Chapter 553: Chapter 551: He was treated as air

Yanxi took the paternity test report.

His fingers trembled as he flipped to the last page.

He closed his eyes, then looked again with determination.

The result showed that he and Little Orange did not possess a biological father-daughter relationship.

In other words, Little Orange was not his daughter!

Yanxi’s heart instantly plunged to the bottom of the abyss.

Could it be that Little Orange really was the daughter Xia Yiwan had with another man?

Yanxi was not stupid; recalling certain behaviors of Little Orange after she came to him, he quickly realised that Little Orange had been trying to get information out of him!

Yanxi’s fingers gripped the report so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Gu Siting stood beside Yanxi, and he also saw the report.

Little Orange was actually not Yanxi’s daughter?

A hint of suspicion flashed through Gu Siting’s deep, dark eyes.

…

Father Xia was released from prison.

Xia Yiwan and Mother Xia stood at the prison gate to pick him up.

Compared to four years ago, Father Xia looked much older and haggard.

Although Gu Siting had taken care of him these years, Father Xia had not suffered much in prison, but he was always tormented by guilt.

He felt that he had let down his wife, his daughter!

It was not until recently that Shi Ying lifted the hypnotic commands on him, and his mental state slightly improved.

Xia Yiwan and Mother Xia stepped forward at the same time, embracing Father Xia tightly.

Father Xia stretched out his hands and hugged his wife and daughter in return.

The family of three turned into a group of sobbing figures.

That very day, they all returned to Li City.

Ever since Father Xia had been imprisoned and Xia Yiwan had her incident, Mother Xia’s status at home had plummeted.

It had even been her sister-in-law who informed her of Xia Yiwan’s ‘death.’

At the time, she nearly collapsed.

Having only Wanwan for a daughter, Mother Xia felt life was worse than death without her.

But with the backing of Old Lady Xia, the elder brother and sister-in-law, like vicious animals, forced her to hand over the shares in Xia Corporation. They also wouldn’t allow Wanwan’s spirit tablet in the Xia Family Ancestral Hall, saying that as a daughter, Wanwan didn’t qualify!

Thankfully, heaven had blessed her; her precious daughter was still alive!

Xia Yiwan wiped the tears from her mother’s eyes, “Mom, dad and I are both back now, and nobody will bully you anymore.”

Xia Yiwan was no longer as easygoing as she used to be; she took out a whip and drove her uncle’s family, who was occupying their ancestral house, out.

“Xia Yiwan, what right does a girl like you have to be so domineering? Sooner or later, my son will take over the Xia family!” her aunt raged uncontrollably.

Xia Yiwan whipped the ground near her aunt’s feet, “Our family has long since split from yours. Even if we were to feed dogs, we wouldn’t give you a penny!”

The sound of the whip cracking on the ground was chilling.

The aunt’s family immediately contacted Old Lady Xia, and before long, she arrived.

Seeing Father Xia, Old Lady Xia immediately burst into tears, “My child, you have finally returned! I told you not to marry that jinx; not only did she not bear a son, but she also got you thrown into jail!”

Father Xia shielded Mother Xia behind him, glaring at Old Lady Xia with a cold and furious expression, “Mom, my wife has suffered so much these years, and I will gradually seek justice for her. If you dare to say one more word against her, you will no longer be my mother!”

Xia Yiwan admired Father Xia, who was defending his wife; she thought he was extremely impressive.

Father Xia was the best man in her heart, the best father!

Just the fact that Father Xia was wrongfully imprisoned for more than four years was reason enough for her to never forgive Yanxi!

Old Lady Xia was intimidated by Father Xia’s piercing gaze.

She could tell that Father Xia wasn’t just trying to scare her.

It was Father Xia’s merit that the Xia family had grown into nouveau riches.

If she truly offended him, she and her eldest son’s family would not have good days ahead!

Old Lady Xia was a shrewd woman, she didn’t say anything more, and left dejectedly.

After only Xia Yiwan and her parents were left in the house, Mother Xia took Xia Yiwan’s hand gently and said, “Wanwan, how are things between you and Yanxi?”

“Mom, Yanxi and I no longer have a marital relationship, the things he has done are unforgivable! Please don’t bring him up again!”

Mother Xia nodded, “Alright, I won’t mention him anymore. It’s a good thing that you can draw a clear line with him!”

Father Xia and Mother Xia now regretted their past decision to let Yiwan marry Yanxi, thinking she was marrying into a good family, but who could have predicted so many twists and turns!

For the sake of love, for the sake of a marriage, Yiwan almost lost her life. It really wasn’t worth it!

Mother Xia embraced Xia Yiwan, tears involuntarily falling, “Our Yiwan is such a good girl, she deserves the love and cherishment of a better man!”

Xia Yiwan shook her head, “Mom, I don’t want to talk about romance anymore. Focusing on my career and being with you and Dad is my greatest wish and happiness!”

Mother Xia hugged Xia Yiwan, “Silly girl, you’re still young. Once your mood settles, you should start a new life. Who stays beside their parents for a lifetime? Don’t lose faith in men just because of one jerk; I believe you’ll meet someone better in the future!”

Xia Yiwan smiled without saying anything more.

She was already broken beyond repair, could she really meet someone better?

Probably not.

…

Yanxi was about to undergo closed rehabilitation for his addiction.

The fact that Little Orange wasn’t his daughter hit him hard, but he hadn’t given up on himself.

Only after he was sobered up would he have the right to reappear in front of Xia Yiwan, to truly atone for his sins.

She said she wanted to have nothing to do with him for the rest of her life, but he would not agree to that!

He left a piercing thorn in her heart, and he would have to work to soften that thorn for the rest of his life, gradually healing her wounds.

However, Yanxi was also aware that this rehabilitation would not be easy.

If his willpower was slightly weak, he could lose his life!

Before going in, Yanxi flew to Li City and arrived at the Xia family ancestral home.

In the past, every time he came, the Xia family would greet him warmly.

But this time, not a single person came out.

Yanxi stood at the gate, several times he raised his hand, wanting to knock, but couldn’t muster the courage.

He owed the Xia family too much, too much!

He truly had no face!

And so, after ten minutes passed, just as Yanxi summoned the courage to knock, suddenly an SUV drove up.

At the same time, the gates of the Xia family ancestral home opened.

Father Xia, Mother Xia, and Xia Yiwan all came out.

Xia Yiwan was obviously dressed up today; she wore a waist-cinching long dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her pretty face done up with delicate makeup.

They treated him as if he were air.

Yanxi’s hands hanging by his sides tensed slightly.

It seemed like his family was welcoming some important guest?

Shortly after, the doors of the SUV opened and a tall, upright figure stepped down from the car.

The man was dressed in a black suit, not the handsome type, but rugged, with a chiseled, angular face and a tanned complexion, exuding a strong masculine aura.
