Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Apology

After leaving the building, Chen Xi prepared to call a cab home. However, Lin Xuan was adamant about driving both of them home.

Since Chen Xi was unable to win her in an argument, he could only carry the little kiddo and sit in the car.

On the way home, Lin Xuan wanted to say something but stopped herself from doing so. Looking at her anxious and restless behavior, Chen Xi smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry…I had no idea things would turn out like this. I wouldn’t have called Lu Lu over if I knew.”

“It’s fine. Didn’t she apologize to you already? It is only a coincidence, who would have thought that we would meet Zhao Yuan there?”

Lin Xuan submerged into silence for a while before worriedly asking, “Zhao Yuan, he…will be okay, right?”

She had seen Zhao Yuan’s condition, otherwise, she would not have been so scared to drag Chen Xi away.

After saying that, Lin Xuan immediately thought of something and quickly clarified, “I’m not worried about him. I’m just scared that if something happens to him, you will be in trouble…”

It’s more than just troublesome.

Article 234 of the Law clearly states that:

Those who committed Intentional physical harm to the victim shall be sentenced to a maximum of 3 years imprisonment, detention or restriction.

If the victim is severely injured, the offender will serve a maximum of 10 years and a minimum of 3 years imprisonment.

If the victim is deceased or severely mutilated, resulting in damaging disabilities, the offender will serve a minimum of 10 years, life imprisonment or be given a death sentence.

All Lin Xuan could do now was to pray silently, hoping that Zhao Yuan would be fine.

If it was just a light injury, she could help Chen Xi plead for forgiveness and come to an agreement, solving the matter privately.

However, she personally witnessed Zhao Yuan spitting out blood and guessed that it was not as simple as a light injury…

The current Chen Xi had no power and standing. Furthermore, he even had a child with him.

If he was really imprisoned, what would happen to the child?

“Chen Xi, why don’t I send you to the train station now? You can bring Nian Nian to your native home so as to lay low for a bit. Zhao Yuan’s origin is not simple, I bet he won’t let you off so easily…”

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more afraid she got. Hence, with a face full of concern, she suggested her own opinion.

“It’s okay, don’t worry. Since I have made my move, that means that I am prepared for what comes next. Just relax.”

Chen Xi smiled as he comforted her. Then, he slightly hugged the little kiddo tighter.

Lin Xuan thought that Zhao Yuan had suffered some light injuries, however, Chen Xi was very clear just how destructive that kick was.

With this kick of his, it was likely that Zhao Yuan would be at death’s door soon.

While Chen Xi carried Nian Nian, he turned his head and looked out the window.

The small cheek of the sleeping little kiddo was reflected in the car window, making her seemed extremely adorable.

Through the window, Chen Xi glanced at the flashing neon lights, his gaze comparable to a knife. That piercing gaze was like the wintry of the 12th lunar month, threatening to tear apart the pitch black night sky.

Zhao Yuan would never have thought that due to a moment of him being itchy mouth, he had opened a Pandora Box.

… …  …

After a while, Lin Xuan and the father and daughter par arrived at Kang Ju district.

After Chen Xi got off the car, Lin Xuan rolled down her car window and said with concern, “If you need anything, immediately call me. I know a few people in Zhong Hai, they might be able to help.”

“Relax, it’s alright.”

Chen Xi smiled at and waved at her before turning around, and walked towards the small district.

She waited until Chen Xi left before nervously taking out her phone and sent a message to Wang Lu, asking her about Zhao Yuan’s condition.

If it was not serious, she could still help Chen Xi to settle this matter.

Even if she had to pay a price she would not hesitate

After sending a text message, Lin Xuan started the car and was ready to leave.

However, she suddenly saw that Chen Xi was still standing at the gate of the district.

It was already 10 at night, the dance squad at the district square had long dispersed. The surroundings were very quiet and faint sounds of televisions could be heard from the apartments.

Under the illumination of the lamp at the district gate, Chen Xi’s shadow was stretched.

In front of him stood a lofty woman.

After some detailed scrutinization, Lin Xuan discovered that the woman was extremely beautiful.

