Chapter 225 - 225 The Truth Behind The Messy Memories
225 The Truth Behind The Messy Memories
Matriarch Chu’s aura was extremely powerful. When compared to Madam Yun, she exuded an even more dignified aura. At this moment, her sharp eyes directly landed on Madam Qian.
Madam Qian was stunned. She subconsciously stood up. “Matriarch Chu, I’m speaking about these two kids. I’m not scolding your grandchildren…”
But as the sound of her voice faded, Chu Yu and Chu Tianye ran over to Matriarch Chu in unison. Each of them was holding one of her hands.
Chu Yu pointed at Madam Qian. “Grandma, she cursed at me, saying I’m a little b*stard!”
Chu Tianye’s eyeballs spun. “She even said that daddy is a poor person and scolded mommy for being uncultured! She said we are poor relatives that came here to gain support!”
The voices of the two children were extremely clear as they complained and painted a colorful picture.
Hearing this, Madam Qian was so shocked that her face turned pale.
She stared in disbelief at Shen Ruojing as she gulped down a mouthful of saliva. After that, she involuntarily looked at Wen Yuyi and angrily spoke, “Didn’t you say that the father of Miss Shen’s children has a low status and background?”
The Chu Family…had a low status?
Wen Yuyi was stunned.
After Shen Ruojing and Shen Qianhui’s identity was revealed, although Wen Yuyi was neglected and lost the qualifications to dine at the main table, she didn’t feel that it was a big matter.
After all, how great of a status would an illegitimate daughter who had grown up elsewhere have?
So even if Shen Ruojing was more beautiful than her, she didn’t really care.
However, she had never expected that these two children were actually from the Chu Family. In that case, which young master of the Chu Family was that man who had spoken to Shen Ruojing last night?
Just as she was pondering, Chu Cichen respectfully followed Shen Qianhui and came in.
The moment he entered, his eyes turned to Shen Ruojing, and a hint of light flashed in his dark eyes.
“…” However, Shen Ruojing shifted her gaze away slightly and lowered her eyelids.
Upon seeing this, the light in Chu Cichen’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he soon calmed down and stopped talking. After that, he turned and looked at the two children.
Chu Tianye and Chu Yu immediately turned their heads away, refusing to look at him.
A bad daddy that bullied their mommy… they didn’t want someone like that!
Chu Cichen’s mouth opened and closed, wanting to say something. But ultimately, he didn’t know what to say. He could only turn and look at Madam Qian.
Madam Qian was already trembling when Matriarch Chu was staring at her. Now that Chu Cichen was also doing the same thing, she was so frightened that she trembled even more. She quickly sought help. “Madam Yun, we are all one family. This was really a misunderstanding. Quickly help me to say something!”
Madam Yun quietly sighed.
The Yun and Qian Families were already considered one family in terms of businesses, so Madam Yun could only take a step forward and speak up, “Elder sister, this is Madam Qian. Her son Qian Nanyin is Little Wei’s fiance.”
When Matriarch Chu heard this, she withdrew her gaze and no longer bothered with Madam Qian.
Seeing this, Madam Qian heaved a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. She still wanted to say something, but Matriarch Chu spoke first, “Madam Qian, do you still have something you need?”
Madam Qian who wanted to stay behind for some interactions immediately understood that Matriarch Chu was extremely unhappy now. Hence, she gulped down saliva and replied, “Nope, nothing. We will make a move first…”
Matriarch Chu’s attitude was domineering. “I won’t send you off.”
Madam Qian, who had been acting like this place belonged to her, could only bring Qian Nanyin along and flee like a defeated dog.
After the two completely left, Matriarch Chu turned to Madam Yun. “Are you sure you want Little Wei to marry into such a family? She will feel aggrieved forever!”
Madam Yun’s eyes turned red. “I also didn’t want it, but…forget it. Elder sister, let us talk about something else.”
Matriarch Chu frowned and wanted to reprimand this weak sister of hers.
But when she saw that there were a bunch of juniors here, she decided not to. This was especially so when she turned and saw Yun Wei who had her head lowered. Eventually, Matriarch Chu decided to just lead the two children to the sofa area.
