Humiliation

Ye Changqing saw that Zhao Qiuyan still didn't believe him. Looking at her charming appearance, he felt even more attracted to her. "You have to believe me. Since we met, have I ever lied to you? From a doctor's perspective, I am the doctor and you are the patient. You must listen to me and cooperate with me!"

Zhao Qiuyan's face was full of anger. She was really furious. Her breathing became faster, and her chest heaved violently.

Wasn't this a lie? This lecher not only wanted to sleep with her but also wanted her to listen to him and cooperate with him! It was too much!

"Ye Changqing, don't go too far. I know you helped me, but you can't make such a request. If you continue like this, I'll really be angry!"

Ye Changqing sighed in his heart. It was hopeless. Looking at such an alluring person, he could only endure it. He would have to wait for the next opportunity.

"Your condition... isn't serious. If you don't agree to the treatment, you can do it later. Let's go to sleep. You sleep on the left, and I'll sleep on the right."

After saying that, Ye Changqing went straight to bed.

Zhao Qiuyan watched Ye Changqing get into bed. She frowned again. She wanted Ye Changqing to sleep on the floor, but after thinking about it, she decided to compromise. To avoid embarrassment, she turned on the light and carefully got into bed.

Ye Changqing thought of the beautiful woman lying beside him, breathing in the quilt with a faint fragrance. He felt that the soft bed seemed to have thorns. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

Zhao Qiuyan curled up into a ball. She was afraid that Ye Changqing might suddenly do something. Thinking of a man beside her, her face became hot from time to time.

Two people with trembling hearts and burning desires were in the same room, breathing heavily.

Some time later, they fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when Ye Changqing opened his eyes, he found that he was alone in the bed. Touching the warm quilt beside him, he murmured, "Another night endured."

Hearing noises outside, he quickly got up, washed, and had breakfast. Then he followed Zhao Qiuyan to buy clothes, have their hair done, and help prepare for the banquet. He also accompanied Zhao Qiuyan to notify relatives and friends.

The day passed like this.

The next day, the birthday banquet finally began.

The Zhao family's house was filled with numerous friends and guests.

Zhao Mingtao was in high spirits today. "Thank you all for coming. For my wife's birthday and for my daughter Qiuyan becoming the president of Fengnian Group, let's make a toast!"

Everyone stood up one after another, and birthday wishes and congratulations filled the air.

When everyone sat down again, Zhao Mingfeng signaled to his son. "It's your turn."

Zhao Qiushan stood up. "Today is Third Aunt's birthday. I have a jade bracelet worth one hundred thousand yuan. I wish Third Aunt a happy birthday, a life envied by many, and all the best!"

As he spoke, he handed a small box to Zhang Yufen.

Zhang Yufen was a little excited. She didn't expect Zhao Qiushan, who had always been disrespectful to her, to be so generous. She secretly felt proud. It was good that her daughter became the president. Everyone now had to look up to her. She said with a smile, "Thank you, Qiushan. I'll tell Yan Yan to arrange a good job for you."

Zhao Qiuyan sneered at the corner of her mouth. Be proud. You'll cry later.

She took out a gift box, walked forward with a smile, and handed it to Zhang Yufen. As if she accidentally saw Ye Changqing, she said in a joking tone, "Changqing, today is your future mother - in - law's birthday. I don't know what gift you'll give?"

This sentence made everyone's eyes focus on Ye Changqing.

Everyone knew that Zhao Qiuyan was one of the four most beautiful women in Kyoto, known as the Ice Beauty. Many young masters from wealthy families were eager to pursue her, but she was as cold as ice.

She actually had a boyfriend, and many people wanted to see what kind of boyfriend he was.

Some craned their necks, and some stood up.

When they saw Ye Changqing, they immediately started to discuss.

"I've never seen him before. I've never heard of such a young talent in Kyoto."

"I've seen all the young talents in the capital. He seems rather ordinary."

"The Ice Beauty has high standards. The man she fancies must be a young man with an extraordinary family background and outstanding abilities."

Ye Changqing frowned. This guy clearly wanted to make him look bad. Fortunately, he had bought a gift today and had already given it to his future mother - in - law.

