Chapter 253: Let It End Here

"Chen Yu, make your dad apologize to my mom," Ye Xinyu said angrily.

"My dad apologize? Are you serious?" The expression on Chen Yu's face gradually calmed down: "Are you really sure?"

"Isn't it what should happen?" Ye Xinyu looked as if it were a matter of course.

Chen Yu looked furious; he was about to lash out.

"Xiao Yu, forget it." Chen Wenzhong grabbed Chen Yu: "I'll apologize."

"Apologize for what? I..."

"Shut up." Chen Wenzhong suddenly slapped Chen Yu across the face. Chen Yu was stunned; his father had never been this angry before. Even when he was idle and shiftless in the past, his father had never shown such a side.

"Old Chen, don't resort to violence." Yun Yi hurried forward, then said softly: "Xiao Yu, don't talk back to your dad."

"In-laws, I am truly sorry. I shouldn't have come here. I'll leave now. Yun, let's go." Chen Wenzhong bowed slightly, then pulled Yun Yi along and turned to leave.

"Dad, where are you going?" Chen Yu chased after them.

"Back to Yaoshan. My body is no longer in any serious trouble, and there are a pile of things waiting at home." Chen Wenzhong sighed: "Coming here has caused you trouble."

"Dad, what are you doing? You've only been here a few days?" Chen Yu was anxious.

"Xiao Yu, I'll say it again: for the sake of family harmony, a man must have a sense of responsibility. Xinyu is pregnant, so her emotions aren't very stable. Even if you are angry, you must endure it, understand?" Chen Wenzhong's tone was flat: "Yun Yi and I are leaving now; you go back."

After Chen Wenzhong finished speaking, he turned and left with Yun Yi.

Chen Yu watched blankly as his father's back disappeared into the night; he felt very bitter inside.

"Chen Yu's dad is just an old bastard. Hmph, how could such an old scoundrel raise a good son?" Wang Xueqin chased after them, refusing to let it go.

"Xinyu, listen to reason and divorce this bastard. He has money now, but so what? The deep-rooted flaws in his bones can't be changed." Ye Taihe was also fanning the flames on the side.

"A bastard with an unknown background, how could he be worthy of my daughter?" Wang Xueqin's voice grew louder: "I look down on him, and that's that."

Chen Yu suddenly turned around abruptly and slapped Wang Xueqin across her sharp, mean face.

Slap... Half of Wang Xueqin's face quickly turned red and swollen.

"Xinyu, look at this, Xinyu! This bastard actually dared to hit me! Wuwu, why is my life so bitter? My own son-in-law dares to hit his mother-in-law!" Wang Xueqin's shrill voice was piercing.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing?" Ye Xinyu looked at Chen Yu in disbelief, and she shrieked: "Are you prepared to break up with me?"

"If you insist on being this way, then our relationship ends here," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Good, good, good." Ye Xinyu said "good" three times in a row, tears falling: "Is this where we end?"

"Whether it ends here depends on you," Chen Yu said coldly: "This slap was for my dad."

"If your parents were virtuous and kind, and I, Chen Yu, treated them this way, then I would be a bastard and deserve Heavenly Retribution. But they aren't. Ye Xinyu, if you continue to be unable to distinguish right from wrong, then we can only end it here."

After dropping these words, Chen Yu left without looking back.

Watching Chen Yu leave, Ye Xinyu's tears fell blankly.

"Xinyu, divorce him and make him leave with nothing," Ye Taihe roared.

"Right, divorce him and get rid of his child. Even if my daughter is divorced, there will still be people lining up for you," Wang Xueqin said angrily.

"Xinyu, you don't know how much of a bastard Chen Yu's dad is, I..."

Wang Xueqin was still rambling on, listing the crimes of Chen Yu's family.

"Mom, you guys go back." Ye Xinyu turned around, looking somewhat exhausted.

"Xinyu, you must fight for the maximum amount of assets for yourself. That matter about transferring the house I mentioned to you last time, have you... considered it?" Wang Xueqin said cautiously.

"Don't mention this matter again, otherwise the three of you can leave my house," Ye Xinyu said coldly: "I want to be quiet. Leave now, immediately, right now."

"Alright, alright, we're leaving, leaving right now." Wang Xueqin was startled and hurriedly pulled Ye Taihe away, fearing that if Ye Xinyu got angry, she would kick the three of them out.

Their goal had already been achieved; they couldn't be too hasty from here on out.

In the private room, Ye Xinyu rested her head on one hand, her expression somewhat dejected.

"Chen Yu, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, travel across the Five Mountains, walk through all the beauty, and spend a lifetime with you, growing old together, but I can't."

"I know that after you woke up that day, you were already a different person, but I still love you. Your past and present lives are being manipulated by others; only by separating can you break free from that invisible hand."

Ye Xinyu murmured, unaware that her face was already covered in tears.

Suddenly, a gust of Qingfeng blew by, a red shadow flashed, and a woman dressed in a bright red long dress appeared before Ye Xinyu's eyes.

The woman's face was covered by a red veil, and her beautiful eyes were like crescent moons, but her gaze seemed fixed yet unfixed, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.

"Was it intentional?" the woman said.

Ye Xinyu's expression gradually turned cold; she raised her head and looked straight at the woman: "I said, no one can force me to do what I don't want to do."

"Pity, you will never be able to escape your fate." The woman smiled: "The Destiny Weaver racked his brains for decades, defying the Heavenly Mandate, and at the cost of blinding one eye and severing an arm of Karma, only then did he create a Purple Star Emperor Fate."

"And you, born with a Bodhi Lotus Heart, are the key to his fate fully awakening. Do you think the Old Man of Heavenly Mandate will let you separate from him?"

"He will not succeed." Ye Xinyu shook her head.

"He will, because he is a Destiny Weaver. Remember, I am one of the Ten Asuras under the Old Man of Heavenly Mandate, Jade-Faced Asura Xie Hongyan. I will return." The woman gave a light laugh, turned her body, and vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Brother-in-law, are you and my sister having another spat?" As soon as Chen Yu left, Ye Qian called.

"It's nothing, take good care of your sister." Chen Yu's tone was very flat.

"Brother-in-law, you guys can't go on like this." Ye Qian's tone was somewhat anxious: "I feel like my sister's emotions haven't been very stable lately, and I don't know the reason."

"All pregnant women are like this, I suppose. We are separated for the time being; you must watch over her while I'm away. If anything happens, you must contact me," Chen Yu instructed.

"How about this, brother-in-law, come to my school, and we'll have a good talk to see what's wrong with her," Ye Qian said: "You don't want it to stay like this forever, do you?"

"You haven't finished work yet?" Chen Yu asked.

"No, the school is holding an art competition tonight, and it's almost over now. Come over," Ye Qian said.

"Alright then, I'll be there in a while." Chen Yu pondered for a moment; he also felt that Ye Xinyu's emotions had been abnormal lately. Ye Qian had been in contact with her more often recently, so perhaps she knew something.
