Chapter 450: Chapter 451: Treating Grandpa Chu (Part 7)
Yunrou was at a loss for words. If she wasnât afraid of hurting Chu Huanâs feelings, she really wanted to retort, "Your grandfather doesnât even care about you. You should be thankful if he doesnât scold you for saying such things, let alone expect him to help you. Dream on!"
"Youâre being ridiculous!"
Coming home from work, Chu Tianming heard what Chu Huan said and immediately reprimanded her with authority!
"Tianming, youâre back," Yunrou said.
"Dad!"
Chu Huanâs face turned slightly pale as she looked nervously at her fatherâs face.
In this family, besides her grandfather, she feared Chu Tianming the most because he was extremely stern.
"Chu Huan, how have I taught you? As members of the Chu Family, we should be open-minded, not resort to deceitful schemes, and never use power to oppress others. To get to where I am today, Iâve been through countless storms and so many people are watching me. I canât afford to make any mistakes. As my daughter, not only do you fail to alleviate my worries, but you also create trouble for me?"
"Dad, donât be angry. I was just frustrated. The Li Family clearly promised that Tingyan would marry me, but then they backed out. They completely disregarded our Chu Family. I just wanted to intimidate them a little..." Chu Huan said with grievance.
Chu Tianming responded coldly, "The matter between you and Li Tingyan was just casually mentioned by the adults. Itâs great if it works out; if not, let it go. How can you turn it into a vendetta?
Our family and the Li Family have had a good relationship for many years. How can we ruin it over a small issue? Offending the Li Family does us no good at all, canât you understand that? Is your mind only filled with romantic fantasies?"
Chu Huanâs eyes turned red, and she didnât dare to argue back!
"Also, when youâre out, donât misuse your grandfatherâs name. Youâve seen that your grandfather is now half-paralyzed and canât even speak. His health is so poor, and instead of caring for him, you think of using him. How could you be so inconsiderate?"
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please donât be angry..."
Seeing Chu Tianming angry, Chu Huan quickly admitted her mistakes sensibly. In this family, Chu Tianming was the head, and she couldnât make him angry, or her status would diminish even further.
"Alright, go and reflect on yourself,"
Chu Tianming waved his hand, and Chu Huan reluctantly bit her lip and walked away.
As she stepped outside, she heard Chu Tianming complaining to Yunrou, "Look here, I told you not to adopt her back then, but you insisted. Now see, sheâs nothing but trouble, bringing trouble to the family every day, a thankless wretch!"
Yunrou replied, "Youâre being too harsh. Xiaohuan is just being immature, she still needs more guidance from us!"
Chu Tianming sighed, "If only our daughter were still alive. Look how excellent our son Xiaozhan is; our daughter would definitely be even more outstanding. Our genes are good, and the daughter we raised would surely be our pride. Indeed, thereâs no comparison between biological and adopted."
"Alright, stop thinking about it. The more you think, the more upset youâll be. Tonight, you might not even be able to sleep again."
"Sigh..."
Chu Huanâs face contorted. She always knew that no matter what she did, this couple still held a place in their hearts for the deceased Chu Familyâs eldest daughter!
They say itâs for the sake of the Chu Family, but itâs all nonsense, all excuses!
They never treated her as their own daughter, so they never wanted to take risks for her!
Chu Huan could guarantee, if she were truly the Chu Familyâs eldest daughter, let alone wanting to marry Li Tingyan, even if she wanted the stars, they would get them for her.
