Chapter 294: Brother Jue
Entering the house, Chu Han casually locked the door.
Chu Manyun was packing her luggage, a suitcase, and she only brought her clothes and toiletries. When he looked up and saw that his daughter was like a thief, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing? This is not Longtan Tiger's Den, so you don't have to be so careful." ”
Only then did Chu Han realize that his steps were full of obscenity, so he straightened his spine, sat down in front of Chu Manyun, and helped her hang the clothes she brought into the closet.
This room is very big.
It's not the master bedroom, but it can catch up with the master bedroom of her and Gu Shuo's two small nests, which is probably the benefit of the family castle, and the independent space that everyone enjoys is very sufficient.
In contrast, she and Gu Shuo can really be described as poor and sour.
"What are you arguing with Chu Mu?" she heard the conversation at the door just now, this was the first time she had seen her daughter so unforgiving, but this was all to protect her as a mother, and it really made her a little crying and laughing.
Chu Han's weakness came up again and asked, "Mom, do you like him?"
Although my mother is over forty, she can still find happiness at this age.
In fact, in her selfish heart, Chu Han felt that her mother had suffered so much, and there should be someone who could give her happiness, so that her daughter could also feel at ease, but if this person was Chu Mu, she really couldn't accept it for a while.
After all, her mother suffered hardships back then, and it had a lot to do with Chu Mu, this bastard not only failed to protect her mother, but now she also wants to use her mother's relationship with the Gu family to win over the Gu family and increase her chances of winning, which she can't tolerate.
Even if Chu Mu has feelings for her mother at the moment, it is absolutely impossible for her to agree to them being together if she can't rule out Chu Mu's intentions.
"Don't stab people like a hedgehog. He just came over to see what else I needed, make a list, and get ready. After so many years, it's not an ignorant age, where do you get so much self-willedness?"
Chu Han's cheeks flushed, anyway, she wouldn't apologize to Chu Mu, she said those words just to make Chu Mu dispel unnecessary thoughts.
As soon as this daughter's tail cocked, Chu Manyun knew what she was going to fart.
Shaking his head, he sighed: "There are two photo albums there, take them and see what your mother used to be like." ”
Chu Han immediately became interested and hurriedly took the album.
One of these two albums is Chu Manyun's childhood, like a little princess. In all her photos, including the first photo taken when she was two or three years old when she first came to Chu's house, Chu Mu was there.
Yes, even if I don't know what Chu Mu looked like when he was a child, he is the only one in a wheelchair. However, when he was a child, he didn't seem to be in a wheelchair often, but his body looked weak, and occasionally he could be seen running on the garden grass with a golden retriever, and the golden retriever was carrying two or three years old Chu Manyun on his back.
The scene at that time was so beautiful that people dare not recall, and the more beautiful it was at that time, the more suffering it was compared to the later days.
The second album is from Chu Manyun's adulthood, and Chu Mu's figure is no longer common at this time. The expression on Chu Manyun's face also changed a lot, his smile became blurred, and there seemed to be a miserable mist between his eyebrows.
"Mom, where's Grandma?"
Chu Han flipped through all the photos, and saw almost all the people in the Chu family, but he didn't see the grandmother.
"Her photo ......" Chu Manyun pursed his lips, and pulled out a torn and glued photo from the gap in the first album, on which was a kind and beautiful woman, holding Chu Manyun, who was about ten years old, and Chu Mu, who had grown into a handsome teenager.
"Your grandmother's pictures were all destroyed by the old man after she died. Some were torn, some were burned. I'm afraid this is the only one left. ”
It's been so long since she can't remember what her stepmother looks like. I only vaguely remember that her hands were soft and warm, and there was a good smell on her body.
Chu Han doesn't think it's because Chu Zhengxiong ruined his photos because he loved his deceased wife too much, Chu Zhengxiong's behavior shows that he is a very mean old man.
On the contrary, this grandmother looks soft as water, quiet and elegant, and has the appearance of a lady in the old days.
This kind of temperament is really not something that ordinary people can imitate, it is a comfortable and quiet emanating from the inside out.
And it can be seen from the photos that this family castle was not as hostile as it is now, probably because of her hostess.
"When I was fifteen years old in boarding high school, she suddenly fell ill, and in my sophomore year of high school, she was out of control, but I didn't know it. Until I came back from summer vacation, I only saw her tombstone and posthumous portrait...... and the colorless Chu Mu kneeling in front of the tomb.
Even now, Chu Manyun didn't dare to recall that feeling at that time.
Her dearest and most respected mother, she didn't even send her on the last ride, and I heard people say that that day her mother returned to the light and asked someone to call her back, but no one moved, she kept her eyes open, and waited to see her for the last time, but in the end, she swallowed her last breath and couldn't wait for her daughter to arrive.
Chu Manyun's hand holding the photo suddenly trembled, Chu Han hurriedly held it, hugged her with his hand, and didn't dare to say a word.
Chu Manyun gasped violently, "At that time, Chu Mu was also abroad, and neither of her two favorite children was around, so she went alone. ”
Yes, alone, Chu Zhengxiong is cold-blooded and ruthless, death does not make people live in peace, on a hot day, stop her spirit in the garden, and let everyone watch her body rot and be eaten by insects. Until Chu Mu returned home and forcibly cremated her body......
It's a challenge to what people can do.
The most hateful thing is that he also took a photo and hung it in the mourning hall for three months......
This matter used to be known to everyone in your circle, but it has also become a taboo, everyone knows it, but no one talks about it, it is really this kind of thing that normal people can't say.
Even after so many years, it seems that many things have been forgotten, but Chu Manyun still can't talk to Chu Han about this kind of thing.
