Qin Yuhan and Grandma Chu stared at Yunlong with slightly stunned expressions. What did Yunlong mean by that? Did he no longer want to acknowledge Chu Yunxiao as his father?
"Yunlong, why don't you go home? Have we treated you badly?" Qin Yuhan asked, puzzled.
"Are you all good to me?" Yunlong asked in return.
A faint displeasure welled up in Grandma Chu's heart. She thought she had been good enough to Yunlong, so why did Yunlong still have prejudices against them?
Qin Yuhan said with displeasure, "I think I've been good enough to you."
“You’re nice to me, but outsiders call me a mangy dog in front of the servants and mock me and my mother for staying in the Chu family. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this, that you look down on my mother and me deep down. I will never go back to the Chu family,” Yunlong said.
Upon hearing Yunlong's words, Chu Feng immediately ran to Yunlong's side, took his hand, looked at Qin Yuhan and the others, and pouted, saying, "If you don't like Mom and Brother, I don't like you either, and I don't care to go back to the Chu family."
“Wherever Mom and my brother live, that’s where I’ll live,” Chu Zhe said.
Chu Chen's lips curled up slightly, his gaze towards Qin Yuhan and the others was cold, and he said in a cold voice: "What's so great about the Chu family? They still have to rely on your great-uncle. You are nothing in front of your great-uncle. Rather than going to the Chu family to suffer, we might as well follow our great-uncle. We can still eat and drink well and not suffer any more."
"You look down on my mother because she's an orphan. Can you raise four children on your own like my mother did?"
"No, you can't. You're all waited on hand and foot. The moment you leave the base, you'll be torn to pieces by the zombies and swallowed whole."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yunxiao and said, "You have never done anything for us, but you feel wronged instead. What are you wronged about?"
"Do you only visit us a few times a year and take away a lot of things? I don't think you're visiting us, but rather taking things and taking advantage of my mother."
Liu Anran knew that Chu Chen was very smart, the smartest of the four children. Today, Chu Chen's words refreshed Liu Anran's understanding of him. Liu Anran even suspected that Chu Chen had transmigrated from another dimension.
Regardless of whether Chu Chen was reincarnated from another realm into her womb or was intelligent from a young age, he is still her son, and she will love and cherish him forever.
Chu Yunxiao felt ashamed after Chu Chen's words. His original intention was to visit Liu Anran and her five children, not to take advantage of them. However, Chu Chen was right; he really hadn't done anything for them.
Qin Yuhan was already very unhappy to see Chu Chen belittling the Chu family and praising Qin Ruixu. Now, seeing Chu Chen speaking to Chu Yunxiao with such disrespect, a surge of anger rose within her, and she said in a deep voice, "Chu Chen, why did you speak to your father like that? You are simply being extremely unfilial."
“I don’t think I’m wrong. I’m not taking advantage of my mother and complaining about her. My mother is the best mother in the world. She stayed in the mountains for us. Who of you could do that?”
Grandma Chu and Qin Yuhan were speechless when asked; they couldn't do it.
Chu Chen looked at Chu Yunxiao and asked, "Can you, my father?"
Chu Yunxiao did not answer, because he knew he couldn't do it.
Liu Anran frowned slightly as she looked at Chu Yunxiao, her tone tinged with helplessness. "If you're not satisfied with the child, you can marry a woman of equal social standing, have another child, and let him inherit your family business. My child won't covet anything from the Chu family. At worst, I'll take them away from the Beijing base and go to another base."
Chu Yunxiao asked sadly, "An Ran, are you really going to be so heartless to me?"
Liu Anran said impatiently, "Chu Yunxiao, my ruthlessness was forced by your inaction. Don't always pretend to be affectionate. No matter how much you pretend, you can't hide your true nature as a scumbag."
“If you truly loved me, you wouldn’t have gone half a year without visiting the child. You keep saying you’re willing to give up everything for me and the child, but you’ve never actually done it.”
“When I returned to the Beijing base, did you ever ask me how I had been these past six months, or why I had to come back? You always only think of yourself. Me and the child are not that important to you.”
Chu Yunxiao stared at Liu Anran, his face pale, unable to believe that these words were coming from her mouth. Sadness, grief, tension, and trepidation were all mixed together.
“An Ran, no, it’s not like that…”
Chu Yunxiao tried his best to explain, but Liu Anran didn't want to listen to him anymore and interrupted him, saying, "I don't want to hear your same old explanations."
Grandma Chu said, "Yunxiao's relationship with Liu Anran is getting more and more strained. If it continues, it will only get worse. So she said, "Anran, Yunxiao may have done something wrong, but no one is perfect. It is good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Yunxiao is still young. You should give him a chance to correct himself slowly."
"The key to a marriage is communication. If you have any complaints about Yunxiao in the future, you should tell him so that he can know where he went wrong."
Qin Yuhan didn't understand why Grandma Chu spoke to Liu Anran in such a humble manner. Yunxiao was handsome and capable; they could always find another one.
Grandma Chu was getting old, so Liu Anran didn't argue with her. She just smiled at Grandma Chu and said, "Grandma, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest for a bit, so I won't keep you company. If you miss the children, you can come and see them anytime."
Grandma Chu looked at Liu Anran's distant smile, her heart sinking. She regretted turning a blind eye to the rumors that were circulating.
