The turmoil in Chu He's heart was far greater than the three hundred million before. It also gave rise to a subtle throbbing inexplicably.
Angry?
In Chu He's understanding, Queen Mother Xiao would not be angry. She was so rational that Chu He regarded her as a robot. No matter what the situation or situation, she solved the problem with the most rational and stable attitude. She was determined not to
He knows how to act on impulse, not to mention being emotionally disturbed and angry——
But wasn't everything she did before her eyes a sign of anger?
Otherwise, how could you refuse a project that would bring the Xiao family to a higher level?
Queen Mother Xiao stared at him quietly. He also looked back at the robot aunt with some surprise. After a long time, he struggled and asked: "Is it because she divorced me that you refused to cooperate?"
Frankly speaking, Chuhe never thought from the beginning that Queen Mother Xiao would refuse to cooperate for her own reasons. Maybe in his heart, Queen Mother Xiao already had a fixed template. Or maybe she had a more reasonable reason for identifying Queen Mother Xiao.
He would refuse. But he never expected that she would actually refuse this golden opportunity because of Zhuge Hongyu's divorce from him——
Empress Dowager Xiao's expression was as plain as ever, but in the depths of her deep eyes, there was a flash of pity that even Chu He, who had sharp eyes, had not noticed. She said calmly: "You are Mr. Xiao's only grandson."
A few simple words explained everything she did.
"I don't blame her. Even if she didn't tell me the reasons for the divorce in person." Chu He smiled bitterly.
Zhuge Hongyu's eight years of youth were wasted. It only ended in divorce, which was not the most ugly ending for Chu He.
When Queen Mother Xiao heard this, a sharp look flashed across her eyes. This time, Chu He saw it clearly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
People say that she is full of poetry and calligraphy, but when it comes to her robot aunt, she possesses a murderous aura despite being in a high position. Just a look in her eyes is more thrilling than the teeth and claws of all living beings. It is frightening.
After a moment of concentration, Chu He said with relief: "That matter has passed. I have long stopped thinking about it. People say fate depends on destiny, and separation depends on oneself. She gave me time, but I
I didn’t keep it. I can’t blame anyone.”
Empress Dowager Xiao stared at him for a long time, then finally picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Her fierce and windless aura gradually faded away, and she said calmly: "Make time to go to Yanjing next Monday."
"Going to Yanjing?" Chu He asked unexpectedly. "What are you going to do? I have to go to work here."
"Disband the cooperative relationship." Empress Dowager Xiao said calmly. "There is also a Chamber of Commerce dinner."
Empress Dowager Xiao briefly and clearly explained her motivation for going to Yanjing.
Terminating the cooperative relationship. This may not require her to go there in person. But she still decided to go in person and take Chu He with her.
As for the Chamber of Commerce dinner - Chu He has been with this robot aunt for more than ten years and has never seen her participate in the so-called Chamber of Commerce dinner. Even if he did not know about it a few times, I am afraid it was just a routine and would not stay too long.
.As for letting her leave Baicheng to attend a dinner party, this is definitely an unprecedented first time for the robot aunt.
Based on the analysis of Chu He's undeveloped business acumen, the robot aunt's visit should have factors to refute the rumors. After all, she is an extremely good businessman, and she made a very deviant decision for Chu He when he was forced to divorce.
There will be a way to restore the reputation of the Xiao family. And the way to save it is to have a lively dinner party that she has never liked.
Chu He said helplessly: "Really want to go?"
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at him, her deep and indifferent eyes were emotionless. However, she did not say the same irresistibly forceful words as she did to Chu He when she was a child: "Whatever."
casual?
Chu He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he came home late and had no food to eat. No matter how late he went to bed, he had to get up on time. There was no negotiation, and it was impossible to accommodate. She said that he had to do it, and if he didn't do it, he would bear the consequences.
But today's Queen Mother Xiao puzzled Chu He and was extremely surprised at the same time. First she made a surprising decision to avenge him, and then she gave Chu He a loose space for his hesitation. Although her attitude was indifferent, she still made Chu He
I feel that the robot aunt in front of me seems different from the one in my childhood memories.
"I'll arrange the time." Chu He smiled helplessly. "There have been a lot of things at school recently."
Queen Mother Xiao nodded lightly and remained silent.
She didn't speak, and Chu He didn't know what to say. He hadn't dared to talk to Queen Mother Xiao since he was a child. Occasionally, she would block her back when he spoke a few words. So he gradually developed a habit of looking at each other without words, only tears -
—Chu He has never been a crybaby.
After sitting for a long time, Chu He twisted his body unnaturally. No matter how he sat, he felt unnatural.
"The time has come." Queen Mother Xiao stood up.
"What time?" Chu He stood up and asked curiously.
"Work." Queen Mother Xiao walked slowly towards the study.
He has nothing to say to her, but she may not.
But she didn't say.
…
Since we came to Xiaoshan Villa, we had to at least eat dinner before going back. After holding back for several hours, Chu He ran to the yard to satisfy his craving. As soon as he lit a cigarette, he saw Mu Zi practicing shirtless martial arts in an open space in front of him.
Muzi has the highest martial arts value in the Xiao family. When Chuhe was a child, he had always envied Muzi, who could practice boxing openly. But he never told Muzi about the fights at that time. It was not because he was afraid that Muzi would not help, but because he was afraid that his grandfather would find out and be embarrassed.
No face.
