The school implemented talent education and did not emphasize the strategy of overflowing with questions. The school had two weekends off and no self-study on Friday night. After school, Chu Xuan took the car home. Mr. Chu was still in the company, but Mrs. Chu was at home.
Mrs. Chu was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Chu Xuan, she smiled and asked, "Are you tired from studying this week?"
Chu Xuan threw herself into her arms and said coquettishly, "I'm so tired, but I feel very fulfilled. That's what high school is like. It'll be better in college. Mom, don't worry."
"Okay, Xuan Xuan, you're so sensible. I've asked someone to make your favorite dishes. They'll be ready soon." Mrs. Chu suddenly remembered that she still had a daughter. She looked up and saw no one at the door. She frowned and asked, "Xuan Xuan, has Chu Xiang been going to school these days?"
Chu Xuan looked up at her calmly and said, "Yes, she has. She seems to have recovered. She even made new friends. I think she's much happier."
Mrs. Chu frowned even harder. "What about you? She's doing well in every way except for the fact that she's living a good life outside. "
Mrs. Chu immediately checked the card she gave Chu Xiang and sneered, "Oh, no wonder. It's all because of money. She refused to use the money in the card and was very angry. Now she can't pretend anymore and is spending it extravagantly. "
This was exactly what Chu Xuan wanted. She walked over and looked at Mrs. Chu's phone screen. Mrs. Chu gave Chu Xiang 200,000 yuan in the card. Now, she had spent 120,000 yuan in just three days. It was not a lot, but compared with Chu Xiang's previous simplicity, it was indeed too extravagant. Sure enough, Chu Xiang was pretending.
Chu Xuan said deliberately, "Maybe it's inconvenient for her to be outside and she needs to buy some necessities. She's now the eldest sister of the Chu family. She can't embarrass you. Of course, she has to buy the best things. She's definitely not pretending. Mom, don't be angry. She's just thinking about you. "
"You're speaking for her? She hasn't even settled the matter of her pushing you into the water. She has a lot of bad habits and doesn't listen to discipline. I really wish I could go back in time and not bring her back. Nothing would have changed. "
Chu Mochen's mother felt that the past three months of her life had been extremely annoying. There were even a few more fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Although parents had the obligation to educate their children, she was not the one who abandoned the child. It was someone else's mistake. It was not her fault. All these years, she had already fulfilled her duty of educating and raising such an obedient daughter like Chu Xuan. Now, a biological daughter suddenly popped out of nowhere and asked her to educate her. Why should she?
Even if someone should be punished for this, it shouldn't be her. She was also a victim. However, his biological daughter was not sensible at all. She had no temperament, no knowledge, and was very jealous. Chu Xiang's existence was a disgrace to her. She regretted it countless times. Why did she bring Chu Xiang back?
Chu Xuan looked at her mother's expression and said, "Mother, let's not talk about falling into the water. Sister definitely didn't do it on purpose. That was a class reunion. Why would his sister be so stupid to do such a thing in public? Maybe she just hasn't attended many gatherings and was a little nervous. Or maybe she just wanted to perform well to make our parents happy. In fact, my sister has worked very hard. Mother, give her more time. How about I take her to more gatherings? "
"No!" Chu Mochen's mother immediately grabbed her wrist and refused without thinking. "Don't take her. She doesn't even know the etiquette and rules. She can't even speak properly. Won't she be a joke if she goes? Your father and I have discussed it. When she can't stay outside and comes back, we will ask her to take a leave of absence and stay at home to learn what she should learn. "
Chu Mochen's mother frowned again. "She doesn't have to go to school on the weekend. Why hasn't she come back? Do you know where she has gone? "
Chu Xuan looked hesitant. After hesitating for a while, she said, "My sister … she may not come back."
"What do you mean?" Chu Mochen's mother looked at Chu Xuan in confusion. She didn't understand her.
Chu Xuan smiled. "Mother, don't be angry. It's really a good thing, not a bad thing. My sister's grades haven't been able to keep up, so she wants to live on campus and save the time of commuting. She wants to study hard and catch up with her grades. So she applied to live on campus and moved in a few days ago. "
"What?" Chu Mochen's mother opened her eyes wide. "Chu Xiang applied to live on campus? And she has already moved in? Why didn't she tell us about such a big thing? "
Chu Mochen's mother picked up her phone and called Chu Xiang, but she couldn't get through. Chu Xuan rolled her eyes and pretended to be careless. "I saw my sister using her phone in school. Did she … blacklist us?"
