by his side, stood a young man of about thirty, trembling with fear."Bang!"The white-haired old man slapped the young man's face with his backhand, roaring angrily: "You bastard! Look what you've done...Chapter 7
Yang Chen was just about to explain, but Qin Xi scolded, "Shut up!"
"Mommy, I'm hungry!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's voice rang out at just the right time.
Hearing that her daughter was hungry, Qin Xi looked at Qin Fu and said, "Dad, let's eat!"
Qin Father's name was Qin Dayong. Because he had no abilities, his status in the Qin family was extremely low. However, Qin Xi was exceptionally capable and was highly valued by the head of the Qin family.
It can be said that the family's current living standard is all thanks to Qin Xi, so in this family, Qin Xi holds a high position. However, when it comes to marriage, both Qin's father and mother are very domineering.
Because the car of Su Chengwu, the richest man in Jiangzhou, appeared, and he even brought heavy gifts, Wang Jian didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He didn't even eat his meal and left with an excuse.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after all the relatives had left, Qin Mu Zhou Yucui looked at Qin Yi and said, "Yiyi, you take Xiaoxiao back to your room first."
Qin Yi understood that Zhou Yucui was going to give her cheap brother-in-law a talking-to, and she glanced at Yang Chen with a gloating expression. She then pulled Qin Xiaoxiao away: "Xiaoxiao, let's go play hide-and-seek with Auntie."
Although Qin Xiaoxiao really wanted to stay with her father, when she heard that her aunt was going to play games with her, she skipped over and took her aunt's hand.
In the hall, only Qin Dayong, Zhou Yucui, Qin Xi and Yang Chen remained.
"Yang Chen, since you're back, there are some things we need to make clear." Zhou Y cuit cleared her throat and suddenly spoke, no longer as sharp and sarcastic as when she first saw Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded and respectfully said, "Mom, please just speak your mind."
Zhou Y Cu i then said: "You know, five years ago, you and Xiaoxi were framed, which led to your marriage. There was no emotional foundation between you in the first place. You left without a word after just getting married. Over the years, Xiaoxi has had to be both a father and a mother, enduring countless hardships and suffering from rumors. You have no idea what she's been through. Even her own company, Sanhe Group, which she founded with her own hands, was forcibly taken over by the family. All of this is thanks to you."
Yang Chen's heart ached. He knew these things weren't something Zhou Y cuit had casually fabricated; they were the truth.
He had been gone for five years, especially with Qin Xi being pregnant. It's easy to imagine how much bad talk there would be about her.
Qin Xi was also red-eyed, her pearly white teeth biting tightly on her crimson lips.
"Mom, I understand what you're saying. But please rest assured, this time I'm coming back to make amends to Xiao Xi and Xiao Xiao. From now on, I promise I won't let you down again."
Yang Chen wore a serious expression, his words full of sincerity. He didn't know what to say, he could only express himself with his own sincerity.
"Dare you talk to us about the future"
At this moment, Qin Dayong suddenly stood up, his face full of anger: "Do you treat my daughter as a commodity Take it if you want, and throw it away if you don't"
Qin Dayong said, pointing to the table laden with gold and silver jewelry: “Look at what others have brought to marry my daughter. You’re nothing but a pauper. Just because you've served in the army for five years, do you think you can give my daughter happiness My daughter has been wasted on you for five years. Tomorrow morning, you two will go get a divorce.”
Zhou Y cui was also infected by Qin Dayong's words, her face full of tears, she said crying: "Old Qin is right, you go get a divorce tomorrow. There are so many men who want to marry my daughter, they could line up all the way around Jiangzhou. But you, you waste! You have ruined her, and you still want to pester her. If you really love her, then divorce her."
Yang Chen's face was full of sorrow. No matter what his in-laws said or did to him, he felt it was deserved. Thinking about Qin Xi bearing everything alone for so many years, his heart ached even more.
Five years ago, the reason he left was that he wasn't worthy of Qin Xi. Only by joining the army could he possibly carve out a world for himself and be worthy of Qin Xi. But he didn't know, only once, Qin Xi actually became pregnant.
