Chapter 87: Menopause

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing pushed open the door. His father had already prepared a table full of dishes and was waiting for him.

“Why did you come back so late? How many times have I told you to come home on time after school? Don’t you know? Did you go shopping with that classmate again? Can you…” Before Chu Qing could put down his bag, his father started nagging.

Chu Qing looked around, trying to find a shield like Chu Xiao. Unfortunately, Chu Xiao was not around. However, this was not a problem for Chu Qing. He tried to divert the trouble and asked, “Dad, where’s Sis?”

His father was stunned. “I don’t know where your Sis has gone to fool around. She really makes me worry. Sigh. Brat, I’m talking about you. Don’t change the topic. When your Sis comes back, I’ll talk to her…”

Chu Qing covered his ears and entered the room. He could not afford to offend his father who was going through menopause.

His father clearly didn’t want to let Chu Qing off just like that. He followed Chu Qing into the room. Chu Qing could only surrender and casually give an excuse. “I’ve joined the school’s basketball team. I had training in the afternoon.” “What?” His father was surprised. “Who are you kidding? A boy can join the basketball team?”

“It’s true. The school has formed a men’s basketball team. If not, you can call our form teacher,” Chu Qing explained.

As soon as he said this, his father was already 70 to 80% convinced. But a new question came. “Why did you join the basketball team? Studying hard is the most important thing. In the future, you must get into a good university and find a good in-law. Your mother and I…”

Chu Qing had a splitting headache. He stammered and replied with a lot of good words before he managed to fool this matter. He thought that it was over, but who knew that this was only the beginning.

“Where did you go after the gathering last night? Why didn’t you go home? Were there any male classmates at the gathering? Did you drink?” His questions were like a rapid firecracker.

Chu Qing was stunned. He blinked and didn’t know how to answer. Fortunately, his mother came home from work, diverting his father’s attention.

His mother looked depressed and tired. It seemed that things in the company were not going well. Logically speaking, with Ye Chenxi’s help, there should be no problem with the company. What was going on? Chu Qing could not figure it out in a short time.

It seemed like he had to find an opportunity to ask his mother. It was time to eat, but Chu Xiao didn’t come back, and no one asked. Chu Qing was envious. If he hadn’t returned home at this time, his phone would probably have exploded with calls.

At the dining table, his father’s questions had decreased a lot, but he kept harping on one thing. “You said that you went to your classmate’s house after the gathering last night. Was it a male or female classmate?”

Chu Qing was annoyed. As he ate, he said vaguely, “So what if it’s a male classmate or a female classmate?”

When his father heard this, he slammed the table and stood up, yelling, “From your tone, you went to the female classmate’s house. How can you act like this? How many times have I told you…”

“Let’s eat first.” Chu Qing’s mother couldn’t stand it anymore.

Only then did Chu Qing escape. However, after that, his father’s resentful gaze made his hair stand on end. He hurriedly finished his meal and hid in his room. Chu Qing was bored as he did his homework. He guessed that his father must be discussing his matters with his mother at this time. As expected, half an hour later, the door was pushed open. His mother stuck her head in and said with a smile, “Little Qing, I see you’re doing your homework.”

“Yes,” Chu Qing replied with a smile.

“Can we talk?” She asked for Chu Qing’s opinion.

Chu Qing nodded and got a glass of water for his mother. At the same time, he made himself a cup of coffee. His mother was not used to drinking it, but Chu Qing had never tasted it in the cultivation world for 3,000 years. He missed it.

“Don’t complain that your father is nagging. He’s just concerned about you.” His mother took the water from Chu Qing’s hand. She was gratified to see that her son was so sensible.

“I know.”

“Sigh, he wasn’t like this when he was young. He’s probably going through menopause. It’s good that you can understand. Sometimes, even I’m a little afraid of him,” She said helplessly, but her eyes were filled with blessings. It could be seen that her parents were very loving, and Chu Qing was in a good mood.

“Did you go to a female classmate’s house last night? Do you have someone you like?”

“Oh, hehe…” Chu Qing smiled in tacit agreement.

“Sigh.” After his mother heard this, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sighed. “Is she from the Ye family?”

Chu Qing scratched his head and replied, “I guess so!”

His mother was puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”

Chu Qing chose not to provide a direct response to the question, but deep down, he already had an answer. In his heart, he believed that a gentleman was well-suited to an elegant lady. Who said that he could only have feelings for one woman? He appreciated Chen Huahua’s carefree nature, admired Tang Ziyan’s commanding presence, and found Ye Chenxi to be appealing as well.

Since Chu Qing didn’t say anything, his mother didn’t ask further. She changed the topic and continued, “Recently, the Ye family has helped our company because of you, right?”

She was right about this. Chu Qing nodded and admitted..
