Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Seeing that Chu Zixuan didn't respond for a long time, Yan Boxi thought he was sick again.

Chu Zixuan ignored him now, so he turned to look at Chu Xiaoran and said, "Sir, why don't we go take a look and choose a gift first. Master Mingli is getting married soon. We can also choose some good gifts, not just bracelets, don't you think?"

Yan Boxi speaks carelessly and doesn't know the relationship between Chu Xiaoran and Chu Zixuan.

In his impression, his son's surname is Xiao.

He didn't know that they were brothers.

Chu Zixuan's expression became increasingly gloomy, until finally, he looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him as if he wanted to eat him.

Chu Xiaoran stretched out his fingers and gently pinched the corner of his clothes, which were a little wrinkled when he sat at the table. He looked up and saw Chu Zixuan looking at him with a resentful expression.

"What? Brother, you still want to snatch Brother Mingli's fiancée? I'm afraid this is not your first time meeting Sister Xue, right? You and I both know what kind of person Sister Xue is. You can't get her by using such despicable means."

How could Chu Xiaoran not know what Chu Zixuan was thinking? Qin Yingxue used to get along well with the Chu family and he had met her twice when they were young.

But later on, he was locked up deep inside the walls and seldom came out, so the people he knew and interacted with the most since childhood were Gu Mingli and the coward Chu Zixuan.

Chu Zixuan usually likes to torture himself for fun.

"Xuan'er, why are you still here? Go back quickly. My aunt's eldest daughter is here to make trouble again. She said that we should split up..."

"Father, why are you here?"

Chu Zixuan's expression changed when he saw Gu Yanshu walking in angrily.

If he found out that I bought something in the jewelry store, he might complain again.

However, what Chu Zixuan hated most was listening to Gu Yanshu talking about some nonsense.

Gu Yanshu is a person who is not only weak, but also a bully who only fears the strong.

It would be fine if she just helped her son bully Chu Xiaoran on weekdays, but she also liked to defend her son in front of Chu Lianqin.

Whenever I receive any gifts, I will first select them for my son before putting them in the warehouse.

He was also very protective of his son, but unfortunately he spoiled his son.

The shopkeeper saw Gu Yanshu coming and hurried forward, complaining, "Master Chu, you are finally here. Just now, Mr. Chu broke two jade pendants in our shop. I won't charge you more than two hundred taels of silver. I admit that the jade pendants are not top-quality goods, but they are also medium-quality. Two hundred taels is not too much, right?"

In the past, when Gu Yanshu heard this number, he would not even blink. But now, the Chu family is in decline and the family’s money has long been divided up. What is left?

It was barely enough to cover the daily expenses of the father and son.

What did the shopkeeper say just now? His son just smashed the jade pendant in the store.

I still need to pay two hundred taels of silver?

Gu Yanshu was unwilling to do so. His expression changed immediately. He looked at the shopkeeper and said unhappily, "If your jade pendant fell to the ground and broke, what does it have to do with my Xuan'er? Isn't your jade pendant of inferior quality? You also said it's not top-quality. Could it be that top-quality jade is indestructible?"

The shopkeeper didn't want to argue with the father and son, after all, they were his old customers and often came to his shop to choose what to buy.

Enough explanations. Now, the whole Yuecheng knows that the Chu family is about to be finished.

Only the father and son know how much money is left.

Chu Zixuan glanced at the shopkeeper in front of him and said coldly, "I won't owe you anything. I will ask the servants to bring you the two jade pendants that were dropped just now. You don't have to be so sarcastic and say these things to my father here."

Gu Yanshu knew that Chu Zixuan was the one who cared most about his reputation outside, so he immediately shut up and didn't say anything more.

"Xuan, we should still..."

"Mr. Chu, you should hurry back to take care of your own affairs. Since you said so, I will wait here. I will ask the servant to bring the money, and the matter will be over."

Chu Zixuan snorted coldly and glanced at Chu Xiaoran behind him. Gu Yanshu followed his line of sight and saw Chu Xiaoran's face. Although he knew that Chu Xiaoran must have come back with the help of a noble person, he did not expect to meet him here.

Perhaps in his heart, he had long believed that Chu Xiaoran was so lowly that he couldn't even enter such a place.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to resolve problems at home and it is difficult to feel at ease when you are away from home.

Chu Zixuan hurriedly followed Gu Yanshu out of the jewelry store and headed towards the Chu family.
