C79 (2/2)

Originally, Xu Yaoxing still held onto a trace of hope. However, after hearing what his mother said, Xu Yaoxi's face turned pale.

As she walked up to Xu Chencan, her mother pretended to look at Xu Yaoxi and looked at her in surprise.

”Why is Miss Xu here?” ”Why didn't you say anything before coming here? I'll get someone to prepare your meal.” Mother Chu said with a tinge of guilt.

Hearing this, most people would leave, but Xu Yaoxi pretended to understand, still smiling at her.

”Auntie, I was rude. I wanted to come over and talk to you because you were home alone this weekend.” Xu Yaoxing walked in front of her mother and took her hand as if they were intimate.

Xu Chencan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xu Yaoxi. This woman really knew how to act.

However, Chu Mu's mother didn't have much of an expression on her face. She continued to smile, but no matter how she looked at her smile, there was a hint of estrangement in it.

Chu Mu's mother looked at the obedient Xu Chencan and waved her over, gesturing for her to come to him.

Xu Chencan glanced over at Chu Lingyu, and only walked over when she saw him nod in her direction.

”Miss Xu, I'll have to trouble you to let your parents know when you return. I'm very satisfied with this wife of yours. If there's time, we can have a casual meal together.” Chu Mu's mother looked at Xu Chencan with a wide smile, not concealing the admiration she felt for her.

With such a large gap, Xu Yaoxi understood what his mother meant.

She knew that if she continued to keep them here, her mother would be very angry, so she had no choice but to get up and take her leave.

”Miss Xu, wait a moment.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Chu Mu's mother called out to the servant to return the things she had brought back.

Xu Yaoxing looked at the servant who was walking towards her in panic. She looked at Aunt Chu and explained anxiously, ”Auntie, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please do not mind it.”

”Miss Xu.” Although Mrs Chu was smiling, her eyes were cold. ”I'm old. These things are still suitable for you youngsters.”

Her words were full of rejection. No matter how unwilling Xu Yaoxi was, he couldn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and accept the items.

When he finally left, Chu Mu's mother snorted disdainfully and told someone to bring the food over.

She pulled Xu Chencan towards the dining hall, saying as she walked, ”I'm not some old fool. I know a bit about the Xu Family's dirty deeds. You don't need to worry about it. Just focus on making your Chu Family's young mistress.”

Listening to his mother trying to console him, but listening carefully, Xu Chencan understood that his mother did not wish to hurt the relationship between the two families because of him.

”Auntie, I know what you mean. I presume that you also know about my life in the Xu Family. I know my limits.” Xu Chencan also had his own reasons, so he didn't agree to his mother's request in a hurry.

Chu Mu took a long look at Xu Chencan before sighing again. This time, the topic came to a halt.

Chu Lingyu walked in front of her mother and placed a hand on her shoulder, saying, ”I know you are worried about the Chu Clan, don't worry, the Chu Clan will be in my hands for sure.”

Seeing that he was also standing on Xu Chencan's side, Chu Mu's mother glared at him and stopped talking.

The three of them ate in harmony, Chu Lingyu pulled Xu Chencan upstairs and showed her the names of the parties that would be held in a few days.

”These are?” Xu Chencan only gave a cursory glance at the names. She did not even know one of the names.

”You need people you know.” Chu Lingyu said seriously, without a trace of joking.

Since Xu ChenCan needed to understand some of the things that had happened back then, he should start a good relationship with these people. At that time, he might even be able to do him a favor.
