C370 Family

"Good, good, good, good, good. Come and sit inside. The food is almost ready."

Hearing Lau Ruman's soft call, Chu Yingxiong hurriedly raised his hand and invited the few of them into the room.

Chu Yunxiang had arrived early in the morning. He landed behind Chu Yingxiong and rubbed his palm with anticipation and uneasiness.

He pretended to tidy up the dining table. His eyes glanced in the direction of Xiao Chen and his wife from time to time.

Seeing the few of them enter, he raised his head and greeted them with a stiff but warm and natural smile.

"Grandpa, I came in a hurry. I don't know what you like, so I only prepared some simple things."

If this continued to be awkward, of course it would not be a solution. Chu Huaiyu said to Chu Yingxiong with a smile as soon as she entered the room.

Finally. She did not forget to poke Xiao Chen's arm and gave him a look.

Only then did Xiao Chen remove the storage ring and take out a jade wall specially made for people.

Of course, he couldn't be stingy.

Therefore, the entire jade coin was as big as a person's head.

It was round on the outside and square on the inside, and it was shaped like an ancient copper coin. On one side was engraved a black tortoise, and on the other side was carved a pair of couplets related to wealth and longevity.

"This is a jade that Huaiyu personally went to pick. I supervised the workmanship. Elder, you must not dislike it."

Xiao Chen handed the jade coin to Chu Yingxiong with both hands and said with a faint smile.

It was a very normal sentence, but after hearing it, Chu Yingxiong's hand that was holding the jade suddenly froze.

Chu Huaiyu immediately glared at Xiao Chen, and there was a faint hint of reproach in her eyes.

Xiao Chen had no idea what he had done wrong, but he didn't tell her anything.

"Okay, okay, okay. Thank you for your kindness." After saying that, Chu Yingxiong finally smiled again.

He placed the jade board on the coffee table and observed it carefully. As he looked at it, he even praised it. However, his explanation seemed to be a little official.

His well-ironed body did not look like he was at home, but rather like a guest.

It was not just Chu Yingxiong. Chu Yunxiang on the other side moved his feet and hesitated for a long time before he walked over with his head lowered.

He mumbled and was about to say something when Chu Huaiyu opened her mouth.

"Dad!"

A single word made Lau Ruman nauseous.

Even though Chu Yunxiang had eaten a few meals in the courtyard, Chu Huaiyu had never called him that again.

How long had it been since the first time?

Feeling gratified and grateful, Lau Ruman could not help but hold her daughter's hand tightly.

"Aye!" Chu Yunxiang was stunned for a long time before he answered seriously. His eyes were slightly red.

"Let me see what kind of delicious food you prepared for us!" Chu Huaiyu raised her face and smiled like a flower.

As she spoke, she gently patted the back of her mother's hand and slowly stood up. She walked two steps to Chu Yunxiang's side.

She very naturally extended her arm and gently wrapped it around Chu Yunxiang's arm.

The intimate action that he had not done for more than ten years made Chu Yunxiang, the father, unable to hold back anymore.

In an instant, the sparkling crystal in his eyes could not help but roll down.

However, in order to avoid being laughed at by his daughter, he hurriedly turned his head away. He raised his hand and touched his face and eyes.

Chu Huaiyu only acted as if she did not see it and held her father's arm as she walked into the kitchen.

Time flew by. Sometimes, a few months could also be like a few decades. It was enough to change a lot of things.

The current Chu Yunxiang had already taken charge of the Chu family, which was the only technology in Chu's. He had obtained everything that he had dreamt of.

However, when he obtained these things, he realized that the things that he had lost were truly precious.

Therefore, when Chu Huaiyu was willing to accept him, and even called him "father," he truly regretted it.

It was also the first time that he felt that he had no more regrets in life.

With the current status and identity of the father and daughter pair, Chu Huaiyu could only take the initiative.

Looking at the intimate back view, Lau Ruman sniffled and also hurriedly turned her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen was not too moved.

To him, Chu Yunxiang was not important at all.

What was important was that Chu Huaiyu could be happy.

Therefore, he only smiled. He was simply happy because of Chu Huaiyu's smile.

Since Chu Huaiyu had such a heart, Xiao Chen did not mind letting go of his body and merging into this so-called family.

He looked at the kitchen and saw that it might take a while. He glanced at the chessboard a few times and took it out.

Then, he pushed a box of chess pieces in front of Chu Yingxiong and said with a smile, "Grandfather, shall we have a round?"

Chu Yingxiong's body trembled when he heard the two words. He stared at Xiao Chen with his eyes wide open.

After looking at it for a long time, his face flushed red, and he nodded vigorously.

"Okay, okay, okay. Next plate, next plate. Hahaha..."

Lau Ruman's face, which was at the side, finally could not help but laugh. Her eyes were dazzled by her own laughter.

She had waited too long for this day!

Now, her wait and her efforts had finally paid off.

It was as if all the unhappiness from the past had vanished completely after Xiao Chen's name.

The awkwardness and cautiousness that shrouded the air, although still existed, was being pulled away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, the entire villa began to have the feeling of a family reunion.

And as time passed, it was still getting thicker and thicker.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Chen and his wife rested in the villa.

It was also during this night that Xiao Chen received the first New Year money in his two lifetimes.2

After all, this was considered returning to his mother's home. Xiao Chen and Chu Huaiyu naturally did not have the face to sleep in the same room.

Until dawn, Xiao Chen could still hear the conversation between the mother and daughter next door.

When did he fall asleep? He had forgotten about it, but when he woke up the next morning, he did not feel tired at all.

Looking at the bright sun above his head, Xiao Chen stretched towards the morning sun, then went downstairs to eat some Tangyuans.

The old man also rarely went out and followed Chu Huaiyu and the others on the road.

It was a harmonious atmosphere, but unknowingly, he could feel the old man's downcast eyes.

So that night, when they returned to back hill of Half Mountain Villa, Chu Huaiyu quietly called Xiao Chen to the side.

"Xiao Chen, I want to..."

"When this year is over, I will let Lawyer Huang go to the prison to take a look."

Xiao Chen saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated, but he had already noticed her little thoughts and said with a smile.

Hearing this, she nodded. At this point, she did not want to continue arguing with Chu Yuntao.

Furthermore, Chu Yingxiong was already old. If possible, she also wanted her grandfather to enjoy the rest of his life in peace.

"Then tomorrow, let's go and see Auntie." After pondering for a while, Chu Huaiyu said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid tomorrow won't do. Let's wait until these few days have passed before we talk."
