Chapter 349 Just Being Stubborn
He didn't learn much else from following Lin Anyuan all these years, but he did learn a little something.
When others call you a beast, accept it calmly.
Born of beasts, isn't that just beastly?
Why bother with saving face? It can't put food on the table.
Lord Wen looked at Chu Xiujie, and seeing his nonchalant attitude, his face stung with pain.
Suddenly, without saying a word, he turned and left.
He was able to drag his whole family down to hell back then, so why would he acknowledge him as his biological father now? No matter what he does, it's impossible for him to do so.
He really listened to that woman Jiang and came here to humiliate himself.
"master?"
After he left, Jiang, her hair disheveled, glanced at Chu Xiujie, moved her lips, but didn't say a word.
This wretched child was born to collect debts.
Chu Xiujie smiled and looked at Jiang Dalang and Madam Gong, "Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, it's fortunate that you were there just now. You managed to get rid of this freeloader."
"Hey, why are you being so polite? You really gave me a good beating."
As Gong spoke, she bent down to pick up the jewelry on the ground. It was all gold, including the jewelry that belonged to Jiang earlier.
How could someone be so wealthy as to freeload? So what exactly is the relationship between those two people and this Lord Chu?
Before she could even ask, Da Ya looked at the two of them and said, "You two go back first. I'll have someone find the best doctor in Yangzhou to treat your injuries."
Jiang Dalang glanced at Chu Xiujie and smiled sincerely, "Alright, alright, you two talk things over. Be sure to talk things over properly and don't hurt our harmony. You might still be family in the future."
It was obvious that he wanted to put Daya in Chu Xiujie's bed tonight.
After the person left, Da Ya glanced at Chu Xiujie.
"Don't be sad, I still have a packet of tea, I'll bring it to you later."
Clearly, this person's parents weren't much better off than hers.
"I never thought I'd have this good fortune, it's worth it!" Chu Xiujie said with a light laugh. "What's there to be sad about? I was born with few relatives and friends. Maybe I did something terrible in my past life, like murder or arson, that's why I didn't have good parents in this life."
Da Ya looked at Chu Xiujie, for the first time really seriously.
Her gaze was too direct, making Chu Xiujie very uncomfortable.
What happened? Did he have some vegetable leaves in his teeth?
In the end, Chu Xiujie practically fled in panic.
After returning, I felt ashamed that I was so pathetic, actually feeling embarrassed by a little girl's gaze.
Chu Jiu grinned and came over, "Boss, just tell the brothers the truth, have you taken a fancy to Miss Lin?"
He watched the whole thing unfold, seeing everything clearly.
"Pfft..." Chu Xiujie was drinking tea when he suddenly spat it out.
Chu Shi: "Such a strong reaction, it seems I was right."
Chu Xiujie put down his teacup, speechless. "What nonsense are you all spouting? Am I an animal? How could I lay a hand on such a young girl?"
Chu Jiu, "Didn't you just call me a beast? Now you're denying it?"
Chu Shi said, "You've already given away all of Eleven. Doesn't that show your true feelings? We brothers have been through thick and thin together for so many years. We're not born of the same parents, but we're closer than if we were. You've given away all your brothers, and you're still here denying it. All you're good for is being stubborn!"
Chu Wu said, "Boss, you should see your own heart clearly sooner rather than later. Stop pretending. The brothers are all worried about you."
"Fine, fine, I can't out-argue you guys with just one mouth. You're not allowed to steal any of my tea!"
After saying that, Chu Xiujie grabbed the tea leaves and ran off.
The others scoffed and dispersed.
That night, perhaps because he had drunk too much tea, Chu Xiujie couldn't sleep at all.
The next morning, he rushed to Da Ya to fawn over her.
After Da Ya returned home yesterday, she asked Gou San to call his wife, Zhu Shi.
"This must be the young lady. This humble woman greets the young lady."
Zhu was a woman who still retained her charm. At first glance, she wasn't particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, she was quite alluring.
She was a widow before, but after Gou San became her advisor, she started living with him properly. The two had been married for some time now.
Da Ya raised her hand, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so formal. Just call me Miss."
Given her current status and position, there's no need for her to get up and greet us.
"Young lady." Madam Zhu said, pulling a little girl along.
Da Ya glanced at the little girl a couple more times; she was so neatly dressed. "Is this your sister-in-law's daughter?"
"Yes, little girl. When I was about to go out today, she insisted on coming along to broaden her horizons. She cried and made a fuss, so I brought her along. Please don't be offended, young lady," Zhu explained.
"Or take after your sister-in-law, she looks good." Daya brought a bunch of pearl flowers for the little girl to wear.
Zhu was overjoyed and hurriedly pledged her loyalty to everyone, saying, "Now my husband works under Miss Zhu. If Miss Zhu needs anything, just tell me, and I will do my best to help."
She knew a few characters, and the phrase "I will not hesitate to do anything" was something Gou San often said.
"I have some personal matters I'd like to ask..." Da Ya hesitated to speak.
She had a maid take Zhu's daughter to the back for some snacks before quietly revealing her thoughts.
She has taken a liking to Chu Xiujie.
Now that I'm getting older, my mother says that opportunities are earned, and if you see something you like, you should take the initiative and not always be passive.
Zhu was surprised for a moment, then quickly recovered and whispered her advice to Daya, "...Young lady. All you need to do in this matter is...To put it bluntly, men, frankly speaking, are all shameless..."
"Try my method, and I guarantee he'll be itching to get back to work."
After listening, Daya blushed and took a sip of tea. Zhu also taught her many other things.
No wonder he can take down someone like Gou San so easily; he's got some skills.
Da Ya didn't mean to look down on Zhu Shi; she just felt that everyone has their own wisdom.
When Zhu left, Daya gave her some things, but no money. Most of them were for the children, which was enough to make Zhu happy.
She had always been supported by men, so she was naturally happy to be able to earn some money on her own.
She said that if Daya had any questions later, she could ask her, as she was very tight-lipped and would never reveal a single word.
Chu Xiujie came to find Daya and happened to see Zhu Shi going out.
Zhu glanced at him and knew immediately that this was the person in question.
She thought to herself, "This man is truly blessed; he must have saved the young lady's life."
Chu Xiujie really did save a life.
He came here now because Chu Shi had found out something.
As soon as I entered the door, I was completely stunned.
The glass tiger in my hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"Lord Chu, why didn't you knock before you came in?"
