Chapter 38 Grandma, are you sure you want to be this cruel?
Outside Wen's mother's hospital room.
Grandma Chu and Mr. and Mrs. Chu have arrived. They're making a huge fuss outside Mother Wen's hospital room.
"Mom, please keep your voices down! My mother-in-law is still resting inside!"
"Is Wen Li's mother more important, or your own mother! Anyway, she already has cancer, she might as well die sooner! What's the point of living in this world!" Old Mrs. Chu's voice was even louder!
The ward wasn't soundproof, and everyone inside could hear Old Mrs. Chu's unpleasant words.
“Look at this, everyone! My own son, the son I’ve raised for decades, has now completely stole his heart from his wife. He’s devoted to his mother-in-law and doesn’t even care about me, his own mother! He even wants to separate from me!”
"So now you only listen to your wife? You don't even care about your own mother anymore?!"
“Brother, I have to say something to you. How could you suggest separating the family? It hurts Mom’s heart so much. You used to be the most filial. Did your sister-in-law teach you that? Sister-in-law, I also have to say something to you. As a daughter-in-law, how can you spend all your time trying to sow discord between your brother and mother-in-law?” Liu Yufang said.
"Sister-in-law, we never looked down on you because your family was from the countryside. We let you marry into our family. What have we ever done to wrong you? How can you be so unreasonable and instigate my brother to divide the family property!"
They all turned their anger towards Wen Li, but Chu Tian immediately shielded her behind him and said coldly, "The decision to separate the family was my own, and it has nothing to do with my wife! Don't you all know why I wanted to separate the family?"
"Mom, ask yourself honestly, every time your headache flares up, isn't it Lili who massages you to make you feel better? Isn't it because Lili takes such good care of your diet every day that your health indicators are so stable? Lili has been so good to you all these years since she married into this family! Everyone in Beijing praises her for being filial!"
"She did everything a wife should do, and never complained no matter how much she suffered!"
Chu Di pouted, "Brother, why are you saying all this? Isn't this what sister-in-law should be doing—"
"Shut up!"
Chu Tian roared, "Should we do it?"
"What do you mean by 'should do'?"
"Then why hasn't your wife done any of these things since she married into the family? She sleeps until noon every day, and can't she even give Mom a massage once a day?"
“My wife is the daughter of the Liu family, and my father-in-law is a famous cancer expert. How can she be compared to my sister-in-law, who is just a country bumpkin?” Chu Di muttered. Liu Yufang also looked contemptuous, clearly thinking the same thing.
Wen's parents could hear everything from inside the room. When they heard them repeatedly mention being from the countryside, they lowered their heads, feeling somewhat inferior. It was their poor background that made Wen Li feel ashamed in the Chu family.
Wen Li's eyes reddened with anger, her lips trembling. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Tian spoke first: "Yes! A cancer expert! What an expert!"
Chu Tian sneered, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances Wen Li had suffered these past few days: "Since you are cancer experts, why didn't you help my mother-in-law when she had cancer? It's because you were too ruthless that we separated!"
"In the end, isn't all this just so you can get my dad to treat the illness?" Liu Yufang said, annoyed. "Fine, I can talk to my dad and have him come and treat this filthy country bumpkin. Is that enough?"
“We wouldn’t dare trouble President Liu!” Wen Li said, her eyes red. “We’ve already hired better doctors to treat my mother! We don’t need you!”
"Sister-in-law, stop talking nonsense. Besides my wife's father, who else can save your mother?" Chu Di only wanted to achieve his goal: "And brother, look, Yu Fang has agreed to treat your mother's illness. You don't need to make a fuss about dividing the family property. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the company." Chu Di said impatiently.
Chu Tian looked at them and found it all laughable; his heart turned completely cold.
He originally intended to leave himself an out, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore.
This family didn't treat him like one of their own.
His beloved younger brother never treated him like a real older brother, but only as a tool to manage the company and make money for him!
"I've already said we're splitting up, and that means we have to. We won't stay in the Chu family anymore. We'll pack up our belongings and move out," Chu Tian said, taking a deep breath.
"Are you never going to stop?!" Old Mrs. Chu roared, "Then I'll put this out there! If I don't agree, you can forget about dividing this family. If I go out and say a word, I can easily pin a charge of being unfilial on you, and you and your wife will be ruined. You'd better think this through!"
"A daughter-in-law who is unfilial to her husband and tries to separate from her mother-in-law—how do you think your wife will be able to survive in Beijing in the future!"
This single charge alone is enough to make the world condemn Chu Tian and Wen Li!
"Don't even mention splitting up the family business again! You get back to your company and get back to work! If you insist on splitting up, think carefully about whether you can bear the consequences!"
Threat!
This is a naked threat!
"Damn it! Second brother! That old lady is a real scoundrel!"
Even Xiao Lang, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain to Si Yelin.
"I really feel sorry for the little doctor. I wonder how much she must suffer because of her grandmother!"
Si Yelin watched this scene indifferently, without saying a word, his eyes as cold as frost.
He looked at Chu Miao, who was not far away.
She was holding her phone, and her hair was neatly tied in a flower shape.
Chu Tian and Wen Li never expected that Old Madam Chu would go to such lengths.
They clutched their chests, both angry and frustrated.
"Dad, mom."
A cold voice rang out, and the next second, an arm was placed on Chu Tian and Wen Li's shoulders.
Chu Miao stood behind them, looking at them with a smile.
No one saw clearly how Chu Miao arrived, but she did, even with a smile on her face.
"Grandma, you've gone a bit too far with this. My dad originally just wanted to settle things simply by dividing the family property. Are you sure you want to be this ruthless?" She deliberately dragged out the last few words, making it sound a bit roguish.
