The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief
Chapter 1113 - 490: The Trendy Elder Chu
At this very moment, in a guest room of the house Ji Sifan bought, Chu Munan’s face looked extremely displeased because he also saw the news reports and those topics on the trending list, and he saw the comments where netizens were cursing Song Qiao.
After skimming through a couple of reports, he was already furious enough to almost throw the phone in his hand.
These people are simply talking nonsense.
Clearly, his relationship with Song Qiao is better than Ji Sifan’s, and what’s more, Song Qiao was indeed living with him back then, not Ji Sifan.
Ji Sifan clearly lived upstairs from them.
The person reporting this news must be blind. How could Huanhuan resemble Ji Sifan?
Chu Munan was extremely angry, but his anger was because the report mentioned Ji Sifan and not him.
Exiting Weibo, Chu Munan was about to call Song Qiao when his phone rang at that moment. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Glancing at the caller ID, Chu Munan raised his eyebrows slightly, remained silent for over ten seconds, then swiped to answer the call and put his phone to his ear, walking out of the living room, he shouted to the person on the other side of the phone, "Grandpa... did you call me today for something? If there’s nothing important, I’ll hang up first."
"Hang up, what hang up? Such a big issue happened and you want to hang up?" From the other end of the phone, the angry voice of Elder Chu came instantly. If Chu Munan were in front of him now, he would point directly at his nose and start scolding.
Chu Munan shrugged, helplessly said, "Grandpa, you’re of a considerable age; how come you’re still browsing online?"
Without having to think, Chu Munan knew his grandpa was definitely browsing Weibo.
Several times when he went back he saw his grandpa holding his phone, browsing repeatedly, initially thinking the old man was playing games or reading the news, later he found out his grandpa was actually browsing Weibo.
And, it’s one thing that he browses Weibo, but he even corrupted Song Qiao’s grandpa; he had seen the two old gentlemen sitting in the living room, scrolling through Weibo, laughing out loud at some jokes.
Indeed, sometimes old people do not act their age.
Old people can also pursue fashion and trendiness.
Elder Chu hearing his grandson’s somewhat cheeky words, almost wanted him to appear in front of him immediately so he could hit him with his walking stick.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction and anger, he took a deep breath to prevent his heart condition from flaring up. After quite a while, when his emotions finally calmed, he started questioning, "What’s going on with those reports on Weibo? Didn’t I tell you when little Qiao went abroad with you to protect her? Now such a big thing has happened; do you know if Elder Mu finds out about this, how serious the consequences will be?"
Luckily, Elder Mu hasn’t been browsing Weibo recently. He had just ordered the servants about what to say and not to say.
So now Elder Mu still doesn’t know about the big incident on Weibo, and Elder Chu didn’t dare tell him.
Considering Elder Mu’s health wasn’t good from the start, if he found out about this, the consequences could be very serious.
Chu Munan sat directly on the sofa in the living room, legs resting on the table, his gaze deepened slightly. After a while, his thin lips lightly parted and he continued, "Grandpa, those news articles are nothing but fabrications. You know some people love to write nonsense to grab audience attention. You can’t just believe everything by looking at the news, and even if you don’t trust your grandson, surely you trust Song Qiao’s character?"
Elder Chu heard what Chu Munan said and instantly felt that indeed his grandson was right, but thinking about those awful things written online, and how bad the insults were, the expression on his face was still displeased as he asked, "Then why are those people saying such things?"
"Grandpa, let me make it clear to you, the person living with Song Qiao in Paris was actually me; Ji Sifan was only living upstairs. Also, Sifan isn’t the kind of person Song Qiao likes; her likelihood of liking me is higher than liking that Ji Sifan, Grandpa... you should trust in your grandson’s charm."
"Do you have charm? If you had charm, why haven’t you won over Song Qiao after all this time?" Elder Chu snorted.
Chu Munan, "...anyway, Grandpa, just believe Song Qiao."
Why did it feel like he had dug another pit for these elders to push him into?
As expected, Elder Chu was led out again, but just thinking about those people cursing Song Qiao, he started feeling a bit furious again, "Since it’s not true, what exactly do these people want? Song Qiao is a good child; why would they slander her?"
Chu Munan’s lips slowly curled into a charming smile, yet a trace of coldness gleamed in his eyes, "Probably because someone is jealous of Song Qiao, or maybe due to someone’s romantic debts."
Elder Chu immediately understood and subconsciously asked, "You’re saying this has something to do with the Lu Family kid?"
Chu Munan shrugged, innocently said, "Grandpa, I didn’t say that, you thought of it yourself."
Elder Chu had the urge to beat him up out of anger, "Wasn’t the words you just said hinting it’s the Lu Family kid’s romantic problems?"
Chu Munan, "..." Was it that obvious what he said?
Before Chu Munan answered, Elder Chu continued, "However, it would be better to handle these reports quickly. I’ll first negotiate with Elder Mu this afternoon, you try your best to resolve this, and... I asked you to take care of Song Qiao, not watch her be bullied. Try to find out who is bullying Song Qiao, once you find them... let Song Qiao retaliate."
Chu Munan, "...Alright, I will definitely find that person and let Song Qiao retaliate."
Elder Chu believed in his grandson’s abilities, so he felt reassured, "I’ll go find Elder Mu first, you try to resolve it well. If you can’t manage it, then don’t come back."
After saying this, he directly hung up the phone.
Chu Munan looked at the phone that had already been hung up, shrugged, and felt helpless.
His grandpa loves Song Qiao immensely, probably akin to Elder Mu’s affection for Song Qiao, wishing she could be his granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law.
It’s just that Chu Munan knew very well that he and Song Qiao couldn’t be together, so becoming a granddaughter-in-law was impossible.
