Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 953 - 954: Toxic Fatherly Love 86

Wu Hao also knew this wasn’t something to rush. As long as Wu Min gave birth to a boy, he wasn’t worried that Young Master Chu wouldn’t help.

Wu Min originally thought that after being admitted to the hospital, Young Master Chu would immediately come see her, proving that her position was special.

Unexpectedly, even up to the moment she gave birth, she didn’t see Young Master Chu at all.

Wu Min was upset, truly upset. Whenever other women were about to give birth, their husbands, no matter how busy, would immediately rush over.

But when she gave birth, standing outside the operating room, besides Wu Hao and Feng Min, there was no one else.

Even the child’s father didn’t show up. Even after she woke up, she didn’t see a single person from the Chu Family.

Wu Min really wanted to cry. She couldn’t understand why, when she had given birth to a son, the Chu Family acted as if they didn’t know.

"When the Chu Family sends someone over, I’ll make them pay!" Wu Min said viciously, determined not to let the Chu Family off easily unless they showed sincerity.

"Exactly, we’ll do just that." Wu Hao had originally thought not only Young Master Chu would come today, but perhaps other Chu Family members as well.

He could then discuss his matters properly with the Chu Family matriarch. But with no one from the Chu Family arriving, Wu Hao was really concerned—could his plans even succeed?

The Wu Family Three People thought that it was acceptable for no one to come on the day of childbirth, as long as someone came later.

However, to their surprise, even up to the day they were about to be discharged, neither Young Master Chu nor anyone from the Chu Family had appeared.

They suddenly panicked. "What now?" The hospital fees weren’t cheap, not to mention the expenses for the postpartum care center—this was all money.

While the three had some savings, they had been spending quite freely in recent days.

But they were reluctant to pay themselves. After all, it wasn’t a small sum, and since it was the Chu Family’s child, the Chu Family should naturally cover the costs.

"Call Young Master Chu immediately," Wu Hao told Wu Min to make the call.

Wu Min was furious. "Don’t tell me I haven’t called. I’ve called, I’ve sent messages, but no one has responded to me!"

"Unbelievable." Wu Min was fuming. "I’ve already given birth, and they still treat me like this. It’s outrageous, completely outrageous."

Wu Min, puffing with anger, picked up the phone and dialed Young Master Chu again. "Anyway, I’m out of money," she said firmly.

This time, the other party finally answered. Just as Wu Min was about to speak, she heard him say bluntly: "The nurse will arrange everything for you at the postpartum care center upstairs. Stay there for two months."

Upon hearing this, Wu Min couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. "What about the money?"

Young Master Chu scoffed coldly. "I’ve prepaid a hundred thousand. The expenses can’t go over this amount."

When Wu Min learned that he had prepaid a hundred thousand, she was instantly thrilled. "Thank you, Young Master Chu! You’re truly amazing."

After lavishing praise on Young Master Chu, Wu Min followed the nurse’s guidance and carried the baby to the postpartum care center upstairs.

Once inside, the first thing she did was pick a package. Confirming that the Chu Family had indeed prepaid a hundred thousand, Wu Min naturally chose a package costing over forty thousand.

This package could help restore her health, allowing her to quickly slim down. After leaving the postpartum center, she would, of course, want to stay by Young Master Chu’s side. She certainly couldn’t let women outside lure him away.

While Wu Min was busy recovering in the postpartum care center, the Chu Family was preoccupied handling other troubles. Lady Chu hadn’t expected her youngest son to lose his head over a woman, even going so far as to severely injure her.

If it were an ordinary family’s daughter, Lady Chu wouldn’t have been concerned; money could easily suppress the issue.

But this time, they hit a brick wall—the girl’s family wasn’t lacking in resources, and they didn’t want money. They wanted Young Master Chu behind bars.

No matter how much Lady Chu disliked this son, he was still her child.

How could she stand by and watch her son get into trouble? She negotiated, offered money, but no amount seemed enough.

This made things very difficult. The girl’s family was ruthless, even going after the Chu Family’s business interests.

In the business world, the Chu Family naturally had competitors. Upon hearing that someone was targeting them, these rivals wasted no time in taking advantage and piling on.

As a result, chaos reigned within the Chu Family. Young Master Chu couldn’t leave, and the previously planned discussions about custody of Wu Min’s child were, of course, put on hold.

Zhang Yu, being a gossip enthusiast, was quick to catch wind of the situation. Especially after learning that Young Master Chu—the guilty party in this affair—was also the father of Wu Min’s baby.

Naturally, Zhang Yu had to keep following the drama to see how things played out. The Chu Family was powerful, but the girl’s family wasn’t weak either.

More importantly, the Chu Family’s domineering business practices, always vying for control and taking the lion’s share, had rubbed many people the wrong way.

Over time, dissatisfaction had simmered under the surface. Competitors had merely tolerated it because of the Chu Family’s strength.

Now that someone wouldn’t spare any cost to suppress the Chu Family, others weren’t about to miss such a golden opportunity—they all jumped in.

Initially, Lady Chu had dismissed the girl’s family as a newly-rich upstart, unworthy of any concern.

But she hadn’t expected this cascade of countless repercussions, which took her completely by surprise.

The Chu Family’s business was in full crisis. Many of their customers were poached, and several orders couldn’t be delivered on time due to supply chain issues. Massive compensation was paid, and their reputation was severely damaged.

Although Zhang Yu didn’t know the exact financial losses, Lady Chu’s displeased expression made it clear that the damages were significant.

Furthermore, Zhang Yu realized that while the Chu Family might have been willing to generously take custody of the child from Wu Min under normal circumstances, the business troubles now made any financial support unlikely.

Speaking of the child, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered that he hadn’t even asked if Wu Min had given birth yet.

After some inquiries, he learned that Wu Min’s baby had already been born and that she was now recovering in the postpartum care center.

Zhang Yu was really curious about how Wu Min would feel knowing what Young Master Chu had been up to while she was recovering.

Wu Min had already heard about it. Don’t ask how someone busy recovering in a postpartum center could find out—she simply had good connections, and someone had told her.

Wu Min thanked the informer but couldn’t hide her displeasure. She knew Young Master Chu was truly incorrigible, always rushing after women he fancied.

Now look—he’d caused trouble, and big trouble at that. The Chu Family suffered great losses, and just thinking about it, Wu Min couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

When Wu Hao and the others found out, they were also very unhappy. Of course, their anger wasn’t directed at Young Master Chu’s unfaithfulness—after all, he was about to become a father yet still played around outside.

Their focus was entirely on how to recover these losses. After all, the child’s future inheritance was at stake, and they couldn’t afford not to care.

Among their acquaintance network, they knew few wealthy individuals, and the only one they could turn to was Zhang Yu.

Wu Hao was well aware of the hopeful glances that Feng Min and her daughter were sending his way, wanting him to approach Zhang Yu.

"I’m not going to her," Wu Hao said emphatically, knowing full well he wouldn’t gain anything good from dealing with Zhang Yu.
