CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 294: OPERATION CLEANUP 1_2

However, at this moment, the man standing before her is willing to embrace everything, just to provide her with a warm home.

And she, too, is willing to join hands with him through the years, to weather life’s storms together.

They gaze silently into each other’s eyes.

A thousand words turn into butterflies of the heart, fluttering gracefully over the meadows of the soul.

Suddenly, a voice rose: "Junyi, you can’t get married! Your mother’s body is not yet cold; how can you get married so soon? Are you being fair to your mother?"

Father Yang, holding a microphone, made everyone in the venue hear this statement clear as day.

And Tian Xin’s heart instantly plummeted to the abyss—what she feared the most has indeed happened!

She had been preoccupied these days and hadn’t questioned Yang Junyi about his father; but now, as his father stood up in opposition, her heart clenched in an instant.

Yang Junyi’s face darkened. Although his mother had passed away, he believed she wouldn’t mind these formalities; marrying Tian Xin was not solely about love, but also about greater responsibilities.

Especially after what Tian Xin went through on the island, how could he let her bear it all alone?

Yet, Father Yang’s stubbornness and lack of understanding undoubtedly infuriated Yang Junyi.

Yang Junyi looked sternly at his father: "Dad, Tian Xin and I love each other. I hope to have your blessing. Before Mom passed, she wanted Tian Xin and I to be together; she wouldn’t care about all this."

At this point, Father Yang pulled Yang Junyi aside and whispered: "Junyi, are you aware that she has been with another man...?"

This time, not only did Yang Junyi’s face change, but so did Tian Xin’s.

Tian Xin didn’t know where Father Yang had gotten such news; she wanted to forget all of that and start anew.

"Dad..." With a heavy voice, Yang Junyi cut him off, "In my heart, Tian Xin always has been a pure and kind girl; I will marry her no matter what."

Seeing Yang Junyi so resolved, Father Yang then took out his late spouse’s portrait and memorial tablet and placed them on the festive stage.

This scene took every guest’s breath away; they gasped in shock!

The deceased are gone, while the living must carry on better, strive harder, and live more splendidly.

However, this act of Father Yang left not just the concerned parties but also the other guests shaking their heads in sighs.

Everyone knew what it meant to bring the deceased’s photo and memorial tablet to a wedding ceremony—it was simply unthinkable.

"Dad..." Yang Junyi knelt before his father, "I like Tian Xin, I love her, I want to be with her... I have never asked for anything from you and Mom since I was a child, but now I only ask you to let me marry Tian Xin..."

Tears had already blurred Tian Xin’s vision; witnessing Yang Junyi’s profound affection, all her deep emotions transformed into droplets raining down her cheeks.

The Tian Family’s parents were moved as well. They too liked Yang Junyi, who was gentle, well-mannered, and treated Tian Xin well. But Father Yang held such an attitude.

Tian’s father said, "Relative, you see how much the kids love each other. I think if your wife knew from the beyond, she would approve of their union. Please stop this, let them be together!"

At that moment, Father Yang pushed Tian’s father aside and whispered fiercely: "What do you know? My son is innocent and pure; what about your daughter? Her virtue has long been tainted..."

Tian’s father’s face grew somber. Although Father Yang didn’t raise his voice and kept it private, what exactly happened?

"Xinxin..." Tian’s father looked at his daughter who was crying like a tearful child, "What’s really going on?"

"Dad..." Tian Xin was heartbroken, at this moment she wanted to mention nothing more.

Seeing his son still kneeling, begging him, Father Yang hardened his heart and struck his head against the table corner, "Spouse, I’m coming; you must be lonely down there by yourself, this old man will come keep you company..."

In an instant, blood gushed forth, and Father Yang lay on the ground...

"Dad..." Yang Junyi immediately ran over.

Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions. Gu Qingchen immediately examined Father Yang’s injury while Bei Ran went to comfort Tian Xin.

Gu Qingchen looked at Father Yang’s wound and said, "We must get to the hospital right away!"

The emergency room of the hospital.

Yang Junyi was also one of the attending doctors; he entered with the other doctors and nurses.

Gu Qingchen waited outside, Bei Ran stayed with Tian Xin.

Tian Xin remained silent; Bei Ran sat her down.

Tian’s mother and father arrived soon after, "Xinxin, tell mom what exactly happened?"

Tian Xin choked up, "Mom, Dad, there’s nothing to worry about..."

"How can you say there’s nothing to worry about with something this serious?" Tian’s mother asked anxiously, "Xinxin, when did you get hurt like this, and you never told your mom?"

"Mom, it’s all in the past; I don’t want to talk about it anymore." Tian Xin’s head rested on Bei Ran’s shoulder, "You and dad, don’t bring it up again, I will live well, I’ll be okay..."

Hearing her daughter say this, Tian’s mother felt even more heartache, "I’m sorry, Xinxin, I’ve always been preoccupied with your brother’s matters, perhaps I’ve neglected you sometimes. You’re a girl, having gone through such an experience, how could you not be heartbroken..."

Tian’s father had remained silent all this while; now, he spoke, "Perhaps our family has neglected the need for love from those around us. Even if we start from this moment, loving this home, loving each other more, it’s not too late."

They continued waiting outside for news about Father Yang. When Yang Junyi came out, he said, "He’s still in a coma; we’ll observe his condition over the next couple of days."

What was a joyous wedding has turned into this!

Everyone witnessing or hearing about it felt heartbroken too.
