Repeating his wife's words: "Bring Chu Mu and Li Ke together? One is my son and the other is your daughter. Strictly speaking, they are brothers and sisters."
"We are a reorganized family. My daughter and your son are not related by blood. Lao Chu, I dare say that my eldest daughter is very good and she is worthy of your son. Also, think about it, I am just Chu Mu's stepmother.
, Chu Mu will always get married and have children, and we will also grow old one day."
"The two little ones are still so young. We are getting older. Maybe we will go back to the west before the two little ones have grown up. Who will raise the two children? Chu Mu loves his younger siblings and is willing to raise them. He
Will my wife agree?"
"If Chu Mu and Xiao Ke are together, even if we take the first step and fail to raise the two younger ones, they will continue to raise the younger siblings as the eldest brother and elder sister. I also want Xiao Ke to marry far away from her.
Dad is staying far away and will bring her here to live after her younger siblings graduate."
Mrs. Chu suggested this out of consideration for herself.
Lao Chu is getting older, and she is worried that Lao Chu will leave before her. Then she will have no income, she is too old, and cannot afford to support the two younger ones. Chu Mu is not her biological child. Lao Chu is gone. Chu Mu
Are you still willing to support her in her old age?
Now Chu Mu treats her stepmother quite well, all for Lao Chu's sake.
After she gave birth to two more babies, Chu Mu obviously had some objections to her, but he just didn't say it out loud. Mrs. Chu could feel it.
I felt that after she married Lao Chu, she even gave birth to a boy and a girl despite her advanced age.
Chu Mu thought she wanted to divide the family property by giving birth to two little ones.
Mrs. Chu actually didn't expect that her old mother-in-law would give birth to a boy and a girl for her second husband.
If a reorganized family has children in common, there will be less scheming between them.
She can also feel at ease. After she gave birth to two little ones, her mother-in-law treated her much better.
"What you said makes sense, but Chu Mu may not necessarily like Li Ke, and Li Ke may not like him. I can't do anything about emotional matters. I'll ask my son what he means when he comes back from a business trip.
, he also met your daughter during his business trip this time."
"If they like each other, they can match each other, but don't tell others that Li Ke is your eldest daughter. Anyway, they have different surnames, and people don't know what your previous children looked like. Let people know that Li Ke is your eldest daughter.
, those with long tongues will murmur."
Mrs. Chu said: "I know, I won't talk nonsense. The two of them are only one year apart. My daughter is indeed very good. It is Chu Mu who I watched grow up. Only when I understand his personality, I am willing to give my daughter to him."
The one who pulls the strings.”
When she and her ex-husband divorced, Li Ke was already sixteen years old. Before the second and third children were born, the couple only had one child, Li Ke, and they were very attentive to raising Li Ke.
Li Ke used to be the eldest lady of the Li family, and her knowledge was much better than that of ordinary girls.
"How are you handling your ex-husband's debt? Will it affect Li Ke?"
Lao Chu thought about the bankruptcy of the Li family and was worried that once he matched his eldest son with Li Ke, he would need to help the Li family pay off their debts.
How could Mrs. Chu not know her husband's thoughts? She said: "I asked Xiaoke that they don't need to pay back the debt. It is Li Yongtai and his wife who pay it. The debt collectors are no longer chasing her for debts. Li Yongtai is now
I’m also working part-time to make money and pay off my debts.”
Lao Chu said thoughtfully: "He owes so much money, and he doesn't have a money printing machine. It's impossible to pay it off overnight. I don't know when it will be paid back. Who knows whether Li Ke will be affected?"
The Chu family is just a well-off family, but they can't spend tens of millions to help the Li family pay off their debts.
Mrs. Chu stopped talking.
"It's very late, you go to bed."
Old Chu patted the back of his wife's hand and said warmly: "Tomorrow I have to get up early to make breakfast and send the children to school. Let's take a look at Chu Mu and Li Ke's affairs first and let nature take its course. If Chu Mu likes it,
He will pursue Li Ke without us taking any action."
Mrs. Chu knew that her husband was worried that the debts of the Li family would drag down his stepson.
She can understand it too.
When she first learned that the Li family was bankrupt, she was afraid of hurting her, so she said those cruel words to Li Ke. Now, she always feels that her daughter is not as good as before to her biological mother.
It was she who broke the child's heart.
"Well, you go to bed early and I'm going to bed. What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"
"I don't care, as long as it satisfies the two little ones and my mother, I'm not picky."
Mrs. Chu hummed.
The two little ones have picky mouths, and her mother-in-law is also very picky. She has to put a lot of effort into preparing three meals a day in order to satisfy the three picky mouths.
After Mrs. Chu fell asleep, Lao Chu made sure that his wife was asleep, and then he called his eldest son.
Chu Mu quickly answered his call.
"Dad, you're not asleep yet?"
"Are you still busy?"
Chu Mu hummed, "I just came back from going to the KTV with my client. I'm going to wash up and go to bed."
"Dad, is something wrong?"
Why call him so late?
"It's nothing, just a chat between father and son. Have you met your aunt's daughter?"
"Saw it."
Chu Mu said: "Auntie didn't tell dad? I also asked Li Ke to have a video call with auntie."
"Tell me, what does your aunt's daughter look like? Is she pretty?"
Chu Mu: "...she is very good-looking, young and beautiful, with good temperament. After all, she was once the daughter of a rich family. Even if the family fails, her temperament has been cultivated and will stay with her for life."
"She's pretty. Does she look like your aunt?"
"There is a two-thirds similarity. Dad, did my aunt say something about why you are so interested in Li Ke and ask so many questions?"
Chu Mu still knows his biological father very well.
After Lao Chu was silent for a moment, he said honestly: "Chu Mu, dad told you, don't be angry, and don't blame your aunt. We are just parents who worry about our children. Dad also thinks it's feasible."
"Dad, just tell me, I'm not angry."
Chu Mu seems to be cold and tolerant.
"What do you think of Li Ke?"
"I've only met her once. I haven't gotten along with her or gotten to know her, so I can't make a final conclusion. But from the outside, she looks pretty good."
After answering, Chu Mu reacted and asked his father: "Dad, you don't want me to be with Li Ke, do you? How can that be done? Logically speaking, she should call me brother."
"You two are not related by blood. She is the child of your aunt and her ex-husband, and has nothing to do with our family. If you like her... Dad thinks it's good."
Chu Mu had a dark look on his face.
"Is this what Auntie means? She asked me to look after Li Ke for her, but she actually wants to bring me and Li Ke together?"
