Chapter 820: You Can Go Now

Chen Yu was trying hard to maintain his inner calm; he did not know what kind of person Chen Anyi really was.

According to Zhou Laotaijun and Elder Gu, Chen Anyi was the cream of the crop in his generation, extremely capable and bold, and he and his mother had been a loving couple.

Chen Yu did not know what exactly had happened between them back then, but based on the fact that he wanted Chen Yu to forgive him upon their first meeting, that was impossible.

"Is this the attitude you use to talk to your own father?" Chen Anyi smiled, the expression on his face somewhat ferocious: "No matter what, you are still my son."

"What kind of attitude do you want?" Chen Yu was furious; he had seen it the moment Chen Anyi started speaking—Chen Anyi was not a good person.

"At the very least, you should call me Dad." Chen Anyi smiled.

"Don't even think about it." The killing intent on Chen Yu's body surged forth instantly: "Abandoning your family and children, you brought in a mistress to take the top spot when my mother was at her lowest; are you qualified to have me treat you as a father?"

"Whether I am qualified or not, I am." Chen Anyi took out a cigar, lit it, blew a smoke ring, and said with a chuckle: "Don't blame my decision back then; men, you know, no matter how beautiful or intellectual a woman is, there will come a day when they get tired of her."

"What's more, your Aunt Qiu can give me a different feeling; she is obedient to me in every way and always finds ways to please me. We have been married for decades and can still maintain a sense of freshness."

Killing intent suddenly appeared in Chen Yu's eyes; he stared fixedly at Chen Anyi, already moved to anger.

"Your mother is a career-oriented person. She is very capable and very beautiful, but she never understood what I wanted, so it was destined that we would reach this point," Chen Anyi continued.

A figure flashed, and Chen Yu grabbed Chen Anyi by the throat, lifting his entire body up; he had already developed the intent to kill.

Qiu Yanfang in the Bentley was taken aback; she moved her hand, intending to call for people, but after a moment of thought, she stopped her actions.

She sat back down, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth; she wanted to see if Chen Yu would really kill his own biological father.

"I am your... father, do you... dare to commit patricide?" Chen Anyi, being held up entirely by Chen Yu, was not afraid in the least.

The killing intent in Chen Yu's eyes slowly receded, and he threw Chen Anyi onto the ground.

Chen Anyi coughed violently, his face turning pale as he gasped for a long time.

After a long while, he stood up and said, out of breath: "Heh, good lad, is this the welcome gift you give me? Growing up among the common folk really is different."

"All these years, have you not felt the slightest bit of guilt?" Chen Yu's eyes were bloodshot.

"Guilt? It doesn't exist." Chen Anyi smiled: "Go back and tell your mother that without her, I am still living very well. If I could do it all over again, I would still choose 'her'."

After saying this, Chen Anyi turned and walked away slowly; he entered the Bentley, and the car drove off slowly.

"Were you deliberately provoking him?" In the Bentley, Qiu Yanfang giggled: "Chen Anyi, you said if you could do it all over again, you would still choose me? Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. No matter how things are now, the initial memories you left me with were beautiful," Chen Anyi said slowly.

The effect of the medicine had worn off; his previously spirited image no longer existed. He panted, his voice cracking as he spoke, looking like someone long plagued by illness.

"You saw him today?" In the villa, He Lingyun was startled to hear Chen Yu's report.

"I saw him," Chen Yu said.

"How is he now?" He Lingyun gripped a pen in her hand, her expression tense.

"He looks like he's doing very well," Chen Yu said: "He said if he could choose again, he would still choose her..."

"Heh, no matter how good a woman is, she ultimately cannot compare to a vixen," He Lingyun smiled.

"I don't think that's right. The 'her' he spoke of didn't refer to Qiu Yanfang, but to you," Chen Yu said.

"Why would you have such a thought?" He Lingyun looked up abruptly.

"Because that is the feeling he gave me," Chen Yu said: "Even though he put on an act of not caring about us, I could feel it."

"What is he really like now? Tell me in detail," He Lingyun asked.

"He looks the same as the person in the photos from decades ago, a bit older, but still full of spirit," Chen Yu said: "He is injured."

"Injured?" He Lingyun raised her head.

"You can tell from his manner of speaking and his breath; his lungs have been injured, and it's very serious," Chen Yu said: "Also, he had taken medicine before meeting me, because based on my understanding of his injuries, if he hadn't taken medicine, it would have been impossible for him to maintain that spirit."

"He was injured? I never knew about this all these years," He Lingyun murmured: "What exactly happened between him and Qiu Yanfang?"

"I'm not sure, but I will use my own methods to investigate," Chen Yu said: "And the feeling Qiu Yanfang gives me now is that she is the true Head of Family of the Chen Family. Think about it carefully; although he has been the Head of Family on the surface all these years, how long has it been since he appeared in public?"

"A long time," He Lingyun pondered: "I remember the last time he appeared was many years ago. In recent years, he hasn't shown his face at any important Chen Family occasions; most matters are handled by Qiu Yanfang."

"Who exactly is Qiu Yanfang?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "The feeling she gives me is that she controls everything. If the Chen Family is controlled by her now, then what exactly happened in between?"

"I will have Mu Xi focus on investigating this. I only heard that Chen Anyi has been obsessed with antiques all these years and has become a wreck, but I really don't know what's going on," He Lingyun's expression turned serious.

Although she hated Chen Anyi for abandoning her when she was at her most difficult and vulnerable, she still wanted to figure out what had happened to Chen Anyi all these years.

"I will also find a way to investigate," Chen Yu nodded.

"The latest news from Fengling came in today. Look, this is your daughter, Yushan," He Lingyun took out a tablet and pulled up a video.

Chen Yu was stunned and hurriedly took the tablet. He saw that Chen Yushan in the video was already able to sit up, sitting among a pile of toys and babbling as she learned to speak.

"Is she already this big?" Chen Yu stared blankly at his daughter, a strange emotion surging in his heart; he felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

"She's already half a year old," He Lingyun smiled: "We have been keeping an eye on her situation; the mother and daughter are doing very well now."

"How is she now?" Mentioning Ye Xinyu, Chen Yu sighed inwardly, wondering how she was doing now.

"Quite well. And the background of the nanny hired by her family has been checked; there are no problems at all. I want to go to Fengling with you to see the child after I finish being busy with this period," He Lingyun said.
