Chapter 268 How about I retire now?
Chu family.
Chu Yunting was not as free as Chu Xin. He first sent the person to the post office to mail the letter, then sent the person home before driving back to the unit.
When Chu Xin entered the house, she saw Aunt Zhang, the nanny, and the old man's guard sitting in a small compartment in the hallway, picking vegetables and basking in the sun. She smiled when she saw Chu Xin come in, pointed inside the house, and told Chu Xin that everyone in the family was in the living room.
Chu Xin nodded, without letting the guard say anything, and then walked closer without rushing into the house.
Old Mr. Chu, who had disappeared early in the morning, was at home at this time, stroking his cane in his hand and listening to Li Xiu telling him what happened in Quanjude today.
"I found it strange that Wang Jiahui suddenly called Chu Xin this morning. From what Tingting said, it was related to her daughter. You should know why, right?
I think Wang Jiahui really favors Wei Hongying and Zhou Yichen, otherwise she wouldn't have done this today."
Mr. Chu nodded.
"I figured it out yesterday. This is mainly Zhou Yichen's problem. It's true that the Wei family's daughter has a crush on him, but this kid, hey, at his age, actually wants to be with Xiao Chu."
As Mr. Chu spoke, he tilted his neck back, looking hard to tell whether he was pleased or distressed.
"However, I could sense from Xiaochu's attitude yesterday that she was clear-headed. It was Zhou Yichen who took the initiative first.
Alas! This granddaughter is so outstanding, but she easily attracts people's attention."
Li Xiu was sitting on the other side and found the old man's expression a little funny.
"Should we express our stance on this matter? Wang Jiahui is such a capable person. After losing face today, who knows if she will do something else to disgust Xiao Chu.
Also, she broke her hand today. Anyway, I don’t think it has anything to do with our Xiao Chu, but what if she insists on blackmailing me? "
Old Master Chu snorted in his heart, what should he do?
Of course, just leave her alone, what can she do?
Wanting to marry into the Zhou family, isn't it putting the cart before the horse to focus all his attention on his granddaughter? In his heart, he even hopes that she will pry Zhou Yichen away.
The old man understood that Chu Xin was different from Chu Yunting and had big ideas, so he couldn't control them. So he told his daughter-in-law,
“Wang Jiahui probably won’t dare to look for you and Xiaochu again. If their family is shameless enough to let Wei Xun come forward, just tell him to come talk to me, the head of the family!
Our little girl has a bad temper. If she gets beaten up, it will bring shame to the Wei family, and it will be a tough situation to deal with.”
Li Xiu knew that the old man was angry that Wang Jiahui, as an unrelated outsider, actually wanted to control Chu Xin, and was planning to use the same method to deal with Brigade Commander Wei.
Don’t think that Chu Xin has no elders to support him.
"No, I'm tired of this kind of thing, let alone bothering you.
Don't worry, no matter who comes, I will convince them with reason and not use violence."
Chu Xin stepped into the room and spoke slowly.
Mr. Chu looked at her with a stern face, his beard twitching.
"Why is there no noise when I get home? Are you trying to scare me?"
Chu Xin lazily lay down on the sofa and felt that all the bones in her body were relaxed. She was indeed not suitable for sitting in the office.
"There's nothing to hide, so why should I be so frightened?"
Mr. Chu...
What is this kid talking about!
"Look at you, you're so spineless. Why are you back so early? You can't be like this at work. It has a bad impact."
Chu Xin turned over and continued to lie down. Although the sofa at home was soft, it was still incomparable to the high-rebound sofas in later generations. She really wanted to be a lazy bone today.
She tried to understand the old man's advocacy of the spirit of "hard work and perseverance" at work, but she couldn't sit still.
"Grandpa, my parents and grandpa are no longer in any danger. We just need to wait for the right opportunity to redress our wrongdoings.
You said, how about I retire now? Anyway, I have you, I can..."
"What's so good about that? You've only worked a few days and you're already retiring. I've toiled for decades and am still doing my best. How can you call this a retirement?"
Old Master Chu stared at her, he really couldn't understand her lack of ambition.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were arguing, Li Xiu smiled and got up to go out to help Aunt Zhang cook.
Chu Xin sat up straighter, but still insisted on his opinion.
"You won't starve if you don't work, so why make yourself unhappy?"
Old Master Chu was furious. His grandson was not very capable, but at least he knew how to make progress. But his granddaughter was different. She was very capable, but she didn't want to do it anymore.
"Ge Lao Te recruited you back then, so you can't just leave like that. I'm afraid you'll be ungrateful!"
Chu Xin rolled her eyes when she heard what he said, but she didn't mention the matter anymore.
"What were you busy with so early this morning? It's not even time to get off work yet, so you're back?"
After talking so much, Mr. Chu felt thirsty. He called the guard to pour tea for him and Chu Xin. After taking a few sips to moisten his throat, he said:
"Someone came into the Gu family last night..."
Chu Xin continued to drink water calmly, waiting for what was to come.
“The patrolling police didn’t see anyone, and Old Man Gu also checked and found that only a few old photos were lost, nothing else.
The Public Security Bureau suspected that it might be the work of some remaining enemy agents. After all, our family was linked to the Chu Ge espionage case, so I went over to take a look."
Chu Xin blinked and asked pretentiously:
"Is there no trouble at home?"
Mr. Chu snorted, "Can I come back if there's trouble?"
Having said that, he thought about it and decided to say it. After all, Chu Xin worked in the Special Operations Department, and it would be good for her if he knew it earlier.
"Although there are no specific suspects, the general direction is that it was done by enemy spies. This case should be transferred to your Special Operations Department.
Grandpa wants to tell you that our family already carries the taint of being infiltrated by enemy spies, so they might intentionally avoid you and Yun Ting. Don't feel any pressure, just work normally."
Chu Xin didn't care about these things at all, and she knew very well that there were no enemy spies at all, so she waved her hand to reassure the old man.
"Don't even mention avoiding me. Even suspending me is fine. It's just the right time for me to not have to go to work."
Old Master Chu had a headache. Why couldn't this be something his grandson said? He should give him a good beating.
