Chapter 549: Chu Hongqing’s Anger

Chapter 549: Chu Hongqing’s Anger

“Father, you might not know this, but when Grandpa and I were under the curse, Aunt and her sister had seen a strange old man. As to whether that old man was the same person who cast the curse on me, there’s still some discussion.”

After hearing Chu Yan’s words, Chu Hongzhong frowned slightly. “Now that you mention it, there’s indeed something wrong with your aunt.”

Chu Yan nodded. “So, Father, try not to let her get close to Grandpa, Grandma, or Xiao Jiang in the future. I’m afraid that they will be in danger. If possible, try to stay away from her.”

“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll explain it to your mother in private.”

—————

Jiang Yan was in an awkward situation. She kept feeling that Chu Yan looked at her strangely today.

In the past, although Chu Yan did not like her much, he would definitely not ignore her like this or even disrespect her.

Did he know something?

No, that was impossible. She had done it so secretly, no one should know.

Chu Yan probably only suspected her and did not have concrete evidence.

Otherwise, with Chu Yan’s personality, he would have long exposed her.

“Why are you still standing there?”

Seeing her standing at the side without moving, the Old Madam could not help but frown.

“Oh, I just thought of something.”

Jiang Yan suppressed the unease in her heart and walked towards Old Madam and Fu Ting with a smile.

“Have Mother and Sister-in-law eaten? Shall I go downstairs to buy some food for you?”

“No need. Your sister-in-law has already brought food over. Everyone has eaten.”

As the Old Madam spoke, she looked at Chu Lin and said, “Lin Er, you’re in your third year now. Hurry up and go back to study. There’s no need to stay here. Your grandpa won’t die yet.”

“What are you saying?” The Old Master glared at the Old Madam and looked at Chu Lin. “Your grandma is right. You should study hard. You have to help your brother manage the company in the future. You can’t just stay here.”

Chu Lin’s results were indeed good for ordinary students.

However, in the Chu family, they were indeed very ordinary. They could even be said to be inconspicuous.

Chu Hongqing looked at his son and said, “Listen to your grandparents and go back.”

Chu Lin could not wait to leave. If he did not want to pretend to be a filial grandson, he would not have come over.

Hence, when he heard his father speak, he did not want to stay any longer.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll go back and revise first. I’ll come over to visit you later.”

The two elders nodded at the same time. “Go ahead.”

Jiang Yan threw looks at her son, but Chu Lin did not notice it at all.

Instead, he could not wait to slip away.

However, when Fu Ting saw this scene, a cold smile flashed across her eyes and she did not say anything.

Although Jiang Yan appeared to be an open-minded and magnanimous person, she was actually a calculative person.

All these years, the reason why she chose to live in City H and was unwilling to return to the capital was because she did not want to see Jiang Yan’s hypocritical face.

“Father, you have to ask Butler Hong what you want to eat in the future. Don’t stuff it into your mouth without knowing anything. It scared everyone to death!”

Chu Hongqing mumbled fearfully.

However, Jiang Yan’s heart jumped when she heard his words.

Old Master Chu fell into deep thought.

“This Butler Hong is just a dabbler. How would he know these things?”

Jiang Yan smiled. “Father, if you have anything you don’t understand in the future, ask me.”

“Enough.”

The Old Master sighed softly and said, “Aren’t I still alive and well? You don’t have to be so anxious. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Jiang Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

She could not let Old Master suspect Butler Hong. If Butler Hong accidentally revealed that she had bribed him, she would be finished.

Old Master was a strict and rigid person. He could not tolerate schemes, especially when his daughter-in-law plotted against him.

If he knew that she wanted his life, she would probably be kicked out of the house tomorrow.

This was still considered light. If it was heavier, the Jiang family might be implicated.

Hence, she could not let anyone in the Chu family know about this. Not even her son!

At the Chu family, Butler Hong, who knew that Old Master had woken up, felt a little uneasy.

It was Second Madam who told him that as long as Old Master ate the food he gave him, he would never have the chance to wake up again. No one would suspect him.

Actually, the food was normal. It was nothing to have eaten them.

What really poisoned Old Master should be something else.

After all, he had checked all the food. There was no problem of antagonism at all.

When he thought of this, his heart calmed down.

He even took the initiative to ask Chu Hongzhong about the Old Master’s health.

