Noticing his son's anger, Lao Chu hurriedly said, "Son, don't be angry. I think your aunt's suggestion is very good."
Chu Mu said with a dark face: "What's good about that? Li Ke has someone to protect her. Besides, Li Ke and I are brother and sister. Even if we are not related by blood, she still calls me brother."
His stepmother actually came up with the idea of bringing him and Li Ke together.
Chu Mu was a smart man. After a little thought, he guessed his stepmother's intention of bringing him and Li Ke together.
It's simply because he feels that his father is getting older, and he's worried that after his father is gone, the two little ones will not grow up yet, and he's worried that he will kick his stepmother out of the house.
Even if he doesn't drive his stepmother away out of some old friendship, his wife may still treat her badly and make her life difficult.
If he married Li Ke, Li Ke would be his stepmother's biological daughter, so there would be less conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and his stepmother wouldn't have to worry about being kicked out of the house after his father died.
After Chu Mu figured it out, he felt a little displeased with his stepmother.
Ever since his stepmother gave birth to two children for his father at an advanced age, Chu Mu felt that his stepmother was not as kind to him as before.
Unexpectedly, his stepmother also wanted to plot his marriage.
If Li Ke knew that her stepmother had such thoughts, she would probably be even more sad.
Because the stepmother only considers her own interests, to put it bluntly, she is selfish.
I haven't really considered my children.
"Does Li Ke have someone protecting her? Does she have a boyfriend? Your aunt said she doesn't have one yet. Son, Dad thinks Li Ke was once a rich girl, so she should be a good person. Your aunt said her ex-husband was also very good to Li Ke and trained her wholeheartedly, wanting to make her his successor."
"Dad, don't mention this matter anymore. Tell Auntie that I only treat Li Ke as my sister. She is also my sister. Auntie, don't let your imagination run wild. As long as you and your wife have a good relationship, I will take on whatever responsibilities I should have in the future."
After thinking about it, Lao Chu said, "Since you don't want to, then just pretend that Dad never said anything. Don't blame your aunt. After experiencing a failed marriage, she will consider herself first in everything she does."
Chu Mu said calmly: "As long as Auntie doesn't have such thoughts again in the future, I won't blame her. She just needs to take good care of Dad, my younger siblings and my grandma."
My dad told me that my stepmother used to be a good wife and mother. Maybe it was because of a failed marriage that she became someone who only considers her own interests.
No matter what, his father and stepmother had a good relationship, and he had two more siblings, so Chu Mu didn't want to argue too much with his stepmother.
"I'll make it clear to your aunt and never mention this matter again. However, Chu Mu, you're not young anymore. If you meet someone suitable, just date her and bring her home for Dad to see. If you get married and have children, Dad can die in peace and be worthy of your mother in heaven."
Old Chu loves his eldest son Chu Mu the most.
"Dad, I get it. It's late. Go to bed quickly. I'm going to rest too."
"good."
After the father and son ended their call, Chu Mu sent a message to Li Ke, reminding her not to fall for her mother's tricks.
It also shows that he has no interest in her.
Li Ke was playing chess with Zhou Gong, and the fight was so intense that he couldn't even hear the message on his cell phone.
No more words were spoken that night.
The next day, Li Ke woke up and habitually touched his phone and found a WeChat message.
She opened WeChat and saw that it was a message from Chu Mu.
The brother and sister added each other on WeChat, but they never chatted.
She thought it was her biological mother who asked Chu Mu to say something to her, so she clicked on the message to see the content.
Li Ke's face turned green. He suddenly sat up from the bed and called Chu Mu.
The call was connected, but it rang for a long time and no one answered.
Li Ke thought that it was early in the morning and Chu Mu might not have woken up yet. When he was about to hang up the phone, Chu Mu answered it.
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to bother you."
Li Ke apologized first.
"What's up?"
Chu Mu was indeed woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. His voice was low and hoarse. He lay on the bed with his eyes still closed.
"Is what you told me true?"
Li Ke never thought that her mother would have such an idea and wanted her to be with Chu Mu.
She and Chu Mu only met yesterday.
Not familiar at all.
Moreover, strictly speaking, she should call Chu Mu her brother.
Even though they are not related by blood.
Letting her be with her stepbrother, well, it just feels awkward no matter how I think about it.
"My dad called me last night to ask for my opinion, and I flatly refused. But I don't know if your mom will give up. I thought I should tell you so that you won't be confused when your mom tries to match us up in the future."
Li Ke: "...Mr. Chu, go back and tell my mother that I won't disturb her new life. She just needs to live her life well and take good care of her two children. If she has difficulties in the future and needs me to support her as her daughter, I will also give her living expenses and will not let her starve to death."
She doesn't hate her biological mother, but it is impossible for her to live with her biological mother.
Li Ke felt that she and her two siblings could neither fit into her biological father and stepmother's small family, nor were they excluded from her biological mother and stepfather's family. The three of her siblings depended on each other and established their own family.
Who made their parents divorced?
Chu Mu was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll tell my aunt about your words. If anything happens in the future..."
"Mr. Chu, I can handle my problem. Thank you for your concern."
After her mother had such an idea, Li Ke didn't want to have too much contact with Chu Mu.
Otherwise her biological mother would not give up and still try to match her up with Chu Mu.
"Mr. Chu, sorry to bother you."
Li Ke quickly hung up the phone.
Because of this incident, Li Ke was in a bad mood.
While working, she was pruning flower branches with a pair of large scissors and cut off several branches with a snap.
"Do these flowers have a grudge against you? They were blooming beautifully, and you cut off their branches."
A deep voice sounded behind her. Without looking back, she knew it was the Third Young Master Jun Li.
Li Ke came back to his senses and saw the flowers he had cut off.
He immediately bent down to pick up the flowers, turned around and called out "Third Young Master", then handed the flowers to Jun Li and said to him, "I saw that these flowers were blooming well, so I cut them off and brought them into the house to put in a vase. They look beautiful."
Jun Li took the flowers, looked at them for a while, and asked her, "Are you worried about something?"
"No."
"Really?"
"No."
Jun Li smiled and said nothing.
"Why didn't the Third Young Master go to work today?"
"Do you care whether I go to work or not?"
Li Ke laughed and said, "I'm not that bold enough to control the Third Young Master. I'm just surprised. Normally, at this time, the Third Young Master would have gone to work long ago."
After a pause, she asked curiously, "Did your wife arrange another blind date for you?"
Jun Li: “…”
