The night was deep, and many people had already fallen asleep, but in Chu Mucheng’s ho, the atmosphere was sowhat cold and heavy.
This New Year... how should one say it? It had a unique flavor.
Now, with An Xiaoyu gone and Su Linxue deceased, only three of them remained in the family.
Chu Yihong, Chu Mucheng, Chu Mushan.
Originally, they were kin, bound by blood, thicker than water. But now, they realized they truly... didn’t understand each other. Even sitting together, they were silently facing each other without a word.
Since Su Linxue’s death, Chu Yihong seed to have aged overnight, becoming taciturn. The once spirited and elegant middle-aged man now appeared nothing but withered.
And Chu Mushan?
Originally, when An Xiaoyu and Su Linxue were at the house, Chu Mushan found them an eyesore, always picking fights, deliberately turning the household upside down.
She wanted others to know she was the real young lady of the house, while Su Linxue and An Xiaoyu were just outsiders!
She used to clash with An Xiaoyu, trying to surpass her in every way, always thinking of driving An Xiaoyu out of the house.
Now, An Xiaoyu had beco Shen Yufeng’s wife!
Chu Mushan had mocked An Xiaoyu in the past, calling her a sycophant, saying how could Shen Yufeng be interested in such an unimpressive woman, but in the end?
At Su Linxue’s funeral, not only did Shen Yufeng attend, even Shen Yufeng’s parents appeared! And they all stayed by An Xiaoyu’s side.
At that mont, in front of many relatives and friends, Chu Mushan was slapped in the face, and it really hurt!
Now that Su Linxue and An Xiaoyu were gone, the family was left with just the two siblings and their father. But for so reason, Chu Mushan felt as if Su Linxue’s departure had taken Chu Yihong’s spirit with her.
And today, the third day of the lunar New Year, was a day for paying respects, yet Chu Yihong first visited Su Linxue’s morial before his own mother’s, and just the thought of this made Chu Mushan uneasy again.
Even in death, Su Linxue’s weight in her father’s heart... remained more significant than their mother!
And Chu Mucheng?
Since the series of events in the Chu Family, Chu Mucheng seed to have beco more silent than before.
Just staying in the house felt sowhat suffocating.
After mother passed, Su Linxue married into the family, and during the New Year, Su Linxue busied herself around, even personally cooking als, and whenever she faced the siblings, her face was always full of smiles.
Actually, Su Linxue was very beautiful, her smile warm, but Chu Mucheng turned a blind eye to it.
Over the years, Su Linxue had always been so cautious in front of their family, in front of the siblings.
Su Linxue genuinely cared about them, this, Chu Mucheng could feel.
But when you dislike soone, no matter what they do, you view them through tinted lenses.
So, while Chu Mucheng got along on the surface, he never showed closeness to Su Linxue.
Later on, An Xiaoyu ca into the family.
The appearance of An Xiaoyu added a different flavor to the household.
At that ti, bullying An Xiaoyu... beca his pleasure.
Since Su Linxue was an adult and had the father’s backing, he wasn’t foolish enough to target Su Linxue directly, so An Xiaoyu beca his target.
He just wanted to bully her, watch her cry, and in doing so, he felt so comfort inside.
As if, bullying her was his source of fun.