However, she had made a decision in her heart.
Since she already came, she would pay any price to ensure that her niece’s future wasn’t destroyed!
Wen Yuyi surveyed the few of them before silently heaving a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these two children didn’t belong to Chu Cichen. After all, the two children didn’t look at him or address him as their father when they saw each other. So most probably, these children were Chu Cimo’s?
She had heard that Matriarch Chu had two sons, and Chu Cimo was a wild romantic as well as a profligate son. Since Shen Ruojing was pretty, it was normal that Chu Cimo would disregard her background given his personality.
For someone so outstanding like Chu Cichen, he would surely check the other party’s background first before deciding to marry…
Wen Yuyi blushed while she contemplated. At this moment, Madam Yun looked at her and said, “Yuyi, you can head upstairs first. We have things to discuss.”
Wen Yuyi bit her lips unhappily.
Madam Yun would always act like this. Every time there were guests, Madam Yun would tell her to go upstairs.
Wasn’t it because Madam Yun was afraid that she would steal Yun Wei’s limelight?
Although she was unwilling, she still had to do so. After that, she politely said a few sentences to Matriarch Chu before heading upstairs. As she walked away, her gaze would flit frequently to Chu Cichen.
It was a pity that the man didn’t even bother to cast a glance at her.
As she was walking up, the last thing Wen Yuyi heard was Chu Cichen speaking, “Little Aunt, me and my mother will have to impose on you during this period.”
His voice was low, as pleasant sounding as music notes from a cello.
This caused Wen Yuyi’s heartbeats to quicken.
She wanted to eavesdrop more. But as she sensed someone staring at her, she could only angrily enter her room and wasn’t able to hear anything more.
Downstairs.
After Shen Ruojing heard Chu Cichen’s words, she frowned and looked at him.
At this moment, the man lowered his eyelids, looking obedient. The tyrannical aura he had just exuded was gone, and he looked more like the nice ‘puppy-like’ guy whom she met six years ago.
Madam Yun looked at them and laughed. “No problem. The Yun Family may lack a lot of things, but we don’t lack rooms! You guys can stay however long you want! I will get people to immediately prepare some rooms on the second floor. Jingjing, do you want to bring Cichen to tour the garden first? This is the first time Cichen visited our family!”
“…” Shen Ruojing looked at the bright eyes of the three elders and two children. After a few moments, she sighed and spoke to Chu Cichen, “Follow me.”
Chu Cichen heaved a sigh of relief.
He then nodded to the elders and followed behind her.
After the two of them arrived at the back garden, Shen Ruojing found a bench and sat down. She then cocked her head and looked at him.
Chu Cichen obediently sat beside her.
Shen Ruojing asked, “…Didn’t we agree that before we investigate things clearly and match our memories, we should maintain a distance from each other?”
Chu Cichen nodded. “Hmm, I only want to see you every day. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you.”
Shen Ruojing was speechless.
Given how obedient he looked now, he didn’t appear like the tyrannical CEO of the Chu Family.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing’s phone suddenly rang.
She glanced over and discovered that it was an unfamiliar number.
As she picked it up, a voice could be heard from the other end. “Shen Ruojing, one month has passed. Do you still remember me?”
This voice…it was the person who called her back then and asked if she wanted to know why Chu Cichen didn’t remember her.
The light in her gaze dimmed.
The other party continued, “Up till now, don’t tell me you still don’t want to know why both of your memories don’t match?”
Just when Shen Ruojing wanted to say she didn’t want to know, her mobile phone was directly snatched away by Chu Cichen.
The man’s gaze was sharp, and he had a look of determination on his face, no longer appearing like the little puppy from earlier. His dark eyes flashed with resolve. “I wish to know the answer.”
The other party paused. “You are?”
“Chu Cichen. Tell me your conditions. What do you want for you to tell me the truth?”
The other party fell silent for a few moments and then laughed. “Mr. Chu, there is no need for any conditions. I can give you all the answers for free.”
