Chapter 872 - Live Beyond One’s Means (1/2)

“Daddy, you’re back.”

“Mm.” Chu Lui answered nonchalantly and walked in. Habitually, he first went into the room to look at Song Wan—his mother.

Inside, Xia Yixuan was talking to Song Wan while massaging her muscles. As a result of these small cares and concerns, Song Wan was still very healthy even though she had already been asleep for three months and had even become chubbier. However, other than that, she could not wake up.

“Brother Lui, you’re back.” Xia Yixuan stood up and walked to Chu Lui.

She smiled and pulled Chu Lui’s hand to bring him over to see Song Wan. “I think Auntie’s fingers moved today. Is she going to wake up soon?” she said happily. However, in her heart, she was frowning.

Move? Move my ass. She’s sleeping like a dead pig. If this goes on, she’ll be fat to death. She was already frustrated helping her clean up her behind every day.

Chu Lui walked over and held Song Wan’s hand. The temperature of her hand was normal, but it seemed a little colder than an average person’s. However, she looked okay. Perhaps there would be a miracle, and she would wake up; however, it would not be now.

“Thank you.”

He genuinely meant it when he said ‘thank you’ to Xia Yixuan as she had really taken good care of his mother. No matter what happened in the past—at the very least, he would remember this favor.

“It’s what I should do.” Xia Yixuan smiled as innocent as a child and hugged his arm. In the past, she did this frequently. Brother Lui, you had not forgotten about it, right?

Chu Lui did not push her away. At this time, Chu Xiang was standing outside the door; and her small hands were clutching the doll in her arms very tightly. Her childish face slowly turned dark.

She grabbed the door with all her might and ran back into the room to hug the doll and cry.

Granny was asleep and would not wake up, and there was another Auntie beside Daddy. Even though her younger sister was not around, Daddy still did not like her.

Chu Lui did not care about Chu Xiang as he would not care for anyone unimportant to him. However, in this house, he would not let Chu Xiang suffer. Her clothes, food, and lodging would be taken care of by a professional but not himself.

…

He took out a card and swiped it at the elevator to open it. From the eighteenth floor to the twenty-eighth floor, there were ten floors in between; and this distance was around half the size of the old Chu Enterprise building.

He could stand at an even higher place and look even further. Of course, he also kicked out the useless parasites.

“Cousin, this place is really not bad.” Once Du Jingtang came in, he touched this and touched that every once in a while as he had not come more than a few times. On top of a building with nearly thirty levels, the cars outside looked as small as ants.

Of course, he also had an office that was as big as Chu Lui’s. However, he did not like to be too high up so he arranged for his office to be on the fifth floor. He was very satisfied with it, and of course, he would frequently come over to crash Chu Lui’s place.