Muzi has a strong and tall figure, a few centimeters shorter than Chu He. He is not as slender and slender as Chu He, but his body is densely covered with powerful muscles. He feels safe at a glance. According to Chu He's estimation, Mu Zi's military strength is worth that in Baicheng alone.
I guess he can make it into the top three. He is on par with Chen Beifeng, who is a proficient gun player. Squatting in the corner and smoking a cigarette, I couldn't help but secretly compare Muzi and Qin Tianbao.
In terms of skills, Muzi is definitely better. At least in Chu He's memory, Muzi has never been defeated. In fact, Muzi looks cheerful and has no intentions, but in fact he must be a man of great power. Is Chu He hiding his strength?
I can't tell. Masters at Muzi's level will not reveal their full strength easily unless they are facing a real life-and-death battle. This is a common problem among masters.
After a brief comparison, Chu He felt relieved.
Even if Qin Tianbao takes action himself, that robot aunt will never be in danger with Muzi at home. Besides——
Chu He glanced at this simple and elegant Xiaoshan villa. There was a meaningful smile on his lips.
Qin Tianbao wants to break into this historic Xiaoshan villa with purpose. I'm afraid it will be much more difficult than imagined, right?
Chu He forgot when Xiaoshan Villa suddenly became very strict. It seemed like overnight, many new faces appeared in Xiaoshan Villa. At that time, Chu He couldn't tell who was a master and who was a low hand. But now he can
I clearly feel that this Xiaoshan villa is not to mention heavily guarded, but it can also be said to be three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. It can be said to be impregnable.
Of course, this is naturally the result of the young housekeeper Muzi. The private guards he trained are well-known in Baicheng. They are not only loyal, but also first-class in strength.
"call!"
With a finishing punch, Muzi let out a breath of turbid air and felt refreshed.
"Good skills." Chu He smiled and walked up.
Muzi had already noticed that Chu He was peeking, but he didn't point it out and joked: "Compared with the young master, he is a scumbag."
Chu He smiled and said, "What I appreciate most is your honesty and lack of hypocrisy."
Muzi was about to put on clothes, but Chuhe couldn't help but asked: "Muzi, when did you get such a big scar on your back?"
Judging from the recovery state of the scar, the wound must have been left many years ago, and it was very deep at that time, otherwise there would be no obvious traces left today. Before, Chu He could not see clearly even if he was standing far away. But now he saw it
, and asked casually. Unexpectedly, Muzi smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "The past is too painful to look back on. Young Master, please don't ask."
"Then what's there to be ashamed of?" Chu He said with a straight face. "When I was on a mission, I was shot once in the butt. There are still unspeakable bullet marks to this day."
"——" Muzi's expression froze and he asked, "Can you show it to me?"
"Get out of here, uncle." Chu He scolded with a smile.
Muzi, holding a cigarette in his mouth, sat on a stone bench nearby and said, "Actually, I got this scar when I was ten years old."
Muzi is the same age as Chuhe. Left behind when he was ten years old?
Chu He was still in fifth grade at that time.
"What's going on?" Chu He asked curiously.
"A very powerful master came to Xiaoshan Villa that night. Of course, I definitely didn't know how powerful that person was at the time. Looking back now, I may not be his opponent for this person today." Muzi exhaled a puff of smoke meaningfully.
, said slowly. "At that time, the master was respected by everyone. How could he expect that someone would do harm to him. Therefore, the defense system of Xiaoshan Villa was not very strict. But the master was too powerful. He actually broke into the master's bedroom.
.Planning to commit murder——"
Chu He was frightened when he heard this, and asked: "What happened next? Did you kill that master?"
"I think so." Muzi shook his head and smiled. "I was also stubborn at the time, so I rushed in and wanted to stab him with a knife. In the end, he slashed me in the back with the knife. I collapsed on the ground on the spot. Fortunately, the knife didn't hit my head.
Uppercut, haha.”
Chu He frowned slightly and couldn't help asking: "After that-"
"After that." Muzi gave up and blinked. "Master, guess who stopped the master? And killed him?"
Chu He thought for a moment, but then shook his head: "According to what you said, our Xiao family did not have masters of that level back then."
"You may not be an expert." Muzi gave a hint.
"Grandpa?" Chu He asked tentatively.
"I do have that spirit," Muzi said with a smile.
"Who could that be-"
"It's Miss." Muzi said bluntly.
"Aunt?" Chu He raised his eyebrows and asked incomprehensibly, "She was only thirteen years old that year."
"I'm not sure I can kill him yet. In fact, it was Miss who stopped him and killed him." Muzi said with a bitter smile. "I'm ashamed to say that I died of pain immediately after being hit by the knife. But it didn't take long.
I woke up in pain again. When I looked anxiously at the bedside, I found that the master was dead. The lady was also lying in a pool of blood, holding a bloody fruit knife tightly in her hand——"
Chu He's heart tightened and he asked in disbelief: "Why didn't I know about such a big thing?"
Muzi continued a cigarette and shrugged helplessly: "The young master didn't know why he lost his temper that day. It was the first time he stayed up all night. After that, he didn't stay at home for a month in a row, and the family deliberately concealed it, so he told the matter.
It’s covered.”
Suddenly, Chuhe was struck by thunder. He froze on the stone bench, unable to move.
Seeing him like this, Muzi remained silent and smoked his cigarette quietly.
The first time she stayed out all night, wasn't it just because she was angry that she didn't go to the parent-teacher meeting that night...
