Chapter 182: Madam Chu

Cheng Wan spoke bluntly.

Qin Yunshu's tears flowed as she said defiantly, "You're right, he got hurt because of me, so it's only right that I take care of him; you can leave now."

"Enough." Chu Li scolded Qin Yunshu in a deep voice, "This is no place for you to speak."

Qin Yunshu felt very aggrieved, "Brother."

Chu Li ignored her, his dark eyes fixed only on Cheng Wan, "Wanwan, come here."

Cheng Wan did not move.

Chu Li looked at Cheng Han, "Take Yun Shu and leave."

Cheng Han walked over, glanced at Cheng Wan, and then dragged Qin Yunshu away.

Qin Yunshu struggled a bit and shouted at Cheng Wan, "I am his sister, it is only natural for him to help me; there is no need for you to put on such a face, as if we have wronged you so much..."

Her voice gradually faded away, finally disappearing outside the hospital room.

Cheng Wan still wore the same expression, as if looking at a stranger.

Chu Li braced his arms to sit up, "Yesterday, after Yun Shu found out Lin Qingya had returned to the Cheng Family, she argued with Cheng Han and ran out."

He explained, his condition looking rather poor.

"She was too sad and upset, which is why she called me."

"She is my sister; I cannot just leave her be."

Cheng Wan walked to the bedside and looked at Chu Li's pale face; there were several abrasions on his face, and he looked quite disheveled.

But what did these injuries have to do with her?

"Chu Li, she is your sister, and you risking your life to save her is your own business, but you shouldn't have let me be the one to take care of you just because she got into trouble, should you?"

She stated the facts very calmly.

Her tone didn't even fluctuate.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry." Chu Li felt lingering fear in his heart as well.

The moment the car skidded, his mind was filled with the image of Cheng Wan; he thought, if he died today, what would Cheng Wan do?

What would their child do?

Fortunately, heaven blessed him, and his car only flipped onto its side.

He was now filled with the joy of having survived a disaster.

His eyes were full of tenderness as he watched her quietly.

"Chu Li." Cheng Wan laughed in anger; she crossed her arms and looked at the man, "You're right, she is your sister, your most important person, while I and the child are just your pastime."

Something to tease when you remember it, then cast aside.

Chu Li reached out a finger to hook Cheng Wan's hand, "I really know I was wrong, Wanwan, I promise, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety in the future."

Cheng Wan avoided his touch, "Chu Li, this has nothing to do with me; you know, I stopped having expectations of you a long time ago."

She glanced at her phone, "There are still things to do at the studio, I'm leaving first."

She left without a hint of reluctance.

Chu Li's raised hand dropped, his chest aching uncomfortably.

He really knew he was wrong.

Cheng Wan stood in the hallway, suppressing the bitterness in her eyes.

Even if Chu Li had died for Qin Yunshu, it would have been his own choice; he would have deserved it.

Yet, deep down, she still felt miserable.

Chu Li kept talking about remarrying and putting her and the child first, yet for Qin Yunshu, he had driven out into a rainstorm.

Qin Yunshu was the one in the first place in his heart.

Apologies—how ridiculous.

She stepped toward the elevator, but the elevator doors opened, accompanied by sounds of angry scolding and pleading.

Madam Chu grabbed Qin Yunshu by the hair and dragged her out of the elevator, "You little slut, you're not content even after getting married, causing A Li to get into a car accident for you; you still have the nerve to come here? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

Madam Chu was now settling old and new scores together.

She had guarded against Chu Bolin's illegitimate children for so many years, never expecting such a large fish to have slipped through the net.

And before she could even vent her anger, Qin Yunshu had been protected by that married sister-in-law, Chu Yue.

Until today, she had never had a chance to cause trouble for Qin Yunshu.

Now that Qin Yunshu had fallen into her hands, she would not be soft-hearted at all.

"Auntie, Auntie, I know I was wrong." Qin Yunshu protected her scalp, stumbling as she was dragged, and could only keep begging for mercy.

"Wrong? You, Qin Yunshu, probably don't even know how to write the word 'wrong'." Madam Chu dragged Qin Yunshu and shoved her hard against the wall.

She slapped her twice, the sounds crisp and clear.

It left Qin Yunshu with temporary tinnitus.

Cheng Wan watched with great interest and no longer wanted to leave.

People had already chased out from the elevator.

"Sister-in-law, stop it quickly." Chu Yue shouted as she came to intervene, only to be pushed aside by Madam Chu with one hand, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

She was furious, "Zhou Lin, look at yourself, where is the nobility of a Madam Chu? You are simply a shrew."

"A shrew." She cursed heavily again, still not satisfied.

Madam Chu looked at her coldly, "When your eldest brother wanted to marry me, didn't he already know I had this kind of personality?"

"You... that was an arrangement by the family, it wasn't like my eldest brother had to marry you."

"Then tell Chu Bolin to divorce me." Madam Chu was truly furious today and gave Chu Yue no face at all, "It's one thing for you, a married-off woman, to manage your maiden family's affairs, but you even come to interfere in the private matters of your eldest brother and sister-in-law; Chu Yue, you are the biggest joke of all."

Chu Yue exploded with rage, "Aren't you just relying on the fact that you gave birth to A Li? If it weren't for A Li, you would have been kicked out long ago."

Madam Chu laughed unceremoniously, "Of course, my A Li is countless times stronger than that good-for-nothing son of yours."

Chu Yue: "..."

Chu Yue could not withstand Madam Chu's offensive power.

She yelled at Cheng Wan, who was still watching the show over there, "Are you dead? Still standing there without moving, hurry up and come pull this lunatic away."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow, remaining indifferent.

Madam Chu backhanded Chu Yue across the mouth, "That is my daughter-in-law, is it your place to be barking orders here?"

Chu Yue covered her face, unable to believe it.

She had been back at the Chu family for so long, and even though she had conflicts with Madam Chu, today was the first time she had resorted to physical violence.

Besides, Chu Yue had always prided herself on being elegant; she could never bring herself to slap someone in the mouth in public.

She could only glare fiercely at Madam Chu, stamping her feet on the spot.

"You... you are simply unreasonable."

Madam Chu yanked Qin Yunshu's hair hard, and Qin Yunshu screamed in pain again.

"She is also Big Brother's child, you really are a vicious woman."

Having taken a slap, Chu Yue did not dare to step forward and could only curse ineffectually.

Cheng Wan watched with great interest.

Although she had some history with Madam Chu and did not like her, it did not stop her from wanting to applaud Madam Chu at this moment.

People like Chu Yue and Qin Yunshu, who were like green tea bitches, deserved to be dealt with by someone like Madam Chu.

"Stop," Assistant Wu's voice rang out, and he walked over quickly, "Madam, President Chu asks you all to go in."

If they kept making a scene here, it would definitely be in the headlines tomorrow.

Madam Chu grabbed Qin Yunshu by the hair and dragged her into Chu Li's hospital room.

With no more show to watch, Cheng Wan prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Assistant Wu blocked her, "President Chu said, please have the wife come in as well."

He stood in Cheng Wan's way, showing no intention of letting her pass.

Cheng Wan had no choice but to enter the hospital room again.
