After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

next morning.

After washing up, Chu Tian habitually prepared to go out and practice his boxing skills.

However, as soon as I entered the living room, my eyes were suddenly drawn to a portrait on the wall.

It was a ferocious beast that resembled a tiger, with a human face and tiger feet.

It also has two wild boar tusks, and its copper bell-like eyes emit a cold light, giving people a sinister and eerie feeling that makes them shudder.

"Strange, why would the Tang family display a portrait of a Taotie?"

Chu Tian looked puzzled and followed the direction of Taotie's gaze to see Old Madam Tang's room.

really……

Chu Tian's face instantly darkened.

Taotie is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. If a portrait of Taotie is placed in the home, it will surely bring misfortune to the family.

Furthermore, the direction in which the Taotie's eyes are pointed will attract all the malevolent energy.

"No wonder Grandma was so healthy before, but suddenly collapsed. It turns out that the Taotie portrait here was the culprit."

Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, and he walked to the wall and took down the portrait.

The Tang family is a large and powerful family, and it's impossible that no one in the family knows about Taotie.

Therefore, this matter must have been deliberately done by someone.

“Those are from the Tang family, you country bumpkin, put them down right now…”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels and heavily made up came out.

Chu Tian subconsciously turned his head and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"I am Wang Guiqin."

The middle-aged woman, her face cold, snatched the portrait from Chu Tian's hand.

"Oh, it's my mother-in-law!"

Chu Tian suddenly smiled and bowed deeply.

"Hello, Mother-in-law, I am your son-in-law, Chu Tian."

He learned from Tang Yurou last night that Wang Guiqin served Wang Shaojie's parents like a dog every day for the sake of her daughter's marriage to Wang Shaojie.

I didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"Shut your stinking mouth, who's your mother-in-law?"

Wang Guiqin looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was dressed in a dowdy style, with disgust in her eyes.

"I'm warning you, my son-in-law can only be Young Master Wang."

"As for you, hmph! It was because I wasn't home yesterday that you, you country bumpkin, were able to take advantage of the situation."

"But it's impossible for you and my daughter. You toad can't dream of eating swan meat."

Wang Guiqin was filled with rage. After her careful service, her daughter's marriage to Wang Shaojie seemed to be a done deal.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shaojie, who had been treating her well the night before, suddenly changed his attitude. He not only kicked her out, but also pressured her to force Tang Yurou to leave Chutian.

Wang Guiqin sensed something was wrong and rushed home to find out what was going on. She discovered that while she was away, her daughter had already found someone else.

If he were a young master from a prestigious family, that would be one thing, but he turned out to be a poor boy from the mountains.

She naturally couldn't allow her daughter to marry someone like Chu Tian.

Chu Tian ignored him, his eyes fixed on Wang Guiqin's Taotie painting.

"Mother-in-law, this painting..."

"Shut up, don't call me mother-in-law."

Wang Guiqin shouted sternly.

Chu Tian scratched his head. "Uh... isn't it a bit too early to call her 'Mom'?"

"you……"

Wang Guiqin was furious. "Stop talking nonsense! A poor bastard like you is not good enough for our Yurou, even if you burned incense for eight lifetimes."

"Once Yu Rou comes out, you two need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, or else..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Tian interrupted, "Don't get agitated. I'm just asking, did you buy this Taotie painting?"

"What Taotie? What are you talking about?" Wang Guiqin didn't react for a moment.

Chu Tian frowned slightly. Judging from Wang Guiqin's appearance, she probably didn't know the purpose of the Taotie painting, so the murderer must be someone else.

After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Guiqin looked down at the Taotie portrait and, remembering that Chu Tian had been staring intently at it, misunderstood the situation.

"So you know this portrait is valuable, and you want to steal it to sell for money, right?"

Seeing that Chu Tian remained silent, Wang Guiqin became even more certain of her thoughts. She took out a check from her bag and quickly wrote down a number.

"One million, take the money and go."

"From this day forward, you are not allowed to appear in front of my daughter again."

Chu Tian found it quite amusing.

Wang Guiqin frowned when she saw that Chu Tian refused to accept the check.

What do you mean?

Is he complaining that it's not enough?

Swish!

Wang Guiqin wrote another line.

"Two million? That's enough for a lowly person like you to live on for the rest of your life. Get out of here now."

Under et al?

Chu Tian sneered.

In terms of status, as the young master of Kunlun Tianmen, let alone a small family like the Tang family, even if all the top families in China were gathered here, they would only have the right to kneel and kowtow to him.

Seeing that Chu Tian remained unmoved, Wang Guiqin's face darkened, but she suppressed her anger and raised the price again.

"Five million, and this time?"

This time, Chu Tian stared blankly at the check.

He really couldn't understand why Wang Guiqin, who didn't even understand him, insisted on driving him away.

If he really leaves, not only will no one be able to solve the Tang family's crisis, but Tang Yurou will also become Wang Shaojie's plaything.

As parents, is our daughter's happiness truly worthless in the face of money?

When Wang Guiqin saw Chu Tian staring blankly, she assumed he was interested and was immediately filled with disdain.

"Hmph! As expected of a poor bastard from the mountains, he'll be satisfied with just a little more money."

"Still trying to act tough in front of me? Even if I break your bones and sell them for the price of gold, you've probably never seen so much money before."

Wang Guiqin sneered. She knew Chu Tian was after their family's money and was no good. He couldn't compare to Wang Shaojie at all.

But at that moment, Chu Tian suddenly moved and picked up the check on the table.

Wang Guiqin grew increasingly disdainful, but before she could say anything, there was a tearing sound.

The check was instantly torn to shreds by Chu Tian, ​​turning into countless scraps of paper.

"The matter between me and Yu Rou is a decision between us. Even if you are Yu Rou's mother, you have no right to interfere."

"As for money, there's no need for that. You can't buy my dignity."

Chu Tian's deep and authoritative voice echoed in the room.
