My Breathtaking CEO Wife - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 – Lin Chen

Upon waking up, Lin Yi was shocked to see so many things piled up in her living room. Everyone had some expectations when they knew that she married the heir to the prestigious Li family, but the truth was, the Li family didn’t even present her family with customary betrothal gifts during their wedding.

Perhaps they came to a subtle settlement with the ‘gifts’. After all, her father had the opportunity to work with the Li family for a few big projects and hence, earned quite a lot of money.

The Li family was certainly very generous. The gifts were easily worth ten million dollars.

For some big families, their reputation or image was the most important to them. Of course, the heir of the Li family had to bring lavish gifts when he visits his bride’s home. Otherwise, he would be ridiculed by others.

Wang Ma started the car engine and the three of them quickly headed towards Lin Yi’s house.

Judging from the size of the mansion, the Lin family was indeed a powerful family in Jiangdu.

They had come to the main residence of the Lin family, where most of the family’s members lived.

Although it was his first time seeing a mansion like this, Li Tian was not surprised at all. It was because he had seen the size of the Li family residence and also bigger mansions while he was abroad.

Li Tian thought that a mansion this size was the least this family should have. Of course, these were just his inner thoughts.

There were many people standing at the door, waiting to greet him. After all, Li Tian was someone special that should be welcomed warmly.

“Hahaha! You guys are finally here! Quick! Come in, let’s talk inside.”

Lin Zheng invited Li Tian and Lin Yi into the house, whilst Wang Ma began to unload the car.

The gifts were lavish, so the Lin family ordered a few of their workers to guard the Li family’s gifts.

As she was only a maid, Wang Ma didn’t join the family talk, and someone else was supposed to prepare food for her privately. She was supposed to just wait there and send the two of them home when it was time to leave.

It was around ten o’clock in the morning and there was still more than an hour to go till lunch. At the same time, more than a dozen people were gathered in the living room conversing.

Li Tian felt awkward being with a group of strangers in the living room whereas Lin Yi had already followed her mother to the bedroom upstairs.

To be honest, Lin Zheng was the only person he knew amongst the crowd.

However, everyone gave him a warm welcome and were very kind to him, especially a few middle-aged men who treated Li Tian with the utmost respect.

Even though they knew Li Tian didn’t have much status in his family, they still pretended to be nice on the surface. After all, these people had been doing business for a long time, they knew how to play their cards well.

Simply said, no one looked at Li Tian with disdain except a few youngsters, who were obviously too thick-skulled to be there.

Besides them, no one else was stupid enough to treat Li Tian with scorn. Why? It didn’t matter if Li Tian was statusless, those people had nothing gain from being rude to him.

However, truth be told, no one would care about Li Tian if it wasn’t for his title as the heir of the Li family.

Li Tian knew about this deep down inside, which was also why he never took any initiative to start conservations. He only answered people when they asked him questions.

Very quickly, an hour passed by. He just needed to endure one more hour until lunch was served before it would finally be time to go home.

A young man who seemed about 20 years old walked into the room just as some of them were conversing inside. He was tall and good-looking. With his body proportions and visuals, he was easily on par with some of the local celebrities.

However, as soon as he entered, he immediately exuded an uncomfortable aura.

“Xiao Chen, you’re here. Quick, come greet your brother-in-law. ”

Lin Zheng exclaimed.

Brother-in-law?

Li Tian immediately grasped the situation. It was no other than Lin Yi’s younger brother, and also his brother-in-law.

Lin Chen was the only son of Lin Zheng, and also the future heir to the family.

Upon hearing his father say this, Lin Chen immediately glanced at Li Tian.

Honestly, Li Tian was dressed well today as his outfit was chosen by Lin Yi.

However, Lin Chen just sneered at Li Tian.

“Brother-in-law? Isn’t he just the illegitimate son of the Li family? I really don’t understand what you were thinking. He’s just a statusless person in his family, is he even worth your grand welcome? Just arrange a hotel room for him to stay the night or something, why did you even invite him here?”

Lin Chen continued to speak as Lin Zheng’s face turned sour. Not only Lin Zheng, but the crowd’s expressions turned bitter instantly.

Is Lin Chen crazy? How could he say all this in front of him?

“Shut your mouth! Get out!”

Lin Zheng was fuming as he scolded his son for misbehaving.

If the Li family were to find out about Lin Chen’s words…

Lin Zheng didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. It’s all because of my pea-brained son!

However, Lin Chen didn’t think that he said anything wrong, as he continued to give Li Tian a disdainful gaze.

“This is my house, why should I get out! He’s just an outsider, he doesn’t have any rights to sit here! He should be the one to get out!”

“You…swine! You… cough cough… Apologize to your brother-in-law now! Or I won’t hesitate to break your legs today!”

Lin Zheng felt his chest burn. His good-for-nothing son was acting up again today.

“Apologize? Does he deserve my apology?”

Lin Chen turned his head around with a smug expression on his face.

At the same time, Li Tian who was sipping on his tea slowly stood up.

“You’re right, I’m just an outsider. Since this is the case, I should just leave now. Goodbye, everyone.”

Clearly, Li Tian was severely offended by Lin Chen’s words. However, he didn’t do anything and only chose to walk out the door as soon as he finished speaking.

However, upon getting ready to leave, someone sighed.

“Son, don’t leave. I’ll have him apologize to you immediately. Otherwise, I’ll break his legs in front of you!”

Lin Zheng walked over to Li Tian, in hopes of stopping Li Tian from leaving. Lin Zheng knew that the Lin family could not afford to have Li Tian leave just like that.

He was dying to teach Lin Chen a proper lesson. Darn it!

“There’s no need for that. Just tell Xiao Yi later. I’ll leave first with Wang Ma.”

No matter how much Lin Zheng tried to stop him from leaving, Li Tian still walked out the door in the end.

When Lin Chen heard Li Tian say that he was leaving. A smug expression appeared on his face once again as he spoke arrogantly, “A garbage person like him deserves to be with a tramp like Lin Yi! What a perfect pair!”

“You better get out of my sight right now! I don’t have a son like you! From this day onward, you’re not allowed to enter this house anymore! Also, don’t expect to get any money from the Lin family!”

“So be it! Let’s see who would carry your ashes when you die!”