That woman was talking to Chen Xi and she seemed to be quite emotional.

Lin Xuan felt that the woman looked very familiar however she could not remember where she saw her before.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Xuan stopped the car and opened the car doors. She sneakily leaned over, wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation.

At this moment, a shocking scene unraveled in front of Lin Xuan.

… … …

Chen Xi came to the district gate while carrying Nian Nian.

At this time, a woman appeared.

She had waited for an extremely long time and in that moment when she saw Chen Xi, she immediately stood up from the chair and brisked in front of Chen Xi, blocking his way.

When Chen Xi heard that familiar ‘da da’ sound, he knew who the person was without looking.

Ning Qiu Tong was still forever displaying that proud and arrogant manner.

Poised in an expensive and black long dress, wearing a pair of sharp high heels, her face applied with an exquisite make up and adorned with precious ornaments…

Even in a first-tier city such as Zhong Hai, she was still that proud and arrogant queen.

Although she had waited outside the district gate for an entire 3 hours just to meet Chen Xi, she still maintained that usual look and arrogantly raised her chin.

“Mr Chen, I want to discuss with you.”

Due to the absence of Ning Zhong Guo, Ning Qiu Tong did not hold back and exhibit her other side.

This side of hers would not throw a tantrum, cry or even lower her head.

Hence, she came here to negotiate with Chen Xi.

That woman was 1.68m. After standing on a pair of high heels of 10cm, her height was nearing that of Chen Xi’s.

Chen Xi glanced at her and said, “Sorry, my mood is not good today. I don’t want to discuss.”

After saying that, Chen Xi immediately walked towards the small district.

“Wait.”

Ning Qiu Tong reached out her arm and blocked Chen Xi. With a tinge of anxiousness, she said, “Don’t you want 100,000¥? I will increase it by 10 fold, 1,000,000¥, how about it?

Hearing that, Chen Xi directed her a cold gaze and impatiently said, “Even if it’s 10,000,000¥, negotiations are still off.”

Actually, from the moment he made his move, the law abiding fetters in his heart had already collapsed.

Money?

If he wanted how much, there would be how much.

If Zhao Yuan’s incident did not happen, Chen Xi would still consider saving Ning Zhong Guo for money.

However…

It’s too late now.

Chen Xi directly brushed away Ning Qiu Tong’s hand and continued to make his way forward.

Ning Qiu Tong was stunned for a while and when she recovered, Chen Xi was almost at the district gate.

She immediately ran in front of Chen Xi and blocked him again. Emotionally, she said, “Mr Chen, I sincerely apologize for my previous actions towards you. Please forgive my rudeness, I’m sorry!”

After that, Ning Qiu gave Chen Xi a deep bow.

Chen Xi stopped in his tracks.

He glanced at Ning Qiu Tong and calmly said, “Leave. From that moment I stepped out of your house, I have already decided not to help anymore. I’ve already gave you the medicine, consuming that will temporarily stop your father’s illness. During that time, you will have enough time to search for other methods to save him.”

Saying up till here, Chen Xi paused for a while before emphasizing seriously, “I’ve always said things just once, so don’t come and annoy me anymore, understand?”

After that, Chen Xi once again continued forward.

Ning Qiu Tong stood rooted to the spot.

Next, the scene that shocked Lin Xuan happened.

Ning Qiu Tong ran in front of Chen Xi and under the Chen Xi’s cold stare, she heavily knelt on the floor.

When her knees hit the ground, a soft ‘peng’ could be heard.

It might be because she wanted to repent what she did wrong or perhaps, she no longer wanted to see her father suffer, this woman that was as proud as a swan decided to use the most sincere way of apology to beg for Chen Xi’s forgiveness.

In the beginning, it was her who chased Chen Xi out of the house. Hence, it would naturally have to be her to invite Chen Xi back.

“Mr Chen, the one you are carrying is your daughter, right? Since you are also a father, I believe you know the deep relationship between a father and a daughter. Hence…I implore that you can understand how I feel as a daughter. I’m begging you, please save my father!”

Next, she lowered her head, until her forehead gently touched the ground.
