Chapter 86

Upstairs, Xiaoxiao was having a good time playing with her father. The shouts of Qin Dayong downstairs startled her, and she hurriedly hid in Yang Chen's arms.

Feeling his daughter trembling, Yang Chen's expression gradually grew cold.

"Smile, don't be afraid. Daddy's here, it's alright." Yang Chen hugged Xiao Xiao tightly and said as gently as possible.

"Dad, you won't be like Grandpa and drink all day every day, will you?" XiaoXiao suddenly looked up, with a worried expression.

Yang Chen quickly shook his head, assuring her, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. Dad will never be like Grandpa."

Then she felt much more relaxed.

Yang Chen didn't want to put Xiaoxiao under any more psychological pressure, so he changed the subject: "Xiaoxiao, would you like to live in a big house?"

"A big house? Even bigger than Grandpa's?" Xiao Xiao asked with wide, sparkling eyes.

Yang Chen nodded: "It's much bigger than your grandpa's house, and you even have your own princess room. There are lots of toys inside, and anything you want is in this house."

A smile lit up her eyes, clearly filled with joy and excitement. But then she seemed to remember something, her emotions plummeted, and she shook her head.

"You don't like living in that castle-like big house?" Yang Chen asked suspiciously.

Xiao Xiao looked at Yang Chen seriously and said, "I like castles, and I like lots and lots of toys. But such a big house must cost a lot of money. I don't want Mommy to work so hard to earn money."

She was so young, yet so sensible. Yang Chen's mood suddenly became heavy and filled with guilt.

"Xiao Xiao, rest assured, from now on, Dad will give you everything!" Yang Chen said solemnly.

Just then, a scream suddenly rang out from downstairs.

"Ah! You devil, you dare to hit me!" Zhou Yucun cried and shouted, her voice already reaching the upstairs.

Just after calming down and smiling, she suddenly hugged Yang Chen tightly: "Dad, I'm scared!"

"Smile, don't be afraid, Daddy is here." Yang Chen held his daughter tightly.

He suddenly felt an urge to take his daughter away, but he knew that she was Qin Xi's lifeline and he had no right to make this decision.

"Brother-in-law, you go and take a look quickly! Don't let anything happen." Qin Yi suddenly rushed into the room.

If he wasn't worried about Xiao Xiao being afraid alone, he would have gone down already.

"Please watch over Xiaoxiao for me." Yang Chen got up and walked out of the room.

"You slut, you're always causing trouble. You really think I'm easy to bully? If it weren't for this family, I would have kicked you out a long time ago! And now you want to lock me up? Get lost!"

Qin Dayong's eyes were red, and although he was speaking incoherently, you could still understand what he was saying.

"Oh! You despicable wretch, to say I've bullied you? Qin Dayong, do you even have a conscience? Who wasn't willing to take you back then and married you? After I followed you, have I ever let you live a good day?" Zhou Yucui also cried out loudly.

"Dad, Mom, please stop arguing, Xiaoxiao will be scared!" Qin Xi pleaded with a pained expression. She was exhausted from trying to persuade the two of them.

"And you, you wretched thing! If it weren't for you marrying that good-for-nothing in the first place, would we have been abandoned by the family? Would the company have been taken away from us?"

Qin Dayong, unwilling to let it go, suddenly turned his spear towards Qin Xi.

Qin Xi's face was full of astonishment, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Dad, how can you say that to me? I'm your daughter!"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Qin Dayong said, slapping Qin Xi's face hard.

Yang Chen had just stepped out of the room when he saw this scene. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his figure turned into a shadow, instantly blocking Qin Xi's face.

"Bang!"

He clutched Qin Dayong's wrist tightly, his expression icy cold: "Even if you're drunk, you can't lay a hand on her!"
