Chu Shumin immediately felt wronged, her eyes reddening, and she immediately complained to Madam Chu, "Mom...my brother bullied me!"
Madam Chu felt even more troubled. She was already overwhelmed by family matters, and the Gu family had no intention of helping her husband, saying it was too serious and they had put all their money into projects they had taken from the Chu family, so they couldn't come up with the funds all at once.
To be honest, Madam Chu didn't believe the Gu family's explanation. How could they possibly come up with such a small amount of money? When she got home, she told Uncle Chu, who then scolded her.
The disgruntled Madam Chu ignored the siblings' argument.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
Before they even targeted the brothers of the eldest branch of the Chu family, the siblings themselves started fighting amongst themselves.
Chu Shumin felt even more wronged that her mother, who usually helped her, wouldn't help her. But she knew there was no way to ask for help, and tears streamed down her face.
Chu Zhehong didn't care at all when Chu Shumin started crying. Instead, he focused his attention on the other people at the banquet, looking around to see if there were any pretty ladies he could chat up.
However, after searching around, Uncle Chu spotted Old Master Chu and asked them to come along to see him.
Last time, he only went to see Grandpa Chu privately on his own. Now he has brought his son and daughter so that they can also say a few words.
"Go find your grandpa first! If you don't want your allowance to stop, you have to get your grandpa to help your dad!"
At home, Uncle Chu and his wife had already discussed and explained to their two children what to do next.
"knew!"
Chu Zhehong and Chu Shumin obediently followed their second uncle to find Old Master Chu.
Chu Shumin took a few deep breaths and tried to recall the terrible days she had spent living. Her parents were either arguing or beating her. Chu Shumin felt very wronged and wanted to cry, and soon she started crying.
Chu Shumin ran to Grandpa Chu and threw herself into his arms, crying, "Grandpa, you have to stand up for Minmin!"
Seeing Chu Shumin suddenly throw herself into his arms and cry, Old Master Chu frowned and pulled her out of his arms. "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard!"
Chu Shumin wiped away her tears and tearfully recounted how miserable her life had been lately.
Uncle Chu's company is gone, and now all the Chu family members' bank cards have been frozen. The nannies and maids who used to take care of them have all resigned because they have no money.
This also makes it difficult for them to eat every time, after all, the family members are all used to doing nothing, how could they cook?
If Madam Chu hadn't later sold her own jewelry, they don't know if they would have starved to death.
Chu Zhehong wasn't idle either; he was also talking on the side. Some people were even asking him to pay off debts, saying they wanted him to pay off his parents' debts.
It would be a lie to say that Old Master Chu didn't feel sorry for Chu Zhehong and Chu Shumin after listening to their words.
Chu Shumin used to keep Tang Bao company when she wasn't home, and now, hearing about her miserable situation, she felt heartbroken.
Grandpa Chu patted Chu Shumin's head. "It's alright. You can move in with Grandpa. Grandpa can take care of you!"
Crying is a girl's prerogative, and Chu Shumin is so young, it's even more normal for her to cry. Chu Zhehong watched from the side, not intending to say anything.
Is this the answer they wanted? No!
Grandpa Chu's answer was not the answer that Uncle Chu and his family wanted. Instead, he wanted Uncle Chu to sympathize with their current life and then provide them with financial assistance.
Uncle Chu and the others were completely dumbfounded, never expecting that Old Master Chu wouldn't buy into this at all.
Although Old Master Chu gave Chu Yiting all the decision-making power in the company and didn't keep many shares for himself, he still had a lot of money. If he could take it out, it would definitely help him get through the difficulties.
Chu Shumin knew that this time she wasn't going to live with her grandfather, but rather to get money from him for her father. She immediately pleaded with Grandpa Chu, "Grandpa, I don't want to be separated from Mom and Dad. I want to live with them. Please help Dad!"
“Yes, Grandpa, please help Dad out. He’s your son after all!” Chu Zhehong chimed in from the side.
Uncle Chu and Madam Chu lowered their heads, looking as if they knew they were wrong.
"Grandpa, please help Dad! Help Dad get the company back so we won't go hungry!" Chu Shumin continued to cling to Grandpa Chu's arms and act coquettishly.
The surrounding old men couldn't bear to look at the scene and shook their heads helplessly.
They all knew the situation of the Chu family; the eldest and second eldest sons were completely different people.
The eldest son of the Chu family are all chosen ones, while the second son and his family are arrogant, incompetent, and unaware of their own shortcomings. Their recent situation has made them a laughing stock.
Of course, Chu Yiting was also involved, and these old men were well aware of that.
It must be that Uncle Chu did something to offend Chu Yiting. Not only were many of the old employees and executives of the Chu Group wrongly dismissed and sent to work on sewing machines, but even Uncle Chu's company went bankrupt. However, some people never realized that they were no match for this young man, Chu Yiting.
They now understand why Old Master Chu entrusted the entire group to Chu Yiting, a young man, instead of to his second uncle.
After all, these old men's families are all in similar situations, and they try to hand over the reins to the most outstanding younger generation. If they were to hand it over to someone like Uncle Chu, the entire family would probably be ruined.
They could only sympathize with Old Master Chu, who would probably be troubled by this for a long time.
Similarly, who is Old Master Chu?
Having once controlled the entire Chu Group, how could he not see through Chu Shumin and Uncle Chu's schemes?
Uncle Chu couldn't get his help last time, so he sent Chu Shumin and Chu Zhehong over this time to ask for his help.
Grandpa Chu patted Chu Shumin's head, his initial heartache gone, and said in a calm tone, "If you feel that no one is taking care of you, you can come and live with me! Grandpa can take care of you, but there's nothing I can do to help you. Your father evaded taxes and deserves to be punished!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chu and his wife's expressions immediately turned very ugly.
They never expected that, even after all this, Old Master Chu wouldn't help them!
Chu Zhehong was also very angry and resentful towards this grandfather. He and Chu Yiting were both his grandsons, so why didn't his grandfather help them?
If he could, Chu Zhehong really wanted to beat this grandfather up. Why couldn't the second branch of the family get what they deserved?
