"Perhaps all geniuses have some quirks. Chu Xidao has devoted himself to martial arts since he was a child. He is rarely as tired of your grandma as your father. The love between mother and son is naturally not as deep as your father and your grandma, but your grandma is also very fond of him.
Loved."
Su Xiaoru looked complicated: "He later led others to make great contributions to the Chu family and the Guwu Alliance. Your grandma naturally appreciates him even more and supports all his decisions unconditionally."
Chu Tianqi asked: "Then when did they start not to deal with it?"
"The gap between Chu Xidao and your grandma gradually deepened, probably after he took over the ancient martial arts alliance."
Su Xiaoru said eloquently: "You also know that your grandma and Chu Xidao both contributed greatly to the Chu family's current situation, but they have different ideas.
Your grandma has always advocated suppressing the other families and letting the Chu family dominate. However, after Chu Xidao came to power, he was based on a win-win situation and shared any benefits with the other families. This made your grandma treat him more and more.
They became increasingly dissatisfied, and violent conflicts broke out between mother and son more than once."
Chu Tianqi suddenly realized: "And my father and grandma have the same ideals, so the other four families have always been obedient to my father?"
Su Xiaoru snorted coldly: "If it weren't for this, how could your father still be known as the acting leader of the alliance until now?"
Chu Tianqi's eyes flickered. He never thought that a dispute over ideas was involved.
…
When Chu Tianshu woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.
Qiao Shiyuan went out early in the morning.
He washed briefly, came to the courtyard, and stretched out in the long-lost sunshine.
Li Yuemei came in from the outer courtyard: "Tian Shu, the kitchen has heated breakfast for you, go and have some."
Chu Tianshu nodded: "Thank you, Mom."
Li Yuemei pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about? As a family, isn't this what we should do?"
Chu Tianshu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene in Yaozhou where he had no hot food to eat even after returning from work.
He followed Li Yuemei to the restaurant. Li Yuemei served him hot porridge, hot steamed buns and cold vegetables, and quickly fried a chive and egg.
Chu Tianshu had just taken two bites when his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhong Chuxi.
Chu Tianshu connected the phone, and Zhong Chuxi's voice came from the phone: "Han Muen and Yuan Haiwei have been found."
Chu Tianshu scooped a spoonful of millet porridge into his mouth and asked, "How is it?"
Zhong Chuxi's tone was a little sad: "Yuan Haiwei is dead, and Han Muen suffered brain damage due to severe hypoxia. The brain expert at Harmony Hospital said that he will probably never wake up."
Chu Tianshu said with relief: "This result has nothing to do with you. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself."
Zhong Chuxi gave a soft "hmm" and then said: "I am calling you to remind you that people from the Han family and the Yuan family will come to Beidu to congratulate the old lady of the Chu family on her birthday. I am afraid that they will target you. If you have anything to do with me, I will tell you in time."
If I can't handle the contact, I can ask my father to come forward."
Chu Tianshu smiled: "I have offended the five major families in Beidu and I am not afraid of them. How can I still be afraid of them?"
Zhong Chuxi said: "In any case, it's better to be careful."
She was not very interested, and they briefly chatted for a few words before ending the call.
Just as Chu Tianshu put down his phone, Wen Ruyu sent another WeChat message: Brother Chu, are you free at noon?
Can you accompany me to a dinner party?
Chu Tianshu replied: No problem.
Soon, Wen Ruyu sent the address.
Chu Tianshu simply drank a bowl of porridge, took a shower, changed clothes, and went to his appointment.
The address Wen Ruyu sent to Chu Tianshu was a place called Yuwangfu.
When Chu Tianshu drove there, Wen Ruyu was already waiting outside the door.
Seeing Chu Tianshu get out of the car, Wen Ruyu greeted him with a smile.
Before Wen Ruyu could come forward, a young man wearing a mandarin jacket and a cap, dressed like a young man in ancient times, came to Chu Tianshu, bowed, and greeted with a smile: "Master, you are blessed."
Chu Tianshu smiled: "You are also lucky."
I have to admit that rich people still play.
He threw the car keys to the boy and asked him to park, and then walked towards Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu was wearing a beige half-length windbreaker today. Her slender waist was tied up with a belt, and her walking posture was like a willow swinging in the wind, full of youthful rhythm.
She stood in front of Chu Tianshu, a pair of jade hands clasped together behind her back, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chu, I'm sorry to trouble you again, but I can't think of any other suitable person at the moment."
Chu Tianshu reached out and brushed off a dry petal from her hair, and said with a smile: "I hope to have trouble like this from time to time."
A beautiful smile bloomed at the corner of Wen Ruyu's mouth. She tipped her toes, and a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Actually... it's more troublesome than you think..."
Chu Tianshu took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "How do you say it?"
Wen Ruyu's pretty face blushed: "Actually... I asked you to be a shield..."
"oh?"
The corners of Chu Tianshu's lips curled up, "In other words, today is actually your blind date dinner?"
"Um."
Wen Ruyu responded softly, lowering her eyes and staring at her toes, not daring to meet Chu Tianshu's gaze again.
Chu Tianshu laughed loudly: "Let's go and be a shield. I'm very professional."
Wen Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother Chu, aren't you angry?"
Chu Tianshu blinked and asked, "Why should I be angry?"
He touched Wen Ruyu's head: "It's just a little effort."
Although Wen Ruyu is no longer the young girl she was when she first met him abroad, in Chu Tianshu's heart, Wen Ruyu is still the little girl he saved from a hail of bullets.
"You said that, and I felt relieved. I was worried that you would be angry."
Wen Ruyu smiled and stepped forward to hold Chu Tianshu's arm.
"You look inexperienced at first glance."
Chu Tianshu took out the arm held by Wen Ruyu, and then took her hand: "This is more suitable."
The two of them walked into the grand gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, which was decorated with carved beams and painted pillars and was extremely luxurious.
The rockery, bamboo and stone in the yard are grand and elegant.
The service staff going back and forth, the men are all dressed as servants in blue robes and hats, and the women are all in palace clothes.
As soon as they meet the guests, the service staff bow down and salute, saying greetings such as "good luck to you" or "wish you good luck", which makes people feel like they have returned to ancient times. There is really a feeling of heaven and earth.
A kind of royal enjoyment.
Wen Ruyu introduced: "This is my stepfather's property, and the business is pretty good. Those big shots are used to seeing things, so they like to do something new."
She led Chu Tianshu through the corridors and spent several minutes before arriving at a quiet courtyard shaded by flowers and trees.
In the main room, Wen Ruyu's mother Chen Moli was drinking tea with a well-dressed middle-aged man.
Seeing Chu Tianshu coming in holding Wen Ruyu's hand, Chen Moli was slightly startled at first, then her face darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "Ruyu, why did you bring him here?
