Chapter 331: The Rise and Fall of the Chu Family
When Chu Chen and Wu Ran appeared in the ancestral hall, only Li Shaojing, who was still kneeling in place, and Mu Ziqi and Ye Xiaodan, who were standing next to them, were left in the ancestral hall.
Wu Ran saw Ye Xiaodan's existence first, "Xiaoqi, this kid is ......"
Ye Xiaodan's eyebrows and eyes have too many similarities with Li Shaojing, and a clear-eyed person can see Ye Xiaodan's identity at a glance.
He can't be Xiao Jing who picked up an orphan from the scene of the car accident, right? After all, the two of them look so similar.
Mu Ziqi also smelled a hint of something strange from Fang Cai Chu Lao's questioning, "Auntie, you still want to ask Shaojing." ”
She didn't know Ye Xiaodan's background at all, and it wasn't until she noticed that Xiaodan and Mr. Li's similar side faces did he suddenly realize.
Why would Mr. Li, who has always been cold and ruthless, agree to adopt Xiaodan? There is no other reason, because Xiaoshan is his son, so he agreed with Ye Min's opinion and adopted Ye Xiaodan.
Or in other words, from the very beginning, Ye Xiaodan was raised by Mr. Li from Ye Min, an old friend. When the time is right, he will adopt Xiaoshan back again.
Mu Ziqi didn't understand why their ridiculous wedding was over, so Mr. Li took Xiaoshan back, perhaps, he just needed a woman who raised Xiaodan, a family environment that allowed him to enjoy complete fatherly and maternal love.
As Ye Xiaodan's legal guardian, Mr. Li certainly has to consider the influence of the family on a child who has lived in a single-parent family since childhood.
"Xiaojing?"
Chu Chen came to the ancestral hall because he heard that the girl was called back from abroad by his father, so they hurried back from outside.
But unbeknownst to them, they pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and walked in, but what they saw was Li Shaojing kneeling on the pu mat.
There is no shadow of a good day at all, and the news they get may just be groundless.
Li Shaojing actually had such a big son outside, and anyone would be stunned.
Chu Jingheng snorted coldly, and the rattan was slammed to the ground by him. "Second child, you don't have to ask anymore! That stinky boy is his species, and there is no doubt that a mold carved out still needs to be asked! ”
Unless their eyes are blind, no matter how Li Shaojing hides it, this child's life experience will also come out.
Chu Chen looked at the obviously seven or eight-year-old child in disbelief, if he was Xiao Jing's child, then ......
This child would not have been born to him and Mu Ziqi in any case, because according to the results of his father's investigation, he and Mu Ziqi had no intersection seven or eight years ago, let alone have a child.
"Xiao Jing, you are so disappointing!"
Xiao Jing is his sister's son, and everyone in the Chu family loves Li Shaojing as a junior of the Chu family, although he was mature and stable beyond his peers at a very young age, and he didn't need their favor for a long time.
But in their eyes, Li Shaojing will always be the poor child who needs their care and has lost his parents early.
They are inevitably negligent to their children, but they are all good to Li Shaojing.
Chu Chen scolded Li Shaojing, and then brushed his sleeves away.
Wu Ran stayed in the ancestral hall, and his eyes swept over Mu Ziqi and Ye Xiaodan, and he never left Chu Lao.
"Dad, I heard that Liangchen is back...... I wonder if it's true? ”
Wu Ran's attitude was extremely cautious when he asked about Chu Liangchen, which made Mu Ziqi even have an illusion. Chu Liangchen is a taboo in the Chu family, and not everyone can mention her existence.
Even Wu Ran, as Chu Liangchen's mother, even had vague scruples when he mentioned her.
Chu Jingheng snorted coldly, not looking at Wu Ran's expectant gaze, "That bastard dares to enter the Chu family!" Isn't she already dead, what are you doing with her now? ”
Wu Ran took a step back, and she felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
Chu Liangchen, Liangchen......
Her daughter has not returned to the Chu family for many years, let alone Huaxia.
The last time I secretly went abroad with Chu Chen to see her from afar, it was twelve years ago.
Since then, Dad has been strict and has changed Liangchen's residence to another place, and no one knows where she was arranged by her father, she only knows that she can't see her daughter, and maybe never see it for the rest of her life.
Mu Ziqi didn't know what kind of unknown past was hidden in it, but she could feel that her aunt's heart was really painful.
Her eyes were slightly red, and although she didn't say much, she could clearly feel the sourness in her heart.
The relationship between Liangchen and the Chu family doesn't seem to be so bad, at least, my aunt really hopes that Chu Liangchen will return to the Chu family.
Chu Jingheng saw that he couldn't teach the juniors today, but was repeatedly disturbed, so he angrily asked Lao Yu to help him out of the ancestral hall, and he didn't look back, let alone care about his heartbroken aunt.
When Mu Ziqi saw Chu Jingheng leave the ancestral hall, he immediately rushed over to support the crumbling Wu Ran.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
If it was related to Chu Liangchen, then she could no longer turn a blind eye.
