Before Lin Hai could say anything, Liu Yan sneered.

“Lin Ruoshi, you think too little of the Gao family. We have already investigated very clearly who Ye Xuan is. He is only the security guard of the pharmaceutical branch you are in charge of. His father is a factory manager, and his mother is a teacher. His family background is ordinary.

“At the banquet, the warrior by Gao Longfei’s side was scared off because they thought that a master was protecting Ye Xuan in the dark. But soon, the Gao family will find out the truth. At that time, Ye Xuan and your family will all be finished.”

Lin Hai nodded. “Ruoshi, your aunt is right. Once the Gao family finds out everything, we won’t have a chance to reconcile.”

Lin Ruoshi was highly anxious, but before she could speak, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “There’s no mistake. The Gao family won’t dare to come looking for trouble.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Ye Xuan. Liu Yan then laughed mockingly, “Ye Xuan, do you think the Gao family is afraid of you? You are so naive. I advise you to leave Suzhou and run for your life to avoid the Gao family’s pursuit.”

Lin Fei also said, “Ye Xuan, you have no right to speak. You should leave now!”

Ye Xuan’s eyes moved slightly, but then he laughed, “If I leave, the Lin family will be finished.”

“Hahaha!” Lin Fei laughed. “Ye Xuan, who do you think you are?”

Liu Yan sneered. “Ye Xuan! Quickly cut ties with Ruoshi. If you want to die, then die alone! Don’t implicate the Lin family alongside!”

Ye Xuan said, “You make the Gao family sound like a terrifying beast. Yet, if they’re so terrifying, you can settle this issue with them by spending two million yuan? You’re awesome. How about I give you another two million yuan, and you help me settle this?”

“You..” Liu Yan felt guilty at these words, and her expression became unnatural. “Why should we help you? You’re not a member of the Lin family.”

Lin Fei, who was next to her, also said hurriedly, “That’s right. Even if you give me twenty million yuan, I won’t help you.”

Liu Yan’s tone became lighter. “Ye Xuan, don’t you have any manners to question your elders this way?”

Ye Xuan snorted. “You don’t even acknowledge me and still call yourself an elder. Don’t you have manners?”

“You…” Liu Yan did not expect Ye Xuan to be so eloquent. She was so angry that she almost suffocated.

“What? Shut up!”

Ye Xuan suddenly berated, scaring Liu Yan so much that her face turned pale. 

“You’re just adding insult to injury. You don’t deserve to talk to me. I’m here to visit my future parents-in-law. I don’t have time to listen to you two gossip. This isn’t your house. If you can’t control your mouth, then get lost!”

Liu Yan and Lin Fei did not expect Ye Xuan to suddenly be so overpowering, just like how he had behaved at the banquet. They were stunned and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that the two had shut up, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Hai and put the gift box on the table. “Uncle, it’s my first time here. I’m sorry to disturb you. This gift may be small, but it’s a token of respect. Please accept it.”

Lin Hai glanced at the gift box and then at Ye Xuan. He had a good impression of Ye Xuan already. This person did not seem as bad as Lin Fei and his wife had said.

Finally, Lin Hai said, “Thank you, Ye Xuan.”

At this time, Liu Yan reacted. “What can a security guard give that’s worth anything?”

Ye Xuan directly reached out and opened the gift box.

Instantly, a Jade Buddha appeared in front of everyone.

“Uncle, this is a Jade Buddha from the West Mountain Temple. It has an old pit ice seed worth 30 million yuan.”

Ye Xuan took out the Maybach Key and placed it on the table as he spoke. “This is the key to a brand new Maybach. It’s a gift I just gave to Ruoshi.”

Instantly, everyone’s expressions froze.

Especially Lin Fei and Liu Yan. They were utterly stunned.

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Hai and said seriously,

“Uncle, I came here today to tell you and your wife that I am serious about Lin Ruoshi. I will give her happiness. In the future, no matter what difficulties or obstacles we face, we will never be separated!”

