In the bustling Ye Family mansion in Jinhai, it was a lively scene.

Today was the birthday of the Ye family's old master, and all the members of the Ye Family had gathered here.

Right now, Ye Jingyi was waiting at the entrance for Jiang Chen.

Just as she was growing impatient, Jiang Chen arrived, panting heavily on an electric bike.

"Why did you only get here now!" Jiang Chen had arrived, and Ye Jingyi gave him a dissatisfied glance, "Come on, everyone's already here."

Jiang Chen hadn't caught his breath yet when he saw that Ye Jingyi was wearing the limited edition outfit he had bought for her the day before. He was pleased; it seemed his wife liked his gift.

But before he could even ask about it, Ye Jingyi frowned and said, "Just behave yourself today, okay? Don't act like a big shot and embarrass me like you usually do."

Have I ever embarrassed you? Jiang Chen felt wronged but didn't say much. After parking his electric bike, he followed Ye Jingyi into the villa.

"Hey, look, that's Ye Jianxiong's son-in-law."

"A pauper, no less. Only the Ye Jianxiong family would take him."

"Exactly, I saw from the window just now, he seems to have come on an electric bike, doesn't even have a car."

"For Ye Jingyi to marry someone like him, she must have been blind."

When the Ye family members saw Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi enter, they could not help but scornfully jeer, keeping their distance.

Ye Jianxiong, Zhou Ru, and Ye Yanni all looked at Jiang Chen with disgust, while Wang Dongyang's eyes flickered, not daring to make eye contact with Jiang Chen.

As the master of the mansion, Ye Jianchang was greeting the guests. Upon seeing Jiang Chen, he immediately scowled and directly reprimanded Ye Jingyi, "Why did you bring him here? Ye Jingyi, does someone like him deserve to enter my house? What are you thinking?"

Ye Jingyi's face darkened, and she said nothing. She knew that bringing Jiang Chen here would lead to criticism, but after all, Jiang Chen was her husband, and he had said he wanted to make an effort. So, integrating into the Ye Family should be helpful for him.

Ye Jianxiong and the others felt especially ashamed, and Zhou Ru quickly went up to whisper to Ye Jianxiong, "Big brother, don't be angry, just think of it as if we brought a dog with us, alright?"

Jiang Chen heard this, and he clenched his fists. He truly wanted to turn around and leave, but he knew Ye Jingyi meant well, and it wouldn't be right to leave just now.

So, he had to pretend he hadn't heard it and looked away.

Suddenly, he noticed a young man not far away, looking very familiar. Upon closer inspection, he was stunned. Wasn't this the young man he had encountered at the painting store yesterday?

"Who is that guy?" Jiang Chen quietly asked Ye Jingyi.

Ye Jingyi glanced in the direction Jiang Chen was pointing and said softly, "His name is Ye Tianming, my uncle's son. He's studying medicine and is the general manager at a pharmaceutical company within the family business. He's just as idle as you, a playboy at heart."

At that moment, Ye Tianming also noticed Jiang Chen. He was startled at first, but then his face darkened. This... wasn't this the same guy he met at the antique market?

So, he was Jiang Chen!

Hmph, he dared to make me lose face yesterday; today, I'll make sure he can't stay here with dignity!

At the thought, Ye Tianming directly walked up to her, and as soon as he arrived in front of Ye Jingyi, he began to speak with sarcastic overtones, "Wow, Jingyi, is this the freeloading husband you found? Tsk tsk tsk, decked out in a new outfit, huh? Bought specially for Grandpa's birthday, I suppose? I recognize this brand. The whole get-up probably cost what, five or six hundred?"

As Ye Tianming spoke, his eyes slid towards Jiang Chen with a sneer, "I tell you, Jiang Chen, do you think five or six hundred is rather posh? Well, for someone lowly like you, that's probably all the sophistication you have. Let's not talk about you anymore!"

He waved his hand dismissively and then turned his head toward Ye Jingyi, chiding her, "And you, your husband has no taste, and you don't have any either? Did that outfit of yours cost more than three thousand? Such low grade! You're practically disgracing our Ye Family!"

"Now take a look at my clothes, this is the taste a member of the Ye Family should have." Ye Tianming pointed at his own clothes, haughtily lecturing, "You really are... sigh, your husband is mediocre, and you've become just as mediocre, wasting that pretty face and figure of yours."

Ye Jingyi was seething, her chest heaving with anger, fiercely glaring at Ye Tianming, but she didn't know how to retort.

The clothes were a gift from Jiang Chen from the day before, which she liked very much. However, she believed that Jiang Chen surely wouldn't buy very expensive clothes—reaching three thousand yuan would've been the limit.

Jiang Chen, however, slightly narrowed his eyes and sized up Ye Tianming, stepped forward, touched Ye Tianming's clothes, and nodded, "Not bad, these clothes of yours are pretty good, they must cost a few hundred thousand all together, right?"

"Of course, all together it's over eight hundred thousand," Ye Tianming held his head high and slapped Jiang Chen's hand away, "Don't touch recklessly, what if you dirty it, can you afford it?"

"Over eight hundred thousand, huh? Pretty decent," Jiang Chen smirked, "But really, your taste isn't that great. How much did you say my wife's outfit is? Three thousand? No, you're wrong."

"I'm wrong?" Ye Tianming was taken aback and sneered, "Oh really, is it thirty thousand then?"

"Not thirty thousand either. It's one point six million..."

Jiang Chen was naming the price, and at the same time, he took out the receipt from yesterday's purchase, smiling broadly as he brought it close to Ye Tianming's eyes, "Bought it yesterday, the receipt's still here, take a look."

Gasp!

Ye Tianming stared at the one point six million price tag on the receipt, his face flushing and neck bulging, nearly suffocating.

Ye Jingyi, on the other hand, was stunned. She hadn't expected her outfit to be so expensive. Although she felt Jiang Chen's money certainly didn't come from a proper channel, her heart still felt a hint of sweetness.

Jiang Chen, at this time, wasn't yet done with Ye Tianming, pointing at Ye Tianming's clothes:

"Also, your taste really shows in your clothing choices.

"Your outfit isn't bad, but this combination, it's really something. A dark-colored Armani on top matched with flashy Versace on the bottom, this mix doesn't just look unattractive, it actually makes you look like a monkey standing upright. Most importantly, clothing reflects personality—you're trying to appear serious on top, but the bottom is frivolous...

It seems like you're quite the frivolous person, aren't you?"

"You..." Ye Tianming trembled with rage, pointing at Jiang Chen but unable to speak, because Jiang Chen was right; one of the reasons he wore such pants was because they were... easy to take off!

"Well said!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice of praise came, and a cute and pretty girl came to Jiang Chen's side, giving him a thumbs-up, "Hello, Cousin-in-law. I am Ye Yuwan. You're absolutely right, he is frivolous. Don't be afraid of him, I support you!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, carefully observing the girl.

She bore some resemblance to Ye Jingyi and was equally beautiful, but unlike Ye Jingyi's dignity, there was a seductive quality to this girl, stirring an ineffable impulse at first glance.

After a moment's pause, Jiang Chen recovered and chuckled to the girl, giving her a nod, thinking, Finally, I've met someone in the Ye family who supports me, and she's quite beautiful too, a rarity indeed.