Chu Mochen's mother believed her immediately. Since the last time she saw Chu Xiang in the hospital, she felt that Chu Xiang was pretending to be well-behaved and dull. The real Chu Xiang was a troublemaker. She was indifferent to her and didn't have the slightest mother-daughter relationship. She probably came back just for the status of the daughter of the Chu family.
Of course, Chu Mochen's mother wouldn't use someone else's phone to call her. She was happy that Chu Xiang didn't want to come back. She asked Chu Xuan a few more questions. After confirming that Chu Xiang was doing well in school and didn't embarrass the family, she put aside the matter of her suspension for the time being. She was still angry and didn't have the slightest intention of looking for Chu Xiang.
As for the fact that the homeroom teacher didn't ask her to live on campus with Chu Xiang, she didn't mention it. After all, Chu Xuan was still in that class and had a good relationship with the homeroom teacher. In the beginning, the homeroom teacher often talked to her about Chu Xiang's problems in school. She didn't want to talk to her if it wasn't a big deal and always replied to her messages very late. Later on, the homeroom teacher stopped looking for her. Perhaps this was the reason why she didn't look for her this time. If it wasn't a big deal, forget it.
Chu Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, she had been worried since school ended. She was afraid that her parents would insist on looking for Chu Xiang. If Chu Xiang said something and her parents went to the school to find out about the situation, she wouldn't be able to explain who could draw a toad in such a short time.
Chu Xiang's move was too ruthless. She really didn't expect that in terms of acting, she couldn't beat Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang's reaction in class was flawless. She even paved the way for her poor drawing skills in art class. Who would believe that Chu Xiang was the one who drew that toad? She couldn't explain it, so she might as well let her parents not know about the school. In a school like this, most of the time, the assistant would communicate with the school. As long as no one deliberately told the parents, it was normal for them not to know about the school.
Chu Xuan escaped a disaster and succeeded in sowing discord, making her parents hate Chu Xiang even more. She was finally in a good mood.
Mrs. Chu, who had calmed down, asked her, "I'm going to the spa with a few wives tomorrow. Xuan Xuan, do you want to go out with me?"
Chu Xuan smiled and shook her head. "Mom, I won't be going to a gathering between your wives. I'll go when there are people my age."
The toad photo had been spread in the circle. Many people who knew Chu Xuan couldn't believe that it was Chu Xuan. Some tactless people sent her the photo, but she didn't reply.
The label of "disgusting" had been attached to her, and it couldn't be removed in a short time. Wouldn't she be a joke if she went out? However, she didn't feel bad. After all, her plan was long-term. It didn't matter if she built up her connections later.
As long as she could take over the Chu Group, who would care about an ugly photo of her when she was a student? The new and excellent label was enough to cover up the ugly photo this time. When time passed and people gradually forgot, this kind of photo that didn't hurt her muscles and bones wouldn't affect her at all.
She had lived a long life, so she was very calm in this regard. There were no traces that couldn't be washed away by time. She was good-looking, so she didn't worry about this temporary impact. She just didn't want to attend the gathering in the circle for the time being. She decided to keep a low profile for a while. If she didn't show up, the topic about her would naturally decrease. It just so happened that Chu Xiang was not at home. She could take advantage of this time to improve her relationship with her parents.
Chu Xuan's mother didn't think too much. After all, she raised her daughter herself. She had never worried about her. She just thought that Chu Xuan had her own arrangements.
"Have a good rest on the weekend. If you're bored, go out and play." She looked at her sensible and considerate daughter in front of her and felt much better. Then she thought that after Chu Xiang lived in school, their family would return to their previous life. There was nothing bad about it. There was no need to be angry.
However, Chu Xiang's behavior was a challenge to their authority as parents. She directly stopped the card she gave to Chu Xiang. It was the usual practice of parents to cut off the economic lifeline, and the Chu family was no exception.
Chu Xiang could live in school if she wanted, but first, she had to go home and apologize for falling into the water. She could only go back to school if she really regretted and knew what she did wrong.
Chu Xiang just walked out of the school and got into Shao Yan's car. The driver smiled when he saw her. "Hello, Sister Chu."
