CHAPTER 73: Appetizing Side Dish
Upon hearing this, Chu Tenghu immediately took a step back, thinking to himself that even if they managed to get the Amethyst, he would probably end up getting a beating. His father had just beaten his fourth uncle, and now he was venting his anger… It would be better for Tengjiao to handle this matter.
Chu Tengjiao, being a year younger and not as cunning, was filled with greed and eagerly said, “I will go with fourth uncle to get it.”
The two of them walked into the inner courtyard, one in front of the other—
Suddenly, there was a loud "puff," and they heard Chu Feiyan shout, “Did you see the Amethyst?”
Then came a series of slaps, accompanied by Chu Feiyan’s furious shouts: “Did you see it? Did you see it?”
Chu Tengjiao's cries echoed out.
When everyone rushed over, they saw Chu Tengjiao’s face swollen and covered in mud as he lay on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Chu Feiyan had already vanished without a trace…
Chu Tenghu's eyes burned with anger as he rushed in, “Tengjiao, are you alright…”
“Fourth uncle didn’t give me the Amethyst… and hit me…”
Outside, Chu Yang coldly smiled: Hit you? Fourth uncle is really too soft-hearted... He should have beaten you to death...
…………
That night, Chu Feiling and Yang Ruolan personally came to the medical clinic to take their son home.
Yang Ruolan cooked a feast for her son, watching as Chu Yang devoured the food with concern in her beautiful eyes. Chu Feiling looked enviously and reached for the chopsticks several times, only to be swatted away.
“Yangyang, are you alright?” Seeing Chu Yang’s usual demeanor, smiling as if nothing had happened, Yang Ruolan asked worriedly.
“Huh? What’s the matter?” Chu Yang blinked and continued to battle the delicious dishes on the table.
“I mean… about today. Do you have any thoughts on it?” Yang Ruolan said, “If not, how about we leave the Chu Family and go back to the Yang Family?” Chu Feiling immediately became anxious.
“You’re talking about that?” Chu Yang wiped his mouth and smiled, “I have a plan. Mother, you might not understand your son’s abilities; just trust me and watch.”
“Abilities?” Yang Ruolan felt a bit more relaxed and said, “What abilities do you have?”
“Your son is not someone who suffers losses easily.” Chu Yang winked, “You don’t know this, but my sworn elder brother does…”
“Sworn elder brother?” Yang Ruolan paused for a moment and then realized; even though she was currently feeling extremely frustrated, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Chu Feiling's face turned red with anger as he scolded, “Little brat! I see you’re itching for a beating…”
The previously tense atmosphere suddenly became lively. The couple’s tension over their son’s issue was relieved a bit.
Chu Yang then laughed, holding Yang Ruolan’s hand and said, “Mother, don’t worry; your son is a master of scheming. They won’t be able to outplay me; as for leaving… we cannot. The Chu Family is currently facing both internal and external troubles; although there are many who are not competent, we would rather break and rebuild the Chu Family than leave… If we leave, that would be exactly what others want.”
Chu Feiling’s face turned pale, “Break and rebuild the Chu Family?”
With a calm smile, Chu Yang slowly nodded.
Chu Feiling and his wife were momentarily speechless.
Even Yang Ruolan, who was currently furious, had never thought of breaking the entire Chu Family! But Chu Yang had clearly stated this intention.
As Chu Yang laughed, he pondered within. Chu Feilong could indeed not be underestimated; he had tried every means to obscure his connections with Sha Xinliang and others, just to set a trap. However, Chu Feilong was cautious and hadn’t stepped into it.
Moreover, he had given up on using force against himself and switched to a more covert approach.
The path he was taking was, at present, the most troubling issue for him and also the most effective means to deal with himself: using the power of the family to suppress you!
