Chapter 47 A loving father and a filial son
This weekend was Miss Meng's birthday party.
Chu Sheng was wearing a burgundy suit, which perfectly outlined his tall and slender figure. This man didn't need to do anything; just standing there with his charming eyes and a smile was enough to make him incredibly captivating.
It looks like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Chu Xiang had just come downstairs when she saw the flamboyant Chu Sheng. She paused, her expression indescribable.
Chu Sheng struck a pose that he considered incredibly dashing, and said with self-satisfaction, "How about it, Xiangxiang? Daddy won't embarrass you by going to your friend's birthday party with you, right?"
Chu Xiang's entire being screamed in rejection, "I don't want to."
Chu Sheng laughed and said, "I know, I know. You're worried that your dad is too handsome and someone else will take him away. Xiangxiang, don't worry, no one will take your dad away."
Chu Xiang raised her hand and pushed away her father, who was leaning in to hug her. Her face was full of disgust. "I don't want you to come with me!"
Chu Sheng was rejected by his daughter's loving hug, and a hurt look appeared on his overly handsome and perfect face. "If you don't want your father to go with you, who else can you go with?"
Just then, a lively voice came from the doorway: "Sis, I'm home!"
A boy in a school uniform ran in from outside. His white short-sleeved T-shirt had the school badge printed on it. His school uniform trousers were loose, but they couldn't hide his long legs. With each step he took in his white sneakers, he exuded youth.
Chu Huai casually tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa, shoving away the obstructive Chu Sheng. His young and handsome face beamed with a bright smile as he took Chu Xiang's hand and asked enthusiastically, "Sis, where are you taking me today?"
Chu Huai has gotten quite tanned, but his wheat-colored skin makes him look even more energetic and healthy, full of vitality. He likes playing ball, and I guess he's been playing a lot of ball with his classmates at school lately.
Chu Huai and Chu Xiang look very alike when they smile, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of the feeling they evoke – both are full of vibrant and energetic spirit.
Chu Xiang pulled out a tissue to wipe Chu Huai's sweat. "It's my friend's birthday party. You're coming with me. Go take a shower and change your clothes. We'll leave in a bit."
Chu Huai nodded, "Okay, I understand."
He is currently a senior in high school, a time of intense study. He only gets half a day off on Sunday afternoons each week. As soon as he heard that Chu Xiang was going to take him out to play, he rushed home as soon as school was over today.
The more Chu Sheng looked at Chu Huai, the more hurt he felt. He pulled out a tissue to wipe his eyes and said aggrievedly, as if he was about to cry, "Xiangxiang, don't you love your father anymore? You would rather take this simple-minded, physically strong, and not even one ten-thousandth of my good looks to the banquet than take me to make you look good."
Chu Huai immediately became displeased. "Old man Chu, don't you know how old you are? You're still wearing all red! You apply face masks and get beauty treatments every day, but you can't save your increasingly sagging skin. You're already old and faded, and you still want to compare yourself with me?"
Chu Sheng's eyelids twitched. He told himself not to get angry, because getting angry would make him age faster. However, looking at his unfilial son, whose face resembled his own, he couldn't help but use his money. "Chu Huai, your allowance will be halved from now on."
Chu Huai didn't seem to care. "It's okay, my mom gives me pocket money every month."
Chu Sheng was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Chu Huai went back to his room to shower and change, while Chu Xiang sat on the sofa in the living room waiting. Chu Sheng seemed unwilling to give up, and he smiled perfectly, "Xiangxiang, are you really not going to consider having someone else accompany you to the banquet?"
Chu Xiang lay on the sofa playing on her phone without looking up. "I'm not considering it."
Wherever Chu Sheng is, he is always the most dazzling oddball in the crowd. This is because Chu Sheng is too good-looking and too shameless. It is said that when he was young, he even dressed up as a woman and became a great beauty, bewitching many men.
Chu Sheng has no sense of morality and loves to watch the drama unfold. If he were brought to Meng Qiyue's birthday party, he would most likely become the center of attention and steal the spotlight from Meng Qiyue, who is the main character.
Although Chu Xiang can be immoral at times, at least she has some conscience. A young girl only has one coming-of-age ceremony in her life, and it can't be ruined by some monsters and demons.
Chu Sheng was hurt by Chu Xiang's merciless rejection. He clutched his chest as if holding a heart that was about to shatter into pieces. "I'm so heartbroken. Neither my daughter nor my son likes me."
Chu Xiang was drawing cards, but she didn't get a single five-star card after ten draws. She thought to herself that it was bad luck and ignored Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng glanced at Chu Xiang a few times, then casually asked, "Does your mother keep in touch with you often? I heard from the brat that she's still giving you pocket money."
Chu Xiang replied casually, "We contact our mother almost every week."
"Oh," Chu Sheng said casually, "I heard she recently went to a primeval forest to do some research. That kind of place must be quite dangerous."
Chu Xiang: "My mom is almost seducing the chief's son, what danger could there be?"
Chu Sheng sat up straight. "The chief's son?"
Chu Huai changed his clothes and came downstairs. Chu Xiang didn't say anything more to Chu Sheng, not even goodbye. She took Chu Huai out the door.
Chu Sheng leaned back in his sofa chair for a long while. After a long time, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, which was as beautiful as a demon. "The chief's son, isn't that just a savage?"
Is that woman crazy?
On the way to the Meng family's house, Chu Huai couldn't help but tell Chu Xiang about what had happened recently. When he mentioned that a transfer student had joined their class, Chu Xiang was slightly surprised. "You're all about to take the college entrance exam, and a transfer student comes at this time?"
Chu Huai nodded, "Yes, he usually doesn't play with us or talk to us. I heard from other people that he used to live in a small mountain village, and I think he was from an ethnic minority. But we've seen him being picked up by luxury cars a few times, so we're all wondering if he's someone's illegitimate child."
Illegitimate children are quite common in the entertainment industry. Even if they are not born in wedlock, they can still inherit property once they are born. Therefore, some people are willing to be mistresses and have children for a big shot, so that at least they will have security for the rest of their lives.
When the topic of illegitimate children came up, Chu Huai started to worry again, "Old Man Chu is so promiscuous outside, I wonder if he's had any illegitimate children. But you don't need to worry, Sister."
Chu Huai smiled brightly and said, "If there really are any illegitimate children who want to fight us for the family property, I'll put them all in cement buckets and throw them into the sea. I guarantee you won't even be able to find their bodies."
