Chapter 41 (2/2)

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Chu Yue, dressed in a snow-white outfit, came das.h.i.+ng in.

“Dad!”

She threw herself into Chu Yunxiong’s arms. Only in her father’s embrace could her heart be calmed.

“It’s all right. It’s all right. Everything’s over now!”

Chu Yunxiong put down the club and gently patted Chu Yue’s back lovingly.

After Chu Yue calmed down a bit, she let go of Chu Yunxiong and questioned him loudly with sobbing eyes, “You old fox, why must you provoke so many people? I have to live in fear every day as your daughter. Can’t you turn it down a notch for my sake?”

Leng Zuo’s and Leng You’s faces stiffened. Old fox? They had never seen a daughter call her father an old fox in their lives.

“The field of business is like a battlefield. It’s either they die, or we die. Chu Yue, you can’t possibly expect me to abandon the Chongshan House and sit at home doing nothing all day every day, right?” Chu Yunxiong sighed.

“So be it, lest you can’t sleep at night worrying about it. Look at yourself. You have dark circle’s under your eyes now,” Chu Yue said with her tiny lips pouted.

Chu Yunxiong couldn’t help laugh, “If I abandon the Chongshan House, what would I eat and wear?”

“Well, I can provide for you!”

Chu Yue pursed up her lips, roused up her cheeks, and said confidently, “I can earn 20 to 30 thousand a month just streaming myself playing video games. Excluding my expenses, I have more than enough to provide for you. Besides, an old geezer like you doesn’t have to spend a lot. Won’t it be great for you just to sit back and enjoy your old age? You can play chess with the other geezers when you’re free or hook up with some of those aunties dancing in the square. Mom’s been gone for many years now. Even if you bring home some aunties, I won’t say a word. If you happen to like one, you can just marry her. I will be as respectful to her as I am to you.”

Hooking up with aunties?!

Leng Zuo and Leng You were struck by lightning! The young mistress was so brazen! How could she say something like that? Was their boss just some ordinary person who played chess and hooked up with aunties? No. He was a tyc.o.o.n who single-handedly built a business empire from the ground up. He was a force in the world!

No matter how calm Chu Yunxiong was earlier, he spoke up at this moment, “Chu Yue. I’ve spoiled you rotten. You feel you can say whatever pops into your mind. Hooking up with aunties? With your father’s charm, the aunties will be the ones who will come to hook up with me.”

“Go on, keep on bulls.h.i.+tti*ng.” Chu Yue pouted as she held her head high.

“Okay, that’s enough. You’ve diverted my attention from something important. I heard that you bullied your cla.s.smate last night.” Chu Yunxiong coughed and tried to change the subject.

“What bully? He’s the one who bullied me! He pointed his fingers at me in front of so many people and made me feel so embarra.s.sed. You can’t imagine what a jerk he is.” Chu Yue became infuriated at the sound of Xiao Luo’s name.

“I heard everything from Gaoyang and the rest. You’re the one at fault. Remember, those who humiliate others will be perpetually humiliated in return. Don’t ever do that again…”

“Fine, fine. Why must you lecture me when I don’t come here back to visit that often? Speaking of which, I want to ask you a question. Didn’t you promise not to give me bodyguards? Why did you go back on your promise?”

For once, Chu Yunxiong felt his daughter was unreasonable. He made a stern face and said, “I can agree to anything else, but not this. You’re my precious daughter. Your safety is more important than anything else.”

“You’re not only an old fox, but you are also thick-skinned!” Chu Yue was exasperated.

“So be it.”

Chu Yunxiong gave her a deadpan expression, “Oh yeah. You should stop playing those video games so often. Although you can make some quick cash, it’s not a proper job. If you have time for games, you should come to the office and do some managerial accounting. When I get old, the Chongshan House will be yours, sooner or later.”

“I don’t want it. Give the company to whoever you like.”

Chu Yue turned around and said, “I’m leaving for school. I still have two periods in the afternoon.”

She ran out before Chu Yunxiong could respond.

She stopped at the door, turned around, and said teasingly to Chu Yunxiong, “Hey, you old fox!”

Chu Yunxiong lifted his head, “What’s the matter?”

“Take care of yourself. You should go for a jog every day and train your body. Don’t just stay in your room all day. I want you to be like a tortoise that lives for thousands of years.”

Feeling his heart swell, Chu Yunxiong smiled ruefully and replied, “Aye, aye!”

Later on, he thought, if I were to live thousands of years like a tortoise, wouldn’t I become a cuckold? How could that girl to him like that?
