Chapter 140 Ex-husband Gets Beaten

Xiang Jingheng led Xiang Chu around the village several times, searching for the residence of the Yu family elders.

"Dad, don't you know where Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma live?" Xiang Chu asked.

Xiang Jingheng couldn't answer, because he had never actually been there.

When he married Yu Yan, Old Master Yu had already retired, so Xiang Jingheng always felt that he hadn't really benefited from the Yu family's influence in running his tech company.

It wasn't until after his divorce from Yu Yan, and after encountering setbacks everywhere in the scientific research circle, that he realized how many people had given him opportunities because he was the grandson-in-law of Academician Yu.

He thought the Yu family hadn't provided him with any conveniences, little did he know that his marriage to Yu Yan was the greatest convenience.

Back then, he was young and arrogant, and he didn't care about anything. He didn't protect the family he should have protected, nor did he cultivate the relationships he should have cultivated.

Xiang Jingheng remembered that during their marriage, Yu Yan had suggested bringing Xiang Chu to Meisuli to see his parents, but he declined on the grounds that he was too busy with work.

After that, Yu Yan never mentioned it to him again; she came to Mesuli on her own.

Yu Yan is just like that. She's not good at pestering people, nor does she like to bother others. She only brings up things once, and if the other party refuses, she won't ask a second time.

The same applies to divorces.

She only gave him one chance, and when he didn't seize it, she wouldn't give him a second chance.

She's ruthless to herself and ruthless to others.

Xiang Jingheng couldn't find any landmark buildings, so he asked the villagers for directions and tried his best to translate from Chinese to Chinese in their incomprehensible dialect. Finally, he found them.

The reason we were able to confirm that this was the place was because we saw the bodyguards at the door and Old Master Yu standing in the middle like a guardian deity.

Is this the place?

Looking at the inconspicuous mud house, not only was Xiang Jingheng surprised, but Xiang Chu also found it unbelievable.

His godmother is also a scientist. He always thought that scientists were very rich and could live in big houses, but how come Yu Yan and her great-grandparents all live in such a dilapidated place?

Aren't they more impressive than their godmother's scientific achievements?

Xiang Chu didn't want to go any further.

The roads here are all dirt roads. His shoes were covered in mud when he went down, and they're still muddy now.

It's filthy.

The young master, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, said he absolutely couldn't stand it!

"Xiao Chu, behave well later."

As Xiang Jingheng unbuckled his seatbelt, he instructed his son, "Be sweet-talking, and try to please your great-grandparents more often, okay?"

Xiang Chu pursed her lips and said, "Oh."

Xiang Jingheng, accompanied by Xiang Chu and carrying gifts, walked towards Grandpa Yu, a slight smile deliberately appearing on his usually stern face. "Grandpa..."

Grandpa Yu gave him a smirk, then swung the rolling pin behind him and struck Jing Heng.

Xiang Chu: "!"

The bodyguards watched expressionlessly, but were ready to pounce at any moment. If Xiang Jingheng dared to fight back, they would swarm him.

It doesn't matter if someone's head is bleeding, there are doctors on the mountain who can take them to the hospital in time.

"You bastard!"

When he was young, Grandpa Yu had a fiery temper and got into many fights. Even if Xiang Jingheng really fought back, he wouldn't be afraid. He would fight as many times as he could, and if he couldn't beat Ayan and the bodyguards, he would.

If all else fails, call down the disciples of the Su Clan to help. I refuse to believe we can't cripple this bastard!

"What have you done to Xiaoyan? How dare you come here? You want to get beaten up? I'll grant your wish!" The old man shouted as he hit her.

Xiang Jingheng was hit several times, but he didn't flinch and just stood there straight.

He was indeed asking for a beating. He knew that the two elders of the Yu family wouldn't give him a good look when he arrived, but he didn't expect the old man to have such a violent temper. He started hitting him right away and didn't give him any face at all.

Even a rolling pin can hurt, after all, it's a solid wooden stick.

Xiang Jingheng couldn't hold the gifts in his hands anymore, and they fell to the ground. His back was also aching and he was hunched over.

He brought it on himself.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

Although the blows hurt, they also eased much of his guilt.

For so long, his relationship with Yu Yan had been handled very poorly. He knew that he had hurt Yu Yan, and he also knew that since they were divorced, they should go their separate ways and not get entangled with each other anymore.

But he didn't know what was wrong with him; he just couldn't let go!

He still wanted to see her. When he couldn't see Yu Yan, he would miss her. When he saw her standing with Shao Muyan, he felt uneasy, jealous, and envious.

Isn't this love?

So what is love?

Grandpa Yu didn't expect Xiang Jingheng to stand still and let him slap him.

Originally, I only wanted to hit him a few times to vent my anger, and I didn't really intend to hurt him. If I really hurt him, I would have to send him to the Su family and waste the Su family's medicine.

Just as Grandpa Yu was about to stop, a little cheetah suddenly rushed out and shoved him hard.

Why did you hit my dad?!

The bodyguards were on guard against Xiang Jingheng but not Xiang Chu. No one expected this kid to suddenly appear. Even though the bodyguards stepped forward in time to support Grandpa Yu and prevent him from falling, he still sprained his back.

The door opened from the inside, and Yu Yan was met with Xiang Jingheng's flushed face and Xiang Chu's red eyes.

Xiang Chu stood in front of Xiang Jingheng and activated his defensive mode again.

It's as if they're all bad guys who bullied his father, and they all deserve to die!

Whenever Yu Yan saw Xiang Chu's bloodthirsty and obsessive appearance, she felt a chill run down her spine and felt that this son was a complete stranger.

She gave birth to the child, but he didn't seem to resemble the Yu family at all. Instead, he looked exactly like the Xiang family, inheriting their roots.

"Grandpa, how are you?"

Yu Yan went over to support Old Master Yu, who was holding his back and sweating profusely from the pain. "It's nothing, I just strained my back."

Shao Muyan carried the old man on his back and instructed the bodyguard, "Go up the mountain quickly and ask Doctor Su to come and take a look."

"yes!"

The bodyguard responded and hurriedly ran up the mountain.

Shao Muyan, Yu Yan, and the bodyguards helped the old man into the house. Xiang Chu saw Shao Yun standing in the courtyard and seemed to belatedly realize what was happening, her expression changing.

Has he... gotten into trouble again?

The old lady looked at the father and son standing at the door, her expression cold: "What are you here for?"

“Grandma,” Xiang Jingheng pushed Xiang Chu away, took a step forward, and frowned in pain, “we’ve come to see you two.”

He picked up the gifts from the ground one by one and gave the old lady a pale smile.

The old lady glanced at the rolling pin on the ground, sighed inwardly, walked over and picked it up, saying casually, "You can come in too."

When Su Rui led his young apprentice into the house carrying a first-aid kit, he saw the Xiang family father and son sitting in the living room, looking somewhat uneasy.

After glancing at Xiang Chuji, Su Rui asked, "Is this the child Yu Yan has at the Xiang family?"

The old lady hummed in agreement.

"oh."

Su Rui glanced back indifferently, then his gaze fell on Shao Yun's anxious face, and he felt somewhat relieved.
