Volume 1 Chapter 237 Gathering the Chu Family Army

"niece."

Uncle Niu stood up and called Du Minrou with a smile.

He is Du Minrou's uncle, and belongs to the Baolong clan, a branch of the sword-bearing guards.

"Uncle Niu, do you want our Chu family to submit to Li Tian?" Du Minrou seemed extremely excited, as if she was going to bring an attack to hold him accountable.

Uncle Niu frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Minrou, this is my decision and has nothing to do with Uncle Niu." Chu Tianxiong quickly took over the conversation.

Du Minrou looked at her man with disappointment in her eyes: "The Chen family was destroyed by Huang Xiaohua, and Chen Pingshan committed suicide out of fear of crime. Now is the time for our Chu family to rise, but you want us to bow down to Li Tian."

This was what she couldn't understand. Both Huang Xiaohua and her husband chose to support Li Tian to the top, and even made the Chu family bow down to them.

In her eyes, their bloodline was inherently superior to other bloodlines, so how could they bow down to others, especially those of an ordinary, even humble grassroots origin?

She couldn't accept it, she absolutely couldn't accept it!

"What has Li Tian accomplished? He just created a famous chef and monopolized the entire coastal catering market. For him personally, this is indeed something he can show off for his whole life, but for a family, this is just a small achievement and it means nothing at all. Does he deserve our Chu family to bow down to him? Does he have the qualifications?" Du Minrou sneered.

Chu Tianxiong sighed and said, "Minrou, you have been recuperating during this period, so you don't know what happened in Binhai recently."

Du Minrou said coldly: "I don't know, I only know that now is a great opportunity for our Chu family to rise and become the master of Binhai. As long as our Chu family..."

"That's enough. My decision will not change. You can go down."

Chu Tianxiong interrupted Du Minrou's words with a stern command as the head of the family. He always praised his wife as wise, but she attached too much importance to bloodline, which led to her distorted prejudice against Li Tian. This had affected her judgment of Li Tian as a person, thus showing her womanly views.

He knew she couldn't understand him now, but time would prove that his decision was right.

If Li Tian can rise, gain a firm foothold in Binhai and become the sky of Binhai, his Chu family will not have to worry about being exterminated for at least 50 years.

"Have you lost your courage?"

Du Minrou gritted her teeth, left a few words and retreated angrily.

"Don't you want to go and comfort her?" Uncle Niu asked Chu Tianxiong.

Chu Tianxiong shook his head: "She will understand sooner or later."

"Why don't you explain to her clearly that the downfall of the Chen family was not caused by official actions, but by Li Tian?" Uncle Niu said.

"It's useless. She is too prejudiced against Li Tian. Even if Li Tian destroyed the Shen family, she would still look down on him and think he is not qualified to take the position."

Chu Tianxiong knows his partner very well. Du Minrou has deep hatred and disgust for grassroots people like Li Tian who have risen from nowhere without any origin or background. This is a deep-rooted morbid prejudice.

"Niece, this is very wrong. We were indeed a royal family in the past, but times have changed. We have to look forward and cannot always stare at the glory of the past. If we cannot let go, it will only become a demon in our hearts." Uncle Niu sighed lightly.

Chu Tianxiong shook his head and sighed. He was helpless about this.

Not long after, Du Minrou came out again.

Uncle Niu raised his eyebrows but said nothing, fearing that he would touch Du Minrou's sensitive nerves again.

Chu Tianxiong frowned and asked Du Minrou: "Is there anything wrong?"

"I am a woman. There are many things I really don't understand. It is normal to have resistance. But I know very well that my man's decision will not be wrong. Otherwise, our Chu family would not have always been the dominant force in Binhai."

Du Minrou's attitude softened a lot. She took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for Chu Tianxiong and Uncle Niu, as an apology for her previous gaffe.

Chu Tianxiong looked at her in surprise.

Uncle Niu was very pleased and said with a smile: "It seems that love is a magical thing that can make one party trust the other party unconditionally."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank.

"Tianxiong and I have been married for more than 20 years, and our hearts have almost grown together. No matter how reluctant I am, I will eventually support his decision." Du Minrou looked at Chu Tianxiong affectionately.

"Minrou, I'm relieved that you think this way." Chu Tianxiong gently held her hand.

"Uncle Niu is here, please be serious." Du Minrou glared at him and pulled her hand back.

Uncle Niu laughed: "You're still shy, hahaha..."

Chu Tianxiong smiled, picked up the teacup and drank.

Du Minrou watched them finish their drink and then poured them more.

After a few drinks, Chu Tianxiong suddenly felt a little dizzy and even his vision became blurry.

"Minrou, you...you..." He realized something, but too late, and fell asleep on the tea table.

Uncle Niu stood up shakily, feeling weak all over and dizzy. He sat down on the ground after standing for a while.

"What did you put in your tea?"

Uncle Niu questioned Du Minrou loudly, it was obvious that the tea was not strong enough.

Du Minrou's face was cold and expressionless as she said, "I put a knockout drug in it."

Sleeping pills?

Uncle Niu was shocked. He never expected Du Minrou to do such a thing. Otherwise, with his and Chu Tianxiong's vigilance, how could they fall into the trap so easily?

He asked anxiously, "Du Minrou, what are you going to do?"

"Uncle Niu, you should know exactly what I want to do!"

Du Minrou said loudly, "Tianxiong is confused and has made a wrong decision. As his wife, I cannot watch him continue to be confused. After tonight, Binhai will be the world of our Chu family. Our Chu family will become another super family."

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are saying?" Uncle Niu said sadly.

"I'm not crazy. I know very well what I'm saying. Uncle Niu, just sleep well. You don't need to worry about this matter." Du Minrou said lightly.

Uncle Niu really wanted to explain to Du Minrou the whole process of the Chen family's downfall, but the effect of the knockout drug was too strong. He tried hard to resist it but was unable to defeat it. His head felt heavy as if it was filled with lead, and he eventually lost consciousness and fell into a sleep.

Du Minrou put her hands behind her back and shouted coldly, "Thunder Lady!"

A woman in her mid-forties came forward quickly, bowed and said, "Madam."

Hun exuded a spirit of hard work and his eyes were ruthless. He was obviously a well-trained expert.

"Gather the Chu family army and rush to the famous chef headquarters immediately!" Du Minrou gave the order, determined to take over Binhai.

"yes."

Lei Po stepped back and carried out Du Minrou's orders.