Qin Xi had long been in tears, her face streaked with them. Years of carrying everything alone had made her incredibly strong. Even though tears streamed down her face, she still refused to let out a sound of crying.
Seeing Qin Xi's pained expression, Yang Chen felt even more distressed.
Now, even if Qin Xi wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pick them for her. But the question is, would Qin Xi be willing to accept them
Only now did he realize that it had always been a one-sided love. In fact, he had liked her since five years ago, but Qin Xi never looked at him properly. Even when they were framed and became husband and wife, even when they married for the sake of family honor, as Qin Dayong said, there was no foundation of feelings between them.
Yet Yang Chen arrogantly believed that as long as he was worthy of Qin Xi, he could make her happy.
At this moment, he realized he was wrong!
Wrong for five whole years!
Bang!
Yang Chen suddenly stood up and knelt heavily towards Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucun. With a loud bang, the entire room seemed to tremble.
"Greetings to my in-laws, please accept Yang Chen's bow!" Yang Chen's expression was solemn and respectful.
Bang!
His forehead slammed heavily against the hard marble floor.
"Yang Chen, what are you doing"
Seeing the blood oozing from Yang Chen's forehead, Zhou Yucui let out a startled cry.
"You dare try to win Qin Xi's forgiveness with a pathetic act."
Qin Dayong was also surprised, then looked at Qin Xi who was crying: "Little Xi, don't be fooled by his act of playing the victim. This kind of trash, you should never forgive him."
Bang!
Yang Chen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and then bowed heavily, bowing his head.
"Yang Chen bows again, thanking the two elders for their care of Xiao Xi and Xiao Xiao these years."
Then, farewell!
"Over the past five years, Yang Chen has failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father, causing Xiaoxing to endure countless rumors and gossip. It's made Xiaoxiao grow up without a father. I am sorry to her parents-in-law, and even more so to Xiaoxing and Xiaoxiao!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every bow was made with tremendous force, as if only in this way could some of the pain in his heart be alleviated.
After dozens of bows, Yang Chen's forehead was already bleeding profusely.
On the side, Qin Xi had already tears streaming down her face.
Yang Chen finally stood up. At this moment, he suddenly felt much lighter. He walked to Qin Xi who was burying her face in her hands and suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, let's get a divorce!"
Upon hearing Yang Chen's words, Qin Xi trembled all over. Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucun were also astonished and surprised.
Qin Xi trembled and stood up. She bit her red lips tightly, her makeup was already smudged, but it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Slap!
"Divorce"
She slapped Yang Chen's face and angrily said, "What do you take me for"
"I admit, five years ago, you were also a victim. You weren't willing to marry me, and you could have refused. Why, after we're already married, do you want to leave"
"After you left, how much gossip and slander I endured, how much grievance I suffered, do you know My daughter was bullied at kindergarten by other children who called her a "bastard without a father," do you know"
"My daughter holds our only wedding photo and asks me countless times when Daddy will be back. Do you know how heartbreaking that is for me"
"After I finally waited for my husband to come back, and our daughter finally waited for her father to return home, you tell me that you want a divorce"
"You tell me, can you live up to me Or your daughter"
Qin Xi finally completely exploded, crying out loud, as if she wanted to release everything she had endured alone for the past five years.
Every question she asked, Yang Chen's heart ached a little more. When Qin Xi began to sob uncontrollably, the hero who had fought on battlefields and endured countless wounds without uttering a single cry of pain, actually wept at this moment.
Yang Chen took a step forward and suddenly hugged Qin Xi in his arms.
"Let me go! Get out of my life! Just get out completely, aren't you going to divorce me Tomorrow I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!" Qin Xi struggled while crying, hammering Yang Chen's chest with all her might.
Yang Chen's arms were like tiger claws, holding her tightly. He let her vent, whispering softly in her ear, "I'm sorry. For the rest of my life, I will never leave you again!"om the clan, from now on, we will have nothing to do with the Qin family."Qin Xi looked at Qin Fei with a complex expression and said, “This time, it’s my last time helping the family. As for the fami...