“Old Master is doing well. He even ate a big bowl of porridge today. The doctor said that he can be discharged this afternoon. However, for safety’s sake, he should stay and be observed for two more days.”

Chu Hongzhong did not suspect Butler Hong. After all, he had been quite obedient all these years.

On the other hand, Chu Yan quickly found Jiang Yan’s two transaction records.

One sum was two million yuan. The recipient was a person called Hong Bo. As to his relationship with Butler Hong, Chu Yan temporarily did not know.

The other transaction had been canceled, so they could not find out who it was.

“Ah Yan, what do you want to do next?”

Lu Sheng sat beside him and supported her head with her hand.

“I won’t expose her deeds in public, but I’ll hand them over to Second Uncle to let him decide.”

Old Master had just recovered, so it was not appropriate for him to know these.

However, he believed that Chu Hongqing would understand what he meant. It was up to Chu Hongqing to decide what to do next.

Of course, no matter what Chu Hongqing decided, he would respect him.

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “When are we returning to City H?”

“City H…”

Chu Yan looked at her hesitantly. He pursed his thin lips and said softly, “I want to remain at the capital.”

Lu Sheng’s expression paused before she smiled and said, “Have you decided?”

Chu Yan nodded slightly. “Yes.”

Now, his father and mother were in City H, but Chu Jiang and Grandma were in the capital. Uncle and Grandpa were busy with business, so they should rarely be home.

He smiled faintly. “Of course, if Second Uncle can make the right decision, it doesn’t matter if I stay in the capital or not.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “It’s alright to return to the capital.”

Chu Yan’s smile disappeared and his eyes were filled with disappointment.

When he said that he wanted to transfer back, she did not seem reluctant at all.

Did she… like him?

“Young Master, it’s time to eat!”

Someone knocked on the door and Butler Hong’s voice was heard.

“Coming.”

Chu Yan replied faintly.

After Butler Hong went downstairs, he looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Sheng Sheng, I… might stay here for a few more days. If you want to go back, I’ll get someone to book a plane ticket for you tomorrow morning.”

He wanted to go back with Lu Sheng, but the matter with the Chu family had not been resolved yet. He could not go back yet.

“I’m fine.” Lu Sheng shrugged. “I can go back anytime.”

Anyway, it did not matter if she attended school or not.

Chu Yan smiled, but he still had to confirm. “Won’t it delay your time?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Do I look like I have something to do?”

He chuckled and subconsciously rubbed her head.

Halfway through rubbing, he finally regained his senses and retracted his hand. Blushing, he mumbled an apology.

Lu Sheng did not think much of it and only smiled faintly.

—————

That night, Chu Yan received news from a spy that Hong Bo was Butler Hong’s brother. He had been disabled since he was young and had never gone out.

Why would Jiang Yan give a disabled person who had never gone out money? The answer was obvious.

After Chu Yan tidied everything up, he placed them in the cabinet and hid them.

The next morning, Chu Yan brought Lu Sheng to find Chu Hongqing in private and passed the records of the two transfers to Chu Hongqing.

“Yan Er, what’s this?”

Chu Hongqing took the documents and asked in confusion.

Chu Yan gestured for him to open them. “Second Uncle, you’ll know after you see it.”

There were only three people in the room. Lu Sheng was eating silently while Chu Hongqing started to open the documents suspiciously.

When he saw the first copy, his expression had already started to change. After seeing it, even his lips were trembling slightly.

“Second Uncle, these are real things. Aunt… really wanted to kill Grandpa.”

Chu Hongqing knew that Chu Yan would not lie. He also knew that he would not lie about such things.

“So, you’re saying that your aunt and Butler Hong teamed up to kill your grandfather?” he asked in a trembling voice.

Chu Yan nodded. “This is the test report for the tea.”

“This is…?”

“This is the tea Cousin made for Grandpa. The tea itself is non-toxic, but together with some ingredients in the food, it produces a type of poison that messes up one’s mind. In serious cases, one will die from diarrhea.”

“What?” Chu Hongqing was shocked. “Lin Er was involved too?”

Chu Yan shook his head. “I’m not sure if Cousin participated, but it can prove that Aunt is involved.”

“This vicious woman!”

Chu Hongqing clenched the documents in his hand angrily.

