In front of the stove, only Chu Hee was busy.

Joyful laughter echoed from the living room as Chu Hee's father-in-law and mother-in-law chatted happily with Zhang Kai.

They were both sons-in-law of the Lin family, but Chu Hee was considered inferior to him.

Chu Hee came from an ordinary family and had no decent job. He had always been looked down upon by the Lin family.

He was the one doing all the dirty and tiring work at home.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win the favor of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Chu Hee's father-in-law, Lin Guangzhi, was now squinting and smiling, saying, "Zhang Kai, my wife and I have always liked you and Xiaoyu. We're planning to have a good talk with your father about your future."

Xiaoyu's full name was Lin Fengyu; she was Chu Hee's wife's sister.

Zhang Kai was Lin Fengyu's current boyfriend. Their relationship had developed rapidly, and they had reached the stage of discussing marriage in less than two months since they had met.

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "No problem, Uncle. My family is available anytime. It depends on your and Aunt's arrangement."

Coincidentally, Chu Hee's last dish was ready. He took one plate at a time and went back and forth between the living room and the kitchen. Before long, the dining table was filled with delicious dishes.

"Dad, Mom, lunch is ready."

Zhang Kai asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Xiaoyu glanced and smiled sarcastically, saying, "He's my brother-in-law, broke and unemployed. He's just a waste in the family."

Lin Fengyu's words were harsh. Even in front of outsiders, she did not show any mercy. Hearing this, Chu Hee was both angry and helpless.

Even though he was Xiaoyu's brother-in-law, he held no position in the family. Moreover, Xiaoyu was the beloved daughter of two elders and was quite spoiled, so he didn't dare to offend her.

Besides, today Lin Fengyu's fiancé was also present. If any conflict arose between them because of him, it was likely that his wife, Lin Fengxue, would also be in a difficult situation.

Lin Fengyu suddenly said, "It's almost dinner time, and my sister hasn't arrived home yet? Mom, does my sister know that I brought my boyfriend home today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Fengxue opened the door and appeared at the entrance. Lin Fengxue was dressed in a black professional outfit.

"I'm sorry, I got delayed at work, so I came back late."

Zhang Kai was surprised and his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Xiaoyu, is this your sister? Your family has excellent genes; both sisters are so beautiful."

"Hello, sister, I'm Xiaoyu's boyfriend. My name is Zhang Kai."

"Hello. Xiaoyu has a good eye; her boyfriend is truly handsome and remarkable."

Lin Fengxue was in the prime of her youth; she was only twenty-five years old, with long legs, a slender waist, and a perfect figure. Furthermore, her facial features were exquisite, making her a rare beauty.

Lin Guangzhi smiled and invited everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let's all sit down, eat, and chat."

They all took their seats. Chu Hee and Lin Fengxue sat side by side. He put a piece of chicken into Lin Fengxue's bowl.

"Try this; it's the coke chicken wings I specially made for you today."

When Lin Fengyu saw this, she picked up a chicken wing with her chopsticks, took a bite, and immediately spat it out on the table.

"These chicken wings taste terrible! Chu Hee, are these chicken wings not fresh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengxue took a bite as well but she didn't find anything wrong with the chicken wings.

"How could that be? Xiaoyu, these chicken wings are perfectly normal."

Lin Fengyu picked up a piece of cabbage, put it in her mouth, and then spat it out.

"This cabbage isn't cooked properly, it's too hard to swallow."

Putting down her chopsticks, Lin Fengyu proudly said, "Do you know about the Heaven Look Hotel? It's a five-star hotel, and the head chef there was hired from abroad. The food they make is exceptionally delicious! And it's part of Zhang Kai's family business."

Zhang Kai immediately added, "That's just a restaurant owned by my family. Since Xiaoyu doesn't like these dishes, why don't we go to my family's hotel? I'll have the chef prepare some signature dishes for you."

Chu Hee's face turned sour. He understood that Lin Fengyu was deliberately belittling him.

In the past, Lin Fengyu had always enjoyed the meals he cooked and praised them highly. Today, she was doing this to show off that her boyfriend's family owned a hotel.

Seeing the situation, Lin Fengxue quickly said, "Chu Hee worked hard to prepare this meal. It would be a waste not to eat it. How about we go another day? Let's make do for today."

Min furrowed her brow. She felt that Chu Hee had embarrassed the Lin family in front of outsiders, so she angrily said, "Chu Hee, what can I even say to you? If you can't earn money, that's one thing, but now you can't even cook. What can you do?"

Zhang Kai reached for a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a moment, he commented, "Indeed, this meal is a bit poorly cooked. After Xiaoyu and I get married, we'll be family. If Chu Hee is willing, I can have our hotel's head chef take him on as an apprentice. This way, you can improve your cooking skills and earn some money. It's a win-win."

Lee Min glanced at Chu Hee from the corner of her eye and said, "You should thank Zhang Kai."

Chu Hee gritted his teeth in anger. Zhang Kai's actions may have seemed well-intentioned, but he was actually mocking him.

Lin Fengxue reached out and gently patted Chu Hee's hand on the back. Only then did he finally calm down.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I don't want to go."

"You don't want to go? Is it because the pay is too low?" Lin Fengyu's eyes widened. "Look at yourself, living like a beggar. From the time you got married until now, have you spent a single penny on my sister? And you dare to be picky here?"

As Lin Fengyu spoke, she pulled out the dazzling necklace from around her neck.

"This is the diamond necklace Zhang Kai gave me. The price of this necklace is beyond your imagination! After all, when my sister married you, she didn't even receive a diamond ring. After you got married, you've been freeloading off my family and haven't earned a penny!"

"Xiaoyu, shut up!"

Lin Fengxue frowned, her face showing some embarrassment. Even if Chu Hee was useless, he was still her husband!

Zhang Kai hasn't married Lin Fengyu yet; he was still an outsider.

In front of outsiders, ridiculing Chu Hee was equivalent to ridiculing her.

"Your brother-in-law has always treated you well. What's gotten into you today? Have you forgotten who held an umbrella for you and took you to the hospital when you broke your leg on a rainy day?"

Lin Fengyu coldly snorted, "So what? If he had money and a car, would he still need to carry me to the hospital?"

"In the future, whether it's raining or I'm not feeling well, Zhang Kai will be there to drive me. Right, Zhang Kai?"

Zhang Kai beamed with joy and said, "Of course, after we get married, I'll get you a car."

"Wow, dear, you're so good!"

Lin Fengyu leaned in and kissed Zhang Kai on the cheek in front of everyone.

"These dishes are really hard to swallow. I think the two of us should go out to eat."

Lin Fengyu stood up, and Zhang Kai followed suit.

"Dad, Mom, don't wait for me. I might not come back anytime soon." The two of them then left.

Lin Guangzhi helplessly said, "Alright, let's eat."

Lee Min slammed the chopsticks on the table and angrily said, "I'm furious!"

Lin Fengxue let out a long sigh and hugged Chu Hee's arm. Her expression was as gentle as water as she comforted him.

"Honey, don't be angry. Xiaoyu doesn't usually behave like this."

Chu Hee smiled and said, "It's okay."

Lin Fengxue stood up and grabbed her bag to leave.

"There's still work at the office, so I'll go ahead. We can watch a movie together tonight."

Chu Hee nodded with a smile.

Watching Lin Fengxue leave, Chu Hee silently cleaned up the dining table.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and a text message appeared on the screen.

"Young Master Chu Hee, your punishment period is over, and the restrictions have been lifted."

"All your accounts have been unfrozen. If you need assistance, you can contact the family."
