Chapter 11

After Jiang Jingzhu left, Chu Wansha no longer felt like shopping. She sent away the sisters who followed her and took a bus home.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw Li Lingxue sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine and drinking afternoon tea.

Li Lingxue heard the noise and was a little surprised when she saw that it was her daughter who came back. “Didn’t you go shopping with your friends? Why didn’t you buy anything? Did you not find anything you liked or did you run out of money?” As she said that, she prepared to transfer money to her through her mobile phone.

Chu Wansha held her mother’s hand as she was about to take the phone. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Mom, did my dad give money to that mother and daughter?”

Hearing this, Li Lingqin snorted coldly, “I don’t know. Your father did give me money several times in the past few years, but they rejected it every time. I don’t know if she has given me any now. But last time, Jiang Jingzhu came to our house to borrow money from your father, saying that her mother was sick and needed money urgently. I was going to wait for your father to come and mention it to him, but then I forgot about it. She hasn’t come again.”

Seeing her daughter frowning and wondering what she was thinking, Li Lingxue asked directly, “Did something happen?”

When she heard her mother ask, she told her mother that she saw Jiang Jingzhu shopping in a luxury store and buying a lot of things. It stands to reason that Jiang Jingzhu and her mother’s living conditions are not good, and Jiang Xue is also sick. As a daughter, she would not have the money to go shopping in a luxury store.

But not only did she go, she also bought a lot of things. The prices of those things were not cheap and were simply beyond her affordability.

So the only explanation is that someone gave her money, and it goes without saying that this person is Chu Zhennan. After all, his father did feel that he owed them, so giving them money as compensation is possible.

Of course, Li Lingqin also thought of what her daughter could think of. She had no objection to giving the money to the mother and daughter, after all, he did owe them. But if Chu Zhennan wanted to give them something else, she would not agree.

You have to know that the Chu family business will belong to her daughter in the future, and no one else can get involved.

Chu Wansha naturally thought so too. If it weren’t for her grandfather’s Li family, there would be no Chu family today, so she was the only heir. Even if Jiang Jingzhu was also her father’s daughter, she couldn’t take away things that didn’t belong to her.

So the mother and daughter unanimously decided to confront each other after Chu Zhennan came back.

Chu Zhennan was so angry with Jiang Jingzhu in the hospital that he was in no mood to work after returning to the company, so he left work early and went home.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Li Lingqin and her daughter sitting on the sofa with expressionless faces.

The atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Chu Zhennan handed the suit jacket and briefcase to the servant and said, “What happened? Who made you and your daughter angry? Shasha, come and tell Dad. Dad will help you vent your anger.”

After saying this, he touched Chu Wansha’s head lovingly.

Chu Zhennan has always truly doted on this daughter who has grown up by his side.

Chu Wansha didn’t say anything to her father’s question, but just replied that it was okay. As a daughter, she could feel wronged about some things, but it was better for her mother to speak up.

“Huh, you ask who made us angry, who do you think it could be other than you?”

Chu Zhennan was slightly stunned by Li Lingqin’s questioning. He asked in confusion, “Me? Have I done anything to upset you recently?”

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Li Lingqin was furious. “How dare you say that? Did you go to see the mother and daughter in private? Do you want to rekindle your relationship with them? Do you?”

“What are you talking about? How could I possibly do something that would let you and your daughter down?”

Although he said this, when Chu Zhennan thought about the fact that he had indeed visited Jiang Xue today, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes. Although it was only for a moment, Li Lingqin, who had been observing his expression, still caught it.

“Well, Chu Zhennan, now that you are rich, have you forgotten who promoted you in the first place? Have you forgotten who helped you get to where you are today? Now that your old lover has shown up with your daughter, are you going to abandon me as your stepping stone?”

Li Lingqin became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She picked up the sofa pillow and threw it at Chu Zhennan.

Chu Zhennan dodged and explained, “Lingqin, I know what you have done for me. As for abandoning you, that is absolutely impossible. Did you listen to someone’s gossip? Don’t listen to nonsense. I am absolutely loyal to you and this family. I just lost some money to Jiang Xue and her daughter. I don’t have any other thoughts.”

Li Lingqin, who was tired from fighting, also stopped and asked, “Really?”

Chu Zhennan hugged the pillow and almost swore, “It’s true, truer than real gold!”

After hearing what Chu Zhennan said, Li Lingqin’s anger subsided. She straightened her messy clothes and sat back down. “Then tell me, will you give the company’s shares to your daughter? I tell you, as long as I’m here, you can forget about it.”

“No, I just want to compensate them financially, I don’t have any other ideas. As for the company, it is the hard work of my father-in-law and I, so it is natural to leave it to our daughter. Where did you hear this?”

Chu Zhennan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down next to Li Lingqin.

Chu Wansha, who had been watching the whole process, stepped forward to smooth things over. “Mom, since Dad said he wouldn’t do it, then he definitely won’t do it. Don’t be angry.”

Seeing that his daughter was speaking for him, Chu Zhennan also coaxed her, “Yes, Lingqin, you see, we have been husband and wife for more than 20 years. Have I ever lied to you about anything?”

She glanced at him and said, “Since my daughter speaks for you, I will believe you this time.”

After saying that, he raised his hand and motioned Chu Wansha to sit next to him.

“Did you give money to Jiang Xue and her daughter?”

Chu Zhennan immediately replied, “No, I gave it to them before but they didn’t ask for it. I went to see Jiang Xue today after learning that she was ill. I felt sorry for them and their difficult life, so I was ready to pay for their surgery, but Jingzhu refused.”

At this point, he remembered Jiang Jingzhu’s threat to him and his face suddenly turned bad. “From now on, the mother and daughter’s affairs have nothing to do with us. I will not go to them again, and you should not go either.”

Li Lingqin and Chu Wansha looked at each other. They hadn’t told him to leave them alone yet, but Chu Zhennan said it first.

And seeing that he looked unwilling to talk about it, something unpleasant must have happened. Since he didn’t want to mention it, they didn’t ask.

It is enough as long as their main purpose is achieved.

However, Chu Wansha was still a little puzzled. Since Jiang Jingzhu refused her father’s money, Jiang Xue’s surgery fees and the things she bought today were a considerable expense. So where did her money come from?

But she was just curious. After all, it had nothing to do with her and she didn’t need to take it seriously.
