Ling Xiaosu blinked his eyes, and looked at Ni Tianchen blankly. Why did he have to let her down next? Why didn't she understand?
Ni Tianchen smiled slightly. He knew that his Xiao Xiao would not understand the meaning behind his words, so he laughed and explained, "Old Master Chu's death was too unexpected, and our Ni Family is friends with the Chu Family. So when the time comes, we will definitely attend the funeral hosted by the Chu Family.
As soon as Ni Tianchen finished speaking, Ling Xiaosu's reaction was half a beat slower. So it was because of this that he said that he would let her down.
But at that time, if she were to attend Chu Family, what kind of status would she have?
Ling Xiaosu looked at Ni Tianchen, pursed his lips, and said with hesitation: "Chu Xiaoran's grandfather has passed away, if I were to attend Grandfather Chu Xiaoran's funeral, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate?"
Ni Tianchen rubbed Ling Xiaosu's head and comforted him: "That won't happen, you're my fiancee and will appear in the future as the wife of my wife. No one will question your identity, and even more will not say that you're unsuitable."
Hearing Ni Tianchen's overbearing words, Ling Xiaosu's face instantly turned red, his head buried in Ni Tianchen's chest, the tip of his ears secretly turning red.
Just as Ni Tianchen had expected, the news of Old Master Chu's sudden death spread throughout A City very quickly, and the first thing Old Master Ni knew was that the Chu Residence was going to take charge of the situation. However, Old Master Ni was not a person of Chu Family, so no matter what, he could only calm the emotions of everyone in the Chu Family, and he naturally could not interfere with the rest.
Chu Xiaoran coldly watched as the Chu Family entered and exited. A number of people came in, and taking advantage of Old Master Ni taking charge of the general situation in the hall, Chu Xiaoran arrived at Chu Qishi's room.
Ever since Chu Qishi harmed the Old Master Chu, he had a completely lost expression. Those who did not know what happened would think that he had become like this because of Old Master Chu's death.
Seeing Chu Qishi's dazed look, Chu Xiaoran sneered, walked forward, and said: "Father, who are you planning to show such an appearance to?"
The moment Chu Xiaoran walked closer, Chu Qishi's body immediately trembled. His eyes that were red and swollen from being tired and crying for several days looked up at the Chu Xiaoran in front of him.
These few days, Chu Xiaoran was just like him. Every day, he pretended to be immersed in his grief. His face was pale and dark circles under his eyes could be seen.
"Alright, there aren't many people here. Can father tell me why he appeared in grandfather's room then?" Chu Xiaoran asked.
Chu Qishi sat up slightly, his legs becoming a little numb from the long and arduous movements.
Chu Qishi let out a painful cry. He raised his eyes that had instantly aged ten years to look at Chu Xiaoran and said, "Didn't you already know that?"
Chu Xiaoran frowned, he was slightly dissatisfied with Chu Qishi's reply, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? How did I know? "
Chu Qishi laughed sarcastically once, before continuing: "Since you're so curious about why I appeared in your grandfather's room, then I'll give you an explanation, because at that time, I saw a contract in the drawer of your grandfather's room."
Chu Xiaoran's heart made a "thump" sound, and he immediately guessed what kind of contract Chu Qishi was talking about.
As expected, Chu Qishi continued: "It's written on that contract, that your grandfather is going to give all of his shares to your most beloved Second Uncle, that illegitimate child who isn't even anything, and he is going to give all of our shares to that illegitimate child."
Chu Xiaoran was shocked in his heart. He narrowed his eyes and asked: "Grandfather really did that?"
"Yeah." Chu Qishi nodded his head, as if he had let out a breath of relief. His entire person looked at the back of the sofa, his old face had a decadent expression, "We don't have a lot of shares in the company anyway, and with your grandfather coming this way, he will draw out all of our shares, and then, we will have nothing left in the end."
When Chu Qishi thought about the document he saw in the old man's room, he clenched his teeth. He hated that the illegitimate child suddenly came back, and he had even asked people to kill him. It looked like he had to use some underhanded means to drive Chu Feiran out.
Chu Qishi had already made a silent plan in his heart.
When Chu Xiaoran heard this, he clenched his teeth and spat out these words, "Isn't it just an illegitimate child? Why did his grandfather let him do this, and even give our shares to an illegitimate child? "Impossible!"
"Regardless of the possibility, your grandfather always thought that way." Chu Qishi said lightly, and said with a heavy tone: "Your grandfather is really, really, extremely fond of you, Second Uncle." He also really loved this illegitimate child.
The Old Master Chu doted on this child that was born from his father's youngest wife, and thought to himself that he had to always give the best to Chu Feiran. In the end, he actually wanted to give the company that he operated the Chu Family to Chu Feiran.
But Old Master Chu hated his eldest son. No matter how much Chu Qishi pretended to be filial in front of him, he would not change his mind. Old Master Chu had already ordered his lawyers to make a will on him so could manage all the businesses in Chu Family.
When Chu Qishi unintentionally found out about the will, he was so angry that he started quarrelling with the Old Master Chu. He did not expect that such a row would cause the Old Master Chu to immediately become agitated, and in that moment of agitation, he suffered a heart attack. However Chu Qishi just stared blankly at him until Chu Xiaoran walked in.
Chu Qishi was extremely terrified when he thought of what happened last night. He raised his hand and pinched his temple as he said, "What else do you want to know? I've told you everything I know. If you want to know anything else, you'd better not ask me. "
Chu Xiaoran crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at Chu Qishi with ridicule and said: "I already know what I want to know, and there's nothing much to ask. I've already helped father hide it from everyone now, so shouldn't father fulfill what you promised me?"
Hearing that, Chu Qishi immediately dropped his hand and looked at Chu Xiaoran, asking: What do you want?
Chu Xiaoran smiled sweetly, "Previously, father promised to listen to everything I say. But now, I want you to fulfill the first promise you've made and help me get rid of Ling Xiaosu!"
Chu Xiaoran gritted his teeth as he said the last sentence, and had the feeling that he wanted to give Ling Xiaosu to Ling Que.
Chu Qishi opened his mouth, and looked at Chu Xiaoran in disbelief, "Get rid of Ling Xiaosu? Are you crazy? "
"I'm not crazy!" Chu Xiaoran immediately retorted, his eyes revealing his jealousy and hatred, "She stole my Elder Brother Tianchen, so I have to get rid of her!"
Chu Qishi looked at Chu Xiaoran, and only after a long while did he speak: "I promise you."
