The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

After a long while, Song Xiaoxue's mother calmed down a little. She sat on the chair and stared blankly ahead: "Xiao Yichen, how can I trust you? Xiaoxue has given everything for you and for this family. She gave you her best years, but you treat her like this."

Xiao Yichen walked up to her, squatted down, and held her hand: "Mom, I know my crime is unforgivable. But please believe me, I will be responsible for Qiao Chu's child, and I will always remember Xiaoxue's kindness. I will spend the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes."

Song Xiaoxue's mother pulled her hand back and turned her head away: "I don't want to see you again."

After a long while, Xiao Yichen spoke again: "Mom, I know it's hard for you to accept it now. But I really didn't do anything to let Xiaoxue down. I swear to God, if I tell even a single lie, let me be struck by lightning. During my marriage, I absolutely did not let Xiaoxue down."

Song Xiaoxue's mother raised her head and looked at Xiao Yichen, her eyes full of disappointment and sadness: "Xiao Yichen, even if what you said is true, then what is the meaning of these five years of marriage? Xiaoxue has given everything for this family, she didn't even have the chance to have her own children, and you..."

Xiao Yichen lowered his head in pain: "Mom, I'm sorry Xiaoxue, sorry you and dad. I know I failed your expectations. It's my fault that I didn't manage this marriage well. I was indeed careless in my attitude towards marriage at that time."

"You, are you so careless? What's the point of saying this now? Xiaoxue is no longer here!" Song Xiaoxue's mother shouted hysterically.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but shed tears: "Mom, I know Xiaoxue can't come back, but I will always remember her and her kindness. I will spend my whole life to make up for my mistakes."

Song Xiaoxue's mother looked at Xiao Yichen with mixed feelings. She knew that Xiao Yichen was not a bad person, but the facts before her were unacceptable to her.

"Xiao Yichen, I don't care what you say, I won't accept this. I want the truth, a truth that will convince me." After saying that, she turned and left the office.

Xiao Yichen stood there blankly, looking at her departing back, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

After a long while, Song Xiaoxue's mother, whose body was shaking with anger and sadness, finally calmed down a little. She slowly sat down on the chair, as if her soul had been taken away, staring blankly ahead with a heart-wrenchingly empty look in her eyes.

"Xiao Yichen, how can I believe you? Xiaoxue has given everything for you and for this family. She gave you her best years, but you treat her like this." Song Xiaoxue's mother's voice was hoarse and full of despair. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with deep resentment.

Xiao Yichen walked up to her with a painful look on his face, slowly squatted down, and held her hands tightly, which were cold due to anger, with regret in his voice: "Mom, I know my sin is unforgivable. But please believe me, I will be responsible for Qiao Chu's child, and I will always remember Xiaoxue's kindness. I will spend the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes."

Song Xiaoxue's mother pulled her hand back as if she was scalded. She turned her head away, not wanting to look at the man who disappointed her so much. She said coldly, "I don't want to see you again."

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the silence in the office was suffocating. After a long while, Xiao Yichen spoke again with difficulty, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Mom, I know it's hard for you to accept it now. But I really didn't do anything to let Xiaoxue down. I swear to God, if I tell even a single lie, let me be struck by lightning. During my marriage, I absolutely did not let Xiaoxue down." His eyes were firm, but revealed endless pain.

Song Xiaoxue's mother raised her head, her eyes no longer had the kindness of the past, but were replaced by full of disappointment and sadness. She stared straight at Xiao Yichen, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Yichen, even if what you said is true, what is the meaning of these five years of marriage? Xiaoxue has given everything for this family. She gets up early every day to prepare breakfast, do housework, and keep the house in order. In order to support your career, she gave up her opportunity to study abroad. She didn't even have the opportunity to have her own children, and you..." At this point, her voice choked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Yichen lowered his head in pain: "Mom, I'm sorry to Xiaoxue, sorry to you and Dad. I know I failed your expectations. It's my fault that I didn't manage this marriage well. I was really careless about my marriage at that time. I only thought about work, but ignored Xiaoxue's feelings and her efforts. I thought that as long as I gave her material satisfaction and a home she wanted, I was doing her a good thing."

"You, careless? What's the point of saying this now? Xiaoxue is gone!" Song Xiaoxue's mother could no longer control her emotions and shouted hysterically. Her tears flowed like a flood. "My daughter, she is so kind and loves you so much, how could you treat her like this? She gave everything for this family, even sacrificed her dreams and pursuits, but what did she get in the end? It was your betrayal and endless pain!" She covered her face with her hands, her body shaking constantly.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but burst into tears. "Mom, I know Xiaoxue can't come back, but I will always remember her and her kindness. I will spend my whole life to make up for my mistakes. I will take good care of you and Dad, and I will do everything I can to make Xiaoxue feel at ease."

