128: Chapter 128 Jiang Chen is insane?

"Uncle, you… you seem to have ordered too many dishes?"

Looking at the variety of delicacies on the table, all of which she had never seen before, she, who had been frugal since childhood, did not immediately wolf them down. Instead, she subconsciously felt it was a waste.

Even Su Mingyue was dumbfounded.

Before her family fell on hard times, Su Mingyue had been the eldest daughter of the Su family, living in luxury since childhood, but she had never seen anything so extravagant.

This table of food must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Is the life of the wealthy always this extravagant?

"It's naturally not this extravagant on ordinary days. It's just that I made a mistake yesterday, so I thought I'd use these delicacies to stuff our Linger's mouth and ask for her forgiveness."

"This is Uncle Chu's good intention, so Linger should eat more to nourish her body."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan moved a plate of delicacies in front of Ye Linger.

Since Chu Yuan had put it that way, Ye Linger naturally stopped being reserved; she picked up her chopsticks and began to feast.

"Delicious."

"It's really delicious."

Transforming into a little foodie, Ye Linger completely let herself go, fearing only that her stomach was too small to hold all the food in front of her.

Watching her daughter act like a completely different person, crystal-clear tears streamed down Su Mingyue's cheeks. Over the years, Ye Linger had suffered quite a few grievances while with her.

Ten years ago, the Ye family suffered a sudden disaster, and the family members were assassinated. Except for Ye Yun and her family of three who escaped, the rest died in the turmoil.

In the chaos, Ye Yun also lost contact with the mother and daughter.

She raised the child alone through all kinds of hardships, while Ye Yun had completely vanished without a trace.

Ten full years had passed; either Ye Yun had been killed, or there was some other reason he had completely forgotten about them.

"Mom, the food here is so delicious. I've never eaten anything this good in my life. You should hurry up and try it too."

Ye Linger was a precocious girl and had long understood that it wasn't easy for her mother, Su Mingyue, to raise her alone.

Now that there was good food, the first thing she thought of was sharing it with her mom.

As for the heartless man who abandoned their mother and daughter, Ye Linger had no affection for him, only boundless hatred.

If he were already dead, she might have let go of her obsession and burned some paper money for him every Qingming Festival.

Su Mingyue took what her daughter handed her, subconsciously glanced at Chu Yuan, and looked very embarrassed.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to notice her embarrassment just now.

Su Mingyue wiped the tears from her eyes and regained her composure.

"Uncle Chu, thank you for treating Mom and me to such a big meal."

Ye Linger feasted, feeling infinite gratitude towards Chu Yuan in her heart.

"Ding! Due to the host's flashy operation, Protagonist Ye Yun's daughter, Ye Linger, is moved to tears of gratitude towards the host. The host gains 3000 villain points."

After putting in so much, there was finally the first wave of returns.

However, the term "flashy operation" from the system made Chu Yuan unhappy.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan was magnanimous and forgave the system this once.

Ye Linger's tears of gratitude.

However, what Chu Yuan wanted was not Ye Linger's gratitude.

The timing was not yet ripe, so Chu Yuan did not reveal any ambition; even his gaze towards Ye Linger showed no flaws.

After breakfast, both host and guest were happy.

Wiping his mouth, just as Chu Yuan was about to say something, a phone call came in.

It was Zhang Zhigang, the director of Qingshan Mental Hospital. As for why he was looking for Chu Yuan, it was still about Jiang Chen.

"Young Master Chu, after several consecutive days of treatment, Jiang Chen's condition has not only failed to improve but has actually worsened."

"Starting from this morning, he has been acting a bit insane."

"At first, we thought he was just pretending to be crazy, but then that kid actually picked up a live wire and was almost electrocuted to death."

"Now, whenever he meets someone, he says he is the Howling Celestial Dog under Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and he is even barking like a dog."

Zhang Zhigang quickly recounted the situation regarding Jiang Chen in great detail.

"Jiang Chen has gone mad?"

Hearing this news suddenly, Chu Yuan was somewhat stunned.

Locking Jiang Chen in a Mental Hospital wasn't really meant to turn him into a mental patient.

Even if he really had that intention, it wasn't the time yet.

Bullying a mental patient with no independent thought was not Chu Yuan's usual style of doing things.

On second thought, if he really drove Jiang Chen crazy, the system would surely give a notification and reward him.

The reason a Protagonist is called a Protagonist is not only because of their destiny, but also because of their greatest trait: the resilience of a cockroach that cannot be killed.

How could a few measly treatment methods possibly turn Jiang Chen into a mental patient?

Then there was only one explanation.

Jiang Chen was pretending to be crazy, intending to paralyze him and escape his control.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't know that he also had a system, and he was fully prepared against him.

Wanting to escape his clutches was nothing more than a daydream.

Even taking a step back, if Jiang Chen really became a mental patient, he would have absolutely no utility value to Chu Yuan.

For such a piece of trash, other than death, he would have no other way out.

Only for people with value would Chu Yuan not mind keeping them around for a while longer.

After all, this big fat sheep still had utility value, and Chu Yuan couldn't bear to slaughter the sheep just like that.

"Is this guy trying to play dumb and endure humiliation, waiting for a chance to fight back?"

"This Young Master likes this kind of Protagonist, indomitable and unkillable."

Chu Yuan curled his lips and planned to go meet this old friend.

As for the mother and daughter in front of him.

"You two are full, right?"

Restraining his thoughts, Chu Yuan still wore a faint smile, with not a hint of malice in his eyes.

"Uh, I… I'm full."

Ye Linger stroked her slightly protruding little belly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

It was her first time eating so many delicious things, and as a foodie, she realized in retrospect that she had lost her manners in front of Chu Yuan.

"Young Master Chu, thank you for your hospitality. Linger is no longer in any serious trouble, so we…"

Before Su Mingyue could finish, Chu Yuan interrupted directly: "There is no need to say anything. Linger was injured because I hit her, so before she is fully recovered, I will not let her leave."

"If Ms. Su is worried, you can stay at the villa to take care of Linger. I will compensate you for all your lost wages and losses."

"Young Master Chu, listen to me…"

"This matter is happily decided then. This Young Master has important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."

Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered to keep using the soft approach, so he just kept Su Mingyue at the villa.

Always believing that feelings grow with time, he only used such a subtle approach this time because they were the Protagonist's wife and daughter.
