Chapter 183 Bizarre Parents
Chapter 183 Bizarre Parents
Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu came to find Chu Xinglan and, led by the maid, arrived at an extremely luxurious villa.
"Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, Madam is upstairs. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform her right away."
The maid brought over two cups of tea and spoke politely to Mr. and Mrs. Chu.
This is an ordinary woman in her thirties named Qiu Hong, who is a maid that Gu Ye rehired after firing Ming Yin.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu didn't even look at her properly. Mrs. Chu impatiently urged, "Go and call her down. She doesn't even know to come out and greet her parents. She has no manners."
Qiu Hong was puzzled. Weren't Mr. and Mrs. Chu the lady's biological parents? Why would they talk about their daughter like that?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go." Mr. Chu scolded Qiu Hong with a displeased look.
Qiu Hong didn't say anything, but quickened her pace and went upstairs.
After Qiu Hong left, Mr. and Mrs. Chu looked around in amazement.
Gu Ye's villa was not only bigger than theirs, but also more luxurious. The thought of Chu Xinglan becoming the mistress of the house made them feel unbalanced. This was a privilege that should have been enjoyed by their precious daughter, but it had fallen on Chu Xinglan's head.
Qiu Hong arrived at Chu Xinglan's bedroom door and gently knocked: "Madam, your parents have come to see you."
Chu Xinglan had just gotten up and was sitting in front of the mirror doing her makeup when she heard Qiu Hong's words and her movements froze.
They couldn't possibly be here for anything good, but considering they were her parents after all, and since she was about to marry Gu Ye and wouldn't have much time left to spend with them, she decided to have a proper talk with them.
"Okay, I'll be right down."
When Chu Xinglan came downstairs, Mr. and Mrs. Chu gave her a cold shoulder.
"Being Mrs. Gu soon makes all the difference. Even we, your parents, will hardly see you anymore."
"Mom, how could that be? No matter whose wife I become, I will still be your daughter," Chu Xinglan said with a forced smile.
Mrs. Chu snorted coldly and glanced at Chu Xinglan sideways.
She can be smug now. Now that she has recognized her biological daughter, why would she care about an adopted daughter?
"Dad, Mom, is there something you need from me all of a sudden?"
Chu Xinglan sat down next to Mrs. Chu, and Qiu Hong quickly brought her a cup of tea as well.
"Thank you, Sister Hong."
Chu Xinglan thanked Qiu Hong.
Mrs. Chu felt even more disdain for Chu Xinglan when she saw how polite Chu Xinglan was to a maid.
She's clearly not destined to be a wealthy wife; even a maid has to be treated with such politeness. It's truly embarrassing for her.
Mr. Chu noticed Mrs. Chu's disdain. Thinking about serious matters, and fearing that Mrs. Chu's behavior might affect future developments, he pretended to cough lightly, picked up his tea, and took a sip.
"Lanlan, you're coming home with us today."
Mrs. Chu quickly added, "Yes, we've come to take them back."
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine living here now." Chu Xinglan didn't want to go back.
"What's so good about it? You haven't even married into the family yet, is it appropriate for you to live here now?" Mrs. Chu said unhappily.
"I think it's fine, what's wrong with it?" Chu Xinglan said dismissively.
"Enough with the nonsense, you have to come back with us today." Mrs. Chu was too lazy to continue the charade with Chu Xinglan and said coldly.
Mr. Chu knew that Chu Xinglan was determined to stay here, so he didn't hold back: "That's right. Although you're getting married soon, you're not married yet, are you? If you just stay here like this, people who don't know the situation will think that you're shameless and that you're only willing to marry Gu Ye by clinging to him."
"If I'm going to stick with him, then I'll stick with him. Who cares what others say? I don't care at all."
Chu Xinglan spoke calmly.
"Do you still consider us your parents? Now that you're all grown up and have grown wings, you dare to talk back to us."
Mr. Chu's voice grew louder and louder.
Mrs. Chu also chimed in.
"That's right, I carried her for ten months and gave birth to a thankless child."
"Mom and Dad, what exactly do you want to do?" Chu Xinglan was both amused and exasperated by their shameless behavior.
With their attitude, who would believe they have feelings for her?
If they have no familial affection for her, then why do they so want her to go back with them?
"Lanlan, are you coming back with us or not?" Mr. Chu asked firmly.
Regardless of whether Chu Xinglan agreed or not, he seemed determined to take Chu Xinglan away.
"She won't go back with you."
At that moment, Gu Ye's cold voice rang out.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were startled.
"Gu Ye, why are you back so soon?" Chu Xinglan rushed to greet Gu Ye when she saw him. Gu Ye's presence gave her a strong sense of security. If he hadn't come, she really wouldn't know how to deal with her eccentric parents.
Gu Ye's cold gaze softened only when he saw Chu Xinglan.
"If I don't come back soon, my wife will be taken away by someone else." Gu Ye gently stroked Chu Xinglan's cheek.
"Gu Ye, I am Lanlan's parent. How can you say that?"
Mr. Chu's face was grim. They had come looking for Chu Xinglan because Gu Ye was not home, but they did not expect Gu Ye to return so quickly. It was impossible to forcibly take Chu Xinglan away from Gu Ye unless Chu Xinglan herself agreed.
"Lanlan is living here comfortably, why should she go back?" Gu Ye looked at his future in-laws with icy eyes.
He knew that Chu Xinglan was not favored by them, and sometimes their actions would put Chu Xinglan in a difficult position. Gu Ye felt sorry for Chu Xinglan and did not want her to continue to suffer injustice with them.
"That's true, but you two aren't married yet, and she'll have to prepare for the wedding," Mr. Chu said with a smile, his earlier arrogance completely gone in front of Gu Ye.
"As I said, you don't need to worry about these things, and Lanlan doesn't need to do anything. You just need to send the wedding invitations to your relatives and friends. I will arrange everything."
Gu Ye glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Chu indifferently.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu looked at each other. They knew that no matter what they said, it would be useless. Besides, if they insisted on taking Chu Xinglan away, and something happened to Chu Xinglan, Gu Ye would probably immediately suspect them. Therefore, they temporarily gave up the idea of taking Chu Xinglan away.
“In that case, alright, we’ll head back now. Your father and I will come to see you again at the wedding.” Mrs. Chu tugged at Mr. Chu’s hand.
"Lanlan, no matter what, we will always be your parents. You must always remember that. Even if we treat you badly, we will never harm you."
As he was leaving, Mr. Chu smiled meaningfully.
"I understand." Chu Xinglan nodded in understanding and personally escorted them to the door.
"Why did you suddenly come?" After seeing her parents off, Chu Xinglan asked Gu Ye with a smile.
