Chapter 450 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (18)

When Liu Zongqiang brought his family back, Chen Shichu happened to be at home and had not gone out.

"Mom! I'm back..." Liu Zongqiang recognized Chen Shichu, who had become much younger and more fashionable. He immediately smiled and greeted her warmly, bringing with him a lot of bags.

"Mom, I'll bring the two kids back to see you." Zhao Shuwen also smiled brightly, holding one of her sons in each hand and teaching them to call grandma, "Call grandma now."

Liu Zixuan snorted and turned his head away without even looking at Chen Shichu, while Liu Zixuan obediently called her grandma and stared at Chen Shichu intently. He managed to hide the shock in his heart with great difficulty.

Grandma's appearance was completely different from her previous life. In her previous life, she was busy all day, tired and old, but now she was young and beautiful, with a white and smooth face without even a wrinkle. She was dressed fashionably and appropriately, even better than his mother's clothes, and she didn't look like a woman with a grandson at all.

Chen Shichu looked at his adopted son and daughter-in-law whose attitude towards him had changed drastically, as if the previous unpleasantness with her had never existed at all. His level of shamelessness was truly astonishing.

"What are you doing back?" Chen Shichu asked with a half-smile, "I don't need you to look at me. If you are really so filial, why didn't you pay any attention to me before?"

Liu Zongqiang's face froze, and he quickly said, "We were too busy before. I was busy at work, and Shuwen had to take care of two children. We were so busy all day that sometimes we just didn't have time to come back. Mom, this is our fault. No matter how busy we are, we should have asked for leave to come back and see you."

"Yes, yes, not only you, but also my parents who live in the same city. I haven't had time to visit them for a long time... This time, Zong Qiang finally got a leave, so I thought I had to come back to see you." Zhao Shuwen is a flexible person. Now that there is profit to be made, she will naturally coax Chen Shichu.

"By the way, these nutritional supplements are our little gifts. I hope you can take good care of your body. After all, you have worked hard for Zongqiang for most of your life." Zhao Shuwen said as she handed the gift in Liu Zongqiang's hand to Chen Shichu.

Chen Shichu did not accept it. This couple would not do anything without benefits. Now they gave her a little favor, but they were planning to get more from her.

From the moment she saw them appear here, she knew that these two people must have learned from some channel that her current business was booming, and they came back thinking about making a profit; if she was still the peasant woman with nothing, these two people would definitely not show up here, let alone come back with a lot of bags and children.

Zhao Shuwen put the gift on the table with a wry smile. Chen Shichu looked at them coldly. Even Liu Zongqiang had never returned to this hometown after graduating from college, and Zhao Shuwen had never set foot here before. Today was her first time here, so both of them were unfamiliar with this place. Gradually, they felt a little embarrassed when they were looked at by Chen Shichu.

"By the way, I am the owner of this house now. The house has been renovated. I thought it was impossible for you to come back here, so I didn't reserve a room for you. If you don't go back tonight, find a place to stay by yourselves. I won't keep you here." Chen Shichu looked at her watch. She had to go to the factory for something later and didn't have time to waste with them, so she said.

When Liu Zongqiang heard her words, his face instantly turned ugly. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Shuwen immediately pinched the soft flesh on his waist and said, "Okay, let's go to the town and find a hotel to stay in. I saw a hotel when I was coming back by car just now. We came back too abruptly, so it's normal that you didn't prepare a room for us."

Chen Shichu looked at Zhao Shuwen in surprise, feeling deeply moved. Zhao Shuwen was indeed a flexible person. Look, as long as she could gain something from her, she could endure any embarrassment. But Liu Zongqiang was not like that. He still habitually thought that she was still his hardworking and obedient mother. He wanted to lose his temper as soon as things didn't go his way, and almost forgot that he came back to please her.

"Then you go to town. I'm leaving home now. If you don't come back to the city tomorrow, you should go and pay tribute to your father. It's a pity that your father has never received tribute from you, his own son." Chen Shichu sneered.

Liu Zongqiang suddenly felt as if he was stripped naked in public and was extremely ashamed. He had indeed never come back to pay homage to his biological father, and he felt extremely embarrassed when Chen Shichu pointed this out.

Some people are like this. They can do a lot of shameless things, and it seems that as long as others don't say anything, they can pretend that they have never done it; however, if others say it, they can act ashamed, as if they really have some conscience and know shame.

In fact, if it was someone of lower status than him who said it, he would definitely be furious and resent the person who pointed out the fact. However, Chen Shichu was now the person he needed to please, so he could only endure it and act as if he was ashamed and knew his mistake in order to regain some goodwill.

"I, I'm too busy..." He said it in a lower and lower voice. Obviously, even he knew that this excuse was poor. If he was really busy, even if he couldn't come back to worship, couldn't he pay some money to buy some offerings and let his mother worship on his behalf? In fact, he just didn't care.

Zhao Shuwen was also very embarrassed and had nothing to say. At this time, Liu Zixuan, who didn't understand anything, suddenly shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry! I want to eat."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuwen looked at Chen Shichu, obviously wanting Chen Shichu to arrange food for them.

But would Chen Shichu care about them? Liu Zixuan was just like his parents, both of them were ungrateful and uncaring, and they were not worthy of her extra care.

So she said, "There's a restaurant in town." As she spoke, she gestured for them to leave.

"Grandma, are you my grandma?" At this time, Liu Zixuan suddenly raised his little head and looked at Chen Shichu in a baby voice, his eyes blinking, with a curious and innocent expression on his face. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a cute and lovable child.

Liu Zixuan had heard his parents talk about his grandmother becoming a successful township entrepreneur, so he naturally wanted to please her. So he acted like an innocent and cute child to win Chen Shichu's favor. He was different from his parents. His grandmother might not like her son and daughter-in-law, but she would be especially soft-hearted towards her young grandson. Wasn't it like this in her previous life? Liu Zixuan was very confident.

However, he guessed wrong. Chen Shichu was hard-hearted. He just gave him a half-smile and didn't even bother to say a word to him.

Liu Zixuan understood her mocking and disdainful look, and his face suddenly became hot and flushed. He obviously didn't expect that his flattery was ineffective.

"Leave quickly, my time is precious." Chen Shichu urged impatiently.

Liu Zongqiang and his family were driven out of the Chen family in disgrace. After Chen Shichu closed the door of his house, he didn't even look at them and went to the factory in a hurry.
