After Listening to What Inside My Mind the Female Leads Want to Flung Into My Harem

"Alright, alright, let's not make a scene. It's our turn to present the gift, let's not become a laughingstock."

Father-in-law Lin Shengxi was also quite annoyed and offered a few words of advice.

Seeing that it was their turn to present the gift, Tang Yu chuckled to himself.

[Here it comes, the classic gift-giving scene begins.]

[The jade Buddha in the box has already been swapped with a purple ginseng.]

[When it's taken out later, no one will believe it, making the Lin Family lose face again.]

[In the end, the purple ginseng wasn't given away, and they took it back to make soup and ate it all themselves. What a talent.]

As Tang Yu's inner thoughts echoed once more, Lin Huanxi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she glanced around.

Why was this voice sounding again? What was this about the jade Buddha being swapped with purple ginseng? What was going on?

While she was in a daze, her father had already taken the box containing the jade Buddha and walked up.

Lin Shengxi handed the gift to the Old Master Lin with a smile.

"Dad, this is our family's birthday gift. We spent five million to have Master He from the west of the city carve this jade Buddha, and had it blessed by a high monk from Jinguang Temple. It will surely bless you with happiness as vast as the eastern seas and longevity as enduring as the southern mountains."

"Good, good, good, you are thoughtful."

The Old Master Lin laughed happily.

Although he had grown increasingly dissatisfied with the second family over the years, especially because of that useless Ye Qiu, even reducing their family dividends to a pittance, today their gesture was quite sincere, which moved him and made him reflect on whether he had been too harsh.

Then he opened the box and took a glance, only to find there was no jade Buddha inside, just a purple ginseng. He couldn't even tell if it was real or fake.

The Old Master Lin's previously joyful expression instantly turned grim.

He felt like he was being made a fool of.

Was this the second family's sincerity?

Seeing his father's sudden change in expression, Lin Shengxi quickly looked up, instantly scared out of his wits.

The jade Buddha he had prepared, how did it become a purple ginseng?

"What are you doing? Do you think I haven't lost enough face?"

Lin Tiancheng was trembling with anger. The second family had already brought shame to the Lin Family on usual days, but today, on his seventieth birthday, they couldn't even behave?

"Dad, there might be a misunderstanding, I suspect we took the wrong one..."

Lin Shengxi, being of a timid nature and a typical son-in-law character, was about to come up with an excuse when Ye Qiu, standing behind, stepped forward and said loudly.

"Grandfather, this is the grand birthday gift I prepared for you, a top-grade purple ginseng aged two hundred years, worth at least sixty million on the market."

He deliberately raised his voice so all the guests present could hear.

Lin Huanxi finally understood the meaning of the words she had heard earlier, her gaze becoming complicated.

As soon as Ye Qiu shouted this, the guests present all had a slight change in expression, then burst into laughter.

"Is this freeloader out of his mind?"

"A top-grade purple ginseng worth sixty million, can he even come up with six thousand?"

"What a joke, with such a useless son-in-law, the Lin Family will never be able to hold their heads up."

The guests' mocking laughter was like a heavy hammer pounding on the Old Master Lin's heart.

He furiously threw the purple ginseng in his hand at Ye Qiu, shouting angrily.

"You shameless beast, do you insist on disgracing our Lin Family?"

"Damn it, I've tolerated this dog for too long, freeloading off our Lin Family for five years, and now he wants to disgust us."

"Even a dog raised for five years can be slaughtered for meat, what use is this waste?"

"Kick him out, don't allow him here."

The eldest family was also hopping mad. It was rare for the Old Master to celebrate his seventieth birthday, bringing joy to the Lin Family. With Ye Qiu's antics, the Lin Family would likely become the talk of Yanjing again.

"You beast, who told you to do such a thing?"

Mother-in-law Hou Caichun was already on the verge of collapse, rushing forward to slap Ye Qiu.

Even if Ye Qiu was shameless, he couldn't let his mother-in-law slap him in public. So he grabbed her hand and gently pushed.

Hou Caichun took two steps back, slipped, and fell to the ground, angrily shouting.

"This is outrageous, the Lin Family's son-in-law is turning against us!"

Tang Yu, who was watching the drama from afar, spat out a mouthful of tea, coughing heavily twice.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Ye Qiu, so no one noticed him.

Ye Qiu's face turned green with anger. He picked up the purple ginseng from the ground and gritted his teeth.

"I'm not joking with you, this purple ginseng is genuine and has the effect of prolonging life!"

"Come on, with your poor appearance, you can't even afford a six-hundred-yuan ginseng, let alone a genuine one?"

"Exactly, I bet it's a rotten carrot picked up from the market."

Cousin Lin Yunzhi and cousin Lin Weiwei mercilessly mocked.

Fortunately, Lin Huanxi quickly reacted and went to find the jade Buddha, eventually finding it in her handbag, knowing it must have been Ye Qiu who put it there since he was helping with the bags earlier.

She hurriedly took out the jade Buddha and ran over to present it to her grandfather.

"Grandfather, don't mind Ye Qiu's nonsense, this is our family's birthday gift, wishing you good health and peace."

Seeing Lin Huanxi present the gift, the Old Master Lin took it and let out a heavy sigh, waving his hand.

"Thank you for your family's thoughtfulness, now step down, other guests still need to present their gifts."

Lin Huanxi's family quickly retreated.

Ye Qiu couldn't be bothered to say more and simply put away the purple ginseng.

Since the old fellow was blind, he deserved not to enjoy this blessing.

As for the laughter of the crowd, he didn't care at all.

Soon, they would know who the true dragon of Yanjing was!

By then, these people would be groveling at his feet, licking his shoes!

Tang Yu, who had watched the whole drama unfold, laughed until his stomach hurt.

[This guy is definitely a bit of a masochist.]

[If you had taken out the purple ginseng earlier and communicated with your family, there wouldn't be any problem.]

[Instead, you hid it, let things escalate to the worst situation, and still think you're the victim.]

[In the end, you want to act pretentious but don't want to give away the good stuff.]

[Intentionally taking it out for show, waiting for people to realize it's real and start regretting, then you're satisfied.]

[If I remember correctly, this guy will take it back and make soup with it later.]

[The mother-in-law's family thought it was a carrot and didn't eat it, but this guy ate it all himself.]

[Then when the mother-in-law's friends came over, he could act all high and mighty again.]

After laughing, Tang Yu internally criticized the plot.

Compared to Ye Chen and Lin Fan, Tang Yu found Ye Qiu more interesting.

This kind of classic plot, from the villain's perspective, was simply the best comedy on earth.

Coming to Yanjing this time, he was counting on this guy to help him get rich and earn rewards.

And Lin Huanxi, with a complex expression, was once again shocked after hearing the inner voice.

This strange voice seemed to know everything!

Where was this voice coming from?

Could it be that there was a guardian spirit in the shadows telling her these things, helping her see Ye Qiu's true colors?
