Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 612: My biological mother is the heroine of the stepmother novel (2)
Wu Chengyue still didn't come back that night. Wu Shichu and Chen Xue were used to it. After the mother and daughter had dinner and waited for a while to cool down, Chen Xue began to coax Wu Shichu to sleep.
Although Wu Shichu's soul was that of an adult, her body was that of a child. She could not resist her physiological conditions and soon felt sleepy, so she went to bed obediently.
But after she fell asleep, she was suddenly awakened by a loud banging on the door.
"Chen Xue! Chen Xue! Open the door for me quickly!" Wu Chengyue's drunken voice came from outside. He banged on the door and shouted at Chen Xue.
Wu Shichu was woken up by him and was very angry. As expected, this biological father was very unreliable. He came back drunk in the middle of the night. It would be better for him not to come back.
At this time, Chen Xue's disgusted voice sounded outside: "What are you arguing about? You woke up all the neighbors in the middle of the night, and you came back drunk like this, and my house is stinking up!"
"What did you say, you bitch? What do you mean your house? This is my home. Even if it stinks, it's my own house that's stinking up. What qualifications do you have to look down on me? If you don't want to live like this anymore, get out of my house!" Wu Chengyue shouted arrogantly.
Chen Xue was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head. Wu Chengyue's words made her embarrassed and sad. She gritted her teeth and said with tears in her eyes: "Okay! This is not my home! When the sun rises, hurry up and go with me to get a divorce certificate! I can't stand you anymore, I don't want to spend a day with you!"
Wu Chengyue was half drunk and half awake. When he heard his wife's disdainful words, he was immediately furious. He raised his hand and slapped her in the face: "It's okay, so what! Do you think I want to live with a tigress like you? You have a stern face all day long, as if I owe you 18 million. I have money, I can kick any young and beautiful woman you want, anyway, I'm tired of playing with you, a yellow-faced woman..."
"Wu Chengyue! I'm going to fight you!" Chen Xue was caught off guard and slapped in the face. She was shocked and angry, and immediately exploded like a lit firecracker. She jumped up and started fighting with Wu Chengyue.
Then for a while the house was filled with the sound of clanging, men's roars and women's screams.
Wu Shichu couldn't help but cover his ears with the quilt. He didn't want to interfere with the couple's fight. Neither of them was responsible parents. To her, their only role was probably to pay her child support.
The couple fought for more than ten minutes and finally stopped when they were tired. In the end, Chen Xue still viciously asked Wu Chengyue to divorce her the next day, and Wu Chengyue immediately agreed.
When Wu Shichu heard that they had finally quieted down, he fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next morning, she saw Chen Xue with bruises on the corners of her mouth.
"Chu Chu, are you awake? Get up quickly." Chen Xue forced a smile to Wu Shichu, pulled her up and helped her put on her clothes.
Wu Shichu refused to let her help wash her face and brush her teeth. After she came out after washing up, she found that Wu Chengyue was still at home. However, his face looked much more miserable than Chen Xue's. There were several scratches on his left cheek, his right eye was bruised, and there was a big bump on his forehead - it seemed that Chen Xue's fighting ability was still quite strong.
"Ahem..." Wu Chengyue cleared his throat and said to Wu Shichu, "Nannan, Dad is going to divorce your mom, who do you want to be with?"
"Of course you're with me! How could you be with your father who's not home for ten days or half a month?" Chen Xue said sarcastically.
"What's wrong with not being at home? I can hire a nanny to take care of my daughter. I have money anyway!" Wu Chengyue said unconvinced.
"What's the big deal about having a few bucks? You've never cared about our daughter, and now you want to snatch custody from me? Are you deliberately trying to make my life difficult?" Chen Xue was angry again. She was obviously a gentle and good-tempered woman, but she couldn't help getting angry when she met Wu Chengyue.
"So what?" Wu Chengyue slammed the table and shouted louder, "I can afford to raise a daughter, but she will have a hard time if she follows you. Those people in your family are not good people, they will definitely bully our daughter. I can't let her go with you."
"Mr. Wu, what's wrong with my maternal family? They are much more responsible than your biological father. What qualifications do you have to say bad things about them?" When Chen Xue heard that he was actually talking about her maternal family, she immediately became angry and started arguing with Wu Chengyue.
Wu Shichu slowly finished eating an egg before saying to the two people who were quarreling like fighting cocks, "Mom and Dad, I've made up my mind. I want to follow Dad."
"What? Chu Chu, why did you choose your father? Have you forgotten how he treated you? He never cared about you or cared about you!" Chen Xue said in astonishment. She didn't expect that her daughter would actually choose Wu Chengyue instead of her.
"Haha, okay, although you are a little girl and can't carry on our family line, you are my biological child after all, and I won't treat you unfairly." When Wu Chengyue heard that his daughter chose him, he laughed with joy and glanced at the delicious Chen Xue with great pride.
Wu Shichu ignored him and said to Chen Xue, "Mom, I know you love me and care about me more than Dad. I love you just as much, but I can't choose you because you will have a hard time after your divorce. I can't be a burden to you and drag you down to remarry. Dad has money, so it won't affect me if he takes me with him, but it's different for you."
Chen Xue looked at her daughter's serious expression. She seemed to have grown up overnight. She spoke clearly and convincingly.
"Did you come up with this yourself?" Chen Xue's eyes were red. "How could you be a burden to mom? Mom doesn't think it will be difficult to take care of you. As long as we are together, mom is not afraid no matter how difficult it is..."
Wu Shichu really wanted to roll his eyes: Of course you are not afraid, because you are not the one who is suffering.
Wu Shichu believed that Chen Xue was a good mother who loved her daughter at this time. She had never thought of mistreating her biological daughter from beginning to end. However, she would have no choice after remarrying. After all, human energy is limited and the mentality will change. She would care more about her remarried husband and stepchildren, and then ignore her biological daughter, causing her daughter to die early.
Since Wu Shichu already knew the ending, how could he choose her like the original owner? Although Wu Chengyue was a scumbag father, it was good enough for him to hire a nanny to take care of her. After all, she was not a real child and needed the love of her parents.
"But I feel sorry for mom...Mom, it'll be fine for me to stay with dad. Dad will hire a nanny for me. If you miss me, you can come and see me." Wu Shichu said to Chen Xue with his "innocent and pure" eyes.
"Mom's dear daughter! How come you are so sensible?" Chen Xue hugged Wu Shichu and said with sobs.
Wu Shichu hugged Chen Xue back perfunctorily, but in fact she didn't have any good feelings towards Chen Xue in her heart. Although this woman claimed that she loved her daughter, such feelings would soon be transferred to her stepson. So even if she acted sad at this moment, Wu Shichu would not feel anything. It was just because of her age and status that she had to put on a show.
