If Song Chu were to form an alliance with his wife, in the long run, under the circumstances where they would mutually benefit from each other, Song Family would definitely have the chance to become the head of the Four Great Clans, and it would also be possible for Chu Family to squeeze into the category of large clans, becoming the fifth Great Clans in the capital!
This is not a joke. Long before I had entered the capital, I had already investigated the strength of Chu Family through a "clap". Other than the Four Great Clans, this is definitely one of the top powerhouses, or even someone with a profound strength that is on par with them.
The current Patriarch of Chu Family, Chu Wenyang, was very decisive in his actions. Lei Lih was known as the youngest ever official in history, with the greatest potential.
Just from the architectural style of the Chu Family, one could tell that the aura it exuded was that of an official's residence. Even though there were no bodyguards around, this aura was more than enough to intimidate and intimidate a petty villain.
"I won't go in." Dong Yue rolled down the window and said as she sat in the driver's seat.
"Then wait here, Sis Yue. Very soon, I'll bring my brother-in-law to meet with my sister." Chu Yuyem nodded his head and then walked in front of me, leading me into this extremely retro building.
It had to be said that the Chu Family was indeed extremely huge. Just this ancient villa alone was several thousand square meters, not to mention that it was even built within the villa. From the inside out, it emanated the aura that belonged to the Shangguan family.
After turning a corner, Chu Yuyem suddenly shushed me and whispered in my ear, "Brother-in-law, just say that you're my assistant."
"Alright." I nodded slightly.
Chu Yuyem restrained his carefree expression and looked at me seriously, "Brother-in-law, you better remember not to speak too much in a while. It's best not to take off your sunglasses, otherwise if you are recognized, you will be kicked out."
"Alright, I'll do as you say. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." I nodded again.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yuyem stopped talking and directly pulled me forward until we came to a huge main hall, where there were seven or eight people. There were children playing, women laughing, old people drinking tea, and even middle-aged people smoking on the sofa, as if it was a normal family enjoying the beautiful times after tea. It was extremely harmonious and one could not tell that this was the home of an official, an official.
The appearance of Chu Yuyem and I immediately attracted their attention, especially the middle-aged man on the sofa. The instant he cast his gaze over, Chu Yuyem couldn't help but become nervous. Even I was breathing slowly.
This person had an expressionless face and seemed to be unsmiling, cold like frost. He was about fifty years old, but his temples had already turned slightly white, and his expression looked powerful even though he was not angry.
This person was Chu Wenyang.
In front of Chu Wenyang, Chu Yuyem immediately smiled like a child, "Uncle, this is my assistant. I asked him to come and get something for me."
Chu Wenyang nodded indifferently and then looked away. He sat on the sofa and smoked while watching TV.
When the girl brought the boy home, no matter what their relationship was, they would automatically ask about it. It was as if there was a faint trace of indifference in the air, as if they didn't want to ask about it, as if Chu Yuyem was an outsider and wouldn't even be able to say a single word.
"Let's go." Chu Yuyem smiled as he turned around. My pupils couldn't help but constrict. I could see the hidden sadness behind her smile. When I followed behind her, I thought those two sisters were too similar.
One of them was cold on the outside, but he had a pure heart.
One of them looked lively, but he actually had a sad heart.
Perhaps, this had something to do with the death of Chu Yuyan's parents.
One became the tool of the family, the victim of marriage.
One of them was standing under the spotlight, but wasn't that a form of protection?
As we walked forward, we went around the main hall on the first floor to the quiet second floor. Chu Yuyem led me to the depths of the second floor. From afar, we saw a closed door.
Chu Yuyem raised his hand and stopped. He pointed at the door, "Sister is inside, but the door is locked. Brother-in-law, wait for me here. The key is in my uncle's study. I'll go get it."
After saying that, Chu Yuyem turned around and left, leaving me here alone.
"Yuyan." I raised my head and looked at the tightly shut door from a few meters away. My heart was filled with an unprecedented feeling of complexity. Within the complexity, there was also burning anger.
Chu Yuyan had been placed under house arrest, and was suffering more than being placed under house arrest. She was completely locked in her room and was not allowed to go out. It was as if she was in jail!
No matter what was said, Chu Yuyan had the bloodline of her Chu Family, what use was there for a person with Chu Family? Was he still a relative? It was simply outrageous!
After a moment of silence, I took a step forward and slowly headed towards the sealed door.
One step, two steps, three steps. With each step, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. If it wasn't for me, Chu Yuyan wouldn't be like this, all of this was caused by me, I was the one who destroyed her peaceful life, I was the true culprit!
If I had left in time and stopped bothering Chu Yuyan, perhaps she wouldn't have to suffer so much, much less be locked in a room, as if she was a criminal that couldn't go out.
Again and again, Chu Yuyan stood up for me, did everything for me, silently endured, never a single complaint.
But I didn't do anything for Chu Yuyan from the beginning to the end. I only gave her a bunch of trouble and even made Soong Shaocheng fly into a rage and hit her with his punches and kicks!
Although I stood up and completely crippled Soong Shaocheng, is that enough?
"The answer is not enough!" I shook my head, thinking that I owed Chu Yuyan so much that I could only repay her for the rest of my life. Not only did I owe her, I loved her!
She loved this kind of woman who looked cold on the outside, but was actually silly on the inside.
When I reached the door, I gently reached out and grabbed the doorknob. I knew I couldn't open it, but I couldn't stop myself from twisting it.
With a crack, the doorknob was twisted halfway, and the door could no longer be twisted.
One door, one lock. It was as if they were separated by a single heaven and earth, as if they were separated by two heavenly layers, and yet it also seemed as if a magpie bridge had yet to be opened.
