At the Chu Manor’s entrance.

At the moment the Bentley’s door was opened by the butler, everyone turned to look over.

The first thing that entered their vision was a pair of shiny black leather shoes, followed by a well-tailored black suit. The suit made the pair of legs appear long and straight, the shoulders broad, and the waist slim. The person dressed in the suit appeared to have a straight and tall figure, like a javelin.

Everyone then turned to look at the face of this person. The man’s phoenix eyes brought out his cold disposition. He had a tall nose and a staunch jawline that concealed his great looks, giving off a tough and determined feeling.

Chu Cichen’s way of doing things was indeed intrepid. Ever since he took over the company, he had always stood by his words and had ruthless means. These old shareholders in the company were all a little scared of him. This was why they came to the Chu Manor, wanting to have Matriarch Chu to help mediate things.

However, the moment Chu Cichen came home, all the arguments at the entrance stopped.

Chu Cichen walked over, his phoenix eyes scanning everyone with a hint of arrogance. He then spoke in a deep voice, “What are you guys doing?”

None of the shareholders dared to say a word, and all of them turned their gazes at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was Chu Cichen’s third uncle after all. With everyone looking at him, he forced himself to speak up, “Cichen, it’s like this. We know that you’re now going against Dugu Xiao and things are already a little difficult for the company. Yet, Cimo is creating trouble here… So we’re here to persuade him.”

Chu Cichen turned to look at Chu Cimo.

Chu Cimo, who didn’t cower despite facing all the shareholders earlier, was so scared that he shrank his neck.

Chu Cichen instantly frowned and scolded, “If you have something to say, just say it! Your behavior is unacceptable!”

“…” Chu Cimo then straightened his back. “Brother, it’s that… the Internet is saying that I snatched someone else’s wife and is a third party… These people are also going off saying that I’ve affected the value of the company’s stock.”

Hearing this, Chu Cichen glanced at Lu Cheng who was next to him.

Lu Cheng instantly found the news in question and handed Chu Cichen his phone.

After Chu Cichen took a look at it, he furrowed his brows deeply.

When the other shareholders saw Chu Cichen like this, they took a step forward and said, “CEO Chu, Young Master Mo is too outrageous. Please take him in hand…”

Chu Cimo knew that he had gone a little overboard this time around, and he shrank his neck, saying, “Brother, I really like her a lot… I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. I’ll earn the money to make up for the company’s losses.”

“I understand,” Chu Cichen replied indifferently then looked at the shareholders again. “Do you guys have any other problems?”

This nonchalant attitude…

The shareholders were driven crazy and quickly said, “CEO Chu, aren’t you going to take Young Master Mo in hand?”

“Didn’t he say that… he’ll make up for the company’s losses? If you guys are worried, you can sell him your stocks at their original price.”

Chu Chichen made the call.

He was clearly being even more protective than Matriarch Chu was!!

Everyone was in a bit of disbelief and some of them were a little tempted. “Is what CEO Chu said real?”

“That’s right.”

Chu Cichen strode into the house. “We’ll be waiting.”

After Chu Cichen entered the house, the rest of the shareholders looked at Matriarch Chu. Matriarch Chu waved her hand. “You guys are all seniors in the company. It’s true that our family is the one who caused this problem, so we’ll take responsibility. If anyone wishes to sell their shares, then just look for Lu Cheng.”

She then pulled Chu Cimo into the house.

After the two of them entered the living room, they saw that Chu Cichen was about to head upstairs. Matriarch Chu frowned. “Cichen, although you can appease them like this, this is just temporary. You’ll still have to think of a more permanent solution.”

“I know.”

Chu Cichen headed upstairs after saying this.

In the living room, Matriarch Chu pointed to the sofa and said to Chu Cimo, “Sit down.”

Chu Cimo sat down obediently. “Mother, you don’t have to worry about the money. I actually have some private savings…”

“How much can you have?” Matriarch Chu sighed. “Don’t worry about the money. I have them. If anyone comes to sell their shares, we’ll just buy them. This is a good chance to buy back some of the Chu Corporation’s shares.”

After saying that, she sighed. “What I’m worried about now isn’t the money, it’s you!”

She said solemnly, “Cimo, are you really prepared to be a stepfather?”

Chu Cimo nodded. “Yes, I’ll do my best to treat her well as if she’s my biological daughter. I’ll also prepare assets for her in the future.”

He initially despised Yan Xiaoqi a little.

However, after Bai Shanshan said that she didn’t wish for her daughter to feel aggrieved, Chu Cimo thought that he would have to suck it up and be a good stepfather to Yan Xiaoqi.

Matriarch Chu lowered her gaze. “Do you think that it’s so simple to become someone’s stepfather? One can be biased even toward their biological children, let alone toward one who isn’t their biological child. How do you think I treat Chu Ciyuan?”

At the mention of this, Chu Cimo immediately said, “Mother has done your utmost for him!”

Matriarch Chu then looked at Chu Cimo. “But look at how he is now? He is full of resentment toward me…”

Chu Cimo said indignantly, “That’s because his conscience has been fed to the dogs! Since young, was there anything that I had that he wasn’t given? Despite this, he’s still complaining that you’re biased…”

“Do you know why?” Matriarch Chu asked.

Chu Cimo shook his head.

Matriarch Chu sighed. “It’s because when you guys were eight years old, he contracted Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease and infected you with it, so the two of you got sick at the same time. One of you is my biological son, while the other isn’t. Moreover, his condition was less serious than yours. So of course, I chose to watch over you. Since then, he harbored hatred toward me. Cimo, it’s hard to be a stepmother. You still don’t understand this now.”

At this moment, Chu Tianye and Chu Yu came home from school.

When Matriarch Chu saw them, she asked, “If Tianye and that child were to both fall into the water at the same time, who would you save?”

Chu Cimo immediately replied, “I’ll naturally save Tianye!”

Chu Tianye was his nephew!

However, after Chu Cimo subconsciously replied, he finally realized what the reality was.

He frowned.

Matriarch Chu didn’t continue talking.

Chu Tianye who had just entered the door. “??”

The child quietly raised his hand. “Erm, Grandmother, Uncle, I’m sorry to interrupt. Is there a possibility that I know how to swim?”

Chu Yu asked, “You know how to swim? Then teach me when you’re free.”

“Sure!” Chu Tianye patted Chu Yu’s shoulder. “I spent $5,000 when I learned to swim back then. I’ll give you a discount, $4,900! But why do you want to learn to swim?”

Chu Yu. “It’s because I don’t want to be someone else’s multiple-choice question.”

“…”

As the two of them spoke to each other, they went upstairs to put down their bags.

Looking at their back views, Chu Cimo thought of Yan Xiaoqi.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoqi was secretly crying in her room.

She had dragged her mommy down. Without her, her mommy would be able to live happily with that bad uncle, right?

Madam Yan was bawling loudly outside.

After Madam Yan left the Chu Manor, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Therefore, she made her way to the Bai Family’s residence and cried loudly, making a fuss.

“Everyone, come over and take a look! My daughter-in-law has an affair, yet she still wants to take away my only granddaughter with her! How can she do that?!”

At the district’s entrance.

Shen Ruojing, who had just gotten her hands on the DNA results, came quickly on her motorbike. She wanted to tell Bai Shanshan the results of the test.
