Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

That's right, the Chu family had exploded, right after the Lin's announced that they would stop working with the Chu's.    

    

Currently, the Chu's had fallen into a quagmire following the change in Hong Lan and Jiang Jing.    

    

The Zhang family was the first to launch an attack, and the rest of the people who had been eyeing Jiang Jing the whole time immediately had their own thoughts. The Lin's was the one who reacted the fastest.    

    

Most of the Chu's's funds had been invested into Hong Lan and Jiang Jing's project. The Lin's's actions were no different from adding fuel to the fire.    

    

However, this was not the most troublesome thing for the people of the Chu family. The lawyer's letter from the Zhang family had shattered their last glimmer of hope.    

    

They knew that there would be no more room for negotiation with the Zhang family from now on.    

    

Being led by the Lin family, they doubted the quality of the building materials of the Chu's and resisted their cooperation. They had pushed the Chu family into a desperate situation within a day.    

    

The accumulation of a large amount of building materials, the opposition from various media outlets, and the risk of breaking the financial chain.    

    

It seemed that as long as they took another step forward, they would reach a cliff.    

    

Faced with such a situation, everyone in the Chu family was overwhelmed with anxiety.    

    

Chu Yuntao had just returned to his position as the vice president, yet he was faced with such a severe test. It made him feel like crying.    

    

Chu Yingxiong, who had retired to the second-tier, had no choice but to come out of the mountain again. He communicated with the bank and used the connections he had built up over the past few decades.    

    

Unfortunately, reality had mercilessly put out that tiny bit of luck he had.    

    

While the Chu's was busy, Xiao Chen remained calm and composed in his room.    

    

Chu Huaiyu's unemployment also meant that he did not need to go out every day. The Spirit Gathering Pill he refined previously finally had time to consume, so he locked himself in his room on this day.    

    

The pill melted as soon as it entered his throat. A rich spiritual energy erupted, and as the cultivation technique circulated in his body, it gradually turned into true qi.    

    

Although it was much weaker compared to the Stabilizing Pill, it was much richer compared to simply absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the air.    

    

"It's a pity that I've only refined one. If I had three or four more, I would have been able to break through to the middle stage of Dao Qi Condensation."    

    

It took him several hours to completely absorb the medicinal effects. He couldn't help but mutter as he felt the growth of his zhenqi.    

    

There weren't many restrictions on consuming pills that purely increased zhenqi. As long as there was one, it would be fine as long as he ate it all the time. The prerequisite was that he wasn't afraid of nausea.    

    

He stopped cultivating and changed his clothes. He looked at the time before pulling the door open and walking out.    

    

He had just arrived outside when he heard a voice coming from downstairs. When he heard the content of the conversation, he immediately frowned.    

    

"Yu, just treat it as helping your father. I promise this will be the last time!"    

    

Lau Ruman pulled Chu Huaiyu's palm and pleaded.    

    

Chu Huaiyu looked at her mother's face and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she pulled out her palm.    

    

"I don't have a father. Maybe from now on, I will not have a mother anymore!" Her cold and unfamiliar tone made Lau Ruman's arm tremble.    

    

She wanted to grab Chu Huaiyu's hand again but suddenly felt as heavy as lead.    

    

"I know you are still blaming us, but the Chu family is your father and your root. How can you just watch it be destroyed in our hands? As long as you can apologize to Little Yang, this matter might... "    

    

" Such a big person, yet you are still so naive! "Xiao Chen really could not bear listening and interrupted with a cold snort.    

    

"You shut up!" Lau Ruman immediately glared at him and shouted angrily.    

    

"You should be the one to shut up. Huaiyu has a good temper. You can bully and hurt her again and again?"    

    

Xiao Chen did not give her any face. In his eyes, this woman was not worthy of the title of mother.    

    

It was also because there was no one else here. Otherwise, if he heard his words, he would be shocked.    

    

He might be the only person in the entire world who said Chu Huaiyu had a good temper.    

    

"I..."    

    

"Don't find an excuse. After so many years of not caring about anything, you push your daughter out to hook her head and bow when the time comes. Selling a daughter to seek glory, don't you even have the last bit of shame?" Xiao Chen's words were harsh, making Lau Ruman's face turn pale.    

    

"You, you..."    

    

"That's enough!"    

    

Seeing her mother's trembling body, Chu Huaiyu finally spoke to stop her. She waited until Xiao Chen stopped talking before turning to her mother.    

    

"You can leave now. I think it's better if we don't meet again in the future. As for this house, I will clean it up and return it to the Chu family. From now on, the Chu family and all of you will have nothing to do with me anymore!"    

    

After letting out a silent sigh, Chu Huaiyu waved her hand. She was in no mood to talk to her mother anymore. She rubbed her forehead and turned her head around.    

    

Looking at her, Lau Ruman's face was ashen. Facing her daughter's determination, she could not open her mouth no matter what.    

    

After a long time, Lau Ruman turned her head and left with her footsteps.    

    

Too many things had happened these past few days. Chu Huaiyu was really tired and she also understood.    

    

Once, she gritted her teeth and persisted, hoping to get those so-called family members, even if it was just a little bit of confirmation, a little bit of fairness.    

    

Unfortunately, in the end, those were just her wishful thinking.    

    

"Pack up and pack up. Let's move out. Return all the things in Chu family to them!"    

    

"But there are some things that can't be returned no matter what. Your retreat... It can only be exchanged for their insatiable greed. It's yours. No matter how long it's been, no matter how many times it turns out to be. In the end, it'll always return to your hands. We'll stay here for two more days."    

    

Xiao Chen grabbed her shoulder, gently hooked her chin, and said while looking into her eyes.    

    

He swung his hand away and pushed his palm away. Chu Huaiyu stared at him with a pair of eyes, but in the end, she did not flare up.    

    

She turned around and looked at the house that she had lived in for ten years. That reluctance made her nod her head in the end.    

    

Xiao Chen did not say anything else and carried the basket out of the door. He bought a few dishes and prepared to cook himself.    

    

However, a figure appeared outside the villa at the time of meal.    

    

"Why is she here?" Xiao Chen frowned and muttered to himself.    

    

Chu Huaiyu was also a little surprised, but since she was here, she did not dare to neglect her presence outside the door.    

    

"Sister Yu, we meet again. You came uninvited and did not disturb you, right?"    

    

Gu Muwan chuckled and walked in while staring at her little legs. The faint sense of alienation melted along with her gentle smile.    

    

Chu Huaiyu seriously sized up her face.    

    

All this time, Gu Muwan's entire body was covered with a layer of grey and gloomy aura. Although it was obscure, one could discover it after looking at it for a long time.    

    

But now, regardless of whether it was Gu Muwan's smiling face or her round and round skin, they were all full of vigorous vitality.    

    

"I won't disturb you. Only you will come and visit me." He smiled and invited her in.    

    

Gu Muwan jumped and landed beside Xiao Chen. She raised her hand and helped to process the ingredients.    

    

"Big Brother Xiao, are you cooking? Then I must have a good taste of Big Brother's cooking today."    

    

"Don't be busy, go accompany your Big Sister Yu!" Xiao Chen naturally knew the purpose of her visit.    

    

However, Chu Huaiyu was currently in a bad mood. It was not bad to have someone to chat with and chat with.    

    

"Does that count as big brother owing me a favor?" Blinking her eyes, Gu Muwan was suddenly covered with a layer of slyness.    

    

"Yes, as long as you can make Huaiyu's mood better, I can make an exception and agree to one of your requests."
