Father Chu felt that the name "Shen Lan" was very familiar. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly fixed with a look of horror.

"You beast, you're still thinking about going against Xiao Yun. Haven't our family's lessons been enough? Haven't you suffered enough abroad these years? You little bastard who deserves a lesson..."

"Shut up!" Old Madam Chu shouted in anger, "He's your son. No matter how much you dislike him, you can't keep calling him a 'beast' or a 'bastard'. Are you worthy of being a father like that?"

"Mom, Shen Lan and Xiao Yun had a big fight before, and many people knew that she was Xiao Yun's woman. Chu Xu snatched Xiao Yun's woman, isn't this obviously against Xiao Yun!"

Father Chu's eyes were red with hatred, and he was heartbroken: "If what happened a few years ago happens again, the Chu family will really be finished."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xu sneered: "The Chu family has become like this because of your incompetence. If you could have handed the Chu family over to me earlier like Xiao Ren did, the Chu family would definitely be on par with the Xiao family now."

The contempt in his words left Father Chu speechless. After a long pause, he said, "Do you think you're Xiao Yun? Being called the 'J City Twin Stars', do you really think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yun? Haha, what a joke, a huge joke!"

"It was Xiao Yun who was being praised, and you were just a bystander. If you hadn't been close to Xiao Yun during that time, you wouldn't have gotten the title. You're not even worthy of carrying Xiao Yun's shoes."

Seeing Chu Xu's eyes as dark as ink, Mrs. Chu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly scolded him, "Shut up, shut up! Is Ah Xu your son, or is Xiao Yun your son? If you hadn't been comparing the two children together all day and belittling Ah Xu, would he have gotten into such a fight with Xiao Yun?"

"You are the source of all this, the culprit!"

Father Chu opened his mouth, looking unconvinced.

Old Mrs. Chu was worried that another argument would break out, so she waved her hand at him and said, "Go out first. I want to talk to Ah Xu alone."

Father Chu didn't dare to confront the seriously ill old lady. He glared at Chu Xu and left.

After he left, Mrs. Chu sighed, "Ah Xu, your dad is a mean-spirited person. He wants you to succeed, so his methods may be extreme..."

"He just doesn't like me." Chu Xu interrupted her and smiled indifferently: "Grandma, don't hide it from me. I know why he doesn't like me."

Mrs. Chu was startled: "You know?"

"Ah."

Actually, the reason is very simple.

Chu's mother is a typical good wife and mother, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, filial to her parents-in-law, and caring for her husband. Chu's father, on the other hand, is a typical male chauvinist, adhering to the principle of keeping the red flag flying at home and the colorful flags flying outside.

He always thought that he had his wife under his control, but he accidentally found out that his docile wife had no feelings for him at all and had someone else in her heart. She didn't care because she didn't love him.

Chu's father was furious and felt that his dignity as a man was challenged. From then on, he was very disgusted with the mother and son.

Chu Xu looks like his mother, and has nothing in common with his father. After learning that his mother has someone else in her heart, his father becomes suspicious and suspects that Chu Xu is not a child of the Chu family.

Later, a paternity test was done and it was confirmed that he was indeed the child of the Chu family. Only then did Chu's father accept him with reluctance, but his disgusted attitude remained unchanged.

Mrs. Chu hesitated for a moment before she said, "Forget it. I don't expect your father-son relationship to be repaired, but at least don't make it like you're enemies. After grandma passed away, this is the only relative you have left."

Chu Xu snorted, "Grandma, it's not me who won't let him go, it's him who won't let me go."

"I know it's your father who's wrong. It's been your father's fault from the beginning to the end. Grandma has been in poor health these past few years, and your father has taken control of the company. What I left you can only barely balance your father. Grandma is worried..."

Before she could finish her words, Chu Xu suddenly held her hand, his eyes deep: "Grandma, let me tell you the truth, I am not without a trump card in my hand, my father is no match for me."

Old Mrs. Chu was shocked, she didn't know any of this.

In her impression, her grandson was influenced by his father's suppression and acted extreme. Later, he was punished and sent abroad to suffer for several years. He was a poor little thing.

But when the old lady heard Chu Xu's words, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.

Ah Xu is only extreme when it comes to Xiao Yun's affairs, but he is not confused at all about other things. He is smart and clever, can make up his mind, and is good at communicating with people and developing personal connections.

It is impossible for such a person to fail to make a career.

Thinking about it carefully, Ah Xu asked her for two huge sums of money through some channels in the first two years after going abroad.

At that time, she thought Ah Xu couldn't endure the hardship any longer, but now she saw that he was probably... starting a business?!

"You..." Old Mrs. Chu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her dry hands tightly grasped Chu Xu's hands, hurting him.

She was in a complicated mood. On the one hand, she felt relieved, knowing that Ah Xu would be able to live well after she left. On the other hand, she was worried that Ah Xu, now that he had the capital, would go against Xiao Yun again?

It's really strange that these two brothers, who were once so close, ended up in such a mess... Besides, Xiao Yun is not an ordinary person, and Chu Xu has little chance of winning against him.

"Grandma, let me ask you something. Do you like Shen Lan because of Xiao Yun?"
