C10 (1/2)

Nightfall quietly arrived. The dark red luster on the horizon slowly faded away as time passed.

Everyone at the table was waiting for Chu Feng's arrival.

After a while, Chu Feng's tall and straight figure slowly appeared from the grayness of the night.

Chu Xiaotian, who was at the table, had a smile on his face as if a gentle breeze had blown by. He happily introduced another calm old man to introduce Chu Feng who was striding towards him with his head held high.

Everyone's gazes followed Chu Tianxiao's words and landed on Chu Feng. However, no one noticed that there was another handsome person following behind Chu Feng.

Only when Chu Feng entered the room and pulled a chair for the girl to sit on did everyone notice the girl's existence.

The girl had a very ordinary appearance. She was the kind that would only appear in big groups on the streets.

At first, no one noticed the girl, they all thought she was one of the Chu Clan's young master's lackeys.

But now that she saw that the young master of the Chu family had personally pulled up the chair for her, she couldn't help but ask in her heart with some surprise, who was this girl!

How could she ask the young master of the Chu Clan to serve her?

The people at the table looked at Chu Xiaotian in confusion, hoping that he would tell them something.

However, at this moment, Chu Xiaotian's face was red with embarrassment.

Right now, he didn't know how to explain the girl's existence. He couldn't say himself: I don't know him. My grandson picked him up on the street.

From the time Chu Feng brought her here to eat, Chu Xiaotian could tell that the girl was not ordinary to Chu Feng. If he said something that displeased Chu Feng, the tigress would not show mercy.

Thus, Chu Xiaotian could only laugh as he replied to everyone's puzzled expressions.

At that time, Chu Feng saw his grandfather's awkwardness and went up to help him, ”This is my sister, Chu Ruoyan.”

After hearing Zi Feng's words, everyone withdrew their puzzled gazes.

However, he couldn't understand why Old Man Chu didn't mention that he had a granddaughter just now. He didn't seem to understand, but he didn't pursue the matter.

After all, this was someone else's family matter.

When the Chu family head next to the Chu family's old patriarch heard Chu Feng say that the girl was his sister, she asked with doubt in her heart, ”Does his son still have a daughter?” However, in the blink of an eye, he had rejected that foolish idea. This was because his son would not look for other women, otherwise why would his son Chu Mingfan continue to wander around, searching for his long-lost wife, Bing Xinshui.

Thinking to that point, the old lady couldn't help confirming that there was a story between Chu Feng and the girl.

He couldn't help but think about when it had happened.

Ever since Chu Feng returned home, he had never left the residence. He must have known her when he was wandering, but from the look in the girl's eyes, it was obvious that she didn't recognize her grandson.

This confused the madame.

Tonight's banquet was held for Chu Xiaotian by some of the higher officials in the capital. Everyone was enjoying their meal.

Only the girl, Chu Ruyan, was a little afraid of people. This was because she had never experienced such a high-class banquet before.

After the meal, the mansion's master arranged a place for Chu Xiaotian to stay.

The old mistress brought Chu Feng and the girl back, leaving Chu Xiaotian alone in the hall to reminisce with his old friends.

After Chu Feng sent the girl into her own room, just as he returned to his own room, his grandmother, Wen Bixia, knocked on the door and walked in.

The madame gazed at Chu Feng for a while before asking amiably, ”Who is that girl?”

The old mistress looked to Chu Feng with hope.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Chu Feng's expression turned a bit dejected.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Grandma Wen Bixia clearly saw Chu Feng's painful expression. She hurriedly said, ”Granny doesn't ask, don't ask.”

His grandmother had given him too much love.

Chu Feng took in a deep breath and said, ”That winter, I was five years old. It was snowing heavily, and my father took me to wander the streets. When night fell, my father and I squatted down in a corner where no one was. ”

After pausing for a moment, Chu Feng continued, ”At that time, father went out to look for food, leaving me by myself.” Advertisement At that time, I was very cold, wearing only a thin dress, not even a jacket. I was shivering in the corner.

A few children, who were playing on the road, saw me squatting in a corner. They grabbed the snow from the ground and threw it at me, laughing as they did so: ”Motherless child, just wait for me to freeze to death!”

Continuing on, Chu Feng's emotions were a bit stirred up and the corners of his eyes couldn't help getting moist.

Even now, Chu Feng could still clearly remember the faces of those children. They were so high and mighty.

Chu Feng, who had stopped for a moment, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He raised his head and stubbornly looked at his grandmother.

At this moment, her grandma's eyes were filled with tears. She once thought about how pitiful her grandson used to be.

But now that she heard it from her own mouth, how could she not feel heartache? She didn't dare to imagine what it must have been like for the father and son from seven years ago.

The cold wind that winter was bone-piercing, and the sky was freezing cold. During that winter, the kittens that she had kept for so many years were unable to survive.

She could not imagine how her own son and grandson could survive such a cold day. Her son was better, because she knew that her son had different abilities, but her grandson's small body was still able to endure the cold winter.

As he thought about it, tears welled up in the old man's eyes. In the end, they flowed down the wrinkles on his face.

After sobbing for a while, Chu Feng smiled and continued speaking. At that time, as he was enduring the insults and ridicule from the group of children, a girl walked out and said to the group of boys, ”How can you do that?” He's already very pitiful. How can you all bully her like this?

As she said this, the girl was already sobbing.

The boys saw that the girl was on the verge of tears, and they all hugged her because she had a great father.

When the girl saw that the group of people had dispersed, she wiped her eyes and smiled, ”I didn't expect them to be so cowardly. A few tears were enough to scare them away.”

The girl's sweet voice made Chu Feng, who was curled up in a corner, raise his head and take a look.

The girl smiled at him and said, ”Wait a moment, I'll go back and get some bread.”

After a while, the girl brought a hot biscuit. Chu Feng held it in his hand, smelled it, and looked at the girl with gratitude.

The girl also looked at Chu Feng while smiling. After a while, the girl puzzledly looked at Chu Feng and said, ”Why aren't you eating? It will become cold in a while.”
