1380 Returning to The Family
Jiang Yu brought her bodyguards with her and went to the Chu family’s house. Old Master Chu had not rested yet and was surprised that Jiang Yu would come to visit him so late at night.
Chu Jie didn’t rest either. When she heard from the nanny that Jiang Yu had brought some people over, she immediately came out of the room and stopped her at the door, not wanting her to come in.
“It’s already so late. What are you doing here? Isn’t this disturbing others ‘rest?” Chu Jie said unhappily, “Why can’t we talk about it tomorrow? Why do we have to talk about it today?”
Jiang Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue with Chu Jie at the door. She crossed her arms and said, “I don’t have time to argue with you right now. If you know what’s good for you, please move aside and let me in. I have something to ask Old Master Chu, and it’s very important.”
“Then tell me, how important is this matter? You didn’t sleep at night and abandoned your rest time to come from such a far place?” Chu Jie still stood in front of Jiang Yu and refused to let her in.
The two of them were in a stalemate. In the end, Jiang Rou pushed Old Master Chu’s wheelchair out.
“Chu Jie, don’t mess around here. Go back and rest!” Old Master Chu shouted angrily, “If you delay some important matters, you won’t be able to compensate for these losses!”
“Grandpa!” Chu Jie shouted unhappily, but seeing Old Master Chu’s firm attitude, she could only be furious. She stomped her feet and returned to her room.
After Chu Jie left, Old Master Chu looked at Jiang Yu and asked, “Jiang Yu, it’s already so late. Why did you bring people over? Is there something wrong?”
“I do have something to ask you,” Jiang Yu said. “And it’s very important. Please let me in. Let’s go to the study and talk in detail.”
“Alright.”
Old Master Chu and Jiang Yu went to the study together while Jiang Rou and the bodyguards stood at the door and waited.
“Jiang Yu, it’s so late. This matter should be very important, right? I wonder what you want to ask?” Old Master Chu asked.
“I wanted to ask you about Chu Ran yesterday. Mo Long had already told you about this matter from the beginning, right? I believe you have sent someone to investigate. Chu Ran is the illegitimate child of the Chu family.” Jiang Yu said.
As soon as Jiang Yu mentioned Chu Ran, Old Master Chu fell silent. He had indeed sent people to investigate Chu Ran, and the results of the investigation had indeed shown that Chu Ran was indeed the illegitimate child of the Chu family.
Old Master Chu sighed and said, “To be honest, Chu Ran is indeed the illegitimate child of the Chu family. I’ve already sent people to investigate, but other than this identity, I can’t find anything else.”
“It’s normal that you can’t find anything else because the power behind Chu Ran is Chi Rui. I think you should know who Chi Rui is, right? He’s the current head of the Chi family.” Jiang Yu explained, “Chi Rui already knew that Chu Ran was the illegitimate child of the Chu family. He’s holding Chu Ran in his hands now and turning her into his puppet. He wants to use Chu Ran to control the Chu family.”
“What?” Old Master Chu was shocked. “Then how do you explain the chip in Chu Jie’s brain? Could it be that the Chi family had never relied on Chu Jie to control the Chu family, but on that Chu Ran? But I won’t admit that Chu Ran is an illegitimate child at all! So what if he really controls Chu Ran”
“If Chu Ran was standing in front of you right now, would you really not let him acknowledge his ancestors? After all, he has the blood of the Chu family in him. If you don’t want the reputation of the Chu family to be at the forefront, then you have no choice but to admit his identity.” Jiang Yu said.
Old Master Chu fell silent.
In fact, Jiang Yu was right.
If he had to choose between the Chu family’s reputation and Chu Ran, Old Master Chu would definitely choose the Chu family. As long as the Chu family’s reputation could be preserved, it was not impossible for them to acknowledge Chu Ran’s identity.
However, that day never came. That was why Old Master Chu kept lying to himself and said that he would never admit Chu Ran’s identity.
“Alright, I admit that you’re right.” Old Master Chu sighed.
“This is a very difficult choice for you. If they did not acknowledge Chu Ran’s identity, the Chu family’s reputation would be criticized by the world. However, if he admits Chu Ran’s identity, Chi Rui will think of ways to put his power into the Chu family and control the Chu family.”