The room was utterly silent.

Even Lin Ruoshi was stunned. Every word from Ye Xuan sank deep into her heart and moved her.

Lin Hai looked at Ye Xuan and narrowed his eyes.

As a practical person, Lin Hai interacted with people who were very complicated, so he had long developed to recognize people. Although it was his first time meeting Ye Xuan, he could tell that he was not ordinary.

Ye Xuan was a knowledgeable person who dared to scold Liu Yan and send out a Jade Buddha without changing his expression.

At this time, Liu Yan also reacted.

She looked at the Jade Buddha greedily but did not dare harbor any devious ideas. She was a little afraid of Ye Xuan.

But at this time, she suddenly noticed a line of words written under the Jade Buddha— Great Fortune Jewelry.

Liu Yan was immediately shocked. “This is the Jade Buddha from Great Fortune Jewelry, but they have been closed for a few months.”

She looked up at Ye Xuan. “Where did you buy it? It can’t be a fake, right?”

Lin Fei also reacted. “Yes, Great Fortune Jewelry is closed. Ye Xuan, where did you buy this? Brother, don’t be fooled by a fake item.”

Lin Hai’s expression did not change, nor did he say anything. He felt that the Jade Buddha was not fake.

Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Yan. He did not expect her to identify the origin of the Jade Buddha. Ye Xuan himself did not know that Wu Hongniang had chosen the Jade Buddha as a gift.

Suddenly, Liu Yan exclaimed, “Ye Xuan, you didn’t steal it, did you?”

Everyone was stunned. Lin Fei suddenly said, “Grand Fortune Jewelry was closed for renovation. Ye Xuan, you must have taken the opportunity to sneak in and steal the Jade Buddha, right?”

Ye Xuan frowned. He did not expect to be suspected of being a thief.

He snorted. “Do I have to explain myself to you?”

Liu Yan sneered. “Are you feeling guilty? Brother, let me tell you, this Jade Buddha must have been stolen. We’ve investigated this kid’s family background very clearly. He definitely can’t afford such an expensive item. It’s either fake or stolen!”

Lin Fei replied, “It’s not fake. I’ve done some research on jade. This Jade Buddha’s quality is extraordinary. It’s the real thing, so Ye Xuan must have stolen it. I know the manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry. With just a phone call, I can figure it out immediately.”

Liu Yan urged impatiently, “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make the call.”

Lin Fei nodded, took out his phone, and made the call. He said to Ye Xuan,

“A thief dares to show off in front of me. Watch me expose you.”

Seeing this, Lin Ruoshi, who had not spoken all this time, hurriedly tried to dissuade him. “Uncle, don’t make the call. Ye Xuan can’t be a thief. You’ve misunderstood.”

“Misunderstood?” Lin Fei saw that Lin Ruoshi was pleading and thought she was guilty. He was even more confident that Ye Xuan had stolen. He sneered and said, “I have to make this call. No one can stop me.”

As he spoke, the phone was picked up.

On the other side of the phone was Lin Fei’s friend, the manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry, Han Zixiao.

The two had been in contact for a long time. Han Zixiao had once told him that he knew about all the significant transactions of Grand Fortune Jewelry.

Lin Fei directly turned on the speaker. “Brother Han, is it convenient to talk?”

“Brother Lin is calling me. Even if it’s not convenient, I will still make time. Haha.”

Lin Fei glanced at Ye Xuan and the others proudly. “Brother Han, you’re so kind. I’m calling because I have something to ask you. Has your Great Fortune Jewelry sold a Jade Buddha the size of a peach recently?”

“What’s the matter? Brother Lin, you’ve gotten rich and wish to buy a Jade Buddha?”

Lin Fei’s face darkened. How could he afford it? 

“Brother Han, you’re joking. I’m just asking around, but I can’t afford it..”
