Chapter 688 - The Chief Butler, Uncle Weng (1/2)

Uncle Weng cried out in great surprise, “Young master, your medical skills are amazing. I’ve seen many doctors over the years, but none of them can heal my back problem. You did it in such a short time!”

Qin Haodong gave him a Physique-Improving Pill and said with a smile, “Uncle Weng, just take this pill.”

The old man took the pill without hesitation and Qin Haodong helped him to release his blocked meridians with the Green Wood Genuine Qi to make the pill work more effectively. A few minutes later, Uncle Weng was full of vigor. It was as if he had suddenly become dozens of years younger.

“You’re amazing! Young Master, can I stay here and work for you? I can work for another 20 or even 30 years.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “That’s great! You will be the housekeeper of our Tang Sect from now on and you’ll be responsible for all our family affairs.”

He was now trying to establish the Tang Sect. There were many great masters under his command, but he still needed an experienced housekeeper who could manage all the family affairs.

Uncle Weng had been working as the housekeeper in the Chu family for many years, so there was no question about his capability. He was the best candidate for this job.

This was the best outcome and Chu Xuanyue was also satisfied with it. Uncle Weng did not need to go back to the Chu family where he might be bullied, nor did he have to wander outside alone.

Soon, they went back to the living room. Chu Shanhe and the others were astonished at the sight of Uncle Weng. Why did he look so completely different in just a few minutes?

The old man looked years younger now. His back was in an erect position and he was no longer panting. Even the wrinkles on his face seemed much lesser and he looked young and energetic.

There was a flash of jealousy in Chu Xuanming’s eyes. Uncle Weng’s changes must have something to do with Qin Haodong. Chu Xuanli’s cultivation had been raised by two levels and even Uncle Weng had benefited a lot.

His nephew was definitely a great master and he had to get some benefits later, which was also the reason why he volunteered to come here.

Chu Xuanyue said, “Uncle Weng is a member of our Tang Sect from today on and he will not be returning to the Chu family.”

Chu Shanhe was stunned. He did not expect that they would lose a housekeeper before he even tried to persuade Chu Xuanyue to go back to the Chu family.

Then he smiled and said, “Xuanyue, don’t treat us as strangers. We’re family and Uncle Weng can stay here if he likes.

“But we came here today to bring you back to the Chu family. You will leave this place soon, so what’s the point of Uncle Weng staying here?”

Chu Xuanli followed suit and said, “He’s right. Little sister, it will be nice for the whole family to be together again.”

Chu Xuanming said obsequiously, “Little sister, you have not been at home for so many years, mom and I miss you so much. Come back and be with us now!

“And my little nephew has grown up and he’s much more promising than my sons. He can go back and set an example for them.”

Chu Xuanyue smiled coldly and said, “Second Brother, are you sure that you and mom have missed me? Don’t you hate me?”

Having stayed in the Chu family for so many years, Chu Xuanyue was fully aware of each person’s character. Chu Xuanli, her eldest brother, was simple and honest, while her second brother, Chu Xuanming, was treacherous. Besides, he always bullied her to show his status in the Chu family when they were kids, just because her mother doted on him.

The only thing he cared about was his own well-being and he did not care about the ties of kinship at all.

Her mother, Jin Xiuying, preferred boys to girls. She only loved her sons and had always been impatient and disgusted with her daughter. She was the one who arranged to have her kicked out of the Chu family.

Her mother didn’t even make a phone call to her during the past 20 years and she did not believe that she had missed her.

Chu Xuanming smiled awkwardly and then argued, “Of course we miss you. We all hope that you and your son can come back with us.”

Chu Xuanyue said, “Stop lying. Everyone knows why the Chu family wants us to go back. My son is a great master now and they all want him to work for the Chu family and help them to be great again.”

Chu Shanhe said, “Xuanyue, it’s not what you think. It’s of course a blessing for our Chu family that Haodong is a great master now. But we are inviting you back for a family reunion. You’ve been out for so many years, and we all missed you.”

Chu Xuanyue sneered, “You are asking me to go back for a family reunion? You all missed me? Why didn’t you ask me to return for the past 21 years? Why did you come to me this time only when my son is famous throughout the capital? What a coincidence!”

“Well…”

As the head of the Chu family, Chu Shanhe was the most authoritative person and had always been respected by the younger generation. He had never been challenged like this before.

But now he did not even dare to be angry with his daughter whom he did not appreciate before because her son was now standing next to her.

Chu Xuanli walked forward to resolve his father’s embarrassment, “Little sister, let bygones be bygones. Please don’t talk about it anymore. After all, the Chu family is the place where you grew up. Don’t you want to go back and have a look?”

Chu Xuanyue remained silent after hearing what he said. He was right, the Chu family was the place where she grew up and deep within her heart, she still wanted to go back.

Chu Shanhe’s gaze sharpened as if he had sensed an excellent opportunity. He added hurriedly, “That’s right, Xuanyue. Go back and have a look. It’s your home and you can stay there for just a day.”
