Mother Chen despite being in her fifties looked like a delicate beauty because of her profession. Tonight she was dressed in a soft olive dress with her hair tied in a bun, two locks of hair that have been curled on the sides to fra her palm-size face swayed front and back as she turned her head to look at Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi who were going to the second floor in a hurry.
Her large apricot eyes got filled with worry as she turned to her husband and said,
"They are still so polite even leaving the dinner while one of them is sick they bowed in front of us apologetically, truly those girls are really so cautious. You should not be so strict with them."
" When am I strict with them?" Father Chen replied waspishly, his moustache ruffled as he heaved a sigh. " Chu Chu is going after a married man and she has beco more and more notorious in the military, did I say anything to her? Even though no one says a thing and they even let her do what she wants everyone knows that what she is doing is wrong. These days even at night I worry that soone from the Fu family will co and question , and in case Shu Chang's wife cos then it will be twice the trouble."
At Li Wenyi's ntion, Mother Chen's face turned sour. She sniffed haughtily and then picked up her chopsticks before taking a small bite of her at but the way she tore that small piece of at made everyone wonder just whose at Mother Chen thought it was.
" Who does not know that our Chu Chu was the one who was with Shu Chang before but because of Old Fu who does not like her for god knows what reason, he forced his grandson to marry that Li girl," Mother Chen scoffed, before Fu Shu Chang was married, their family had indeed gone to get Chen Chu Chu and Fu Shu Chang engaged.
Mother Chen thought that her daughter was indeed really good but who would have thought that Old master Fu would refuse them? To top it all, the old master Fu not only refused their goodwill, he even rushed to get Fu Shu Chang to get married to Li Wenyi completely blocking their daughter's path to happiness!
Father Chen on the other hand was slightly more clear-headed, he knew that his adopted daughter was abandoned by a man before and even if Old master Fu was not that narrow-minded no one would like a woman who has been left behind by her fiancé right on the day of the engagent and thus, he did not bla Old master Fu.
He simply sighed and patted the back of his wife's hand as he said, " It doesn't matter what happened in the past," with concern lining his face, Father Chen wisely tried to make his wife understand. " Now you need to stop Chu Chu and tell her that she cannot be willful, have her see so other n and forget about Shu Chang. Unless that man divorces his wife, she should not go near him."
" Of course, I will," Mother Chen agreed even though she was reluctant she knew that she too could not allow Chen Chu Chu to be willful anymore. "It's just a pity that happiness never cos to our poor child on its own."
That poor child of hers was currently in her room reading a book of black magic and pacing in her room while biting her nails.
" Sister, what happened? Why are you so upset?" Chen Xi walked inside Chen Chu Chu's room and then locked the door behind her properly before she turned to look at her sister who looked rather upset and anxious.
" I can't sense Dan Bai!" Chen Chu Chu closed the book in her hand after she was finished reading all about echoes.
"It seems that sothing happened to her." She paced so more in the room before turning to look at Chen Xi. " I need to go and see what happened to Dan Bai, if sothing happens to her then the portrait's array will weaken and it will cause a lot of trouble for us!"
What was more, Li Wenyi's death which was advancing at a perfect pace would slow down as well!
Chen Xi frowned before she comforted her sister, " Sister Chu Chu, Dan Bai is a fifth-level echo. There is no way she will be caught and killed, you are worrying too much."
Chen Chu Chu frowned and then couldn't help but say, " But what if she t with her match? Hei An De is fast and agile but she won't be able to hold on for long without Dan Bai, the two of them have to be together for us to get the life force of the young won."
" You think too much sister Chu Chu," Chen Xi rolled her eyes as she said, " How can Dan Bai get killed? For soone to kill her they will have to be at least a level ten or nine level practitioner, can you see soone that strong? For soone to reach such a high cultivation level they will have to at least cultivate for more than a hundred years!"
" And if you go there only to check a portrait who knows, soone might see you and warn Li Wenyi!"
Chen Chu Chu thought about it and realized that what Chen Xi said also made sense which was why she nodded and then said, " All right, we will wait for so while if nothing
happens then we will leave it alone but if they don't send us the life force that we get every month then I will go and check up on that portrait."
Chen Xi agreed with her sister, she thought about sothing and then said, " Sister Chu Chu, I can hear that our parents are talking about making you attend an arranged marriage eting why don't you agree? That Shu Chang is resisting too much, you should consider another man as well. At least have a spare tire next to you."
