Chapter 355 - 355 His Idol!
355 His Idol!
Shen Ruojing picked up the phone. “Hello. Master, you have finished investigating?”
“…How can it be so quick? Your photo shows a man in his twenties. He is probably in his eighties now, so it will be difficult to search for him. However, I find that he looks quite familiar. It is just that I temporarily can’t remember where I’ve seen him before.”
“Tsk. Old man, why are you calling me then?”
“Your attitude changes so fast. Hehe!” The other party laughed before continuing, “The Fighting King Competition is about to begin. This is something organized by our Valor Gate, and since you are coming to the capital to celebrate my birthday, you might as well stay here a few more days and go attend the competition as a VIP to give face to the sect.”
The Fighting King Competition was actually not very welcomed by the others at the start.
After all, the Valor Gate practiced martial arts and they didn’t abuse them in fights. Such fighting competitions were more popular overseas.
It was Shen Ruojing who caused this to become trending in China.
When she was seventeen, she participated in this competition. And after becoming the champion with absolute dominance, she was discovered by the Valor Gate. The champion could join the sect, and she was invited to do so. Soon after that, she was accepted as a personal disciple by the sect leader and became the famous martial ‘uncle’ whose fame rocked the world back then.
So in recent years, the Fighting King Competition gradually became more popular.
After all, everyone wanted to become the next junior martial uncle!
Shen Ruojing touched her chin. It had been a long time since she fought. Although she couldn’t participate to trash the juniors, she could still go and ogle those fresh young bodies.
Hence, she decided to accept the invitation happily.
After hanging up, Shen Ruojing went to roam the streets on her motorbike before returning to the Chu Manor.
Just when she arrived at the carpark, she saw Chu Cichen walking out of the living room. Hence, Shen Ruojing’s steps halted. She suddenly thought of the kiss today in the car.
Her calmed emotions from riding her bike suddenly slowed by half a beat.
Her face was also slightly flushed.
Shen Ruojing then coughed and just when she was thinking about whether she should continue to jog for two more rounds, she saw the man calmly speaking with no change to his expression, “Jingjing, lunch is ready. Let’s eat together.”
He spoke with a straight face and maintained an appropriate distance.
He didn’t feel that their relationship had gone a step closer due to the kiss earlier, and he also didn’t act like how he did before by acting too gentlemanly.
Anyway, she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Hence, Shen Ruojing’s steps paused and she suddenly felt that she might be a little too melodramatic.
They already had kids, so why was she acting embarrassed?
She had always been a carefree person, hence, she nodded immediately. “Sure.”
Chu Cichen’s lips curled slightly when she turned and entered the house. Right now, he had grasped the method to interact with Shen Ruojing…She was heroic and didn’t mind the tiny details, but she would also occasionally show the shyness of a young girl although she would conceal her expression very quickly. As long as he acted straightforwardly, the two of them would feel very comfortable.
After the four kids went to school, Chu Cimo helped Bai Shanshan down the stairs.
Although Bai Shanshan’s body was fine, she was ultimately clad in very thin clothes in that incident. So, her skin had marks of frostbite and her face, in addition to her arms and legs, were ruddy red.
Luckily, the frostbite ointment that Shen Ruojing gave her was extremely effective.
When Bai Shanshan saw Shen Ruojing, she immediately smiled. “Sis Ruojing, your ointment is too good! I’m actually questioning myself whether or not you are Doraemon. If not, why do you have everything?”
Shen Ruojing’s lips curled into a smile when she heard this.
A mocking look flashed in her eyes.
No one understood except for Chu Cichen.
When she was 518, she would do missions all year round and visit all places in the world. So, how could she not be prepared with various ointments?
Chu Cichen suddenly recalled that back then the three children had been poisoned by Lin Wanru, and Shen Ruojing had the detoxification pills…
However, no one knew that when Lin Wanru poisoned the three children, Chu Cichen had already decided to make Lin Wanru disappear. The happenings later were all arranged by him.
Now when he thought of the past, he felt heartache for Shen Ruojing.
She would only have frostbite ointment because she had suffered frostbite from some missions before.
