Everyone: ââ¦â
What the hell!
He invited everyone over only to stand them up, and he expects them to pay the bill?
And he says heâll never reimburse them?
What kind of divine move is this?

Meanwhile, at the Chu family, Chu Xiuhuangâs grandfather also received the notification from his grandson.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately got up, waved his hand and ordered, âGet the car ready!â
âDad, where are you going?â The wife of the Chu family just descended from the second floor, and she couldnât help asking.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the old master Chu did not answer her. He picked up a walnut and left without saying a word.
The Madame Chuâs brows furrowed.
She was already shaken by the news of her sonâs impending marriage in the morning, had laid down all afternoon with a splitting headache and now seeing her father-in-lawâs hurried departure, her headache only got worse.

Chu Xiuhuangâs grandfather was on his way to Chu Xiuhuangâs private villa.
By the time he got there, it was already past eight in the evening.
There were black-suited bodyguards at the front door. Seeing him, they immediately nodded and greeted him respectfully, âOld Master.â
Upon entering the living room, Little Luoluo was seated on the sofa. Chu Xiuhuang sat beside her and was entertaining the young girl with a pure white plush fat cat in his lap.
âLuoluo.â
Hearing the voice, Little Luoluo looked up.
Seeing this strange grandfather, she was somewhat scared and quickly moved closer to Chu Xiuhuang.
Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat and called out, âAunt Wu, take Luoluo for a bath and put her to bed.â
âOkay, sir.â
When the young girl was taken upstairs by the maid, Chu Xiuhuangâs grandfather immediately asked, âWhereâs the person?â
Chu Xiuhuang looked at the time, âShe should be here soon.â
Chuâs grandfather surveyed the living room, âIs the soundproofing here good?â
Since they had to interrogate secretly, what if the noise would scare his great-granddaughter?
Chu Xiuhuang grimaced at his grandfather, âGo next door.â
This was supposed to be his bridal chamber, where he would live with Little Huanhuan and Little Luoluo. How could it be stained with the smell of blood?
ââ¦Oh.â

It was about ten minutes later when Chu Xiuhuangâs mobile phone finally rang.
Looking at his phone, he turned to his grandfather, âGrandfather, are you sure you want to go with me?â
He was worried that the scene could scare his old man.
âGo! Of course, I have to go!â
ââ¦Okay.â
The two left the villa, circled around the yard, and arrived next door. The bodyguard guarding the doorway immediately opened the door.
Upon entering the living room and waiting less than a minute, the door was knocked once again.
Following that, Tu Youranâs mother was roughly tossed into the room.
Her careless entrance caused her to stumble, and she fell to the ground.
A pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in front of her eyes, gleaming under the light. It was a bit dazzling.
Looking up, she saw Chu Xiuhuang, regarding her from a high position, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, his eyes cold and contemptuous.
Tu Youranâs mother was immediately terrified. She widened her eyes while crying for help, âHelp, help, someone, helpâ¦â
âStop yelling.â Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her coldly, âThe soundproofing here is very good. Not even screaming your lungs out will bring anyone.â
Tu Youranâs motherâs face turned pale, âMr Chu, what are you planning to do?â
âIâm the kind of person who doesnât like to beat around the bush. I brought you here because the hospitalâs identification results have come out. From a medical perspective, you and Luoluo have no blood relation at all. Do you know what this means?â
Mother Tu was scared and anxious, âMaster Chu, I⦠I really donât know. Youran is currently abroad, itâs useless to catch me.â
âIâve already checked Tu Youranâs exit records. She hasnât left the country. Sheâs still in Nancheng.â
âAhâ¦â Mother Tu was shocked into silence.
âSo, still not ready to tell the truth?â
Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and spoke very slowly and calmly, âWhere does Luoluo really come from? Who is her real mother? What exactly happened six years ago?â
âI really donât know.â Mother Tu started crying, âMaster Chu, why would I lie to you? I genuinely donât know, even if you ask a million times I still wonât know.â
After saying that, she looked at Old Master Chu, âOld Master, you believe me, Iâm an honest old lady. If you really want to know, wait until Youran returns to the country. Once she comes back, wonât everything be clear?â
Old Master Chuâs brow was tightly furrowed. Before he could say anything, Chu Xiuhuangâs voice rang out again.
âOld lady, you may not know, I, Chu Xiuhuang, have never liked to play by the rules. I donât know how to show mercy when dealing with people. Old or young, theyâre no different than men to me.â
Mother Tu turned pale.
She had already experienced this in the afternoon. Her arm was still sore now.
But thinking about her daughter, Mother Tu gritted her teeth, âMaster Chu, I really donât know anything, even if you kill me, I still wonât know!â
â¦
Upon leaving the mansion, Old Master Chu was anxious, âYou brat, you brought her here and didnât get any information. Whatâs the use?â
âGrandfather, why the rush?â Chu Xiuhuang smirked, looking unfazed. âIâve brought her here, sheâll definitely tell the truth.â
âHow so? She was just about to choose death rather than talk!â
Old Master Chu, with a walnut in hand, pondered for a moment then advised, âItâs best not to kill anyone. Even if we canât find the childâs biological mother, itâs okay as long as the child is coming back to us. You have a child now, and soon youâll have a wife. Stop being so naughty and accumulate some good karma for your wife and child.â
Chu Xiuhuang couldnât help but sneer, âGrandfather, do you know why the old lady wants to die? Do you know why?â
âWhy?â Old Master Chu eagerly asked.
Chu Xiuhuang said, âSheâs trying to protect her daughter.â
Old Master Chu frowned, âSo what?â
âSo, if Iâve got her tied up, she canât contact Tu Youran anymore.â
Old Master Chu thought about it for a moment and lit up with understanding.
He couldnât help but slap Chu Xiuhuang on the arm, âYou little scoundrel! Who did you learn this from? Youâre so cunning!â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â

