"Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Chu Chuyan asked, frowning.
Xue'er hurriedly explained, "I don't know why, but my stomach feels a little uncomfortable today..."
Upon hearing this, Zuan, standing to the side, waved his hand in front of his nose with a look of disgust: "You just went to take a dump. You've been doing that for so long, you must have filled the toilet by now."
Xue'er: "..."
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +444!
She had just come from Mei Chaofeng's place, and her words were just an excuse to deal with Chu Chuyan. Normally, no one would ask about such things in detail, but who knew that Zu An would actually dig into it so thoroughly, and the way he looked disgusted made it seem like she really smelled bad.
"Miss, look at him~" Xue'er stamped her foot and tugged at Chu Chuyan's sleeve, acting coquettishly.
I'll kill this despicable guy tonight. I can't afford to cause any trouble now, lest I arouse suspicion later.
Chu Chuyan glared at Zu An fiercely: "Can you please stop being so disgusting!" Although she was scolding Zu An, she still subconsciously and imperceptibly shook off Xue'er's hand, clearly feeling that Xue'er's hands were not clean as a result of what she had just said.
These little tricks caused Xue'er tons of damage, and the culprit behind it all was that bastard!
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +300!
Zuan shrugged: "You don't find this cesspool disgusting, but you do find me disgusting."
"A septic tank?" Xue'er felt a surge of heat rush to her head, and she almost fainted from anger. She even had the urge to kill this bastard on the spot. She had never hated anyone so much before. Every part of this person in front of her, from head to toe, made her want to tear him to pieces.
Xue'er's anger level increased by 888!
Yue Shan, who had been silent all along, shuddered. He thought to himself that although this son-in-law was a good-for-nothing in other aspects, his ability to infuriate others was unmatched in the entire Bright Moon City. He decided he must never provoke him in the future.
"Alright, alright, you two stop fooling around. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at in public?" Chu Chuyan could almost see smoke rising from Xue'er's head, so she quickly separated her from Zu An.
Xue'er snorted sullenly, thinking to herself that if she didn't make this bastard wish he were dead tonight, she would change her surname to his!
They returned to the Chu family home, where an old man stood guard at the gate. His clothes were neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle, and although his hair was somewhat gray, each strand was combed very neatly, clearly indicating that he was a meticulous fellow.
Zu An recognized this man; he was none other than Hong Zhong, the steward of the Chu family.
Upon seeing Chu Chuyan, Hong Zhong bowed to her. Chu Chuyan did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly returned the bow. He had worked hard and been loyal to the Chu family for decades and deserved the respect of the entire Chu family.
Hong Zhong then continued, "Master has ordered that we take the young master to the study as soon as he returns." He then turned and began to lead the way. Chu Chuyan gave Zu An a knowing look, and then followed behind him.
Zu An was taken aback. Hong Zhong's expression and tone were no different from before, which was somewhat unexpected. After all, the news of the conflict between Hong Zhong and his son at the academy during the day should have reached his ears. Why was there no ripple in his mind?
Seemingly having guessed his thoughts, Hong Zhong suddenly spoke up: "Miss, Master, I have heard about what happened to Hong Xingying during the day. That boy is young and arrogant, and he offended you without thinking. I apologize on his behalf. I hope you won't take it to heart. I will teach him a good lesson."
"Uncle Zhong, you flatter me. Zu'an was also at fault in this matter," Chu Chuyan hurriedly replied.
Zu An, standing to the side, looked indignant, thinking, "What does this have to do with me? It was that arrogant guy who started the trouble first." Just as he was about to say something, Chu Chuyan glared at him, so he could only swallow his words back. It seems that Hong Zhong's status in the manor is extraordinary.
Okay, you're beautiful, so you're right. Just listen to your wife.
Hong Zhong shook his head: "I understand that rebellious son. That child had some unrealistic ambitions, so it's inevitable that his mentality became somewhat unbalanced. He was the one who started this whole thing. Although the master and mistress haven't said anything, I've always felt very guilty..."
Hearing his extremely sincere tone, which did not seem to be feigned, Zu An sighed inwardly. How could such an upright and honest father raise such a narrow-minded son? Oh well, considering his sincerity, as long as that guy doesn't provoke me, I won't seek revenge on him anymore.
Chu Chuyan quickly picked up the conversation, defusing Hong Zhong's embarrassment with just a few words, and naturally shifted the topic to discuss some business matters of the Chu family, making the atmosphere of the conversation extremely harmonious.
Zuan had previously wondered how such an icy woman could manage the Chu family so well, but now he finally understood.
Not long after, the group arrived at the study, where Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru were already waiting.
"Zu'an, how dare you go to the casino to gamble in front of everyone, and even bring Chu Yan with you?" Qin Wanru slammed her hand on the table and glared at him angrily.
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 77!
