Chapter 670 You deserved it, would you have gotten beaten up if you hadn't shown off?
Zhou Yichen escorted Chu Xin back, and as soon as he arrived at the Chu family's gate, he heard Old Master Chu's booming voice coming from the courtyard.
The sound was so loud that it startled all the residents along the street, including those with dogs in the distance, who all started barking.
There's also a subtle trend that it's spreading further and further.
Chu Xin raised an eyebrow; it seemed that Chu Yunting had returned first.
Zhou Yichen glanced at the Chu family's gate and said, "Shall I escort you in? Grandpa Chu seems very angry."
With an outsider like him around, the old man probably won't lose his temper so badly.
Chu Xin turned around with amusement. This man really had no memory. Had he forgotten how many cold shoulders and neglect she had received in front of the old man? He still had the nerve to say he was going in to mediate; he was more likely just drawing fire.
However, it's already so late, and if the old man gets too excited, he definitely won't sleep well, so let's skip it.
Shaking her head, Chu Xin declined Zhou Yichen's offer and waved him away, saying, "No need. You'll just get scolded if you go in. What's the difference?"
He then pushed open the slightly ajar door and went inside.
Zhou Yichen was speechless at the sight of the person who left so abruptly. He shook his head and comforted himself, telling himself that Chu Xin didn't want him to get scolded. After reassuring himself, he turned and drove away.
In the living room, Old Master Chu's roaring continued.
"You brat, say that again! What do you mean by severing ties with your father? How come you started fighting the moment you met?"
Then Chu Yunting's weak, innocent, and somewhat feeble voice rang out, "Grandpa, you clearly heard me clearly, so why do you make me say it again? Is it to give you a legitimate reason to hit me?"
"Why are you so agitated? Grandpa Gu has already let it go. He was there the whole time and nothing happened to him!"
Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Gu Beizhan's biological father!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of things being smashed rang out, followed by Chu Yunting's howling and jumping up and down.
"Oh my god, you're actually hitting me?!"
"Mom, Mom, quick, save me!"
"Now you know fear? Why weren't you afraid when you were being so cheeky? I'll grab you and tear your mouth apart!"
Just as Grandpa Chu uttered his powerful shout, the door to their living room creaked open, and his eldest granddaughter, Chu Xin, strolled in.
The air fell silent.
When Chu Yunting saw her return, it was like seeing a savior. He immediately wanted to abandon Li Xiu and seek refuge with her.
Not wanting anyone to react faster than him, the old man moved with extraordinary speed, taking only a few quick steps to reach Chu Xin. "...My dear granddaughter is back. Is Old Man Gu alright?"
Seeing that his steps were quite steady, Chu Xin stepped aside and went straight to her usual seat on the sofa. "Are you concerned about me, or about Old Man Gu?"
Upon hearing her words, Grandpa Chu quickly chuckled dryly, remembering what his granddaughter had said earlier.
"Huh? Oh, of course I'm concerned about you. Didn't you say that Gu Beizhan's matter is up to him to live or die? I remember that. I'm just asking about that old man while I'm concerned about you!"
"That's not what you just said. When you heard that Gu Beizhan was beaten and hospitalized, you were more worried than his own father..."
Chu Yunting muttered to himself, resentful of his grandfather's differential treatment, but before he could finish speaking, he gradually shut up under his mother's reproachful glare.
Old Master Chu glared at him fiercely, then smiled and looked at Chu Xin, "Hey, I was just worried that Old Man Gu would be too worried about his son being hospitalized. Besides, he's so old, he can't bear the worry of having both a son and a grandson."
Chu Xin wasn't really blaming him; besides, he already felt guilty towards the Gu family, and it wasn't something that could be easily dispelled with a few words.
However, she still insisted on her initial principle: "I can't control what you think, but you should see what Grandpa Gu does about the Gu family. Anyway, he let his son get punished today, so he must be very disappointed that his son is not up to par."
But one thing is certain: regardless of whether Ge Shaoting returns to the Gu family in the future, the Gu family will still acknowledge him. However, if Gu Beizhan continues his reckless behavior, that might not be the case.
Old Master Chu had already heard about this from Chu Yunting, who had returned earlier. He naturally knew that Chu Xin had put in a lot of effort to get Ge Shaoting to hit his own father. It was true that he was worried that his granddaughter would cause trouble for the Gu family, but it wasn't really for Gu Beizhan's sake.
He just didn't want his old friend to suffer, so when he heard that Chu Xin had instigated Ge Shaoting to take action, he always felt that the Gu family was being ruined by the Chu family.
A feeling of guilt immediately arose.
He asked hesitantly, "...Are you telling the truth? Isn't Old Man Gu heartbroken?"
Chu Xin sat cross-legged on the sofa and replied lazily, "Absolutely true. If there's anything you want to know, just ask them tomorrow. Why are you thinking about this at home?"
After saying that, he looked at Chu Yunting, who was a head taller than his own mother and was trying hard to hide himself and act like a good boy, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "You deserve it. If you hadn't shown off, would you have gotten this beating?"
