Chapter 380 - 380: Untitled
Bai Dong stepped up to smooth things over. “It’s just a quarrel between children. It’s not a big deal. Don’t hurt the harmony. Yichen, you too. Stop scaring Enxuan. He’s just a child.”
Chu Yichen picked up Baobao in cold silence and carried her to the dining room.
Bai Dong also felt a headache coming on when she saw the children at loggerheads.
Chu Yan’s icy gaze fell on Baobao. She had just found out that the child adopted by the Chu family was actually the one who had beaten up her grandson!
Baobao was a little scared by her gaze and hid in Chu Yichen’s arms.”Daddy, she’s so fierce.’
Chu Yichen moved the child so that she wasn’t facing the woman.
After dinner, he wanted to bring Baobao upstairs but was stopped by his aunt. To avoid the child hearing anything unpleasant, Chu Yichen asked the servant to bring Baobao out to play.
“Yichen! I watched you grow up. When you were young, I gave you all my love.
Now, you treat me this way because of an outsider. Have you no conscience! And my good brother, your son has forgotten. Have you forgotten too?” She turned to Chu Zhenting.
Chu Zhenting closed his eyes. Previously, his sister had a lover. The two of them had arranged to elope, but because he was kidnapped and she tried to rescue him, her plans were foiled. She even suffered a disability for many years, and finally married someone she didn’t love.
Every time he thought of these things, he felt extremely guilty. This was also the reason why his family had indulged the Jin family for so many years. He wanted to make up for it. “Sis, what happened back then is history. Don’t mention it anymore. Let it go.”
“My grandson was beaten up, and you’ve acknowledged the aggressor as your granddaughter. How can I get over it? Now that you live a blissful life, why don’t you think about what kind of life I’m living!”
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting were exasperated. This exact scene replayed itself every year, but because of the adoption, it was especially prickly this year.
Chu Yichen could not stand it anymore. “Auntie, if you had really eloped with that person back then, would you be living a happy life? Not necessarily so!”
“The man you loved was antisocial, extreme, egoistic, and expected you to take care of him. He was useless! Are you sure you would have been happy with someone like that?” He was extremely sarcastic. He didn’t want to make it sound so unpleasant, but she had always put the blame on his parents. It was unbearable. “Moreover, you had even given that man half of the assets that Grandfather gave you, but he never came back. Is this the sort of man worth a lifetime of reminiscence? Who knows, he might be spending your money on some other women overseas. He might not even remember your surname, and you’re harboring a lifetime of regrets over him.”
“Enough! Shut up! Whatever it is, I’m better off than you, liking a woman who is a mother, and even bringing her child back to the Chu family. Do you take us for fools? The Chu family will never accept such a woman. As long as your parents and I are still around, don’t even dream about marrying her!”
Chu Yan’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. In the past, she was also a high and mighty princess, but she had fallen to her current state. She looked extremely haggard and much older than her peers. It was all for the Chu family!
Upon hearing Chu Yan’s words, Bai Dong was shocked. “Yichen, you like Baobao’s mother? Is that why you want to adopt this child? If that’s the case, we can’t accept it!”
“Yes!” Chu Yichen admitted without reservation.
Having broken the truth to her brother and sister-in-law, Chu Yan sneered! She had achieved her goal for coming here tonight!
