Tang Hai was struck by lightning.
This...
"So Master Chen's girlfriend is Miss Wang..." Tang Hai said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, Mr. Tang, your thank-you gift hasn't arrived yet," Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Quick, it's coming..." Tang Hai said awkwardly.
At this moment, he regretted coming so hastily.
He should have investigated Chen Jie's identity first.
But now that he was here, he had to go through with it.
"Tang Hai, quickly save me!" Ye Fan also reacted, rushed out, and shouted at Tang Hai.
"Ye Fan, it's you!" Tang Hai exclaimed in surprise.
"Tang Hai, Chen Jie wants to kill me. Save my life, and I'll become your son-in-law! Don't you always want to match me with your daughter?"
Ye Fan said excitedly.
"What?"
Tang Hai was shocked.
Chen Jie even dared to kill Ye Fan.
He didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Outside the door, Tang Wenwu was directing several porters carrying thank-you gifts towards the villa courtyard.
"Brother Chen, our thank-you gifts have arrived!" Tang Wenwu said with an excited smile.
After today, Chen Jie would be his brother-in-law. He had already accepted Chen Jie's identity in his heart, so his attitude towards Chen Jie became much more polite.
However, when he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was stunned.
Three, three women?
So many people watching?
The thank-you gifts they had prepared were somewhat unsavory.
Chen Jie nodded at him, then glanced coldly at Ye Fan, "Don't delude yourself anymore. I said I'd kill you, and you will die today!"
"Don't you dare! With Tang Hai here, I won't die!" Ye Fan said angrily.
"Ye Fan?" Tang Wenwu exclaimed. There were quite a few people present, and he finally noticed Ye Fan.
"Hahaha... Wenwu, from now on, I'll be your brother-in-law!" Ye Fan said excitedly.
"What? How did you become my brother-in-law?" Tang Wenwu was dumbfounded.
Ye Fan excitedly slapped Tang Wenwu on the shoulder and said, "Nonsense, because I promised you! You and your father really wanted me to be Ruotong's boyfriend, right? I agreed!"
Ye Fan glared at Chen Jie, "Kid, from now on, I'm the son-in-law of the Tang family. If you kill me, you'll offend both our families. Let's see if you have the guts."
Chen Jie sneered, "You're celebrating too soon."
He didn't believe Tang Hai was so foolish as to offend him for a mere Ye Fan.
However, he still wanted to see Tang Hai's attitude, as he noticed a hint of hesitation flash across Tang Hai's face.
In fact, Chen Jie misunderstood him. Tang Hai's hesitation was entirely because there were too many people present, and he was afraid his daughter would be embarrassed.
"Little brother-in-law, what are you waiting for? Take these gifts! With me here, you don't need to give this guy any more gifts!"
"Let me see, what did you bring?"
Ye Fan unceremoniously opened the first small gift box.
He was stunned for a moment because it was filled with stacks of cash.
At least several million.
"Only a few million? Take it back, consider it your daughter's dowry to me!"
Ye Fan casually opened another gift box.
"This jade looks good, worth several million. What did this kid do to you to make you spend so much?" Ye Fan took out a few pieces of jade.
Chen Jie was surprised to see the jade.
These jade pieces looked old and their value couldn't be measured by their intrinsic worth alone, as they had entered the realm of antiques.
However, what Chen Jie truly cared about was that these jade pieces contained spiritual energy, making them very suitable for permanent defensive magical artifacts.
He immediately decided that he could refuse the money Tang Hai had sent, but he had to keep the jade.
"The last gift box is so big, what's inside?"
Ye Fan made a move to open the last gift box.
But Tang Hai quickly stopped him, "Don't..."
"What are you afraid of? No matter how valuable it is, it shouldn't be given to this kid. Old Tang, stop pretending. I said I'd marry your daughter, and I keep my word. Open it and make this kid jealous!"
Ye Fan, without further ado, triumphantly opened the last gift box.
Whoosh!
Everyone's gaze was drawn to the scene before them.
"A blow-up doll?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.
Tang Hai took a deep breath, then his expression turned fierce, and he slapped Ye Fan across the face.
With a crack, Ye Fan staggered back two steps, clutching his face.
Tang Hai roared, "Blow-up doll your mother! This is my daughter!"
What?
Ye Fan was dumbfounded.
He had forgotten to get angry even after being slapped.
The faces of the dozen masters showed a flicker of excitement.
Giving one's daughter as a thank-you gift was indeed unconventional.
However, they didn't find Tang Hai's actions exaggerated at all. Being seasoned individuals, they immediately understood Tang Hai's intentions and silently mourned for him.
His actions were correct, but they were just too early.
If he had come a day later, he might have been able to curry favor with Chen Jie.
But now...
They glanced at Wang Xiaoyan and silently shook their heads.
"You trash, you're not worthy of being my son-in-law! Let me tell you, the most perfect son-in-law in my heart is the noble Master Chen! You're nothing compared to him! Stop being so self-important in front of me!"
Tang Hai, seeing that the situation had come to this, no longer concealed his intentions and openly admitted it, shouting at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was struck by lightning.
He said incredulously, "Chen Jie already has a girlfriend, and you still want to give your daughter to him as a gift? You're treating your daughter like an object?"
"I'm happy, I'm willing! Who do you think you are to point fingers at me?"
Tang Hai directly kicked him.
Then he helped Tang Ruotong up, "Daughter, stand up!"
"Ah... damn it, I..." Tang Ruotong's face flushed crimson.
With so many people watching, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"Turn around!" Zhou Shu, being perceptive, commanded. All the men present, except for Chen Jie, turned their backs.
Tang Ruotong, wearing only a few pieces of cloth, stood up awkwardly.
Tang Hai pulled Tang Ruotong and brought her to Chen Jie's side.
He didn't feel ashamed at all, but instead said with a smile, "Master Chen, my gratitude to you can no longer be expressed by ordinary means!"
"Therefore, to show my sincerity, I am giving you my only daughter as a gift! From today onwards, she is your personal plaything. If you don't like her, just throw her away!" Tang Hai said calmly.
Tang Ruotong, a martial arts girl, had a perfect figure.
Chen Jie couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
However, Chen Jie's expression sank, "Tang Hai, I already have a girlfriend. Take your daughter away."
"This..." Tang Hai looked troubled, but in his heart, he was relieved.
He would have felt heartache if his daughter had really stayed.
"I appreciate your kindness. Keep those pieces of jade, and take the rest with you," Chen Jie said lightly.
"Master Chen, since you've said so, I'll be leaving now."
Tang Hai gave Tang Ruotong a look, and Tang Ruotong quickly squeezed into the gift box and was carried out by people.
