Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: Ungrateful to Family
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their head to see a tall man walking through the door.
The man looked a bit like Chu Cimo and Chu Cichen, but with a somewhat sinister appearance. His skin was even paler, looking like a shade-loving plant that hid from the sun all day long.
This person was someone Shen Ruojing had met before. It was Chu Ciyuan, the illegitimate son of the Chu family!
Seeing Chu Ciyuan, Chu Cimo was stunned and Song Chen frowned. “What are you doing here?’
“To fetch my mother,” Chu Ciyuan spoke succinctly. “Over the years, I’ve never taken any money from the Chu family. I’ve earned my own money and bought my own house, enough to support my mother. We don’t need to rely on the in-law’s family for food and shelter. So, shouldn’t I have the right to take my mother away?’
Song Chen narrowed his eyes.
Chu Cimo stared at Chu Ciyuan, clenching his jaw.
However, after a long while, Chu Cimo stood up and said, “That’s right, my second brother is also my brother! He is my mother’s son! Even though he is an illegitimate child of the family, he has always been registered under my mother’s name. Elder brother, you say I have no prospects, but my second brother must have some, right?”
At this moment, these brothers, who grew up together but had been at odds ever since they were little, unexpectedly united.
Song Chen stared at the two for a long time before sneering. “Fine, you can take your mother away, but you’re not allowed to take anything from the Chu family!’
After saying this, he waved his hand toward the people upstairs.
Shen Ruojing looked up and noticed that the two security guards watching over Matriarch Chu’s room were somewhat unfamiliar and didn’t seem like people who worked for the Chu family.
Having lived in the Chu Manor for a while, she was familiar with the security guards who exercised every morning during her Tai Chi routine. These two strangers were clearly new.
The two men obeyed Song Chen’s words and opened the door upon his signal.
After the door was opened, Matriarch Chu walked out.
At this moment, her eyes were red, and it was clear that she had heard the conversation downstairs.
She looked at Chu Ciyuan.
She had never expected that her good-for-nothing son would come to save her at this moment!
Matriarch Chu began to speak, “I won’t leave. He didn’t do anything to me, you guys.. ”
Before she could finish, Chu Ciyuan impatiently said, “Just leave when you’re told to. I don’t want you locked up either. My current living conditions may not be as luxurious as here, but it’s not terrible either. What? You can’t bear to part with the wealth and honor here? Or is it that you can’t part with your precious eldest son?”
Matriarch Chu had long since been accustomed to Chu Ciyuan’s sharp-tongued speech.
Chu Cimo wanted to retort but held back after thinking it over.
Seeing Chu Ciyuan’s awkward expression, Matriarch Chu suddenly laughed.
“Fine, I’ll go with you and enjoy my second son’s care in my old age!”
Hearing the words ‘second son,’ Chu Ciyuan’s face instantly turned red.
He glared at Song Chen with an awkward expression before he coldly said to Matriarch Chu, ‘Then let’s go now. I drove here, and you don’t need to bring anything. I may not have enough money to buy you luxury items, but I won’t let you go hungry!’
After saying that, he went upstairs, grabbed Matriarch Chu’s hand, and led her downstairs.
Matriarch Chu’s eyes were slightly red, and after going downstairs, she looked at Song Chen. Matriarch Chu didn’t understand why her relationship with her eldest son suddenly turned out like this. What happened to Chu Cichen?
However, she had always been a strong woman, so she just gave him a deep look and followed Chu Ciyuan and the others out of the door.
As soon as they left, Chu Cimo said, “Mother, what’s wrong with big brother?’
Matriarch Chu sighed. “It’s probably because Jingjing broke up with him, which irritated him and he vented his anger on us. Don’t blame your big brother. He has given so much to the family since he was born. It’s reasonable for him to have grievances now.”
Although she said this, there was a hint of loneliness on Matriarch Chu’s face.
Chu Cimo saw it and quickly held her arm. “Mother, it’s okay. When big brother comes to his senses, we’ll get him backin style. We’ll punish him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall!’
Matriarch Chu’s eyes reddened. “Alright. ‘
The group reached the parking lot, and Chu Ciyuan helped Matriarch Chu into the car.
Chu Cimo hesitated for a moment and didn’t get in, so Chu Ciyuan sneered. ‘What? You’d rather follow your wife to the Bai family and freeload, instead of seeing what I’ve achieved? Are you afraid you’ll feel inferior?”
Chu Cimo was immediately provoked. “How is that possible? I’m just worried about letting Mother go with you, so I want to see where you live in case you bully her!”
These two brothers were indeed stubborn. One clearly knew that the other was using reverse psychology but still falling for it, and the other was using reverse psychology, knowing that he was exposed but still refused to back down.
So, everyone got into the car.
Shen Ruojing, who was worried about Matriarch Chu, also followed in.
After some time, they arrived at a high-end residential area.
The housing prices in this area were around $50-60 million on average. Chu Ciyuan’s apartment was a 500-square-meter flat with seven or eight bedrooms. Although it couldn’t compare to the Chu Manor, it was still impressive that he could afford a place like this in the capital through his efforts.
When they entered, Chu Ciyuan immediately gave up the master bedroom for Matriarch Chu to live in.
They then all sat on the sofa with worried expressions. Bai Shanshan looked around, holding Chu Xiaoqi. Chu Xiaoqi then shouted, “Eldest uncle is bad.
Xiaoqi doesn’t like him anymore!”
Everyone immediately looked at Matriarch Chu.
Matriarch Chu’s face was haggard, and she didn’t sleep well the night before. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but say, ‘Xiaoqi, be good. Your uncle is just in a bad mood for the moment. He’ll come to his senses. ‘
After saying this, Matriarch Chu asked Shen Ruojing, “Jingjing, what’s going on between you and Cichen?”
Chu Cimo couldn’t help but ask, “Yeah, sister-in-law, I just heard that you two broke up? Why did you break up? My brother may be cold and not considerate enough, but he’s still a good person. Can’t you give him another chance?”
Bai Shanshan also held Shen Ruojing’s hand. “Sister-in-law, big brother is usually good. I don’t know what happened these past few days, but please forgive him.”
Shen Ruojing looked at the two of them and was about to say something when Chu Ciyuan suddenly looked at her and said sarcastically, “Women are really no good! Look at big brother, he is usually such a good person.. But because of a woman, he becomes ungrateful to his family!’
