Volume 1 Chapter 159 Situation

"Minrou, are you still angry with me?" Chu Tianxiong sat down on the edge of the bed and held Du Minrou's hand.

Du Minrou pulled her hand back with all her might, and said to him with great resentment, "Your wife was hurt, and as a husband, you didn't say a word, and let the evildoer go unpunished. How do you want me to treat you?"

Her eyes were red, Chu Tianxiong's behavior made her feel heartbroken and aggrieved.

Chu Tianxiong sighed and said, "Actually, I know everything. You didn't go there to warn Li Tian to keep his distance from Yu'er. You went there to kill him."

Du Minrou's face flashed with an unnatural expression, and then she said coldly: "So what? I am your Chu Tianxiong's woman. Even if I kill him, he will have to bear it. But he fought back and stabbed me viciously. He is trampling the prestige of the Chu family on the ground."

Chu Tianxiong shook his head helplessly: "The Chu family's prestige was not trampled by him, but by you."

"What's wrong with you? I'm your wife. Instead of protecting your wife, you speak for the evildoer?" Du Minrou was particularly disappointed.

"Binhai is one of the core cities in China. Its economy and trade are more prosperous than those in Beijing. Too many super families have been eyeing Binhai. Over the past decade or so, the super families have never stopped their economic infiltration into Binhai."

"It's just that our Chu family and Chen family have occupied almost all the space in Binhai. The only infiltration they have is some insignificant tentacles that can be cut off at any time."

Chu Tianxiong told Du Minrou about the current situation in Binhai. "But, one day, the super families will lose patience. The Qiao family in Shangjing has already shown some clues. This has also sounded a warning to me. Once the super families lose patience one day and invade Binhai on a large scale without considering the consequences, our Chu family will absolutely not be able to resist, and we won't even be able to protect ourselves."

After hearing this, Du Minrou gradually calmed down. She knew that her husband was telling the truth.

There are many super families in China. They occupy land and rule as kings like the princes in ancient times. There are the Qiao family in Shangjing, the Chi family in Miaojiang, the Shen family in Nanyue... There are too many of them. In the eyes of these super families, the Chu family and the Chen family can only be regarded as a small local force.

She asked puzzledly: "I know what our Chu family is facing, but what does this have to do with that evil man Li Tian?"

Chu Tianxiong said: "I am giving the Chu family a future, a future where there will be no crisis of extinction within a hundred years. Li Tian is in the blueprint for the future of the Chu family."

Du Minrou was shocked, and then sneered disdainfully: "You think too highly of him!"

"Li Tian has shown enough potential. Yimixiang used a fake secret seasoning recipe, and the food it made yesterday caused diners in more than a dozen branches to suffer from diarrhea."

"If Chen Pingshan hadn't intervened, appeasing those who needed to be appeased and warning those who needed to be warned, Yimixiang would have been on the headlines today and would have been removed from Binhai from now on."

"It has been less than two months since Mingchu opened, and he has almost wiped out Yimixiang, which has 70% of the Binhai catering market. With such means and such a character, I firmly believe that sooner or later he will be able to leave Binhai and become a local overlord."

Chu Tianxiong is full of confidence in Li Tian.

"Impossible, he can't even get past the Chen family." Du Minrou had too many prejudices against ordinary people like Li Tian who had no identity or background.

"Let's wait and see." Chu Tianxiong smiled.

Du Minrou pondered for a moment and spoke: "Even if Li Tian really can rise, why should our Chu family rely on his protection? Can't we choose to rely on a super family? Isn't this more reasonable than betting the future on him?"

"It's too late."

Chu Tianxiong sighed deeply. "Whether it is our Chu family or Chen family, it is too late to rely on a super family now. Other families will not watch Binhai become the meat in the mouths of other families. Once we have such signs, we will only let the super family take action in advance."

Du Minrou was silent.

Chu Tianxiong continued, "Originally, I was planning to hand over everything of the Chu family when the super family invaded Binhai. Although I would become an ordinary person, at least I could keep my family safe for the rest of their lives. But now that Li Tian has appeared, I am willing to bet the future of the Chu family on him."

Du Minrou was anxious when she heard this: "You want to give your daughter away?"

In her opinion, the only way to improve the relationship between Lada and Li Tian was marriage, so she subconsciously thought of her daughter.

Chu Tianxiong frowned: "Minrou, your words make me angry."

"When Li Tian rose to prominence, we silently helped him. He would naturally remember the good things our Chu family had done for him. Why do you think that giving away our daughter is the only option?"

"Also, I've thought about it for a long time. Yu'er's happiness should be in her own hands. You and I shouldn't deliberately interfere."

Du Minrou said frantically, "I can't intervene. Am I just going to watch her get defiled by that evil man Li Tian?"

"Your prejudice has gradually made you lose your mind. Have a good rest. Also, stay at home and recuperate during this period. Don't go out unless you have nothing to do." Chu Tianxiong showed his authority. He felt that he should control his wife, otherwise, who knows what trouble she might cause.

Besides, Li Tian gave him enough face; the knife looked fierce, but it avoided the aorta in the leg. This was why his wife still had the energy to be angry with him.

Du Minrou froze on the bed, unable to figure out what she had done wrong.
