Chapter 65 The ugly daughter-in-law must meet her parents-in-law
He put away his phone, raised his eyes, and swept his gaze over the three people with different expressions, finally stopping on the pale-faced Wu Suowei.
He clearly saw the deep, almost overflowing fear in Wu Suowei's eyes.
It wasn't the kind of disgust and anger he felt towards Wang Shuo, but a huge fear from the depths of his soul towards some irresistible force.
What is he afraid of? The old man?
Chi Cheng's eyes darkened slightly.
Wu Suowei's reaction went far beyond being "nervous about meeting the parents."
"Wang Shuo," Chi Cheng's voice broke the suffocating silence, and he uttered a few words clearly, "I went to see the old man."
"What?!" Guo Chengyu's face changed, and he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. "He's crazy?! So suddenly? What did the old man say?"
He knew Chi Yuanduan's temper and his expectations of Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng shook his head, his face expressionless, but a storm was surging deep in his eyes.
"Yue Yue called, and the old man asked us to return to the old house immediately." He paused, his eyes fell on Wu Suowei, and added, "Bring Weiwei with you."
When Wu Suowei heard the words "return to the old house", his body shook slightly.
Coming... or coming...
The feeling of being scrutinized and judged from the previous life came back to me again.
"Yue Yue?" Jiang Xiaoshuai caught the name and was stunned for a moment, "Why is she involved?"
He looked at Wu Suowei and found that his friend's face was as pale as paper and his eyes were a little straight, obviously he was very scared.
He quickly stepped forward and held Wu Suowei's arm, "Dawei? Are you okay? Why is your face so pale?"
Wu Suowei seemed to be awakened and suddenly came to his senses.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Yue Yue...
His mind raced. Ever since Chi Cheng helped him slap Yue Yue and Wang Shuo in the face at the mall, he hadn't seen that woman since.
Chi Cheng said that Yue Yue was trying to fool the old man, and Yue Yue herself seemed... very optimistic about the two of them being together.
He knew too little about Chi Yuanduan.
All we know is that he is in a high position and has high hopes for his son Chi Cheng. He disciplines him very strictly and is especially against Chi Cheng's "unproductive" hobbies, such as raising snakes.
And then there are… those threats and contempts from the previous life.
"I... I'm fine." Wu Suowei's voice was a little dry. He broke free from Jiang Xiaoshuai's hand, stood up straight, and tried to force a smile, but it was uglier than crying. "Yue Yue... is she coming over?"
"Yeah." Chi Cheng responded, his eyes still locked on his face, as if trying to explore the source of his fear.
"Isn't that perfect?" Jiang Xiaoshuai tried to liven up the atmosphere, slapping his thigh. "An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law... Ugh! Take it out for a walk, whether it's a mule or a horse! Comrade Dawei, show us that domineering attitude you used to assert your sovereignty! Go straight to the parents, all in one go!"
He was quite open-minded and felt that as long as Chi Cheng persisted, the problem could be solved.
Guo Chengyu turned to Jiang Xiaoshuai, his brow furrowed, and explained rapidly, "You don't know his father's temper. The path he planned for Chi Cheng was to rise step by step, through marriage, paving the way, and bringing honor to the family! And you suddenly gave him... a Wu Suowei?"
He glanced at the pale-faced Wu Suowei and swallowed back the more straightforward words that followed, but his meaning was already clear. "He's still a man, would the old man agree? It would be good enough if we don't break Chi Cheng's legs and make that kid disappear!"
Guo Chengyu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wu Suowei's heart hard.
disappear……
These two words made him feel cold all over, and the cold threat from Chi Yuanduan in his previous life was still ringing in his ears.
He subconsciously looked at Chi Cheng, his eyes filled with dependence and fear that he himself was not aware of.
Chi Cheng...what will he do?
What should I do... am I going to disappear again like in my previous life...
No...he doesn't want it.
Chi Cheng felt Wu Suowei's gaze, and the fragility and fear in that gaze made the violence in his heart even stronger.
He didn't look at Wu Suowei, his jawline tense, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Does it matter whether he agrees or not?"
The tone was filled with an almost arrogant and unquestionable paranoia.
Guo Chengyu was choked by him, then sighed helplessly: "Chi Cheng! Now is not the time to show off! The old man's methods... you know better than me! If he really wants to touch Wu Suowei, you can prevent him temporarily, but not forever! We have to find a way!"
Of course he knew the old man's attitude.
He was not worried about how the old man would treat him, but...
He looked at Wu Suowei.
The little guy's frightened look made him feel inexplicably irritated.
Of course I'm not afraid of anything. How could I let him be eaten by the old man?
Chi Cheng took the lead and stepped out, his steps steady and full of determination to fight to the death.
"Method?" He sneered, his voice echoing in the empty corridor. "My method is to let him know the consequences of touching my people."
Wu Suowei's heart sank a little as he listened to Guo Chengyu's words.
Sure enough...it was just as he had expected in his previous life.
A huge class gap and deep-rooted ideas.
Chi Yuanduan would not accept him.
It was a threat in the previous life, but this time... what will it be? A more direct approach?
His mind was a mess.
Fear, unwillingness, and a hint of anger at being forced into a desperate situation intertwined together.
He lived again and tried his best to avoid Chi Cheng, but was still swept back.
Now even Chi Cheng’s father has come to the door!
Why? Just because he was Chi Cheng? Just because Wu Suowei had no money or power?
No! We can't just sit there and wait for death!
Wu Suowei clenched his fists suddenly, his nails digging deep into his palms. The slight pain made his confused mind clearer.
He raised his head and looked at Chi Cheng. There was still some residual panic in his eyes, but there was also a hint of desperate ruthlessness.
"Chi Cheng..." He licked his chapped lips, his voice trembling slightly, but he tried to maintain a steady tone. "What does your dad...what does he like? Or...what does he hate the most?" He had to find a way! Even if there was only a slight chance.
In his previous life, he was completely unprepared and was crushed to pieces.
This time, he at least needs to know the enemy's weakness!
Chi Cheng looked at the mixture of fear and stubbornness in Wu Suowei's eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This little thing... was so scared, but its first reaction was not to run away, but to ask what the old man likes?
Chi Family Old House·Reception Room
The atmosphere was so heavy that water seemed to drip out of it.
Wang Shuo sat awkwardly on the expensive leather sofa, his back straight, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his fingertips cold.
He secretly raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the man sitting behind the huge mahogany desk.
Far end of the pool.
Even if he just sat there quietly, flipping through the documents, the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time and was intimidating without even getting angry was enough to make Wang Shuo feel suffocated.
He was wearing a neatly ironed Mao suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and his face was serious.
Wang Shuo's palms were covered in cold sweat.
Following the itinerary that his brother Wang Lian had inquired about, he deliberately "accidentally met" the head of the Chi family.
He had originally intended to use the excuse of filming with Chi Cheng's crew to subtly approach and curry favor, and then "inadvertently" reveal a little about Chi Cheng and that Wu Suowei's "abnormal" relationship...
He imagined Chi Yuanduan's rage and disgust towards Wu Suowei, and thought he might be able to take advantage of the situation and take back everything that belonged to him...
