Chu Cimo didn’t expect that the matter would blow up at his house.

He frowned and looked at the shareholders who were reproaching him.

“Young Master Mo, say something! Do you know how much loss you’ve brought for the company with your mess?”

“That’s right. Don’t you usually just play games outside? Why would you suddenly go and destroy someone else’s family?”

“Are you just fooling around? Hurry up and clarify things!”

“Ah, that celebrity said that she and Young Master Mo are just friends. So this matter must just be a misunderstanding!”

“That’s good then, that’s good then. Let’s hurry up and arrange for a press conference! I’ll go arrange it right away…”

A shareholder took out his phone and wanted to make a call.

Madam Yan also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them like this.

She had come to create trouble because Yan Zihao had asked her to.

Yan Zihao had said that the Chu Family would definitely snatch the child away. Although Madam Yan had a preference for boys over girls, hoping to have a grandson, Yan Xiaoqi was her granddaughter, so she still doted on her.

If not, she wouldn’t have been worried at all when Yan Xiaoqi didn’t return home for two days when Bai Shanshan quarreled with Yan Zihao.

Moreover, Yan Zihao had said that he wasn’t planning to get married in this lifetime again. He was going to spend his life with Yan Zijing. Yan Zijing’s constitution wasn’t suitable for pregnancy. If they were to lose Yan Xiaoqi, he might not be able to have another child in the future.

This made Madam Yan even more anxious.

Yan Xiaoqi was her only granddaughter!

She wiped her tears and said to Matriarch Chu, “If that’s the case, then I’m assured. Matriarch Chu, can you give your word here that you guys will not get involved in the marriage between my daughter-in-law and my son? They are only fighting now, and my son already knows his mistake and is repentant. They still have feelings for each other as a couple. Don’t they say that one should rather tear down a temple than destroy a marriage?”

“We’ll give our word, we’ll definitely give our word…” The shareholders then urged Matriarch Chu, “Matriarch, just agree to her request! Then we’ll clarify things to the public…”

Matriarch Chu clenched her fists.

She fixed her gaze on Chu Cimo and suddenly asked, “Do you really not have any relationship with her?”

Chu Cimo lowered his gaze. “Not for now.”

The other shareholders felt even more at ease upon hearing this. All of them looked at Madam Yan. “You guys mustn’t accuse the Chu Family like that! Did you hear that? Our Young Master Mo doesn’t have any relationship with your daughter-in-law!”

Matriarch Chu heaved a sigh of relief as well.

To speak the truth, although she was open-minded, she treasured her youngest son and didn’t wish for him to be with a woman who had been married before and had a child…

Matriarch Chu was about to say something when Chu Cimo said firmly, “But we’ll definitely have a relationship in the future. I’m indeed wooing her.”

“…”

Chu Cimo’s words astounded everyone present.

All of them looked at him in disbelief.

Madam Yan was the first to explode. “Mr. Chu, how can you be like this?! You’re destroying someone else’s marriage!”

Chu Cimo shrugged. “I don’t. Didn’t I say that we don’t have a relationship now? I’ll woo her after she gets divorced.”

Madam Yan trembled in fury. “If you don’t woo her, she won’t have any other way out and won’t dare to get a divorce even if it’s for the child’s sake! But with you to back her up, she’ll definitely choose riches over being poor and ask for a divorce. Wouldn’t you be destroying someone else’s marriage then?”

Chu Cimo replied nonchalantly, “So that’s how it is. Then I’ll just be a third party then.”

“…”

Madam Yan felt both angry and anxious. She looked at Matriarch Chu and asked, “Matriarch Chu, are you really not going to take Mr. Chu in hand?”

The shareholders quickly said, “Young Master Mo, you mustn’t be muddle-headed! That celebrity is fat and ugly. Why do you have to do this for her?”

“How on earth did she bewitch you? Young Master Mo, I can get you as many beauties as you wish! Right now, the company is already in a bad situation, so you shouldn’t be adding more trouble!”

“Dugu Xiao is keeping an eye on us now. Young Master Mo, it’s fine that you don’t take care of the company matters, but how can you drag us down during such a critical period?!”

“…”

Everyone started reproaching Chu Cimo, then eventually looked at Matriarch Chu. “Matriarch Chu, hurry up and persuade Young Master Mo! He usually listens to you the most!”

Matriarch Chu had her back straight, and her disposition was elegant and poised, like that of a career woman. When she heard everyone’s words, she also looked at Chu Cimo and asked slowly, “Have you thought it through? You won’t regret it?”

Chu Cimo nodded. “I won’t regret it. Mother, I’ve actually been looking for her all these years.”

After saying that, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes as he continued, “That’s why I can’t give up. How about this, you can chase me out of the family for the company’s sake.”

Matriarch Chu was startled.

Chu Cimo had a close relationship with her and would always talk to her when he had things troubling him. Therefore, she knew all along that Chu Cimo liked someone. And when she heard Chu Cimo saying this, she no longer had any more hesitation and looked straight at Madam Yan. She said, “The reason your daughter-in-law and son are getting a divorce is because they don’t have a good relationship. If your son treated your daughter-in-law very well, then even if my son were to try to get between them, would he be able to succeed?”

Madam Yan. “??”

All the shareholders. “???”

When Chu Cimo saw Matriarch Chu taking his side, he smiled and straightened his back. “That’s right. I’m telling you, you guys better hurry up and agree to the divorce. If you dare to use any unscrupulous means against Bai Shanshan, then don’t blame me for not holding back against you guys!”

He had his hands on his waist, looking very much like a person who wanted to throw their weight around and bully others.

Those who didn’t know any better would definitely feel that Chu Cimo was the one in the wrong and that Bai Shanshan had an affair whilst still married… But no one knew that Bai Shanshan was deceived into getting married!

Madam Yan was enraged. “Excellent, excellent. The Chu Family is really too much!”

She then turned and left.

The shareholders were enraged. “Matriarch Chu! Overly doting on one’s child is the same as killing them! With the way you’re pampering Young Master Chu, there’d be trouble sooner or later!”

Chu Yuan, who was Chu Cimo’s third uncle, was also present. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. “Sister-in-law, we’ve turned a blind eye when you’ve been pampering Chu Cimo over so many years, but to think that you’re allowing him to do something like this as well?!”

Chu Yuan then scolded Chu Cimo, “And you, you spent the Chu Family’s money, but this is how to repay the family?”

Chu Cimo lowered his head. “I’ll make up for the losses the Chu Corporation has suffered because of me.”

Chu Yuan sneered. “Make up for the losses? You spend all of the bonuses you receive each year. Who doesn’t know that you’re one who spends all your money and doesn’t keep much? How are you going to make up for the losses? You wouldn’t be able to do that even if you were to sell yourself!”

A hint of sharpness flashed in Chu Cimo’s eyes.

Just as everyone was surrounding Matriarch Chu and Chu Cimo, questioning them, a Bentley drove in slowly. It was also surrounded by four to five other black sedans.

Chu Cichen had returned!

At the same time.

In Ye Lu’s clinic, Shen Ruojing sat on a chair in the testing room, playing with her phone. When she saw the various news, she frowned a little. “Is the result out?”

“Soon, soon! Don’t rush me!”

After Ye Lu did the last step, she looked at the machine. “The result is out!”
