Chapter 183: He Only Wanted to See Her Concern

In the hospital room, Madam Chu had already let go, while Qin Yun Shu covered her head, shrinking behind Chu Yue, whimpering pitifully.

Chu Yue complained, "A Li, you really must manage your mother; she is simply lawless, actually grabbing Yun Shu by the hair in full view of everyone and dragging her out of the elevator—what kind of behavior is that?"

Qin Yun Shu sobbed, "I really didn't know there would be a car accident; if I had known earlier, I absolutely would not have let Brother come to pick me up. Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry."

"Hypocritical, shut your mouth," Madam Chu said impatiently, "Careful, or I'll slap you again."

Qin Yun Shu didn't even have a sob left.

Only then did Madam Chu look at Chu Li, and seeing the injuries on his face, she felt unbearable heartache.

"How did you get hurt like this?"

Looking at Qin Yun Shu again, she wished she could tear her to pieces.

She regretted that her hand hadn't been heavy enough just now and that she hadn't slapped her a few more times.

Chu Li rubbed his brow, "It's not serious. Let Yun Shu go, don't make things difficult for her."

Qin Yun Shu was incredibly grateful.

Madam Chu was dissatisfied, "She harmed you to this extent, and you're just going to let it go?"

Chu Yue was displeased, "A Li is Yun Shu's brother; protecting his younger sister is only right. How did it turn into harming him?"

Madam Chu's expression darkened slightly.

"Qin Yun Shu is already married and has a husband. If she can't handle her relationship with her husband, she goes to find A Li?"

"If something were to happen to A Li, what would you have Cheng Wan and the child in her belly do? Become a widow at a young age, or just abort the child and marry someone else?"

As Madam Chu spoke, she didn't give Chu Li a pleasant look either, "In your heart, is Qin Yun Shu more important than Cheng Wan and the child in her belly?"

Chu Li opened his mouth, "No."

Cheng Wan felt a slight bitterness in her heart; what Madam Chu said was exactly what she was thinking.

Chu Li understood this logic, but whenever Qin Yun Shu encountered trouble, he would still go to save her at the first opportunity.

However, she wouldn't necessarily become a widow; after all, she and Chu Li were only remarried in name and hadn't gone to get the marriage certificate again yet.

Madam Chu was frustrated by his lack of resolve, "Then you still ran out in the middle of the night for Qin Yun Shu; I see that you have no place for Cheng Wan and the child in your heart at all."

Qin Yun Shu wiped her tears, "Auntie, please don't scold Brother; it's all my fault, I shouldn't have looked for him."

Madam Chu didn't buy it, "Don't call him Brother, you aren't worthy. If you call him that again, I will beat you every time."

Qin Yun Shu cowered, not daring to speak.

Chu Yue defended her, "Yun Shu is A Li's sister; it is only natural for A Li to protect her."

She frowned at Cheng Wan, "If Cheng Wan wants to remarry A Li, she must be magnanimous and have the capacity to take care of the whole family, old and young. Otherwise, why marry her into the house? To argue every day?"

"Aunt, take Yun Shu and leave here," Chu Li said, his head aching.

"I have one more thing," Chu Yue said, "I heard you found a lawyer to sue your father for divorce?"

She was absolutely stunned when she heard it.

Her first reaction was that Chu Li had gone crazy.

Her main reason for coming this time was also for this matter.

Chu Bolin had no way to deal with Chu Li at all.

"Since he refuses to divorce, I can only sue."

"That is your father!" Chu Yue's elegance was blown away by her anger.

She didn't understand why Chu Li insisted on making Chu Bolin and Zhou Lin divorce, and the key was that he also wanted to make Chu Bolin leave with nothing.

He was crazy to help an outsider.

"I gave him a choice," Chu Li said coldly.

"Chu Li, your father has been playing around outside for more than a day or two; don't you think it's too late to be calculating this now?"

A dark glint flashed in Chu Li's eyes.

Chu Yue wanted to continue, but Madam Chu used her loud voice to blast her out.

Her fighting spirit was astonishing, and Chu Yue and Qin Yun Shu could only retreat in a sorry state.

The hospital room suddenly became quiet.

Madam Chu glared at Chu Li, but thinking about how Chu Li had been very reliable regarding her own divorce from Chu Bolin—not favoring Chu Bolin and not being indifferent—her anger dissipated quite a bit.

Her anger subsided a lot.

She made arrangements, "Cheng Wan is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to take care of you in the hospital; I'll have the servants from home come over."

Chu Li naturally knew what was important, "I know."

He hadn't intended to let Cheng Wan take care of him either.

He only wanted to see her concern.

But clearly, up to this point, he hadn't seen it.

He had called Cheng Wan back just to have Assistant Wu take her home.

Madam Chu was fairly satisfied; she gave Assistant Wu a few instructions and left with Cheng Wan.

On the way back, Madam Chu asked about Cheng Wan's studio.

"You are pregnant with A Li's child, and you're quite far along; you should stop the studio work," Madam Chu said in a flat tone, "Or hire a professional to manage it for you."

Cheng Wan didn't speak; she had always been very clear that Madam Chu only defended her because she carried Chu Li's child in her belly.

Or perhaps, she had just become more open-minded after experiencing the incident with Chu Bolin.

Madam Chu actually didn't like her from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Wan was very self-aware.

Therefore, she would not ruin her newly started career just because she was pregnant.

"The studio has people managing it; it's not busy."

Madam Chu was not satisfied with this answer, "Cheng Wan, you are already Chu Li's wife; you should properly be his virtuous helpmate."

"Take this car accident, for instance; if you hadn't let him go find Qin Yun Shu, the accident wouldn't have happened." Madam Chu still held resentment in her heart.

She remembered the kindness Cheng Wan had shown her, which was why she reluctantly accepted her.

But that did not mean she liked Cheng Wan as a daughter-in-law.

Cheng Wan looked out the window, her expression cold, her tone indifferent: "I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't stop him."

She did not understand Madam Chu's complaints; if Chu Li insisted on going to save Qin Yun Shu, was she supposed to tie him up?

Furthermore, if something happened to Qin Yun Shu, she would be the one blamed anyway.

Cheng Wan would not bring trouble upon herself.

Madam Chu believed Cheng Wan was being evasive.

She became a little angry, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said forcefully, "You don't need to worry about the studio anymore; I will find someone to manage it for you."

"I said there's no need." Cheng Wan's attitude was equally firm.

Madam Chu's face turned completely cold, "Cheng Wan, I am not discussing this with you."

"If you touch my studio, I will have no choice but to go to Chu Li for an explanation."

Madam Chu's weak spot was Chu Li.

Therefore, Cheng Wan brought up Chu Li.

Madam Chu was so angry her chest ached; on the way back, she did not say another word.

The car arrived at Beicheng Villa.

Madam Chu told Cheng Wan to pack Chu Li's things so they could be sent to the Yiyuan.

Cheng Wan lifted her feet to go upstairs, "I'm not feeling well, I can't pack them."

Madam Chu: "..."

In the end, she had to order the servants to pack them.

Throughout the entire process, Cheng Wan did not appear again.

Madam Chu felt very uncomfortable, and thinking about how Cheng Wan was pregnant, she felt even more that it was unfair to Chu Li.

When she arrived at the Yiyuan, she still did not have a pleasant expression.

"Cheng Wan is really something. I said I would find a professional to manage her studio, but she actually refused and said she wanted to go out to work every day. She really has no fate for enjoying a life of ease."

"Mom, don't touch her things." Chu Li's expression turned serious, "Let her do as she pleases."
