"How dare you put that Chu woman in the VIP room prepared for Shen Qui and his wife? Do you understand what you are doing?"
"Husband!" Matriarch Chu fumed. "You dare… you dare talk to me this way? Isn't that only a room? Plus, she fainted because of exhaustion! It doesn't have anything to do with me! I didn't even meet her! Why are you projecting your anger towards me?"
"Projecting?" Patriarch Chu really wanted to yell at this woman. "Lu Yanyan you are making me speechless! That Chu Woman is no longer a member of our Chu Family! Why would you make such arrangements for this woman?"
"Husband? Can you hear yourself? You know how much care I put into Chu Yuyan since she was a child! How could you even ask such questions? Chu Yuyan might not be a direct descendant but she is still a Chu! How could we treat her like this?"
"Lu Yanyan you have lost your mind! Get out! Go to your room and don't talk to anyone until you realize why you make the wrong choice by letting that Chu Yuyan inside this mansion!"
"You— "
"I will ask Munan to let that Chu Yuyan leave now. She doesn't belong to our family anymore! She needed to leave this mansion!"
"Husband! I dare you to say that again!" Chu Matriarch clenched her hands into two tight fists. "I dare you say that again, and I will immediately ask my lawyers for a divorce! How could I endure this kind of treatment?"
For a few seconds, the patriarch squinted, his face red from anger. "Do you understand what you are saying?"
"Of course, I do!"
"Then let me asked you this. What can that Chu Yuyan bring us?"
"She — She is a talented young woman! Worthy of praises and— "
"In short, aside from singing and drawing, she cannot bring us anything."
"You— "
"Lu Yanyan… I am very disappointed. The reason why I allowed you to treat that child better than the other members of the Chu Side branch is that she looked a little like our late daughter! I indulged your obsession and even allowed you to name her after our little daughter! But this has to stop now!" Old Chu Patriarch stood in front of the old madam. "I already dispatched my people and learned everything about Miss Xi. Did you really think, I would do something stupid? Miss Xi created the bullets that we are using right now. She is someone who invents things. She is here because of some special weapons that she created. Do you understand this?"
"Isn't this just weapons? Can we buy this from some other people? Our Chu Family is rich! We can do whatever we want!"
"Stupid!" The old patriarch hissed. "We can buy products, but we can never buy talents and skills! I am looking to build relationships! Do you think mere weapons entice me for this cooperation? I wanted to build relations with these people and use them for our current projects!"
"You mean…"
"I really don't understand myself! How did I like someone like you! Lu Yanyan, if you want to draft that divorce papers then do it now!"
"Husband!" The matriarch's eyes widened. She had threatened her husband like this before. And every time, he would give in and apologize to her. How could he agree to the divorce now? "How could you?"
"I spoiled you! I know my mistakes! Now we have offended the person that might have the ability to cure our grandson! You — You are so stupid! Ah! I will die from anger before I even die from old age!"
"Cure Munan? She can cure Munan?"
"Stupid woman!" If Lyca could create a chemical that could melt bodies, then she should have the ability to melt cancer cells or at least try to create something like that! How could his wife be so stupid to offend a person like that?
Before the Old Madam could react, a knock on the door echoed. "Grandfather?"Chu Nan's said before he walked inside the room. "They left. I am unable to stop them."
"Why? How about the doctor? Did you tell them that— "
"Miss Xi was too pale. She needed immediate medical attention. Mr. Q said they haven't had any food since they arrived and both of them were not so used to the cold so they didn't leave their rooms expecting someone to deliver them some snacks." Chu Nan said. "Sadly, no one did."
"So they stayed in the room for hours without food?"
"Yes, sir. Also…" Chu Nan looked at his grandmother. "The heater was broken. Both were shivering when we found them. It was too cold inside the room. I believe… Miss Xi didn't just faint from exhaustion and hunger. She fainted because of the cold."
His statement made the older madam gasp. "Broken? How could that happen? Anthony checked it! The heater was working fine! I am sure that they deliberately did it too— "
"Lu Yanyan! Shut your mouth! If Chu Nan says it's broken, then it's broken!" The Old Patriarch raised his voice. "Let's go! Accompany me to the hospital! We are going to talk to them. I want you to apologize and you are not leaving the hospital until they accept your apology!" The Old man was about to burst into anger. He was just gone for a few hours because of an emergency meeting. How could this have happened? "Chu Nan… go and have that Chu Yuyan leave! This was all that woman's fault! I am certain she manipulated your grandmother again! Have her leave! Tell her she is no longer welcome in our Chu Family! If she refused to leave, then tell her that I won't be merciful anymore! I will pull my shares in their business if she continues to act like this!"
"Understood," Chu Nan nodded as he left the room.
