Chapter 15: Breaking Ties With Her Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“We are your elders, how can we kneel to you!”
“Not in the future.” Yan Xi seemed to have this thought long ago. She said lightly, “Today, I will cut myself off from the family.”
As if trying to make Yan Dong angrier, she continued, “This is my birthday present for you. Are you surprised?”
Everyone was stunned by this news and the noisy room fell silent.
Even Gu Shen was stunned.
However, Yan Xi was firm and did not seem to waver.
“I’m just informing you guys. I’m not asking for your opinion. I’ll give up the Yan family’s right of inheritance, and I’ll slowly repay the child support fees over the years. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
“So.” Yan Xi smiled. Her aura was similar to Gu Shen’s. “Kneel.”
Hearing that, people were all shocked.
Yan Dong’s expression was a little twisted, unable to come to terms with the fact that she wanted to cut ties with him.
He would not let her go now because she was finally of some use to him.
“Xi, what did I do to you that made you feel aggrieved? We’ve raised you for more than ten years. How can you leave us just like that? I’ll kneel before you. Please forgive me.”
With that, he bent his knees and pretended to kneel.
Luo Yun held him up and took over the stage.
“Yan Xi, you heartless ingrate! The Yan family has raised you for so many years. Now that you have a rich husband and you want to cut ties with the family? Let me tell you, no way!”
By raising her, they meant a bed and three meals a day, nothing else.
Over the past ten years, she had been hit and scolded countless times. She would only get things that were either useless or had been used. What was worse was that when the Host was in her second year of college, they arranged for her to drop out of school and marry Gu Shen.
They had not fulfilled their parents’ responsibility in a single day, but now, they were here talking to her about raising her.
Yan Xi only felt ridiculed. She placed her hand on the wheelchair. “Hubby, I hate them. Help me.”
…
Yan Xi’s legs had been kicked several times by them. It was still alright if she sat still, but when she stood up, it hurt like a drill. She forced herself to take a few steps before swaying and falling to the ground.
She was still a little confused and looked sad.
Gu Shen said to her, “Don’t force yourself if you can’t walk.”
“It’s too painful. Those bodyguards were too ruthless,” Yan Xi mumbled. However, those bodyguards did not end up happy either. Not only were they fired, but they also had to pay for Yan Xi’s medical fees.
According to the rules of upper-class society, they would probably have to bid farewell to the bodyguard profession forever.
“Can you still walk?” Gu Shen suddenly asked.
Yan Xi shook her head. “It hurts, Hubby.”
“You poor girl.” This was the first time Gu Shen had met such a person. She was like a fragile porcelain doll that could not be touched and could only be placed carefully.
He instructed Gu Er, “Call the chauffeur and ask him to drive the car in.”
“Yes.”
Yan Xi sat for a while before she stood up trembling. She wanted to hold the wheelchair for Gu Shen, but she was afraid of causing misunderstandings. She only dared to place a few fingers on it and carefully observe his expression.
“If you want to hold it, then hold it.”
Yan Xi was very sweet. “Thank you, Hubby. Hubby is the best.”
Gu Shen, “Mm.”
Yan Xi stood beside Gu Shen and kept asking questions.
“How did you know that I was detained by the Yan family?”
“You called the driver.” Gu Shen paused and said, “You’re brave, but you’re too stupid.”
Even though she knew that she was no match for the family, she still insisted on challenging them.
If he had not gone in time, many whip marks would have appeared on Yan Xi’s body and she would be suffering more pains than now.
Thinking of that scene, Gu Shen frowned unconsciously, irritated and unhappy.
