Chapter Ninety

Tang Shihan stared blankly at Ye Fengyun.

Ye Fengyun suddenly covered his face and said coyly, “Oh, honey, why do you tell her everything? I only got a little carried away that night. Who told me my wife is so beautiful?”

“Huh?!”

Tang Shihan was stunned.

Tang Yilin was stunned too.

Was she talking about you?!

Ye Fengyun sighed, spreading his hands. “Well, since my wife has already said it, I won’t hide it either. I was a bit rough that night, that’s true. I’ll be more careful next time. Thanks for the reminder, Sister Yilin.”

“You—”

Tang Yilin was completely thrown off.

Ye Fengyun, that ugly brute, had played by no one’s rules and completely derailed her train of thought.

When the relatives heard this, they immediately understood.

Oh, so it was just a little matter between husband and wife.

Tang Yilin was truly shameless, prying into what people did behind closed doors.

At once, the relatives’ displeased looks shifted to Tang Yilin.

Tang Yilin had no way to defend herself.

She had wanted to steer everyone in that direction, then have them tear Tang Shihan apart with words. Who could have known some unexpected troublemaker would jump in halfway and completely ruin her plan?

And she could not simply blurt out the slander herself. That would be too beneath her and would only make her seem more suspicious.

But now she had lost control entirely. Everyone’s thoughts had been dragged off course by Ye Fengyun’s shamelessness.

“Ahem. Though we are all family, mind your words. Yilin, from now on, keep the private matters between you two sisters private,” the matriarch said.

“Yes.”

Tang Yilin wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

Furious and embarrassed, she slapped Lin Lei on the arm, startling him badly.

“All you ever do is touch, touch, touch!” Tang Yilin scolded.

Lin Lei curled his lip and cursed inwardly: You bitter shrew, why are you taking out your anger on me when you’re the one who was wronged?

“Very well, let us first celebrate Shihan,” said the matriarch, rare warmth softening her face.

Everyone hastily raised their glasses and offered congratulations. Though the words were insincere, the proper ritual still had to be observed.

During dinner, Tang Yilin lowered her voice and asked Lin Lei, “You said earlier that you were going to investigate Tang Shihan and the senior management of Dragon Sea Group. Did you find anything?”

Lin Lei choked a little. “Cough, cough, well, that—”

“You didn’t find anything, did you? Tomorrow is their wedding! Do you really intend to watch Tang Shihan step on my head one step at a time?!”

Lin Lei hurriedly said, “Of course I found something. A very exciting recording, in fact. Tomorrow at the wedding, I’ll play it on the big screen before everyone in Cloud River City. Let them see what kind of shameless woman Tang Shihan really is!”

“Hahaha, good. I knew you could do it!” Tang Yilin was thrilled.

Just then, a servant came to report.

“Madam, a distinguished guest outside has sent a gift of congratulations.”

The matriarch asked, “A congratulatory gift? For whom?”

“The other side didn’t say. They left after dropping it off.”

“Who sent it?”

“The Lin family.”

At that, everyone grew excited.

A gift from the Lin family had to be for Lin Lei and Tang Yilin!

All eyes turned to Lin Lei.

“Darling, someone from your family sent it,” Tang Yilin said with a laugh.

Lin Lei did not know what was going on, but he still put on a grave expression. “Ah, I had wanted to surprise you. Who would have thought they would reveal the sender?”

“Quick, quick, bring it in!” Tang Yilin’s mother, Jin Xuemei, said excitedly.

The servants promptly carried the gifts inside. There were a full ten large boxes, all luxuriously made of premium rosewood, carved with auspicious dragon-and-phoenix motifs.

“This looks like a wedding congratulatory gift!”

“Since it’s a wedding anniversary, sending something like this is only natural.”

The room began buzzing with conversation, and envious glances were cast toward Tang Yilin’s family.
