Chapter 413 - 413 Gathered

413 Gathered

At the entrance of the Chu residence, with Chu Zhuo’s appearance, the Chu family had finally gathered.

“Third Brother!” When Chu Huan saw the figure appear in front of the Chu family’s empty field, he immediately cheered and rushed out.

Chu Zhuo’s temperament had once again undergone a huge change.

He was still as handsome as before, but his style and clothes were very different from when he had been in the Chu family.

!!

In fact, Chu Zhuo had been wearing a mask for nearly ten hours to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“Mmm.” Chu Zhuo Shi nodded, his expression calm.

With Chu Huan’s welcome, he walked towards the Chu family’s central room.

The first thing he did when he returned was to offer his condolences.

“Dad, where’s Mom?” After the ritual, Chu Zhuo looked at Father Chu and asked softly.

“Your mother is resting on the second floor. She’s too tired.” Father Chu looked at Chu Zhuo, who was taller than him, with a complicated expression.

“Okay, Dad, take care of your health.” Chu Zhuo hesitated for a while before slowly speaking.

Ye Ting did not return.

Chu Zhuo had already made a decision in his heart.

He knew about the grudges between Chu Ning and Ye Ting, but Chu Zhuo didn’t obviously side with either of them. Yet their grandfather had passed away and Ye Ting’s absence was enough to explain some problems.

Chu Yang and Chu Se had returned. Chu Zhuo didn’t believe that the Chu family didn’t inform Ye Ting.

Everyone’s time was precious, except for Chu Huan, who was currently more leisurely.

In order to be able to come back to attend the funeral smoothly, Chu Zhuo had rejected the recording of a show that could help his career take off quickly. He had almost gotten into a fight with his manager because of this.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, it’s been awhile.” When Chu Zhuo saw that Chu Zhang could actually stand up and move freely, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Thus, he greeted his brothers and sister one by one, with the exception of Chu Huan.

Chu Zhuo wasn’t like Chu Huan, who was brainlessly biased towards Ye Ting.

His heart was filled with the entire Chu family. After Chu Ning returned to the Chu family, their life had visibly improved.

Chu Ning was his biological sister, so Chu Zhuo had no reason or motive to be prejudiced against her.

“Xiao Zhuo, how many days of leave did you take this time?” Chu Zhe looked at Chu Zhuo and asked softly.

“Big Brother, I’ll go back with everyone,” Chu Zhuo replied.

“Okay, after grandpa’s funeral, let’s take a family photo together.” Chu Zhe did not know when would be the next time the Chu family would gather like that day. He did not want to waste this good opportunity.

“Sure thing, Big Brother.” Chu Zhuo nodded.

In the afternoon, the bored Chu Huan was looking at the microorganisms in the soil in the empty field in front of the Chu residence. However, he was immediately attracted by the faint sound of conversation not far away.

It was only when he saw who it was that Chu Huan ran back to the central room, his face full of excitement. “Dad, Mom, Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Aunt are back!”

Mr. And Mrs. Chu’s expressions changed when they heard about Chu Huan.

They stood and walked out of the central room to welcome them.

Father Chu looked at his children and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

How could Chu Zhe not see through his father’s intentions?

He wanted them to go with him to welcome them.

However, he didn’t say anything. After all, Father Chu knew that his siblings didn’t like their family.

The Chu family was very poor.

This was what the relatives knew about the Chu family before Chu Ning came.

Even though Chu Ning was back, it didn’t change their prejudice against Chu Ning’s parents.

Chu Ning also saw her relatives.

Not long ago, Chu Ning had paid off the debt that her family owed her Eldest Uncle Chu Yuan.

This had caused Chu Yuan to have a different opinion of the Chu family.

But in the end, he still felt that the Chu family continued to live in poverty, and it might not be long before they would need his help again.

Back then, he had been willing to lend the Chu family money for selfish reasons.

His agreement with Father Chu was that it was fine if the Chu family couldn’t pay back their debt. Chu Yuan had never thought that Chu Ming would be able to pay back the money he owed.

Chu Yuan could even pay for Chu Zhang’s surgical treatment and cure him in one go.

However, the price was that Chu Zhang had to become Chu Yuan’s son.

Even though Chu Yuan was rich, he was a patriarchal person at heart.

He had to have three daughters… Chu Yuan felt that girls could not inherit his business, and he was getting on in years, so he had set his sights on his brother, Chu Ming.

Chu Ming had many sons, and his living conditions weren’t very good. Most importantly, Chu Ming had the same blood as him.

Having Chu Ming’s descendant as his son would be perfect for him.
