Chapter 291 Uncle Chu Wants a Divorce?!
Thinking about Su Nuannuan's words, Chu Mingzhou felt that his father must know something.

Chu Mingzhou's unease grew, and he planned to talk to Su Nuannuan after Zhou Menglu and Pang Pangpang left.

Zhou Menglu and Pang Pangpang were both uneasy.

They knew Su Nuannuan wasn't bluffing, so they were even more frightened.

"Nuan Nuan, what should we do if this really happens?"

Zhou Menglu is someone who enjoys life, and when things don't go her way, she likes to use her privileges. However, she's not a bad person at heart, and the Zhou family hasn't done anything illegal or disorderly, which is the main reason Su Nuannuan wants to help her.

Su Nuannuan looked into Zhou Menglu's eyes and said.

"Now you'll have to figure it out yourselves. I estimate that the reckoning will begin around this time next year. However, those in the know are already making preparations. I think you should tell Uncle Zhou about this and ask him to find a solution."

If you ask Su Nuannuan to come up with a solution, it boils down to two words: "survival" and "running away."

I'll come back in a decade or so, and I'll be a hero again.

Of course, Su Nuannuan couldn't say it outright.

Instead of hoping Zhou Menglu can come up with a solution, it would be better to just let Uncle Zhou know directly.

Su Nuannuan had met Zhou Menglu's father and knew he was a cunning and shrewd old fox. Even if they were all tied together, it might not be as good as the method Uncle Zhou had come up with.

Zhou Menglu panicked when she heard Su Nuannuan's words.

"Yes...yes, I'm going to tell Dad."

Zhou Menglu had no desire to stay any longer. She stood up and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry, I feel uneasy if I don't tell Dad about this. Pang Pang and I are going home now."

Su Nuannuan nodded, patted Zhou Menglu's arm, and said.

"It's alright, go back quickly. Remember, you only have one year to prepare, so you need to find a solution as soon as possible."

This is the most help Su Nuannuan can offer.

Knowing her own weakness, the only help she could offer was to remind the other party.

Zhou Menglu's eyes reddened. She hugged Su Nuannuan and then hurriedly left with Pang Pangpang.

After the two left, Chu Mingzhou looked at Su Nuannuan with a hesitant expression.

Seeing her partner's expression, Su Nuannuan smiled.

She touched the other person's ear and said.

"If you have any questions, just ask. I'll definitely tell you."

Chu Mingzhou felt a little shy and flustered when Su Nuannuan touched his ear.

However, this feeling was quickly replaced by worry.

Su Nuannuan trusted him, and he trusted Su Nuannuan.

Chu Mingzhou did not ask Su Nuannuan about the source of the information, but instead told her about her father's recent unusual behavior.

“Dad has been acting strangely these past few days. He often leaves early and comes home late without telling the family. When I first went to Yuanhua County, everyone in the family disagreed, but my father was the first to agree. Moreover, my father also sent my second brother to serve in the army on an island.”

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened when she heard Chu Mingzhou's words, and she blurted out.

“Isn’t your second brother in the same class as my second brother? He’s a pilot, and your father had the heart to send him to an island.”

These days, sending a precious college student to serve as a soldier on an island is undoubtedly a waste of resources.

However, Chu Wenzhu still gave it to him.

Su Nuannuan felt that Chu Wenzhu's actions were unusually familiar, as if he knew about the situation in advance and was avoiding risks.

Su Nuannuan thought about it and felt that this was the only explanation.

However, Su Nuannuan didn't understand what was so special about the Chu family that made them worthy of being remembered.

Not to mention, Su Nuannuan suspects that Brother Chu might be involved in a key national research project, so his safety is a given. There's also the matter of Grandpa Ji's identity.

Even if the future remains turbulent, no one will dare to touch Grandpa Ji's family. After all, this is a meritorious deed that will be remembered in history. As long as they don't commit any major mistakes, Grandpa Ji will be treated like a mascot.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan really couldn't figure out why Uncle Chu had gone to such lengths.

