Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 998

Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Their Relationship

Mrs. Chu was tightly holding Chu Wu’s hand, unable to break free.

Eventually, she simply gave up struggling.

But the cunning of the old is not lost on her, she didn’t intend to back down.

"Chu Yin will give too. You care so much about your parents, how could you possibly not give?"

"Mom~"

Chu Wu began to act spoiled.

She continued, "Mom, today Young Master Li actually felt very good about me, but wasn’t he hindered by his fiancée being present, so he didn’t say anything? As long as they’re not married, anything is possible. Don’t you want to escape the current predicament? Are you counting on my sister?"

"My sister has already started talking to me about your retirement issues, isn’t she just trying to cut ties?"

"My sister is a star now, I don’t even have a reliable person, doesn’t that mean you no longer have a pillar of support either?"

Chu Wu’s words came one after another, causing Mrs. Chu to furrow her brows.

Mrs. Chu hesitated for a moment.

Chu Wu said, "Mom, don’t worry, it’s not like I won’t give you money, but I definitely have to save some money for myself. Do you know how powerful Young Master Li’s family is?"

Mrs. Chu was intrigued, unwittingly following along with Chu Wu’s line of questioning.

"How powerful?"

"Don’t underestimate Doctor Li even though he’s just a doctor; actually, his family’s enterprise is quite extensive, professionally managed by people. They just wait for the profit share every year, and their house is worth billions, also an antique. Any random relative in the family is a notable figure in their respective fields, giving speeches everywhere."

Chu Wu displayed the information she had previously searched to Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu was surprised that this seemingly small doctor had such a big background.

Chu Wu continued, "Doctor Li is also Third Young Master’s private doctor and friend. Could anyone in Jing City be bigger than Third Young Master?"

Mrs. Chu responded with a "hmm."

Already completely lost in Chu Wu’s dream.

Until Father Chu on the bed grunted, his mouth twitching a bit, which made him speak indistinctly.

He gestured towards the water cup on the bedside.

Mrs. Chu got up and picked up the cup, inserting a straw into it for him to drink.

Father Chu drank water while signaling to Mrs. Chu with his eyes.

Mrs. Chu regained a bit of awareness.

Their current situation couldn’t afford being led astray by Chu Wu.

Whether Doctor Li favored Chu Wu was another matter; she couldn’t stake everything on this.

Father Chu finished drinking and Mrs. Chu turned to look at Chu Wu.

"Xiao Wu, I understand your point, so here’s what: I’ll also put some money, and you take the rest. We can’t really sell the house, right? If you truly have something with Young Master Li, it’s unlikely you’d bring him to a rental, correct? He’s no Mo Xuyao."

With what Mrs. Chu said, Chu Wu had nothing to counter.

Her reputation online was already unfavorable; she didn’t want to lose the solid support of her parents.

"Mm."

In the end, she compromised.

But felt uneasy, sensing her parents were starting to guard against her.

After they’re done discussing, Chu Wu found an excuse to leave the ward.

She glanced at the balance in her hand, knitting her brows.

Seems like she still had to sell off a few items.

Chu Wu went back to select a few bags from the cabinet, putting them in a bag to take to the second-hand store.

The store clerk checked while estimating the price.

Upon opening a bag Chu Wu had recently used, found an item inside.

"Is this included?"

Chu Wu kept her head down, tugging her mask, and gave a "yes."

Shortly after, the clerk exclaimed, "Miss, we can’t possibly accept this scarf."

The scarf?

Chu Wu immediately raised her eyes, finding it was the men’s scarf Mo Xuyao had ripped off Chu Yin.

She hadn’t traced its origin and had simply tossed it into her bag, forgetting about it.

"What do you mean you can’t accept?"

"Though we know its value, we can’t touch private belongings of the Sang Family," the clerk replied.

"Sang Family? Hai City’s Sang Family?"
