1344 That Illegitimate Child
Jiang Yu and Mo Long had been discussing things in the room and had not come out. Chu Jie sat outside for a while, but she could not sit still at all.
However, she had learned her lesson and would not disturb them rashly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get anything good in the end.
Jiang Rou also had her own things to do, so she didn’t have time to deal with her.
Hence, she could only go to old master Chu’s place to make her presence known.
She knocked on the door of the study and called out in a sweet voice, “Grandpa, are you busy now?” I have something to tell you.”
Old master Chu’s voice could be heard through the door. I’m not busy. Come in.
Chu Jie hurriedly opened the door and went in. She obediently walked to old master Chu’s side and stretched out her hands to give him a massage.
Grandpa, this is a new massage technique that I’ve learned recently. Let me give it a try and see how it feels.
Old master Chu did not even need to think to know that Chu Jie was trying to please him for no reason. She definitely did not have anything good to tell him.
Hence, he said, “since you’re so diligent, just say what you want to say.” Did you take a fancy to another famous brand bag?”
“No way, Grandpa.” Chu Jie pouted her lips in a fit of pique. “I already have a lot of bags. I can’t carry all of them when I go out. Why should I buy so many?”
“Then why did you come all the way here to give me a massage? Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Old master Chu squinted at her. “Tell me, did you get into trouble again?”
“Aiya, I really didn’t, Grandpa.” Chu Jie said. She glanced at the piece of paper on the desk and saw the words ” illegitimate child “.
“Grandpa, are you really looking for this illegitimate child?” Chu Jie picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. “Could it be that our Chu family really has an illegitimate child outside?”
“I’m not sure yet. I’m still investigating this matter.” Old master Chu rubbed his temples as he felt a headache. “The only ones who know the truth are your parents, but they’ve passed away a long time ago. Even if he knew the truth, he wouldn’t tell me personally.”
“Grandpa, I think you should just stop investigating.” Chu Jie said, “what’s the use even if we really find out this person’s identity? Grandpa, are you really going to take him back?”
“Of course, I won’t admit that the Chu family has an illegitimate child outside.” Old master Chu said, “but if this matter is true, I want to find out who he is so that he won’t spread nonsense. If this is fake, then I’ll see who dares to impersonate the illegitimate son of the Chu family.”
“But from the information on this, Grandpa, you’ve already found out a lot.” Chu Jie said as she looked.
“It’s not just that. The people I sent out told me that they found out this person’s name. I heard he’s called Chu Ran.” Old master Chu frowned. “Although I don’t know if this name is real or fake, as long as there’s even the slightest possibility, I will never let him off. After all, to cut grass, one must remove the roots. I’m doing this to avoid future trouble.”
“Grandpa, I don’t think so. There’s no need to go to such great lengths for such a person.” Chu Jie advised, “look at you. Although your body is still strong, you’re getting older. Why do you have to worry about such a thing? can’t you just leave it to the people under you?”
“How can I be at ease when they do things so rashly?” Old master Chu sighed. “No matter what, I will only acknowledge you as my granddaughter. So don’t be afraid. Even if this illegitimate child really exists, I will never let him come back to the Chu family.”
“Yes, I knew it. Grandpa loves me the most.” Chu Jie grinned and leaned on old master Chu’s shoulder. “Oh right, Grandpa, have you considered the matter between me and Mr. Mo Long?”
Upon hearing this name, old master Chu’s expression instantly turned cold. “I can do whatever you want, but not this,” he said.
“Why, Grandpa?” Chu Jie said unhappily, “I don’t have anything else to ask of you. It’s just this one thing. Grandpa, just promise me that you’ll help me.”
“No,” Old master Chu rejected her immediately. “How do you want me to help you with this? If I really did help you, then wouldn’t you become the third party?”
“How am I the third party? It’s that Jiang Yu who doesn’t know what first come first serve is.” Chu Jie said, “I don’t think she has known Mr. Mo Long for long, right?”
“I’ve already told you not to place any hopes on Mo Long.”
