Actually, after hearing about Lin Yifan's deeds yesterday, friends and relatives in Qingshi Town were eager to pay him a visit.

However, since it was already late at night, they gave up the idea.

Now it was daytime, and just as they want to pay him a visit, Lin Tianwen said he would come to see them, which disrupted all their plans.

By now, Lin Yifan had become a prominent figure, a big boss, and they absolutely could not neglect him, so they all prepared delicious dishes and waited at home for Lin Yifan and his family to visit.

However, some friends and relatives who did not receive the notice ended up being snubbed.

The moment Lin Yifan and his family left the village, they arrived, and it indeed became a laughing matter.

When he was poor, you did not lend a hand; now that he is wealthy, you want to establish ties. Where in the world is there such a good deal for you to exploit? You are daydreaming.

Since there were only a few relatives to visit, Lin Yifan aimed to finish visiting these friends and relatives within a day, then moved on to other matters.

Next, at every visit, they had a casual chat and a big meal; after that, they went to the next house.

The presence of Zhou Jiajia and her group astounded each relative; of course, these relatives only knew Zhou Jiajia as Lin Yifan's girlfriend, nothing else.

After learning that Lin Yifan was no longer single, these relatives all hoped Lin Yifan would get married soon and have children early.

This made Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia somewhat awkward; they still wanted to enjoy a period of romantic life and did not want to marry and have children so soon.

At each relative's house Lin Yifan visited, he gave them a sum of money to spend well and alleviate their difficulties. In fact, it amounted to thanking them for their economic and manpower help to his family in the past.

The relatives all declined the money; Lin Yifan knew they were just being polite, so they pushed back and forth, spending some time pushing the money away, fulfilling their wishes.

After visiting six relatives, Lin Yifan and his family returned home exhausted.

At that time, those unwelcomed relatives were still waiting in front of their house, unwilling to let go of Lin Yifan, the tycoon.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan had no choice but to be straightforward, "In the past, when we needed help, you stood by indifferently; now that we are moving towards wealth, you are more obliging than ever. What do you think we are? Your money tree?"

These snubbed relatives were left speechless. However, in order to cling to Lin Yifan, this money tree, they insisted on not leaving and actively apologized and admitted their wrongs, "Yifan, I know we did many wrong things in the past, but please, considering that we also had a hard time, forgive us!"

"You had a hard time? Which among you had a family background worse than my Aunt Six? Please, tell me loudly!" Lin Yifan questioned publicly, furious beyond words.

He never expected that for the sake of profit, these people could be so shameless. It really blinded him.

These clinging relatives were left speechless once again; honestly, none of them were in worse condition than Lin Yifan's Aunt Six.

Whenever Lin Tianwen's family encountered difficulties, Aunt Six always tried her best to help; when there was no money, she would lend a hand to help the Lin Family with her own efforts.

Each time they heard about these acts, they scoffed and sneered, thinking that Aunt Six was foolish to spend her money and sweat on ungrateful people.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, possibility shifts like the flow of a river: A poor boy of yesterday leaped to become a big boss today; and Lin Tianwen's family overnight became rich, turning into the wealthiest family in Qingshi Town. Their sneers were resoundingly slapped back in their faces.

"Nothing to say, huh? If you have nothing to say, get out! The Lin Family doesn't need relatives like you who are solely here for their own benefit!" Lin Yifan scolded without giving them any face.

At this moment, Lin Tianwen and his wife were somewhat unable to watch anymore, so they intervened, "Yifan, don't make the words too harsh. After all, we are all relatives, and they have helped us quite a bit in the past!"

"Exactly! They did help us a lot before, but we also helped them a lot. It's all evened out. If they hadn't abandoned us in our toughest times, I wouldn't be so resentful and angry," Lin Yifan responded.

Sometimes, adversity reveals true intentions – whether sincere or hypocritical, one test is all it takes to know.

Since they chose to abandon us initially, why should we feel the need to forgive them now? Everyone chooses their own path; if it's the wrong one, they have only themselves to blame.

Lin Tianwen and his wife had nothing to respond; indeed, they too had had enough of the cold stares.

Seeing how "unmerciful and disloyal" Lin Yifan was, these unwelcome relatives gave up struggling and chose to leave.

There's no such thing as a pill of regret; you reap what you sow.

Once these unwelcome relatives had left, Lin Yifan and his family finally unlocked the door and rested at home.

After running around all day, they were indeed very exhausted.

After a quick shower, they went to bed to rest.

In the dead of night, that ghostly voice appeared again, "Prey, soon you will fall into my clutches, hehe!"

At this moment, Lin Yifan and Xiaofang got up again and looked out at the night sky through the window.

But everything was so calm, with no signs of anything unusual.

The next day, just as Lin Yifan was about to take his parents to Lishan City to look at houses, the Town Chief of Qingshi Town arrived at their doorstep with a crowd.

Initially, Lin Yifan didn't understand why the Town Chief had come; gradually, he understood that he and Xiaofang were wanted as "sacrificial offerings."

"What? You want my son and his friend to go to the cave in the back mountain, what do you mean by this?" Lin Tianwen asked angrily.

Everyone in Qingshi Town knew not to provoke the Buddha statue on the back mountain; otherwise, it ain't just about devouring livestock; hence, she felt the Town Chief and his people were pushing her son and daughter-in-law towards a deadly abyss.

"Last night, the Mountain God came to me in a dream, asking me to bring a person in a black suit and a person in a pink dress from your family to the back mountain. It said it wants to meet these two favored by the God of Fortune, and also mentioned that these two have something important to convey to it," the Town Chief explained meticulously.

He didn't know what the Mountain God meant, but since it was an order from the Mountain God, he would just have to follow it.

"No way! I am not letting my son and his friend go," Lin Tianwen flatly refused.

He sensed that the deity on the back mountain was about to devour a human once more.

"Mr. Lin, please do the Mountain God a favor. It's really eager to meet your son and his friend. Otherwise, if a disaster strikes Qingshi Town, it would be powerless to help," the Town Chief pleaded.

"Are you saying my son and his friend have vital information for the Mountain God? What kind of international joke is this? My son and his friend have never even seen the Mountain God, so how could they possibly have a message for it?" Lin Tianwen scoffed and questioned.
