Chapter 191: Stunning
Shen Ruojing quickly stood up and stabilized her body.
Then, she felt the scorching temperature from the man’s palm, and her heart skipped a beat as if she had been scalded.
The man’s chest was very tough, and hitting against it felt like hitting a wall.
Shen Ruojing rubbed her nose, which she accidentally hit as she fell forward earlier. She then lifted her dress impatiently and got into the car. When she looked back, she saw Chu Cichen’s hand still maintaining the position of embracing her. He stood there in a frozen state, his black and bright eyes staring at her.
Shen Ruojing’s heart started to feel warm at this moment. Her face flushed up a little before she said, “You are not getting in?”
Only then did Chu Cichen come to his senses. He first looked at his hand and then retracted it as if he had just woken up from a short dream. This was the first time he appeared a little silly in front of Shen Ruojing, and her lips curled up.
Only then did Chu Cichen get in the car and sit next to her.
In the car, there was a space between both of them that was intended for people to pass through.
However, for some reason, after Chu Cichen got into the car, Shen Ruojing felt that the spacious van became very cramped.
She pursed her lips before looking at Chu Cichen. She was about to say something when she saw that he was staring at the top of her head. He asked, “Your hair… What’s that scent?”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
She raised her brows and explained, “Oh, it’s a shampoo I made. It has mugwood added to it. Mugwood has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It can reduce scalp itchiness and other conditions.”
She hesitated for a moment. “You want to use it too?”
So it was the scent of her shampoo…
Chu Cichen revealed a disappointed look.
Shen Ruojing knew 518, and she could be that divine doctor friend 518 had mentioned before. Therefore, it should be considered normal for her to give 518 the shampoo she made.
Chu Cichen turned his head and looked out of the window.
He suddenly felt as if he had gone crazy.
To think that this crazy idea would pop up in his head again, making him feel that the person in front of him was the person he loved.
But if she was 518, how could she not know him?
518 had seen him before…
Chu Chichen lowered his gaze.
However, Shen Ruojing seemed perplexed. “???”
What was this situation?
Just a moment ago, he had had a scorching gaze, but now it suddenly turned calm
He might be ignoring her, so she didn’t want to talk to him either.
Shen Ruojing turned her head away too.
The car drove steadily and soon arrived at the hotel under the Chu Corporation—Wilson Hotel.
After getting out of the car, Shen Ruojing saw the sign in front of the hotel and suddenly recalled the day when she had brought Chu Tianye here to attend Matriarch Chu’s birthday banquet.
It was as if this matter was only yesterday, but three months had passed.
Shen Ruojing followed behind Chu Cichen and entered the banquet hall.
They were holding a celebratory banquet tonight, and everyone who came was from the Chu Corporation.
The moment Chu Cichen entered, he was surrounded by a few members of the company’s high management. Everyone was currying up to him, complimenting him on his decisiveness in deciding to change the Chu Corporation’s core business. They no longer acted in the same way they did a few days ago at the CEO’s office.
Shen Ruojing was planning to go look for Matriarch Chu when Fang Panxia walked out of the crowd. She asked, “Miss Shen, Bro Chen is going to greet the people from the company. Why don’t you go take a rest at the side? How about I bring you over?”
Fang Panxia conducted herself as if she was the hostess of the party.
Although Shen Ruojing didn’t like scheming, she knew the methods of wealthy families very well.
The reason Fang Panxia wanted to lure her away was to tell her not to interfere with the Chu Corporation.
Shen Ruojing sneered. “No need.”
She turned to look for Matriarch Chu and the three children.
Chu Cichen, who was surrounded by members of the upper management, was planning to introduce Shen Ruojing to everyone. However, when he turned his head, he saw Fang Panxia saying something to Shen Ruojing, who then walked away directly.
Seeing this, the man frowned and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
–
Shen Ruojing walked around for a little and saw Chu Cichen’s second aunt seated next to Matriarch Chu on a sofa not far away, trying to fawn at her. Moreover, there was a girl around 22 years old sitting next to the second aunt. She was wearing a white gown and was smiling respectfully.
Chu Cichen’s second aunt was promoting her niece to Matriarch Chu. “Eldest Sister-in-law, you watched my niece grow up. There’s nothing to complain about her character. The bank card that I brought to you previously was what she asked me to bring you. She provided help when you guys were in need. Eldest Sister-in-law, although Cichen is far-sighted and knew that the Chu Corporation would be fine, my niece didn’t know that. Her actions were sincere!”
Matriarch Chu lowered her gaze and gave an indifferent ‘mmm’. She then gave a friendly smile to the girl. “Although we didn’t use your money, we still have to thank you.”
“Aunty, you’re being too polite!” The girl stood up to walk over to the other side of Matriarch Chu, squeezing Chu Xiaomeng away and then sitting down. “This is something that I should do.”
The second aunt smiled. “Eldest Sister-in-law, my niece and you really share an affinity. Wouldn’t it be nice if the two of you become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?”
Matriarch Chu glanced at Chu Cichen’s second aunt and said indifferently, “That isn’t a good idea.”
“What’s bad about it? You know how good my maternal family is. Their corporation is ranked in the top five in Sea City. My niece would be a good match for our Chu Family if she were to become your daughter-in-law.”
Matriarch Chu refused once again. “Cimo already has a daughter. It’s not that suitable to get a stepmother for her.”
“What’s the problem with that?” Chu Cichen’s second aunt smiled and said, “My niece likes children the most. Isn’t it just a girl? She won’t fight for family assets, and we can just give her some money and then marry her out. Isn’t that right? Little Na, say something.”
The young girl, Little Na, lowered her head and looked shy. “Aunt, what are you saying? I like Cimo, so I will also treat his daughter well. Although I won’t be able to treat her better than my own children, I’ll try my best to be fair.”
“Oh my, look how kind my niece is!” Chu Cichen’s second aunt smiled. “Eldest Sister-in-law, are you satisfied now?”
“…” Matriarch Chu didn’t expect that the two of them didn’t understand the meaning behind her words of refusal despite her having put things so clearly. Hence, she could only say, “There’s no need to trouble you. No matter how well you treat the child, would you be able to take care of her as well as her birth mother?”
The moment Matriarch Chu said this, both Chu Cichen’s second aunt and Xiao Na were stunned for a moment.
Then, the lips of Chu Cichen’s second aunt twitched. “Eldest Sister-in-law? What do you mean by that? You can’t really want that fat, poor, and ugly female celebrity to be your daughter-in-law, right? Your eldest daughter-in-law doesn’t have a good family background, but she’s at least pretty. That female celebrity is over 80 kilograms! She neither has a good family background nor a good image! Didn’t she only give birth to a daughter? Just give her some money and send her away!”
The second aunt was nagging away when the butler came over. “I just heard the report that Young Master Mo and Miss Bai have just parked their car and will be entering soon.”
After Chu Cimo was released, he moved straight into the villa in the suburbs.
Matriarch Chu smiled when she heard the butler’s words. “Alright.”
Chu Cichen’s second aunt stood up and said mockingly, “Come, Xiao Na, let’s go and take a look at what that fatty looks like and what means she used to blind Cimo. To think that he would fancy her!”
When Xiao Na heard this, she sat up straight too.
She wanted to show Chu Cimo how blind he was. Why would he not like a beautiful girl like her but choose to like a fatty?
At this moment, Chu Cimo appeared at the entrance. He didn’t enter but instead looked behind him and stretched out his hand.
