Jiang City, an old residential area.
Inside Chen Yi's parents' home, Chen Yi looked worried. Her two children were still missing, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
Jiang Hai, sitting opposite her, said gently, "Xiao Yi, don't worry, I've already transferred the money, and we'll have news soon."
Chen Yi said gratefully, "Jiang Hai, thank you! I will definitely find a way to repay what I owe you!"
Jiang Hai shook his head, "In three days, you will be my wife. Do I need you to repay me for helping you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Hai is right. You're about to get married, why be so clear about things?"
Chen Yi's mother, Wang Xinman, quickly interjected, afraid that Chen Yi would actually try to repay the money.
Chen Yi's father, Chen Jianjun, also said with a smile, "Xiao Hai, from now on, I will entrust Xiao Yi to you. You must not let her down."
Jiang Hai smiled warmly, "Uncle and Aunt, rest assured, I, Jiang Hai, guarantee that I will make Xiao Yi the happiest woman in this world."
"Haha! Good! Good!"
Chen Jianjun laughed heartily. The couple was a hundred percent satisfied with this future son-in-law.
Just then, Jiang Hai's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, stood up, and walked to the side.
He answered the phone, and a familiar voice rang out, "Xiao Hai, your Grandpa is holding an important Family meeting in an hour. Come back early."
"Dad, what happened?"
Jiang Hai asked in surprise. This kind of emergency meeting hadn't happened in many years.
"The Xu Family, something happened!"
"What? The Xu Family?"
"The Xu Family that controls the underground forces of Jiang City?"
"Yes!"
Upon receiving confirmation, Jiang Hai was stunned.
"Jiang Hai, have you found Chen'er and Yu'er?"
Seeing Jiang Hai hang up the phone, Chen Yi quickly asked.
Jiang Hai smiled and nodded, "The children are fine now. They will be back as soon as the Jiang Family finishes negotiating with the other party."
"That's great! Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Learning that the children were safe, Chen Yi wept with joy.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just then, a clear knocking sound came from the door.
"It must be Yu'er and Chen'er back!"
Chen Yi was excited and quickly ran to open the door.
When she saw the figure at the door, she was completely stunned.
In the past five years, this familiar face had appeared in her dreams countless times. Her longing for this man had long since turned into madness.
Everyone thought Yang Jiutian was dead, but only she didn't believe it.
He was truly alive!
The man she had waited for five long years was actually alive!
"Xiao Yi, I'm back!"
Yang Jiutian could no longer control his emotions and abruptly pulled Chen Yi into his embrace.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I really didn't know! You and Yu'er were both alive."
Yang Jiutian choked out, "I promise, I will never leave you and Daughter again."
Held in the arms of the man she loved, Chen Yi felt like she was dreaming. She had longed for this embrace for too long.
"Bastard, let go of my fiancée!"
However, before she could fully enjoy the warm embrace, she was startled awake by an angry roar.
Jiang Hai's face was contorted with rage. The woman who was about to become his wife was being held in the arms of another man right in front of him.
For any man, this was the greatest humiliation.
"Come with me!"
Yang Jiutian took Chen Yi's hand, intending to leave.
"Let go of my fiancée!"
Jiang Hai roared again, his contorted face full of killing intent.
It was only at this moment that Chen Yi awoke as if from a dream, feeling as though she had been struck by lightning. She hurriedly broke free from Yang Jiutian's hand.
Yang Jiutian's expression instantly froze, and his voice trembled, "You, you don't want to?"
Chen Yi's face was full of pain, letting the tears fall mercilessly. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
If she left with Yang Jiutian, the two children would truly be in danger.
Yang Jiutian clearly saw the love in Chen Yi's eyes gradually fade.
In the end, only indifference remained.
"Between you and me, it's already over!"
She shook her head, "You, you should go!"
Every word Chen Yi spoke was like a sharp knife, plunging fiercely into Yang Jiutian's heart.
For the past five years, he had always believed that his wife and Daughter had died in that massacre. If he hadn't been burdened by the revenge for his clan's destruction, he would have committed suicide long ago.
"Why?"
After a long while, Yang Jiutian finally asked.
Chen Yi looked directly at Yang Jiutian and replied indifferently, "It's not difficult to forget someone in five years!"
A simple sentence, yet it made Yang Jiutian feel Chen Yi's heartlessness.
Yang Jiutian gave a self-deprecating smile, "So, marrying Jiang Hai was your voluntary choice?"
"Yes!"
Chen Yi replied without hesitation.
Yang Jiutian staggered back a few steps, his face extremely pale.
His wife, whom he had longed for so much she had made him ill, was actually going to marry someone else, and it was the man who used to be his best brother. This was simply a huge irony!
"Yang Jiutian, now that you're back, there are some things we still need to make clear."
After the initial shock, Wang Xinman also regained her composure. This young man really was Yang Jiutian.
Yang Jiutian nodded, "Mom, please say whatever you want!"
Wang Xinman then said, "You have no idea how much suffering Xiao Yi endured in the five years you were gone, and all of it was thanks to you."
"Over the years, if it weren't for Jiang Hai's help, Xiao Yi probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"Consider it my plea to you, don't disturb her anymore. You've already wasted five years of her youth, just let her go!"
Chen Yi's eyes were also red, and she bit her red lips tightly with her white teeth.
"Mom, I understand everything you're saying! But please rest assured, I came back this time to compensate Xiao Yi and Yu'er. From now on, I will definitely not disappoint you again."
Yang Jiutian's words were full of sincerity. He had been separated from his wife and Daughter for five years, and he truly couldn't lose them again.
"You still dare to talk about the future with us?"
Chen Jianjun suddenly stood up, pointing at Yang Jiutian's nose and angrily shouted, "Do you think my Daughter is a commodity? You want her when you feel like it, and you discard her when you don't?"
"Yang Jiutian, as long as you're willing to leave Xiao Yi, you can fill in any number on this check!"
Just then, Jiang Hai walked over with a check.
"Get lost!"
Yang Jiutian suddenly threw a punch, hitting Jiang Hai squarely in the face.
This bastard was the beast who wanted to kill Yu'er. How could Yang Jiutian let him go?
"Yang Jiutian! What exactly do you want to do?"
Chen Yi suddenly pushed Yang Jiutian away and angrily roared, "I'm the one who wants to marry Jiang Hai. You should come at me if you have something to say, why hit him?"
Wang Xinman and Chen Jianjun were also furious, "You bastard, you're useless yourself, and you still want to stop Xiao Yi from finding happiness. You're a scumbag!"
Chen Yi had already helped Jiang Hai up, wiping the blood from his face while asking with concern, "Jiang Hai, are you okay? Should I take you to the Hospital?"
Watching Chen Yi's solicitous manner, Yang Jiutian felt his heart bleeding.
Jiang Hai's face was twisted with malice, "Yang Jiutian, do you see? We are the Family, and you are just an outsider!"
"Let me tell you, I got together with Chen Yi right after you left. You have no idea how quickly our relationship developed."
"Do you know why she agreed to marry me? Because we have a son!"
"He just turned four this year, which means Xiao Yi got pregnant right after the Yang Family was wiped out. Guess what happened? Hahahaha..."
Jiang Hai burst into maniacal laughter, and his words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Yang Jiutian's mind directly.
"Son?"
"A son who just turned four?"
Yang Jiutian looked incredulous, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at Chen Yi.
No wonder Yu'er fought to protect him with her life. No wonder Yu'er called him her Younger brother.
Because he was also Chen Yi's child!
