My Mysterious Doctor and Blessed Little Wife Is Such a Tease

Chapter 1033 Showing Off

At this moment, in the Chu family's courtyard.

Chu Xiao was pacing anxiously in the living room, her heart pounding, her face pale, sweat beading on her forehead, and she kept muttering to herself, "What should I do, what should I do? If he really comes back, I'll have nothing left."

"Sis, can you stop pacing in front of me? My head is hurting just from watching you," Chu Heng lounged on the sofa, looking carefree.

"You don't understand. He's back, and he's come back for my company. If he finds out that the company was swindled by Ma Lianping, he'll definitely come after me," Chu Xiao anxiously and incoherently spoke.

Chu Xiao continued, "You know his methods. What do you think I should do now?"

"Why did he come back, and why…?"

Seeing her somewhat disoriented state, Chu Heng didn't think much of it and said, "Well, he's back, so what. He hasn't come to see you yet. When he does, just shift the blame onto Ma Lianping. Whether he can recover the company or not depends on his own abilities."

Chu Xiao was taken aback and suddenly thrilled, "Right, why didn't I think of that solution? If he finds out, he'll come after me, but if I let him handle Ma Lianping himself, he might be able to regain the company."

"Why didn't I think of it!"

At that moment, the home's landline phone rang, and she swept away her previous anxious mood. Her mood suddenly brightened, and she calmly answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hey, Sister Chu Xiao, it's Manyu. Lianping has already prepared a table of seafood feast, and I remember you like it. Why don't you come over and have it together?"

Xu Manyu flaunted herself like a mistress, treating Chu Xiao as if she were a servant at her beck and call.

If it had been before today, she might have had to swallow her pride, being summoned and ordered around. But now, she couldn't wait to see Xu Manyu and Ma Lianping.

She really wanted to see how interesting their expressions would be upon hearing this shocking news.

She adopted a relaxed tone, her mouth curled into a playful and mocking smile, "Sure, I'll be there soon. Oh, by the way, I'm not a big fan of seafood, so it's better to prepare something else for me."

She hung up the phone naturally and said to her brother Chu Heng, "I'm going out for a while. Don't tell Mom about this. She always has Chu Yi on her mind. If she finds out Chu Yi is back, I bet everything good will go to him, and you won't get a single thing."

Chu Heng sneered indifferently, "Do you think I'm stupid? Mom is getting old and forgetful. I remember she mentioned wanting to return to her hometown last time. I think it's time for her to retire to the countryside."

"Hush, you're playing with fire. Do you think Mom spends her days just eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha scriptures? Let me tell you, she's quite capable. Otherwise, how could she have raised a ruthless character like Chu Yi?" Chu Xiao looked around cautiously, afraid that her brainless brother's words might be overheard.

"Sis, you're overthinking it!" Seeing her cautious behavior, Chu Heng teased.

"Chu Heng, are you truly naive or just pretending to be? Do you think our Chu family can thrive in the capital just by relying on the status our father left behind before he passed away?"

The old master of the Chu family could be considered a founding elder. All these years, even without the old master, the Chu family had not gone downhill. It was not because of the connections and prestige left behind by the old master, but because of Old Madam Chu's reputation.
