Chapter 721: Sisters-in-law Dispute

In Goat City, in the villa of Patriarch Chu, two dignified middle-aged women were speaking softly on the sofa, their faces grave.

Elder sister-in-law, how do you think we should handle this?

Shuhua, things came too suddenly; I'm feeling confused too. Let's wait until the patriarch comes out to discuss it…

Elder sister-in-law, I think you should go to Modu and properly do some ideological work on Min Min.

Modu, I will definitely go. But how should I do this ideological work? Min Min already had a failed marriage; letting her divorce again—is that appropriate? Moreover, she's pregnant!

But what about my Chu Ning? She's been hiding at home all day, not seeing anyone. If she finds out about this, I really worry she'll have a mental breakdown.

Shuhua, this can't be blamed on Min Min, right? Back then you insisted Chu Ning marry into the Tang family.

Elder sister-in-law, I misjudged; I didn't expect the Tang family boy's private life to be so chaotic. But Chen Yang is after all Chu Ning's ex-boyfriend—how could Min Min get together with him so quickly…

Shuhua, you're being a bit excessive. It was your Chu Ning who abandoned him, so Min Min ended up with him. She hasn't done anything shameful.

Elder sister-in-law, I'm not saying Min Min is bad. I just think there are so many good men out there; she doesn't need to seek Chen Yang.

Shuhua, although I haven't met Chen Yang, I've heard a bit about his situation. This kid comes from an ordinary background but is very ambitious; he became the domestic richest at a young age. As long as he treats Min Min well, I personally support him.

Elder sister-in-law, that boy's private life is very complicated; Min Min won't be happy with him.

If Min Min won't be happy with him, would Chu Ning be happy with him?

Elder sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I didn't mean Min Min should give Chen Yang to Chu Ning; I just don't want him to have any ties with the Chu family.

Shuhua, what do you mean by that? Does Chu Ning's unhappiness mean our Min Min must also be unhappy?

Elder sister-in-law, I didn't mean that…

Enough, you exactly mean that!

Just as their emotions grew more agitated, Patriarch Chu's figure slowly walked out of the study.

Early in the morning, what are you two arguing about?

Patriarch, Min Min secretly married Chen Yang and even had a child. Do you know about this?

Patriarch Chu frowned, slightly displeased, and said to his second daughter-in-law: 'Shuhua, joking with me like this early in the morning—you seem quite idle lately!'

The woman named Shuhua immediately said: 'Patriarch, I'm not joking with you; ask the elder sister-in-law if you don't believe me.'

Patriarch Chu heard this and turned to his eldest daughter-in-law: 'Zhishan, did Min Min really marry that boy?'

'Patriarch, I only just found out about this by calling Tianhe,' Wang Zhishan replied softly.

That Chen Yang… Patriarch Chu sighed. He actually knew from the start that Chu Min couldn't resist temptation, but despite all his precautions he still failed to stop it. Now that the rice is cooked, breaking up the mandarin ducks would be inappropriate.

Zhishan, go to Modu and call them both back for me.

'Patriarch, you know Min Min's condition—she can't take any more stimulation!' Wang Zhishan looked at Patriarch Chu anxiously.

Patriarch Chu certainly understood his eldest daughter-in-law's thoughts, sighed and said: 'Don't worry, I have it in mind!'

Wang Zhishan still uneasy, seriously asked Patriarch Chu: 'How do you plan to deal with Chen Yang?'

Patriarch Chu snorted coldly: 'This brat has toyed with my two precious granddaughters; if I don't break one of his legs, I can't quell the hatred in my heart!'

Wang Zhishan hearing this, rather dissatisfied, said: 'Patriarch, even if Chen Yang has great faults, he is now your son-in-law. Breaking his leg—would you have Min Min spend her life with a disabled man?'

Patriarch Chu immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Zhou Shuhua from the side interjected: 'Patriarch, Chen Yang's love life is too complicated; Min Min being with him won't end well. Let's just separate them!'

Wang Zhishan hearing this, angrily said: 'Shuhua, you're being too selfish. Chu Ning's situation isn't caused by Min Min—why should she also be unhappy?'

Zhou Shuhua immediately said: 'Elder sister-in-law, that's not how to put it. Chu Ning's situation may be unrelated to Min Min, but Chen Yang surely bears some responsibility, right?'

Wang Zhishan snorted coldly: 'Shuhua, you originally favored the Tang family more, insisting on breaking up the mandarin ducks. Now you're pushing the blame onto Chen Yang—aren't you being too bullying?'

Seeing Wang Zhishan angry, Zhou Shuhua softened her tone: 'Elder sister-in-law, Chen Yang is ultimately an outsider; we are family. There's no need to harm harmony over him, right?'

Wang Zhishan hearing that, burst out laughing angrily: 'Shuhua, Chen Yang is now Min Min's legal husband, a proper son-in-law of the Chu family. If he's an outsider, then we two are outsiders too!'

Zhou Shuhua stared for a moment, not expecting her slip of the tongue to have implicated herself as well.

'Alright, stop arguing.' Patriarch Chu said with a grim face: 'First call them back; I know what to do!'

Seeing Patriarch Chu angry, Wang Zhishan and Zhou Shuhua could only temporarily cease the argument.

At the same time, Chen Yang, who was discussing cooperation at Baolin Logistics, was urgently summoned back to Tangchenyipin.

What surprised him was that, besides Chu Min, there was also Wang Tianhe, who should have been handling affairs at the municipal government.

'Uncle, it's not yet break time; you, the esteemed mayor, left early. If this gets out, the impact won't be good!'

'Hmph, kid, disaster's looming and you still have the mood to tease me.' Wang Tianhe gave Chen Yang an annoyed eye-roll.

'What's wrong? Is there a problem with one of my investments?' Seeing the grim faces of Wang Tianhe and Chu Min, Chen Yang suddenly became inexplicably tense.

Wang Tianhe sighed and said to Chen Yang: 'That Tang family brat sold you out! My sister, your mother-in-law, will come to Modu tonight. Maybe even Patriarch Chu will come over. You're on your own!'

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang instantly got a headache. Although he had mentally prepared, when this day suddenly arrived he still felt panicky.

'Uncle, is my mother-in-law usually easy to get along with?'

Wang Tianhe suddenly fell into sad recollections; after a while he murmured: 'I was beaten by her since I was small and grew up that way. As for you, it's hard to say.'

Chen Yang couldn't help but shudder. Even the esteemed Deputy Mayor of Modu, Wang Tianhe, could be left with a shadow from being beaten. He concealed the affair, got Chu Min pregnant, and secretly obtained the certificate; the outcome might be even worse.