"Hello, Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang, stop at the Century Mall later. I want to buy something. "
"Okay." Driver Zhang responded and drove the car out steadily.
Chu Xiang put down her schoolbag and smiled at Shao Yan next to her. "Have you been waiting for a long time? When I went back to the dormitory to get my clothes, my roommate talked to me for a while. "
Shao Yan took out his phone and sent her a WeChat message. "It's okay. What do you want to buy at the mall? Ask someone to buy it. "
Chu Xiang also sent him a WeChat message. "Buy a gift for your parents. The last time I visited them, it was too sudden and I didn't prepare anything. This time, I should bring a gift."
"No need."
Shao Yan's messages were as few as his. If it were someone else, they might not be able to be friends with him when he was so "cold". However, Chu Xiang had long been used to seeing the truth. Of course, she didn't care about these external things. It was fine as long as he could make her understand.
She smiled and said to him directly, "Everyone likes gifts, especially gifts from the people they care about. Don't tell me you've never given your parents a present before? "
Shao Yan pursed his lips. His fingers moved slightly as he typed two words. "No Yingying."
Chu Xiang said, "Why don't you pick two gifts later? It's better to pick a day than to pick a day. You don't have to specially pick a day to give gifts. For guests like me, giving gifts is an essential courtesy. What about you? Your gift will definitely make your parents happy. Do you want to try it? "
The driver pricked up his ears and pretended to glance at Shao Yan casually in the rearview mirror. He saw Shao Yan nod. He was excited. This Sister Chu was amazing! She actually dared to give gifts to Sir and Madam. Sir and Madam would be overjoyed. They might even faint from happiness!
When the car drove to the mall, Zhang sent the good news to the butler on WeChat when they weren't paying attention. Then, he followed behind the two of them at a distance and prepared to help them carry their bags later. At the same time, he reported the situation here in real-time.
Chu Xiang was familiar with giving gifts. The ways of the world had never been difficult for her. Unconsciously, she seemed to have begun to enter the world. She no longer treated the world as a game and let herself be independent of the world.
Sometimes, if she really immersed herself in her current identity, it would make her life more colorful. She quite enjoyed it.
For no reason, the gifts should not be too expensive. However, Mr. and Mrs. Shao treated her so well that she couldn't give them an ordinary gift. Chu Xiang chose a silk scarf worth 60,000 yuan for Mrs. Shao. The color was very good, and it matched Mrs. Shao's temperament.
"I'm sorry, sister. Your card has been terminated."
Chu Xiang was stunned when she heard the salesperson's words. A card with a total of 200,000 yuan was not worth mentioning to the Chu family. She thought that the Chu family had forgotten about the card. Who knew that they would terminate it for her?
Chu Xiang thought that Mrs. Chu always complained that the original owner's family was bad. It was funny. She didn't even know who was the bad one. Details revealed the truth. These years, Mr. and Mrs. Chu built their business from scratch and spent all their efforts on the company. Their temperament and cultivation were not at the level of a rich family.
When did Chu Xiang lack money? When she was about to take out her new card from the space, Shao Yan handed over his card and looked at her.
Chu Xiang wondered, "How can I spend your money on the gifts I bought for your parents?"
Shao Yan didn't move and insisted on giving the card to her. Chu Xiang said, "Then you borrow it from me first. I'll return it to you later."
Chu Xiang didn't think it was a big deal. She took the card and swiped it for the salesperson naturally. Shao Yan's expression relaxed. When Chu Xiang returned the card to him, he pursed his lips and didn't want it anymore. Chu Xiang forced the card into his hand and said with a smile, "Don't give your card to others casually. Even if you give it to others, they won't accept it casually. Let's go and buy other gifts. "
Then Chu Xiang saw Shao Yan take out his mobile phone and type. She also took out her mobile phone. She thought that Shao Yan wanted to persuade her to accept the card. She didn't expect that Shao Yan sent: [It's not 'your parents'. It's Mr. and Mrs. Shao.]
Oh, so he was fussing about this. She replied in amusement: [Okay, it's Mr. and Mrs. Shao. It's very affectionate to call them that. Let's go!]
