Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 420 Twins

Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Twins

Xiahou Xiu found out he had a twin brother when he was already eight years old.

That day, he remembered hearing it at his uncle’s house.

"The child is about to turn eight, when do you plan to take him back? Are you going to let him stay at the Chu Family forever?"

In the living room, his uncle and his mother were arguing again about something, with his uncle looking very angry.

So, he held his football and carefully hid outside.

Yet, he heard his mother start crying in the living room after being scolded by his uncle.

"How would I know? Maolin has always refused to give in. I asked him to go to the patriarch, but he’s too cowardly and doesn’t dare, what can I do?"

"What can you do?" Chu Fengcheng, upon hearing this, gave a cold laugh on the spot.

"What can you do, you say? That’s the child you gave birth to, abandoned for eight years already. Do you plan to never tell Xiahou Yi just because he has a heart condition? Is that how you act as parents?"

Chu Fengcheng scolded his sister harshly once again and left with a steely face.

Xiahou Xiu quickly ran away.

Soon after, he saw his mother come out with red-rimmed eyes and go in another direction.

Abandoned?

Heart disease?

That was the first time Xiahou Xiu heard such terms, so, bewildered, he stealthily followed his mother.

Then, that day, he finally met his twin brother.

Very much like him.

Only, because of his heart condition, Chu Yan, locked in the room, had a face so thin it was almost disfigured.

His skin was also very pale, with a hint of purplish color on his small lips.

"Yanyan, mommy’s here to see you. How have you been recently? Do you feel a bit better?"

Upon seeing her eldest son, Chu Feng’e immediately put away her emotions.

She forced a smile and came to her son’s bedside, tenderly wanting to touch Chu Yan’s small face.

"Don’t touch me!"

However, just as her hand was about to reach out, she was fiercely slapped away by the eight-year-old Chu Yan.

He glared at his mother with resentful eyes, and the fierce look on his little face made Xiahou Xiu, watching from outside, take a step back in fear.

"Why did you come to see me? I’ll be dead soon, you won’t have to worry anymore!"

Chu Yan hysterically screamed at Chu Feng’e in the room, a voice that Xiahou Xiu outside simply couldn’t believe came from someone his own age.

After that, Chu Feng’e left still sobbing tearfully.

Xiahou Xiu was also scared by this twin brother and wanted to leave.

But just as he was turning around, he heard a "thud" from behind him. When he looked back, he found his twin brother had already collapsed on the floor.

"Brother!"

The kind-hearted Xiahou Xiu, without considering his own fear, decisively entered that room.

Later that afternoon, Xiahou Xiu saved Chu Yan.

And when Chu Yan woke up and saw this brother he had never met before, he didn’t send him away.

It was from that time on that Xiahou Xiu often looked for excuses to visit his uncle’s house to see his brother, even thinking about whether he should tell the grandpa the truth one day.

But in the end, he never got the chance.

In his ninth year, as Chu Yan’s condition worsened at the Chu Family home in the capital and it was inconvenient to treat him there,

Xiahou Maolin decided on his own to secretly send Chu Yan back to the Chu Family’s ancestral home.

Which was the Provincial City of Jiangbei.

Fortunately, after Chu Yan had been sent there, his grandparents took great care of him. With the newfound freedom, his condition gradually improved, and his health was much better than it had been while living with Chu Fengcheng.

Therefore, his grandfather eventually sent him to school.

Xiahou Xiu would visit his brother every year during the holidays, aware that his brother still felt a sense of imbalance.

So, during every visit, he would stealthily bring his brother the gifts he had received or the best things from home.

Chu Yan always happily accepted them.

The turning point in the brothers’ fates came when Chu Yan went to university, but at that time, Xiahou Yi, although aware of having such twin grandsons, never mentioned letting him return to the capital due to his heart condition.

So, when Xiahou Xiu came to visit that year, Chu Yan suddenly suggested they secretly switched places. He longed to go home for a visit.

"Okay, bro, as long as you want to go back, nothing is a problem!"

Xiahou Xiu was kind-hearted. As soon as he heard his brother wanted to return, he agreed without a second thought.

Thus, Chu Yan ended up in the capital.

And Xiahou Xiu went to school under his brother’s name.

It just so happened that Yin Hehe had also been admitted to that university.

"Chu Senior, why are you here?"

The first time Xiahou Xiu met Yin Hehe was when she approached him to say hello.

At that time, she was carrying a faded canvas bag on her back and had a bottle of water in her hand, ready to head to the school library.

Xiahou Xiu paused for a moment.

Of course, he was lost...

"I... just came from over there, where are you going?" Xiahou Xiu was smart and guessed from the girl’s words that she might know his brother.

Therefore, he deliberately spoke with her in a familiar tone.

Without a hint of suspicion, he inquired about her destination, asking for directions on the way.

Yin Hehe didn’t pay much attention to these nuances; she honestly replied, "I’m going to the library. If Senior Chu doesn’t have other matters, I’ll go ahead."

After saying that, Yin Hehe prepared to leave.

Xiahou Xiu, without a second thought, followed her, "I’m also heading to the library; let’s go together."

Yin Hehe: "..."

Afterward, Yin Hehe didn’t say much.

At that time, she was experiencing the darkest period of her life. Her stepmother had married into the Yin family and was unwilling to pay for her education. She had managed to get some money from her brother Yin Beixiao to pay the tuition fees.

So, at that time, she was hustling every day to make ends meet.

When Yin Hehe arrived at the library, she started cleaning efficiently, to the surprise of Xiahou Xiu watching nearby.

"Aren’t you here to read books?"

"??" Yin Hehe lifted her clear, amber eyes, looking at the person in front of her with a flicker of confusion.

What was going on with this senior?

Wasn’t this job something he had helped her get?

But in the end, Yin Hehe explained, "This is my work time. If Senior Chu is going to read, then you better hurry."

Xiahou Xiu: "..."

So, this girl was here to work.

But how could that be? She looked clean and proper, and her demeanor did not resemble that of a girl from a troubled family.

Xiahou Xiu noticed this girl for the first time.

Lately, Xiahou Xiu started to visit Yin Hehe frequently. Sometimes it was to gather information about the school from her.

At other times, he just liked coming to see her.
