Chapter 437 The ugly chapter begins
As expected, Old Madam Chu came to plead for Chu Xu.
Old Mrs. Xiao was a very smart person, and of course she could understand this simple hint.
She twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As long as you live and stay healthy, your wish will eventually come true."
It seemed like she had said everything, yet it also seemed like she had said nothing.
Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold.
She had no grudge against Madam Chu, and they had even been very good sisters before, but she mentioned Chu Xu in front of the Xiao family, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The Xiao family has several taboos that cannot be mentioned, and Chu Xu is one of them.
Chu Xu has done many things that are detrimental to the Xiao family. If it were anyone else, they could just retaliate, but this person's situation is special.
It is precisely because of this particularity that people cannot let it go easily.
Seeing her eyes turn cold, Madam Chu felt a pang of pain in her heart, her face full of bitterness: "Sister, Ah Xu did a lot of wrong things in the past few years. We admit all of them, but we are not qualified to plead for him, let alone ask for your forgiveness."
"He's been drifting abroad for almost five years, with no one to rely on. He left in such a hurry that he didn't bring much money with him. I don't even dare to imagine how he's been getting by these past five years. Put yourself in his shoes, sister. If it were Ah Yun..."
"Old sister!" Old Madam Xiao suddenly interrupted her, her voice raised a degree, the smile on her lips disappeared, and her expression was stern and majestic.
"Ah'an wouldn't do those things, nor would he betray his friends, much less harm their families. He wouldn't be worse than an animal and dig up your old man's grave, scatter his ashes, and disturb his peace even after his death!"
Each word was more emotional than the last. Old Madam Chu was stunned. Her lips trembled for a long time and she didn't know how to refute.
Xiao Yun blinked and said slowly, "Hasn't the old lady been supporting Chu Xu all these years? How could she not know how he is doing?"
Old Madam Chu was startled and looked at Xiao Yun.
Those deep eyes were full of insight. Her face was pale. She had done it so secretly, yet he knew it all.
Since he already knows it, there is no need for me to beat around the bush.
Old Madam Chu took a deep breath and stretched her hand behind her. The Chu family servant immediately took out a document and handed it to her.
"We agreed to let Ah Xu stay abroad for ten years to learn a lesson. Now, less than five years later, I'm asking you to let him come back. I'm breaking my promise. But I have no choice."
Xiao Yun sat on the sofa indifferently, so Madam Chu could only hand the document to Madam Xiao.
"This is my latest medical report. I have advanced lung cancer. The doctor says I won't live more than a month."
"What?!" Old Madam Xiao was startled and quickly took the report.
It was a report issued by an authoritative hospital. Just as she said, the condition was very serious and she would not live for many days.
"How could this be?"
Madam Chu's face was bitter, and she didn't say anything. But the servant behind her replied, "My old lady works day and night, and her body has been worn out. Now she can't even eat..."
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."
Old Madam Chu shouted loudly, then coughed twice, looking at the grandfather and grandson opposite her with an envious and complicated expression.
"I don't have any special abilities. No matter how hard I try these years, I can't help the Chu family move forward. I don't care about the rest of the things. I am worried about Ah Xu now. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't love him. If I am gone, no one will care about him."
She looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Yun, it was wrong for me to secretly give money to Xu, but do you know that his father was afraid that Xu would be implicated, so he hasn't given him a penny in all these years, not even a word. He has completely abandoned him. Even the company is going to be inherited by the illegitimate son. Even if Xu comes back, he will have nothing."
"He's lost everything. Can you please show some mercy and let him come back to accompany me one last time? He's already realized his mistake and won't oppose you anymore. He doesn't have the capital to oppose you anymore. Just treat him as a stranger. You'll never have any contact in this life."
Mrs. Chu burst into tears, clasped her hands together, and begged: "I promise you."
ensure?
Xiao Yun curled up the corners of his lips in a sneer. A promise is of no use. These days, swearing is commonplace, and even God is too busy to handle it.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Mrs. Chu gritted her teeth and was about to kneel down in front of him with her crutches.
As soon as he moved, a big hand held his arm.
Xiao Yun had been standing beside her without her knowing when, holding her firmly with his big hands, his eyes indifferent.
Madam Xiao was furious: "Old sister, what do you mean by this? An elder kneels before a younger one. Are you trying to shorten my Ah Yun's lifespan? What's the difference between this and moral kidnapping? Are you trying to threaten the child?"
"No, no..." Old Madam Chu hurriedly tried to explain, but she didn't know what to say.
Her action was indeed intended to force Xiao Yun to agree.
"Madam Chu, it's okay to ask Chu Xu to come back. Like you said, he has nothing and poses no threat to me. Just treat him as an insignificant stranger."
Before Madam Chu could even laugh, Xiao Yun changed the subject: "But I don't trust him, so I have to be upfront about it."
"If he dares to lay a hand on me or anyone close to me, I will show him no mercy and make sure he never returns. If you can accept this, then I will let him come back."
