"Don’t touch , and don’t talk to , or I’ll throw you out of the car and let you go back on your own," Xu Ke said coldly to Chu Lian, then closed his eyes again, a typical posture of not wanting to engage in conversation.
Chu Lian wanted to say sothing, but rembering Xu Ke’s look and his words, she closed her mouth again, feeling increasingly uneasy inside.
Xu Ke and his group quickly arrived at the new residence of the Chu father and daughter. Although the Chu Family had gone bankrupt, a lean cal is still bigger than a horse. The father and daughter rented a two-bedroom apartnt in a mid-range community. When Xu Ke arrived, Father Chu had just co out of the kitchen, and on the dining table were sowhat charred fried eggs and slightly darkened greens.
"Xiao Lian, you’re back. Sit down quickly, dinner is almost ready," Chu Tianyang called out from the kitchen upon hearing the door open.
Hearing Chu Tianyang’s voice, Chu Lian couldn’t help but show a trace of embarrassnt on her face.
"Sorry, we don’t have extra slippers at ho, why not." Chu Lian tried her best to ignore her discomfort and said to Xu Ke, but Xu Ke didn’t let her finish and directly stepped into the warm and cozy small house with his leather shoes.
"So this is where you live. You’ve really arranged it quite well. I didn’t expect you to be doing so well," Xu Ke said with an indescribable sneer on his lips, the malice in his eyes almost tangible.
Xu Ke turned his back to Chu Lian, making it impossible for her to judge his expression. She could only say sowhat awkwardly, "It’s alright, but I believe that as long as you’re willing to help us, we can soon move out of here."
"Yeah, I also think this place isn’t suitable for you. You should move out as soon as possible," Xu Ke said ambiguously, causing a hopeful light to burst forth in Chu Lian’s eyes, not knowing the truth.
Hearing a stranger’s male voice, Chu Tianyang suddenly tightened, "Who’s there?" Putting down the spatula, Chu Tianyang wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Xu Ke, who was so out of place with the surroundings in the living room, Chu Tianyang’s internal alarms blared, his expression lacking the happiness Chu Lian had anticipated.
"Mr. Xu is dressed like this to go out, so how could he have the ti to visit our humble abode?" Chu Tianyang said with a sardonic smile.
"Dad, why are you like this? I invited Xu Ke here to help us. Be nice to him," Chu Lian ran from Xu Ke’s side to Chu Tianyang, pulling his hand and whispering, and then said to Xu Ke, "Don’t mind him, my dad’s been in a bad mood lately; it’s not targeted at you."
"It’s fine, I don’t mind," Xu Ke said with a similar sardonic smile.
This made Chu Lian finally realize the tension between the two n. Just as she was about to say sothing more, Chu Tianyang pushed her towards her room, "There’s nothing for you here between us n. Go back to your room, lock the door, and don’t co out no matter what sound you hear unless I call you," Chu Tianyang said sternly.
Chu Lian was thrown into a state of panic by his serious deanor, "Dad, what is there you can’t let hear? It’s just you and now, and I’m the one who brought Xu Ke here. Whatever you have to say, I need to be present to hear it. Don’t lock in a room and exclude from everything. I’m not a child anymore; whatever happens, I can face it with you," Chu Lian pleaded, clutching Chu Tianyang’s hand.
"You don’t know anything. What can you face with ? Get back to your room," Chu Tianyang, who always doted on Chu Lian, showed such a fierce expression for the first ti, stunning Chu Lian, who was then locked in her room by him to prevent her from coming out midway.
Now, only Xu Ke and Chu Tianyang were left in the living room, both n’s auras fully unleashed, like two lions battling for territory, eyeing each other with fierce gazes.
"Judging by your performance, you must have found out sothing. Can I ask, did you discover this on your own or did soone else tell you?" Xu Ke asked, his lips lifting on one side with a hint of coolness and satisfaction.
"At first, I only suspected, until later I received a call from Chairman Hu, and then I knew it was you all along. To be honest, I deeply regret not dealing with you back then, leaving you as a threat, allowing you the chance to co back for revenge," Chu Tianyang said, gritting his teeth, eyes filled with hatred and remorse.
"You’re already this regretful at this stage? This is just the beginning, Chu Tianyang. Didn’t you consider the consequences when you sched against my parents and my grandfather? I thought without the Chu Family you’d be in dire straits, but it turns out you’re doing quite well, making feel I haven’t done enough. What right does a murderer have to stand here in front of the victim’s family and claim such a nice place, have a house to live in, clothes to wear, money to spend? I haven’t done enough. If grandfather can see you living so well, he would be angry," Xu Ke said, his eyes scanning the room before landing back on Chu Tianyang’s face coldly.
"What more do you want to do? Aren’t you satisfied with my current state? Don’t push too far. Leave a line when doing things so you can et again soday," Chu Tianyang said harshly, trying to hold up his stance, but as soone with nothing left, his attempt at fierceness ca off as particularly laughable to Xu Ke.
"What you said is laughable. With the relationship between our two families, why would I want to et you again? I ca here today to see how miserable you, this old dog Chu Tianyang, are living. Only if you’re not doing well will I feel at ease, but now I’m very dissatisfied with what I see, so I’ve decided to do sothing to change it to my satisfaction," Xu Ke grinned, revealing teeth as white as snow, like the peak snow on a cold mountain, freezing the blood in Chu Tianyang at the sight.
"What do you want to do? Everything done to your family was by , it has nothing to do with Xiao Lian. Whatever you plan to do, co at . Don’t touch Xiao Lian, you know how she feels about you. Would you really target soone who holds affection for you?" Chu Tianyang said, watching Xu Ke with wary eyes.