Chu Liangchen had already returned to the Chu family, why did his grandfather hide it from his aunt and not let his aunt look at his woman?
Don't he understand that blood is thicker than water?
How long has it been since Chu Liangchen has seen her own biological mother? Could it be that my grandfather's heart was made of stone?
"Mrs. Li, you are too lenient. Today's account master will go back and settle accounts with you, you take this stinky boy back to Nanyuan first. ”
Mu Ziqi almost leaked Chu Liangchen's existence, and when Li Shaojing saw this, he immediately stood up from the pouch mat and covered her little mouth that was almost in trouble.
She really thought that her aunt was missing Chu Liangchen too much to show this look?
She still doesn't understand the true meaning of words and looks, let alone this.
Wu Ran watched with his own eyes that the opportunity to get Chu Liangchen's whereabouts slipped away from his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.
"Xiao Jing, my aunt usually loves you a lot!"
"Yes, my aunt and uncle treat me like their own."
Even if Emperor Shao is indifferent and cold-blooded and cold-hearted on weekdays, but in the face of the Chu family, his heart is rarely hot.
With a warm temperature, that is the attitude that Li Shaojing only showed when facing his family.
Wu Ran glanced at him coldly, "In that case, why did you lie to me and your uncle with your father?" Don't think I don't know, Liangchen has returned to China, and he was secretly taken back to the Chu family by his father. ”
This news can't be fake, thinking about it, and seeing the empty pu mat next to Li Shaojing, Wu Ran is even more convinced of this.
Did Dad simply punish Liangchen and kneel for a while and forgive her?
Why? Did she really think that her kneeling was of such great value!
"Mrs. Li, aren't you leaving?"
Mu Ziqi kept supporting Ye Xiaodan and eavesdropping with his ears on the side, wanting to know what Chu Liangchen had done in the Chu family and why his aunt and uncle were so worried.
and grandfather, why did he have this attitude as soon as he came back, as if he wanted to make Chu Liangchen admit his mistake.
But what kind of mistake did he have to admit in the end, and in the end, Mu Ziqi didn't hear the reason.
However, her grandfather's attitude towards her is very clear, Mu Ziqi knows that her grandfather is her greatest help, if she wants to divorce Mr. Li, then she only needs to reach an alliance with her grandfather while Mr. Li is away.
Since my grandfather so much hopes that her marriage to Mr. Li will be invalid, then of course she wants to fulfill his old man's family.
Mu Ziqi was calculating how to divorce Mr. Li peacefully, and Mr. Li was calculating how to let Chu Liangchen return to the Chu family.
After all, the past is in the past.
The deceased is gone, and it doesn't make much sense to hold them accountable now.
"Xiao Jing, if that child is really your son, you should be able to understand the feeling of being a father. What would you think if one day he suddenly had an accident? Will you make the person who hurt him pay the price he deserves! ”
"However, she is Chu Liangchen."
Li Shaojing did not forget to remind Wu Ran that the person who harmed people in her mouth was her biological daughter, Chu Liangchen.
Chu Liangchen is also her biological daughter, no matter what choice she makes, the last person she hurts is herself.
Wu Ran seemed to fall into madness in an instant, and her mind was full of the child's blood-covered appearance.
"No, I'll never forgive her! If you still think that we are your uncle and aunt, then don't look at her anymore, sooner or later, we will make her pay! ”
Even if Chu Liangchen was their biological daughter, they couldn't tolerate her killing her biological son.
Li Shaojing looked at Wu Ran, who had fallen into madness, expressionlessly, and a touch of pity flashed under his deep eyes.
The Chu family is beautiful on the surface, but how many people know the sadness behind the scenery?
Wu Ran went to the ancestral hall and pounced, and he didn't ask for any useful news from Li Shaojing, so he had to go home with nothing.
Li Shaojing stood tall and jade, standing alone in the empty main hall of the ancestral hall.
The tablets of the successive heads of the Chu family record the prosperity of the Chu family over the past hundred years, and also record the hard work of several generations of the Chu family.
He suddenly understood why his grandfather was so partial to Chu Liangchen.
After all, the Chu family has passed down to their generation, and it is no longer flourishing.
Chu Chen and Wu Ran originally had a son and a daughter, but because of that bizarre accident, their beloved son passed away, and their beloved daughter was forced to be expelled from the Chu family and lived in seclusion abroad all the year round.
Chu Hong and Han Jiaxi have only one son, but they have no intention of inheriting the Chu family's family business and becoming the next head of the family.
As for Chu Xu and Wang Pei, they have not come out of anything. A while ago, I had no choice but to adopt the orphans brought back by Li Shaojing.
The Chu family will be cut off from his grandfather's hands sooner or later.
Grandpa was worried that the descendants of the Chu family were withering, so he forgave Chu Liangchen for his mistakes.
If it weren't for the last resort, Grandpa Da could have taken Chu Liangchen back more than ten years ago, instead of showing his intention to forgive her now.
The older my grandfather gets, the more things he thinks about.
The older he gets, the more he is afraid that when he dies, the Chu family will not even have anyone to take over, and they will be defeated.
