Chu’s father, who had been stiff, suddenly snapped out of his daze, quickly bent down to pull out a chair for Chu’s mother to sit down, and casually brushed away the broken pieces of porcelain on the table, wiping the tea stains clean with a napkin…
Chu’s father’s series of movements was as smooth and natural as flowing water, but from beginning to end, his face was full of malice, as if someone owed him billions, and he didn’t even say a word.
Shutong stared in disbelief, even wanting to rub her eyes to see if she was hallucinating from being frightened by Chu’s father.
Although Chu’s father looked very fierce, just now he had acted like a sycophant.
“What are you doing here?” Chu’s father was still standing beside Chu’s mother. His voice was low, but still loud, and sounded very impolite.
“You insulted my son, so what do you think I’m doing here? And what did Tongtong do to offend you? Who are you insulting with these things?” Chu’s mother pointed expressionlessly to the envelopes on the table.
Chu’s father opened his mouth, quickly glanced at Shutong, then his gaze returned to Chu’s mother’s face, becoming very complicated.
“You’ve seen her? When? Didn’t you say you wanted a daughter-in-law who was of equal social standing, who could help Chu Fan, and who could stand on her own?”
Chu’s father’s voice grew softer and softer, finally carrying a hint of grievance.
Chu’s mother: “Did I say that?”
Chu’s father: “…Ah, um, no?”
His memory wasn’t that bad, especially since it came from her mouth. He would remember everything she said. He even remembered that half a year ago, after she said those words, she took a lot of information about socialites and gave it to Chu Fan.
Chu’s mother: “I didn’t say that.”
Chu’s father: “…Hmm.”
Chu’s mother continued to maintain her aloof demeanor: “Don’t bully Tongtong.”
Chu’s father glanced at Shutong again, then quickly looked away: “I didn’t…”
“…”
Shutong pinched her palm, her eyes blank as she accepted the persona of Chu’s father.
Oh, his nemesis is Chu’s mother.
But just now, he was scolding Chu Fan for ruining his future and disgracing the family because of a woman. Now he’s like this…
He’s not much better.
“Sit down first.” Chu Fan led Shutong to the sofa.
He frowned as he asked, “Were you scared?”
Shutong shook her head, then nodded, still staring in the direction of his parents: “It’s alright, it’s just… your dad…”
Chu Fan’s eyes flickered, and finally, he sighed softly and said in a low voice, “They are divorced.”
Shutong found it unbelievable.
Chu Fan continued, “My dad has a bad temper. I should say that, except in front of my mom, he always acts like a domineering boss in front of everyone else. When I was born, he first left me with a nanny, and when I was three, he sent me to various places to toughen me up. My mom felt that he treated me badly, so she divorced him.”
For nearly ten years, Chu’s father hadn’t been able to win Chu’s mother back. However, the news had not spread, so in other people’s eyes, Chu’s mother was still the matriarch of the Chu family.
Shutong remained silent, but her eyes brightened slightly.
What a unique family!
But… This couple is kind of adorable!!
At this moment, Chu’s father looked like a wronged little wife. Although he still couldn’t control his cold and fierce expression, he no longer had that volatile and violent temper.
The woman in the cheongsam maintained her elegant posture, but her mouth opened and closed faster and faster, eventually turning into a nagging chatter, her complaints never ceasing—
“Chu Yiqiang, can’t you be a little more mature? Xiao Fan has his own life; don’t worry about him so much. Tongtong is a nice girl. What are you doing here? Do you think you’re so great just because you have some money? Don’t I have any? And you’re yelling at Xiao Fan? You’re insulting his mother; isn’t that insulting me? Chu Yiqiang, tell me, you’ve been disliking me for a long time, haven’t you? Even after the divorce, you still want to curse me…”
Chu’s father simply listened to what Chu’s mother said, and eventually he simply pulled up a chair and started making tea while listening, sometimes even chiming in with a self-deprecating remark…
Shutong, chin in hand, watched with great interest.
Seeing the barely suppressed smile on her lips, Chu Fan’s chill vanished instantly, and a smile spread across his face.
“Can’t you ship the Orange CP?”
Shutong: “…”
Actually, she had shipped herself and Chu Fan as a CP, and even watched all the sweet clips edited by the CP fans, but it was a bit shameful to talk about it, so she wouldn’t say it out loud.
