Chapter 354: As a Ruined Man, What Right Does He Have?
Lu Cheng, of course, caught Chu Yunze’s gaze and saw the silent plea for help in his eyes.
Seeing Chu Yunze’s predicament, Lu Cheng couldn’t help but find it amusing. ’Mr. Chu must be the only person who can make the usually unruly Chu Yunze look so flustered!’
However, the thought of Chu Yunze’s unruly demeanor brought a bitter feeling to Lu Cheng’s heart. Before the incident, Chu Yunze hadn’t been so flighty. On the contrary, he had been far more composed than Lu Cheng himself.
After the incident, he had been depressed for a long time before he started to recover. Then, he gradually developed his current personality.
Lu Cheng wondered if it was really possible for a person’s personality to change so drastically in such a short time.
Or perhaps, Chu Yunze had never truly moved on from his depression. His current behavior was probably just a deliberate mask.
It was because he didn’t want his friends and family to worry. More than that, he didn’t want anyone else to suffer on his account.
As for a significant other, if Chu Yunze really hadn’t moved on, he probably wouldn’t go around flirting with girls so carelessly. After all, if he felt his own life was bleak, why would he be willing to drag someone else down with him?
At this thought, Lu Cheng’s heart ached. This wasn’t how his good brother, Chu Yunze, should be!
"Grandpa, Yun Ze is your grandson. Don’t you know how outstanding he is? Plenty of women like him. Maybe, in a little while, you’ll get to see your granddaughter-in-law!"
Temporarily setting aside his worries for Chu Yunze, Lu Cheng spoke up to Chu Zhengwei. He was rescuing Chu Yunze, after all; he hadn’t forgotten the plea for help he’d just received.
However, upon hearing Lu Cheng’s words, not only Chu Yunze but also Chu Zhengwei and Chu Deming were stunned.
"Lu Cheng, buddy, you..."
It was no wonder they were surprised; they had never heard Lu Cheng say anything like that before! Could getting married really change a person that much?
"Hm? Am I wrong?"
Lu Cheng retorted, looking at Chu Yunze. His question finally snapped Chu Yunze back to his senses. ’Lu Cheng is trying to save me! How could I not have realized it?’
"Ah, right, right, Lu Cheng is right! Grandpa, don’t you worry! When the time comes, I’ll definitely bring home the best granddaughter-in-law for you!"
Chu Yunze said this with a relaxed air, but he was likely the only one who knew that day would probably never come in this lifetime.
Lu Cheng’s guess was correct. Deep down, Chu Yunze had indeed never recovered from that blow.
Although his body now seemed no different from an ordinary person’s, he could no longer engage in overly strenuous exercise, no longer fight alongside his brothers, no longer...
He never said it out loud or showed it on his face, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t struggling and panicking inside.
And while he had since shown a talent for business, in his own eyes, he was still a good-for-nothing.
As a good-for-nothing, what right did he have to drag another woman down?
"Hmph! You’d better!"
Chu Zhengwei also came to his senses. After hearing Chu Yunze’s words, his expression softened slightly as he grunted at his grandson.
Then, with Chu Yunze supporting him, he went downstairs.
’If I can’t see my own granddaughter-in-law, at least I can go see my honorary one!’
