After five years, Qin mother's beauty remains undimmed, her appearance almost unchanged.

After years of military life, Yang Chen's outline hadn't changed much, but his entire demeanor had undergone a drastic transformation. In Qin Mu's eyes, Yang Chen was already dead, which made her both surprised and angry when she saw him again.

"Mom! It's me!"

Yang Chen wore a gentle smile on his face. This time, when he returned, all he wanted was to properly compensate Qin Xi.

"It's really you, this trash!"

Qin Mu finally confirmed that the man in front of her was Yang Chen. She crossed her arms, looking like a shrew, and angrily said: "You didn't come back early or late, but you came back just when Xiaoxi is about to remarry. Are you deliberately here to cause trouble"

At this moment, Qin Father also ran over and saw Yang Chen just as he heard what Qin Mother said. Without a word, he punched Yang Chen and roared furiously, “I’ll beat you to death, you bastard! You dare come back!”

"Bang!"

A burly figure appeared suddenly, grabbing Qin Father's arm with a swift movement and saying coldly: "No one is qualified to touch him!"

Of course, it was Ma Chao who prevented Qin's father from being killed.

Following Yang Chen for many years, he was extremely burly and had a fierce appearance. His arrival instantly silenced the room, and Qin's father's face was filled with terror.

"Get out!" Yang Chen's voice was as cold as frost, his blade-like eyes fell on Ma Chao.

Although Ma Chao was very unwilling, he would not disobey Yang Chen's order, so he could only let go: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen!"

"You know you were wrong, just get out of here. From now on, don't interfere in my affairs without my orders." Yang Chen's face was full of coldness.

At this moment, Yang Chen's aura was unintentionally released. Just this fraction of it made Qin Father and Qin Mother realize that their useless son-in-law, who had disappeared for five years, seemed to be a little different upon his return. However, this thought only flashed by. In their eyes, Yang Chen was still a waste.

With Ma Chao's intervention, Qin Father and Qin Mother dared not lay a finger on Yang Chen again.

"With wings hard, he even dares to move against me! Get out, right now!" Qin's father roared. If not for the fear of that burly man just now, he would have already made a move.

Yang Chen's heart was filled with anger, but when he thought of the figure he had missed for five years, he suppressed his anger and told himself repeatedly that he had come back this time to compensate Qin Xi, so he could endure anything.

“This trash can’t leave, he came back just in time. Today, I’ll have him and Xiao Xi go through the divorce procedures. Tomorrow, we’ll get Xiao Xi and Wang Jian engaged. We won’t even need a death certificate, that’s so much easier.” Qin mother hurriedly grabbed Yang Chen’s arm, afraid that Yang Chen would really leave and she would never find him again.

Qin Fu also suddenly realized, grabbing Yang Chen's other arm: "Your wife is right, when Xiao Xi comes back, you two go get a divorce."

Yang Chen was forcibly dragged into the courtyard. To an outsider, one might think that his in-laws were welcoming him back with open arms due to their enthusiasm.

Entering the house, I saw a banquet table in the living room already full of people, all relatives of Qin's mother.

Amongst these relatives, there was also a strange face, a young man dressed in designer brands, intentionally or unintentionally showing his wrist adorned with an expensive Rolex watch. It seemed like all the other relatives were seated around him.

At this moment, the young man is squinting at Yang Chen who was 'invited' in by Qin's father and mother.

There was a large cake on the table, it seemed like someone was having a birthday.

Only in Yang Chen's memory, whether it was Qin Father or Qin Mother, or even Qin Xi, their birthdays were not today. Then whose birthday is it

Just moments ago, we were discussing how to obtain a death certificate for Yang Chen. Now, here he is, alive and well! Everyone was filled with shock at first, but quickly their eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation, as if they were watching a captivating performance.

"Yang Chen, wasn't he missing for five years How did he suddenly come back"

"If he doesn't return early or late, Wang Shao insists on marrying Xiao Xi. If he returns now, he probably has other intentions."

"Other ideas In front of Wang Shao, he's just trash. Does he even have the qualifications to compete with Wang Shao"

Qin Mu's relatives whispered among themselves, whether intentionally or not. Although they lowered their voices, everyone present could hear them. The young man known as Wang Shao apparently heard everything clearly too.

Wang Shao, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked at Qin Mu and asked in confusion, "Auntie, who is this"

Qin Mu sneered and gave Yang Chen a disgusted look: "He's the one who disappeared for five years, I was about to get a death certificate for him, and suddenly popped up again. He's a useless piece of trash. But don't worry, he's back just in time. It takes time to process a death certificate, but the divorce paperwork can be done today."

