Chapter 30 - Early Childhood

"I have no objections," Zhu Jiangci coldly looked away from Su Yun, "He can enter the company."

"Jiang Ci!" Feng Manli looked at his son in astonishment, obviously not expecting him to agree to this unreasonable request.

When he let go of her, Zhu Shixiong's ashen face relaxed slightly, "Since you have no objections, then I will go to work at the company tomorrow."

"Sure," Zhu Jiangci lazily leaned on the dining chair, his smile was rather casual, "He can go to the company, but I have to be the one to make the arrangements."

Zhu Shixiong originally wanted to get Zhu Tianze to work at the company, but he knew that once this decision was made, it would cause a huge commotion. His second son was the most similar to him, and also angered him the most.

He also understood that allowing Zhu Tianze to enter the company was Zhu Jiangci's biggest concession. As for what he wanted Tian Ze to do in the company, he would let Zhu Jiangci decide.

Zhu Shixiong opened his mouth, "Tianze, why aren't you thanking your second brother?"

Zhu Tianze who was sitting opposite of Su Qiao An had been watching from the sidelines the entire time, coldly watching as Zhu Shixiong and Feng Manli argued. When Zhu Shixiong called out, he moved his body, and with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said, "Thank you second brother for giving me a bite to eat."

Zhu Jiangci looked at him indifferently, "You're welcome. With this bowl in your hands, you better hold on tight. Don't accidentally fall from your hands."

"There's no need for second brother to worry. This time, I will definitely catch him safely." The meaning in Zhu Tianze's eyes was unclear.

It had been seven years, and he had been wandering abroad for exactly seven years. It was as if he did not exist among the people in the Chu Family, and no one ever asked him, let alone came to visit.

The one who had caused all this was his second brother, how could he not thank his second brother for the special care he had received from him all these years?!

Zhu Shixiong interrupted the conversation between the two in time, "Alright, I've met his before, I've already said it, let's eat!"

After making such a ruckus, you still have to sit here to eat. Do you have to be so worried that you can pretend that nothing has happened?

Su Qiao An's mental fortitude was not as good as the rest of the people in Chu Family. Others could treat it as if nothing had happened and eat their meals.

As she was eating, Zhu Shixiong suddenly called out her name.

Su Qiao An froze and looked at Zhu Shixiong, "Dad!"

"Does it lack appetite or is it sick?" Zhu Shixiong asked, this sudden concern nearly made her indigestion.

"I'm a little unwell so I don't really want to eat." She replied dispiritedly.

Zhu Shixiong looked at her carefully, "If you are not feeling well, you should see a doctor. Only by taking care of your body properly will you be able to give us Chu Family a grandson."

"..." Su Qiao An was embarrassed.

To have a grandson … She was already divorced from Zhu Jiangci, what kind of child would she give birth to?

Moreover, other than the chance to have a relationship with Zhu Jiangci on a fixed day, they had basically zero communication for the rest of the time.

"Jiang Ci, did you hear what I told you the last time?" Zhu Shixiong's tone revealed his dissatisfaction towards Zhu Jiangci, "You two are not young anymore, you haven't even had children in three years of marriage, this is unjustifiable. This year, you two must work hard, and try your best to get me and your mother to pick up a grandson as soon as possible."

No matter how thick-skinned he was, it was impossible for him to accept such a private matter!

Su Qiao An remained silent like a sullen gourd. Zhu Jiangci only glanced at her with a smile that was not a smile, and when he saw that her ears were red, he felt much better.

Before they could reply, Feng Manli, who was full of anger, could no longer hold it in anymore. She slapped the table heavily with her chopsticks, "Your grandson? If you want the children of this kind of woman, then who knows how others will laugh at us, the Chu Family! "

"Feng Manli!" Zhu Shixiong was truly angered. In the past, when they had quarreled, it was not to the extent of having even a family name.

"Alright you!" You're shouting at me for two outsiders? " Feng Manli felt wronged, "All these years, I was in control of your family and I brought two children with me. You raised an illegitimate child outside and even wanted to ruin my son! Zhu Shixiong, do you still have a conscience? Three years ago, you insisted on giving this woman to Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci's future was bright, and even though he clearly could have married a woman he found worthy, you still destroyed his plans! "

Zhu Shixiong became angry, "What happened to Qiao An? Qiao An always thought of your son. His looks are good, his education is good, and his ability is good, so compared to you, an old granny who does nothing but shop and play mahjong everyday, he is much better! "

… ….

These three years, Su Qiao An had almost gotten used to endless quarrels.

Zhu Shixiong and Feng Manli's relationship wasn't good, they would start quarreling whenever they couldn't even talk properly.

Zhu Jiangci stood up, "I'll do it, slowly."

Before he left, his black eyes moved slightly. He glanced at Su Qiao An and asked, "You're not leaving?"

Su Qiao An never thought that Yue Yang would help him get out of this predicament. For a moment, he was a little dazed.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Yun anxiously stood up, "Mom and Dad, we will be leaving first."

After she finished speaking, she started striding forward. Feng Manli was so angry that his face and neck flushed, and when he saw Su Qiao An running away, his anger grew even stronger. "Come back here! Who allowed you to leave! "

In these three years, every quarrel between Zhu Shixiong and herself was because of her. Feng Manli loved to settle old scores, and to her, a woman who had no background, no power, no money, and no prospects, like him, had married Zhu Jiangci, and had ruined his son.

In truth, what Feng Manli said was not wrong, she had interacted with the so-called Wealthy Class for a long time, and understood the importance of being the perfect pair.

What Cinderella turned into a princess, what ugly duckling turned into a swan were all fairy tales. If they were wrong, they would only become a joke.

Even if two people had an emotional base, the different values and ways of doing things would create a gap between the two. As time went by, it would continue to expand and expand.

Su Qiao An felt a chill in his heart just thinking about it. No one had seen her hard work, and no one would appreciate it.

From beginning to end, she was the only one moved by her self-righteous love. No one would applaud or cheer her on.

Su Yun lowered his eyes as he looked at the path beneath his feet, and did not notice that the person in front of him had already stopped. His footsteps did not stop until he crashed into the man's embrace.

"Su Qiao An, why are you so anxious to throw yourself into my arms?"

The ridiculing words came from above his head. Su Qiao An was startled, then recovered his senses and consciously retreated out of his embrace, "I don't have the time to argue with you, if you don't feel well, go drink and vent your anger, don't always come looking for trouble with me."
