The above should depict two dragons circling and vying for the sun, but this one only has a single dragon.
Especially the sun at the very top, which wasn't painted on, but rather a touch of red that naturally appeared on the jade itself.
Exquisite craftsmanship, unparalleled beauty.
Chu Xiao thought to himself that this safety buckle must be worth a lot of money.
But before he could be happy for long, his phone rang.
It was the villa property management calling, saying that more than a dozen people had gathered at the gate, claiming to be relatives of the family who had come to collect a debt.
Chu Xiao remembered.
The news of his car purchase must have spread through Zhao Qian's ears; these relatives are here to claim his parents' inheritance.
His parents died under suspicious circumstances and did not leave a will. According to the law, his grandmother, aunt, and uncle, who are not related to him by blood, all have the right to inherit the estate.
But would Chu Xiao indulge them?
When his parents died, this group of people not only kicked him when he was down, but also emptied his house. Now they have the nerve to ask for money?
He and Mu Zhicheng drove back to the villa together.
From afar, he could see a group of menacing-looking people standing at the entrance of his villa.
Several people sat on stone stools, and some even stood on the edge of his carp pond, peering into the house.
Chu Xiao parked the car on the side of the road.
What are you doing?
The man shrank back in fright.
When he saw that it was Chu Xiao, his expression immediately changed.
"Tsk, Chu Xiao, you finally decided to come back? You made your grandma and aunt wait here for ages."
The man speaking was Chu Zhenyuan, Chu Zhenhe's younger brother and his father's third uncle, who was not related to him by blood.
Standing beside him were Chu Zhenhe's mother, Cao Shuiqin, and Chu Zhenhe's younger sister, Chu Yuanyin.
Other relatives, mostly Cao Shuiqin's brothers and sisters, were also sitting by the flower bed.
Seeing that Chu Xiao had taken so long to return, they immediately followed behind him, spitting as they spoke.
"Chu Xiao, you are still a member of the Chu family. If it weren't for Old Master Chu funding your father's schooling, providing for his food and clothing, and giving him money to start a company, would he have been able to amass such a large fortune?"
"That's right, my eldest sister didn't even have time for her own son back then, all to support your father's education. She's been ridiculed by outsiders for so many years. How can you be so ungrateful?"
"And then there's Zhenhe. He's been suppressed by your father for so many years, yet he's been forgiven for his past actions and single-handedly supported the Chu family. You don't even thank him, but how can you go and cause trouble at the company?"
The aunts and uncles complained, while Cao Shuiqin clung to Aunt Chu Xiao's arm and pretended to cry.
"Alright, all of you, stop talking about Xiao Xiao. He just lost his parents, so I understand he's upset..."
Seeing this, Mu Zhicheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, I thought it was someone else, but I didn't expect it to be you. What's wrong? The whole clan is rushing to live and die together. Perfect, we can send you all to the police station! Trespassing on private property, you'll have to stay in jail for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuiqin's face darkened so much it seemed like water could drip from it.
"Mu Zhicheng, you're nothing but Chu Zhenlong's dog. We're dealing with the Chu family's private affairs. What does it have to do with an outsider like you?"
Looking at Chu Xiao, her voice grew even colder: "Chu Xiao, do you even respect me as your grandmother?"
"Who do you think you are, grandma?" Chu Xiao was not afraid at all.
Cao Shuiqin's expression changed.
Something's not right!
Chu Xiao used to be a playboy who was not favored by Chu Zhenlong.
When her grandmother yelled, Chu Xiao didn't dare to talk back at all.
How dare you turn against her now?
"Chu Xiao, what do you mean by this? If I hadn't asked the old man to give your father 300,000 yuan to start a company back then, would your father be where he is today?"
Chu Xiao laughed angrily: "Three hundred thousand? Grandpa clearly wanted to give my dad one million back then. It was you who threatened to kill yourself and forced me to sign a huge loan agreement, forcing my dad to kneel down, before you gave him three hundred thousand!"
