Chapter 680 Against the Odds
Late at night, in a secluded and dimly lit wooden house in the heart of the city.
Chen FengXing sat alone by the bed, wearing an old military uniform. The uniform was dark yellow but exceptionally clean, without a single wrinkle.
Under the moonlight, the dozen or so military medals in front of him gleamed brightly. Sitting upright, he resembled an unsheathed sword, emanating a sharp edge.
"Ring..."
With the sound of the phone ringing incessantly beside him, Chen Yuanyuan's missed calls numbered in the dozens, but he remained solemn, as if he didn't hear a thing.
He simply sat alone in the room, silent for a long time, as fragments of his daughter's childhood memories flooded his mind.
"Yuanyuan, why did you fight with your classmates?"
"They called me a wild child and said I didn't have a father. I couldn't bear it. Dad is a soldier, a hero who defends our country. I won't allow them to mock you like that."
That year, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes; he was crying like a child.
"Yuanyuan, wait for me for three more years. After three years, I will voluntarily retire and be with you forever."
"Mm."
But who would have known that in the following three years and another three years, he would break his promise time and time again, watching his daughter's eyes, once filled with anticipation,
gradually become disappointed, becoming accustomed to it?
When he finally returned, he had become disabled.
His wife had passed away, and his daughter had already grown into an adult...
But despite all this, she never complained or blamed him.
But did he truly have the qualifications to be a father?
Chen FengXing clenched his fist, his throat choked, and he let out a long sigh, full of self-blame and regret. "Yuanyuan, I’m sorry that I couldn't protect you."
In the first half of his life, he devoted his youth and passion to the military, to the point where Chen Yuanyuan and her mother relied on each other for survival. Growing up under the guidance and bullying of others, he did nothing.
In the second half of his life, he retired as a disabled soldier, his heart cold and indifferent, only wanting to escape from reality, gradually eroded by life, his passion extinguished.
He simply wanted to live his life in a daze, quietly and steadily, and spend his days peacefully with his daughter, making up for the years of missed fatherly love.
But the humiliation and harm his daughter suffered today made him suddenly realize that people always bullied soft people!
To the extent that even refugees like Chen FengXing dared to bully his daughter!
"Xiao Yunlong, I originally didn't want to argue with you based on our past relationship, but you should never have hurt Yuanyuan."
"I, Chen FengXing, have only one daughter."
Chen FengXing's eyes flickered with a sharp gleam, and then his entire demeanor instantly changed, as if he were reborn... Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yuanyuan, for the past few years, I have always been submissive, but today, for you, I will go berserk!"
Radiance flowed as he suddenly stood up, his dark green military uniform fluttering in the wind, his sword unsheathed, advancing fearlessly.
Three years ago, he left the army disabled.
Three years later, he put on his military uniform again, grasping his long knife, only to seek justice for his daughter!
Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
The Xiao family had a large population and a vast estate, with over two hundred members from the main and branch lines, most of whom resided in the ancestral courtyard of the Xiao family.
Xiao Xin, the eldest daughter who was most cherished by Xiao Yunlong, naturally had the privilege to acquire her own exclusive courtyard, located not far from the ancestral courtyard of the Xiao family at the foot of the mountain, which was grand and luxurious.
