Not long after Chu Mo returned to the Imperial Capital, Chen Rui, as if she had caught a whiff of a dog's scent, had Chen Anbang take her to Chu Mo's parents' house.
Wang Man, Chu Mo's mother, was wearing a dark green cheongsam and a pearl necklace. She was carrying a bag and was about to go out when Chen Anbang arrived with Chen Rui.
Chen Anbang: "Aunt Wang, I'm so sorry for your sudden visit. I've brought my sister here to apologize."
Chen Rui was dressed in a Chanel-style suit today, looking very well-behaved, and said sweetly, "Hello, Aunt Wang."
"An apology?" Wang Man asked, somewhat surprised. "Please come in first."
Upon entering the living room of the Chu residence, Chu Mo happened to be coming downstairs. His brows furrowed when he saw Chen Rui, and he said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Butler, see her out."
Wang Man had never seen her son so angry before, and she was quite surprised. What had the Chen Family's daughter done to make her son so angry?
Chen Rui lowered her head, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears. Her voice was still trembling with sobs as she said, " Brother Chu Mo, I've come to apologize. I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me. I promise I'll be good from now on and won't make you angry again, okay?"
Wang Man: Huh?! What does this mean? My son is dating the Chen Family's daughter? This won't do! A boy can't be so petty. How can he make a girl bow her head and apologize?
Chen Rui said that on purpose. If Wang Man accepted her existence, how could Chu Mo not listen to his parents? Ji Nanshu, a man, why should he be with her Brother Chu Mo!
Chen Anbang saw that his younger sister had spoken, so he didn't say anything.
Chu Mo glanced indifferently at Chen Rui, who was putting on an act. "Make me angry? You're not worthy. Besides, the person you should apologize to isn't me, so don't put on airs in front of me."
Chen Anbang: " Brother Chu, Xiao Rui has realized her mistake..."
Chu Mo interrupted, "If she realizes her mistake, she should apologize to Nanshu, not come to my house to apologize to me."
Before Chen Rui could say anything more, Chu Mo interjected, " Miss Chen, do you think that what you did was completely undetected?"
"W-what?!" Chen Rui was startled. Just as she was trying to figure out which mess Chu Mo hadn't cleaned up properly so that he could find out, she heard Chu Mo call out, " Butler Qin, see the guest out."
Butler Qin: "Yes, young master."
Then, Butler Qin escorted Chen Rui and Chen Anbang out. Before they left, Chu Mo said, " Anbang, we welcome you. But Chen Rui is out of the picture."
Chen Rui, who had been kicked out, was seething with anger! She had originally planned to have her brother bring her to the Chu family to apologize. After all, the Chen and Chu families had no enmity, and out of respect for her brother and the Chen Family family, they certainly wouldn't be so disrespectful. She could stay at the Chu Family a little longer, and then find a time to give Chu Mo the drug that Xu Quan had given her last time. Wouldn't that solve everything?
But who knew that Chu Mo would really not give him any face at all!
After the Chen Family siblings left, Wang Man asked, " Zaizai, what exactly happened?"
This doesn't sound like he's dating a girl from the Chen Family!
Chu Mo felt a headache coming on when he heard his mother address him like that. "Mom, I'm twenty-seven already, can you please stop calling me that?"
Wang Man: "What's wrong with Twenty-Seven? Twenty-Seven is also a child from my belly! Stop trying to change the subject with your mother, hurry up and tell me what's going on between you and the Chen Family family girl? You scumbed to that girl? And now you want her to apologize to you?"
Mother Wang's face was practically screaming "gossip."
"... I'm not familiar with Chen Rui." Chu Mo helplessly.
"Then hurry up and tell me! Your little brother will be out of school soon, I have to go pick him up!" Mother Wang was extremely anxious. Her eldest son was precocious and had been able to take care of himself since he was little, which made her feel no sense of accomplishment as a mother. That's why she had her second son. As a result, her second son was a free spirit who was studying abroad and traveling all over the world during his holidays. She was lucky if she could see him twice a year.
So when Chu Mo was twenty-two, she gave birth to her third child, and thankfully the third child was well-behaved!
Chu Mo explained, " Chen Rui threatened your daughter-in-law, telling her to leave me. Chen Rui also falsely accused your daughter-in-law of molesting her!"
Oh, then I really should apologize. Wait, I should apologize to my daughter-in-law... wait, daughter-in-law?!
The Mother Wang's CPU burned out, and her son is dating?! His girlfriend molested another girl?!
Wang Man grabbed her eldest son. "You're in a relationship?! No, wait, why would my daughter-in-law assault a woman?"
"Your daughter-in-law is a man." Chu Mo sighed. No wonder he said his mother was a 2G enthusiast. Not only was she completely uninterested in entertainment news, but she didn't even care about his news.
"A man?!" Oh no, a man?! His son is gay?! But he hasn't told his family in the past twenty-odd years. Will his dad break his legs if he finds out?
Mother Wang called over Butler Qin: " Butler Qin! Go and pick up the third son today."
"Yes, madam."
Wang Man: " Zaizai, tell me clearly what happened! I've heard this industry is very chaotic, don't get scammed!"
Chu Mo: "When the Ji Family son was found, you and Dad were on vacation and couldn't make it back."
Wang Man looked bewildered. "Huh? It's because we didn't have time... does it matter?"
"Yes, your daughter-in-law is Aunt Ming's youngest son."
!!!
Wang Man grabbed her bag and was about to go next door when Chu Mo pulled her back. "Mom, you'll scare him if you go like that."
"Then you'd better bring your daughter-in-law back right away!" Wang Man was very anxious. She was surprised that her eldest son had found a boyfriend, but she was more worried about being beaten up by the boy's father.
"No, no, your dad doesn't know about this. If he's not prepared, he'll be furious!"
Chu Mo rubbed his forehead. "I guess Dad already knew."
After all, the day Ji Nanshu returned Ji Family, he climbed over the wall and went out. When he returned, his father was standing in the yard with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He thought his dad would scold him, but instead he just pretended not to know anything and took his mom out to play.
"Huh?! You mean this old man already knew?!" Wang Man's anger instantly reached its peak. Hey, this old man really deserves a beating!!
"Then bring my daughter-in-law back!"
"Mom..."
"I don't care! You two, father and son, were just hiding this from me, weren't you?!"
"Mom, it's me too!" This was Chu Family's third son, a chubby little boy of only five years old, who had just returned home.
Chu Rui grabbed Chu Mo's leg and cried out, "Big brother! I want to see sister-in-law too!"
Chu Mo picked up Chu Rui: "I'll ask him."
Wang Man: "..."
So she's the only one who doesn't know anything?! A bunch of unfilial children!! Bah!
Ah, yesterday I was so under scrutiny that I even considered opening an account at the flower market, but then I thought better of it—what if I got caught?
