Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 954 - 955: Toxic Fatherly Love 87

Wu Hao didn’t want to go and find Zhang Yu, thinking that the Chu Family, with its sizable wealth and influence, should be able to handle these matters with ease.

Not just the Wu Family members thought this way—the Chu Family also felt the same, believing that while challenging, these issues should be manageable.

What no one expected was that although the Chu Family managed to weather the storm, its assets suffered significant shrinkage.

Lady Chu looked at the company’s cash flow and remaining clients, and she wished she could beat Young Master Chu to death.

After thinking for a long time, Lady Chu made a decisive gesture. "Get out!"

"No, wait—take Wu Min and go abroad."

"Our family has a house in America. You three can go live there, and I’ll give you $10,000 a month for living expenses."

"What? How is that amount supposed to be enough?" Young Master Chu hadn’t expected his mother to only offer such a meager sum.

Lady Chu didn’t even look at her son, fearing that if she did, she might lose control and lash out at this insufferable son.

"That amount is more than enough. If you think it’s insufficient, learn to spend wisely."

"Do you even realize how much the family had to sacrifice because of your foolishness this time?"

Lady Chu couldn’t hold back anymore and slapped her son repeatedly. "I had thought that even though you liked to mess around, at the very least, you should know what should and shouldn’t be done."

"Now I finally understand—you’ve truly lost yourself."

"Leave—go abroad. That $10,000 is living expenses for you and your family. Whatever kind of life you make of it is your own problem."

Young Master Chu saw the stern expression on Lady Chu’s face and knew there was no way he could avoid this. "Mom, Mom, please give me one more chance. I won’t make any more mistakes."

"I won’t go out anymore." Young Master Chu wasn’t stupid; he realized that once abroad, even with $10,000, life would be miserable.

"Impossible," Lady Chu said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Leave, and don’t come back. Whatever life you lead abroad is up to you."

"I’ll focus on nurturing your wife and daughter in the future."

"Stay in America quietly, and don’t entertain unrealistic thoughts. The family is already in this state right now."

"We can still maintain your life abroad for now, but if you listen to troublemakers and do anything harmful to the Chu Group, the family collapses—you imagine what kind of life you’ll lead abroad then."

"I won’t even send you living expenses, and the house will be stripped from you." Lady Chu had completely lost hope in her youngest son’s intelligence.

"Even if I’m gone, your wife and daughter will be able to take charge and send money to you."

Having arranged even the future, Young Master Chu broke down and wailed, "Mom, Mom."

At this moment, he could only cling to Lady Chu’s legs, sobbing uncontrollably.

Young Lady Chu stood silently to the side, just watching the scene unfold.

This incident had truly blown up. If they hadn’t sacrificed significant benefits in a decisive, "cut off the arm to save the body" way, the Chu Family might have suffered even worse.

However, returning to the Chu Family’s former glory would require nothing short of starting fresh in a new field.

But having Young Master Chu out of the way was, at least, a positive step. This guy had spent his days indulging in food, drink, and play while neglecting the company’s affairs, and worse, he constantly caused trouble.

Not only had he antagonized competitors, but he also fancied himself loyal and brought in his buddies to cooperate with Chu Group, causing immeasurable losses to the company.

Without this troublemaker around, expenses could be cut substantially. More importantly, there would be no need to worry about him getting involved with someone else outside and fathering another child.

To Young Lady Chu, she had only one daughter. All her efforts for the Chu Family were meant to secure its assets for her own child, not to hand them over to someone else.

Of course not—of course it was all for her child. Now, at last, her daughter’s position was secured.

As for supporting Young Master Chu, let him be supported—given the environment in America and Young Master Chu’s penchant for partying, could he really stay quietly at home?

Surely not. He’d go out to play, and whoever he met there would be anyone’s guess, especially with all the illicit temptations over there.

Yes, that’s right—just sending him to America isn’t enough. No, he must be completely ruined.

But this could wait until that wretched woman’s child grew a little older, perhaps around ten years old, and was entirely spoiled in upbringing.

By then, even if the old lady wanted to bring the child back, so what? A completely spoiled child wouldn’t matter—even if he was a grandson, the old lady wouldn’t value him.

Young Master Chu desperately didn’t want to leave home for abroad, but Lady Chu had made her decision. There was nothing he could do but wallow in sadness.

Later, when he returned to their shared bedroom, Young Master Chu didn’t forget to remind his wife, "I’m not suited to life over there. You need to keep speaking well of me in front of Mom."

"Try to get me back as soon as possible." Young Master Chu tried every trick to appease his wife.

In the past, Young Lady Chu might have been pleased, but now seeing her husband’s attempts to cheer her up evoked no emotion in her whatsoever.

However, she knew it wasn’t the right time to turn against him, so she tried to humor him. "I understand, but you know this time the losses were significant."

"A lot of clients left; counting all the losses, it’s several billion."

"You also know that since Dad and Big Brother passed away, Mom has single-handedly taken on most of the burden and sacrificed greatly."

"What? We lost that much?" Young Master Chu was stupefied.

Young Lady Chu realized Young Master Chu hadn’t been paying attention to anything Lady Chu had said earlier. "Yes, and that’s why Mom is angry."

"Stay abroad and use the time to learn something. In a few years, when Mom grows older, you’ll have the chance to return."

"What? I still have to learn something?" Young Master Chu might be a college graduate, but his degree was practically worthless. After graduating, his happiest realization had been that he no longer needed to study.

Yet now, despite being out of school for years, he was suddenly told that going abroad meant not just leaving but also returning to studying.

"Can I not study?" Young Master Chu looked pitifully at his wife.

Young Lady Chu shook her head. "Unless you show some improvement, even if you want to return, do you think the shareholders will agree?"

"Also, don’t forget to properly educate your son." Young Lady Chu reminded him repeatedly.

Young Master Chu had originally hoped his wife would stand up for him and plead on his behalf, but instead, she offered a long list of suggestions.

Unwilling to hear any of it, Young Master Chu seized an opportunity to sneak out to a quiet place, where he quickly began making phone calls to his rowdy friends. He couldn’t leave without having some fun first.

Of course, he didn’t forget to complain about his wife’s unreasonable demands for him to study abroad, improve himself, and prepare for his return.

Lady Chu was heading to her room to sleep when she overheard her youngest son’s phone call and discovered he was making plans to go out again. This nearly sent the elderly woman to an early grave, though she was somewhat reassured to overhear her daughter-in-law urging him to behave.

Now this was the daughter-in-law she had carefully chosen, still trying her best to guide her son, even when he clearly didn’t take her words to heart.

Lady Chu made up her mind—unless this boy managed to truly focus on studying and improving himself abroad, he wasn’t coming back.

Better to keep him abroad, living quietly, rather than let him return to squander the family’s assets again. The Chu Family couldn’t endure a second disaster.
