Return as the king, but only want to protect her

Chapter 2 Death Certificate

At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce with the license plate Jiang A88888 slowly pulled up to the airport entrance.

A middle-aged man in a black suit stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.

If Jiangzhou's upper class had witnessed this scene, they would have been shocked. This middle-aged man was Su Chengwu, the city's richest man, and yet, he was opening the car door for someone else.

Then, a white-haired elder emerged, dressed in a navy blue Tang suit. He held an exquisite cane, the tip of which was inlaid with a sapphire the size of an egg. Though seemingly frail and old, he stood erect, his figure imbued with a commanding presence.

"Young Master, should we be coming out soon?"

the elder suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on the airport exit.

Just then, two straight figures suddenly appeared, one in front and one behind.

The old man's gaze remained fixed on the young figure walking in front of him. To Su Chengwu's surprise, he quickly walked over, bowed, lowered his head, and said respectfully in one smooth movement: "Yandu Yuwen Family, Steward Han Tiancheng, take the young master back to Yandu and take charge of the Yuwen Family."

Hearing the old man's introduction, Yang Chen finally understood who this old man was.

However, hearing the words 'Yuwen Family', the joy of returning to his homeland was instantly diluted, and a surge of anger rose to his brows.

Yang Chen glanced at Han Tiancheng with contempt: "It's really ironic. Ten years ago, my mother and I were expelled from the family and threatened to never set foot in Yandu in this life, all because I was a bastard and had no right to possess anything of the Yuwen family. Now you want me to be in charge of the Yuwen family?"

"Eighteen years ago, when I was only nine years old, I knelt at the door of the Yuwen family with my mother in the pouring rain for a whole night. Did any of you ever feel a bit of sympathy?"

"Five years ago, my mother was seriously ill and had nowhere else to turn. I begged the Yuwen family to come forward to treat her. What did you do?"

"Now that you know I have returned from the northern border with glory and power, you want me to be in charge of the Yuwen family?"

"Go back and tell that person, to me, the Yuwen family, what do they mean? If you dare to provoke me again, don't blame me for personally traveling to Yandu."

These words had weighed on his heart for years. Five years of military experience had long since left him calm and composed, and he would never have experienced such a huge emotional upheaval. But at this moment, the long-suppressed memories made this iron-willed man's eyes redden.

Han Tiancheng sighed deeply, as if he had already expected this scene. He said, "Yanchen Group will soon be settled in Jiangzhou. This is the business your mother built single-handedly, named after you and her when she was still in Yandu. Now that your mother has passed away, the Yanchen Group should be returned to you."

Yang Chen smiled coldly and corrected him, "It's not the Yuwen Family returning it to me. The Yanchen Group originally belonged to my mother, but you once ruthlessly took it away."

With that, Yang Chen walked away.

"The Yuwen family, we are truly sorry!"

Han Tiancheng watched his departing figure with a look of sorrow on his face. He then instructed Su Chengwu beside him, "Xiao Su, from today on, you must do everything in your power to help the young master."

Hearing this, Su Chengwu said respectfully, "Old Han, without you, I, Su Chengwu, wouldn't be where I am today. Don't worry, I will wholeheartedly assist the young master."

Han Tiancheng suddenly added, "By the way, the young master got married five years ago. Now that he's returned, you should represent the Yuwen family and go to the Qin family to express your gratitude."

"Yes!"

...

A taxi sped by, and Yang Chen, sitting in the back seat, his thoughts drifted back to the past.

That kneeling moment in the pouring rain had completely closed his heart to the Yuwen family. Five years ago, his mother had collapsed from a serious illness. At that time, Yang Chen had just graduated, was penniless, and had been framed. He had spent a night with Qin Xi.

To protect their reputation, the Qin family invited Yang Chen to marry into the family. To pay for his mother's medical treatment, he agreed and asked the Qin family for 500,000 yuan. However, before he could even bring the money to the hospital, his mother had already passed away, and he never even saw her for the last time.

After his mother's death, Yang Chen followed the agreement and married into the Qin family. However, he felt unworthy of Qin Xi, whom he had long admired, and soon after their marriage, he enlisted in the army and left.

This separation lasted five years!

A brand-new Maybach was parked at the gate of an old courtyard.

Yang Chen glanced at the expensive luxury car and smiled softly, "It seems that Qin Xi's family is more valued by the Qin family than it was five years ago. My father-in-law even drives a luxury car worth three or four million yuan."

Upon returning to the Qin family, Yang Chen's emotions were extremely complicated. Although he was also a victim in the incident five years ago, he still took her virginity, a woman known as the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou.

She left without saying goodbye five years after their marriage. No matter what, it was his fault.

It's easy to imagine the countless rumors and gossip Qin Xi has endured over the years.

But back then, he was very self-deprecating. Only by joining the army could he possibly be worthy of Qin Xi. Now, after achieving success and retiring with all the power and wealth in his hands, he finally had the right to tell everyone that he was worthy of Qin Xi.

Reaching the courtyard gate, Yang Chen raised his hand, and just as he was about to close it, his arm suddenly froze. A harsh conversation came from inside the courtyard.

Mother Qin's voice rang out, "Xiao Wang, Auntie is currently applying for that loser's death certificate. Don't worry, once that loser's death certificate is issued, Xiaoxi will be single again."

Father Qin followed suit, "When the time comes, I, your Uncle Qin, will be the first to agree to your marriage with Xiaoxi."

"Thank you very much, Uncle and Aunt. As for Xiaoxi,

I'll leave her in your care." "Xiao Wang, don't worry, Xiaoxi will definitely agree."

"Then everything is left to Uncle and Aunt. By the way, Aunt, this is the pure natural bird's nest I asked a friend to bring back from abroad. Uncle, this is the ice jade Buddha statue I personally brought back for you in Myanmar."

...

The entire Qin family courtyard was filled with the laughter of Father and Mother Qin. Yang Chen's face turned pale and blue.

Thinking of that unforgettable figure, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. No matter what, he was wronging Qin Xi.

Besides, he came back this time for her.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yang Chen clicked his fingers, and a knock sounded at the door.

"Who is it?"

Qin's mother's voice was filled with impatience, as if her mood was disturbed by the knock. Then she heard footsteps getting closer and closer.

Qin's mother opened the door, and before the smile on her face completely disappeared, she saw a figure she never wanted to see again. She immediately looked like she had seen a ghost, and said in shock and anger: "You... Are you Yang Chen?"
