Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The ’Ugly’ Daughter-in-law Meets the In-laws

Regarding this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but mutter in his heart:

"The sales office over there provided free maids to tidy up, and it’s you, old lady, who refused to use them! How is this my fault again?"

Of course, while muttering in his heart, he couldn’t say that out loud and just put on a smiling face and said:

"Haha, my mistake, my mistake, I’ll buy a smaller one next time. How about, Mom, you bring Grandma over to live with us? Then the old lady can stroll around during the day."

Hearing her son’s words, Empress Dowager Ye couldn’t help but show a trace of joy in her eyes, ’Indeed, he’s my son, he understands his mother’s thoughts!’

Originally, Empress Dowager Ye wanted to have her own mother come live with them, but she was worried that Lin Jianguo and Lin Yi, the father and son, would not agree...

Of course, the main concern was that her son might not be willing, since the old lady wasn’t very fond of Lin Yi in the past.

Now that her son had said it himself, Empress Dowager Ye felt quite gratified.

Seeing the happy expression on Empress Dowager Ye’s face, Lin Yi also shook his head and smiled wryly.

You’re really underestimating my generosity here...

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye. At noon today, in Lin Yi’s villa, gathered the whole family of Grandma and the whole family of Grandma from the father’s side.

The purpose of their coming? Naturally, Empress Dowager Ye had set up a banquet in the villa.

One was to celebrate Lin Yi getting into a national key university, and the other was to celebrate the housewarming, commonly known as warming the stove.

Of course, there’s nothing particularly special, except for a shy little girl sitting next to Empress Dowager Ye.

And this little girl was none other than our classmate, Xiao Zihan!

Two days ago, when it was decided that there would be a family banquet, Lin Yi had told Xiao Zihan to come join his family gathering in a few days.

To this, Xiao Zihan naturally felt a bit embarrassed, but Lin Yi straightforwardly said, "I got into Tsinghua University, as a good friend, wouldn’t you come to celebrate with me? Besides, Li Huiqun and Li Wentao, those two guys, will also be there."

This sentence directly silenced Xiao Zihan, and when she tried to say something, Lin Yi decisively stopped her with food.

At that moment, Xiao Zihan blushed deeply and shyly nestled into Lin Yi’s arms, not daring to make a sound.

So, that’s how today’s scene was set.

Seeing Xiao Zihan being praised nonstop by Grandma and Aunty Second while being held by Empress Dowager Ye, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.

As for Li Huiqun and the others nearby, they were full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

But Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng, on the other hand, kept smiling and watching everything.

Speaking of Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng, there’s a bit of a backstory to explain.

Originally, Lin Yi just planned to have a family meal without intending to invite outsiders.

As for Li Huiqun and the others, they were childhood friends, naturally not considered outsiders either.

But by chance, when they were tidying up the villa and going out, they happened to encounter Zhuang Yan’s car at the villa district gate.

There was no reason not to greet each other, and after a chat, it turned out Zhuang Yan lived in this neighborhood.

Moreover, Lin Yi’s place was in the newly opened villa "Seaside Listening to Waves," while Zhuang Yan lived in the Phase One of the same villa.

As they chatted more, it turned out Zhuang Yan was considering buying a villa here as well, but due to recent busyness, he hadn’t been paying attention, and Lin Yi beat him to it.

Not only that, according to Zhuang Yan, Chen Sheng also lived in this villa district, residing in the Phase One of "Seaside Listening to Waves."

As a result, they all became neighbors.

It’s precisely because of this that Zhuang Yan would come by every afternoon to have tea and chat with Lin Yi.

After learning about Lin Yi’s family banquet today, Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng insisted on attending.

That’s also why they are here now.

Although being here, apart from Father Lin and Mother Lin, Lin Yi’s relatives didn’t know Zhuang Yan and Chen Sheng.

This was a deliberate arrangement by Zhuang Yan with Lin Yi beforehand, since it was a family banquet, no need to reveal their identities.

After all, there was no need to disrupt the original atmosphere because of them, especially since their purpose today was to congratulate Lin Yi, their younger brother.

Without revealing their identities, the atmosphere of the banquet was indeed great.

The family exchanged drinks, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Due to the recent changes in Lin Yi’s family situation, everyone, irrespective of how they previously felt about Empress Dowager Ye, all had smiles on their faces.

Toward Lin Yi, they didn’t hold back on praises from start to finish.

Those cousins, once seen as insurmountable in the parents’ eyes, suddenly became nothing today.

One after another, phrases like "Look at your cousin and Zihan," "Compare yourself with your cousin," "I’d be satisfied if you were half as good as your cousin and Zihan" burst forth.

This made the usually skillful family members bow their heads with displeased expressions.

To this, Lin Yi just offered a helpless smile.

Given his current status, there’s really no need to fuss with these kids.

But there’s nothing to be done, that’s just reality.

After the meal, Aunt, Aunty Second, and other aunts and cousins went to clear the dishes.

Lin Yi initially suggested going to a restaurant, but there was nothing he could do because his mom liked the lively atmosphere, saying there wasn’t the same atmosphere in a restaurant.

The women went to clear the dishes, while the men gathered by the pool outside the villa to smoke and chat.

As for Madam Chen, knowing her status, Empress Dowager Ye naturally didn’t ask her to help clear the dishes, but for some unknown reason, Madam Chen stayed in the kitchen without coming out.

Xiao Zihan was practically pushed out of the kitchen by Empress Dowager Ye, who insisted she shouldn’t enter.

This left Xiao Zihan a bit at a loss, even bowing her head in grievance by the kitchen door.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Ye felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly went over to hold Xiao Zihan’s hand to comfort her softly.

’Auntie, I-I want to help with the dishes...’

In the end, with no other option, Xiao Zihan finally joined the group clearing the dishes as she wished.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled. This is what a family should be like.

Turning his head, Lin Yi found himself speechless upon noticing that the two billionaires were happily chatting along with his uncles and cousins.

This honestly made him a bit speechless, thinking to himself how down-to-earth these two were.

Of course, Lin Yi also knew that these two gave him plenty of face.
