"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
As if struck by a heavy blow, Zhang Hua retreated while shaking her head, her tearful eyes filled with disappointment and pain. This act was actually Zhang Hua's way of hiding the panic in her heart. She pointed at Chen Changqing and said in a trembling voice, "Why would I do such a thing? Or rather, in your heart, I am a snake and a scorpion, Chen Changqing, is this how you see me? To me... to me all these years, have you never had a shred of trust?"
Swaying as if she were about to fall at any moment, Zhang Hua cried out, "You have disappointed me so much! No, you have not only disappointed me, you have made me feel like a joke! Chen Changqing, how could you be so cruel? How could you think of me as so vicious? You are trying to force me to my death!"
Suddenly turning around, Zhang Hua ran out of Chen Changqing's study. As soon as she entered her bedroom, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
"Mom, what's wrong...?"
Chen Shu lay on Zhang Hua's bed, and seeing Zhang Hua's heartbroken appearance, she felt completely bewildered, and her expression showed not a trace of concern.
Zhang Hua raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, his expression returning to normal, showing no trace of the pain and disappointment he had displayed just moments before, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Go back to your own home.
Zhang Hua sat down at the dressing table without even glancing at Chen Shu.
"I don't want to go back!"
Chen Shu lay motionless on the bed and said, "Unless Wang Junchi comes to pick me up in person and kneels before me to beg me!"
"go back!"
Zhang Hua turned his head, stared at Chen Shu, and coldly rebuked, "If you don't want me to kick you out, you'd better get up and leave on your own now."
"What right do you have to kick me out? This is my home, I'm my father's daughter, you're just an outsider..."
Chen Shu's spoiled nature instantly kicked in, and she immediately started arguing with her mother, Zhang Hua.
"shut up!"
Zhang Hua's face was cold: "I'm an outsider. Have you forgotten your true identity? Just because you have the surname Chen, do you think you're your father's blood relative?"
"mom!"
Chen Shu's face turned pale. She sat up and hurriedly called out to Zhang Hua. Then she said, "How could you do this? I am my father's daughter, and no one can change that, including you. Otherwise... otherwise you'll definitely be kicked out of the house by my father!"
A crisp "snap" sounded!
Zhang Hua suddenly stood up, strode to the bedside, and slapped Chen Shu across the face. She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, saying, "You ingrate! How could I have raised such an ingrate? Get out! Get out of the Chen family right now, do you hear me?!"
Pointing to the doorway, Zhang Hua's eyes were devoid of any warmth as he continued in uncontrollable rage, "Since you've severed ties with this family, don't even think about coming back. Get out, and don't let me see you again!"
"Mom, I was wrong, okay? Please don't send me away. It was my fault. I shouldn't have said those things to upset you. Mom... please forgive me just this once. I promise I won't do it again..."
She had only been away from the Wang family for a short time. If she went back like this, Wang Junchi would probably laugh at her, and Wang Jingjing and her wicked mother-in-law and daughter would probably treat her as a joke too.
With this in mind, Chen Shu made up her mind that she absolutely could not go back now, let alone be sent back.
“Go back to the Wang family. That’s your home. Don’t make me say any more.”
Zhang Hua remained unmoved, staring intently at her spoiled daughter: "And remember this: the moment you insisted on divorcing Xiao Yu, there was no place for you in this family."
Then, just a few days after your divorce, you slept with Junchi and told your family that you would marry into the Wang family even if it meant death. At that time, your father bluntly stated that the Chen family no longer had a daughter like you.
Your grandparents heard this but didn't refute it, which shows they agree with what your father said and won't continue to treat you as their granddaughter. You need to know your own limitations; otherwise, when you really suffer a big setback, you won't have a chance to regret it.
"I……"
Chen Shu's lips twitched; she seemed to want to say something, but remained silent for a long time.
"Go back, I'm not in the mood to entertain you right now."
Sitting back down at her dressing table, Zhang Hua didn't look at Chen Shu again. She lowered her eyes, thinking about the two things Chen Changqing had asked her.
Could it be... could it be that he sensed something?
Zhang Hua pondered to herself. She didn't believe Chen Changqing had any solid evidence; otherwise, given his temperament, he would never have tolerated her staying in the Chen family.
He will divorce her and hand her over to the police.
As his thoughts wandered, Zhang Hua realized that Chen Changqing was probably testing him, and this testing likely stemmed from some rumors he had heard. Therefore, he was currently suspicious of her, suspecting that Chen Dongsheng's near-death experience on a mission and Chen Dongxu's becoming a cripple were all the result of her scheming.
So who could have been gossiping about her to Chen Changqing, making him suspicious of her?
Zhang Hua racked her brains but couldn't come up with a single clue. By the time she came to her senses, Chen Shu was no longer in the room.
First floor living room.
"grandfather."
When Chen Shu came downstairs, she saw Old Master Chen sitting in the living room. She was taken aback at first, and then called out softly.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Chen only glanced at her indifferently before his gaze returned to the newspaper in his hand.
Mr. Chen was extremely disappointed in his granddaughter, so much so that he didn't even want to look at her.
Happy New Year, Grandpa!
Upon entering the living room, Chen Shu wished Grandpa Chen a Happy New Year, but all he responded with was a soft "hmm."
After standing there for a while, seeing that the old man didn't want to pay any attention to her, Chen Shu felt both wronged and angry, feeling that the old man really didn't care about her as his granddaughter.
She stomped her foot and left the living room with a gloomy face.
Who were you talking to just now?
Grandma Chen appeared in the living room and asked Grandpa Chen a question.
"Chen Shu".
Mr. Chen responded, and at the same time he got up and helped Mrs. Chen to sit on the sofa.
Why did she come here?
Grandma Chen frowned: "Has she forgotten that this family doesn't welcome her, or does she think that as long as she's shameless enough, we can't do anything about her?"
"No matter what... she is the third son's daughter. Let bygones be bygones. You are not in good health, so don't worry about those things anymore."
After hearing what Grandpa Chen said, Grandma Chen snorted and said, "I don't think she was born to the third son. Think about it yourself, what part of her looks like the third son?"
After a pause, Old Mrs. Chen continued, "It's one thing if she doesn't resemble the third child, but she doesn't look anything like her twin brother, Xiao Xu."
Grandpa Chen: "Perhaps she takes after her mother's appearance."
“You may not remember what Xiao Xu’s mother looks like, but I do. Xiao Zhao is so beautiful. I can’t see any resemblance between Chen Shu and her.”
The "Little Zhao" that Old Mrs. Chen mentioned is Zhao Su, Chen Changqing's second wife and Chen Dongxu's biological mother. She is truly beautiful. Just standing in front of you, without saying or doing anything, she is as beautiful as a painting.
