Chapter 171 Being Slapped in the Face

After Zhou Chen sat down, he did not ask any questions, as if he was waiting for them to speak first.

Chen Ru was a little embarrassed and seemed to have difficulty speaking, but because there were outsiders around, she had an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Until Gu Wushuang was full and put down his chopsticks, "Come over and join in the fun?"

Xu Ge looked at her without saying anything. She didn't want to get close to see Chen Ru's expression.

She felt that her situation had reached its peak. Knowing what Chen Ru had done to her, she was able to face Chen Ru calmly without even questioning her.

That was because as early as the year she first arrived at the Zhou family, no matter how she tried to please Chen Ru, she could not get her favor. After day after day of disgust, she no longer regarded Chen Ru as a relative.

A person who is not important to you is a stranger.

So, during those years, when Chen Ru barked at her from time to time, she just treated her as a mad dog.

Before she could say anything, Gu Wushuang excitedly pulled her up from the chair.

The two of them sat directly on the sofa, staring straight at the mother and daughter opposite them, their eyes seeming to urge them.

Chen Ru's face turned pale instantly. She looked so aggrieved as she wanted to explode but didn't dare to.

She could make things difficult for Xu Ge and ridicule him, after all, Xu Ge was the younger generation and she was the elder.

But Gu Wushuang is not qualified, either in terms of her background or status.

Chen Ru pulled the corners of her lips together and gave a dry laugh. "Miss Gu, what are you doing?"

Gu Wushuang shrugged. "Mrs. Zhou, didn't you say you had something to talk to Zhou Chen about? If you have something, just say it quickly. We are all family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Chen Ru's eyes widened at the words, and she said with a forced smile, "What's going on with you guys?"

She is not in a hurry, so why should this person be in a hurry?

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Every one of them is an annoying thing.

Although she thought so in her heart, Chen Ru didn't dare to show it at all because Zhou Chen was right in front of her.

"Yeah, we're going out to see a movie soon. It's going to start in half an hour, so why not go now?"

Chen Ru felt a pang of pain in her heart as she pushed against her.

"You three are going to the movies together?" But she still thought that such a thing was simply shocking.

Gu Wushuang, however, took Xu Ge's arm more intimately, smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's go together."

Chen Ru took a deep breath and seemed to be unable to hold back from saying something, but before she could open her mouth, her daughter beside her pulled her clothes.

Chen Ru finally managed to hold it back, looked away without worrying about it, and finally looked at Zhou Chen.

"That Ah Chen, it's not his fault for what happened to Zimo. He really didn't know that guy was so bold. He was also a victim..."

Having said that, Chen Ru licked the corner of her lips and said with a flattering look.

"Dad is really mad right now. Why don't you go talk to him? Can you please not let Zimo go abroad?"

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, nor did he express any opinion. He just gently twisted his joints, as if he was thinking.

This made Chen Ru a little uneasy. She couldn't help but look at Zhou Siyu, feeling very nervous.

Seeing this, Chen Siyu could only muster up the courage to speak in a low voice.

"Uncle, please ask Grandpa for mercy. Africa is too dangerous. What if something unexpected happens? What will happen to my parents? Grandpa will definitely not be able to bear it..."

Zhou Chen seemed to look at her before saying, "Africa is not peaceful."

Chen Ru quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's too dangerous..."

"As long as he stays at the head office and doesn't run around, I guarantee nothing will happen to him."

Chen Ru was stunned when she heard this, and then she said anxiously, "Achen, Zimo is your nephew. Can you really bear to let him suffer in a place like Africa?"

Gu Wushuang couldn't help but speak directly after hearing this.

"Mrs. Zhou, isn't that right?"

Chen Ru was about to say "What's it to you?" but when she thought about the relationship between the two, she had to control her temper and tried to decide whether to laugh or not. The look in her eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.

"What does Miss Gu mean by this?"

Gu Wushuang shrugged. "Even a child knows that if you do something wrong, you must be punished. Although Zimo didn't kill this man, he died tragically because of him. You have to admit that, right?"

"I..." Chen Ru couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the photos she had seen before.

It is said that the girl is pregnant with a boy and is already nine months pregnant.

Thinking about it, Chen Ru still felt a little regretful.

"Yes, legally, this has nothing to do with him. After all, he didn't kill the girl. But morally, don't you feel any guilt? If you didn't want to have a result with the girl, why did you get her pregnant?"

Chen Ru suddenly felt ashamed. If this matter was brought up, they would be unreasonable.

"Besides, even if it means letting her go to Africa for a year to train, it's a good thing. It will prevent her from making the same mistake again in the future. Grandpa Zhou has good intentions. I think his decision is wise. I've often heard my grandfather and father say that Grandpa Zhou is a very upright man."

"You..." Chen Ru was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She could only turn and look at Zhou Chen, her eyes full of eagerness and expectation.

"Besides, when Xiaoge made a mistake, he stayed in Country M for several years. Although your son went

It's Africa, there are a lot of people waiting on you, what are you worried about?"

Chen Siyu couldn't help but glared at Gu Wushuang when she heard this.

"Can it be the same?"

Gu Wushuang shrugged and sneered, "What's the difference?"

"What's the same?" Zhou Siyu stared at Gu Wushuang. She really hated this woman. She deserved to be able to make friends with someone like Xu Ge. It turned out that they were the same kind of people and neither of them was a good person.

"Then Miss Zhou, what's different? Xiaoge was young and drunk at the time, but that wasn't illegal, was it? No one died, was it? It's just a moral issue at best. He's been exiled for four years. Your son indirectly caused two deaths, and he's only exiled for one year. How is that different? I think one year is too short. Let's make it four years..."

Chen Ru's face immediately turned green when she heard this. She couldn't help but say, "Miss Gu, this is our Zhou family's family affair. It seems that you are not qualified to make decisions now, right?"

"Really? But Zhou Chen and I are going back to North City to see my family next week."

Chen Ru was suddenly choked speechless, and Zhou Siyu couldn't help but open her eyes wide, her gaze moving back and forth between the faces of several people.

I didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

Why hasn’t Sister Chi Yan come back yet?

She really doesn't want to call Gu Wushuang "Auntie" now!

After Zhou Chen sat down, he did not ask any questions, as if he was waiting for them to speak first.

Chen Ru was a little embarrassed and seemed to have difficulty speaking, but because there were outsiders around, she had an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chen Ru was about to say "what's your business" but when she thought about the relationship between the two, she could only hold back her temper.

She didn't want to laugh, but the look in her eyes made her look like she was about to spit fire.