Chu Cichen lowered his phoenix eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
(It’s fine, what’s past is past. But in the future, I will definitely not let her suffer, not even for the slightest bit!)
At this very moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Chu Cichen glanced at the caller id and discovered that it was from a stranger. He then picked it up and put it on speaker’s mode. A moment later, a middle-aged man’s voice rang out. “Mr. Chu, I’m Shen Chong.”
Chu Cichen’s tone was composed and one couldn’t tell what he was feeling. “Mr. Shen.”
Shen Chong’s voice was filled with some helplessness. “My daughter bugged me and told me I have to find you. How about this? As long as you promise to date my daughter, I’ll cooperate with you. How about it?”
After saying this, the people at the dining table lifted their heads in unison. However, everyone didn’t look at Chu Cichen. Their first reaction was to look at Shen Ruojing!
Shen Ruojing, who was in the midst of using her chopsticks to take some food, paused.
She then lifted her brows and looked at Chu Cichen.
Hence, Matriarch Chu and Bai Shanshan both turned to look at Chu Cichen. The two of them had trepidation in their eyes. It was like if Chu Cichen dared to agree, they would definitely help Shen Ruojing teach him a lesson!
Luckily, Chu Cichen’s attitude was firm. “I only have my fiancee in my heart and have no interest in your daughter.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
The words in the first part were all superfluous!
“Are you sure?” Shen Chong’s tone contained arrogance. “Chu Cichen, you better know what’s good for you. If it wasn’t for the fact that my daughter is fond of you, I wouldn’t even bother to call you! The Chu Family must have found it difficult to establish a foothold in the capital, right? My elder brother deliberately targets you and right now, in the entire capital, I’m the only one who can pull you back up. If not, no other corporations would purchase your materials, and you will only be able to wait until your stock rots. You…”
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Cichen hung up directly.
Matriarch Chu praised. “Well done.”
Bai Shanshan also nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Cimo’s lips twitched and he couldn’t help but speak out for his big brother. His voice was very low. “Those who don’t know might even feel that this is the Shen Family, and my brother is someone who’s married into it. Mother, you are just too biased.”
After he said that, Bai Shanshan poked him and spoke in a warning tone, “What are you talking about?”
Chu Cimo twitched his lips. “Well, it is true, isn’t it? Why are you not letting me say this? What’s so good about Shen Ruojing? All of you are so biased toward her.”
Bai Shanshan immediately replied, “Sister Jing knows how to concoct medicine, and she has all sorts of medicine with her. She’s very impressive!”
Matriarch Chu also spoke, “Jingjing is also the famous Anonymous. Moreover, didn’t she reveal herself to be Qing Dai previously?”
Chu Cimo snorted in disdain. “So? All these are merely small things!”
Matriarch Chu immediately pointed at him and scolded, “What small things? A lazy affluent second-generation like you even has the cheek to look down on Jingjing?”
“I didn’t say I look down on her. I just feel that you guys are overly too…Anyway, being skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and medicine is a domain that females excel in since ancient times. Men wouldn’t have high regard for these at all. In my eyes, only martial arts are worthy of respect!”
Matriarch Chu sneered and spoke in contempt, “With your short figure? Martial arts? I think you will be better off training in dance!”
Chu Cimo immediately acted coquettishly. “Mother, how am I inferior? I’ve always been practicing martial arts, okay?”
Matriarch Chu. “Alright then, tell me more. What have you trained in exactly? Ever since you were young, was there even a day you had to wake up due to external influence and didn’t wake naturally? Look at your elder brother and sister-in-law, they woke up every day to exercise…”
“What can those lousy exercises count for? My idol is the most impressive!” Chu Cimo spoke with pride.
Matriarch Chu. “You have someone you treat as an idol? Tell us, who is your idol?”
“In any case, he isn’t a composer or a doctor.” Chu Cimo arrogantly glanced at Shen Ruojing before he continued, “You have heard of Valor Gate, right?”
Matriarch Chu, Chu Cichen, and Shen Ruojing all started slightly as they looked at him.
After that, Chu Cimo straightened his back. “My idol is the junior martial ‘uncle’ of Valor Gate!”
