Chapter 152

Chu Manor.

“Fiancée!”

Matriarch Chu’s eyes brightened as she looked at Chu Cichen. Yun Zhengyang had been dischargedand was preparing to return to Ford City. Hence, Matriarch Chu had spent the whole of yesterdayaccompanying him and her younger sister. In fact, she had stayed with them last night and didn’t comehome.

Today when she returned, she immediately heard about the conversation Chu Cichen had had withthose shareholders. She was extremely excited. Right now, she stared at Chu Cichen, who was eatinghis breakfast, and she asked, “Is what you said real?”

“Hmm.”

Chu Cichen calmly grunted in response.

Matriarch Chu lifted her fingers and started counting. “Should our family start organizing anengagement banquet? However, our company is still facing trouble, so we have no choice but to delaythis engagement by a little or the atmosphere wouldn’t be joyous. But even so, we have to announcethis news! At the very least, we have to let those old fogies in the company know that they cannotcasually bully my daughter-in-law in the future!”

After saying that, she looked at Shen Ruojing. “Jingjing, we have to temporarily let you down then.”

Yesterday, Shen Ruojing had said that she didn’t agree, but this man had actually gone to tell everyonethat she was his fiancée.

Chu Cichen’s expression was calm and he was looking at her from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Ruojing then cast a glance at Chu Cichen.

For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

This woman had rejected him yesterday, so he had no idea whether she would agree now… He thensaw Shen Ruojing looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. She said, “No problem.”

Hearing this, Chu Cichen quietly sighed.

At this moment, Chu Cimo, whom Matriarch Chu forbade to go out, suddenly spoke, “Bro, I thought youhated eating celery?”

As he said this, everyone turned to look at Chu Cichen only to discover that he was in a daze andaccidentally added a few stalks of celery into his bowl…

1

Seeing that everyone at the dining table was looking at him, Chu Cichen expressionlessly passed allthe celery stalks to Chu Cimo. “Oh, I was taking them for you.”

2

Chu Cichen. “…”

Chu Cimo. “?”

He started. “I also don’t like to eat this!”

1

Chu Cichen quietly looked at him, so Chu Cimo could only lower his head. “Oh, I forgot that I actuallylike eating celery.”

“Eh? Uncle, you like celery? You should eat more then!”

Chu Tianye immediately ‘helped’ him by passing more stalks of celery to him.

Chu Xiaomeng, who was at the side, stared at Chu Tianye dumbfoundedly. “Bro, why are you soenthusiastic about this?”

“Of course!” Chu Tianye glanced at Chu Cimo. “I already said that uncle is the most precious VIP in ourhouse, so we definitely have to give him top-tier service!”

1

“Oh.” Chu Xiaomeng also took the chance to pass a stalk of celery to Chu Cimo.

1

Chu Cimo, who hated the smell of celery and had never eaten it before, was completely speechless.

1

Why was he always the one to get hurt?!

Matriarch Chu looked at her second son and continued, “Oh right, when will you fetch Xiaoqi here?”

Since Xiaoqi was a child of the Chu Family, they ought to fetch her back.

Chu Cimo sighed. “Right now, our family is facing so many troubles. Let’s talk again after things aresettled!”

“Alright then.”

They then finished breakfast. Chu Tianye and Chu Yu carried their bags and went out, while ShenRuojing led Chu Xiaomeng to the study.

As they were leaving, Shen Ruojing calmly said, “You have to write five pages of words today.”

“Ah?” Chu Xiaomeng cocked her tiny head and had a look of loathing on her face. “Not two?”

“Your words are too ugly.”

“…”

The two of them headed up to practice writing and only came down for lunch at noon.

Right now, Chu Xiaomeng had a blank look in her eyes as though she had been ‘tortured’ the entiremorning.

1

Shen Ruojing silently sighed. “How can your writing get uglier with time?”

Chu Xiaomeng lowered her head and didn’t answer.

Chu Cichen had just returned from the company. When he saw the sullen look on Chu Xiaomeng’sface, he couldn’t help but feel heartache. “She is still young and will do better when she’s older.”

