I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 352
352 Thinking Of You
Only now did Yun Yiheng realize that he had exposed something he shouldn’t.
His father Yun Zhengyang had warned repeatedly back when he was at home that he must never reveal Shen Qianhui’s family identity to outsiders. He quickly changed his words. “I mean my male cousin and cousin-in-law.”
Shen Yuansong narrowed his eyes and looked like a wily old fox. He didn’t expose the lie and smiled. “Oh, what about them?”
Yun Yiheng recalled what Chu Cichen had told him so he decided not to talk so much and replied calmly, “Nothing much.”
!!
After that, he stood up. “Old sir, where is your fragmented zither score? Can I bring it back home to restore it?”
“Sure.”
Shen Yuansong got the butler to bring Yun Yiheng to take the zither score. But before Yun Yiheng left, he still couldn’t help but add, “I sincerely invite your cousin-in-law Qing Dai to come and play the zither for me. As for the conditions, she can state anything she wishes.”
Yun Yiheng felt joy in his heart and nodded. “I’ll transmit your words to her, sir.”
Since Shen Ruojing could state any conditions, didn’t it mean that the business transaction between the Chus and Shen Family could be completed?
After Yun Yiheng left, the butler came before Shen Yuansong and revealed everything that had happened earlier in detail.
Shen Yuansong silently sighed. “He’s useless!”
He had observed and tested Shen Zhong for so many years, but Shen Zhong’s aptitude was average. He basically couldn’t take on the responsibility of leading the Shen Family. For example, this time around, he got Chu Cichen over to humiliate him. This was the behavior only a minor family leader would make!
If he really dared to go all out and take revenge for his daughter, Shen Yuansong would actually feel a higher regard for him.
However, since he didn’t dare, he should just admit his mistake and tolerate this.
In addition…
“Look at how Shen Wanying was brought up by her family. She is the same as her father, and her head is filled with ideas on how to become the family leader. She is hypocritical and likes angling for fame. How can someone like that be the next leader of my Shen Family?”
Shen Wanying cared too much about her face and felt that Old Matriarch Bai had treated her badly. This was why she found a fake second uncle to swindle the Matriarch. However, if she was truly capable, she actually didn’t need to use these sorts of tricks, and the position of the next matriarch would be hers sooner or later!
Shen Yuansong’s expression sank. “I don’t think that little fellow surnamed ‘Chu’ would be easy to deal with. Just let Shen Zhong suffer a major disadvantage so I can take the chance to remove him from his position!”
The butler who was at the side didn’t dare to speak.
It was fine for the old master to criticize the people of the family, but the butler didn’t dare to overstep his bounds to criticize anyone from the family. He could only sigh silently. “How good would it be if you have children of your own.”
Shen Yuansong immediately fell silent. “What if my child is a female?”
As his words rang out, the butler immediately didn’t dare to speak anymore.
He had followed the old master for so many years and knew that the old master had had a relationship with Yun Zhengyang’s aunt from the Yun Family when he was younger. Hence, this was why he showed so much care for Yun Yiheng now.
After that, the two of them separated.
The woman from the Yun Family didn’t get married her entire life.
He, too, didn’t get married his entire life.
It had been so many years, but neither of them ever contacted each other. They didn’t want to disturb each other’s lives.
Back then, the woman from Yun Family knew his master’s identity and knew that if they had a daughter, their daughter’s fate wouldn’t be good. Hence, they both chose to break up. It was truly regretful.
The butler was always perplexed. Why didn’t they just give it a try?
If they wanted to have a boy, they could keep trying!
The butler was thinking of the past, and he suddenly heard Old Master Shen saying, “Say, what do you think he meant when he mentioned his female cousin?”
The butler started. “Huh?”
Shen Yuansong fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “I should have heard wrongly. You can leave first.”
–
Shen Ruojing followed Chu Cichen and left the office that Shen Zhong was in. The two of them then headed outside.
As they walked, they ran into Shen Jiayi whom they had encountered earlier.
