Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

At this moment, the hall was packed with people, all of whom had arrived and were looking at Lin Ping and Jiang Yunying with surprised eyes.

They're just...too well-matched!

They were a perfect match, a truly handsome couple, immediately making Zhang Hongyuan and Su Lianlian pale in comparison.

Although Su Lianlian is not bad-looking, she lacks a certain temperament and is far inferior to Jiang Yunying.

Lin Ping was originally the most handsome man in Jiangcheng Prefecture, but his character was not good. Now, after a proper makeover, he has become a handsome young man, leaving Zhang Hongyuan far behind.

In terms of both clothing and demeanor, Jiang Yunying and Lin Ping were far superior to each other, making the engagement banquet seem more like it was organized for the two of them.

Su Lianlian had already wiped away her tears and was now gently and virtuously accompanying Zhang Hongyuan, determined to make the most of her role as a socialite.

Lin Ping chuckled and took two steps forward, startling Zhang Hongyuan so much that he stumbled, and Su Lianlian's heart tightened as well.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? I, Lin Ping, never eat people!" Lin Ping pretended to be harmless.

I don't believe you for a second! You're the kind of person who eats people without spitting out the bones; this time, you're definitely up to no good.

"Just happy."

Zhang Hongyuan forced himself to remain calm, instinctively shielding Su Lianlian behind him, genuinely afraid that Lin Ping, that devil, would capture her.

"That's right, we should be happy. Captain, you are so lucky to have married Miss Su. Lianlian is not only beautiful, but also skilled in martial arts. Most importantly, she is very affectionate!" Lin Ping rambled on.

Zhang Hongyuan didn't know what "good hand skills" meant, but he always felt that Lin Ping wasn't that kind-hearted and wouldn't change his ways to offer help.

“Of course, I like Lianlian's loyalty the most,” Zhang Hongyuan said, puffing out his chest and raising his head.

Although Su Lianlian was somewhat famous in Jiangcheng Prefecture, she was merely a socialite who liked to show her face in public. She was even categorized as a heartless prostitute and an unrighteous actress. Therefore, what Su Lianlian most wanted to hear was that she valued loyalty and righteousness.

“Of course!” Lin Ping echoed, “If she weren’t sentimental, she wouldn’t have kept wearing that little red dress I gave her!”

"Wait! I'm a bit confused! Let me sort this out!"

Zhang Hongyuan was stunned, trying hard to digest the meaning behind Lin Ping's words.

First of all, the red top that Su Lianlian often wore was actually a gift from Lin Ping!

Secondly, how did Lin Ping know that Su Lianlian was also wearing that red dress today?

Zhang Hongyuan's face immediately lit up with rage, and he glared at Su Lianlian with gritted teeth, wishing he could immediately commit domestic violence against her.

In his view, the other party was likely still hanging out with Lin Ping at this critical juncture.

Su Lianlian cried in distress, her carefully cultivated socialite image shattered in an instant.

She was, after all, a woman, and was powerless to refute Lin Ping's insults. She could only grit her teeth and stare at him, anticipating the next show.

Jiang Yunying pinched Lin Ping hard. First, as a woman, she sympathized with Su Lianlian's plight. Second, she didn't understand how Lin Ping knew that the other party was wearing a red undergarment.

Lin Ping chuckled awkwardly and whispered in Jiang Yunying's ear, "Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"

"Of course I'll believe you. My husband never lies." Jiang Yunying smiled, but secretly increased the pressure on her hand.

Lin Ping was in so much pain he almost screamed. His mouth was already shaped like an "O". In order not to let anyone see through his act, he quickly cleared his mouth and said, "Oh! I actually forgot to give the Captain a congratulatory gift."

Zhang Hongyuan really wanted to wave his hand to refuse, fearing that Lin Ping would cause him more trouble.

However, Li Mingxuan had already placed the two exquisite jade pieces in front of everyone, which immediately became a beautiful sight.

"Two jade wolves, presumably to symbolize that the Captain's martial arts are so high that they are even more ferocious than wild wolves!" said one of the people nearby, clicking his tongue in admiration for Lin Ping's generosity.

Judging from the color and clarity of the jade, it is of superior quality and must be quite valuable.

"Would this guy really be so kind?" Zhang Hongyuan looked at the two jade wolves, which were about the same size, incredulously, wondering what Lin Ping was up to.

At the same time, an old man in black robes standing nearby looked rather embarrassed and even frowned, but he didn't say anything.

"Someone who knows the stuff!" Lin Ping was overjoyed and quickly summoned Li Mingxuan to inquire about the man's identity.

Just as everyone was marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship of the jade wolf, Lin Ping walked up to the old man and respectfully said, "This is a treasure I obtained by chance, but I do not know its meaning. I would be grateful if Dr. Huang would be so kind as to enlighten me!"

The old man's name was Huang Liang. He was a Doctor of the Five Classics at the Jiangcheng Prefecture School, holding the rank of fifth grade, a high position, and was respected by the people.

Dedicated to teaching and nurturing students, and never forming cliques or engaging in personal gain, he would not have appeared at this occasion if Xiao Chengyou had not repeatedly invited him.

Huang Liang glanced at Lin Ping, knowing he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. He originally didn't want to answer, but the onlookers were so curious that they were vying to get him to answer.

As a scholar of the Five Classics, Huang Liang had an obligation to teach and answer questions. So, after paying full respects to the high-ranking officials around him, he replied, "These are not two jade wolves. The lame one is named Bei!"

After Huang Mengliang pointed it out, everyone noticed that one of the jade wolves was lame, and they nodded in agreement.

"This wolf and the jackal are called 'colluding like wolves in sheep's clothing'..." Huang Liang explained the meaning of the term in detail with a gloomy face and some embarrassment.

"Oh...so you were in cahoots!" Lin Ping feigned sudden realization, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect and saying, "I've learned my lesson!"

Although Lin Ping said that he obtained the two treasures by chance, anyone with discerning eyes could see that he was making a veiled attack.

They're in cahoots! It's infuriating!

Zhang Hongyuan's face was clouded with anger, as if a torrential downpour was about to begin. Even the prefect was gritting his teeth, but he couldn't blame Lin Ping, since the other party had said that he didn't understand the meaning behind it before.

"Oh dear!" Lin Ping slapped the back of his head and exclaimed, "If this happens, the Captain and Miss Fang will be in cahoots! We can't send them! We can't send them!"

Lin Ping shook his head repeatedly and ordered Li Mingxuan to take back the "gift".

"It wouldn't be right to not give a congratulatory gift, would it?" Lin Ping looked troubled, scratching his head repeatedly. Finally, his eyes lit up and he continued, "I remember now, the young master also prepared a congratulatory gift for the captain!"

Everyone watched as Lin Ping directed and acted out his own scheme, wondering what other tricks he could pull. If Zhang Hongyuan knew what Jiang Yunyu was hiding in his sleeve, he would surely accept the "collusion."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Jiang Yunyu felt a little timid and even stuffed the gift into his sleeve.

Lin Ping was not happy about this. He pulled a rectangular, exquisite wooden box from Jiang Yunyu's loose sleeve, which immediately dazzled everyone's eyes...

It was a coffin!

Sending a coffin to someone's engagement party!

You, Lin Ping, truly have a long and leisurely life!

Jiang Yunying covered her pretty face with her jade-like hand, suddenly feeling a reluctance to hold his hand. This husband... was too insidious...
