Old Master Chu glared at him: "Your eldest brother and I can go. You should stay at home and don't go out and cause trouble. Our Chu family is already in such a miserable state, and we can't afford your mess anymore."
Chu Lao San said unconvincedly, "I went there to invite Luo Jiuyan back to the Chu family. What trouble could I possibly cause? If I go personally, he will definitely not refuse. He is now the son-in-law of the Xiao family. If he wants to get rid of the title of son-in-law, he must rely on the power of our Chu family. As long as we give him a little sweet treat, he will definitely come back obediently."
Old Master Chu slapped his thigh in anger. "It's already this late, and you're still so condescending. Who do you think you are? I'm warning you again. If you continue to be so self-righteous, I'll have your eldest brother break your legs."
Chu Lao San swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say anything else, but he was very dissatisfied with Mr. Chu's prejudice against him.
Since the Chu family fell, the family members have left and dispersed. He always felt that the old man must have some assets, so he never left. Today, when he saw his eldest brother coming to the old man's place, he was worried that the old man would give the hidden assets to his eldest brother. Seeing the old man's disdain for him, Chu Lao San secretly hated him while thinking about how to take advantage of Luo Jiuyan.
Regardless of whether Luo Jiuyan returns to the Chu family or not, as long as he has a relationship with Luo Jiuyan, he can use the power of the Lu family to do a lot of things.
The old man's words went in one ear and out the other. Seeing that his eldest brother was about to leave, he didn't want to stay and listen to the old man's nagging.
The two of them left Mr. Chu's residence at the same time.
Outside the gate, Boss Chu looked at Boss Chu again with a warning.
"Third brother, I'm not saying this as your eldest brother, but it's time for you to grow up. When the Chu family was still prosperous, it didn't matter what you did, but now the Chu family has fallen. If you continue to do this and cause trouble every day, we really can't protect you."
The Third Chu sneered, "This isn't the first time the Chu family has fallen on hard times. Luo Jiuyan was able to bring the Chu family back to life before, and he's definitely better able to do so now. As long as I bow to him, he'll definitely come back. Don't forget, his mother was adopted by this old man. He should be filial to his mother. If he dares not come back, we'll use moral coercion to blackmail him. If he still wants a good reputation, he must return to the Chu family. You say I'm messing around? Only I can save face and bow to him."
Boss Chu looked at the third brother Chu and couldn't say a word.
In fact, he had also thought about using this method to force Luo Jiuyan to come back.
But neither he nor the old man could save face.
The old man had blocked Luo Jiuyan's way back to the Chu family. If he really wanted to beg Luo Jiuyan to come back, he had to put aside his pride and kneel down in front of everyone to beg Luo Jiuyan.
Since the third brother had made the plan, he really didn't want to argue. It would be best if the third brother could do it.
He patted Chu Lao San's shoulder and said, "Lao San, I didn't expect you to really grow up and consider the Chu family. Since you insist on doing so, then I will say no."
Soon, it was the day of the hundred-day banquet for Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan’s two children.
Xiao Qingran invited everyone who had attended her wedding to come.
Even Wei Ziqing was brought back from the ancient martial arts world.
Wei Ziqing knew full well that she would have to meet her parents and brother this time. But she was no longer the Wei Ziqing who had been manipulated by her family, and she had prepared for the worst-case scenario after meeting them.
Wei Ziqing came back alone this time.
She thought that since she hadn't handled the family affairs well, it would be better not to involve Hua Yuqi.
Xiao Qingran supports her decision, but the Wei family cares too much about their own interests. It probably won't be easy for Wei Ziqing to resolve the problems between them.
However, this was a matter between the Wei family, and it was not easy for her to interfere. As long as the Wei family did not harm Wei Ziqing, she would definitely not interfere.
When Xiao Qingran and Wei Ziqing appeared at the hotel, each holding a child, almost all the guests who had received the invitation had arrived.
The head of the Xiao family saw Xiao Qingran, standing not far away, and watching her quietly.
Xiao Qingran was very surprised to see that he had white hair at the temples before he was fifty. However, when she thought of the negative impact Xiao Yuruo had on the Xiao family, she couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for the head of the Xiao family.
It was just a pity. She wasn't the original owner, so she couldn't empathize with him. Besides, Xiao Yuruo, the culprit who had hurt her and the original owner, had already received the punishment he deserved. What was done was done. To her, Patriarch Xiao was just a stranger. She nodded calmly at him.
At this moment, a man suddenly ran over.
Xiao Qingran looked closely and found that the man was none other than Chu Lao San.
He ran to Luo Jiuyan who was beside Xiao Qingran and said excitedly: "Xiao Yan, Third Uncle has something to tell you."
He seemed extremely excited and reached out to grab Luo Jiuyan's arm.
"Master Chu, what are you planning to do? The banquet hasn't started yet. If you have anything to say, wait until it's over."
Xiao Qingran looked at Mr. Chu Sanye coldly, and deliberately put one arm in front of Luo Jiuyan.
At this time, Boss Chu pushed Old Man Chu over.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingran quickly placed the child in her arms in Luo Jiuyan's arms. She then took the other child from Wei Ziqing's arms and placed it in Luo Jiuyan's other arm.
Chu Lao San glared at Xiao Qingran unhappily: "Taking care of children is a woman's job. How could you let Xiao Yan, a grown man, hold a child?"
Boss Chu also said: "Yes, since ancient times, men have been responsible for the outside world and women for the inside world. It is women who should take care of children. You..."
Uncle Lu was busy receiving guests. When he saw Luo Jiuyan being bullied by the Chu family, he quickly handed the reception work to Lu Lao Er and walked over himself.
He glanced at Chu San Lao and Chu Lao Da with disdain, and then politely greeted Mr. Chu.
"What's their marital affairs got to do with you? Whoever wants to take care of the child can do it. They were destroyed long ago. Now men and women are equal, and you're still promoting feudalism?"
Boss Chu and Third Chu had originally intended to exploit this situation to gain control of Luo Jiuyan. Boss Lu's arrival ruined their plans, and their expressions immediately soured.
Old Master Chu was deeply afraid that his two sons would come into conflict with Boss Lu. The Chu family was now on the verge of collapse and could no longer withstand any storms.
He quickly tried to smooth things over: "My eldest brother is a very old-fashioned man. My dear nephew, please don't take it personally. I haven't seen Xiao Yan for a long time. He must be too excited to say anything rude."
Uncle Lu will still give face to Old Man Chu. No matter how badly the Chu family has declined, as the saying goes, things change over time. The Lu family will not take advantage of others' misfortunes, nor will they add insult to injury, but they will not tolerate outsiders bullying their own family members.
Since Mr. Chu said so, he was willing to give the Chu family a way out.
"You haven't seen my father yet, right? He's playing chess with Xiao Luo's grandfather. I'll have someone take you there!"