Qin Mu made no attempt to hide her desire for Qin Xi to divorce. After speaking to Wang Shao, she proudly said to Yang Chen: "Yang Chen, he is the eldest son of the Jiangzhou Wang family, Wang Jian. In a few years, he will inherit the position of head of the family. I advise you to give up any inappropriate thoughts about Xiao Xi. We have all agreed to their marriage."

"If you have any sense, wait for Xiaoxi to come back and quickly get the divorce papers sorted out. Don't delay Xiaoxi's happiness."

A table full of relatives were all talking at once. In front of this young master of the Wang family, everyone wanted to curry favor with the wealthy heir by stepping on Yang Chen.

Yang Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, disappearing as quickly as it appeared.

These relatives are really annoying. If it weren't for Qin Xi, I could teach them a lesson right here and now.

Wang Jian was very satisfied, with a smug look on his face. He leaned back in his chair, gently swaying the filled wine glass, and smiled mischievously at Yang Chen, "I wonder what you've been up to during your five years of disappearance"

Yang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "Enlist!"

"Being in the army You must have been raising pigs for five years in the barracks, haha..."

Before Wang Jian could respond, suddenly a relative burst into laughter, and the other relatives at the table also laughed wildly.

Yang Chen fell silent.

Wang Jian curled the corner of his mouth into a slight smile, casually took out a check, swiped it a few times and signed his name, pushed it in front of Yang Chen, and said in a generous manner: "You should have seen that the Qin family doesn't welcome you. Your return this time must be for money. As long as you are willing to follow Qin Xi and get a divorce, the numbers on this check, you can fill them at will, and they can be cashed out immediately at any bank in Jiangzhou."

At this time, all of Qin's relatives' eyes lit up, wishing that the check was given to them.

"Little Wang, where does he need money Xiao Xi is my daughter. I want them to divorce, and they have to get divorced. Why should we give him money" Qin's mother looked at the check as if she was giving her own money to Yang Chen for nothing.

Wang Jian's eyes flashed a hint of disdain, but he still smiled and said: "Mother, to me, money is just a string of numbers. I don't want any trouble, I just want Xiao Xi to recover to singlehood as soon as possible."

Hearing what Wang Jian said, Qin Mu didn't dare to say any more. She only looked at Yang Chen with even colder eyes.

In a relative's envy, Yang Chen picked up the check.

"Sizzle!"

Just when everyone thought he was going to take it, Yang Chen tore the check into pieces in public.

He then calmly looked at Wang Jian: "If Qin Xi wants to divorce me, I will never stay at the Qin family. But if she doesn't want to, no one else should interfere in our business."

If any brothers from the North are present, they would know that this Yang Chen in a state of calm is his most dangerous.

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. The young man in front of him gave him a slight pressure, a feeling that was very unpleasant.

The others all look like they're enjoying the show. To offend Wang Jian is basically to court death.

Just as the crossbow was fully drawn, a crisp sound of high heels tapping on the floor rang out. Two figures, large and small, then appeared—it was Qin Xi, accompanied by a little girl.

"Wang Jian, why are you here again This is my home, I don't welcome you, please get out immediately!" Qin Xi's face darkened as soon as she saw Wang Jian, and she directly ordered him to leave.

Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Chen, who was facing away from the entrance, trembled violently.

He had imagined countless times the scene of meeting Qin Xi again, and even secretly practiced countless times. But when he was truly facing Qin Xi, he discovered that all his previous rehearsals were useless. At this moment, he didn't dare to look back at the woman he had deeply regretted and missed for five years.

"Dad!"

Yang Chen hadn't turned around yet when a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind him. His body trembled violently, and he turned to see a petite figure rushing towards him with a joyful expression on her face.

Just at the airport, this little girl kept clinging to me and calling me "Daddy."

Yang Chen knelt down and naturally hugged the little girl into his arms.

Naturally, as if he had hugged the little girl before him countless times.

At this moment, Qin Xi also saw Yang Chen. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, with only their gaze remaining.

Over the past five years, this figure had appeared countless times in his mind. His longing and guilt for this woman were the driving force that kept him going, pushing him to become stronger so he could be worthy of her.

Qin Xi's eyes were fixed on that figure, and for a moment, too many emotions flashed across her stunning face.

"Xiaoxi, I'm back!" Yang Chen broke the silence first.id jokingly.Liu Kai's face was deathly pale. He glanced at the dealer who dealt the cards without a trace, and the dealer was shocked out of his wits."A true hero doesn't win the first three rounds, t...