Su Nuannuan shared her guess.

Then, she comforted Chu Mingzhou, saying...

“Mingzhou, don’t worry. Uncle Chu is a cautious person, and he’s probably just being overly concerned.”

Although Chu Mingzhou was still somewhat uneasy, he had taken Su Nuannuan's words to heart. He suppressed the matter and stopped thinking about it.

However, an event a few days later completely shattered the Chu family's peace.

Chu Wenzhu actually wants to divorce Ji Lan!
"What? Uncle Chu and Aunt Ji are getting a divorce?"

Su Nuannuan opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Seeing Chu Mingzhou's sadness and distress, Su Nuannuan quickly led him into her courtyard.

At this moment, Chu Mingzhou was no longer the aloof man he always was; he exuded a heartbreaking vulnerability that made his fiancée, Su Nuannuan, feel extremely distressed.

She poured a cup of hot water, handed it to Chu Mingzhou, and said...

“Mingzhou, have some water first, then tell me slowly.”

While Chu Mingzhou was drinking water, Su Nuannuan kept thinking about this.

Last time, she and Mingzhou were already certain that Uncle Chu must know something, which was why he sent his two sons, who had just graduated from university, away from Beijing.

However, their food was quite good. What exactly was Uncle Chu worried about?

Uncle Chu was among the first batch of university students in China, making him a highly accomplished intellectual with exceptional talent. Moreover, he is now a government official in Beijing, never taking a single penny from the people and doing many things that benefit the country and its people.

Needless to say, Aunt Ji's family is even more famous than anyone else's.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan still couldn't guess what Uncle Chu was worried about.

After thinking through everyone closely connected to the Chu family, Su Nuannuan still had no clue.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Su Nuannuan.

She thought of a key figure: Uncle Chu's ex-wife!

That's right! What Su Nuannuan definitely doesn't know right now is the background of Uncle Chu's ex-wife.

The other party had two sons with Uncle Chu, which has quite a lot to do with this.

If Uncle Chu's ex-wife has some extraordinary background, then Uncle Chu's actions would make sense.

After thinking about it, Su Nuannuan immediately went to Chu Mingzhou to confirm her guess.

"Mingzhou, do you know anything about Uncle Chu's ex-wife?"

Chu Mingzhou thought for a moment and then said.

“My eldest and second eldest brothers’ mother is from Gangcheng. My father married her when he was young, but they separated because of their differing views. My father hasn’t been in contact with her for more than ten years.”

Su Nuannuan swallowed and continued to ask.

Do you know where her parents are from?

Chu Mingzhou nodded and said.

“My older brother once said that his maternal grandfather was British and his maternal grandmother was Taiwanese. Later, his family settled in Hong Kong.”

It's over, it's over!
His background is far too complicated; he's already stepped on every landmine he could possibly have stepped on.

No wonder Uncle Chu wanted to cut ties with Aunt Ji's family so quickly. Judging from the situation, if they didn't, it would definitely implicate Aunt Ji.

Grandpa Ji might be fine, but Aunt Ji doesn't know.

Chu Mingzhou noticed Su Nuannuan's unpleasant expression and asked.

"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong?"

Su Nuannuan grasped Chu Mingzhou's hand and said earnestly.

“Mingzhou, Uncle Chu’s ex-wife’s identity is too complicated and could easily implicate Uncle Chu. Everything Uncle Chu is doing now is for your own good.”

Su Nuannuan didn't know how to explain it.

Before anything happened, Chu Mingzhou had no idea how terrifying his uncle's ex-wife's background was. Su Nuannuan couldn't describe it either.

All she could tell Chu Mingzhou was that everything Uncle Chu did was for the good of their family.

Chu Mingzhou was very clever and immediately understood Su Nuannuan's implied meaning.

His face was pale, and his brows were furrowed.

Nuannuan and her father's worries told Chu Mingzhou about the instability of the future.
