Chapter 446 - Chapter 446 Chapter 444 Cut Ties Completely Severing Kindness

Chapter 446: Chapter 444: Cut Ties Completely, Severing Kindness and Righteousness Chapter 446: Chapter 444: Cut Ties Completely, Severing Kindness and Righteousness The night wind was like a knife scraping across Xia Yiwan’s face.

She widened her eyes in disbelief at the man before her.

Yes, it was indeed her who had been insisting on divorce recently.

But now, with her father in trouble, she had hoped that he would help her.

After all, they were not yet divorced, and Father Xia was still his father-in-law.

But he said to her indifferently, “Let’s divorce!”

His attitude made it clear that he only believed Sister Shi Ying and not her father.

Xia Yiwan felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Her heart ached as if it were being ripped apart.

Her eyes rapidly filled with hot tears, blurring her vision.

Her lips trembled uncontrollably, “Yanxi, do you also think that my dad would do such a thing?”

Yanxi did not believe that Father Xia would do such a thing, but what he had seen with his own eyes, could there be any doubt?

Sister Ying was covered in wounds, all caused by Father Xia!

And Young Master Zhou had seen Father Xia staring straight at Sister Ying in the banquet hall. With both witness and evidence present, how could he believe her father?

“Xia Yiwan, one shouldn’t be too selfish. Sister Ying encountered such an ordeal, she nearly died from jumping off a building! Everyone must take responsibility for their mistakes, including your father!”

Xia Yiwan felt utterly cold.

Looking at the stunningly handsome man before her, with the coldness in his peach blossom eyes, she felt impossibly estranged.

Tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes.

“Yanxi, don’t forget, your Sister Ying can hypnotize…”

Xia Yiwan had not finished speaking when Yanxi interrupted her furiously, “Are you saying Sister Ying hypnotized your father to deliberately do that to her? Xia Yiwan, your imagination could stretch even further! If I hadn’t burst in when I did, she might have been violated!”

He used to think Xia Yiwan was kind, but now, he only felt that she had no sense of right and wrong when it came to her relatives.

The tears reached Xia Yiwan’s lips, and she tasted their salty bitterness.

She stared blankly at the man before her, her heart feeling as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

It hurt so much that she could barely breathe.

This man, whom she loved desperately, was only a few steps away from her.

Yet between them, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.

They were close enough to touch, yet worlds apart.

His peach blossom eyes harbored indifference and rage, and also a hint of disappointment and disgust.

Such a look shattered her last bit of strength and dignity.

She knew that pleading with him was useless now.

All his trust had been given to Shi Ying.

Whatever she said, he would not believe!

Since they had been married, her parents had treated him well. Every time they went back to the Xia family, they loved him as their own son.

But her father was in trouble, and yet he still chose to trample on him harshly.

This was probably the difference between love and lack thereof!

He loved Shi Ying, so whatever Shi Ying said or did, he believed.

He did not love her, so whatever she said or did, he disbelieved!

Xia Yiwan truly felt miserable, for her emotions had implicated her father.

Mother Xia still doesn’t know about this, how heartbroken would she be if she found out?

Xia Yiwan looked at the man before her with blurred tears, her body shaking violently, “Yanxi, I’m asking you one last time, do you believe me, or do you believe Shi Ying?”

Yanxi frowned deeply, “Xia Yiwan, how many times do I have to tell you? I only believe what I see with my own eyes!”

Xia Yiwan raised her hand and fiercely slapped Yanxi’s face.

This time, he didn’t stop her from landing that slap.

Yanxi closed his eyes momentarily, his handsome face showing a trace of grimness, “Xia Yiwan, after this slap, I don’t owe you anything. Once you give birth, leave the capital and never show yourself before me again!”

Xia Yiwan’s lips curled up in a cold, mocking smile, “Yanxi, I truly feel sorry for you!”

“You say Shi Ying is Gu Siting’s first love, but after Gu Siting dumped her, she turned around and latched onto you as her backup. Now she’s cold-heartedly driving a wedge between our relationship and even plotted against my father! She must be laughing triumphantly, since you, her loyal lapdog, trust her so much you even sent your own father-in-law to prison. Heh, even if you lay your heart at her feet, do you really think she’ll fall in love with you?”

Xia Yiwan has always been hot-tempered and straightforward with her words. Her heart had already sunk to rock bottom, and she didn’t care about Yanxi’s feelings anymore. Wherever the knife would hurt the most, she stabbed mercilessly.

Sure enough, the handsome yet bewitching face of Yanxi had darkened to the point of dripping with gloom.

“Xia Yiwan,” Yanxi grabbed her delicate jaw forcefully, the coldness in his peach blossom eyes intensifying, “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re currently pregnant, do you know the consequences of the words you’ve just uttered?”

His handsome face was covered with a terrifying shadow, his voice dangerous and his breath spraying on her face like an angered wild beast ready to devour her viciously.

Their faces were very close, but their gazes towards each other were extremely hostile.

From strangers to spouses, and now to enemies–

Xia Yiwan had never expected their relationship to come to this point.

If she had known that falling in love with him would lead her down this irreversible path, she would never have allowed herself to be moved.

But in this world, there is no medicine for regret, nor can anyone control their own heart!

Seeing the tears swirling in Xia Yiwan’s eyes, Yanxi felt a sudden tightness in his chest and an inexplicable pain.

He released the grip on her jaw, the tension in his handsome face relaxing slightly, “What your father did this time really went too far. Sister Shi Ying is in emotional turmoil right now, but once she calms down a bit, we’ll see if she can forgive your father. Maybe–”

Xia Yiwan couldn’t bear listening any longer.

She utterly refused to believe her father could commit such a monstrous act!

And she couldn’t possibly ask for Shi Ying’s forgiveness!

“Yanxi, as you wish, from now on, we are completely severed, with no debts of gratitude or ties of loyalty!”

Xia Yiwan wiped away the tears that slid down her cheeks and quickly got into her car.

Without staying a second longer, she started the car and left the Yan Family villa.

Yanxi watched the direction in which Xia Yiwan drove off, standing in place for a long time.

Feeling the urge to smoke, he pulled out a cigarette and took several harsh drags.

…

Driving aimlessly through the bustling city, Xia Yiwan felt like a headless fly.

Her chest hurt and felt unbearably tight, as if she was suffocating.

Unable to go on, she stopped the car by the roadside and called Ming Yao.

The phone was quickly answered, “Wanwan?”

Hearing Ming Yao’s voice, Xia Yiwan felt her nose turn uncomfortably sour, “Yaoyao…”

Sensing that something was off in Xia Yiwan’s voice, Ming Yao anxiously asked, “Wanwan, what happened?”

“Yaoyao, I really don’t know who else to turn to. Can you ask Fourth Master to help me?”

Although Gu Siting had been driven out of the Gu Family, with his years of experience in the business world, he likely had connections with elite lawyers.

Ordinary lawyers couldn’t even see Father Xia, but if a top-notch lawyer got involved, there might be a glimmer of hope.
