Chapter 53: Do you want to change?
Peng Yuan didn't know why he disliked Lin Siyao.
He admitted that Lin Siyao was very beautiful, but this profit-driven woman's actions after entering the door were not pleasing.
It can even be said that everyone in the Peng family dislikes it very much.
Because Lin Siyao talks about money everywhere and asks for things at every turn.
It’s all about consumption, and people are addicted to luxury goods every day.
At such a young age, he doesn't even want a career anymore.
It is obvious that she could have developed well as a singer, but after getting married, she stopped accepting any announcements.
He doesn’t even maintain his own social media, and his fans are left out.
Every day I play cards, go to nightclubs, drink and shop.
Peng Yuan's interest in her only lasted a few days, and after that he started to dislike her.
Peng Yuan, drunken, rudely pushed Lin Siyao away, appearing a little impatient.
He walked over slowly and glanced at Xie Nancheng.
He glanced at the woman next to Xie Nancheng again, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Boss Xie has a really good eye for picking women."
"Not as good as Mr. Peng." Xie Nancheng's words were purely a mockery of him.
"Ayuan, you and Nancheng are the same. You are all family members and there is no need to give gifts." Mrs. Lin was in a dilemma and could only appease the two so-called sons-in-law.
"Mom, you only celebrate your birthday once a year. Even if you say that, they won't really say nothing. The Xie and Peng families are both top wealthy families in Xiangcheng. If you do this, won't it be even more difficult for them?"
Lin Chen is going all out today. He doesn't care about his reputation, but he still has to be polite.
In his opinion, the gifts given by the Xie and Peng families must be worth several million.
Xie Nancheng sighed slightly, "Boss Lin is right, I really can't come here empty-handed, I have to carry the things up."
Xie Nancheng waved his hand, and the two security guards ready at the door carried the things in.
It looked like a huge thing, covered with a red cloth.
Lin Chen didn't know why, but when his right eyelid twitched, he felt that something was wrong.
"Open it." Xie Nancheng ordered.
The two security guards immediately pulled away the red cloth, causing an uproar in the audience.
"This is a unique root carving, the culmination of the work of Professor Li, a master of root carving. I photographed it a few days ago and plan to give it to Mother Lin as a token of my filial piety. This carving is made of huanghuali wood, and not only is the craftsmanship unique in China, it also symbolizes longevity, with trees living for hundreds of years, a truly auspicious symbol. It's also a token of our Xie family's appreciation. How can I value Mother Lin's birthday banquet with money? Of course, I have to give her a special gift."
There was indeed applause from everyone around; the sculpture was indeed beautiful.
A root carving of this level must be worth several million. The Xie family is indeed not short of money.
But Lin Chen is worse...
He never dreamed that the Xie family would give him this thing, and he really couldn't cash it in.
Who else would buy this crap besides him?
Lin Chen's face suddenly darkened...
Mrs. Lin could only grit her teeth and praise, "Good boy, thank you Nancheng for your kindness."
"Does Mother Lin like it?" Xie Nancheng asked deliberately.
“I like it very much.”
"If you like it, you must keep it forever. Don't sell it. It's too precious."
"How can I sell the things that Nancheng gave me?" Mrs. Lin could only smile.
Tu Ran was watching the fun from the side and almost laughed out loud.
Because she knew that after Xie Nancheng said this in front of so many people at the birthday party, it would be difficult for Lin Chen to sell anything in the future. Selling her own birthday party gifts would be like going crazy. She really had no words to express her suffering.
"Since Mr. Xie has expressed his feelings, what about Mr. Peng..." Lin Chen had completely given up on Xie Nancheng. He knew that this man would not pluck out his hair anymore, and that was the end of it.
We can only focus on Peng Yuan. The Peng family was indeed wronged.
Because Peng Yuan and Lin Siyao and Tu Ran had a flash marriage, the Peng family also spent a lot of money.
From the sky-high bride price to some wedding expenses, the Peng family spent several times more than the Xie family.
Moreover, even after Lin Siyao got married, she still wanted to make money at every turn, and it was no wonder that she treated him as a big victim.
"Ah, I'm ready too. Come, Mom, this is a gift I prepared for you."
Peng Yuan, reeking of alcohol, pulled out a red envelope with gold inlay from his pocket.
"No need, Ayuan, the thought is what matters most." Mrs. Lin pretended to refuse.
"Take it, Mom. It's a gift from Ayuan." Lin Siyao hurriedly took the red envelope and put it in her mother's hand.
"Mom, please open it and take a look."
"This... let's look at it later." Mrs. Lin didn't feel comfortable opening it in front of everyone.
"No, you open it now. I want you to know that my Peng family is not inferior to the Xie family."
Peng Yuan didn't know whether he was really drunk or just pretending to be drunk.
Suddenly, he pointed at Xie Nancheng and started calling out numbers...
Xie Nancheng had a smile on his face, ready to watch the fun.
Mrs. Lin was carried up there. She had no choice but to open the door, fearing that her drunken son-in-law would cause trouble.
Everyone thought the red envelope contained a bank card or a check, because judging by its thickness, it definitely wasn't cash.
Unexpectedly, after Mrs. Lin opened it, she found that there was indeed a bill inside, but it was not a check.
"This is..." Mrs. Lin was a little confused.
"Mom, this is the bond our company's partner gave us. I'm giving it to you today. When the partner pays me back, I'll give you a share of the principal and interest. Are you happy?"
Bonds? The Lin family was stunned. They had never expected this.
Xie Nancheng at least gave something tangible, but Peng Yuan just gave him a blank check.
Every year, there are a lot of companies that owe debts. Some of them cannot pay back and are directly given bonds. Everyone knows that this kind of thing is too illusory. If the other company goes bankrupt, it is just a blank piece of paper like air. What’s the use?
If you really want to give money, wouldn’t it be better to just give it directly?
This bond is a slap in the face of the Lin family.
"Peng Yuan, what do you mean?" Lin Chen asked with a dark face, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'm giving this as a gift to my mother. Why, do you dislike it?"
"Then why don't you despise the tens of millions of dollars I gave Lin Siyao as a betrothal gift when I married her?"
"I bought so much gold, why don't you feel bad about it?"
"Just for your birthday, you want mountains of gold and silver?" Peng Yuan said sarcastically.
"Ayuan, that's not the case. He didn't mean that. Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Just say whatever you want. If you don't want it, give it back to me."
After Peng Yuan finished speaking, he snatched the bill from Mrs. Lin's hand and put it back in his pocket.
"Ayuan..." Lin Siyao was also anxious, as many of her friends came today.
But she was also very embarrassed by Peng Yuan's drunken outburst.
"Shut up! How dare you talk like that? I really don't know what happened to my brain to let myself be tricked by a woman like you."
After scolding Lin Siyao, Peng Yuan still felt unsatisfied, so he turned around and looked at Xie Nancheng.
"Mr. Xie is lucky to have escaped a disaster."
"Thank you." Xie Nancheng shamelessly adjusted his tie and continued Peng Yuan's words.
Peng Yuan glanced at Tu Ran beside Xie Nancheng again, and said with a lustful thought, "Boss Xie, how about we switch?"
After saying this, everyone held their breath...
All eyes were on Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran, including Gu Xixing, who had been standing in the corner watching the excitement for a long time with mixed feelings. He didn't expect that the girl he had just been interested in was actually Xie Nancheng's woman.
