Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

Zhou Xu was watching the show from the side when a group of minions started making noises.

“Oh, they say that rich people don’t have a father-son relationship, it’s really cruel. They have several mistresses, and can have as many sons and daughters as they want. Do they still care about one or two of them?”

“I heard that Boss Chu was the same with us in the beginning. Just from small family, but he was quite lucky and marries a good wife, he then rises to success and have a bright future.”

“So, if you have the ability, it is better to marry a good wife, right?”

“Yes, hahaha!”

“Look at me. I’m not bad looking either. Maybe some rich girl will fall in love with me.”

“Fuck you – do you think with just face you could secure that? Do you understand that you need to be able to coax your wife to get a wife?”

.

Chu Muxi cried with tears all over his face, looking pitiful and fragile. His whole body was shaking, and he kept chanting: “No, father, no way. You are not like this, father. Grandpa is so good to you.”

“What do you know!” After being stimulated by the pirate’s ridicule, and Chu Tianhao yelled: “I’m only relying on myself, what about them? A petite rich girl, and an old man with only a few pennies left. Everything in the Chu family now is earned by myself! I just lack a better background than them! I married her then she should be grateful, it is her blessing! I climbed to where I am today, all It’s all on my own efforts!”

“Oh? But how did I hear that Boss Chu, your first investment in starting a business was using your wife’s dowry. At the beginning, you encountered obstacles everywhere and made major mistakes in several investments. It was your father-in-law who is cleaning up the mess for you from behind. Tsk tsk, Boss Chu, you can’t be too ungrateful. You might as well be pirates like us,” Zhou Xu said sarcastically.

“You—” Chu Tianhao choked, and then said with a sullen face, “So what, they all volunteered.”

Chu Muxi burst into tears, as if he couldn’t believe that this was the person he had always admired and loved, how could he treat his mother and grandfather like this.

Chu Tianhao tugged on his tie impatiently, “Okay, that’s it. I’ll contact you later after I’ve discussed it with the superiors.”

“Hey, Boss Chu, we don’t have time to eat and drink well. How could we entertain the young master?”

“He—” Chu Tianhao glanced coldly at Chu Muxi, who was lying on the ground, “Do whatever you want, don’t use him to threaten me.”

Zhou Xu clapped, “That’s right. That’s great. As expected of you, Boss Chu. You are indeed a model of ruthlessness and discharging your own relatives.”

Chu Tianhao was about to hang up the phone when he heard this and frowned, “Please pay attention to what you say—”

“It’s a pity, I don’t know about our central government. Will the broad masses of the people in the Central Star understand Boss Chu’s thinking?” Zhou Xu smiled.

Chu Tianhao’s heart sank suddenly, as if he thought of something, the communication device in his hand suddenly rang.

Only then did he realize that his communication device had not sounded for a long time.

Chu Tianhao had a bad feeling in his heart, and he didn’t care about it in front of Zhou Xu. He picked up the communication device and heard a panicked voice over there.

“Boss! Boss! The conversation between you and the pirate group was broadcast in real time to the Central Star’s sky screen! Everyone saw it! Now the picket team has sent people to arrest you!”

Chu Tianhao’s face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly turned back to look at the big screen and shouted, “You—you did it!”

Zhou Xu spread his hands, “Boss Chu, our meeting is indefinite.” Zhou Xu waved his hand and hung up the communicator.

.

Chu Muxi was stunned, and Taha quickly let go of his hand. He wanted to help but didn’t dare to, so he stood there hesitantly.

Then Lu Junzhi came over, grabbed Chu Muxi’s hand, and pulled him up from the ground.

Lu Junzhi glanced at Taha indifferently. Taha immediately tensed up, quickly saluted, turned around, and ran out.

Chu Muxi seemed to have lost all strength, leaning softly on Lu Junzhi’s shoulder.

“Uncomfortable?” Lu Junzhi asked.

Chu Muxi shook his head gently, “What happened just now?”

Lu Junzhi had mentioned having a plan before, but Chu Muxi only knew the first half, not the second.

“I’m sorry for not telling you in advance.” Lu Junzhi carried him to a chair and sat down. He knelt in front of him, raising his hand to wipe the tears from Chu Muxi’s eyes. “Chu Tianhao really can’t be kept.”

Chu Muxi closed his eyes. His tears were not from sadness but from the strain of acting, yet now he couldn’t hold them back and they kept falling.

Perhaps it was because he remembered his tragic death in his previous life, how Chu Tianhao had abandoned him, and how he was subsequently killed by Chu Mubei and the others.

Lying alone on the cold floor, he had even imagined that Chu Tianhao would suddenly appear and rescue him.

He had once aspired to be a good son, but Chu Tianhao never saw him as his own son.

In his eyes, anyone could be used as long as they brought benefits.

“He values fame and wealth above all else,” Chu Muxi said hoarsely, lowering his head.

What Chu Tianhao cared about most in his life was his fame, wealth, and reputation. Faced with those stronger than him, he would grovel and flatter, and deepening the hatred in his heart.

Therefore, he harbored extreme resentment towards those people and would show his dominance in front of those weaker than him, tolerating no dissent.

Despite holding the title of Madam Chu, He Hui had to kneel and serve him at home every day. Everything had to be done according to his arrangements.

Chu Mubei and Chu Lulu appeared to be the eldest young master and young lady in the family, but their lives were entirely dictated by his mood.

Chu Tianhao only loved himself. What he gave to others was only what he allowed, and others were expected to be grateful to him.

For him, losing face, reputation, and wealth was a fate worse than death.

.

“That’s good,” Chu Muxi forced a smile and said sarcastically. “Isn’t that what he cares about? Whatever he values, we’ll take it away. The best way to make someone who climbed from low to high miserable is to make them fall heavily and lose everything again.”

“Well, whatever you want, let’s do it,” Lu Junzhi hugged him and kissed his hair. “Rest now, okay?”

Chu Muxi buried his head in his neck, “Okay.”

Lu Junzhi picked him up and walked to the lounge in the starship.

The subordinates they met along the way were all dumbfounded at this scene. Lu Junzhi walked forward without paying them much attention.

However, one by one, the subordinates became a little embarrassed and turned their backs.

They muttered quietly, “This is our boss?”

“Yes, this is our boss.”

“I remember when the military doctor first came here, he wanted to secretly touch the boss’s hand, but the boss broke it before he even got close.”

“Don’t mention it. Now the military doctor still brings it up from time to time and scolds the boss for being cold-blooded and heartless.”

“Who dares to touch the boss? At that time, some aristocratic lady said she liked the boss, but he didn’t even say anything, and the boss just looked at her coldly. One look from him scared her to tears.”

“Obviously, the boss is handsome and charming, but he’s just a bit unapproachable.”

“Ahem.” Zhou Xu came back at some point, “Work, stop gossiping.”

.

Chu Muxi grabbed Lu Junzhi’s uniform collar, “You, put me down and I’ll go by myself.”

“You can’t.”

“What?” Chu Muxi looked confused.

“Your legs are numb and you can’t walk.” Lu Junzhi confidently hugged him tighter.

Chu Muxi: ‘…I clearly misjudged you.’

Note: lol, I love their story, it’s so light with a hint of sweetness