Shen Jiayi was quite pretty, but it was unknown why her mouth looked somewhat similar to Shen Ruojing’s. When she saw the two of them walking out, she immediately took a step forward. “Mr. Chu, was the negotiation a success? Did my eldest uncle agree?”
Chu Cichen ignored her, but Lu Cheng felt extremely unhappy. “What success? Your eldest uncle was too much! He was pranking us!”
Shen Jiayi immediately spoke, “In that case, you guys can look for my father. My father is Shen Chong and he is also in charge of managing the Shen Family business. What industry are you guys from? I can get my father to help you…”
She was so passionate that Chu Cichen felt as though her passion was enveloping him.
Chu Cichen took a step back and held Shen Ruojing’s hand again, looking like a perfect couple. He spoke helplessly, “Miss Shen, please respect yourself or my wife will be unhappy.”
Shen Jiayi immediately laughed. “I got someone to check. You guys are not married at all.”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
Her peach blossom eyes glanced up as she stared heavily at Shen Jiayi.
This was her first time encountering provocation from other women.
After that, Chu Cichen’s low voice drifted over. “We are indeed not married…”
Shen Jiayi’s expression shone with happiness, but Chu Cichen soon continued, “So we better maintain an appropriate distance between us. If not, what if my fiancee refuses to marry me because she is angry?”
Shen Jiayi. “?”
She had investigated and found out that Shen Ruojing was a small-time celebrity in the entertainment industry.
Logically speaking, the Chu Family was the number one influential family in Sea City no matter what, so Shen Ruojing must have fawned over Chu Cichen. But why did the situation now seem as though Chu Cichen was the one simping for Shen Ruojing?
After Chu Cichen finished saying that, he tugged Shen Ruojing’s hand and pulled her together with him as they stepped past Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi still had not regained her senses even after the three of them vanished from her vision.
A servant beside her spoke, “Young Miss, I think Mr. Chu doesn’t know what’s good for him…”
“What do you know?” Shen Jiayi’s eyes gleamed. “Only a man like this is good. I don’t care, I want him!”
Given her status, all unmarried men in the capital were available for her choosing.
This was how Shen Jiayi’s tyrannical and picky nature got nurtured.
The servant wanted to persuade her. “But he already has a fiancee…”
“So what? She’s just a small-time celebrity, how can her status be nobler than mine? But as long as Chu Cichen isn’t blind, he will know who to choose!”
After saying that, Shen Jiayi excitedly rushed into her house. “I’m going to look for my father and get him to cooperate with Chu Cichen. At the same time, I can use this opportunity to disgust my eldest uncle! How great is this?”
…
On their way home, Shen Ruojing cocked her head and propped her chin up as there was a look of interest in her eyes while she looked at Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen felt uneasy from her stare.
He sat up straight and at the start, pretended to be playing around with his phone. However, he finally couldn’t endure it and decided to look straight at her. “Jingjing, if you continue looking at me, I won’t be able to control anymore.”
Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows, “Control what?”
“…Control my urge to kiss you.”
“…”
Shen Ruojing’s gaze flashed slightly.
However, she didn’t retract her gaze and continued to stare at him fixedly. Her lips also curled slightly. “Is that so?”
Chu Cichen felt her hint and his body immediately tensed. His adam’s apple bobbed and he leaned closer…
Did he finally get her permission to kiss her?
But in the next instant, a shrill ringtone rang.
Chu Cichen. “!!”
His gaze was filled with resentment as he looked at Shen Ruojing’s phone. “Who is it?”
Who was so tactless? He vowed to note this person’s identity down in his mind.
Shen Ruojing glanced at her phone. “Your mother-in-law.”
“Ah?”
“My mother.” Shen Ruojing laughed arrogantly. “Do you want me to help convey your unhappiness to her?”
Chu Cichen immediately spoke righteously, “I’m not unhappy.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Shen Ruojing had teased him enough, so she picked up the phone after that.
Shen Qianhui’s joyful voice rang out from the other end. “Jingjing, I know where your grandfather is!!”
