Chapter 2 Stealing the Beam and Replacing the Pillar
Chen Yang's heart had turned completely cold.
For this past year, he had been as humble as a dog, showing her affection and care, but ultimately, he still couldn't win over Liu Xin's heart.
Since that was the case, he might as well let go and let her be happy.
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Liu Xin froze for a moment. Immediately, she angrily pointed at Chen Yang, "You scumbag! So you've grown a temper now! Let me tell you, if it weren't for Grandpa threatening me with the family fortune a year ago, warning me that if I didn't marry you, our family wouldn't get any inheritance, do you think I would have married you!?"
"Now, Grandpa is dead, and I've long been fed up with you, you waste!"
"Divorce, sign the divorce papers today, and you get out tonight!"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave tonight. Also, this is for you."
Chen Yang placed the takeout box on the ground.
"Hahahahaha! Buddy, I thank you. Married Xin Xin for a year and you didn't even touch her! Are you an eunuch!"
Yang Long walked over, put his arm around Liu Xin's waist, and said, "Thank you for letting go. Xin Xin and I will be getting married soon, so you must come for the wedding banquet."
Chen Yang glanced at the smug Yang Long and snorted, "Treat her well, or else, I will kill you!"
"Threatening me? Hahaha! You waste still dare to threaten this young master!" Yang Long burst into laughter. "Do you know who I am? You simpering dog, you're truly infatuated!"
Liu Xin said impatiently, "Hurry up and get out, you useless thing. I lost fifty thousand yuan in my business and couldn't sleep for nights, and you, you're utterly useless! But Brother Long, he can fix the fifty thousand shortfall with just a flick of his finger. That's the difference!"
Yang Long pinched Liu Xin's cheek and said, "Don't worry, Xin Xin, fifty thousand is a trifle to me."
Chen Yang didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.
His footsteps were hurried and desolate.
He, the Lord of the Heavenly Doctor Hall, a generation's Heavenly Venerate, with unparalleled medical skills and noble status!
He had given his heart and soul to Liu Xin.
Yet, in return, he received such disgust and betrayal!
"Take this trash away!" Liu Xin kicked the takeout box on the ground!
With a "bang," the takeout box overturned, revealing fifty stacks of crisp hundred-yuan bills.
"Ah! This... this is..." Liu Xin was startled and hurriedly bent down to pick up the money.
Her mother-in-law, Cai Yun, seeing this, also scrambled and fell to the ground, continuously grabbing at the banknotes.
"Oh my goodness, how can there be so much money?" Cai Yun's tongue trembled with joy.
Liu Xin squatted on the ground, her hand touching the banknotes, and her heart trembled slightly.
Even a pet dog would evoke some emotion.
She had been married to Chen Yang for a year. Although she never loved him, they had been together day and night, and were extremely familiar with each other.
But soon, this feeling was buried.
She gritted her teeth and sneered inwardly. If it weren't for her grandfather forcing her to marry a useless person like Chen Yang a year ago, with her looks and conditions, she would have already entered a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury! How could she be worried about fifty thousand yuan?!
Yang Long, seeing the money on the ground, frowned slightly, then sneered, "So my money was picked up by this waste, Chen Yang! He's quite shameless to present the money he found as a gift to you."
"Your money? Brother Long, is this your money?" Liu Xin asked curiously.
Yang Long nodded and said, "Of course! You told me earlier that you lost fifty thousand yuan, so I went to the bank to withdraw it intending to give it to you, but I lost it on the way. Fifty thousand is a small matter to me, so I didn't tell you just now. I didn't expect Chen Yang to have picked it up! Otherwise, do you think a delivery man like him could have fifty thousand yuan!"
"So that's how it is!" Liu Xin snorted, her aversion to Chen Yang growing even stronger!
Then she smiled and hugged Yang Long, "Brother Long, you're so good. Once I get the divorce certificate with that dog, we can officially get married."
Yang Long nodded, then frowned and said, "Xin Xin, what's wrong with your arm? I remember when we were in college, your arm didn't have this bite mark. How did such a terrifying row of bite marks appear now? Is it serious?"
Liu Xin giggled and said, "It's nothing. Grandpa had a doctor draw these teeth marks on me, saying it would increase my luck and bring me wealth and honor in the future. Grandpa was truly senile, first having the doctor deliberately cut my arm, and then forcing me to marry that waste Chen Yang!"
Yang Long shook his head, "Your grandfather, Liu Rushan, must have been senile. He used to be known as a shrewd old fox, how could he mess around with you like this? This scar, it won't disappear, will it?"
"It can be removed!" Cai Yun said triumphantly, hugging a large bundle of money, "Previously, Liu Ran had a row of teeth marks on her arm. Two years ago, the old man took her to the hospital, and they removed it with a laser. Now, it's almost invisible on her arm."
Liu Daqiang, standing nearby, suddenly became nervous. He quickly shushed them and said anxiously, "All of you, shut up! Before the old man died, he made us all swear that we would never mention these things. What's wrong with you all today? You're all so loose-lipped!"
Liu Xin said indignantly, "Dad! What time is it? You're still obeying Grandpa's words?! Grandpa was just senile! If he hadn't forced me to marry Chen Yang, would our family be in such dire straits now?!"
At this moment.
Chen Yang stood outside Liu Xin's room.
He felt like he had fallen into an ice cave!
His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
His mind went blank!
The world's only Heavenly Card in his hand cracked inch by inch!
The Heavenly Card could overdraft ten billion and enjoy supreme treatment anywhere.
Most importantly, seeing the Heavenly Card was like seeing the Four Great War Gods personally arrive.
The Heavenly Card was jointly created by the Four Great War Gods of Huaxia in gratitude for Chen Yang saving their lives! If it weren't for Chen Yang, the Saint of Medicine, intervening repeatedly, the Four Great War Gods would have perished on the battlefield long ago!
Originally, Chen Yang had intended to return and give this Heavenly Card to Liu Xin, to repay a twenty-year-old kindness.
But... he heard this conversation!
Liu Rushan! You old dog! How dare you... steal the beam and replace the pillar!
You removed the scar from Liu Ran's arm and created one on Liu Xin's arm!
So... the true savior from twenty years ago... was Liu Ran!
Inside the room, Liu Xin, Cai Yun, and the others were still discussing Liu Rushan's dying instructions.
Liu Xin asked, "What is Liu Ran doing now? She should be getting married soon, right?"
"Married? Hmph, who would marry that ugly monster!" Cai Yun burst into laughter. "In her third year of university, her face was burned by a classmate. Later, she was expelled from school before graduating and didn't even get her degree. Her family owes a mountain of usurious loans. I heard that she's being forced by creditors to move steel bars at the dock every day to pay off her debts."
"Ah? So miserable? Hehehe, I remember she used to be very beautiful, like a little princess. I didn't expect her to be working at the dock now." Liu Xin giggled happily upon hearing the news about her cousin.
Cai Yun waved her hand. "She used to be pretty, just disobedient and stubborn. The old man disliked her whole family. When your grandfather was alive, he hated this granddaughter the most."
"Originally, your grandfather wanted to arrange for Liu Ran to marry into the Bai family, but Liu Ran refused no matter what and offended the Bai family."
"So, her current predicament is her own fault."
"It's so hot today, and she, a woman, has to move steel bars at the dock. She probably won't live much longer."
"Boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came from the wall outside the door!