“If she doesn’t practice properly, she won’t be able to write well even if she understands the words,”rebutted Shen Ruojing unhappily.

She had accompanied Chu Xiaomeng the entire morning, and this fellow was trying to waste her effortthe moment he came back?

Chu Cichen couldn’t bear to see Chu Xiaomeng sad, so he said, “She is still young!”

“If one doesn’t work hard when they are young, they will only feel sorrow when they grow old. ChuCichen, don’t tell me you don’t understand this logic?” Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes glared athim, and she felt even angrier.

Matriarch Chu was sitting on the sofa and staring at the two of them with excitement.

The butler asked, “Matriarch, they are on the verge of quarreling. Are you not going to persuade them?”

Matriarch Chu was actually happy. “Don’t you feel that their relationship would improve if they quarrel?This is the correct way. In the past, they kept addressing each other as Miss Shen and Mr. Chu. It feltso awkward as it was too polite.”

Chu Cichen felt that the current appearance of Shen Ruojing was very adorable.

Usually, she always appeared cool and calm and showed no anger.

At this moment, Chu Cichen curled his lips, and a hint of gentleness, which even he was not aware of,appeared in his voice. “Hmm, you are correct. I was mistaken.”

After that, he looked at Chu Xiaomeng. “When at home, you have to listen to your mommy properly,okay?”

“Okay.” Chu Xiaomeng was originally hoping that her daddy could back her up. Now, she discoveredthat this was basically impossible.

“Hen-pecked.”

Chu Xiaomeng silently muttered.

Chu Cichen. “?”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

The two of them then glanced at each other, and the sparks from earlier instantly vanished.

Chu Cichen retracted his gaze and no longer dared to look at her.

However, Shen Ruojing’s lips parted in a smile.

At this moment, a figure abruptly dashed into the living lounge. “Bro Chen, it’s over! Dugu Xiao’scondition worsens, and Sister Fang is being imprisoned in Dugu Xiao’s villa!”

Lu Cheng was very anxious. He ran all the way in.

Chu Cichen calmly looked at him.

Lu Cheng panted and continued, “How many people do you think we should organize to save her?”

Chu Cichen didn’t say anything.

Shen Ruojing added, “She merely reaped the fruits of her own actions.”

2

Fang Panxia was asking for this. Although the calming pill was for sale on the market, the instructionsfor usage were written very clearly. Since that was the case, Fang Panxia was just recklesslyadministering the wrong medicine for the wrong condition.

Although Shen Ruojing’s voice was soft, Chu Cichen and Lu Cheng heard her clearly. Lu Chengdirectly exploded from anger. “Shen Ruojing, what did you say?!”

His expression turned solemn.

Lu Cheng, who was wearing a floral-print shirt, had been looking down at Shen Ruojing at the start.However, after learning that she was Anonymous, recently, his attitude toward her had sincerely grownmore respectful somewhat.

But Shen Ruojing’s words were too over the top just now.

He angrily spoke, “Sister Fang was doing this for Bro Chen’s sake…and for the sake of the ChuCorporation. This was why she went alone to Dugu Xiao’s place. How can you rejoice in hermisfortune?! Shen Ruojing, I know both of you don’t like each other, but how can you cast stones at herwhen she’s down?!”

This was too much!

Matriarch Chu also walked over. She had never liked Fang Panxia, but she wasn’t able to say wordssuch as Fang Panxia reaping the fruit of her own actions. She only said, “Her medical skills areinadequate in the first place, so she shouldn’t have done what she did. However… since she did it forthe sake of the Chu Family, Jingjing’s words are indeed a bit inappropriate.”

As for Chu Cichen, he didn’t say anything and merely looked at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing sighed. “I’ll make a trip down then.”

When Lu Cheng heard her words, his tone softened. “What’s the point of you going? If you usedyourself to exchange for her, we would have to save you too. At this time…it’s best not to cause morechaos…”

However, as the sound of his voice faded, Chu Cichen frowned and finally spoke, “In that case, LuCheng shall accompany you.”
