The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 70: Chapter 68 Blood Sun Ring

Lin Jianguo had long prepared a gift worth millions, but when he saw Liu Yufan unveil such a prized jade lion, he felt too embarrassed to present his million-level gift.

He had thought Mr. Ye had prepared a surprise that would astonish them all; instead, Mr. Ye had brought out such a piece of junk.

”Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. This good-for-nothing has always been trash for marrying into the Lin Family, just a man living off his wife. How could he possibly afford to give anything of value? Let’s not mention him anymore. The most important thing is to be aware of your own worth. I don’t care about the gift itself, the thought is what counts...” Liu Yuetao said indifferently.

Everyone began to praise him, ”It’s really decent of Elder Liu! If I had such a son-in-law, I would have slapped him senseless long ago!”

People kept mocking Mr. Ye, increasing Lin Shiyu and Lin Jianguo’s embarrassment until they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

”A bunch of shortsighted fools!” At that moment, a roar echoed through everyone’s ears.

Everyone was stunned, seeing Minister Li stand up, his eyes filled with anger.

”You idiots, you have no idea the value of this ring!” Minister Li exclaimed, then quickly approached Mr. Ye and asked respectfully, ”Mr. Ye, may I have a look at your ring?”

”Sure,” Mr. Ye nodded slightly and handed the ring to Minister Li.

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Minister Li, unable to guess his intentions.

”Indeed, it’s the Blood Sun Ring, the Blood Sun Ring!” Minister Li shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked at Minister Li in wonder, completely unable to imagine if what Mr. Ye gave could be something valuable.

”Minister Li, you recognize this ring?” Liu Yuetao asked uncertainly.

”Nonsense, of course, I know it! I can’t believe I am seeing it here. This ring’s value far surpasses the jade lion!” Minister Li declared.

”That’s impossible, how can such a small ring be better than my jade lion?” Liu Yufan refused to believe.

Minister Li didn’t bother with Liu Yufan but instead told Liu Yuetao, ”This is called the Blood Sun Ring, crafted by the previous generation’s craft master of Dragon Country, from a Thousand-year-old Blood Sun Crystal Stone. There are fewer than ten in the world! I have seen it worn by some truly significant people in our Dragon Country. Indeed, this is a treasure.

Wearing this ring can nourish the body, extend life, and if worn for more than ten years, no ordinary poison can harm you; you need not fear being poisoned! Rumor has it, wearing this ring can extend your life by fifteen years. Just imagine how terrifying its value is!”

”What!” Instantly, the room burst into commotion, faces displaying shock and disbelief.

After all, Minister Li’s description of the ring was so fantastical, it was beyond normal comprehension.

Li Yuetao was dumbfounded as he stared at Minister Li, ”Minister Li, don’t deceive me, how can it be so magical?”

”Who am I, don’t all of you present know? Would I deceive you? If you don’t believe it, just wear it and see for yourself, then you’ll know if it has magical effects!” Minister Li addressed Liu Yuetao.

Then, Minister Li handed the Blood Sun Ring to Liu Yuetao. After Liu Yuetao put it on his thumb, Minister Li immediately felt a gentle force emanating from the ring, enveloping his entire body, making him feel a warm flow throughout.

His fatigue vanished in an instant, and his spirits lifted tremendously.

”Amazing! What a magical item!” Liu Yuetao exclaimed excitedly, thinking of Minister Li’s words. If wearing the Blood Sun Ring could extend his life by over a decade, he felt overjoyed.

Minister Li coolly said, ”Elder Liu, no offense, but the gift your son-in-law gave is much more valuable than your grandson’s. You could set its value at three billion and sell it off in minutes. I truly do not understand where your grandson gets his confidence, thinking his gift surpasses Mr. Ye’s, even daring to look down on him?”

After hearing Minister Li’s words, everyone felt embarrassed, their faces burning hot. They had just belittled Mr. Ye, but now reality had slapped them in the face.

Liu Guixiang, watching this scene unfold, was furious, ”That bastard, possessing such a fine item and yet not showing any filial piety towards me, his mother-in-law. Just you wait!”

Meanwhile, Liu Yufan’s expression turned utterly dark. His father had instructed him to teach Mr. Ye a lesson by asserting his superiority in all aspects—abilities and wealth. Presenting a gift was meant to showcase his wealth.

Yet, unexpectedly, Mr. Ye had turned the tables, making his own gift seem completely inferior.

Liu Yuetao looked at Mr. Ye and asked, ”Mr. Ye, with such valuable possession, where did you obtain it?”

”Oh, it was a gift from a friend...” Mr. Ye responded lightly.

In reality, the ring was awarded to Mr. Ye by Dragon Country for his distinguished military services at the Southern Border.

With items of the same caliber as the Blood Sun Ring, Mr. Ye had many; clearly, he couldn’t just reveal that truth.

”Oh? Your friend must be no ordinary person. Could you introduce me sometime?” Liu Yuetao asked.

Mr. Ye casually replied, ”We’ll see...”

Everyone looked enviously at Mr. Ye, feeling that he had incredible luck to have such a valuable item bestowed upon him by a friend.

Minister Li even praised, ”To possess such a treasure and willingly give it away without hesitation, Mr. Ye, you are truly a respectful son-in-law. Elder Liu, you are truly blessed!”

”Hehehe~~” Liu Yuetao chuckled, ”It’s nothing, nothing, you flatter me, Minister Li!”

Although he said so, Liu Yuetao deep down still looked down on Mr. Ye, feeling no gratitude and believing that Mr. Ye was just doing what was expected of him.
