Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 741 He really deserves a beating

That night.

Chu Xin was the last to know that Li Xiu was leaving and that Old Master Chu was the last to find out.

The two were still arguing about Chu Yunting's hospitalization a moment ago, and the next moment they were stunned by this news.

"Why do you suddenly want to leave for a while? From what you're saying, it's not to carry out a mission, and I'm worried about leaving you alone."

Old Master Chu was so worried that his eyebrows were almost knotted together.

No matter how strong Chu Xin is, she is still his granddaughter, and as an elder, he can't help but worry about her.

"I have some friends there who are going to visit. They'll be back soon, don't worry." That was all Chu Xin could say; she didn't plan to tell her family anything more.

Chu Yunting sat to the side without interrupting, and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Chu isn't alone. He has one of our friends too. Oh, and Ge Shaoting is also leaving with us."

When Grandpa Chu heard that Ge Shaoting was also mentioned, he immediately thought of Grandpa Gu. They hadn't even recognized each other yet, and he was really leaving?

"I wonder how heartbroken Old Man Gu will be when he finds out. It's one thing for Lian Nan to hate his father, but why doesn't he even want to go home? I wonder if Old Man Gu will live to see him again."

Chu Xin didn't respond to this. She knew her old man just wanted to say something, so she let him be.

As for whether he would tip off the old man, that was even less of a concern. She believed that the old man, who wasn't completely senile, knew what the best course of action was.

Just as Chu Xin had suspected, when Old Master Chu called Old Master Gu, he was carefully tidying up his belongings.

The property deeds and some money that could not be known to outsiders were all carefully registered, one by one, so that they could be entrusted to Ge Shaoting in the future.

After listening to the phone call, he put down his pen, remained silent for a while, and then said, "The child is grown up, let him be, I won't force him."

Then he hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Old Master Chu stared blankly for a while before finally letting out a snort, "Old man!"

Then he stopped caring about it.

Little did he know that after hanging up the phone, Grandpa Gu stared blankly at the things he had painstakingly organized for a long time. He, who hadn't smoked in a long time, rummaged through the drawers for a long time before finally finding a deflated cigarette, and then found a match to light it.

Perhaps because the cigarette had been sitting out for too long, he started coughing violently before he even inhaled it.

He coughed until tears streamed down his face, felt a dull pain in his chest, and trembled all over.

Knowing he was in a sorry state, Old Master Gu gasped for breath, cursing himself intermittently, "Cough cough cough... I'm so useless... cough cough... I've already come to terms with it, why am I still so agitated... cough cough cough..."

He looked just like he did more than 20 years ago when he suddenly received the news that his daughter-in-law and grandson had both been in a car accident.

Grandpa Gu remembered it clearly. He was in a joint meeting when his bodyguard rushed into the meeting room, disregarding discipline, and whispered the story in his ear with a pained and anxious expression.

At that moment, he felt like the sky had fallen over the Gu family, and he barely managed to stay upright and not faint.

Alas, the world changes, I never thought he would experience the same feeling a second time.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't a case of parents outliving their children.

Grandpa Gu sighed amidst the drifting smoke, "Ah, be content!"

Another day later.

Chu Xin got up very early and saw Zhou Yichen there as soon as she went downstairs.

He and Li Xiu were carrying food out of the kitchen, while Chu Yunting was lazily lying on the dining table doing nothing.

As she walked over, she raised an eyebrow and joked, "Coming to my house to do chores so early in the morning, how proactive!"

Zhou Yichen stood still after placing the last pot of cooked rice porridge on the table. Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in his eyes. "It was my duty to do it anyway."

Aside from wanting to show his sincerity to the Chu family, Zhou Yichen genuinely believed that it was only right to help with housework.

Grandpa Chu and Chu Yunting rolled their eyes at the same time.

Chu Xin found it amusing, and seeing that Li Xiu had started serving porridge, she pulled him down to sit.

"Even if you've done all the work, you still have to eat."

Li Xiu laughed, "That's right, unlike mine, which only knows how to eat and can't do anything."

Chu Yunting was unconvinced, acting as if no one could do it.

"Nonsense! Do you believe me? I'll be even better at handling things than Zhou Yichen when I go to Chen Ping's house in the future!"

Li Xiu glared at him angrily. This son of a bitch, he needs to behave well in front of his mother-in-law, but he can order his own mother around as he pleases?

That's really asking for a beating!