Chu Mu and Chu Manyun completely broke with the old man because of this, and then the contradiction intensified, until they finally parted ways, and no one in this family could stay.
And Old Man Chu regarded them as enemies, if it weren't for the fact that his body had been empty in the past two years and there were signs that he had run out of oil and dried up, Chu Mu might not even be able to return to China.
Chu Han only felt that her mother's emotions were extremely excited, and she didn't dare to ask anything more, so she had to hug her mother and gently pat her back to try to make her feel better.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Chu Manyun's mood gradually calmed down, raised her head, carefully put her mother's photo into the album with her own hands, and put the album into the bookshelf, so that her face looked better.
Gu Shuo had naturally heard of these things, so facing Chu Zhengxiong at this moment, he couldn't see any due respect on his face except for politeness.
Chu Zhengxiong is not uncommon with other people's attitudes towards him, although he has run out of oil, his face is still rigid and indifferent, and he asked him: "Chu Manyun is a member of my Chu family, do you Gu family take care of it too much?"
Gu Shuo smiled: "The old man is old, it is estimated that it is easy to forget things, and more than twenty years ago, Auntie and she had little to do with the Chu family." And in the past 20 years, there has not even been any connection. It's a bit unreasonable for you to say that she is the Chu family. ”
Chu Zhengxiong narrowed his eyes dangerously: "So you are in charge of the affairs of the Chu family?"
"No, no, I think Old Chu you misunderstood. The Gu family does not intend to meddle in the affairs of the Chu family, as long as the Chu family does not fight Aunt Chu and Chu Han's ideas, we Gu family will not care about whatever trouble you want internally. I don't know how much you know about the previous things, Chu Ying wanted to use Aunt Chu to deal with Chu Mu, and did some things, which hurt their mother and daughter a lot, and the Gu family had to do it as a last resort, but this was also limited to the imperial capital. If you don't believe me, it's easy to find out. ”
Chu Zhengxiong resisted the Gu family so much, maybe Chu Ying said something behind his back.
If Gu Shuo hadn't dragged Chu Ying in the imperial capital, Chu Mu really wouldn't have been able to win half of the rights so smoothly. From this point of view, the Gu family did meddle in the affairs of the Chu family, but that was also the punishment that Chu Ying deserved for going to the Gu family's territory to stir up trouble!
"What's more, if the Gu family really has the heart to intervene, it is estimated that the Chu family should not be the current situation now, what do you say?"
Chu Zhengxiong relieved his breath for a while with a dark face, and he had to admit that Gu Shuo's words were very reasonable. It's not that he doesn't know the style of the Gu family, but it's also necessary to take precautions and say hello in advance.
How those two unfilial sons fight, it is the Chu family's own business, and he will never allow other families to take the opportunity to intervene in the Chu family.
Gu Shuo and Chu Zhengxiong didn't have a pleasant conversation, but it went well.
This is the case with family friends, and it is necessary to take a clear position, just like explaining the rules of the game before the game starts, and no one should cross that bottom line.
It was close to twelve o'clock, and the restaurant had already come to invite someone to dinner.
The old man came here in person from Chu Ying.
Chu Han and Chu Manyun hadn't gone downstairs yet, Chu Hui reluctantly went upstairs, but met Luo Fei, who also went up, this is the grandson of the Luo family in Mancheng, and he is the future head of the Luo family, and he is about the same age as Chu Hui.
Because the names of the two people are one Hui, one fei, and a little similar, although Chu Hui is not a descendant, he is very capable in the Chu family, and there is only Chu Mu on the side of the descendant, Chu Mu has never married and had children, and has always regarded Chu Hui as his own, if Chu Mu masters the foundation of the Chu family, then there is no doubt that Chu Hui will also become the head of the family.
So the two are destined to be opponents.
However, in the Chu family, Luo Fei, an outsider, still had to keep a low profile, watched Chu Hui go upstairs, and said with a smile: "How can such a trivial matter trouble you, I'll just go up and call someone." ”
Chu Hui squinted, could he still understand the thoughts of the Luo family? Luo Su was planning to let this eldest nephew hook up with Chu Han. While letting his daughter seduce Gu Shuo, he didn't even let Chu Han go, Chu Ying's ambition was not ordinary.
Chu Hui replied with a smile on Luo Fei's face: "This is the Chu family, Young Master Luo is a guest, let you do this kind of thing that the master should do, it's a little unreasonable, isn't it?"
This is clearly to let him abide by his duties as a guest and not dominate the guests.
The Chu family can't take his turn to point fingers!
Luo Fei secretly grinded his teeth, it was not good to conflict with others in other people's territory, so he had to make a gesture of invitation to him, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately killed him with a blank eye.
That Chu Han had already arrived at the top of the stairs, and when he saw Luo Fei like this, the fox's eyes were smiling. It seems that when he entered the door before, it was this person who hit Chu Mu's wheelchair directly and almost overturned the person.
Before, she thought that this was a favored grandson of the Chu family, but she didn't expect it to be just a relative of Luo Su, which is sharp.
A relative of Nima also dares to play tricks on his mind here, is Chu Ying's vein too arrogant?
Who gave them the confidence?
When he turned around, he happened to see Chu Ying greeting Gu Shuo cordially and enthusiastically, and Chu Han said casually: "Brother Jue, do you like Chu Qian and Chu Ning? This is not very good, didn't it mean that the Gu family would not participate in the affairs of the Chu family?"
Brother Jue?
Gu Shuo's scalp was numb, his cheeks stiffened, and his nose was hot, was this little bastard seducing him in public?
Chu Hui, who was in the stairwell, almost slipped his foot and fell down the stairs.
