Chapter 7
s"Qin Dayong, unwilling to let it go, suddenly turned his spear towards Qin Xi.Qin Xi's face was full of astonishment, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Dad, how can you say that to me I'm your daught...Chapter 7
Yang Chen was just about to explain when Qin Xi scolded, "Shut up!"
"Mom, I'm hungry!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's voice sounded at the perfect time.
Hearing that her daughter was hungry, Qin Xi looked at Qin Fu and said, "Dad, let's eat!"
Qin's father, named Qin Dayong, had little ability and held a low status in the Qin family. However, Qin Xi was exceptionally capable and highly valued by the head of the Qin family.
It can be said that a family's current living standards all depend on Qin Xi, so in this family, Qin Xi has a high status. However, when it comes to marriage, Qin's father and mother are very domineering.
Because the carriage of Su Chengwu, the richest man in Jiangzhou, appeared, and he also sent a heavy gift, Wang Jian did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He didn't even eat his meal and found an excuse to leave.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after all the relatives had left, Qin Mother 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 stepbrother Yang Chen a lecture. She glanced at Yang Chen with a gloating expression, then pulled Qin Xiaoxiao away: "Xiaoxiao, let's go play hide-and-seek with Auntie."
Qin Xiaoxiao although she really wanted to stay with her father, when she heard her aunt was going to play games with her, she excitedly grabbed her aunt's hand and ran off.
Only Qin Dayong, Zhou Yucui, Qin Xi, and Yang Chen were left in the hall.
"Yang Chen, now that you're back, there are some things we still need to make clear." Zhou Yucun 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 tell me whatever is on your mind."
Zhou Yucun then said, "You know very well that five years ago, you and Xiaoxi were implicated and forced into marriage. There was no foundation of love between you two to begin with. You left immediately after the wedding. Over the years, Xiaoxi has been both a father and a mother, enduring untold hardships and facing countless rumors and gossip. You have no idea about any of it. Even the Sanhe Group she single-handedly founded was forcibly taken over by the family. And all this is thanks to you."
Yang Chen's heart ached. He knew these things weren't fabrications by Zhou Y cu i, but the truth.
He had been gone for five years, especially during Qin Xi's pregnancy. It was easy to imagine how many nasty things people had said about her.
Qin Xi was also red-eyed, her pearly white teeth tightly biting her crimson lips.
"Mom, I understand what you're saying. But please rest assured, this time I'm back to make amends with Xiaoxi and Smile. In the future, I promise I won't disappoint you again."
Yang Chen wore a serious expression, his words filled with sincerity. He didn't know what to say, so he could only express himself with his honesty.
"Do you dare to talk about the future with us"
At this moment, Qin Dayong suddenly stood up, his face full of anger: "Do you think my daughter is a commodity Take it if you want, throw it away if you don't"
Qin Dayong said, pointing to the gold and silver jewelry piled on the tea table: "Look at others, what they have sent for my daughter's marriage You are nothing but a worthless good-for-nothing. You think that after serving in the army for five years, you can give my daughter happiness My daughter has been delayed by you for five years. Tomorrow morning, you will go get a divorce."
Zhou Yucui was also infected by Qin Dayong's words, her face full of tears as she cried, "Old Qin is right, you guys go get a divorce tomorrow. There would be a line of men circling Jiangzhou if they all wanted to marry my daughter, yet you, a worthless man, have ruined her. You still want to cling on If you truly 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 of Qin Xi enduring everything alone for so many years, his heart ached even more.
Five years ago, the reason he chose to leave was that he wasn't worthy of Qin Xi. Only by joining the army could he possibly make a name for himself and be worthy of Qin Xi. But he didn't know that just once, Qin Xi had become pregnant.
Qin Xi had long been in tears, her face covered in them. Years of bearing everything alone had made her incredibly strong. Even though she was crying, she still refused to let out a sound.
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 pluck them down for her. The only question is, would Qin Xi be willing to accept them
Only now did he realize that from the very beginning, it had all been one-sided love. In fact, he had liked her even before five years ago, but Qin Xi had never looked at him properly. Even when they were framed and ended up as husband and wife, even when they married for the sake of family honor, as Qin Dayong said, there was simply no emotional foundation between them.
Yang Chen, however, 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 got up and knelt heavily in the direction of Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucun. With a loud thud, the entire room seemed to tremble.
"Paying respects to my parents-in-law, please accept Yang Chen's bow!" Yang Chen's face was serious and solemn.
Bang!
His forehead, smacked heavily against the hard marble floor.
"Yang Chen, what are you doing"
Seeing the blood seeping from Yang Chen's forehead, Zhou Yucui screamed in fright.
"You mustn't try to win Qin Xi's forgiveness with a false show of weakness."
Qin Dayong was also taken aback, then looked at Qin Xi who was crying her eyes out: "Xiao Xi, you mustn't be fooled by his act. This useless good-for-nothing, never forgive him in your life."
Bang!
Yang Chen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and then bowed heavily again, kowtowing.
"Yang Chen bows again, thanking the two elders for their care of Xiaoxing and Xiaoxiao over the years."
Then, goodbye again!
"Over the past five years, Yang Chen has failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father. This has caused Xiaoxi to endure countless rumors and gossip, and has left Xiaoxiao without a father since childhood. I am sorry to my in-laws, and even more so to Xiaoxi and Xiaoxiao!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every bow was made with tremendous force, as if only in this way could the pain in his heart be lessened somewhat.
After dozens of bows, Yang Chen's forehead was already bleeding profusely.
On the side, Qin Xi had long since burst into tears.
Yang Chen finally stood up. At this moment, he suddenly felt much lighter. He walked to Qin Xi who was weeping and covering her face, 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, the makeup on her face was smudged, but it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Slap!
"Divorce"
She slapped Yang Chen's face and angrily said, "What do you think I am"
"I admit, five years ago, you were also a victim. You didn't want to marry me, and you could have refused. Why, after we're already married, do you want to leave"
"After you left, I endured so much gossip and slander, suffered so many grievances. Do you know that Our daughter was bullied by other children at kindergarten, they called her a bastard without a father. Do you know that"
"My daughter holds our only wedding photo and asks me countless times when her father will be back. Do you know how heartbroken I am"
"After I waited so long for my husband to return, and my daughter finally got to see her father again, you tell me you want a divorce"
"Do you think you're worthy of me Worthy of our daughter"
Qin Xi finally completely exploded, crying out loud, as if she wanted to vent everything she had endured alone for the past five years.
With every question she asked, Yang Chen's heart ached a little more. When Qin Xi finally broke down in tears, the hero who had fought on countless battlefields, even when riddled with wounds, never uttered a single cry of pain, now wept openly.
Yang Chen took a step forward and suddenly hugged Qin Xi in his arms.
"Let me go! Get out of my life! Get out completely! Aren't you going to divorce me Tomorrow, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!" Qin Xi struggled and cried, pounding 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!"g, glaring at Wang Luyao with a face full of anger: "Don't think that in this Jiangzhou, only your Zhang family is powerful. With such an arrogant daughter like you, there will be one day when she bri...
