Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 659 - 660 Dangerous 14

"We don’t need to really listen to Song Yi. This woman is petty and narrow-minded. Her mother’s death was deserved! Losing a leg was too lenient! We don’t need Song Yi to get the jade bracelet, we can go to the Huo Family ourselves!" Ai Zhen proposed, waiting for Ai Feiyun to decide.

He, as a man, had to follow a woman’s opinion, thanks to the damn family rules!

In the Ai Family, women were the most respected, while men were considered inferior!

"Slap!" Ai Feiyun raised her hand and gave him another slap: "Idiot! Do you think entering the Huo Family is that easy? If it were that easy, why would we need Song Yi?"

She glared fiercely at her husband; he was truly useless!

She had married him against immense family pressure, believing he would share her burdens.

Unexpectedly, he couldn’t do anything, always thinking about taking her away from the Ai Family!

"Do whatever you want, I don’t care anymore!" Ai Zhen shouted angrily, opened the door, and left. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Leaving the house, he went to the beach, sitting and smoking, his handsome face marked by a rugged look due to his beard.

He smoked half a cigarette then tossed it away, lighting another.

He thought he could share some of her family pressure, but he still couldn’t help her at all.

Instead, he found himself degrading, nearly forgetting who he was.

Ai Zhen, no, perhaps he should be called Bai Yun, he was once just an ordinary person.

They met during university; they were classmates.

He was handsome, she was beautiful, recognized as the campus heartthrobs.

They liked each other at first sight and naturally got together.

They registered their marriage the year they graduated, on the very day his whole family was murdered...

She saw his mother-in-law’s family killed, the corpses of his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and young sister lying in the living room.

For the first time, she saw hatred in her eyes; she ultimately couldn’t escape them.

Later, she took him back to her family, for the first time he learned her backstory.

They had been together for years, she never talked about her family.

It wasn’t until that day he realized why she avoided discussing her family.

Her family was terrifying!

When he learned it was her family who killed his parents and sister, he fought desperately against them.

Though he barely clung to life, she agreed to save him.

Accepting to be the family successor, she became cold-blooded and ruthless!

The family began their devilish training; he trained furiously for vengeance.

Her mother had said, if he passed the training, he could kill those who murdered his parents.

He passed the training yet couldn’t bring himself to kill those people.

Henceforth, he was renamed Ai Zhen, Bai Yun had died alongside his parents and sister.

Disappeared from this world!

He hated her but loved her even more; he hated himself too.

If he hadn’t been with her, his family wouldn’t have been killed.

His only family was her, enduring humiliation in the Ai Family just for her.

If the Ai Family got what they wanted, they would let them leave.

Thus, he kept searching and finally found it,

As long as he obtained the Huo Family’s jade bracelet and another item from the Li Family, he could acquire that thing.

――

In a dark room, Ai Feiyun turned on the light. She stood before the mirror, looking at herself.

Raising her hand to see it, her eyes were painfully moist.

Had she treated him differently, her mother would have killed him.

She couldn’t let her mother see she still loved him, or else she would kill him.

Just like she had killed his father, mother, and sister.
