Chapter 40 The Secret That Cannot Be Told

"Dad, are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Chu Yang was in a daze. This kind of plot should only appear in novels. Could it be that his father, like him, had opened some kind of money-making cheat?

"Why did I lie to you?"

Chu Shiwen, a straight-tempered man, suddenly became nervous: "Actually, your Aunt Yuan and I have something to tell you."

Chu Yang felt like a bright mirror in his heart, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "What's the matter?"

"You know, my husband and I lived too casually in the past. There is always a hostess at home to support us. Your Aunt Yuan and I have been in love for so many years, so I want to ask for your opinion. If you agree If we’re together, we’ll go through the formalities, okay?”

As soon as Chu Shiwen finished speaking, Yuan Luyao quickly raised her hand and said with joy: "I have no objection. I have already guessed that there is something fishy between you two, hehe."

Yuan Xueying suddenly blushed with embarrassment and feigned anger: "You damn girl, how can you talk!"

Then, the three of them looked at Chu Yang in unison.

"Dad, before I answer this question, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me, I've been hiding this from you for the past few years because I was afraid that you would suddenly let yourself go without the pressure. Now I can explain it to you." Chu Shiwen smiled and nodded.

"Actually, I don't really care about these things. I just want to know what happened at home when I was three years old. You owed so much debt, and my mother was nowhere to be found. It seemed like everything had changed overnight. You You haven’t told me for so many years, can you finally tell me now?”

Chu Shiwen's smile gradually disappeared and he fell into rare silence.

The mother and daughter of the Yuan family also looked at Chu Shiwen curiously. They were probably also curious about this matter.

"I can't tell you this, at least not yet."

Chu Shiwen's energy and energy were exhausted at this moment, and there was a trace of weakness in his tone, as if a big mountain was pressing on him.

"Then is my mother still alive? Can I still see her?"

"She's alive and well, but you can't see each other again."

Chu Shiwen still shook his head.

"Why? Is this some kind of state secret?"

Chu Yang shouted unwillingly.

"It's for your own good that I don't tell you. She also has her own life. Wouldn't it be better for us to live peacefully like this?"

"Okay, forget it if you don't say anything. Don't ask for my opinion on the matter between you and Aunt Yuan. It doesn't matter if I say it anyway."

Chu Yang turned his head stubbornly, standing on the opposite side of his father for the first time.

"To tell you the truth, I plan to take this matter to my grave. Not telling you is to protect you. Even if you threaten me and your Aunt Yuan, don't let me change my attitude!"

Chu Shiwen was so angry at Chu Yang's attitude that he slapped the table and shouted.

"Shiwen, what are you doing? I speak like a child. What's the use of blowing my beard and staring."

Yuan Xueying immediately persuaded her softly, but she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.

On the other side, Yuan Luyao crossed her arms on her chest and looked at Chu Yang with anger in her eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with his actions.

A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation.

The first family meeting held by the Chu family ended in an atmosphere of silence.

At night, Chu Yang locked himself in the bedroom and did not go to the living room to talk to a few people.

"Looking at the old man's attitude, it seems that this matter is of a very serious nature, as if he knew it would lead to death. It seems that the thing that tore our family apart back then must have been an unimaginable behemoth!"

Chu Yang looked at the ceiling with dull eyes.

In fact, he had already analyzed a lot of things from Chu Shiwen's words. Perhaps when he became stronger, he would be qualified to reveal the truth of the matter.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

Before Chu Yang could get up, the door lock was unlocked.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

Chu Shiwen walked in with a glass of milk and said with a stiff smile, "This is the milk prepared by your Aunt Yuan. Drink it while it's hot."

"oh."

Chu Yang took it and glanced at Chu Shiwen secretly.

It seems that Dad has really been poisoned by Aunt Yuan. If the father and son had a disagreement in the past, he would not be so accommodating to him, and it would be nice not to call him out.

At the same time, Chu Yang also had to admit that his father was really getting older and had lost the vitality he had before, and began to miss the warmth of family.

After Chu Yang took a few sips, Chu Shiwen had nothing to say and said, "Are you still angry?"

"No."

"Looking at your behavior, I can see that you are still angry. Dad is a bit too angry today, but it is really for your own good. I am only a son like you, could it be that I deliberately prevent you mother and son from getting to know each other?"

Chu Shiwen's face was desolate, and his tone was full of vicissitudes of life.

This was obviously a step down for himself. Chu Yang couldn't hold it any longer, and his tone became much better:

"I'm a little anxious too. I didn't mean to stop you and Aunt Yuan. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Xiaoyang, we don't want to force you. I just discussed it with your Aunt Yuan and plan to fly to Guangcheng tomorrow."

Chu Yang asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to celebrate the festival at home?"

"No, I have a new project in Guangcheng, and I just happened to take advantage of the holidays to do some research. If time permits, I would like to travel around with your Aunt Yuan for a few more days and give myself a holiday."

"Then I came back in vain?"

Chu Yang was speechless. Once his father and the others left, he would be the only one left in the family. He might as well stay at school.

"I made this decision because I was afraid that you, Aunt Yuan, and the others would be embarrassed. You made such a fuss with me because of your mother. No matter how you say it, you are still a woman. If you can't live with this, you have to find an excuse to slow down."

There was nothing wrong with Chu Shiwen's words. Originally, Yuan Xueying was going to go through the formalities with him, but as a result, the father and son had a huge quarrel over "that woman", and no one would be happy if she left it alone!

That is to say, Yuan Xueying has a good temper and really cares about Chu Shiwen, so she didn't just throw away her face and leave. Otherwise, she is also a rich woman worth billions, and she would not look at you like a little brat.

After a pause, Chu Shiwen continued: "As for you, I discussed with your Aunt Yuan and planned to let you and Yaoyao go to Jiangzhou to live for a while. She has an aunt who specializes in cooking, so you can avoid it. There’s no place to eat lately.”

"That's not good, we are not a family yet, so it will inevitably be inconvenient if we go somewhere."

Chu Yang said hesitantly.

"You have already said that you have no objection to me and your Aunt Yuan. Then we will be a family sooner or later. You go and get along well with Sister Yaoyao, and don't lose your father's face!"

Chu Shiwen made the decision directly without giving Chu Yang a chance to object.

At noon the next day, the four of them had a simple meal outside, and Chu Shiwen and Yuan Xueying flew to Guangcheng.