He was about to speak when Zhao Qiuyan said, "He bought a necklace and has already given it to my mother."

Zhao Qiushan gave a sarcastic smile. "I heard that you paid for the necklace. You two aren't married yet, not a family. What you bought is just your own gesture. If he doesn't buy a gift for his future mother - in - law's birthday, that's really impolite."

Zhao Qiuyan was secretly shocked. When buying the necklace, Ye Changqing's mobile phone wasn't linked to his bank card, so she paid. Zhao Qiushan even knew about this. He must have followed them yesterday.

But Zhao Qiushan did have a point. She wanted to defend Ye Changqing but couldn't find a reason to refute.

Zhang Yufen and Zhao Mingtao both looked gloomy. They had said that Ye Changqing shouldn't attend the banquet, but their daughter objected, and now they had completely lost face.

Everyone attending the banquet today knew that the Zhao family had intense internal strife.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend was also dragged into this.

Everyone around looked at Ye Changqing to see how this man, who had captured the Ice Beauty's heart, would respond.

Ye Changqing was very grateful to Zhao Qiuyan for helping him out. Yesterday, Zhao Qiuyan accompanied him to buy clothes and was very considerate to him. He remembered all of this.

Since Zhao Qiushan provoked, he had to fight back. In everyone's gaze, he slowly stood up and looked at Zhao Qiushan. "My gift isn't valuable. I originally planned to take it out after the banquet. Since you said that, I'll give it now."

Zhao Qiushan curled his lips. "I know you're from Songjiang City. I guess you can't get a decent gift from a small place. Just take it out. We won't laugh."

Ye Changqing's gaze towards Zhao Qiushan suddenly became sharp. "Okay, it's just a small thing. Then take a look."

Seeing this, everyone became more curious. Many people stood up.

Zhang Yufen's face turned livid. As expected, Ye Changqing was going to make them lose face. She already regretted holding this birthday banquet today.

Zhao Mingtao's face looked even worse. Having no son all his life, his daughter finally became the president, surpassing the boys from other branches in ability. Finally, they could have a moment of glory, but unexpectedly, they met a useless son - in - law.

He didn't dare to see what Ye Changqing would take out.

Ye Changqing raised his left hand, rolled up his sleeve, revealing an old - looking watch on his wrist. He slowly took it off and held it in his hand. "This is the gift I prepared."

An old watch just taken off his wrist?

Many guests stared with wide eyes, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Various discussions ensued.

"Oh my god, giving an old watch as a gift to his mother - in - law?"

"And it's just taken off his hand. That's so insincere."

"When giving gifts, it should be new and valuable. This guy gives a used, broken watch. He clearly doesn't take his mother - in - law seriously!"

Zhang Yufen was so angry that her body trembled. Thinking of the upcoming humiliation, she wished there was a crack in the ground to swallow her up.

Unfortunately, there was no crack, and she could only sit there, continuing to endure all kinds of cold - eyed ridicule.

Zhao Qiushan's eyes showed a hint of excitement. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

He raised his voice and said slowly, "This broken watch isn't even worth picking up by a junk collector, and he dares to give it as a gift? Being poor is already embarrassing, and he's also so rude! Qiuyan, is this the boyfriend you found?"

In the crowd, an old man stood up and said coldly, "You're blind! This watch is priceless, yet you call it trash!"

Zhao Qiushan was stunned when he saw that the speaker was Qian Shibei. Qian Shibei was a wealthy man who made his fortune from antiques. He couldn't figure out why Qian Shibei would help Ye Changqing. "Uncle Qian, are you mistaken?"

Qian Shibei looked at the watch, reached out to touch it, but then withdrew his hand. "There's no mistake! If I'm wrong, I'll quit the antique business for the rest of my life. This is a real treasure, an antique with commemorative significance. Back then, Napoleon wanted to give a gift to his beloved concubine. To please her, he creatively customized a bracelet that could tell time. Later, many noblewomen imitated it and started wearing time - telling bracelets, and watches became popular. This is the time - telling bracelet that Napoleon gave to his concubine. It's also the world's first watch. The value of this watch is immeasurable!"
