You Are Brighter Than Stars

When Xu Chencan returned to the Chu Clan, he could still hear the voices of Su Nan.

Did he really trust Chu Lingyu too much? It was as if she had never suspected him.

Chu Lingyu returned from the outside reeking of alcohol, only to see Xu Chencan sitting in the living room in a daze. Judging from her dazed look, she had probably been there for quite a while.

"Can Can Can." Chu Lingyu used his drunkenness to walk to Xu ChenCan's side and sit down, then he took her hand.

Xu Chencan raised his head and accidentally knocked into his dazed eyes, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Chu Lingyu could not help but laugh.

He raised his hand to caress Xu Chencan's cheek. He wasn't sure if it was because he remembered the incident where he had duped her that day, but he stiffly retracted his hand.

"There's a gathering at the old house tomorrow. Come back with me." Chu Lingyu tugged on her irritating tie and told her the itinerary.

"Do you know I'm not working tomorrow?" Xu Chencan looked at him in confusion.

Otherwise, why would Chu Lingyu tell him this, even without asking if he was free?

Chu Lingyu only smiled, gently pinching her cheeks, saying, "I know everything about you."

"…"

Xu Chencan looked at him speechlessly. He shouldn't have asked him these questions.

Looking at Chu Lingyu's face, Xu Chencan suddenly thought of what Su Nan had said. Why did he believe Chu Lingyu so much?

"What's wrong?" Seeing her in a daze again, Chu Lingyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

With a quick thought, he realized who it was. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

She had just met Su Nan today, and he must have said something that she shouldn't have.

Xu Chencan stood up, backing away in panic. "I have a topic to do. I'll be going up first."

With that, Xu Chencan fled, not daring to stay here any longer.

Looking at her back, Chu Lingyu gloomily lowered his head and tightly clenched his hands.

The chill in the living room seemed to have increased even more. Aunt Ling had originally planned to send him some tea and alcohol, but now she quietly returned to her room, pretending not to see anything.

The next day, Xu Chencan seemed to have already forgotten about returning to his old dwelling. He nonchalantly went downstairs to eat breakfast before going out to look for Su Nan.

However, when he saw Chu Lingyu leisurely reading a newspaper in the living room, all the memories he had of the previous night flooded out from his brain.

Chu Lingyu raised her head to look at Xu Chencan, teasing him with a smile, "My family is very easy to get along with, they don't have any evil women."

"…" Xu Chencan rolled his eyes and walked in front of him. "I'm not afraid of your family."

She nodded, as if hypnotizing herself.

Chu Lingyu put down the newspaper, and looked at her with a faint smile, clearly not believing her words.

"What I said was true." Xu Chencan straightened his back and left a few words, then turned around and left for breakfast.

When she put down her chopsticks, Chu Lingyu silently appeared behind her. She stroked her chin as she sized her up.

"Wear it casually. Go change into a light yellow dress and put on the jewelry that I got people to bring back from France. The shoes shouldn't have too high of a base." Chu Lingyu made some arrangements for her and let her go upstairs.

When Xu Chencan came downstairs again, it was indeed much better than before.

Xu Chencan's skin was originally very good, and she would look good if she put on a little makeup.

In addition to that simple and exquisite collarbone chain, it accentuated her slender neck and her loose hair. It lacked a bit of liveliness, making it look even more solemn and dignified.

"How is it?" Xu Chencan looked at Chu Lingyu nervously.

"That's right." Chu Lingyu looked up and gave her a reassuring smile.

His eyes had always been good, but seeing Xu Chencan's attire, he was still a little stunned. He did not even want her to leave his house.

"Is that really possible?" Xu Chencan walked around in a circle, feeling a little awkward.

Chu Lingyu looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. He did not care what Xu Chencan was worried about, directly pulling her outside.

About an hour later, they arrived at the old house.

Looking at the red gate, Xu Chencan was shocked. It was said that the details of the gate determined the success or failure, and the Chu Clan's residence was even more magnificent than the buildings he had seen before. It must have taken a lot of effort.

Chu Lingyu dragged Xu Chencan inside, looking straight ahead. However, in order to give Xu Chencan a chance to see more of this place, he purposely slowed down his pace.

When they entered the house, Xu Chencan was no longer surprised. This place was rather similar to the Chu Clan.

"Ling Yu, who is this?" There was a woman sitting on the Tian Yuan Department's sofa. She looked like she was in her forties.

Chu Lingyu pulled Xu Chencan over to her side and bowed to her, "Mom, this is Kan Can, my wife."

Mom? Xu Chencan's eyes widened in horror. Why couldn't he recognize her as his mother?

Chu Mu's mother looked at Xu Chencan and smiled warmly. "Cancan, I'm sure you're tired after coming this early. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Knowing that she was chasing him away, Xu Chencan nodded and let a servant bring him upstairs.

"Isn't there a party today?" Xu Chencan calmly looked him over before asking his question on the second floor.

The young lady raised her head and looked at her in puzzlement. "The Madam did not say that she wanted to hold a gathering."

Didn't say anything?

Xu Chencan widened his eyes in disbelief. So Chu Lingyu had lied to him?

Downstairs, Chu Lingyu looked solemnly at her mother, saying: "Mom, she is my wife, I will only have one in my life."

He did not want to waste too much time on this, so Chu Lingyu went straight to the point and told her mother not to have any thoughts that she should not have.

Chu Mu's mother sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't say anything. Why are you in such a hurry?" Mother Chu gave him a supercilious look before continuing, "You think I can't see through you?"

Seeing that she didn't object, Chu Lingyu finally let out a sigh of relief, and her tone towards her mother became much gentler.

He told his mother about Xu Chencan, adding fuel to the fire.

When Chu Mu's mother heard this, her eyes actually reddened a little. She looked at Chu Lingyu and sighed lightly, "She is a good child, it's a pity that she gave birth to the wrong child."

From the looks of it, she didn't seem to object.

"Can Can Can Can is with me. I'll pamper her and make her love me. The things that happened in the past will soon be forgotten." Chu Lingyu promised solemnly.

Chu Mu's mother silently picked up an apple, carefully peeled it, and then gave it to Chu Lingyu.

"Although I don't say anything, other people may not know for sure. You need to know that you are the successor of the Chu family and your wife is also the future manager. What you need to do isn't as simple as enjoying yourself behind your back."

Listening to his mother's reminder, Chu Lingyu was not worried at all. He believed that Xu Chencan would do well.