In fact, Chu Xiuhuangâs method was indeed very effective.
Mother Tu was locked in the villa, without any contact with her phone. So, she had no chance to contact Tu Youran secretly.
She was kept in the villa for two days, fed well with no force applied.
Chu Xiuhuang did not seem to be in any hurry at all, visiting the hospital every day to care for Shi Huan.
Little Luoluo, however, was living in his villa. Although she couldnât call him âDadâ or âGrandpaâ yet, she was happy and content as she could see Shi Huan every day. She had already forgotten about her previous parents.
On the morning of the third day, the bodyguard suddenly presented Mother Tu with a bloody piece of a womanâs finger, saying that they had found Tu Youran. Because she also refused to tell the truth about what happened those many years ago, so they chopped off one of her fingers.
If she still refused to speak, theyâd continue with the chopping.
With this threat, the old lady was terrified, completely breaking down. In a crying plea, she said, âIâll talk, Iâll tell you everything, please let Youran go, Iâm begging youâ¦â
Chu Xiuhuang immediately came to the villa next door.
âSay it, what exactly was the situation back then?â
Mother Tu had been locked up for two days. Apart from fear, she hadnât really suffered much. In fact, because the food was too good her face appeared a bit rounder due to a lack of exercise.
At this point, seeing Chu Xiuhuang, she shivered but still took a long while to speak.
âYouâre still not talking?â Chu Xiuhuangâs eyes turned cold and he began to turn around, âThen Iâll just have to continue questioning Tu Youran.â
âIâll talk, Iâll talk!â Mother Tu rushed forward and grabbed his arm, âMaster Chu, I beg you not to torture Youran anymore! Sheâs still young. If her hand is crippled, how will she live her life? Iâll talk, Iâll talk right now, Iâll tell you everything!â
Chu Xiuhuang turned around, ready to lend an ear.
â¦
After about a minute, Mother Tu finally revealed the truth about the dead baby switch-up those many years ago.
At last, she looked at the handsome yet ruthless man in front of her and tried pleading for her daughter, âMaster Chu, actually Youran just wanted the best for Shi Huan. She was only eighteen at the time, just graduated from high school, and was heavily pregnant. If she had become a single mother at that age, how could she go on living? The Shi Family wouldnât have accepted her, and even if she gave birth to the child, there was no way they would be treated well. So when Youranâs child died in the womb, she brought back the child that Shi Huan gave birth to and raised her. Over the years, Youran has taken care of Luoluo as if she were her own child. If you donât believe me, you can ask anyone in the Shi Family, Youran has never mistreated Luoluo. Master Chu, Iâve told you the truth, can you let Youran go now? Master Chu, Master Chu, Master Chuâ¦â
Without saying anything, Chu Xiuhuang just turned around and left.
