Chapter 110: The Su Family's Grand Celebration

The next day.

Ye Tianlin drove out of the hospital early and parked downstairs at his rented apartment complex. Within minutes, Su Weimin and Gao Yulan both came down.

Today, Su Weimin was dressed to the nines in a sharp suit, complete with a necktie and hair gel, looking full of spirit. Gao Yulan was even more flamboyant, with jewelry adorning her ears, neck, and hands—as if she wanted to hang something on every inch of her body.

As soon as they got into the car, Ye Tianlin couldn't help but chuckle. "Mom, Dad, isn't this a bit too much?"

Su Weimin adjusted his tie and put on a pretentious air. "On such a big day, one must dress decently. Besides, with so many relatives present, I, Su Weimin, am determined to save face. You don't know the first thing about it!"

"That’s right, that’s right. Since we’ve decided to go, we must look our best. We can’t afford to be embarrassing; after all, it’s a rare opportunity!" Gao Yulan said, looking quite pleased with herself.

Ye Tianlin nodded in agreement. "That’s true. We’ve suffered too much over the years, so this is indeed a rare chance."

"But it is strange that the birthday banquet was set at the Su family villa instead of the Bishuiwan villa. I recall that wasn't the plan," Su Weimin said, his brow furrowing in confusion.

Gao Yulan waved her hand, offering a self-assured explanation. "Why else would it be? Most likely, the Bishuiwan villa is too high-profile. After some thought, they must have chosen the Su villa instead. Even though Su Yixue is destined to marry into a wealthy family, one shouldn't show off too much!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianlin offered a bitter smile. He knew the truth was far from what the couple imagined; the Su family simply had no qualifications to enter the Bishuiwan villa. Of course, the truth would be revealed during the banquet soon enough. Not in a rush, Ye Tianlin started driving and asked, "Mom, Dad, have you prepared a birthday gift?"

"A gift? I don't have any money. Shouldn't that be the responsibility of you, the younger generation?" Su Weimin immediately widened his eyes, feigning ignorance.

Ye Tianlin shook his head. "I was at the hospital all night yesterday; I really didn't have time to prepare one."

Su Weimin became anxious immediately, grumbling, "You scoundrel, you have no social grace at all. If we show up empty-handed without a gift, won't we lose all face?"

"Oh, give it a rest. Why prepare a gift? You have to understand that the Su family is begging us to come this time. It’s enough that we’re even showing up. What else could they dare to say? We shouldn't waste any money on them!" Gao Yulan said, being stingy.

Seeing this, Su Weimin shut his mouth, thinking there was some logic to her words. Once they arrived at the Su villa, surely no one would dare mention the lack of a gift to him—after all, he had the ancestors of the Su family supposedly backing him up through dreams!

They finished the journey in silence, arriving at the Su villa fifteen minutes later.

At this moment, many relatives had already gathered at the villa. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and red paper cutouts were pasted everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere. Besides that, many relatives' cars were parked in the courtyard, though the most expensive ones were only worth a few hundred thousand, mostly reflecting a modest, middle-class standard.

When Ye Tianlin drove his high-end, top-trim extended Land Rover into the courtyard and parked, it immediately drew the gazes of all the relatives.

"A Range Rover extended edition!"
"That car must cost several million, right?"
"It’s Su Weimin’s family. They say his idiot son-in-law is not only cured but has become the General Manager of the Business Department at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. His annual salary must be quite high!"

The relatives whispered and gossiped, eyeing them intently.

Su Weimin was the first to step out of the car, putting on a grand display. With his hands behind his back, he scanned the surroundings. Feeling the envy of his relatives, he lifted his head slightly, feeling a sense of satisfaction from head to toe.

Gao Yulan followed, her jewelry clinking as she took Su Weimin’s arm. Like a wealthy middle-aged lady, she couldn't help but hold her head high.

Ye Tianlin was the last to step out. Naturally, he became the focal point, instantly perceived by the relatives as a successful man; the gazes directed at him were filled with intensity.

Upon hearing the commotion, Elder Su hurried over to greet them personally. Seeing Ye Tianlin, his face lit up with joy. He grabbed Su Weimin’s hand and said with a beaming smile, "Weimin, you’ve finally arrived! And Tianlin, my good grandson-in-law!"

"I originally didn't want to come, but for the sake of our ancestors, I didn't want to make things difficult for you and become a laughingstock for others!" Su Weimin immediately began putting on airs in front of the crowd.

As the words left his mouth, the relatives’ expressions turned strange. The recent conflicts within the Su family had long since reached their ears. Most had come to the birthday banquet to see Su Yixue, who was about to marry into a wealthy family.

But given the current situation, Su Weimin’s family didn't seem to be doing too badly. Among all the relatives, they were considered top-tier. Working at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce was no small feat! More importantly, their previously strained relationship had been miraculously repaired. Before Su Weimin had even arrived, Elder Su had already explained the situation, citing the ancestors' dreams as the reason and claiming they could not forget their roots.

Naturally, no one dared to give Su Weimin’s family a cold shoulder; each of them was looking for an opportunity to curry favor.

"I am already very satisfied that you could come in person. Since so many people are here today, I will personally announce something so that everyone knows your current status, Weimin!" Elder Su raised his voice.

Su Zhengjun stepped out of the crowd and smiled, "That’s right. If you knew the truth, you would be quite happy!"

Su Yicai patted his chest and bowed to Ye Tianlin with folded hands, "My brother-in-law, Ye Tianlin, is truly remarkable!"

In an instant, the relatives were filled with curiosity.

"What truth?" Gao Yulan asked, looking puzzled.

Su Weimin glanced at Ye Tianlin and said without reserve, "How impressive could this guy be? Don't flatter him. He’s just like that. Even if he is the General Manager of the Business Department now, he still relies on me, his father-in-law, to provide guidance behind the scenes. If there’s any credit to be given, it’s mine!"
