Chapter 180: Intrigue at the Table
However, Fu's mother's eyes went straight past Chen Shuo and she just gave Fu Chaoge a gentle smile, her preference was obvious.
"Why is Li Chuyue here?" Fu Chaoge asked the question directly.
"Oh, Yueyue has been with me the whole day and made me so happy, so I asked her to stay for dinner."
Mother Fu finally paid some attention to Chen Shu, but there was not much kindness in her eyes.
Faced with such a scenario, Chen Shuo knew the importance of staying calm.
She met Mother Fu's gaze and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Such a reaction would often make the other party even more angry, which was exactly the effect she wanted.
At the dinner table, Chen Shuo gently pulled Fu Chaoge, who wanted to leave several times, and made him sit down steadily on the chair. He then personally served him a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of him.
"Yueyue, come and sit next to me." She invited gently.
Mother Fu glared at Chen Shu and sneered in her heart, thinking that Chen Shu was just trying to keep up appearances. Let's see how long she can keep up the act.
In her eyes, Chen Shu was just forcing himself to keep smiling, and the anger in his heart was probably already surging.
"Aunt, I think I should go home first." Li Chuyue said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Why go back? You'll need a meal here. Yueyue is so sensible, much better than some people." Mother Fu's words were ambiguous and clearly meant something.
Chen Shuo silently served himself a bowl of soup, blew on it gently to cool it down, with a faint smile on his lips.
She had originally planned to give Fu's mother some face as an elder, but the moment she saw Li Chuyue, that thought disappeared.
The other party had been provoking her again and again, and she was not a pushover, so how could she endure it in vain?
Thinking of his previous decision to refuse to live with Fu's mother, Chen Shu was secretly glad.
Otherwise, these days would be even more thrilling than the ancient palace fighting dramas.
Fu Chaoge looked down at Chen Shu who was drinking soup seriously, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and gently placed it on the plate in front of Chen Shu.
"Chao Ge, there are guests here, you should also pick some food for Yueyue." Fu's mother reminded.
"Don't she have hands?" Fu Chaoge responded coldly. This sentence left Fu's mother speechless. She glared at Chen Shu fiercely and put down her chopsticks heavily. The sound was so loud that even Chen Shu, who pretended not to hear, had to look up.
"Is this how you treat guests? When there are guests at home, you only care about eating. Do you have any manners at all?" Fu's mother accused dissatisfiedly.
Chen Shu chuckled, and it was obvious that he was talking to her.
She calmly put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth gracefully. Her eyes moved between Li Chuyue and Fu's mother, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Shushu, if you don't feel comfortable with this meal, let's leave now." Before Chen Shu could speak, Fu Chaoge had already held her hand. The cold words echoed in the living room, making Fu's mother's face turn pale instantly.
"Chao Ge, you... am I wrong? You are actually going against me for this woman? What's so good about her? I think she is just a disaster that brings trouble to the family!"
"Aunt, please don't say that."
"Yueyue, you don't have to say good things for her. You are just too kind. Look at how she treats you." Mother Fu was so emotional that she even slammed the table hard, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Fu Chaoge held Chen Shu's hand tightly, a chill emanating from him, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
Especially when he saw Chen Shu silently enduring everything without saying a word, his anger became even more difficult to contain.
He didn't understand why his mother became like this and why she was so aggressive.
"Since mother likes her so much, why not just adopt her as your adopted daughter?" Fu Chaoge's words were so cold that even Chen Shuo could feel the chill.
"Chao Ge, what do you mean?" Fu's mother asked in astonishment.
"Brother Fu, I..." Li Chuyue was also stunned and didn't know how to respond.
"Isn't mother in need of a daughter? And you like Yueyue so much, isn't this the best of both worlds?" There was no warmth in Fu Chaoge's tone.
Chen Shuo raised his head and looked at Fu Chaoge, who had a gloomy face beside him, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually dissipated.
She felt Fu Chaoge's protection and was deeply moved.
She held Fu Chaoge's hand tightly and shook it gently to show her support and understanding.
She is not a saint and will not stop Fu Chaoge from doing anything.
Mrs. Fu had never been kind to her, and there was no need for her to please her.
But if Fu's mother continued to target her like this, she would not be able to endure it any longer.
As for why Li Chuyue appeared here, perhaps only Fu's mother and Li Chuyue herself knew the reason.
"Chao Ge, you don't understand my heart at all." Fu's mother finally spoke, with endless sadness in her voice.
"I understand, so I shouldn't have brought Chen Shu back today." After Fu Chaoge finished speaking, a cold aura emanating from his body. He pulled Chen Shu up from the chair and left the living room without looking back.
Li Chuyue looked at their departing backs and opened her mouth to ask them to stay.
Li Chuyue secretly glanced at Fu's mother who had a sad face, and finally swallowed back what was in her heart.
"Aunt, don't be sad. Brother Fu just doesn't understand your good intentions yet." She comforted him softly.
"Yueyue, tell me, what did I do wrong?" Mother Fu turned around, her eyes full of confusion.
Li Chuyue walked to Fu's mother, patted her back gently, frowned, and her eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with Fu Chaoge.
"Aunt, you are right. It was Brother Fu who was bewitched by that woman."
"Yes! It must be that vixen Chen Shu who did this! Yueyue, do you feel any changes in your body?"
When Fu's mother suddenly mentioned this topic, Li Chuyue's face instantly darkened. She shook her head, feeling secretly anxious.
How she wished she could react quickly, so that Fu Chaoge might not push her away so easily again.
"Yueyue, come here, I want to tell you something." Fu's mother greeted mysteriously.
Although she felt a little impatient, Li Chuyue still tried hard to suppress her emotions and pretended to be well-behaved as she approached Fu's mother.
In the black Porsche on the other side, the small space was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Chen Shu rubbed his arms unconsciously, trying to dispel the chill around him.
At this moment, Fu Chaoge suddenly took action. He took off his suit and put it on Chen Shu.
"...Are you still angry?" he asked in a low voice, but then he added, "Let's go back after dinner."
Chen Shuo did not continue to ask questions, because the coldness emanating from Fu Chaoge already explained it all.
She silently accepted the silent apology.
After a long time, just when Chen Shu thought Fu Chaoge would not speak again, he suddenly heard his gentle apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."
Chen Shuo was slightly stunned and turned to look at Fu Chaoge. Their eyes met in the dark carriage.
She caught a fleeting hint of apology in those deep eyes, which made her feel warm in her heart.
"No one can predict the future, and my mother has some misunderstandings about me," Chen Shuo replied softly. She didn't say anything more because they all knew the source of the misunderstanding.
As for whether and how this misunderstanding can be resolved, it is not something she needs to worry about now.
Perhaps as long as Li Chuyue stays with Fu's mother, this misunderstanding will only deepen and not diminish.
