Chapter 49: Where is My Grandson? [Second Update!]
Old Master Chu Xiong Cheng wanted to find a hole to hide in right then and there. That old woman was even more terrifying than Yang Bao...
In the past, he had been a rival to Yang Bao, and they had nearly been at each other's throats. Thankfully, in the end, he lost that battle of love; otherwise, if he had really married her... his life would have been even more unbearable...
He never expected that the delicate beauty from back then would turn out to be so fierce once she became a wife.
After hearing that Yang Bao had been living poorly and had suffered abuse since getting married, Old Master Chu had drunkenly celebrated for several days, repeatedly saying: "What a close call! I'm so glad I slipped away. Hearing about that bastard Yang Bao's misfortune really lifts my spirits..."
But now, here they were, the couple coming to his door.
In an instant, Old Master Chu wanted to slip away.
But it was too late; he was already surrounded by his son and family, heading towards the door. Along the way, Old Master Chu's gaze darted around, looking for a way to slip out, but before he could think of a reason, they had arrived at the entrance.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble, and the Yang family's horse team charged over from just a short distance away.
Their swift momentum seemed ready to trample the Chu family into the ground!
However, when they were about a yard away from the door, Yang Bao bellowed, "Halt!"
All the horses reared up at the same time, and with a long neigh, they came to a synchronized stop, raising a cloud of dust like a tornado in the desert, which rushed into the Chu family's main entrance.
Everyone who came out to welcome them was covered head to toe in dust.
What had been elegant robes just moments ago now looked like the rags of refugees—everyone was dusty and had mouths full of sand. They glared angrily at the unwelcome guests before them.
Caught off guard, Old Master Chu choked on a mouthful of dust and roared in fury, "Yang Bao! Don't think I’m afraid of you! How dare you cause trouble at my Chu family's doorstep?!"
Yang Bao, with his bushy white beard blowing straight in the wind, laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Old Master Chu! It's been so many years, and you’re still alive!"
Old Master Chu angrily retorted, "I wouldn't die even if you did!"
A voice came from the carriage, "Chu Xiong Cheng, are you cursing me to remain a widow?"
Old Master Chu was stunned, breaking out in a sweat. "Uh, you're here too?"
Yang Bao, with a victorious expression, looked at Chu Xiong Cheng and chuckled, "You didn't expect my wife to come too, did you?"
Old Master Chu felt a wave of discomfort in his chest and countered bitterly, "How many times have you worn out the abacus from kneeling on it over the years?"
"Kneel on your own nonsense!" Yang Bao was hit where it hurt and immediately became furious.
At that moment, Chu Feiling and Yang Ruolan hurried over. Yang Ruolan called out from a distance, "Dad, Mom, why didn't you let us know you were coming?"
"I didn't let you know to give you a surprise!" Yang Bao waved his hand. "Now that I'm here to pick up my grandson, don’t waste time being angry. Chu Xiong Cheng, why aren't you letting the guests in? What are you waiting for?"
Old Master Chu huffed in reluctance and stepped aside, saying, "Please! Come in!"
Yang Bao dismounted with a hearty laugh and strode into the house, booming, "Where’s my grandson? Why isn’t he coming out to meet his grandfather?! Wow, it’s been years since I saw that little thing. Back then, he was only about a foot long; now, he’s probably a foot tall..."
Old Master Chu's face instantly turned sour.
Under the enthusiastic cheers of the Chu family members, they finally welcomed the Yang family inside. Someone went to greet the two hundred members of the Blood Robe Squad, while the important figures all gathered in the Chu family's meeting hall.
With important relatives arriving, in attendance were the Chu family, Old Master Chu, the couples of Chu Feiling and Chu Feilong, several grandsons of the Chu family, Duan Shuyi with her children, and the wife of Chu Feiyan with her children, all present.
