Chapter 1455: Pestering Is Useless

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chao said in a commanding tone: "Open the door and let me in!"

"Then why didn't you go in just now?"

What else could it be for? Naturally, because Chi Rong wouldn't allow it!

But this reason could not be said, otherwise Qin Yiyan would definitely make a mountain out of a molehill!

Thinking this, Qin Chao casually found an excuse: "I was standing here because I wanted to calm down."

"Then are you calm now?"

"Don't you worry about it! Take me to see your mother first! If you dare to refuse, I will have the people around here judge who is right!"

Qin Chao was just throwing caution to the wind, even wanting to make a scene.

As for Qin Yiyan, he was originally not afraid of his father going crazy.

But letting things go unchecked would definitely make the Liu Family the laughingstock.

Thinking that he had only just reconciled with Liu Xin'ai, Qin Yiyan did not want to cause any more trouble.

So he decided to let his father in first.

Whatever the matter, they could close the door and resolve it among themselves.

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan opened the door for his father.

On the other side—

Chi Rong had already seen everything happening below from the second-floor window.

Although she didn't hear what those people were saying, Chi Rong could guess that Qin Chao must have used moral blackmail on their son!

Hmph, that guy has always been good at this!

But Chi Rong is no longer the Chi Rong she used to be!

Chi Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, then took a document out of the drawer and walked out of the room.

Downstairs, Qin Chao was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He was trying hard to think of a way to get a meeting with Chi Rong.

This reason was not easy to come up with.

Because similar reasons had all been used by Qin Chao, yet not one had succeeded.

Just as Qin Chao was thinking intently, he heard footsteps coming down.

Looking up, he saw Chi Rong walking slowly down from upstairs.

This made Qin Chao overjoyed!

Because she had been resting well lately, Chi Rong's complexion was rosy and her eyes were bright.

Beneath her gentle temperament, there was an added touch of firmness.

By comparison, Qin Chao was utterly decadent.

Even though he was smiling at this moment, his whole person was dull.

Chi Rong calmly sized up the man she had once been so familiar with, and then, before Qin Chao could speak, she handed over a document: "Sign it."

This is...

Qin Chao glanced down and his expression froze.

The next second, he tore it up forcefully and then raised his hand to scatter it!

Amidst the fluttering scraps of paper was Qin Chao's angry face and his roar: "I will not sign the divorce papers!"

"Then why did you come?"

"Of course... I hope you can have a change of heart."

Chi Rong sneered and then retorted: "Isn't my life good right now? Why would I have a change of heart?"

"Chi Rong, stop saying angry things. I also know I was wrong. I will apologize to our son. Don't get a divorce, okay?"

Qin Chao knew Chi Rong was soft-hearted, so he began to plead bitterly.

But at this moment, Chi Rong was very clear about one thing: for someone not worth it, there is no need to make any concessions!

So she remained unmoved by Qin Chao's pleas.

She even said in a flat tone: "When you were young, didn't you yearn for freedom? Now, I am giving you freedom."

"That was because I was ignorant when I was young. Are you also ignorant now? At such an old age, you still want a divorce; aren't you ashamed!?"

Actually... this was the real reason Qin Chao wanted to keep Chi Rong.

The older he got, the less he could bear the gossip brought about by a failed marriage.

Chi Rong also saw through Qin Chao's intentions.

Sneering, she said quite bluntly: "When you were young, you wanted to break with your family for the sake of a woman. Although I was heartbroken at the time, I quite admired your courage. But now..."

Chi Rong paused for a moment, her gaze cold as she looked at Qin Chao: "You have lost your courage, and there is no love left in your heart, only an aging shell!"

These sharp words made Qin Chao's cheeks burn.

That feeling was even more embarrassing than being slapped in the face!

In order to save some face, Qin Chao stiffened his neck and questioned: "How do you know I don't love you?"

"Of course I know. The only person you love is yourself, and I have had enough of this kind of life! Your pestering will not change the result!"

No, Qin Chao did not think so!

He lowered his eyes and asked with a dark look: "Are you really not planning to change your mind?"

"Yes!"

"Heh, then don't you regret it!"

As his voice fell, Qin Chao suddenly pulled out a fruit knife!

His actions left everyone shocked!

Chi Rong shouted, "What do you think you're doing?"

"If you don't change your mind, I'll die right here today!" Qin Chao said, pressing a dagger against his neck.

"You... this is truly too absurd! Look at yourself now, where is there any semblance of an elder left in you!!"

Chi Rong was so angry that her face turned pale.

If she weren't worried that something might happen, she would have wanted to have someone throw Qin Chao out directly!

And Qin Chao was counting on the fact that everyone would be worried about him, which was why he resorted to such a desperate measure.

Looking at the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Chao felt that he had taken the right path!

Next...

"Chi Rong, don't you even think about divorcing me; you can only be a widow!"

These words...

They sound familiar.

Liu Xin'ai looked at the man beside her, thinking that the Qin Family father and son's obsession regarding marriage was truly inherited from the same source.

Qin Yiyan could guess what Liu Xin'ai was thinking.

That made him... a bit embarrassed.

Qin Yiyan also did not want his father to continue making a scene, so he said in a gloomy tone, "There are so many people watching here, please put down the dagger and stop acting out!"

"Who is acting out? I am serious!"

To demonstrate his determination, Qin Chao raised his arm, the dagger pressed tightly against his skin!

Such a scene made people watch with trepidation!

But Liu Xin'ai knew that that position would not cause a fatal wound.

Yet she still said, "Allow me to remind you, the artery is very fragile; a tremble of the finger could slice it open. The survival rate after severing an artery is very low; if you cannot stop the bleeding quickly within two minutes, you will die from massive blood loss."

Qin Chao had originally been imposing and stern.

After hearing Liu Xin'ai's description... his hands and feet felt a bit cold.

The dagger also moved slightly away from his neck.

Liu Xin'ai saw this subtle movement. Then she continued, "In short, you must absolutely not let your hand tremble; whether you injure the trachea, esophagus, or nerves, there will be big trouble."

"That's enough! You woman, just looking at you is annoying! I shouldn't have agreed to let you enter our family's door in the first place!"

Qin Chao pushed all the blame onto Liu Xin'ai.

Moreover, the more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he even brandished the dagger at Liu Xin'ai.

The bodyguard seized the opportunity, gripped Qin Chao's wrist, and then struck it hard!

Clang—

The dagger fell to the ground!

The bodyguard quickly picked it up, while Qin Chao still wanted to go over and snatch it back, unwilling to give up.

But how could he snatch it from the bodyguard?

After a few tugs, his body staggered backward and fell.

Qin Yiyan reached out to support his father and said expressionlessly, "How many more stupid things do you have to do before you can wake up?"

"Unfilial son, is that how you talk to your father!"

"To be honest, with a father as muddled as you, I really wish..."
