C124 (1/2)
The quiet living room was emitting a faint yellow light while Chu Yufeng was looking outside. The desolate manor was hidden in the darkness, making it appear even more mysterious. Although it was remote, it was also very quiet. It was truly a good place to cultivate.
He flicked his finger, and the cigarette ash fell to the ground. His eyes were like the eyes of a wolf under the dim light of the lamp.
The clock in the center of the antique lamp was turning, but the sound was like it was grinding his heart. Anxiety and restlessness were constantly fluctuating.
She was curled up on the sofa. Ruo Lan had already gone to rest, and the living room was even more deserted. There wasn't the slightest sound.
His phone suddenly rang. He frowned, then slowly answered the call.
”Master, Miss Yu's last call was from Bai Hao.”
”Got it.” He hung up the phone, stood up, and walked outside.
Opening the door of the living room, a cold wind blew, causing him to feel a chill all over his body. A beam of yellow light was reflected from not far away.
He narrowed his eyes, closed the door again, and continued to wait in the living room.
Very quickly, Butler Li quickly opened the door and stood on the side. Elder Chu walked in with a walking stick and his gaze made contact with the person on the sofa. He didn't seem to be too surprised, as if he had guessed that the person would come.
”Is your Aunt Lan asleep?” Elder Chu walked in apathetically. His expression did not seem like he was talking to his son, but more like he was talking to a stranger.
Chu Yufeng tightened his grip. ”Aunt Lan waited for you for a long time before you went upstairs.”
”Don't you know what kind of character your Aunt Lan is?” She's like that, and whether I'm there or not, she stays late. ”
Chu Yufeng lowered his head, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
”Dad, why didn't you marry Aunt Lan?”
Old man Chu raised his head and looked at Chu Yufeng with a cold gaze. After a while, he said, ”It's not that I don't want to marry his.”
Chu Yufeng looked up in surprise. Was it because Aunt Lan didn't want to marry him? Aunt Lan clearly loved him, so why didn't she want to be with him forever?
”Don't ask, this isn't something you should ask. I know why you called me over this time.” Elder Chu took the tea from Butler Li, sipped it and said, ”That girl is as stubborn as Ruo Lan when she was young.”
”Dad, where is she?” He knew what kind of person Elder Chu was. If he were to act like he cared deeply about her, it would only be detrimental to her.
”Are you in a hurry for her?” Elder Chu had a cigar in his mouth. Manager Li lit it with concern and asked calmly, ”I already said that you can't get close to her.”
Chu Yufeng's heart leaped. Elder Chu clearly meant that he didn't want him to have anything to do with Yu Huan, so what did he do to her?
”Is it because she is Aunt Lan's daughter?”
Chu Yufeng's voice was loud and his tone was anxious, completely forgetting where he was.
Elder Chu's expression froze as he suddenly stood up and slapped Chu Yufeng's face. A resounding slap sounded out, but Chu Yufeng still stood in front of him with a straight face and asked in a deep voice, ”Where is she?”
”Unfilial son!” Have you forgotten what to say, what not to say? ” Elder Chu's face was ashen as he coldly shouted, ”Kneel!”
”I want to know where she is.” His face was full of persistence, not fearing Elder Chu's anger at all.
”Young Master Feng, hurry and kneel down.” Butler Li added on from the side.
”His wings are really hard!” You even dare to disobey me? ” Elder Chu's expression changed as he swung his walking stick at him.
Just as it was about to hit, the walking stick stopped in midair. Butler Li looked at Elder Chu with a troubled expression, his hand tightly gripped the walking stick.
”Master, Young Master Feng was only fooled by his worries. Please tell me about him.”
”Scram!” Elder Chu gave a cold snort and pushed Steward Li aside. Steward Li took advantage of this time to give Chu Yufeng a good kick on the knee.
He reflexively kneeled on the ground and Elder Chu's walking stick also smashed onto his back.
The white shirt broke in an instant. One could imagine how strong Elder Chu was.
”I want to know where she is!” Chu Yufeng gritted his teeth and asked coldly.
”Bastard!” Elder Chu's eyes were red as he viciously smacked him in the back a few times.
The door upstairs opened, and when Ruo Lan heard the sound, she immediately rolled down the wheelchair, ”Brother Chu, what are you doing?!”
Ruo Lan's voice wasn't loud, but it made him stop. Even so, Chu Yufeng's back was swollen and her shirt was completely torn, revealing her bloodied skin underneath.
”Young Master Feng, you know what the old master cares about, why do you still dare to talk back?” Butler Li carefully helped him up and advised him.
