Chapter 157: Madam Chu Divorces, Chu Bolin Leaves with Nothing

Chu Li sent Madam Chu back to the Chu family home.

Old Master Chu's expression was terribly ugly.

He raised the cane in his hand high, but when his gaze swept over and saw Cheng Wan, he lowered it again.

"All of you, come in."

He went to the living room.

The atmosphere was stifling.

Old Master Chu stroked the dragon head on his cane and looked at his favorite grandson, "So, the reason you had Qin Yun Shu pose as my granddaughter back then was because she is your father's illegitimate daughter?"

Chu Li: "Yes."

It was just to give her a legitimate identity.

In his youth, Old Master Chu had many lovers and children, but after two sons died due to inheritance disputes, he finally realized how wretched the sins of his youth were.

Therefore, he used iron-fisted methods to arrange for all those illegitimate sons and daughters.

Now, the only children left by his side were the son and daughter, Chu Bolin and Chu Yue.

He strictly restrained them, yet he never expected that an illegitimate daughter would still emerge.

Old Master Chu had a toothache.

"Bolin is already on his way back; we will clarify this matter."

Madam Chu sat to one side coldly, filled with resentment.

Old Master Chu looked at Cheng Wan again and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Cheng Wan did not want to eat; she could not bring herself to like the Chu family.

"You all have matters to handle, I will head back first."

Chu Li's tone softened slightly, "Go to the room and rest."

Cheng Wan pursed her lips, feeling reluctant.

Madam Chu sneered, "Since she is your wife, let her stay here and see just how rotten this family really is."

Old Master Chu's expression turned gloomy for a moment, but he still said, "Wanwan is family, let her stay."

Cheng Wan curled her lips; she had no desire to be this "family."

However, since they didn't mind, she might as well stay and watch the show.

The atmosphere in the living room was sufficiently stifling.

Not until Chu Bolin entered did the air become filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Upon seeing Chu Bolin, Madam Chu stood up abruptly as if seeing an enemy, her face covered in frost.

"You still have the face to come back."

Chu Bolin did not like his wife and had no pleasant tone for her, "You think I wanted to come back?"

"Enough." Old Master Chu glared at them, "What exactly is going on with Qin Yun Shu?"

Chu Bolin's expression stiffened slightly.

He had completely inherited Old Master Chu's philandering nature and had provoked countless women.

He had long forgotten what happened between him and that Lady Qin.

So, he had absolutely no idea how Qin Yun Shu came to be.

Seeing his expression, Madam Chu understood exactly what was going on.

She was furious and lunged at her husband to fight him.

Chu Bolin impatiently pushed her away, "Look at yourself, acting like a tigress; what man could stand you?"

From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on his wife.

Madam Chu staggered and fell to the ground.

Chu Li helped her up, looking at his father coldly.

That gaze was too sharp, and Chu Bolin felt a bit intimidated.

It had to be said that although Zhou Lin was like a madwoman, sensitive and suspicious, she had raised her son very well.

This was also the reason why he had always wanted a divorce but had never forced one.

He still had to rely on his son for his old age.

"A Li, you should also advise your mother not to go crazy at every turn." Chu Bolin patted his clothes, trying to make excuses for himself.

Chu Li sighed softly and asked Madam Chu, "Are you still unwilling to divorce?"

What was the point of insisting on a marriage like this?

She felt suffocated.

He felt equally suppressed.

Madam Chu's lifelong persistence collapsed in this moment.

She clutched her son's arm, looking utterly disheveled.

Chu Bolin, however, was overjoyed, "Yes, yes, yes, you should have advised your mother to divorce long ago."

"She is an outsider after all; once divorced and moved out, I can finally come home to live."

For so many years, the feeling of having a home but being unable to return was truly painful.

Chu Li looked at Cheng Wan, "Wanwan, you and Mother go to the room to rest."

Cheng Wan was unwilling; she and Madam Chu were like fire and water.

Moreover, she was carrying a child in her womb that Madam Chu did not like.

If Madam Chu were to have a "slip of the hand," the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chu Li clearly thought of this, so he arranged for a servant to support Madam Chu instead.

Cheng Wan only then stood up, followed far behind them, and went upstairs.

Turning past the stairs, Madam Chu looked coldly at Chu Li, "Look at this, this is the bloodline of the Chu family, rotten from the root; do you still want to stay and be this Mrs. Chu?"

Just thinking that her son had actually taken in her husband's illegitimate daughter, and even went so far as to bring her into the Chu family under the identity of a foster sister, giving her a life of glory and wealth.

And now, he even wanted her to divorce and drive her out.

Madam Chu felt all hope was lost.

She hated everyone here.

Cheng Wan did not speak; she was only staying to watch the spectacle.

Madam Chu, however, refused to leave; she stared at Cheng Wan's belly, "Why keep such trashy bloodline? They should all just die."

Cheng Wan protected her belly, sensing Madam Chu's madness.

She was not sure if the servants could stop her.

"Have you ever thought about, if you two divorce, who exactly will be the one to leave?"

Cheng Wan really did not want to get involved, but Madam Chu was nothing but angry, and not very bright.

She was afraid Madam Chu would go crazy.

Madam Chu gritted her teeth hard, "Naturally, it would be me."

They carry the surname Chu; only she is an outsider.

Cheng Wan, however, said, "But I think, if you two divorce, the one who leaves will be him."

Madam Chu was stunned, "Impossible."

Cheng Wan understood Chu Li, which was why she dared to say this.

At this moment, a "bang-bang" sound suddenly came from downstairs.

Then came Chu Bolin's exasperated voice, "Chu Li, have you gone mad? You dare hit me."

Answering him was the sound of fists hitting flesh.

And Old Master Chu did not intervene.

Madam Chu froze on the stairs.

She could imagine the scene of Chu Li grabbing Chu Bolin and beating him.

Chu Bolin was still cursing at first, but after a while, only pleas for mercy remained.

A servant reminded her cautiously, "Madam, let's go upstairs."

Madam Chu ignored her and instead rushed down.

Cheng Wan subconsciously held onto the railing, fearing Madam Chu would pull at her.

Madam Chu returned to the living room.

She looked at her son.

There were a few red marks on Chu Li's face.

Clearly, Chu Bolin had also fought back.

Madam Chu covered her mouth and burst into tears.

"A Li."

Chu Li turned his head to look over, his brows furrowed.

Chu Bolin had already climbed up from the ground, looking exceptionally disheveled, and flew into a rage from shame, "Chu Li, have you gone mad? Hitting me for the sake of an outsider."

"Divorce agreement, sign it and get out." Chu Li tossed out a document.

It was just delivered by Assistant Wu, very fresh.

Chu Bolin was very angry, but he could not beat his son, so he could only take the agreement, read it through in a rush, and looked up in disbelief,

"You want me to leave with nothing?"

"Chu Li, I think you really have gone mad."

Since when does a son drive his father out?

"Every month, I will give you ten thousand yuan for living expenses." Chu Li announced expressionlessly.

Ten thousand yuan was already his greatest mercy.

Chu Bolin refused; ten thousand yuan was not even enough for him to open a bottle of wine casually.

Chu Li sneered, "Then you won't get a single cent."

"You..." Chu Bolin was furious, but unable to resist.

Because the heir of the Chu family was Chu Li.

He felt aggrieved.