Song Xiaoxue's mother looked up and looked at the man she once regarded as her son, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Xiao Yichen was not a born bad person. He once cared for Xiaoxue and filled this family with laughter. But the facts before her were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart again and again.

"Xiao Yichen, I don't care what you say, I won't accept this. I want the truth, a truth that will convince me." After saying that, she slowly stood up, turned around and left the office with staggering steps.

Xiao Yichen stood there blankly, looking at her departing figure. That lonely figure seemed to have taken away his last glimmer of hope. His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness. His body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and he slowly collapsed to the ground. Only his lonely figure and endless regret were left in the office. The sunlight shone on him through the window, but it could not warm his cold heart.

Xiao Yiyang received a call from Xiao Yichen and learned that his sister-in-law's mother went to the hospital to see him. Xiao Yichen had no choice but to ask for his opinion.

Xiao Yiyang took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, the fire flickering in the wind. Then he pressed the cigarette butt hard against the wall, turned around and drove home.

At home, Qin Lan was busy in the living room, wiping the already spotless furniture. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car stopping at the door. She subconsciously looked up and looked out the window. Seeing the figure of her youngest son Xiao Yiyang, she was stunned. This was neither a festival nor a weekend, so why did her youngest son come home in broad daylight?

Xiao Yiyang pushed the door open with an elusive look on his face. When he saw Xiao Zhengchun, he said he wanted to play chess with him, and the two of them set up the chessboard.

Qin Lan held the rag in her hand, walked up to him suspiciously, and looked him up and down.

"Second brother, you came home in broad daylight just to play chess with your dad?" Qin Lan asked with a frown.

Xiao Yiyang stared at the chessboard in the living room and responded casually, "What's wrong, Ms. Qin? Can't I come back during the day?"

Qin Lan tugged at the corner of Xiao Zhengchun's clothes as he sat in front of the chessboard, and whispered, "Look, you waited for your child to come back, but you didn't care when your second child came back to see you. You're a former criminal police officer, but you don't even have this little bit of sensitivity!"

Xiao Zhengchun glanced at Xiao Yiyang, then looked straight at his wife and said with a smile: "Look, you look forward to your child not coming back, but why are you not used to the second child coming back to see you?"

Qin Lan rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "You are the only one who knows how to talk! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something must be wrong with the second brother."

Xiao Yiyang couldn't help laughing while listening to his parents' conversation: "Okay, Ms. Qin, you are really good at observing people's expressions. If you really want to learn it, you have to sleep with a master! You have been with dad for so many years, you must have learned a lot of skills."

"Go away! You are so unruly!" Qin Lan picked up the rag in her hand and threw it at Xiao Yiyang. Xiao Yiyang was quick-eyed and quick-handed and caught it right away.

"Haha, Ms. Qin, I'm here because I want to ask for your opinion on something." Xiao Yiyang's expression became serious.

Qin Lan and Xiao Zhengchun looked at each other, and their doubts grew even more.

"Tell me, if you had a six-year-old granddaughter now, would you be happy?" Xiao Yiyang asked cautiously.

"Granddaughter? What granddaughter?" Qin Lan was stunned. For so many years, she had been looking forward to it, but her first and second children were both grandchildren, but they were not born to her. She had nothing to do, so she gave all the delicious food to the neighbor's grandson. How come a six-year-old granddaughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Xiao Zhengchun put down the chess piece in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he asked seriously: "You and Ruofei want to adopt a child?"

Xiao Yiyang was stunned. This old man was really meticulous in his thinking, but he guessed wrong this time.

"No, I mean biological. If you two had a biological granddaughter now, six years old, and suddenly appeared in front of you, would you be very happy?" Xiao Yiyang kept it a secret, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

When Qin Lan heard this, she suddenly understood. Her eyes widened. There was no trace of accusation on her face. Instead, she was filled with uncontrollable excitement and surprise: "Biological child, yours? Did you have a child outside before?"

Xiao Yiyang smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, don't get excited, it's not mine."

The smile on Qin Lan's face froze instantly, and she asked in confusion: "If it's not yours? Whose is it? Second brother, don't beat around the bush with mom, just tell me what's going on."
