Chapter 910

Mrs. Chu did not respond to Chu Xuan’s words and frowned at Chu Xiang, “You went around saying that we treated you harshly? The housekeeper at home did not bring you food because she made the decision herself. I just found out about it and have fired her.”

Chu Xiang let out an “Oh” and said, “I did not say to others that you treat me harshly. My classmates assumed after seeing my medical report.”

“What’s in your medical report?”

“Malnutrition.”

Chu Xiang’s plain answer shocked Mrs. Chu. She leaned over and took Chu Xiang’s arm, “You are malnourished? No way!”

Chu Xiang pulled her arm away and looked back at Mrs. Chu. “How is it impossible? Chu Xuan’s parents often do not give me food to eat and hit me when they’re in a bad mood. Even when I was sick, they made me go work at the stall. Of course, I am not healthy. I’m not going to tell you what kind of life I’ve had back in the Chu family, but I’ve been recuperating and getting better recently now that I’m outside.”

Chu Xuan’s face changed when Chu Xiang said those were her parents. Her words were too heartbreaking. Not only did Chu Xuan’s parents abuse Chu Xiang, but Chu Xiang also did not have a good time with her birth parents. Her life only got better after she came out to live on her own. It sounded as if everyone ganged up on her.

Mrs. Chu can’t think so much at this moment. She suddenly thought of the photo Mr. Chu sent her, but she still doesn’t know whether it was true or not. She grabbed Chu Xiang and rolled up Chu Xiang’s sleeve, and when she saw the bruises on it, she was dumbfounded.

What gives the Chen family the right to abuse their children? She had raised the Chen family’s daughter with the utmost care, and the Chen family had actually beaten her daughter like this. She said out of the blue, “Why didn’t you tell me?

Chu Xiang fixed her sleeves and said in a carefree tone, “Chu Xuan knows all this. I thought she had told you long ago, so maybe you didn’t say anything because you sided with her parents. Otherwise, you must be a saintess for giving them 5 million when your daughter was beaten up like this.”

The driver’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and he drove steadily, but in his heart, he felt that the Chu family’s home was unsettled.

Mrs. Chu turned her head to look at Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan hurried to explain, but Mrs. Chu refused to listen, “Why aren’t you surprised when Chu Xiang said she was malnourished and showed those injuries? Chu Xuan, you hid it from us all along?”

Chu Xuan said, “Mom, I only found out two days ago. I thought you knew.”

Even if she knew about it two days ago, it was such a shocking injury. Chu Xuan didn’t even mention it once when she came home and didn’t even ask a single question. How was that normal?

Mrs. Chu’s temples were pounding, and she felt an extreme headache. She suddenly asked Chu Xuan, “That thing in the locker room, did you do it? Why? You don’t want to be in the same school as Chu Xiang? Then say it directly. Why do such a thing?”

Chu Xuan was surprised. “Mom, you don’t believe me? I scrubbed my face until it became red, and my skin almost peel off. How could I be so hard on myself for no reason? I’m not a masochist.”

Chu Xuan cried, “Mom, are you suspecting me of deliberately harming Chu Xiang? Why would I harm her? You guys love me so much. My life is no different from before. What reason would I have to harm her?”

What reason is there? Of course, it was to compete for the position of the heir.

In the past, Mrs. Chu would not have thought about this reason, but now she thought too much about it. All kinds of conspiracy theories appeared in her mind, and she was not feeling well, so she could hardly think properly. And now, Chu Xuan’s crying made her head hurt even more.

Chu Xiang looked out the window and did not make a sound. These things were similar to schemes and plots in a historical drama. Once someone won the heart of the emperor, the favorite concubine would never be suspected no matter what they do. Meanwhile, anything the emperor dislikes would be in trouble despite following all the rules. To put it bluntly, it is a double standard, and they do as they wished, thinking of themselves as someone who can dominate the fate of others.

However, such people are also very suspicious. Once there is a small crack in their trust, their mistrust can grow until it crumbled completely.

Chu Xiang’s painting skills are also unmatched by anyone in the world, not only because she was a world-class painter in one life, but also because of the accuracy and speed of her hands in painting charms for the last ten thousand of years. She was able to draw charms out of thin air against others in a battle, so nothing was too difficult about drawing a realistic toad on the struggling Chu Xuan’s face.
