Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 919
The Chu family’s image outside is much worse after a series of posts on social media.
Mr. Chu wanted to take Chu Xiang to dinner first, but Chu Xiang seems to have only the paternity test in mind. She must get the results before deciding whether to reconcile with her father, so Mr. Chu took her to pick up Mrs. Chu first and go together to do the paternity test.
Mrs. Chu, knowing that Chu Xiang had bullied Chu Xuan, believed that Chu Xiang was the culprit of all previous incidents. Therefore, she sided with Chu Xuan and was comforting Chu Xuan in her new place.
As soon as she knew she had to go for a paternity test, she suddenly had hope in her heart that Chu Xiang was not her daughter. Although they did the paternity test before, what if the result was wrong? The little bit of hope that she had made her spirits rise, and she insisted on dragging Chu Xuan to redo the test as well.
This was a clear indication that she wanted Chu Xuan to be her daughter and not Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang’s previously slightly relieved expression disappeared, and she returned to an expressionless and somewhat indifferent look, making Mr. Chu’s heart burst with anger and thinking that Mrs. Chu had gone dumb and senile from staying at home for too long.
No one was talking in the car, so Mrs. Chu took out her cell phone to look at it and realized that she had received an email saying that the Chu family was famous. She had a bad feeling and followed the link in the email. Once she saw it, her vision was dotted with black, and her hands shook with anger.
“What’s wrong with you?” Mr. Chu noticed her condition and asked with a frown.
Mrs. Chu gave him her phone. “Look. Their school is so outrageous that they didn’t delete this kind of post and let the students talk nonsense in it. I’m going to call the school. I want to ask them what they mean, and is this how they treat the students’ parents?”
Mrs. Chu called the head of the teaching department while Mr. Chu himself took out his phone to find the post and quickly browsed it. Chu Xuan also took it out to read it.
This post had many people commenting, and with the housekeeper’s revelation, almost all of the Chu family’s internal and external affairs were mentioned. Of course, most of them were true, but some of them were people’s wild guesses.
This is the first time that Mr. Chu knows these things in such detail, mainly the happenings in school and Chu Xiang making a lot of friends. His expression was becoming increasingly ugly. Anyone who saw so many people ridiculing their family and themselves could not stand this, and he had never suffered such insults since he had his first company.
His face grew even colder when he saw the housekeeper saying that he had given the order for Chu Xiang to be malnourished and without food. He only gave the order once when he misunderstood Chu Xiang for stealing. How did the one instance spiral to everyone thinking he constantly starved Chu Xiang just because the housekeeper did not make it clear?
Despite his wanting to explain, he had no way to do it. He was the chairman of Chu Group. He could not possibly try to explain that he had only starved Chu Xiang once.
There are also people who say that the two of them are too proud of themselves and thought of Chu Xiang as a humiliation, so they preferred their adopted daughter because they wanted to give Chu’s family a boost with a marriage alliance.
Some people even say that he cares so little about his own daughter and is not afraid that the company is not inherited because he already had an illegitimate son outside.
He continued to scroll down and saw an even more outrageous one. It actually claimed that he favored Chu Xuan so much because he had an affair with Chu Xuan. Although this post was downvoted, this one claim pissed him off. What had the Chu family become in others’ eyes that such nonsensical rumors of an intimate affair between adopted father and daughter were spread?
Naturally, he also saw someone mention Chu Xiang’s card being frozen but still wearing branded items, indicating she became someone’s sugar baby. However, this news included a clarification that Chu Xiang’s money was borrowed from a good friend, who confirmed it. Along with this thread was the suspicion that Chu Xuan had spread the word and that Chu Xuan just couldn’t see Chu Xiang living well.
The endless comments in Mr. Chu’s eyes were all slander, rumors, and accusation against the Chu family. His heart felt suffocated, and he had no place to vent his anger. He looked at Chu Xuan with an incomparably cold look.
Chu Xuan met his gaze and hurriedly bowed her head. She also panicked as she felt that things were getting out of control, and now Mr. Chu was disgusted with her. Mr. Chu was the decision-maker in the family. If he wanted to make up for Chu Xiang and didn’t even bother to talk to her, how else could she get even?
She glanced at Chu Xiang and saw Chu Xiang’s cold look. Her heart was furious, and she thought, “This bitch is too good at pretending! I must reveal Chu Xiang’s true face!”
Mrs. Chu, who finished her phone call, also looked at Chu Xiang and said in a cold voice, “Are you satisfied now? Even if you delete the post now, the Chu family was already disgraced. Did you come back to the Chu family and make so much trouble just to ruin the Chu family?”
Mr. Chu frowned and was about to speak when he saw Chu Xiang, who had been looking out the window, turn back and ask coldly, “Did I do something wrong? Or did I create a rumor? How much of the post do you think is false, and how much is true? The Chu family being scorned is not my fault.”
“You mean it’s our fault? You-”
“That’s enough!” Mr. Chu interrupted Mrs. Chu in a cold voice and said with sharp eyes, “Be clear about who is your daughter and watch your attitude. Do you want to spread more family scandals?”
Mrs. Chu looked at him incredulously. Did he mean that she was to blame for those family scandals?
