Chapter 913

When Mr. Chu came back and heard she was in the study, he went upstairs to look for her and casually asked, “Are the young ladies back yet?”

The housekeeper lowered her head and said, “Both ladies are back.”

Mr. Chu felt that the housekeeper’s expression was not quite right and wondered, “What’s wrong?”

The housekeeper hesitated and whispered, “Ms. Chu Xuan went back to her room as soon as she came back. Mrs. Chu told Ms. Chu Xiang to go to the study, and then… slapped her twice and splashed her with juice. Now, Mrs. Chu told Ms. Chu Xiang to go back to her room to reflect.”

Mr. Chu froze. Mrs. Chu beat and also splashed juice on Chu Xiang – could it be that all those rumors outside are deliberately spread by Chu Xiang? So Mrs. Chu was furious?

He went upstairs and went straight to the study. The study was already cleaned up. Mr. Chu saw that Mrs. Chu was very tired. He tugged on his tie and asked, “What happened? Did you hit Chu Xiang?”

“I didn’t!” Mrs. Chu retorted a little louder, “That bastard is really too good at pretending. We were all fooled by her. She just poured juice on herself and smeared something on her face, accusing me of hitting her. She also called me shameless, unworthy of being a mother, and called me a retarded fool!”

Mrs. Chu was shaking with anger when she thought of this, and Mr. Chu frowned, “What are you talking about? She called you names and accused you of hitting her?”

“You don’t believe me?” Mrs. Chu got up and walked to him, “She also used this method to accuse Chu Xuan. She drew a toad on Chu Xuan’s face, and just now she said she wanted to draw one for me so that we could make a mother-daughter pair. I don’t know how the school investigated. They said they checked the surveillance and proved that Chu Xiang did not go to the locker room, but that bastard has admitted to me personally!”

Mr. Chu felt her emotions were overflowing, so he was a little baffled. When he lowered his head, he saw a medical report on the table. Frowning, he picked it up and looked through it, “Whose-”

He did not finish his words as he has seen the report inside. All of it was evidence of Chu Xiang’s suffering. Chu Xiang was his daughter, his only daughter!

His face was blue, and when he saw the photos of the injuries on her body, he slammed the medical report on the table with force, “Chu Xiang has so many injuries on her body. How come you, as a mother, don’t know anything about it? She is still malnourished. How is she malnourished when she has been home for three months?”

Mrs. Chu is still angry, so she said flippantly, “Maybe the Chen family beat her because she deserves it. You did not see it earlier. Even I wanted to hit her, and I am her mother! How dare she scold me!”

Mr. Chu snorted, “What did you say? It’s her fault that the Chen family beat her, and she deserved it? She is our daughter. She belongs to the Chu family. Why should she be beaten up by the Chen family people like this? What are you thinking? Huh? Why are you siding with the Chen family?”

Mrs. Chu also got angry, “Didn’t you hear what I said? I was saying that she was ignorant. She even scolded me just now. If she insulted you in your face, wouldn’t you do the same?”

Mr. Chu crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the room, nodding his head. “You are her mother. She has been home for three months and kept quiet all the time with her head bowed. She is afraid to even make a sound, and she is restrained in everything. You said she called you shameless and a fool. Would you believe this? If she dared to scold you, how could she still obediently reflect in her room? Wouldn’t she have run away by now?”

Mrs. Chu’s face was full of disbelief, “You don’t believe me? Why would I lie to you? Everything I said is true.”

Mr. Chu nodded again, “Sure, but what did you say just now? The school said it checked the CCTV and proved that Chu Xiang didn’t go to the locker room, but Chu Xiang admitted to you that she did it and that she was the one who bullied Chu Xuan. Do you take me for a fool? What do you want? If you want to teach her a lesson, do it. What kind of nonsense excuse is that?”

Mr. Chu had failed in his business dealings, and he drank, so he was already irritable. Then, he came home to find his daughter being abused and his wife wronging her. All he felt was that the family was in a mess.

Mrs. Chu thought of Chu Xiang’s words, and then she realized what Chu Xiang meant by letting her have a taste of what it is like to be unable to defend herself.

Chu Xiang is in her room, watching the situation through the Qiankun Mirror smilingly. Mrs. Chu realized the truth and wanted to change, but it was not so easy. The original owner is already dead, so they can continue to dote on their precious adopted daughter.
