Chapter 327: Remind Shang Hongxue

It was evening.

Chen Chuyang and Long Ming walked out, but Long Ming still didn't give his father a good look.

Chen Chen and Chen Shen shoved aside the elder brother, went to welcome their elder sister-in-law back, and the two simultaneously turned back, giving Chen Chuyang an awesome look; still, the nephew Chuyang was reliable, while their elder brother was truly useless.

Back then they still dared to say my nephew Chuyang had no talent and was hopeless, but now they've been slapped in the face, right?

In front of my nephew Chuyang, you as a father are not even qualified.

With this comparison, isn't the gap now clear?

Chen Yuan followed helplessly behind; his stature shrank, and he was no longer as imposing.

That night, the Chen Clan returned to normal.

The next day, the elder brother returned.

Yes, the elder brother who had been missing for a long time happened to return; this timing was just too perfect, to say there's no problem is unbelievable; this elder brother's ability to avoid misfortune and seek fortune is truly awesome—at critical moments he disappears, and after settling things he returns immediately, acting like the parents' precious treasure.

Chen Chuyang looked at the elder brother, who pulled Chen Chuyang aside and whispered, "Chuyang, you must not betray me; this is a good thing the elder brother gives you."

Speaking, he began to stuff hush money into Chen Chuyang; these were all the good things he had obtained during this period, all given to Chen Chuyang—part to repay debts, part as a gift to Chen Chuyang.

"The remaining money, the elder brother will repay you later; if you want anything, just tell me, the elder brother guarantees to satisfy you."

Painting grand plans, Chen Chusheng was also in on it; as long as Chen Chuyang didn't talk nonsense, he knew his actions couldn't be hidden from the second brother; during this time he deliberately took a mission to leave the Chen Clan, just in time to avoid the clan's most terrifying period; actually he had already completed the mission, didn't return to the Chen Clan, but chose to take refuge elsewhere.

Observing the Chen Clan's every move, he didn't want to meddle in his parents' affairs, nor become his father's scapegoat; he knew his own abilities and knew he couldn't handle it; staying away was the correct choice—let him wait until the second brother came down the mountain, and this matter was preliminarily resolved.

As for him, he could return home in peace, no need to hide.

"Elder brother, rest assured, I won't talk nonsense."

Chen Chuyang accepted it without showing emotion; although the elder brother's gift wasn't much, it was still his heartfelt intention.

As a younger brother, how could I let the elder brother lose face?

After receiving the things, both felt relieved; Chen Chusheng couldn't help but smile.

In the whole household, only they were smiling; the father remained as before, a bit better than yesterday.

The Chen Clan entered the right track; actually there was no problem between mother and father, just lacking a step down; Chen Chuyang guaranteed that Hu Yueer would not enter the Chen Clan, and those two children would not return to the Chen Clan, giving the mother advance assurance.

The father's idea, Chen Chuyang directly cut off, not letting this happen, and let them stay on Longshe Shan.

The Chen Clan must not be chaotic, nor allow outsiders to join.

All members of the Chen Clan think this way; it's impossible to give outsiders a chance.

This way we can cut off all the father's fantasies; with Chen Chuyang's nod, the other Chen Clan members naturally won't refuse.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle naturally agree with this; the Chen Clan can do without Elder Brother Chen Yuan, but cannot lose the elder sister-in-law and nephew Chuyang; Chen Chuyang is the Chen Clan's backbone and the source of its rise—how could it be affected by Chen Yuan's mistake?

Second Uncle and Third Uncle, having heard this, firmly stood on Long Ming's side.

This matter was thus settled; the father had nothing to say, could only nod.

"Mother, there's nothing at home; I want to return to Longshe Shan."

Having been down the mountain for a long time, Shang Hongxue will worry; Longshe Shan also needs him to hold the fort, nothing must go wrong.

Long Ming repeatedly urged his son to stay, not wanting his son to leave, but Chen Chuyang insisted repeatedly.

In the afternoon, Chen Chuyang left the Chen Clan.

After he left, the Chen Clan returned to its old state.

Chen Chen and Chen Shen went straight home to rest, not wanting to stay here and disturb the elder brother and his wife.

On Longshe Shan.

Shang Hongxue welcomed her Chuyang older brother back, coming to meet him.

She clung to Chen Chuyang; not seeing him for a day, she missed him dearly.

"Chuyang older brother, I miss you so much."

"Alright, come down quickly, don't let others laugh at you."

This girl is very bold, paying no attention to her appearance.

Many people are here.

Several pairs of glances shifted away; everyone looked at them, also envying Shang Hongxue, who could act shamelessly anytime, anywhere, doing those embarrassing moves.

As for that hugging motion, they couldn't do it.

Hu Yueer curiously sized them up, her eyes flashing with envy.

Chen Li and Chen Hu blinked, curiously watching this scene.

Their eyes were soon covered by Hu Yueer, preventing them from continuing to watch—not suitable for children.

Zhang Nongqian glanced, feeling envious; she quickly lowered her head to work, so Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue wouldn't notice her envy; this girl loved seeing such scenes and also envied Shang Hongxue and Chen Chuyang's relationship—how great.

Such affection is what she yearned for; unfortunately she had never seen it, her parents, she… had never witnessed this scene.

As she grew up, she learned many things; especially after arriving at Longshe Shan, she instantly matured.

"Chuyang older brother, is the matter settled?"

"Settled."

Chen Chuyang pulled Shang Hongxue up the mountain, returned to their dwelling, then told her some details.

After listening, Shang Hongxue blinked.

"Chuyang older brother, are they really staying on Longshe Shan and not returning to the Chen Clan?"

"Right, this matter is settled like that, little girl; you need to be on guard, not trust them too much."

Shang Hongxue raised her head, somewhat puzzled.

"Chuyang older brother, they are your relatives, with Chen Clan blood flowing in them; aren't they trustworthy?"

Chen Chuyang shook his head: "Better to be careful; after all, they aren't human, and they seem to hide secrets."

That woman Hu Yueer has many unsaid words; Chen Chuyang didn't ask, but they surely hide stories.

She doesn't trust herself; likewise, Chen Chuyang also doesn't trust them.

If it weren't for the Chen Clan blood flowing in those two little foxes, Chen Chuyang wouldn't agree to let them stay on Longshe Shan.

In short, we must watch them and also remind Shang Hongxue: this lass is too kind and naive, she cannot be allowed to be hurt by them.

This is what Chen Chuyang least wants to happen.

Holding Shang Hongxue, Chen Chuyang couldn't bear to see her harmed.

"I know, Brother Chuyang, I'll be careful."

Shang Hongxue clenched her fists and said aloud: "I'm quite smart; I won't be taken in by them, nor will I be deceived."

"Good, good, good, my lass is the smartest; she definitely won't be used."

"Hehehe."

Shang Hongxue showed a toothy grin, her face full of innocence.

Chen Chuyang seized the opportunity to hold this lass, then...