Shao Yan and Chu Xiang walked forward side by side. Zhang Bang carried the bags and quickly reported the situation behind them.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao had been waiting at home for a long time. When they heard that Chu Xiang had bought a gift for them and even asked their son to buy one, they specially changed into new clothes and instructed the housekeeper to secretly take a picture of the process of giving the gifts. Unexpectedly, before they finished buying the gifts, they received the news that Chu Xiang's card had been suspended.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao looked at each other, their expressions a little confused. Chu Xiang was so lively and cute. They all wanted a daughter like her. Why did the Chu family not care and even suspend her card? What kind of brain was that? Were they crazy?
Chu Xiang was a girl. She lived in school and didn't go home. What could she spend after her card was suspended?
After discussing, the two of them directly put away the carefully prepared gifts and immediately prepared two cards.
Chu Xiang was short of money. Giving her money was the right thing to do.
After buying the gifts, Chu Xiang asked Shao Yan to choose a gift. At first, Shao Yan kept looking at her, obviously wanting her to help him choose a gift. However, Chu Xiang refused this time. She also told him that the most important thing in a gift for his parents was the thought. It was meaningless to ask others to help him choose a gift. He must choose it himself.
After Mr. and Mrs. Shao heard Chu Xiang's words from Zhang Bang, they were extremely moved! If it weren't for Chu Xiang, they wouldn't have received the gifts from their son. If it weren't for Chu Xiang's "teaching", their son wouldn't have known that he should choose the gifts himself.
Mrs. Shao couldn't sit still. She paced back and forth beside the sofa and then quickly walked to the kitchen. She wanted to prepare one more dish for her son to cook when he came back. Mr. Shao also knew how to cook two or three dishes. He was also interested. He was happy and wanted to cook by himself.
Shao Yan and Chu Xiang came to the Shao family with gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Shao immediately looked at the bag in Zhang Bang's hand. However, they had been through a lot. They immediately looked at Chu Xiang and welcomed her with a smile.
"Xiang Xiang, come in and sit down. Yan has been looking forward to your visit for a long time. He doesn't have any other friends, so he values you very much. You're finally here. Stay here for the weekend. Don't go back. "Mrs. Shao stepped forward and held Chu Xiang. Her eyes were full of love.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I'm here for the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Shao, if you don't mind me, I'll go back."
Mr. Shao laughed loudly and said, "Not at all. The house is full of laughter when you come. And there are two dogs. You'll have a lot to play with in the future. "
Chu Xiang smiled and took out the gifts she bought for them. Mr. and Mrs. Shao had received so many gifts that they didn't feel surprised. However, they were still a little surprised when they opened Chu Xiang's gift, because what Chu Xiang gave them was exactly what they wanted.
Mrs. Shao's gift was a silk scarf, and Mr. Shao's gift was a cufflink. The two gifts were not too expensive and could match their status. They were very suitable for their status and temperament, and they were both very beautiful. It was really a very thoughtful and thoughtful gift. They were very surprised that Chu Xiang, who had just been reunited with them, could have such insight and knowledge.
Sure enough, their son had a good eye for friends.
Then Chu Xiang touched Shao Yan. Mr. and Mrs. Shao saw their son turn around and take two bags from Zhang Bang's hand and hand them to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao even breathed lightly. Mrs. Shao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the housekeeper. After making sure that the housekeeper was filming, she took the gifts with an inexplicable mood.
Shao Yan gave Mrs. Shao a pair of diamond earrings, and Mr. Shao a tie.
Chu Xiang seriously suspected that Shao Yan had given her these two things because that was what he saw when he saw his parents the most. It was difficult to buy clothes without knowing the size, so of course, it was best to buy such accessories.
Moreover, Shao Yan had a good eye. The gifts he chose were very suitable for his parents' temperament. The two of them were really happy. Mrs. Shao immediately took off the original earrings and put on the new ones. Mr. Shao was wearing a round-collared home dress, but he immediately put on the tie.
The two of them straightened their heads. Chu Xiang saw their red eyes and slightly trembling hands.
She smiled. No matter when, this kind of warmth was particularly attractive to her.
She nudged Shao Yan. Seeing Shao Yan look over, she said, "Look, you have good taste. This tie is very suitable for Mr. Shao. He looks very handsome. Mrs. Shao also looks very beautiful with this pair of earrings. It sets off her temperament, right?"
Shao Yan looked at his parents. They also looked up at him with anticipation. Shao Yan nodded seriously. "It looks good."
