Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chapter 153 What's wrong with my stepfather?

The subtle abnormality in Meng Zhengguo's eyes became increasingly obvious.

His eyes seemed to reveal a kind of greed and evil.

Just then, Chu Yu slowly walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as she stepped out of her bedroom, she saw this disturbing scene in the living room.

Chu Yu felt as if something had suddenly struck her heart, causing her to tighten her chest and a strong sense of unease and worry to well up inside her.

Chu Yu quickly walked to Chu Mengran's side and gently tugged at Chu Mengran's sleeve.

A look of concern appeared on her face, and then she turned to Meng Zhengguo and said, "Honey, don't do this. Mengran is still a child. She doesn't understand yet. Doing this will make her feel uncomfortable."

Upon hearing Chu Yu's words, Meng Zhengguo immediately frowned.

He put the fruit plate he was holding on the sofa and said unhappily, "I just asked her to help me get my things."

"Look at you, you've spoiled her rotten. She whines and complains over the smallest things."

Chu Yu hurriedly explained, "No, husband, that's not what I meant."

"I just think you've gone a bit too far. What you're doing is clearly confusing and unsettling Mengran. You've completely baffled her."

Meng Zhengguo became even angrier after hearing Chu Yu's words.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked a few steps to Chu Yu.

Raising his voice, he said loudly, "How did I go too far? I'm her father. What's wrong with me wanting her to help me with something? Why are you stopping me? I wouldn't hurt her."

Chu Yu was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips, glared at Meng Zhengguo, and said, "Aren't you just making Meng Ran uncomfortable?"

"Don't be so unreasonable. If you really cared about Mengran, you wouldn't do this."

The two of them started arguing back and forth, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense and oppressive.

Chu Mengran stood aside, watching her parents argue so fiercely over her sake. It felt like her heart was being pricked by countless needles; she felt incredibly wronged.

She tried her best to hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes as if they might spill over at any moment.

Seeing Chu Mengran's aggrieved look, Meng Zhengguo felt somewhat guilty, but he was too proud to admit that he had done wrong in front of Chu Yu.

He stubbornly insisted, "Okay, okay, I won't argue anymore. I won't ask her to bring anything. I won't bother her anymore."

After saying that, he sat down on the sofa angrily, crossed his arms, and stopped talking.

He also had a very unhappy expression on his face.

Looking at Meng Zhengguo's appearance, Chu Yu felt both angry and helpless.

She walked over to Chu Mengran and gently patted her head.

Chu Yu's eyes were full of heartache as she said softly, "Meng Ran, don't take it to heart. Dad was probably just confused for a moment. He didn't mean to make you sad."

Chu Mengran could only vaguely guess her mother's intentions at this point.

She forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace and said, "Mom, I know, I don't care, I'm fine."

"The second time..."

On the rooftop, Chu Mengran held Chen Dong in her arms and recounted her story once more.

.......

The afternoon sunlight, like a golden veil, gently and soothingly spilled into the living room through the cracks in the window.

It painted the entire space with a warm and tranquil color.

Outside the window, the occasional clear and melodious chirping of birds drifts in, like beautiful notes played by nature.

It subtly added a touch of leisure and tranquility to the otherwise quiet afternoon.

Chu Mengran, dressed in an elegant dress, sat quietly at the desk in the living room.

Having just finished lunch, she lowered her head slightly, her soft hair falling on both sides of her cheeks, revealing her fair neck.

She was completely absorbed in her work.

Her slender fingers gripped the pen tightly, and the pen tip wrote carefully, stroke by stroke, on the workbook.

It was as if the whole world had shrunk to just the exercises in front of her and her focused thoughts.

Meanwhile, Chu Mengran's mother, Chu Yu, was taking a nap in her bedroom.

Chu Yu lay quietly on the bed in the bedroom, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the pale blue curtains.

The soft, hazy light cast a tranquil atmosphere over the entire room.

She turned to face the window, one hand resting gently on the pillow, her fingers slightly curled.

His face appeared exceptionally serene in the dim light.

Her brows were relaxed, her eyes were gently closed, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids.

She was covered with a thin blanket, which rose and fell rhythmically with her even breathing.

Chu Yu's hair was loosely scattered on the pillow, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks, making her skin appear even whiter.

The room was very quiet, with only the occasional faint sound of wind coming from outside the window and her soft, even breathing.

It was as if time stood still for her at this moment, allowing her to immerse herself in tranquility and relaxation during this short lunch break, temporarily escaping the trivialities and troubles of life.

Meng Zhengguo paced back and forth in the living room, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the bedroom where Chu Yu was.

When he was sure that Chu Yu was sound asleep, he couldn't help but feel a surge of uncontrollable joy.

A cunning and greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

He secretly thought that this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So, he put on a kind and caring demeanor and slowly walked towards where Chu Mengran was.

Meng Zhengguo wore a seemingly warm and friendly smile.

But deep in his eyes, a subtle, unsettling glint was hidden beneath that smile.

Meng Zhengguo walked quietly to Chu Mengran's side, bent down slightly, and aligned his line of sight with Chu Mengran's homework.

Then Meng Zhengguo said softly, "Mengran, it makes me very proud to see you doing your homework so diligently."

"However, Dad also noticed that some of the questions might be a little difficult."

"You might find it a little difficult to think on your own, so let Dad guide you."

Chu Mengran slowly raised her head when she heard Meng Zhengguo's voice.

Those clear, bright eyes held a touch of pure gratitude.

After all, in her innocent inner world, it was undoubtedly a happy thing that her father took the initiative to care about her studies.

Chu Mengran smiled slightly and obediently replied, "Okay, thank you, Dad."

Seeing Chu Mengran's response, Meng Zhengguo was secretly delighted and felt very excited.

He then slowly sat down on the chair next to Chu Mengran.

However, the seat he sat in was unusually close to Chu Mengran, almost touching her body.
