Chapter 1575 - 1590: Traitor

Chapter 1575: Chapter 1590: Traitor

Xue Meihua’s attention was entirely drawn by Chen He’s comment about being the best man for Mu Xingfeng.

Since childhood, this son of hers was close to his cousin Chen Yankun and grew up following him like a shadow. After that incident, Chen Wanli lashed out at his son because his manager position at the company was taken over by Chen Yankun, and he wanted Hee to sever ties with Chen Yankun to help him regain the company.

Unexpectedly, the son decisively severed ties with his own father.

Since then, he’s been staying at school and rarely returning home.

But she knew that while he had grown distant from the family, his relationship with Chen Yankun remained unchanged despite that incident. In fact, all his pocket money for the past year had come from Chen Yankun, making him the only one in the family unaffected by the incident.

Considering Chen Yankun’s close relationship with Young Master Mu, could it be that her son also has a good relationship with Young Master Mu? Otherwise, why would he be asked to be the best man?

Thinking of this, Xue Meihua quickly grabbed her son, who was heading upstairs. "Hee, is it true that you’re going to be Mu’s best man?"

Chen He knew exactly what Xue Meihua was thinking from her expression, but the words were already spoken and couldn’t be taken back.

"Yeah, mom, Young Master Mu is about to get married. You should quickly advise my sister to move on and stop having any other thoughts," His sister at home had always been spoiled and headstrong. Whatever she set her eyes on, she would stop at nothing to get it. He had suffered enough from his elder sister’s antics growing up and knew her nature all too well.

"Tch, lackey," Chen Shanshan sat on the sofa, took a deep drag of her cigarette, and through the swirling smoke, her red lips parted slightly. Her voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Chen He frowned slightly. He was used to his eldest sister being spoiled and unreasonable, but this side of Chen Shanshan was a first for him, and he felt a bit uneasy.

Then again, after the last incident and a year of tempering abroad, it was only natural she had changed somewhat. But now...

"Sis, I’m saying this for your own good. Don’t look down on me. Had you been more self-aware back then, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. A person should know their place and realize what’s beyond their reach. Who can you blame for ending up like this?"

Chen He advised sincerely, but Chen Wanli found his words particularly displeasing.

He had ended up in his current predicament precisely because he had coveted the power his brother held and even attempted to use the land to negotiate with him.

Thinking about this, without waiting for Chen Shanshan to retort, Chen Wanli pointed to the doorway and shouted, "Get out! I don’t recognize you as my son anymore. You’re just a traitor biting the hand that feeds you."

Chen He hadn’t expected a single sentence would cause his father to lose his temper. But upon reflection, he understood the reason, and a mocking smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He let out a light snort, ready to head upstairs to grab his clothes.

Xue Meihua didn’t care what Chen Wanli thought. Right now, her mind was set on getting her daughter back.

This daughter had been her cherished apple of the eye since childhood, unlike her son, who’d been detached from her since birth. Her daughter had always been close to her, a true comfort and confidante. After her daughter left, her son wouldn’t come home, her husband was busy with work, and even the servants had been dismissed. She’d had enough of the lonely days this past year.

"Hee, please, just this once, for mom. She’s your own sister. Do you really wish to see her estranged from the family forever? Given the family’s current situation, you know we can’t afford for her to fly back and forth frequently. This past year, I’ve been going crazy missing her. Your relationship with Young Master Mu is so good, can’t you talk to him, ask him to let your sister go? I promise she won’t trouble them anymore."
