhouyang, who do you think I am? Eating food from my family and living in my house, you still want to use this trash as a present for me? It seems that I was right to want Lingyu to divorce you."

Mrs. Xie sneered and stood up, pulling Xie Lingyu to her side.

"Lingyu, you must divorce this trash today! Look, does he even take me for a mother-in-law? He was actually giving away this kind of trash! Do you really think I'm just collecting junk? "

Mrs. Xie was furious, all her anger directed at Zhouyang.

On the other hand, Zhouyang could only stand there and listen to her insults as Xie Lingyu's husband.

As long as the two of them got divorced, Zhouyang would have to leave the Xie Family!

"Exactly, such a good girl like Lingyu, marrying such an good-for-nothing person is such a waste," Chen Junsheng said on the side.

Zhouyang looked at him coldly and said, "Who do you think you are? You dare to be arrogant in front of me with just your Jun Fa Company? Is your entire company worth more than a project I'm in charge of?"

What?

Once these words came out, the expressions of those relatives in the Xie Family, including Mrs. Xie, changed in a flash.

They always knew that Zhouyang worked at Fame company but was just a small ordinary employee.

He did not have a big salary not did he have any status in the company.

But now, this trash had actually become the person in charge of a project in Fame Corporation?

That was an existence with real power!

For a moment, Mrs. Xie's attitude became a lot more relaxed. She just looked at Zhouyang with suspicion.

"Junsheng, is what he said true? Is this trash really the person in charge of a project in Fame company?"

"That's right, we must have heard it wrongly? What authority does this trash even have? If he really is the person in charge of the Fame company's project, he must quit a bit of power and authority in the company."

Several of the relatives whispered to confirm with Chen Junsheng.

Chen Junsheng snorted with a cold face, not daring to answer.

"Lingyu, is this true?"

Mrs. Xie immediately looked towards Xie Lingyu for an answer.

"Yes."

Xie Lingyu's heart was filled with complicated emotions. She still hadn't figured out what happened yesterday and was still overwhelmed by the sudden change of Zhouyang's identity.

Upon hearing Mrs. Xie's question, she nodded slightly.

"This…"

Seeing that Xie Lingyu knew about this as well, Mrs. Xie and the others were stunned for a moment.

With no time to spare, Mrs. Xie was the first person to react, and a brilliant smile instantly hung on her face.

"Oh, Zhouyang, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had worked hard earlier, Lingyu wouldn't have had to bear such a heavy burden. Your mother-in-law wouldn't have lost her temper at you either, right?"

Mrs. Xie felt her face heat up from the sudden announcement, but at the same time, her gaze towards Zhouyang became even more fervent. If Zhouyang really was the person in charge of Fame, then the six hundred thousand dollar jade bracelet would definitely be real.

Although the bracelet Chen Junsheng gave them was also worth a hundred thousand, the Xie Family could easily be able to afford such an accessory.

However, the jade bracelet that Zhouyang gave was a totally different story. With the price of six hundred thousand, it was easy to differentiate the value of both items.
