National Guardian's Gone and We're Done Chapter 132: I’m Telling You It’s Absolutely Impossible, Don

A faint, contemptuous smile played on Chu He’s lips.

Even before he stepped into the five-star hotel,

Chu He’s Primordial Spirit Power had already swept through, covering every private room inside,

and had precisely located the room where his father’s relatives—people he had never t—were gathered.

"Chu Donglai is so damn lucky, having such an outstanding son."

"I used to mock him for not having a son to carry on the Chu Family line. I wonder if Chu Donglai will hold a grudge."

"Relax, he won’t. You know how simple and honest Chu Donglai is. He’s clueless."

"I borrowed thirty thousand from Chu Donglai five years ago and still haven’t paid it back. Now that his family is so rich, they probably won’t care about such a small amount, right?"

"Thirty thousand? That’s not even a fraction of what Chu He makes in a single day."

"My son is about to take his college entrance exams. Chu He is the dean of the Great Xia Empire’s number-one National Road Academy. Getting my son in shouldn’t be too hard, right? After all, he’s Chu He’s cousin."

"Ah, too bad my daughter has another two years until her exams, or she could have gotten in with your son."

"My girl is already in her thirties and only makes two thousand a month.

What do you all think? Could we get Chu He to arrange a teaching position for her at the National Road Academy?

She can’t teach Martial Arts, sure, but other jobs should be fine, right?

Like a student life advisor or sothing. I hear the salaries for staff at the National Road Academy are sky-high. Even the lowest-paid positions make thirty to fifty thousand a month."

"You all are worrying for nothing. A son has to listen to his father, and you all know what his old man is like.

We just need to get ahold of Chu Donglai later and lay on the praise. He’s a real softy."

This conversation continued right up until Chu He’s family of five pushed open the door and walked in.

"Chu Jiaqing and Chu Jiai, my, you’ve grown so big! You’ve blossod so beautifully. Absolutely gorgeous.

Chu Donglai, I’m so envious of you. Each of your children is more outstanding than the last. Our family really needs to learn from you."

"Chu Donglai, when I heard the boy was coming ho, I was too excited to sleep for two whole nights."

"The poor boy, all alone out there with no one to rely on. But it’s all better now. He’s ho, and he has us, his family."

"Alright, that’s enough. Chu Donglai’s family just arrived; they haven’t even had a chance to sit down for a sip of water. Look at you all, chattering away. Let them rest a bit."

These relatives appeared to be speaking to Chu Donglai and Yang Xiaochun,

but in reality, from the mont Chu He walked into the room, their eyes had never left him.

Chu He saw through it all as if looking into a clear mirror, but he didn’t call them out, simply finding a seat and sitting down.

"Why did you all book such an expensive hotel? This must have cost a fortune."

Chu Donglai said in surprise as he looked around the massive private room.

It was precisely because they were relatives that Chu Donglai knew their financial situations all too well.

So of their families were relatively well-off, but at best, they were the type to earn a few hundred thousand a year.

It simply wasn’t in their character to spend money at a five-star hotel, let alone pick such an incredibly lavish private room.

"We’re just so happy that our nephew, Chu He, is rejoining our big, warm family.

What’s a little money? It’s all just material possessions. Although, this five-star hotel really is quite expensive."

A middle-aged woman said with a fawning smile, "It doesn’t matter how much we spend, as long as our nephew is happy.

After all, he was wandering out there for so many years and suffered such unfair treatnt from the Great Jing Empire.

Our hearts really ache for him."

Though the middle-aged woman said this, ’she was inwardly wincing at the cost’.

Just the room, along with the dishes and service they ordered,

had cost the several families nearly two hundred thousand, all pooled together.

But when the families had discussed it, they all agreed: ’you have to risk the bait to catch the wolf.’

’As long as Chu He agreed to make arrangents for them, what was a re two hundred thousand in comparison!’

After all, they had deliberately chosen mostly expensive dishes for the feast today.

Several of the relatives even had bloodshot eyes.

They were desperately hoping to get to the point as quickly as possible,

to have Chu He nod in agreent and confirm that he would definitely make the arrangents.

"If you have sothing to say, just say it. My brother is a busy man.

We’re practically strangers normally. Now that we’re all gathered here today, I don’t even recognize half of you."

Chu Jiai said bluntly.

"Chu Jiai, what kind of things are you saying?"

A plump woman wearing a gold necklace said reproachfully. "We know Chu He is a very busy man. After all, isn’t there a line from a foreign movie? ’With great power cos great responsibility.’

Right now, here in the Great Xia Empire, there are many things that depend on Chu He.

So, we’ll just be direct and stop beating around the bush. We’re all family here; there’s no need for formalities.

You see, my son is about to take his college entrance exams. Chu He, do you think you could arrange a spot for him at the National Road Academy?"

Yang Xiaochun glanced at Chu Donglai, her eyes seeming to say, ’Just as I expected.’

The smile on Chu Donglai’s face gradually faded, replaced by deep disappointnt.

Even though he had anticipated this,

Chu Donglai still found it difficult to control his emotions. ’Perhaps he had been too naive all along.’

"I may not know much, but I do know that the National Road Academy is the hope for the Great Xia Empire’s future.

The situation across Blue Star isn’t good right now, and the National Road Academy is under imnse pressure.

You can’t just casually shove soone inside."

Chu Donglai said, shaking his head.

"Second Brother, that’s not a very nice thing to say. We’re all family, after all.

Besides, our kids aren’t idiots. If they get in and are cultivated with good resources, they can also beco pillars of the Great Xia Empire.

The way you say it makes it sound like our kids would only hold everyone back if they went to the National Road Academy."

A middle-aged man lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

If he weren’t mindful of Chu He’s presence, this middle-aged man wouldn’t have been so polite.

’In his eyes, his so-called Second Brother had just gotten ridiculously lucky.’

’He lost his son for so many years, but then, by so strange twist of fate, found him again.’

’And he turned out to be so National Guardian War God, the strongest expert on Blue Star.’

’He has all the money and power one could ask for.’

’Sotis, the middle-aged man even thought it would have been better if he was never found.’

’Otherwise, how could Chu Donglai’s attitude have changed so drastically? He’d actually learned to refuse them,’

’and was even spouting all these high-and-mighty principles.’

’And his words even carried a hint of looking down on their families.’

’He had to rember, it used to be them who always looked down on Chu Donglai’s family.’

"Alright, this al is over."

Utterly disappointed, Chu Donglai stood up resolutely and said, "You want my son to do you favors? Let tell you, it’s absolutely impossible. Don’t even think about it."

"What’s that supposed to an?

You look down on us poor relatives now, is that it?"

The plump woman with the gold necklace snatched the chopsticks in her hand and hurled them in their direction.

The plump woman simply couldn’t accept that their families had pooled nearly two hundred thousand, only for it all to be for nothing.

Just as the chopsticks were about to hit Chu Donglai,

a hand reached out and caught them firmly.
