Chapter 1345 - 894: The Grand Finale – Has Xiao Xiaoang Been Returned to Yin Shixiu’s Family?

On this snowy day, Pu Yang was only wearing a thin sweater and a flimsy pair of jeans, and just like that, she was "thrown" out by Yin Shixiu.

Sister Liu had never seen him this angry and rough since she first started dealing with him!

She had wanted to go up and give Pu Yang a hand, but who knew that she had only taken two steps forward when she was glared back by a vicious look from Pu Yang as she lifted her eyes.

"Get the hell away from me!"

She hissed in a low voice.

Sister Liu hesitated to speak, but no matter how kind she was, if the other party didn’t appreciate it, there was no need for her to plaster on a smile and force herself over.

She went back into the house and shut the door without the slightest hesitation.

Once Yin Shixiu entered the house, he went straight into the study. Sister Liu didn’t know whether she should knock and ask about dinner. She hesitated for a bit, and then Yin Shixiu came out again, carrying a briefcase in his hand. He took the coat from the rack beside him and headed out.

"Young Master? Dinner—"

"No need to prepare anything for me. Take good care of Little Tiger, and keep the door to the house shut tight. Don’t let in anyone who shouldn’t be let in."

"...Yes, Young Master."

Yin Shixiu grabbed the car keys and went out. Pu Yang stood up from the ground, put on her coat, and didn’t bother picking up any of the things Yin Shixiu had thrown out. She just slung her small bag over her shoulder and was about to leave when the door opened again. A flicker of hope ignited in her eyes. Seeing Yin Shixiu come out, her mouth was already open, but before she could even get half a word out, he had already walked past her, stepping right over the clothes scattered on the ground without the slightest change in expression.

Treating her like air... that was already the greatest kindness Yin Shixiu could show her at this moment.

"Where are you going!"

Pu Yang’s heart, which had just lifted, fell again. She turned around and shouted at his back.

Yin Shixiu turned a deaf ear to her, his steps not pausing in the slightest... Pu Yang clenched her fists and yelled again, "Yin Shixiu, you’ll regret this!"

She yelled, but...

Pu Yang had finally managed to marry him and become his lawful wife. This was the result she’d spent so many years fighting for... To make her give it up so quickly... there were a thousand, ten thousand unwillingness and grievances in her heart.

Dragging her legs, she walked out of the Xiao Family villa, all the way to the edge of the villa district. Her hands and feet were frozen stiff. What was cold wasn’t just her body, but also her heart.

She hailed a cab and went back to the Pu Family.

In order to put on an act in front of Yin Shixiu that she was on the same side as him, she hadn’t been home for a very, very long time. And now that she finally came back, it was in such a wretched state—

"Xiao Yang?"

Pu Wei saw Pu Yang push the door open and walk into the house out of the pitch-black night, and couldn’t help but walk up to her, looking at her in confusion. "What happened to you? Your neck..."

Pu Wei grabbed Pu Yang’s hand and was startled. "Why are you this frozen?"

Pu Jin and Huang Sheng heard the commotion and hurried downstairs. Seeing their daughter in such a miserable state, they quickly stepped forward to ask what had happened.

But Pu Yang just waved her hand. "I want to rest. Don’t bother me."

"..."

The whole family exchanged looks. Pu Jin and Huang Sheng wanted to follow her to ask more questions but were stopped in time by Pu Wei. "I’ll go."

"..."

Pu Yang had just stepped into her own bedroom when Pu Wei followed her in.

"Xiao Yang, what on earth is going on? Why do you look so miserable? Didn’t you and Yin Shixiu just get your marriage license yesterday? Why are you back home today?"

Pu Yang slumped down on the edge of the bed. "Yin Shixiu doesn’t believe that Su Xiaomeng cheated on him. Instead, he ran to the Xiao Family to complain about me."

"Complain about you? What do you mean, ’complain about you’?"

"He told Yin Shixiu that I was the one who incited Xiao Xiaoang to go look for him, and he also told Yin Shixiu that someone was following them yesterday, trying to kill them."

Pu Yang braced her hands on the mattress. As she spoke to Pu Wei, she was still trying to figure out at which step things had gone wrong...

"How would he know that the people following them were sent by you? He’s got nothing to prove it."

"He’s got nothing, but Yin Shixiu still believed him!" Pu Yang said, slamming her fist on the bed in anger. "Where the hell does Yin Shixiu get that kind of confidence from!"

"..."

At this moment, Pu Wei also unconsciously clenched her fists.

So Yin Shixiu trusts Su Xiaomeng that much... With Xiao Xiaoang and Su Xiaomeng being that close, he never got suspicious?

"Even if Yin Shixiu didn’t believe what happened, why did he have to go all the way to the Xiao Family just to tell Yin Shixiu all this... The way he’s acting... it’s like he’s desperately trying to protect her..."

Pu Yang narrowed her eyes...

"But even if Yin Shixiu went to complain about you, how did you end up this miserable?"

This was the part Pu Wei couldn’t quite understand.

"Yin Shixiu blew up."

"..."

"He threw all my things out of his house. The way he was acting... I’m guessing he’s already thinking about how to divorce me."

"He wants to divorce you... But does he have the guts?"

"I don’t have any leverage on him anymore."

"..."

"Xiao Ang already told Yin Shixiu about this. Even though Yin Shixiu doesn’t believe it right now, that doesn’t mean he’ll ignore the possibility. Xiao Yan... probably has already made preparations, so... he’s no longer going to be constrained by me."

