Chapter 632: Chapter 633: Subjugating the Gu King (Part 2)
Everyone knows, itâs all thanks to Nianyang, okay?
Chu Huan clearly got herself into trouble. It was better when she didnât appear in front of the old patriarch of the Chu Family. The old patriarch had just woken up, his mind was a jumble, and he couldnât remember many things instantly. That piercing "Grandpa" from Chu Huan was like a switch that got turned on. The old patriarchâs pupils suddenly dilated, and he immediately shook off Chu Huan forcefully.
"Get away! Get away! You are not my granddaughter. You are not allowed to call me Grandpa!"
Chu Huan, caught off guard, was thrown to the ground and tried to get up again!
Chu Tianming patted the old patriarchâs back, fearing that he might get agitated and fall ill again. He yelled fiercely at Chu Huan, "Behave yourself!"
This troublesome girl, knowing full well the old man disliked her and couldnât handle agitation, yet she still paraded in front of him. What exactly is she up to?
Indeed, an ingrate is always an ingrate, never truly loyal.
The old patriarchâs eyes widened as he recalled everything. He clutched Chu Tianmingâs hand and said, "Where is Mrs. Dong? Sheâs the one who agitated me; she wants to kill me, make me fall off the stairs. Go get her, quickly! She wants our Chu Family never to find Nannan again; she wants to plot and kill my granddaughter!"
Chu Tianming understood the first part of the patriarchâs words, but the latter part was a complete mystery. However, instead of asking, he hurried to reassure him, "Dad, donât worry. Dad, calm down. Weâve already figured it all out, already figured it out. Itâs Mrs. Dong, that old woman who harmed you. Weâve already caught her. She wonât hurt you again!"
The old patriarch looked intently at Chu Tianming, "What about my granddaughter? Nannan? Why havenât you brought Nannan back? Is this how you are as a father?"
"Dad, what are you saying?" Chu Tianming frowned, "Havenât we already said it? Nannan is already dead. Dad, youâve just recovered; donât be so obstinate!"
"What nonsense are you speaking, cursing your daughter? How can you be a father?"
The old patriarch was angered, his face turning red, and began to cough violently.
"Dad, Dad, donât be mad, itâs Tianming talking nonsense, donât listen to him!" Yunrou patted the old patriarchâs back and glared fiercely at Chu Tianming. Whatâs wrong with him, knowing full well Dad cares most about Nannan, even if heâs trying to placate the old patriarch, he must go along with what the patriarch wants!
The old patriarch finally caught his breath and looked at Yunrou,
"Ah Rou, your daughter isnât dead. She is Nianyang, the one who treated me. She looks just like my late sister. It canât be wrong, it canât be wrong. I said Nannan wasnât dead, look, Iâve finally found her."
Yunrou was dumbfounded, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Isnât Nianyang Li Tingyanâs wife? How could she have anything to do with our missing Nannan!"
Chu Tianming said, "Dad, I know you like Nianyang, but you canât just go around calling young ladies your granddaughter. Nannan has been missing for eighteen years; where can we find her now? Sheâs been long gone with little hope for survival!"
Chu Huan swallowed hard and timidly said, "Yeah, Grandpa, are you hallucinating? Gu Nianyang is just a country girl, how could she be the Chu familyâs daughter? You must be having memory confusion after your brain surgery; there are so many people who look alike..."
The old patriarch ignored Chu Huan and said sternly,
"What, Iâve been ill for more than half a year, put up with a lot, and you think Iâm not lucid anymore.
Canât even figure out the basic truth anymore? From start to finish, the truly foolish ones are the few of you!"
