Chapitre 19: How Good Would It Be If They Were Triplets
Shen Ruojing crossed her arm and frowned. "Mn, the Chu Family indeed has never done anything to harm me. They merely made it so that my father has no work, my mother is chased out of the family, and no schools will take my son in."
"…"
Chu Cichen felt a stinging pain on his face as though he just got slapped.
He could tell just from thinking about it that Matriarch Chu wasn't someone that would do that. Lin Wanru must be the one who had used the Chu Family's name to do so.
He then opened his mouth and didn't shirk the responsibility. "I apologize."
At this moment, Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui entered the house.
Jing Zhen was still angry at the injustice as he said, "Also, that Chu Cichen let down our Jingjing. He better not let me see him, or I'll beat him up every time he appears before me!"
Shen Qianhui cast a glance at him, indicating that there was an outsider here. Only then did Jing Zhen hesitate and look at Chu Cichen. "Jingjing, this is?"
Shen Ruojing had a half-smile on her face. "Chu Cichen."
Jing Zhen: "..."
His gaze roamed Chu Cichen's body, and he coughed lightly before straightening his spine.
Chu Cichen was very tall. His height was 1.88 meters, and in addition to his solemn-looking face, he gave off a lofty and supreme feeling. However, now when Jing Zhen majestically stood beside him, his aura actually didn't lose out in the slightest.
Jing Zhen took a step forward and patted Chu Cichen's shoulder with the attitude of an elder.
The two men stared at each other. One had peach blossom eyes, while the other had phoenix eyes. Sparks could be seen clashing through the air.
A while later, Jing Zhen coldly snorted. "Your muscles are pretty tough."
Chu Cichen: "?"
When their gazes matched, Jing Zhen's aura wasn't weaker than his at all. In fact, Chu Cichen could sense vigilance from Jing Zhen, and he kept thinking that Jing Zhen was about to say something fierce to lecture him.
After that, Jing Zhen walked past Chu Cichen and had his hands behind him, while he walked into the living room. He then sighed, "Ai, I'm old now. Five years ago, you would definitely not be a match for me!"
Chu Cichen stared at his departing back and had a heavy look on his face as he asked Shen Ruojing, "Was your father very powerful five years ago?"
"Naturally." Shen Ruojing answered, "At that time, he was acting as an emperor."
She then added, "The emperor of a defeated country. He is an extra."
Chu Cichen: "..."
Shen Qianhui followed Jing Zhen into the living room. Just when she entered, Jing Zhen anxiously grabbed her hand. "Wife, why is someone from the Chu Family here? Should we make preparations to flee during the night?"
"..."
Before Shen Qianhui could say anything, Chu Tianye's voice rang out from above. "Grandpa, there's no need for that. My paternal grandmother and daddy won't come here to bully us! They came here to send warmth!"
Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen had come home, so Matriarch Chu naturally wouldn't keep hiding with Chu Cimo above. They directly headed down.
After both parties met, they sat on the sofa.
Matriarch Chu looked at Shen Ruojing. "I've investigated what happened. The poisoner was the nanny. Because she broke a vase a few days ago and I made her compensate us, she was very unhappy about it. She has admitted to the crime after being apprehended and is now being dealt with by the police…"
After hearing this, Shen Ruojing wasn't surprised.
People from rich families naturally wouldn't act personally if they wanted to do something illegal.
Back in the Chu Manor, she knew she wouldn't be able to obtain evidence so Lin Wanru could surely escape scotfree. This was why she had punished Lin Wanru with her own methods.
Matriarch Chu evidently also thought of this point. She continued, "In the past, I kept feeling that it wouldn't be good if Chu Yu didn't have a mother. That's why I wanted Lin Wanru and Cichen to be together. But now, I feel that she isn't suitable to be a part of the Chu Family, hence, I decide to cancel the engagement."
This was the answer she gave.
If Lin Wanru's body was damaged from the poison, and the engagement also got canceled, that would be the best punishment for her.
However, Matriarch Chu's words revealed another meaning. 'Lin Wanru was after all Chu Yu's mother, so it isn't appropriate for the Chu Family to punish her too hard.'
Shen Ruojing nodded as a mocking smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, Matriarch Chu's mobile phone suddenly rang. She then picked the call up and looked straight at Shen Ruojing when she heard what the butler said. "It's Little Yu, he wants to come and find you…"
When Shen Ruojing thought that the adorable child she had saved was actually Lin Wanru's son, she decided to ruthlessly reject it. "I don't have the habit of raising someone's children."
Matriarch Chu had always doted on this grandson of hers. Hence, she simply turned the loudspeaker on, and Chu Yu's juvenile voice rang out. "Beautiful aunty, I want to see you. Where are you and my brother and sister? I will come and look for you all!"
Shen Ruojing's heart trembled.
Matriarch Chu then took the chance and spoke, "Miss Shen, since Little Ye and Little Meng are also children of the Chu Family, why don't you bring them along and stay in the Chu Manor?"
This was her true purpose.
Although she still didn't understand Shen Ruojing well, Matriarch Chu liked her for some reason. Back then, she had no choice but to choose Lin Wanru. But now, since Little Yu also liked Shen Ruojing, and she had given birth to two children for Chu Cichen, Matriarch Chu would prefer it if they stayed together…
Shen Ruojing leaned against the sofa. She then looked at Chu Cichen and coldly rejected this idea. "No need for that."
Matriarch Chu still wanted to say something, but Chu Cichen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her phone. He then commanded coldly, "You should stay at home. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"I don't…"
Chu Yu's voice was filled with the tone of crying and stopped halfway since Chu Cichen had hung up.
Chu Yu's voice actually caused Shen Ruojing to feel some reluctance.
Chu Cichen then stood up after hanging up the phone. "The children need to rest, so I won't impose on you any longer. Miss Shen, I will send people to investigate the matters from five years ago. I will inform you if there are any results."
After speaking, he turned and left their house.
Matriarch Chu didn't like the way things were going, but she didn't dare to defy her eldest son. Hence, she could only bring Chu Cimo with her and left together.
After the Chus left, the living room was still a mess.
Shen Qianhui was dumbfounded. "So, Little Ye and Little Meng's father is Chu Cichen?"
Jing Zhen was filled with anticipation for the future. "Jingjing, do you think the Chu Family can invest in me for a movie and let me be the main lead for once…"
Chu Tianye took out his bank card and was grinning happily as he lowered his head.
Only Chu Xiaomeng suddenly looked at Shen Ruojing. "Mommy, can we really not allow Brother Yu to come?"
When Chu Tianye heard this, he hurriedly kicked Chu Xiaomeng. "What nonsense are you talking about? He is the son of the bad woman and that bad woman harmed us…"
Chu Xiaomeng sighed. "Why can't Brother Yu be my real brother as well?"
They could love each other if they were triplets!
Now, they were forced to split.
Chu Tianye also sighed. "He's actually quite pitiful seeing that he has such a bad woman for a mother."
The two of them continued chatting to the point where even Shen Ruojing, who was listening at the side, felt like crying.
She suddenly asked, "Little Ye, when is Chu Yu's birthday?"
Chu Tianye was an expert at social interaction, and his personality was bright and straightforward. Hence, although he had only stayed a night in the Chu Manor, Shen Ruojing was sure that he had obtained all the information about Chu Yu!
As expected, Chu Tianye grinned and answered, "Fourth of October!"
Shen Ruojing was stunned upon hearing this.
