Chapter 554: Chapter 552: No Turning Back

Zhou Hengnian got out of the car.

Originally, he had returned to headquarters and hadn’t planned on coming to Country C again so soon.

But a couple of days ago, he received a text message from Xia Yiwan.

Learning that it was Zhou Hengnian who saved her four years ago, Father Xia and Mother Xia were especially eager to meet the man who saved their daughter’s life.

The words in Xia Yiwan’s text message were very sincere, expressing a special hope that he could come.

After much consideration, Zhou Hengnian still made the long journey here.

As long as she needed him, no matter how far or how troublesome it was, he would arrive in time.

Father Xia and Mother Xia felt reassured at their first sight of Zhou Hengnian.

Zhou Hengnian was probably about one meter ninety, remarkably tall, with a figure like a clothes hanger, strong and well-built, broad-shouldered and narrow-hipped, exuding a full sense of masculine hormone.

After Zhou Hengnian got out of the car, he saw Yanxi at a glance.

Yanxi’s gaze also turned towards him, and their eyes collided.

Invisibly, sparks flew!

The Xia family pretended not to see Yanxi and warmly welcomed Zhou Hengnian into the villa.

With Yanxi being such a large presence at the door, it was impossible for them not to see him.

Yet they treated him as if he were air.

They didn’t even say a word to drive him away.

Yanxi’s blood ran cold throughout his body, and a sense of powerlessness like never before surged within him.

He would rather have been beaten or scolded by them than ignored and overlooked like he was now.

Just as the villa’s gate was about to close, Yanxi’s large palm pressed against the doorframe.

“Wanwan, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law.”

Father Xia and Mother Xia’s gazes simultaneously fell on Yanxi.

Deep down, they truly wished they could flay him alive.

But Yiwan had told them about Yanxi’s ordeal, and he had received his punishment and retribution.

What point was there in perpetual vengeance? Although they weren’t from an aristocratic family, they were reasonable people.

As long as they avoided any interaction with him in the future, they wouldn’t actively seek revenge against Yanxi.

But now, Yanxi actually had the audacity to show up at their old house and even call them father-in-law and mother-in-law?

Emotions Father Xia had suppressed suddenly erupted.

He stepped forward and grabbed Yanxi by the collar, “You and Yiwan have no relationship anymore, and we are no longer your in-laws. We trusted you and gave our daughter to you, but what did you do?”

“During your marriage, you supported and believed in another woman, deceiving and hurting your own wife! Don’t say you know regret. In the four years after Yiwan’s accident, if you had a conscience, you wouldn’t have lived with that woman!”

“Now you know Yiwan was the one who saved your life back then, and you realize how outrageously wrong you were. Let me tell you, it’s all too late!”

“Our Xia family does not welcome you, get as far away as you can!”

Father Xia forcefully pushed Yanxi out.

Overcome with emotion, he couldn’t stop coughing.

“Dad, don’t get agitated!”

Father Xia looked at Xia Yiwan, his eyes brimming with redness, “It’s because Dad is useless; if I were capable, you wouldn’t have suffered such harm and humiliation!”

Xia Yiwan’s nose felt unbearably sour.

Her father was wronged and had spent over four years in prison, all because of her unbearable marriage.

After Dad came out, he not only didn’t blame her, but he even comforted her and became her strongest support and backbone.

In this life, the person Xia Yiwan owed the most was her father.

“Dad, you go entertain Brother Hengnian first!”

After Father Xia and Mother Xia took Zhou Hengnian inside, Xia Yiwan stood at the front door, looking at Yanxi whose complexion was pale and expression heavy. She frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Seeing her distant and cold eyes, Yanxi’s voice was hoarse, “Wanwan, Little Orange is not my daughter.”

Hearing Yanxi’s words, Xia Yiwan’s lips curled up with a mocking smile, “Yanxi, where do you get the gall to talk about the child?”

Yanxi took a step forward, his hands grasping Xia Yiwan’s slender shoulders, “Wanwan, I’m about to go to detox, during this time, could you not start a new life? When I come out, no matter how you hit or scold me, I’ll let you, please give me a chance at redemption!”

Xia Yiwan shook off Yanxi’s hands from her shoulders, slightly tilted her head back, and met his bloodshot peach blossom eyes, “Yanxi, your self-esteem is still so inflated! You want redemption, why should I give you the chance? I already said it last time, from now on, whether in marriage or life, we have nothing to do with each other!”

“If you have any conscience left, stop pestering me endlessly!”

After Xia Yiwan finished speaking, she slammed the front door shut with a bang.

Yanxi looked at the closed door, his tall and lean body swayed unsteadily.

His heart felt as if it was being torn into pieces, the pain so intense he could hardly breathe.

The water mist in his peach blossom eyes blurred his vision, as he felt despair and a heart-wrenching pain.

Before, he was wild, arrogant, and overconfident, thinking he had control over everything.

Now, he realized he was simply a complete fool!

His biological grandmother was gone, and for the sake of a fake lifesaver, he hadn’t even seen her one last time.

Moreover, he had ruined his own marriage!

Yanxi hung his head low, his body like a frostbitten eggplant, weakly returned to his car.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, smashing it hard.

He had lost Xia Yiwan!

He had a feeling that no matter how he tried to redeem himself, she would never be with him again!

After some time, Yanxi drove off rapidly.

After driving for a while, he nearly had an accident, the front of the car hitting a tree by the roadside; his body lurched violently forward, his forehead knocked hard.

He buried his face in the steering wheel, hot tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.

Wanwan, Wanwan–

It’s my fault, my bad, I lost you!

Thinking of her possibly being with another man, his heart felt as if it was being pierced by countless sharp needles!

The intense and sharp pain spread to every limb and part of his body.

At the same time, he also deeply understood how desperate and painful she must have felt when she found out that he was with Shi Ying!

In the evening, Yanxi returned to his seaside villa.

Lately, Shi Ying was tormented by drug addiction, suffering excruciatingly with each episode!

When Yanxi returned, he didn’t go to the basement but stood at the door. Shi Ying seemed to be having another episode, cursing Yanxi frantically.

Her vulgar words made Yanxi’s men shudder to hear.

The subordinate looked at Yanxi’s expressionless face and tentatively said, “Young Master Yan, she’s stubborn too, in such a state but stubbornly keeping silent about everything.”

Yanxi tilted his head slightly upwards, watching the last gleams of the sunset swallowed by darkness. He squinted his peach blossom eyes and said, “Let her go.”

For a moment, his subordinate thought he had misheard and widened his eyes in shock, “Young Master Yan… Are we really just letting her go?”
