CHAPTER 671: CHAPTER 163: GOSSIP WOMEN LOVE

A woman’s youthful beauty is but a fleeting moment, withered flowers and white bones, all just a matter of a decade.

Only status and absolute power can ensure Chu Yu’s position in Sky Wing City remains unshakable as Mount Tai.

"Yuyu, I know you’re unwilling. But the City Lord has already issued the command, what can you do? My poor child, it’s all Mother’s fault..." Manager Chu did not wish to delay her daughter’s lifelong happiness either.

But what could she do? Leaving Sky Wing City would require passing through the city gates, and even within a hundred miles, escape was impossible.

Chu Yu had her own concerns too; she had grown up in Sky Wing City, relying solely on her mother for survival. Even if she could leave, how would she survive afterward?

Would she have to evade Sky Wing City’s pursuit for the rest of her life?

At this moment, the hearts of both mother and daughter Chu Yu were in turmoil.

Tian Yitu, that flamboyant young master, had already been spreading word throughout the city that Chu Yu was his woman, following his father’s approval.

Thinking of this, Manager Chu was deeply troubled.

After all, Chu Yu was a woman, and her reputation was of utmost importance. Tian Yitu’s actions were equivalent to forcing Chu Yu into a corner.

Even if this marriage did not take place, it would be very difficult for Chu Yu to find a desirable match in the future.

"Yun Sheng, I don’t want to marry Tian Yitu, but my mother and I have no other option," Chu Yu hated the fact that she was born a daughter; if it weren’t for being a woman, how would she...

"If you don’t want to marry, then don’t marry," Yun Sheng looked at the mother and daughter whose eyes were swollen from crying.

"Easier said than done..." Chu Yu shook her head.

"Doing it is even easier. It only takes a simple method. But before that, I need to ask Manager Chu a very personal question," Yun Sheng coughed slightly.

Manager Chu was her elder, and Yun Sheng felt somewhat embarrassed to ask that question.

"Miss Yun, please ask away. As long as it can help Yuyu escape the clutches of that beast Tian Yitu, even if I have to die, I am willing," Manager Chu eagerly inquired.

"Why talk of death so gravely? This question is actually quite simple: did you have an affair with the Lord of Tianyu City back in the day?" As soon as Yun Sheng asked, the mother and daughter from the Chu Family were taken aback.

Especially Chu Yu, who had no idea why Yun Sheng would ask such a question.

Manager Chu’s face flushed so much it seemed she might bleed.

In her heart, she murmured, how could this child speak so boldly.

"Yun Sheng, my mother has always maintained only a host-guest relationship with the City Lord, how could it be that..." Seeing her mother flush with apparent anger, Chu Yu thought she was enraged and quickly jumped to her defense.

"Manager Chu, you should think carefully. The answer to this question is directly related to Sister Chu Yu’s lifelong happiness," Yun Sheng had no qualms about it; she was a doctor and there were no questions she hadn’t asked.

Seeing that Manager Chu did not answer, Yun Sheng asked again, "Manager Chu, tell me, did you have a relationship that went beyond master and servant with the Sky Wing City Lord? Such as a romantic relationship?"

Even Donghuang Lingling was getting anxious, "Manager Chu, just answer the question. This is about Chu Yu’s happiness!"

"You all... sigh, I indeed had an affair with the Sky Wing City Lord back in those days, and he was also my first man," Manager Chu said, her face turning extremely red.

Chu Yu was dumbfounded; she had never heard from her mother about her past romance with the City Lord.

Yun Sheng remembered that Chu Yu once mentioned that her father was a guard in the City Lord Mansion and had died not long after she was born.

Yun Sheng had long suspected that just by looking at Sister Chu Yu’s features, one could tell that Manager Chu must have been a devastating beauty in her youth.

Manager Chu, even now, remains a charming and attractive middle-aged woman.

A woman who, since her teens, has been accompanying the Sky Wing City Lord, and both of them were youthful and upright back then—how could there not have been sparks flying between them.

So, Yun Sheng firmly believed that Manager Chu must have had an ambiguous relationship with the Sky Wing City Lord, and her questioning today proved it to be true.

A beautiful woman of marriageable age, widowed not long ago, with a brave and powerful City Lord by her side...

What followed, Yun Sheng did not need to think much to fantasize extensively.

"Mother, ah, Yun Sheng, what happened today is my own issue, you don’t need to ask any more," Chu Yu saw her mother distressed and stomped her foot, trying to stop Yun Sheng from asking further.

"So, Manager Chu, how long did you two maintain your relationship?" Yun Sheng continued to ask.

Manager Chu felt like dying; discussing such unchaste matters in front of her own daughter.

But thinking that this matter might really affect her daughter’s happiness, Manager Chu endured the shame and annoyance, "It never ended."

It never ended?! Yun Sheng was thunderstruck, and it goes without saying for Chu Yu.

What did ’never ended’ mean?

Did it mean that it had been continuous from that time until now?

"Mother, how could you do this to dad!" Chu Yu was also furious. She had never expected her mother to be such an unfaithful person.

"I... ah, my child, this matter is a long story. The City Lord and I are not what you think; we truly loved each other. As for your father, he also acknowledged this matter," Manager Chu sighed.

Her love story with the Sky Wing City Lord, when talking about it, had some similarities with the Emperor Hong City Lord and Lady Rou.

Only, the Sky Wing City Lord was not Yuan Sitian; he and Manager Chu knew each other when both were just seventeen or eighteen years old.

Manager Chu was highly capable, and at that time, the Sky Wing City Lord had just established Sky Wing City and needed someone to help manage affairs.

Back then, he already had two wives, and Manager Chu was unwilling to become a concubine, but she was also unable to let go of her feelings for the Sky Wing City Lord.

The two maintained a respectful relationship until one day, during a training mishap by the Sky Wing City Lord, to save him, Manager Chu had relations with him.

It was then that the two of them confirmed their relationship.

This matter, somehow, came to the knowledge of the Madam of Tianyi City, and she seized the opportunity when the Sky Wing City Lord was away to force Manager Chu into marrying a guard.

Upon his return, the Sky Wing City Lord was furious, nearly killing that guard.

It was only after Manager Chu pleaded on behalf of the guard that his life was spared. However, that guard later suffered a severe injury in an accident and passed away not long after.

By that time, Manager Chu had already given birth to Chu Yu, and after her daughter was born, she continued to have relations with the Sky Wing City Lord from time to time.

Now, with both of the City Lord’s wives having passed away, the affection between Manager Chu and the Sky Wing City Lord continued.

However, since their children had grown up, and Manager Chu was a person of thin skin, their relationship was established only on a spiritual level.

After hearing her mother recount the whole story, Chu Yu fell silent, and Yun Sheng was also touched.

This couple, too, were tormented lovers.