Pu Yang still narrowed Her eyes. Why, why...

How did Yin Shixiu know that the person who had someone secretly tailing Xiao Xiaoang last night was She? How could He be so sure?

And why did He have to meddle in Xiao Xiaoang’s business?

He even specially went to the Xiao Family to tell Xiao Yan this news, being this nosy... is that really Yin Shixiu’s style?

"Then should we think of a way to let Yin Shixiu know that Xiao Xiaoang really is Su Xiaomeng’s son? Should we find a way to put this paternity test report directly in front of Yin Shixiu! After He sees it, He can’t possibly still refuse to believe it, right?"

Pu Wei said anxiously.

"Once this blows up, Xiao Yan and I—"

"You can’t be naive enough to think that after Xiao Yan found out you had the intention to harm Xiao Xiaoang, He’d still stay married to you? He threw you out along with all your things; isn’t that enough to show how determined He is?"

While Pu Wei spoke, She wasn’t wrong, but more than that, what She said came from Her own unwillingness to accept it.

That Su Xiaomeng— the more She gained Yin Shixiu’s trust, the more Pu Wei wanted to see with Her own eyes the look on Yin Shixiu’s face when He discovered He had been betrayed long ago. That would be a spectacular sight...

"Sis, go out. I want to be alone and quiet. I need to think carefully... where exactly things went wrong..."

"What’s there to think about? It’s probably just that Yin Shixiu thinks you’re trying to smear Su Xiaomeng, so He took this chance to turn the tables on you! He wanted to teach you a lesson. As long as we let Him know we weren’t wrong, then by that time—"

Pu Yang raised Her hand and cut Pu Wei off. "It’s not like that... definitely not like that. I have a feeling."

"You’re always saying I’m impulsive and don’t think things through, but do you know what your biggest problem is? You’re too patient, to the point that everything you do is dragged out and never clean and neat! What is there to hesitate over! Just for the way these people treated you today, you should fight back once from a desperate corner!"

At this moment, Pu Yang gave Pu Wei a slightly irritated look. "Can you go out?"

"..." Pu Wei took a deep breath, then turned and walked out of the room.

Downstairs, Pu Jin and Huang Sheng were both waiting for Her to come down so they could ask Her what exactly was going on with Pu Yang.

But Pu Wei shook Her head and said She wasn’t very clear either.

After speaking, She went back to Her own room, already secretly having made up Her mind.

————

That night, Xiao Yan went straight to see a lawyer. He seemed unable to tolerate even one more moment the fact that He and Pu Yang were still legally husband and wife.

When He came home, it was already ten o’clock. He had wanted to call Xiao Xiaoang up and properly ask this little guy why He hadn’t told Him the truth...

Last night, He had cried so hard, yet He still hadn’t told Him the truth... Why is this child, Xiao Xiaoang, so opinionated, so unpredictable.

But when He actually reached the door to Xiao Xiaoang’s room, He still didn’t knock, and dragged His exhausted body back to His own room.

For the next two days, apart from His work at the hospital, Xiao Yan spent most of His time communicating with the divorce lawyer.

Xiao Yan hadn’t expected that Xiao Kaicheng would personally come looking for Him.

The villa where Xiao Anhe and Xiao Yan lived had always been a forbidden zone for Xiao Kaicheng. Xiao Anhe had long set a strict rule, resolutely not allowing Xiao Kaicheng to step even one foot inside.

But today, the old man came.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to go out, He ran into Xiao Kaicheng, who was standing at the door, leaning on a cane and wearing a thick coat.

"...Grandpa?"

Xiao Kaicheng took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Yan with a stern face, and said, "My grandson really is a busy man. You don’t answer when I call, and even when you see it, you don’t call back. I go to the hospital to find you and still come up empty..."

"..."

Xiao Yan was briefly stunned.

"Is your dad home?"

"He hasn’t come back yet. Grandpa, hurry and come in." Xiao Yan quickly helped His grandfather into the house. "It’s so cold, the ground’s already iced over. What are you doing running around outside at your age?"

Once inside, Xiao Kaicheng’s pair of wrinkled old hands really were somewhat numb from the cold, and Xiao Yan immediately had the housekeeper make a pot of ginger tea and bring it over.

He looked at Xiao Yan, saw that He was fully dressed and had clearly been about to go out earlier, and couldn’t help asking,

"Where were you planning to go just now?"

Xiao Yan pressed His lips together and said, "To see a lawyer."

Xiao Kaicheng’s brows knit slightly. "See a lawyer? For what?"

"Grandpa, why did you come? What’s so urgent that you had to find me..." Xiao Yan tried to dodge the question. He didn’t really want His grandfather getting involved in His issues with Pu Yang.

Looking at Xiao Yan and seeing that He was still properly at home, Xiao Kaicheng finally let out a small sigh of relief and said,

"You really don’t treat your grandfather like family..."

"..."

"Where’s that child, Xiao Xiaoang? Have you already given Him back to Yin Shixiu’s family?"

Xiao Kaicheng glanced around the room and, not seeing any sign of Xiao Xiaoang, asked this.

He thought that after Yin Shixiu learned the truth from Him, He would have already talked things through with Xiao Yan. He assumed that the reason Xiao Yan hadn’t agreed to see Him for the past few days was because He held a grudge against Him. The reason Xiao Kaicheng came uninvited was that He was genuinely anxious and uneasy, afraid that in losing His great-grandson, He would also lose His grandson.

However, He had no idea how big a shock His words would deliver to Xiao Yan.