Mr. and Mrs. Shao immediately smiled. "It looks good. Yes, it looks good. Mom and Dad like it very much! Xiang Xiang's gift looks good too. "
Mrs. Shao also put on the silk scarf. Mr. Shao couldn't wear cufflinks, but he took them out to compare. He obviously liked it very much.
Shao Yan saw that they liked Chu Xiang's gift. They were even happier than he had given the gift. His expression was obviously very relaxed.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao hadn't heard their son speak for so many years. Naturally, they paid close attention to their son's every expression. Now, they could easily tell whether he was happy or angry. At this moment, they were once again sure of one thing. Their son cared about Chu Xiang very, very much.
Then they also cared about Chu Xiang and doted on her as if she were their own daughter!
After the excitement, Mr. and Mrs. Shao went upstairs and carefully put the gifts into the safe. At the same time, they watched the video taken by the housekeeper and saved the video on their phones and computers. They could watch it whenever they wanted.
From the first time they were excited because of their son's changes, to the time when their son was willing to communicate with them through WeChat, to the time when he personally chose a gift for them, these breakthroughs made them excited again and again. They finally calmed down a little when it came to their son's changes.
This was because they saw hope for the future. This kind of thing wouldn't happen once, twice, three or four times. It would fill their entire lives in the future. They hadn't felt this kind of hopeful feeling for many years. It was like a dying tree suddenly receiving rain. Even the surrounding air became lively.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao were very grateful to Chu Xiang. They asked them to change into their home clothes and rest. Then, the couple went into the kitchen to cook together.
As soon as Shao Yan went upstairs, he took Chu Xiang to see the dogs. The dogs had been moved to his room so that it would be easier to take care of them at night.
Chu Xiang saw the two golden retriever puppies. They were completely different from the golden retrievers when they grew up. She was a little surprised. "This is the first time I've seen such dogs. Why haven't I raised pets before?"
Shao Yan wanted to pick up the dogs and show them to her. As soon as he reached out, he was stopped by Chu Xiang. "They're sleeping. Don't disturb them. Anyway, I'll be here on weekends. There's plenty of time."
Shao Yan nodded and whispered, "Let's go to your room and redecorate it."
Chu Xiang found that when there were only the two of them, he was obviously more talkative. When they went to the next room, Chu Xiang saw the well-decorated and comfortable room. She smiled and said, "I like it very much. Thank you! Well, go and change your clothes. We'll come up and play with the dogs after dinner. "
"Okay." Shao Yan was very happy to see that she liked his home.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Not all of it was cooked by Father Shao and Mother Shao, but they still made two dishes each. Chu Xiang ate a lot of it. Shao Yan saw that Chu Xiang was eating something delicious, so he followed suit. Father Shao and Mother Shao looked at them happily.
After ten years, the Shao family finally became warm again.
After dinner, Mother Shao immediately took out two cards and put them in Chu Xiang's hand. "Xiang Xiang, this is a meeting gift from Father Shao and Mother Shao. I didn't prepare it last time, so I'll make it up for you this time. "
Chu Xiang didn't react. What was wrong with this family? Why did they all like to give cards? Just as she was about to decline, Mother Shao held her hand. "It's just a little token of our sincerity. We bought snacks for you. You can't refuse."
Since she said so, she took it.
Chu Xiang smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Father Shao. Thank you, Mother Shao."
"Oh, good girl!" Mother Shao was very happy. She really felt that Chu Xiang was the Shao family's benefactor. She really wanted to snatch her away!
Father Shao and his wife were also thinking about the same thing. They even began to think about what the Chu's business was.
However, Shao Yan was a little unhappy. Why did Chu Xiang refuse the card he gave her? Why did Chu Xiang want the card his parents gave her? His parents were trying to snatch Chu Xiang from him again!
Shao Yan immediately got up, pulled Chu Xiang's sleeve, and said, "Dogs."
Chu Xiang looked up at him. "Do you want to see the dogs? Let's make a comfortable nest for them first, okay? "
Shao Yan nodded. Chu Xiang greeted Father Shao and Mother Shao and went upstairs with him.
Coincidentally, not long after the two of them squatted in front of the two dogs, the two dogs trembled and opened their eyes. This was the first time they had opened their eyes since they were born. Their innocent eyes were so adorable that they almost melted!
Chu Xiang looked at them without blinking. "They're so cute!"
Shao Yan looked at her and thought in his heart, Yes, so cute.
