For the first time in his life, Su Yuchen was feeling so weak and lost. He wanted to finish the Jiang family who dared to plan his murder, who dared to investigate his Mei but he could not!
His hands were tied!
He could not touch even the hair of Jiang family and that was the reason somewhere they found guts to plan his murder plan.
He thought last time he had dug them down in the grounds, they would not be able to stand on their legs again and would not dare to do something to him or his family, but here they were, they had planned his murder!
"Ahh…" Su Yuchen yelled and through the table angrily.
He was feeling very angry at that moment. If possible, he could have killed the head of the Jiang family. He was the expert mind behind his murder plan but he could not. So, he was taking out his anger on the poor furniture of his office.
After breaking nearly everything in his office, except for his photo with Xin Mei, Su Yuchen slumped down on the floor. He started to take deep breaths and felt his whole body numb.
"What to do now?" he groaned and pulled his hairs with anger.
What was bugging him was the fact that they investigated about Xin Mei, what if they targeted her? He could not loss her because of some old grievances.

Hearing the loud yells of Su Yuchen, Xin Mei entered in his office. Her heart ached when she saw his condition and the condition of his office.
Xin Mei was feeling aching in her heart not only because of Su Yuchen who was in pain but she was also feeling bad for the office which she had decorated with so much hard work and now, it looked no better than a battlefield.
"Yuchen," her eyes widened when she saw blood oozing out from his hand. Her heart started to beat fast in pain.
She rushed out of the office and returned with a first aid kit in her hand. Avoiding the glasses which had fallen on the floor, she walked towards Su Yuchen. She took his hand in hers and started to clean it.
After cleaning it, she applied some ointment on his wound and tied it up with a bandage. All this while, tears were flowing from her eyes.
"Yuchen, who is this Jiang family? Why their name has affected you so badly? How can you harm yourself because of them?" her voice was heavy and full of pain.
"Jiang family is someone whom I knew and I don't think I am ready to tell you about them." Su Yuchen sighed and stood up from the floor.
"Xin Mei, my mind is completely blank for now. I think whatever will come out from my mouth will not be right. So, I have decided that tonight I will sleep in the guest room. Goodnight."
And with that, Su Yuchen made his way toward the guest room. His heart was beating fast with fear. He knew Xin Mei had the power to force the truth out of his mouth and he did not want to tell her what link he had with the Jiang family.
He closed the room door behind himself and started to take deep breaths. Many old flashes from before he was four-year-old and flashes of eight year old memories started to flash in front of his eyes which made him afraid.
He leaned against the door and fell on the floor with a thud.
"I thought everything is over in between us then why have you returned?" he ground and closed his eyes in pain.

In the office of Su Yuchen
Xin Mei could not control the tears which were falling from her eyes. She was crying for the pain of her husband.
Why was he in so much pain?
What was hurting him so much?
Was Jiang family somehow related to his past?
And if yes, then what was his past? Why was his past so mysterious?
"I can't be weak. I cannot fall weak. This is a weak time for Su Yuchen and I have to support him instead of crying." Xin Mei consoled herself and made her way towards her room.
The next morning, the environment of the house was not good. Everyone was silent. Su Zixin who was not aware of last night's incident wanted to speak but he kept himself mum seeing the murderous and dejected expression on the face of Su Yuchen.
It was like someone had chained an angry lion who was ready to hunt down the whole village.
"Yuchen, how are you feeling now?" Xin Mei asked in a soft voice and placed her hand on his very stiff shoulder.
"I am good." Came his cold reply.
"Do you want to tell me something?"
Su Yuchen shook his head negatively and focused on his breakfast plate.
"Yuchen, you know I am here to listen to you, right? You can share about everything with me which is running in your heart. I am here to listen to the problems in your heart." She spoke gently.
"En," Su Yuchen agreed and stood up from his seat. "I am leaving now."
And with that, Su Yuchen hurriedly left the house. Xin Mei gripped the chair hard and looked at his half-finished plate. He had left his breakfast in between.
Had he just run away because she asked him to share his problems with her?
He also did not give her a goodbye kiss which also pinched her heart.
'Xin Mei, he is troubled, stop thinking much.' She consoled herself.
She took her seat on the seat where Su Yuchen was sitting. She started to have her food from his plate.
"Zixin, do you know about some Jiang family?" Xin Mei asked Su Zixin who froze when he heard her question.
Su Zixin took a deep breath and placed his chopsticks aside.
"So that's why brother is looking like a restless lion from the morning." He shook his head. "Xiao Mei, I don't know much about Jiang family but I know they have something to do with brother."
"As your friend, I will advise you to not ask about them from brother. Last time I remember, brother had scolded me very badly because I tried to investigate about them. He doesn't want anyone close to him to know about the Jiang family and his relationship."
Xin Mei nodded her head and looked down. Now she knew Jiang's family was a part of the past of Su Yuchen.
Maybe he did not want her to know who they were and what relationship they had with him. But she was Xin Mei, she would find out about his relation to them no matter what.
**
Su Yuchen closed his eyes and groaned. He could remember his past and the crimes which he had done in his immaturity.
He could not let Xin Mei knew about them!
He could not let her hate him because of his past and the crimes which he had committed!
