Chapter 197 The Road to Wealth
Although the two families have a long-standing relationship, Chu's father is a younger generation after all, and how can their business compete with Jiang Yue's?
He quickly grabbed his angry daughter-in-law and said with a smile:
"Uncle Shi, regarding the relationship between our two families, is there anything that cannot be said directly?"
Chu's father was also the one who grew up and started a family and took over the business under the care of his grandfather. Because his father and he were comrades-in-arms, they would support and help this younger generation whenever they could.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the other party to bring his daughter to his home so often since she was young. This means he has designated her as his granddaughter-in-law.
What a pity, alas...it's all about fate.
Originally, they didn't want to make things too awkward. After all, the two families were involved in many projects. Once they fell out, it would be a disaster for the Chu family, and the Shi family would also suffer heavy losses.
"Just consider that your Fanyi and our Ayue are not suitable for each other, and this matter ends here!"
Chu's mother did not understand why her father gave in. She felt that her daughter was being abandoned. If the news got out, how would people outside view her daughter?
She was not young when she gave birth to this daughter. She was almost afraid of dropping her daughter if she held her daughter in her hands, and afraid of melting her daughter if she held her daughter in her mouth. Shi Yue was the only one worthy of her daughter, both in terms of family background and appearance. More importantly, her daughter liked Shi Yue!
"If you knew it was inappropriate from the beginning, why did you still create this kind of news? Now let us clarify. Aren't you just stomping on our Fanyi's face?"
Mr. Shi had never been contradicted like this by anyone before, not even his own son. But this woman, who had already made concessions, was still trying to take advantage of him.
Then don't blame him for being rude.
Master Shi stood up angrily, and Chu's father quickly stood up and pulled Chu's mother, who was sitting as steady as a rock, to apologize to Master Shi.
"Uncle Shi, she is ignorant. Please don't argue with her."
Mother Chu shook off Father Chu's hand and said, "It's your business if you want to be humble and submissive. Our Fanyi is so good, why should she accept such filth!"
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, the old man looked back. His sharp eyes frightened Chu's father. He knew very well that this old man at the top of the hierarchy would not tolerate disobedience.
Just when Chu's mother was about to say something, she started to talk again, "If this matter is over, then we have to clarify that it was our Fanyi who didn't like Shi Yue. After all, the photo was taken at our house, and it was your Shi Yue who came to our house!"
This really touched Mr. Shi's back. He turned around slowly and said, "I originally wanted to save some dignity with your family, but it seems that no one wants it."
Chu's mother was also a popular figure in the Chamber of Commerce, and she had long forgotten that the old man in front of her was not a kind-hearted person.
Father Chu had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and walked in front of Old Master Shi. "Uncle Shi, you watched me grow up. The relationship between our two families is special. Please don't be angry. I will make a clarification according to your wishes."
"How dare you? I won't let you sacrifice your daughter just to curry favor with others!"
Father Chu couldn't stand it any longer. This stupid thing was really going to be killed by her today. "If you say anything again, get out of here!"
When Chu's mother saw her husband's gloomy face, she wanted to argue a little, but when she saw that the other party was not joking, she shut up reluctantly.
Master Shi glanced at Chu's father and decided to give them a hint to prevent them from persisting and doing something to damage A Yue's reputation.
"Don't think that what you do abroad is invisible to the gods. As long as you do it, God will see it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of a teacup breaking was heard from the room upstairs, followed by the sound of a door closing.
Chu's mother was shocked and ran upstairs without caring about anything else. Chu's father also looked unhappy and respectfully sent Old Man Shi away.
When Chu's mother entered the house, she saw her precious daughter hiding behind the door. In front of her was a pool of water stains and broken glass. She carefully used her shoes to push away the broken glass.
He led Chu Fanyi out of the original room and went to the guest room next door. Chu Fanyi pursed her lips tightly, with a gloomy look on her face.
Chu's mother was a little worried. She sat beside her and gently stroked her hair. "My dear, you are not hurt anywhere just now, are you? Let me take a look, okay?"
Chu Fanyi was shaking with anger and questioned Chu's mother, "Didn't you say that everything had been dealt with? Why did Grandpa know about it? If he knew everything, then Brother Yue must have known about it too."
She was enveloped in a huge panic. When she thought that Shi Yue knew about her affairs, she was terrified and spoke more and more rudely to her mother.
Chu's mother quickly explained, "I did handle it all. Maybe the Shi family investigated it specially, otherwise they would never have found it. The Shi family is so despicable that they actually investigated you!"
Chu Fanyi stood up and walked back and forth in front of Chu's mother. Chu's father dragged his tired body upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, Chu Fanyi rushed forward and grabbed his arm.
"Dad, go tell Grandpa Shi right away that this is not true. I must marry Shi Yue. He is the only one I want!"
Father Chu looked at his crazy daughter in front of him and was angry at her for not fighting back!
“Pah——”
A loud slap knocked Chu Fanyi's head off balance. Mother Chu screamed and pushed Father Chu away.
"You are crazy, why did you hit our daughter!"
Father Chu pointed at Chu Fanyi speechlessly, "Who do you think the Shi family is? You can marry anyone you want? Ah——"
Chu Fanyi covered her face with her hands and looked at her father blankly, "It's obviously possible...if they don't check what I did abroad..."
"And you said——"
When Mr. Chu thought about how all his years of hard work had gone to waste, he became so angry that he wanted to slap her again.
Chu's mother was afraid that he would attack again, so she quickly held her daughter in her arms.
"If you hit the child again, I will never let you go!"
Father Chu looked tiredly at the two mother and daughter in front of him and smiled helplessly;
"You know that if you want to enter the Shi family, we Chu family are not qualified. It is because of the friendship between your grandfather and you that the Shi family looks up to you. It is also because of your last name Chu that you were able to enter the Shi family since you were a child and build a relationship with Shi Yue as a childhood friend."
"Do you think that the mistress of the house at that time just needed to be pretty like your mother?"
Chu's mother was furious. "Mr. Chu, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? It's all your fault. A loving mother spoils her child. She couldn't study, but you let her do what she wanted. After a long time, the Shi family saw that our daughter was just a pretty face, but a complete fool inside. Even with such a good family background and atmosphere, she couldn't keep up with Shi Yue. I was afraid that she would be seen as a fool, so I hurriedly sent her abroad."
"At least distance brings beauty. I also hope that you can cultivate yourself and restrain your personality while abroad."
"As long as you stay abroad and come back at the right age, with the Shi family's friendship for us, the marriage between the two families will be a natural thing. Facts have proved that everything I did was right. The only change was you, a lonely girl! You destroyed the road to wealth that I paved for you with your own hands!"
