Kapitel 2: Chapter 2
"..."
An eerie silence suddenly fell over the scene.
Everyone looked towards Chu Tianye in astonishment.
The little guy was exquisitely beautiful, his large, upward-tilted phoenix eyes were nearly identical to those of the young masters of the Chus.
Could it be that this child was truly of the Chu bloodline?
Lin Wanru had not noticed this child until now, but at this moment, her gaze landed on Chu Tianye's face.
The next moment, she clenched her fists tightly.
The others hadn't seen Chu Yanshen, so they didn't realize that the child bore a striking, almost five or six points resemblance to him!
Shen Ruotong appeared clearly confused as well, "Shen Bijun, what do you mean by this? Could this little bastard... This child's father is either Master Cimo or Master Ciyuan?"
Chu Cimo was known for his licentious ways.
Chu Ciyuan, on the other hand, was a bastard of the Chu family, with low status.
Shen Bijun and these two... it really was possible.
Although she was not on par with Miss Lin, might she form a connection with the Chus, who would dare to look down on her afterward?
Before Shen Bijun could speak, Lin Wanru abruptly interrupted her, "Shen Bijun, this is not the place for such a conversation. This concerns the reputation of the young master of the Chus, it's better to discuss face to face with Madame Chu! Please, this way."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Bijun was escorted by Lin Wanru towards the VIP lounge.
As the only six-star hotel in Sea City, one had to pass through a large garden when going from the lobby to the lounge.
Although Shen Bijun had often attended banquets before, she had never seen anyone book an entire hotel as a venue, the Chus truly were the top wealthy family.
Chu Tianye hopped and skipped beside her, and at this moment, his eyes were shining as he looked around, "Mommy, Daddy's family seems really rich!"
He had just checked, this hotel was a property of the Chus.
Priceless rare herbal plants, millions!
A valuable man-made lake, tens of millions!
The entire hotel exuded the scent of money, he loved it!
The sight of her son acting like a money-grubber made Shen Bijun's lips twitch, and she also thought of Madame Chu, who seemed to have a similar love for wealth—it truly ran in the family!
Now alone, Lin Wanru dropped her facade of hypocrisy and said with a sneer, "It seems you have indeed fallen on hard times these past few years, raising your son to be such a bumpkin, without any worldly experience!"
Chu Tianye rolled his eyes and muttered, "Raising Mommy is indeed very hard, especially with prices going up. If everyone were like you, Auntie, that would be great!"
Lin Wanru didn't understand, "Like me?"
Chu Tianye stuck out his tongue, "Cheap!"
"..."
Lin Wanru did not explode with rage. Instead, she looked at Chu Tianye with venomous eyes, like a snake, and suddenly said viciously, "Throw this little bastard into the lake!"
This man-made lake was connected to the river outside; the currents were swift. If thrown in without prompt rescue, a child would be carried away with the flow and likely end up without a trace!
Without the child, she'd see what proof Shen Bijun could use for recognition!
The two bodyguards following Lin Wanru, who were her trusted men, one stopped Shen Bijun, and the other went to grab Chu Tianye.
Shen Bijun narrowed her eyes, "Lin Wanru, murder is against the law!"
But Lin Wanru did not panic. She scoffed, "Murder? It's just a child's playfulness leading to an accidental fall! This is a blind spot for the surveillance, even if you call the police, do you have any evidence?"
Her reaction was too intense... Shen Bijun suddenly understood something, "Do you know that his father is Chu Yanshen?"
Lin Wanru jeered, "So what if I do? I'll tell you, Master Shen and I are in mutual love, and I will never allow this child to ruin it!"
Mutual love...
If they were really engaged, then what was her relationship with Chu Yanshen five years ago?
Shen Bijun stated firmly, "I want to see Chu Yanshen."
His disappearance years ago was too strange, there had to be some mystery to it. She had never liked misunderstandings and preferred to speak plainly face to face.
Lin Wanru fiddled with her fingers, "Is Master Shen someone that a lowly person like you can just meet whenever you want? What are you all standing around for? Take action!"
But just as the security guards were about to catch Chu Tianye, the little guy deftly slipped out from under a guard's arm.
Shen Bijun didn't go to help him, instead, she grabbed Lin Wanru by the neck, forcefully pressing her against the railing by the lake. With just a release, Lin Wanru would fall into the water.
The two security guards didn't dare to go after Chu Tianye any longer and hurried over.
Shen Bijun lifted her chilly eyes, "Take me to see Chu Yanshen."
Lin Wanru ground her teeth in hatred, "Master Shen's plane is delayed, he won't come tonight. He's going straight back to the old mansion. Give up that thought!"
She would never let the two meet!
At that moment, the Chus' butler seemingly heard the commotion, arriving with several security guards.
A glint flickered in Lin Wanru's eyes, and she suddenly pushed Shen Bijun away with force, causing herself to "splash" into the pond!
"Shen Bijun pushed Miss Lin into the pond!"
"Quick, someone save her!"
With several figures leaping into the water, Lin Wanru was quickly rescued. With red eyes, she said, "Butler, one moment she claims her child is Mr. Cimo's, another moment it's Master Chu Ciyuan's, she even claimed it was Master Shen's. All I did was call out her bluff, and she, in a fit of shame and anger, pushed me in..."
The butler's face darkened, and he ordered the surrounding security guards, "Take them into custody! To cause trouble in the Chus' residence, they must not want to live!"
Lin Wanru breathed a sigh of relief.
With Shen Bijun caught, how things would be dealt with was still up to her!
She whispered to the two trusted guards at her side, "In the chaos, take the little one and... bump him into the river to drown, make it look like an accident."
Lin Wanru's voice was very faint, but her lip movements had been clearly caught by Shen Bijun!
Surrounded by a dozen security guards, Shen Bijun slightly furrowed her brows.
Chu Tianye blinked his eyes.
Daddy isn't coming? Good thing he was prepared; he had already sent his sister to intercept him at the airport.
-
Airport.
Chu Yanshen disembarked the plane and walked briskly toward the exit.
The man was tall and imposing, his whole body emanated a chill keeping people at a distance, and he walked with a domineering air that made people stay away. Bodyguards cleared the path ahead and behind, so ordinary people couldn't get close.
As he reached the VIP reception, he saw Lu Cheng wearing a flamboyant floral shirt, holding a Samoyed at the entrance.
Next to him, a delicate little girl clutched a dinosaur stuffed toy, her eyes fixated on the dog.
Five-year-old Chu Xiaomeng clenched the hem of her clothing.
Disliking contact with others and suffering from slight social anxiety, she didn't enjoy talking to strangers.
But—the dog looked so cute!
She mustered up her courage and approached Lu Cheng, "Uncle, may I pet the dog?"
These timid and naive words were difficult to refuse.
Lu Cheng teased her, "Call me brother, and you can pet him." Was he that old? He hadn't even been in a relationship yet, okay?
Chu Xiaomeng widened her beautiful eyes.
She didn't understand why someone would make such a request, but she eventually compromised, "Uncle, may I pet brother?"
"..."
Lu Cheng was dumbfounded.
A waft of cold air approached, and Lu Cheng turned his head in surprise, "Brother Shen, you've finally arrived! Let me tell you, this little girl is so interesting..."
Chu Yanshen looked at the little girl.
But the little one was staring straight back at him. After a few seconds, joy blossomed in her eyes as she cried out with a bright and resounding voice, "Daddy! Hurry to save Mommy and Brother!"