Chu Yan said lightly, “I’ve already finished speaking. What to do next will depend on Second Uncle. Of course, no matter what outcome you choose, I’ll respect you.”

“Yan Er, don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter.”

As Chu Hongqing spoke, he picked up the car key on the table and went to the front desk to pay the bill. Then, he left with the documents.

“What do you think your Second Uncle will choose?”

Lu Sheng took out a piece of paper, wiped her mouth, and asked Chu Yan.

Chu Yan smiled faintly. “I think he will divorce Jiang Yan.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she nodded and said, “I think so too.”

“Oh?” Chu Yan raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

He felt that it was because he knew Chu Hongqing well enough, but Lu Sheng had only met Chu Hongqing twice.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Instinct.”

She understood Chu Hongqing’s temper in her previous life. He seemed to have a good temper, but once he decided on something, he would be very stubborn.

Lu Sheng sent Lu Zhou a message asking him to help her take a few days off.

As for the reason, Lu Sheng knew without thinking that he would say it was related to the relapse of her heart disease.

Indeed, after a while, the other party replied. He said that he told Teacher Li that she had a relapse of heart disease and had been transferred to the capital for treatment, so that she could receive proper treatment there.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

Indeed, it was as she had expected.

That day, when Chu Yan and Lu Sheng returned to the Chu family, they heard a commotion in the living room.

Thankfully, Old Master was still in the hospital and Chu Hongzhong and Fu Ting were not around.

“Father, it’s not that I want to scold you, but can other people’s words be trusted? You and Mother have been together for more than ten to twenty years. How can you not know what kind of person she is?”

Chu Lin’s persuading voice came from the room.

“I only feel that he’s not lying because I know what kind of person your mother is.”

Chu Hongqing smiled coldly. “Jiang Yan, I already know that you bribed Butler Hong and asked Lin Er to make tea for Old Master. Either we divorce, or I’ll mention this to Father, Mother, Brother, and Sister-in-law and let them decide for themselves.”

“Father, are you crazy?!” Chu Lin was shocked. “I made tea? What’s wrong with the tea I made? I’ve checked. It’s tea to lower blood pressure. Drinking it is good for the body.”

“Yes, there’s nothing wrong with drinking it alone. However, combined with the food Butler Hong sent over, it can kill someone.”

“Old Master, I was wrong!” Jiang Yan cried and shouted. “I only did such a thing because I was obsessed. Please forgive me this once, alright?!”

“Mother, what do you mean?” Chu Lin looked at Jiang Yan in surprise. “Are you admitting that you wanted to poison Grandpa to death? You even made use of me?”

“I… I had no choice!” Jiang Yan said tearfully. “It’s all because your father was useless. Old Master kept saying that he wanted to leave the company to Chu Yan. He even found a lawyer in advance to make a will. Wasn’t I afraid?”

“Afraid?” Chu Hongqing smiled coldly. “If I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of? The company was founded by Father and Brother. What’s wrong with giving it to Yan Er? An ignorant woman like you shouldn’t enter the Chu family again. Get lost now!”

“Lin Er, please beg your father not to divorce me!”

“Father…”

Chu Lin was about to speak when he was frightened by Chu Hongqing’s gaze and did not dare to speak further.

He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly helped Jiang Yan up. “Mother, Father is still angry. Why don’t you go back to Grandma’s house first and come back when Father’s anger has dissipated?”

“No, your father is serious. He will really divorce me!”

Jiang Yan was unwilling to get up from the ground, and Chu Lin had no choice.

He wanted to plead with Chu Hongqing for her, but Chu Hongqing had already gone upstairs.

Chu Yan waited for Chu Hongqing to go upstairs before entering the hall with Lu Sheng.

When Jiang Yan and Chu Lin saw the two of them, their faces paled.

“When… when did you come back?” Chu Lin asked Chu Yan nervously.

Chu Yan glanced at the mother-son pair indifferently and did not have the intention to speak.

Chu Hongqing sent all the servants, including Butler Hong, away.

It was obvious that Chu Hongqing did take into account their husband-wife relationship. He wanted Jiang Yan to leave the Chu family with dignity.

“Do you want to hear it?”

Lu Sheng suddenly stopped and asked the woman with a smile.

Chu Lin frowned at her, but his palms were already sweating.
