Chapter 173 Showdown with Rumeng
Chapter 173 Showdown with Rumeng
When Chu Xing saw Ru Meng staring at him with doubtful eyes, he smiled and started the car while saying, "Liao Bihua is not my biological mother. This woman named Yang Zi may be my biological mother."
"What... not my biological mother?"
After hearing what Chu Xing said, Ru Meng's clear pupils suddenly widened twice as much, and she couldn't help but exclaimed. She was very surprised, "Are you sure you are not talking nonsense?"
"My dear wife, I am very sober now." Chu Xing chuckled.
He was silent for a moment before continuing, "Chen Yi and Yan Feng investigated for a long time and finally found some clues, but the clues were cut off at this nursing home. Maybe this is fate."
Ru Meng comforted him, "It can be considered a reward, isn't it? Nothing is difficult in the world. As long as we are determined, we will find our mother."
"I hope she's still alive." Chu Xing said, his tone a little heavy. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I'm afraid Chu Huating and Liao Bihua will play tricks on her, and she'll be in danger."
"If there is any conspiracy, we cannot rule out this possibility. Otherwise, he would not be framed and arrested," Rumeng said.
She paused, then continued, "What I can't understand is why Liao Bihua got involved with Chu Huating after marrying my father...?"
Ru Meng almost said, "This feels a bit like incest," but she swallowed the words back in time.
Chu Shen exhaled: "I also want to know what is going on, but apart from Chu Hua Ting and Liao Bihua, perhaps only grandma and dad know the inside story."
He was silent for a long time before he spoke again:
"But my father is in this state now, and my grandmother is old, so I don't want to ask her about these things. Besides, the only way for us to know the truth is to find my biological mother as soon as possible."
"I understand!" Rumeng said. After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "When did you know that Liao Bihua is not your biological mother?"
"Before Liao Bihua returned to China, when Chen Yi told me the news, I felt like I was struck by lightning and had a splitting headache!" said Chu Xing.
He thought for a moment, then continued, "I didn't believe it until you found out that poison was mixed into grandma's medicine. Only then did I become convinced that Liao Bihua was not my biological mother."
Rumeng said “hmm”, took a deep breath, and then continued, “It’s really unexpected. If I hadn’t been hostile to Liao Bihua, I wouldn’t have believed it even if you killed me.”
Chu Xing tilted his head to look at Ru Meng, and seeing her distressed and confused expression, he couldn't help laughing: "Everything is fate, and we have no control over it. There are many things that we can't help but accept."
He casually turned on the car music, playing some soft instrumental music, and continued:
"If you can't figure out a lot of things, just stop thinking about them first, so as not to worry yourself. Once you find your mother, everything will become clear."
Ru Meng just said "hmm" and said nothing more.
She tilted her head to look out the car window, at the rows of green trees passing by on the roadside, her thoughts still in disarray...
Ru Meng thought that since Liao Bihua returned to China, Chu Xing seemed to be much colder towards his mother.
Before this, she had thought that Chu Xing was disgusted with her mother Liao Bihua because Liao Bihua could not distinguish right from wrong and helped Xu Feifei bully his wife.
Later, after discovering that poison was mixed into grandma's medicine, Rumeng found that Chu Xing treated Liao Bihua even more coldly. But she never imagined that Liao Bihua was not Chu Xing's biological mother... Too confusing!
The rich family is as deep as the sea.
Ru Meng knew that in wealthy families, although they seemed glamorous on the surface, many aspects were dishonorable transactions.
The most common is marriage between two families to achieve cooperation and each party seeks what they want, trading the happiness of their children's marriage for the sole purpose of family prosperity, without caring whether their children love them or not, or whether they are happy or not.
Rumeng thought that when Ru Qinghui and Li Mei took her away from her grandmother to live in the city, they were just targeting her. They just hoped that she would grow up quickly, marry into a rich family, receive a betrothal gift, or find a family to arrange a marriage for them in exchange for investment conditions.
Which kind of relationship did the newly awakened father and his biological mother have? They were in love with each other, but were separated after having the forbidden fruit? Or was it because of their humble origins that they were separated?
Why did Chu Huating hook up with Liao Bihua after Chu Xing's father married Liao Bihua?
Ru Meng felt that her thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't sort them out...
At this time, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
Just as he woke up, he remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet. He happened to see a traffic light ahead. After he pulled the handbrake, he reached out and brushed away Rumeng's hair, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
Rumeng nodded slightly: "Yeah, I'm a little hungry."
"We will arrive at the company soon. There is a tea restaurant downstairs. You can go there and have a meal first. I have an important meeting to host at three o'clock." Chu Xing said.
He then blamed himself, "If I had known it would take so much time, I would have brought some bread with me when I left the house. Now my wife wouldn't be starving."
Ru Meng couldn't help but sneer: "I'm fine, but you haven't eaten yet and the meeting is about to start. What should I do?"
Chu Xing smiled and said, "Your husband is strong and healthy, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to go hungry for a meal or two."
"Well, I'm worried that you'll get stomach problems from hunger." Ru Meng said.
She didn't want the pillar of the family to get sick from hunger at this time. There were already two patients in the family, and she couldn't afford to have another one fall ill.
"There's always food in Special Assistant Chen's drawer. I'll just use his snacks to fill my stomach. Don't worry, the meeting will be over soon." Chu Xing said.
At this time, he had already parked the car steadily in the dedicated parking space in front of the Chushi Group's office building. He leaned over and unbuckled Rumeng's seat belt. "Get out of the car. I'll take you to order food. After you finish eating, go up to the president's office and wait for me."
Ru Meng: "If you are in a hurry, go up first, I will go and order the food myself."
Chu Xing looked doubtful: "You...can you really do this alone?"
"Am I so fragile in your eyes?" Ru Meng said.
She knew what Chu Xing was worried about. Even if he was really that unlucky and encountered the provocation of a scheming green tea girl, he could just fight back. That would be the end of it, right? What was there to worry about?
Rumeng muttered to herself that she was not afraid of anyone, she just didn't want to be a shrew.
Chu Xing raised his hand to check the time, then nodded slightly: "Then after you finish your meal, go to the president's office and wait for me."
"Okay." Ru Meng replied. Then she added, "What do you want to eat? I'll pack it up for you later."
"I don't mind anything my wife chooses." Chu Xing said with a smile. Then he added, "If there is anything, just call me and Assistant Chen."
After speaking, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the office building.
"Okay, got it." Ru Meng said.
She watched Chu Xing's straight back disappear at the door of the office building, and couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that being a president is not an easy job. You don't even have time to eat and have to preside over meetings.
But some people are born to be presidents, what can they do?
Everything is destined, no one can help.
