Chapter 252: The Villain Files the Complaint First
"This tea was obtained through a friend; this canister of tea is worth one hundred thousand. Never mind the tea, even the canister alone is worth over twenty thousand. You're saying this is fake?" Chen Yu was somewhat angry.
"Are you implying I've never drunk Taibai Silver Needle?" Ye Taihe slapped the table. "Fake is fake."
"If this is fake, then I can only say you really haven't drunk it." Chen Yu saw Ye Taihe's expression and knew the reason why.
This old thing was clutching the tea canister tightly, afraid someone would snatch it away. It looked like he already knew the tea was real, but was unwilling to admit it.
"I haven't drunk it? Chen Yu, what are you saying? My social circle is full of refined scholars; I haven't drunk Taibai Silver Needle?" Ye Taihe was furious.
"Fine, since it's fake, there's no need to drink it. I apologize to you." Chen Yu snatched the tea over and tossed it aside. With a *crack*, the tea canister shattered, and the Taibai Silver Needle inside spilled all over the floor.
"You, you, you... what are you doing?" Ye Taihe beat his chest and stamped his feet. "It was perfectly fine, why did you smash it?"
"Sorry, Dad, I was deceived by someone. Since it's fake, let's just throw it away; there's no need for you to hold onto it so tightly," Chen Yu sneered.
Ye Taihe was so choked up he couldn't say a word. His heart was bleeding; he probably wouldn't get to drink such top-grade Silver Needle again in his life. If he had known, he wouldn't have put on such an act.
A waiter entered, cleaned up the shards, and everyone began to order food.
"In-laws, take a look." Chen Wenzhong handed over the menu and accompanied it with a smile. "This is our first meeting; please forgive us for any lack of hospitality."
"For a first meeting, you choose such a shabby place to eat? A friend of mine's in-laws host dinners at the Skyscraper World Center in Fengling, spending over a hundred thousand on a single meal." Wang Xueqin glanced at the menu without even taking it.
Chen Wenzhong's expression changed, and his hand holding the menu froze in mid-air.
"Look at what kind of food is here? It's all home-style cooking; even pigs wouldn't eat this stuff. How do you have the nerve to invite us to eat here?" Ye Taihe snorted.
"Then do you eat gold at home?" Chen Yu was furious. This couple was deliberately trying to intimidate his father.
"Shut up." Chen Wenzhong glared at Chen Yu, then apologized with a smile. "I'm sorry, in-laws. This is my first time in Fengling, and I don't know what places are good. How about we change locations?"
"No need to change. Looking at your rustic appearance, even if we changed locations, you probably wouldn't be able to find a good one," Wang Xueqin said disdainfully. "Your Chen Yu really hit the jackpot by marrying our Xinyu."
"Our Xinyu is a lady of high breeding, possessing both beauty and temperament. Back then, the line of people pursuing her was long, and even now that she's pregnant, there are big bosses with net worths over ten billion waiting for her to divorce and marry them."
Wang Xueqin rolled her eyes. "Your son comes from a rustic background and is an orphan you picked up. Tell me, where did he get such luck?"
Chen Wenzhong's expression changed. He didn't mind Wang Xueqin giving him trouble, but belittling Chen Yu was something he couldn't accept. However, he still glared at Chen Yu, who was about to lash out, and forced a smile. "What the in-laws say is true."
"Chen Yu made mistakes in the past and didn't act correctly, but he has changed now. In the future, in Fengling, I hope you two can look after him."
"I toast you with this glass of wine." Chen Wenzhong poured a glass of red wine for Wang Xueqin and personally carried it to her.
Wang Xueqin took the wine, took a sip, then frowned and spat it out with a *pfft*. She shrieked, "What kind of wine is this? Is this fit for human consumption? I only drink Royal Salute when it comes to red wine."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Chen Yu, what wine is this?" Chen Wenzhong was startled.
"Tell her, this is Romanee-Conti, worth hundreds of thousands a bottle." Chen Yu clenched his fists, holding back from lashing out.
"What kind of bullshit Romanee-Conti? It's probably fake. Chen Yu, you're deliberately trying to poison our family. You're unhappy that we're staying at your place, aren't you? You brought your hick father here today to intentionally disgust us, right?"
Wang Xueqin shrieked, "Do you really think of yourself as a person? Do you really think you're something special just because you've made a little money and know a few people? Let me tell you, I look down on you from the bottom of my heart. People like you are base and lowly to the core."
"If it weren't for the fact that you are Xinyu's biological mother, I would have already slapped you across the face." Chen Yu stood up and stared fixedly at Wang Xueqin.
"Xiaoyu, don't be impulsive." Yun Yi hurriedly pulled at Chen Yu, fearing he wouldn't be able to stop himself from taking action.
"Heh, you think Xinyu is really working overtime today? Let me tell you, Chen Yu, she came here deliberately to avoid you. She has a successful career now and doesn't need to rely on you at all. Tell me, in what way are you worthy of her? Do you believe that if you two divorced today, someone would immediately step in to take your place?" Wang Xueqin raged.
"In-laws, don't be angry, let's talk this over calmly." Chen Wenzhong stepped forward to pull her, trying to persuade her to sit down. "Xiaoyu, apologize."
"Who are you? Take your dirty hands off me. Do you have the qualifications to touch me?" Wang Xueqin shrieked and picked up the glass of red wine on the table, splashing it violently onto Chen Wenzhong's face.
"Dad..." Chen Yu was furious. He stepped forward to pull his father away. "Wang Xueqin, what do you want? Try insulting my father one more time."
Chen Yu was truly enraged to the extreme. His father had been diligent his whole life, yet now he couldn't even hold his head up in front of Wang Xueqin and her husband? He really couldn't stop himself from wanting to take action.
"Chen Yu, what do you want to do? Are you trying to hit my mother?" The door opened, and Ye Xinyu rushed in. Seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but be furious.
"I didn't want to take action. You look at what she did to my father first." Chen Yu pointed at Wang Xueqin. "From the moment we met my father, your parents have been making things difficult for him in every way, even insulting him. Don't you think this is going too far?"
"Xinyu, Chen Yu is really going too far. Your father just said the tea he brought wasn't good, and he smashed the tea right away. I said this wine tasted average, and he came over to take action. And this father-in-law of yours, he even tried to get handsy with me just now."
Wang Xueqin wiped her tears and said, "I really don't know what kind of family you married into. It doesn't matter if Mom and Dad suffer a little, but what are you going to do?"
"Wang Xueqin, you're quite skilled at turning black into white." Chen Yu looked at Wang Xueqin in disbelief; he was furious to the extreme.
From the very beginning, this woman had been stirring up trouble, and now, in the blink of an eye, his own father had become the villain?
"Chen Yu, give me an explanation." Ye Xinyu's face was cold.
"I give you an explanation?" Chen Yu pointed at the wine on Chen Wenzhong's body. "Your mother splashed wine all over my father's face, and you want me to give you an explanation?"
"If he hadn't tried to get handsy with me, why would I have splashed him? Xinyu, no wonder Chen Yu is like that; it turns out he has such an indecent father," Wang Xueqin said, acting aggrieved.
