Chapter 527 Who should be blamed this time?
Hearing Chu Xin's suggestive words, Zhao Bin's face turned a deep purplish-red. He had indeed kept many things from his mother for the sake of his pride.
For example, he was beaten into the hospital by Chu Xin.
For example, Chu Xin already has a boyfriend, and his family has a very powerful background.
Zhao Bin was somewhat resentful. Why was it that Chu Xin, who was so down on her luck, could get better and better, while he was getting worse and worse off?
"Mom, let's go. She's not the Chu Xin she used to be... She doesn't need anyone's care anymore."
Chu Xin scoffed. He was still trying to cover it up. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that Li Xiu was definitely up to no good.
If they didn't know I have a decent family background, would they be so eager to come looking for me?
Zhao Bin was already reluctant to come, and he kept saying he wanted to leave before even seeing Chu Xin. Now that he had witnessed her imposing aura, he didn't want to stay a moment longer.
Li Xiu finally realized that her son hadn't told her many truths.
She simply couldn't believe it.
This is outrageous!
She went to such lengths to come here because she wanted Zhao Bin to stay in the army with peace of mind, and she tried her best to find any way to help him in the future.
However, this love for her son was not reciprocated with honesty. Zhao Bin's inexplicable concealment was tantamount to a betrayal to Li Xiu.
"I think you've really lost your mind. What can't you tell me? How many things have you been hiding from me?!"
He's already forgotten his mother before he's even married?
Zhao Bin lowered his head and remained silent, thinking to himself that if he had just gotten him out of the army earlier, none of this would have happened. Why was he still fixated on Chu Xin? They were already impossible for each other.
Chu Xin was utterly disgusted by Zhao Bin's mama's boy behavior. She approached them, her hands clasped together making a "crackling" sound that was quite frightening.
"Those who know what's good for them will get lost! I have nothing to say to you. If you can't remember, I don't mind giving you a painful memory!"
Li Xiu was overwhelmed by her imposing manner. Today was the most humiliating moment of her life so far. Enraged and ashamed, she didn't dare to do anything to Chu Xin, so she slapped Zhao Bin across the face, "What's wrong with you?!"
Zhao Bin covered his face and knelt in front of her, wishing he could bury his head in her chest.
"It's my fault, Mom. If you want to hit me, can we do it when we get back?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his clenched fists held resentment towards Chu Xin, as well as helplessness towards his mother's stubbornness.
Why does everyone want to trample on his self-respect as a man?
Does he really think he feels nothing about being hit by the person he can't forget? Does he not care at all that the person he admires not only doesn't like him but also found a man with a better background and wealth?
Why does he have to be so repressed when everyone can be themselves?!
Zhao Bin, like a trapped beast, stunned Li Xiu. His gaze just now was unfamiliar to her, and just one look made Li Xiu feel uncomfortable all over, especially the hand that hit Zhao Bin, which felt like it was on fire.
"Son...son?!"
“好啦,再恶心我真把你们一块揍了,跑到别人家门前表演母子情深没有十年脑血栓都干不出这事,快滚!”
Seeing that the mother and son were about to change their act again, Chu Xin interrupted them coldly.
As she spoke, she glanced around. Although the houses in this area were not densely packed, there were still quite a few people living there. It was the time when people were going home after get off work, and even though the Chu family lived the furthest inside, some people were willing to walk a few more steps to watch the excitement.
Chu Xin's actions reminded Li Xiu, who also glanced at the same spot. Her already flushed face turned even redder, and she stomped her foot in annoyance, covered her face, and ran away, disappearing from sight.
"What, you don't want to leave?"
Chu Xin then asked Zhao Bin.
As Zhao Bin watched his mother's figure disappear behind the onlookers, he clenched his fists even tighter. It was the first time he realized that the person his mother, who always said she was doing it for his own good, actually loved herself the most.
Chu Xin looked at his clenched fist, his knuckles white, again and again.
Hmm... Is this a sign that the mother and child are becoming estranged?
That was definitely quite a shock.
Chu Xin, unusually merciful, didn't actually force them to leave. She shook her head at Chu Yunting, telling them to ignore it, then walked back a few steps, got into her car, and drove a little further in, making way for Chu Yunting and Old Master Chu, who hadn't yet gone home from get off work.
Zhao Bin is now in such a state that she doesn't need to intervene anymore. To put it bluntly, the feeling of a mama's boy suddenly realizing that his obedient mother is not so respectable and lovable is enough to drive him to despair.
After parking the car, Chen Ping was already standing in front of him.
She was so busy watching the excitement that she didn't notice anything, but now she's getting nervous again—the ugly daughter-in-law is finally going to meet her mother-in-law.
Chu Xin found it amusing that she was walking with her arms and legs moving in unison, so she walked over and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Chu Yunting's mother is very easy to get along with. Even if she really thinks you two are not suitable, she won't be the bad guy. She will tell you directly."
Chen Ping frantically fastened the buttons at the bottom of her clothes twice. Was this comfort genuine?
Chu Xin then turned to look at Chu Yunting, "However, as long as you treat Chu Yunting sincerely, there shouldn't be a big problem. If there is anything, it's because he's not good enough."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunting nodded repeatedly, "That makes perfect sense."
Those who initially watched the spectacle were surprised to find that after the farce ended, they witnessed the Chu family's son bringing his girlfriend to their door. Their gossipy eyes widened even more, and no matter how delicious the food at home was, it couldn't compare to this.
However, no one teased Chen Ping. They were curious, but their intentions were good. What if they embarrassed the young girl and she ran away?
It wasn't until Chu Yunting knocked on the door and Li Xiu came out to welcome him in that everyone left happily.
As for Zhao Bin, he disappeared without a trace at some point.
……
Port city.
"They're not back yet?"
Ge Shaoting frowned and asked the person next to him.
He was sitting in the same large wooden chair that Ge Shengtian used to sit in, only now the conspicuous tiger skin had been removed.
The spot where the butler, Uncle Cat, used to stand has been taken over by someone else, none other than Ah Xing, who had gone through thick and thin with Ge Shaoting.
"There's no big shot yet, will Assistant Zhang...?"
Will I be kidnapped and killed like the others?
Ge Shaoting shook his head slightly. If that were the case, someone would have delivered the message long ago. He was well aware of his assistant's abilities.
Even if they can't get reinforcements to the port city in time, they will try their best to send messages back.
Ge Shaoting believed he had arrived in Kyoto, which was why he was slightly uneasy. The person he was looking for was Chu Xin, but the Chu family and the Gu family were in the same circle. He was worried that, by chance, his assistant Zhang might run into the Gu family again and get involved.
Frustrated, he lit another cigarette. If only Hong Kong and the mainland could make direct phone calls, he wouldn't be so irritated by not knowing anything.
The latest negotiations with the Americans at Wo Shing Wo failed, and he didn't know the situation of Chu Xin and the others in mainland China, or whether they had been assassinated.
Thinking about Ah Qiang's strength, he wondered if he could stage another murder and frame-up scheme.
What are their chances of success without Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen's involvement?
In the end, who should be blamed?
