Pingcheng City, River View Villa, Living Room. "Chen, you said it yourself. Was it your husband and Xiaoxiao who divorced, or was it our Xie family who kicked you out!" The speaker's mother-in-law is a kind of dutiful bird called the "Magnolia." Although she is over forty, she takes good care of herself, dresses fashionably, and looks like she's in her thirties. She still has a charming elegance. Besides, there were two people sitting in the living room. "If you have any sense, you should initiate the divorce. Then our Xie family can compensate you with one million yuan. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a single penny." Xie Guoguo walked arm in arm with Du Juan. She had a delicate oval face, with striking features and cute little dimples. Her appearance was a perfect reflection of her genetic heritage from the rhododendron flower. Chen lay paralyzed on the sofa, unconcerned. Since he married into the family, scenes like this have become a regular occurrence, almost every three days or five days. This mother-in-law constantly thinks of finding fault with Chen and wants to drive him out of the Xie family. "This is simply ridiculous!" Xie Qingyun, seated in the main position, rebuked with a voice that commanded respect despite his calm demeanor. “Lao Xie, I’m not kidding!” Dujuan unusually retorted Xie Qingyun, “We’ve supported him for three whole years, but what does he do? He doesn’t strive to improve, he just eats and sleeps. Even if I raised a dog for three years, the dog would know how to guard the house better than him!” Xie Guguo didn't have the courage of Du Juan to confront Xie Qingyun. She just mumbled and complained softly, "My sister Guo Tianxiang is from a state-owned enterprise. The man she likes is gone. Chen Zhen doesn't deserve my sister." "Close your mouth!" Xie Qingyun glared at Xie Guoguo with a warning in his voice, scaring her into hastily turning her back to him and remaining silent. “What’s wrong? Did Guoguo say something wrong? Look at Wang Kai, he’s the same age as Chen, and he has already started three companies. He’s been hailed as a representative of young entrepreneurs in our city. Now look at Chen, he doesn’t even compare to Wang Kai’s toes!” Du Juan’s words were extremely harsh and offered Chen no face. Chen would always listen attentively and keep it in mind, but she wouldn't show any expression on her face. She just smiled nonchalantly. "What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?" Xie Qingyun finally got angry, slamming his fist on the table with a bang. The teacup on the table fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces. "Xiaoxiao and Chen's wedding, I orchestrated it all myself! This matter, I make the final call!" Xie Qingyun stated with undeniable authority. The azalea was startled, knowing that Xie Qingyun was already angry, but she still didn't want to give up. Especially when he saw Chen Xiao, anger surged within him. Thinking you're untouchable just because Old Xie has your back? You really think we can't get to you? The Cuckoo God shifted, cleared his throat, and said, “Old Xie, since we’ve said all that needs to be said, there’s one thing I have to tell you.” "Chen has been at our Xie family for three years, and he's shared a room with Xiaoxiao for three years as well. But look at Xiaoxiao's belly, there's not even a hint of a bump! It must be that Chen is no good in that department!" Xie Qingyun heard this, his expression changed. He defended Chen because Chen's father died to save him years ago. Xie Qingyun felt guilty and always treated Chen like his own son. In the end, he even married off his eldest daughter, Xie Xiaoxiao, to Chen. Since Xie has two sons, Chen Zui, then the youngest daughter Xie Guoguo must certainly be married off. If Luo Chen can't give Xie Jia a successor, then the incense of the Xie family will be broken! "Noticing Xie Qingyun's expression, the Dujuan flower hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said: 'Old Xie, actually I don't think Chen is incompetent. After all, our Xie family has a large business. We can afford to support the two of them for life.'" But Chen, as a man, that place isn't suitable. We can't let Xiaoxiao stay a widow her whole life, and we can't let the Xie family line die out, right? "Dad, I heard about this from my older sister too. That place Chen is really bad, it's always packed and I can never get in." Xie Guoguo said, her face flushing red with shame. Wow wow wow! These two, harmonizing perfectly, their acting is truly Oscar-worthy. They deserve a little golden man for sure! Chen was speechless. He wasn't unwilling to have children with Xie Xiaoxiao, but Xie Xiaoxiao refused to let him. For three years of marriage, Chen slept on the couch every night in the same room as Xie Xiaoxiao, who slept in the bed. Don't even mention creating someone, every time Chen looked at Xie Xiaoxiao changing clothes, even for a second, he would be met with Xie Xiaoxiao's crazy revenge. If he dared to come, Chen had no doubt that Xie Xiaoxiao would directly pick up a cleaver and castrate him. "Xiao, is this true?" Xie Qingyun asked solemnly. This matter concerned the Xie family's inheritance, and he had to consider it carefully. "Dad, Xiaoxiao is dedicated to her career, so we're not planning on having children for now," Chen explained. "Chen, you just can't do it. Don't use my sister as an excuse." Xie Guoguo crossed her arms and said angrily. Chen's face was filled with bitterness. He wanted to tell the truth, but considering that Xie Xiaoxiao would go ballistic if she knew the truth, he held his tongue. Besides, even if he did say it, Xie Qingyun and the others wouldn't believe him. You can't just ask him to prove it face-to-face! They must be thinking, after three years living together, with so many opportunities, how is it possible that they've never slept together? Xie Qingyun listened, and his heart had a general judgment. He sighed softly and said euphemistically: "Xiao, now medical technology is very advanced, there's still a chance for this." Chen cried no tears, unjustly accused of something he didn't do. How could things have come to this, where everyone now thinks he is incompetent in that area? "Dad, Xiaoxiao will be off work soon. I'm going to pick her up." Chen changed the subject. "Chen! Stand right there! I won't let you go anywhere until we settle this!" Camellia said in a commanding tone. Xie Qingyun waved his hand, motioning for Chen to leave. "Sigh." Looking at Chen's departing figure from the living room, Xie Qingyun let out another sigh, feeling exhausted. In his eyes, Chen was just a lazy good-for-nothing who was cowardly and indecisive. These were all things he could handle. But Chen couldn't give the Xie family an heir, which he found unbearable. After leaving the living room, Chen Zheng was about to drive to the hospital entrance to pick up Xie Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his right tiger's mouth, as if something was trying to burst out. "Oh no! Could it be that forcibly breaking the seal backfired?" Chen muttered in alarm, rushing to the bedroom with all his remaining speed. This scene must not be seen by anyone. Wow! Chen Gang sat on the bed, only feeling a golden glow on his right tiger's mouth. The burning sensation was extraordinarily intense. "Hiss!" Chen's pained grimace twisted. Gradually, the burning subsided, a golden mark shimmering on Chen's right hand's tiger's mouth.
What followed was also an unseen and intangible air, called "qi," which is stored in the Tiger's Mouth. Chen's eyes widened instantly, and his face was filled with excitement. "Tiger Mouth Seal! It's open today!" |
