Chapter 218: Uncle is Also Very Cute

Chu Li knew why Madam Chu had changed.

She had experienced her husband's betrayal for twenty or thirty years, and now her only son had nearly died, leaving behind only a child of over two years old.

How could she not be afraid?

"Has Grandfather returned?" he asked.

"He is on the way."

Notifying Old Master Chu about this matter was a decision Chu Li made after waking up.

Chu Yue and Chu Bolin were elders; how to deal with them required a decision from the Old Master.

As the two were speaking, Chu Yue and Chu Bolin arrived.

Seeing Chu Li, Chu Bolin immediately shed tears of old age, exceptionally joyful, "A Li, you have finally woken up."

Chu Yue wiped her tears on the side, appearing entirely benevolent.

"A Li, you don't know how distressed your father was when he learned about your accident, and how much he has worried for the company and the family during this time. Fortunately, you woke up; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to carry on."

The two sang in harmony, as if it were they who had been taking care of Chu Li during his coma.

Chu Li's expression was cold, with no emotions visible.

Chu Yue sighed and said softly, "I know you must have heard something, but I guarantee that what you heard is not true. Everything your father did was for your own good."

With every word and sentence, she cleared herself completely from this matter.

Yet Chu Bolin was completely unaware of his younger sister's intentions and even felt that she was right.

"That's right, A Li, Father did it all for you."

Chu Li glanced at Assistant Wu, "Please show them out."

He did not give them any face at all.

Assistant Wu showed Chu Yue and Chu Bolin out.

Chu Yue complained in a low voice, "Look, I told you, A Li has no place for you in his heart at all. You talked until your mouth went dry, and he just had his assistant kick us out."

Chu Bolin also felt he had lost face; he was, after all, Chu Li's father, yet he had been blatantly kicked out by an assistant.

Chu Yue observed his expression, knowing he also held resentment in his heart, and said in the elevator, "If you ask me, you should just be ruthless."

Chu Bolin was a bit dazed, "How ruthless?"

Chu Yue looked at him without speaking.

Chu Bolin's face changed, "You want to..."

"No." Chu Bolin objected. Although he hated that Chu Li disregarded their father-son relationship, he could not bring himself to take Chu Li's life.

Chu Yue rolled her eyes, truly looking down on Chu Bolin's timid character.

She pulled Chu Bolin to the car and scolded him roundly, "He kicked you out of the house for the sake of that outsider Zhou Lin; do you think he still has you, his father, in his heart?"

Chu Bolin did not speak.

Naturally, he did not.

Otherwise, he would not have watched him become a laughingstock.

Seeing him waver, Chu Yue pressed on, "Really, Big Brother, you are still young and will have many more children."

Chu Bolin narrowed his eyes; now that he and Zhou Lin were divorced, Zhou Lin could not interfere with his offspring.

If one is not filial, one can always raise another who is.

He was swayed by Chu Yue.

"What should I do?"

The corners of Chu Yue's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and she whispered, "Chu Li is hospitalized and needs injections every day; we can make him stay in the Yiyuan a little longer."

She did not dare to say she wanted Chu Li dead, fearing Chu Bolin's "saintly" heart would flare up.

Sure enough, the next second, Chu Bolin said, "Just let him stay in the Yiyuan for a while longer?"

Chu Yue gave him a sidelong glance, "Otherwise what? Do you want to kill him?"

"Let me think about it." Chu Bolin began to hesitate again.

He was worried that Chu Yue might have such intentions.

Chu Yue was left speechless.

The two reached an agreement and left by car.

Upon returning to the Old Residence, unexpectedly, Old Master Chu had arrived home.

Old Master Chu's spirit had been increasingly poor lately; at this moment, he was sitting on the sofa coughing continuously.

Chu Yue and Chu Bolin looked at each other, neither knowing when the Old Master had returned.

Chu Bolin respectfully called out, "Dad."

Chu Yue thought more deeply; the Old Master must have been called back by Chu Li, yet she had not received any news.

Chu Li was even stronger than she had imagined; he must not be left alone.

Old Master Chu coughed for a long time before stopping, each sound exceptionally heavy.

After a long while, he finally recovered.

"Chu Yue."

Chu Yue hurried forward, "Dad."

"When are you returning to Haicheng?"

Chu Yue was stunned; was the Old Master trying to drive her away?

She suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, lowered her eyes, and looked somewhat aggrieved, "Dad, did I do something wrong?"

Old Master Chu looked at her appearance, unmoved, and only said indifferently, "You are already married; you shouldn't keep staying at your maiden home."

"I..."

"When you were married off, I gave you quite a lot of dowry; are you still not satisfied?"

Chu Yue's palms broke into a sweat; Old Master Chu knew everything.

But she also carried the surname Chu and was also a member of the Chu family; why couldn't she have a share of this vast fortune?

Besides, she also needed a sum of money.

"Dad, my husband has already passed away, and I am homeless; are you trying to drive me away?" she said bluntly.

Old Master Chu closed his eyes and sighed inwardly; he had kept Chu Yue back then because she was obedient, but now the little white rabbit had also grown sharp fangs.

"You have a son and a daughter; you are not homeless. I give you three days to leave Yuncheng."

As Old Master Chu spoke, he looked at Chu Bolin, "The same goes for you; don't let me see you in this house again."

He was old, but his imposing manner had not diminished.

Chu Bolin and Chu Yue dared not say another word.

The two of them left.

Chu Yue sneered, "Big brother, can't you see it clearly yet? There is no place for you or me in this family. After the old man passes away, those assets will have nothing to do with us either; he will leave them to the children of Chu Li and Cheng Wan. You and I will get nothing."

Chu Bolin said viciously, "I agree to what you said."

It was not that they were heartless; it was that the Chu family had given them no way to survive.

The next day, Cheng Wan took the two children to the Yiyuan.

Chu Li's complexion was still somewhat pale, but he raised a gentle smile, "An'an."

Cheng An'an took short steps, pattering as she ran over, her eyes bright, "Uncle."

Chu Li felt a lump in his throat at this form of address, but he quickly regained his smile, "Thank you for coming to see me."

Cheng An'an leaned in close to him, and Chu Li scooped her up and placed her on his lap.

The little person was very light, and she still carried the scent of milk on her.

Soft.

Chu Li's heart was filled with tenderness; this was his and Cheng Wan's daughter.

He couldn't help but pinch An'an's little face, "An'an is really cute."

Cheng An'an had a lively personality; she tilted her head and stared at Chu Li, "Uncle is also very cute."

Chu Li chuckled; he set An'an down and let her go play with her brother.

His gaze unconsciously fell upon Cheng Wan.

She was standing by the window making a phone call, wearing a beige long dress, looking gentle and elegant.

He couldn't help but recall when they had first married; she had been exceptionally green, but six years had passed, and she had already become a mother to children and had her own career.

The gentleness of time had settled upon her.
