The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 432 - 429: Beat Some More, Thousands of Yuan 11_1
The aunt immediately rushed up. "Brother-in-law, you’re finally here! My sister and my son were beaten up so badly. What are we going to do? We absolutely can’t let these two get away with this. Let’s sue them!"
Huang’s father shot her a fierce glare, then turned to Yan Xixi. She was sitting on the bench, hands in her lap, hair disheveled, and blood staining the corner of her mouth, utterly silent.
A police officer asked, "So, are you going to reconcile or not?"
"No!" the aunt cried.
"Let them go," Huang’s father said.
Seeing her brother-in-law’s fury, the aunt didn’t dare say another word and hastily retreated a couple of steps. The officer immediately waved to Yan Xixi and Xu Xiaoya. "You two can go."
As she passed Huang’s father, Yan Xixi paused briefly, but she didn’t meet his gaze. Huang’s father wanted to call out to her, but he could only sigh to himself, completely unsure of what he could possibly say.
「After all the commotion, the two women didn’t get back home until late at night.」
Yan Xixi lay on the sofa, unable to swallow even a sip of water. The weather was hot, and her mind was in turmoil. She ached so intensely it felt as if she couldn’t even straighten her back.
Xu Xiaoya was extremely anxious. "Xixi, how about we go to the hospital for a check-up? I’ll take you right now."
She just shook her head. There were no tears.
How did things come to this? Why have we become worse than enemies? Huang Xiaojue, is this the "love" you claim to offer me? If you hadn’t belittled me, hadn’t treated me so cheaply, would your mother and your relatives dare to treat me this way?
Ever since my father died, I’ve had no sense of security. Then came the years of drifting with my mother, a life as a young con artist... He didn’t even help when my mother was dying... For all this, I never blamed him. I always thought he had no other choice.
Later, when I finally reunited with him, and he loved me, I thought I had at last found a safe harbor. I never expected that harbor to turn into a raging, tumultuous sea. In the blink of an eye, a monstrous wave crashed down, engulfing everything.
Only then did I realize that the past was utterly severed—even the slightest, most insignificant thread of affection was cut, clean and complete.
Her phone rang. It was Huang Xiaojue’s number.
There were several missed calls already, and many text messages.
She stared at the phone for a long time, then set his number to the blacklist.
She vowed it would be a lifelong blacklist.
「In her hospital bed, Huang’s mother tossed and turned.」
When she saw her husband enter, she immediately began to groan, "So painful! It’s killing me..."
Huang’s father scowled. "Old woman, where exactly are you hurt? The CT report says you haven’t broken any bones or torn any ligaments. It’s nothing more than a few superficial wounds."
Huang’s mother wailed, "What do you know? You’re not the one in pain, so of course you wouldn’t understand! I was nearly beaten to death by that woman! Call our son right now! Tell him to come back immediately! I’m being killed by his ’wonderful’ girlfriend..."
Huang’s father remained motionless.
"Old man, why aren’t you making the call?"
Huang’s father handed her the phone. "You call."
"Why should I be the one to call?"
"I can’t bring myself to say it! How am I supposed to tell our son? ’Son, while you’re busy and exhausted from your business trip, your mother got into a fight with your girlfriend? And now there’s been such a huge mess that she’s ended up in the hospital?’ Besides, all our relatives and friends know about this. Old woman, I can’t bear this humiliation! I’ll lose too much face!"
Huang’s mother grumbled resentfully, "So I just have to take this beating for nothing? That bitch! She actually dared to hit me too! You didn’t see how terrifying she looked then—like a rabid dog, snapping at anyone in sight! She almost killed me... And it wasn’t just me; Xiaojue’s cousin was innocently harmed too..."
