Chapter 763: Chapter 757: Chu Molin is here
The elders of the Li family were not present, so that the young people could be more comfortable, while Chen Lei and Mrs. Xu were cooking in the kitchen. Chen Lei rarely cooked, but today, she was personally preparing a meal for her guests since she was in a good mood.
âMrs. Xu, please chop the green peppers, I will use them later,â Chen Lei asked Mrs. Xu while pointing at the uncut green peppers.
âOf course, they are all fortunate today now that the madam is cooking,â Mrs. Xu declared with a good-natured laugh.
âIâm just cooking because Iâm free and we have guests today. Youâre making it seem like a bigger deal than it is,â Chen Lei replied modestly, laughing herself.
âMadam, youâre too humble; your cooking skill is unanimously acknowledged as excellent by the family,â Mrs. Xu praised as she handed the chopped green peppers to Chen Lei.
The kitchen staff were busily preparing the meal with great dedication, whilst the handful of people in the living room were happily having a chat. Chu Xiaoqiao rushed to An Haoâs house right after she was expelled by her grandfather.
âSister An Hao, Iâm here,â Chu Xiaoqiao announced as soon as she entered the door, not noticing that her elder brother was present as well.
âXiaoqiao, why did you come alone? Where are your grandmother and the two kids?â Qin Xue inquired of her sister-in-law who had arrived empty-handed.
âThe kids have been snatched by my grandfather. He ousted me as well, saying he doesnât want me disturbing his playtime with the great-grandchildren. It feels like Iâm an unloved child, always being found fault with by everyone,â complained Chu Xiaoqiao. Isnât it said that girls are the ones who are doted on the most? Seems like sheâs the exception.

If Qin Xue knew of Chu Xiaoqiaoâs thoughts, she would definitely scoff at her. Indeed, girls are cherished in modern times, but this was an entirely different era. How could girls be adored? Itâs impressive enough nowadays if people donât prefer boys over girls, let alone dote on girls; shouldnât be too fanciful, Xiaoqiao!
âWhat? Your grandpa took the kids away? Where did he take them?â Qin Xue anxiously asked Chu Xiaoqiao.
âHe didnât really take them anywhere but home. Itâs just that he wanted to hold them himself and not let me, so he sent me out to play,â Chu Xiaoqiao clarified after hearing her sister-in-lawâs question.
âBe more precise when you speak next time. Donât be so vague, you made me worry,â Chu Molinâs aloof voice rang out, startling Chu Xiaoqiao.
âBig brother, when did you arrive?â Only then did Chu Xiaoqiao notice that she had overlooked her elder brotherâs presence.
Chu Molin just glanced at her but didnât answer her question. This left Chu Xiaoqiao at a loss as to how to react.
âSister-in-law, my grandpa just said that he wonât object to you being a daughter-in-law to the Chus anymore. He will take care of things with the Luus, so you two shouldnât worry,â said Chu Xiaoqiao, relaying her grandfatherâs promise to her grandmother.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue snorted. She didnât care at all whether she became the daughter-in-law of the Chus; all she wanted was to be Chu Molinâs wife, nothing else mattered to her.
After hearing it, Chu Molin sneered, âMy wife doesnât need his approval.â
Itâd be safe to say that Chu Molin didnât feel any deep connection to the Chu family. He had grown up in the country with his mother and shortly after returning home, his mother fell sick and died. His father then remarried, and he left home. Other than his stepmother who treated him reasonably well, he didnât harbor any affectionate feelings toward anyone else in that family.
Otherwise, Miao Qingqing wouldnât be vying so much for her grandsonâs acceptance. Once certain things are missed, there is no way to make up for them.
Even though Chu Molinâs current mindset is more mature, it doesnât mean heâs ready to accept these so-called family members. If he hadnât returned home with his mother, perhaps she wouldnât have passed away so soon. How could he let go of this grudge?
Qin Xue felt the change in Chu Molin. She reached out and took his hand, smiling at him.
Chu Molin held his wifeâs hand, lightly brushing his fingers over her palm to reassure her that he was okay and she had no need to worry.
