"It's not good for him?" Qin Wanru was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "What is there about him that would make him worth targeting? Instead of thinking about these trivial things, we should think about tomorrow's battle against the Yuan family."
Chu Chuyan hesitated, but Chu Huanzhao couldn't help but say, "Mother, my brother-in-law and Yuan Wendong had a grudge before. This time, in order to ensure that Yuan Wendong would choose him tomorrow, he deliberately provoked him again. He has already threatened to cripple him tomorrow. Moreover, he angered Shi Kun today. That guy is obviously petty and will definitely retaliate."
Qin Wanru replied, "Provoking Yuan Wendong is a plan we devised to use the inferior against the superior. If Yuan Wendong really falls for the trap, isn't that perfect? As for safety, there's no need to worry. Firstly, he probably won't even need to get involved. Secondly, your father and I are watching from the sidelines. Do you think we'd just sit by and watch that Yuan guy make a move?"
Chu Chuyan spoke up at this moment: "What I'm afraid of is that the Yuan family has some trump cards that we don't know about. I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."
"It's best to be careful. Let Hong Xingying go first tomorrow. He's one of the best among his peers, but he's not the strongest in our Chu family. He's perfect for leading the charge and testing the Yuan family," Chu Zhongtian said in a deep voice. "I've been bringing these people back for special training these past few days, and I feel that dealing with the Yuan family or even the Wu family shouldn't be a problem."
Zu An, standing to the side, thought to himself, "No wonder I didn't see Hong Xingying in the classroom today. I was quite disappointed that I missed the opportunity. It turns out he was summoned back to the family for special training."
At this moment, Qin Wanru suddenly looked at Zu An and said, "I know you and Hong Xingying have some past grievances. I don't care how you two behave normally, but you are not allowed to provoke him tomorrow, so as not to affect his mood and cause our Chu family to suffer a setback."
Chu Huanzhao, who was standing to the side, immediately objected: "Mother, isn't he going to fight tomorrow too? Why don't you care about his feelings?"
Qin Wanru rolled her eyes: "He's just trying to stall Yuan Wendong; he doesn't actually need to fight."
Chu Zhongtian, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Xiao An, don't be nervous. If it's really your turn to fight tomorrow, just admit defeat."
Clearly, even a kind-hearted person like him shares the same view as his wife.
Zu An was used to it and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if I really need to fight tomorrow, it means the Chu family is in extreme danger, and I will definitely come out to turn the tide."
He felt that it was all in the hands of fate, otherwise why would he be placed last? Aren't the main characters supposed to make their grand entrance at the end?
"Pah, you jinx! You're always saying such nasty things!" Qin Wanru glared at him fiercely, clearly quite displeased. This guy had never uttered a single kind word.
She found it irritating and turned to her daughter: "Xiao Zhao, you shouldn't worry about others, worry about yourself first. You're always playing around and only just reached the third rank. Tomorrow you'll be second to last. Your sister and the others will probably be able to finish in the first few rounds, so you won't have to go on stage and risk getting injured."
"Oh~" Chu Huanzhao pouted, clearly a little dissatisfied, but the thought of being able to sit next to her brother-in-law made her feel much better.
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian said to Chu Chuyan, "With you, Hong Xingying, Yue Shan, Chu Hongcai, and Chu Yucheng, these five matches should be a sure thing. Winning one more match shouldn't be a big problem either."
Zu An quietly tugged at Chu Huanzhao's sleeve under the table and whispered, "Who are Chu Hongcai and Chu Yucheng?"
Chu Huanzhao blushed slightly, glanced at her mother and sister, and felt like she was fidgeting in class. She quickly explained, "Chu Hongcai is Second Uncle's son and the deputy captain of the Chu family's guards. He was originally responsible for guarding the family's spiritual spring, but something happened that night and the spring was contaminated. So he has been feeling very guilty and has been reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion, which is why you haven't seen him."
"In addition, Chu Yucheng is the son of my third uncle. He was a chubby little boy. He was quite cute when he was a child, but he has become fatter and fatter as he grows up. He's not interesting at all."
Zu An couldn't help but glance at Chu Zhongtian secretly. He thought to himself, "Look at how other people's second and third wives all have sons, but you have a bunch of beautiful daughters. I feel like this father-in-law is a bit disappointing."
This wasn't because he favored sons over daughters, but because in this society, offspring are related to the family's right to inherit the family business. If Chu Zhongtian had a few capable sons, Chu Chuyan probably wouldn't have needed to take him as her son-in-law in the first place.
Oh, now that you mention it, I should thank my father-in-law for being so unhelpful!
At this moment, Qin Wanru noticed the two's little actions and her expression immediately became somewhat displeased: "Xiao Zhao, go back and rest early after you finish eating, don't let it affect tomorrow's competition."
What's wrong with my two daughters? They both have terrible taste. The eldest daughter is fine, she was just looking for an average person anyway. But what's with the second daughter? How come she's getting closer and closer to that kid Zu'an?
Chu Huanzhao muttered, "Didn't you say I wouldn't have to play tomorrow?"
However, upon meeting her mother's angry gaze, she reluctantly went back to her room.
Qin Wanru looked at Zu An again: "You should go back too. We still need to discuss the details of tomorrow's competition."
Clearly, she didn't think Zu'an was qualified to participate in the discussion, and since she had originally planned to use him as cannon fodder to restrain Yuan Wendong, there was indeed no need for him to be involved too much.
Zuan shrugged. There was no point in staying here; he might as well go back sooner.
As I closed the door, I could faintly hear voices discussing something inside:
"The most powerful member of the Yuan family should be Yuan Wendong; the others are not a concern. As for the Wu family, their younger generation is not as good as ours, so they shouldn't be a big problem either..."
After he stepped outside, Cheng Shouping greeted him with a fawning smile: "Young master, have you finished your meal?"
