Chapter 156 She's someone I'll protect; no one can bully her.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou's expression grew even colder.

"Grandpa, what did you call my wife? I just woke up and my mind isn't working very well, so I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again?"

Old Master Chi was reckless, not stupid; he could hear the obvious coldness in Chi Yanzhou's words.

"What do you care what I call her? You should just divorce her. If she stays in the Chi family, she'll only cause trouble for our family," said Old Master Chi.

He wouldn't confront Chi Yanzhou directly; he would simply emphasize his own demands.

Chi Yanzhou said coldly, "Grandpa, this is a new era, a new society. Grandpa, don't put your old ideas into practice now. There's no such thing as divorcing a wife now, only divorce."

"Also, my wife is great, I love her very much, and I have no plans to separate from her."

"Finally, husband and wife are one. Please treat my wife well, Grandpa. If you value her, you value me. If you respect her, you respect me. If you don't like her, you don't like me."

"If you don't like us, then let's have less contact in the future, so we won't get in your way. What do you say?"

Grandpa Chi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Chi Yanzhou to be so protective of Xia Yuhuan.

What kind of magic does Xia Yuhuan possess?

How did she manage to get her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all to speak up for her?

For a moment, Old Master Chi was so angry that he felt dizzy and his body swayed.

Grandma Chi was startled and quickly helped Grandpa Chi up, exclaiming, "Old man, are you alright?"

When Chi Yanzhou saw that Old Master Chi looked pale and about to faint, he also frowned deeply.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Chi Yanzhou replied.

Xia Yuhuan, who was eavesdropping with He Xiaojie by the door, was startled when she heard the noise.

Good heavens, could it be that Chi Yanzhou protected her and angered Old Master Chi to the point of causing him some kind of serious injury?

We can't let Chi Yanzhou bear the infamy of being unfilial for causing his grandfather's death because of her.

Just as Xia Yuhuan was about to push open the door and rush in to save the person, she heard a loud and furious roar.

"Chi Yanzhou, you little brat, are you threatening me? Huh? I'm your grandpa!"

Upon hearing the strong and resonant voice, Xia Yuhuan immediately deduced that Old Master Chi was in good health and stopped worrying.

So she crouched down again and continued eavesdropping.

He Xiaojie, who was standing to the side, tugged at her sleeve.

Xia Yuhuan looked at him, and He Xiaojie looked at Xia Yuhuan with a troubled expression, as if to say: Aren't you going in to check? Is everything really alright?

"Don't worry, he should be fine. The old man has a strong voice and there's nothing wrong with him," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

He Xiaojie nodded gently, her little face still wrinkled.

Uncle Chi and his great-grandparents were talking inside the house, but they were squatting outside eavesdropping. Is that really okay?

Inside the house, Old Master Chi pointed at Chi Yanzhou and cursed him for a long time.

Chi Yanzhou didn't reply, but just watched him curse coldly.

His attitude made Old Master Chi unable to continue his rant, finding it pointless.

"You really don't want to divorce her?" Old Master Chi asked again, unwilling to give up.

“Grandpa, I’ve already said it, I don’t want to.” Chi Yanzhou said without hesitation.

Grandpa Chi was so angry he almost fell over backwards.

Chi Yanzhou added, "Furthermore, Grandpa, you really need to change your thinking. I've already told you, there's no such thing as divorcing a wife now, so why are you still clinging to your old ideas?"

Old Master Chi: "..."

"You...you wretched child, you won't listen to me, you'll regret it sooner or later, hmph!"

As he spoke, Grandpa Chi turned and headed towards the door.

He couldn't stay in this place any longer.

He was afraid he would be so angry that he would die if he stayed for even a second longer.

Chi Yanzhou seemed indifferent to the situation.

His grandfather was quite a scoundrel when he was young, taking advantage of the family's small amount of money to do nothing productive.

However, as the situation worsened, he squandered almost all of the family's meager assets.

However, Old Master Chi was quite lucky. He had three older brothers and two younger brothers. All three older brothers devoted themselves to serving the country and were all doing quite well. He himself also unexpectedly saved a military officer.

The officer owed Old Master Chi a life-saving favor, so he took him in and gave him a position.

Although Old Master Chi was not very capable, he had a keen eye and managed to get along quite well with the officers.

Because everything went smoothly for him, Old Master Chi's personality became domineering and autocratic.

After his older brothers passed away one after another, and with no one left to keep him in check, he became even more unruly and extremely disobedient.

He throws a tantrum if things don't go his way.

However, neither Chi Yanzhou nor Chi Shaokang were willing to indulge Old Master Chi, so Old Master Chi suffered the most setbacks with them.

Chi Yanzhou even felt that Xia Yuhuan was being targeted by Old Master Chi because of him and his father.

Grandma Chi was helpless when she saw the two parting on bad terms.

She said to Chi Yanzhou, "Yanzhou, you know how awful your grandfather is, so don't bother with him."

Chi Yanzhou treated Old Madam Chi much better than he treated Old Master Chi.

He nodded slightly, "I know, Grandma, and I didn't hold it against Grandpa."

"But Ayu is my wife, and I can't let her suffer injustice without knowing why. So I have to make my stance clear so that people know that I will protect her and no one can bully her."

Old Master Chi had already slowed down, thinking that once his wife persuaded Chi Yanzhou to apologize to him, he would stay.

After all, he was very happy that his beloved grandson had woken up from his coma.

He was just stubborn and concerned about his image. He felt he had lost face if he wasn't given a way out, so naturally he refused.

Upon hearing Chi Yanzhou's veiled warning, he nearly burst out laughing. He stomped his foot and sped toward the door.

Hearing the commotion, Xia Yuhuan quickly grabbed He Xiaojie and tried to run away.

However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya standing behind her, looking at her strangely.

"Xiao Huan, what are you and Xiao Jie doing sneaking around here?" Zhang Xianya asked curiously.

When she and Chi Shaokang returned, they saw Xia Yuhuan pulling He Xiaojie along, squatting at the door, looking rather suspicious.

Xia Yuhuan awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, completely bewildered.

Help! I got caught eavesdropping! How could anyone put themselves in such an embarrassing situation?

"Dad, Mom, I..."

Before Xia Yuhuan could finish speaking, the door was opened by Grandpa Chi.

Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya looked at Old Master Chi.

"Dad, you've come to see Yanzhou! Perfect timing, it's getting late, why don't you and Mom stay for a meal before you leave?"

“Yan Zhou just woke up today, so let’s stay and celebrate,” Zhang Xianya said.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chi instinctively wanted to agree.

When his gaze fell on Xia Yuhuan, he immediately let out a heavy snort: "I'd like to, but I'm afraid someone in this family won't welcome me!"
