Chapter 18: Miss Shen, Let’s Have A Talk

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Shen Ruojing heard sounds coming from the entrance and quickly headed downstairs. She then saw the group from the Chu Family.

Chu Cimo was pinching Chu Tianye’s face. “You’re alive? You didn’t die?”

Chu Tianye: “… If I’m dead, can Uncle burn some incense paper for me?”

Chu Cimo’s lips twitched. “Why are you so obsessed with money? By the way, I’ve figured it out. You’re not my son. Return the one million dollars I gave you back.”

“I refuse.” Chu Tianye held onto his bank card that was in his pocket. “This card only allows for money to go in and not out!”

Chu Cimo wanted to say more when Matriarch Chu slapped his head. “You’ve given it out to a child, yet you’re still thick-skinned enough to ask for it back?”

Chu Cimo: “He scammed that money from me!”

“It’s his capability to have been able to scam it from you! If you’ve been scammed, then accept it!”

After saying that, Matriarch Chu looked at Shen Ruojing and glared at Chu Cichen, who was next to her and wasn’t saying anything. She then coughed and said, “Little Ye, can you bring me around and show me your room?”

Chu Tianye’s eyes lit up. “… Alright! Alright! Grandmother, come this way.”

Chu Cimo looked toward Shen Ruojing. “Hey, woman, you…”

Before he could finish his words, Matriarch Chu pinched his ear and brought him to go to Chu Tianye’s room as well. “We’ll go and check out Little Ye’s room together.”

Chu Cimo wanted to reject her. “I’m not interested in a kid’s room.”

“No, you’re interested.” Matriarch Chu dragged him away forcibly, leaving some space for Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen. She knew that the two of them had things to talk about.

Shen Ruojing stood at the entryway’s stairs, and her peach blossom eyes lowered. She was expressionless and seemed a little indifferent.

When Chu Cichen looked at how lively Chu Tianye was, what else did he not understand?

He squinted his eyes and asked, “Do you have detoxification pills?”

On the way here, they had been told by the doctor that back then, the detoxification pills were only circulated within a small circle. The price wasn’t high, but they were hard to get.

Shen Ruojing replied with an “en”, her attitude still clearly cold. “The children are fine, so Mr. Chu can go back now.”

She was angry… Chu Cichen frowned. No one had ever dared to treat him like this before.

Lin Wanru didn’t even dare to act intimately with him by making use of Chu Yu. She kept a safe distance from him, knowing how to advance or retreat appropriately. However, he still felt disgusted toward her when he looked at her.

However, to think that this woman kept pestering him from the first time they met. And now, she even dared to lose her temper with him!

But on the account that she had been put through grief today, he wasn’t going to hold it against her.

A momentary silence appeared between the two of them.

Upstairs.

Chu Tianye explained on the way, “My grandparents went to the supermarket to shop for groceries! Paternal grandmother, this is my room and that is my sister’s room. She’s resting now, so how about we go to take a look at my room first?”

Chu Tianye’s room was decorated simply, and the colors used were mainly blue and white.

“Grandmother, have a seat!”

Chu Tianye let Matriarch Chu sit down in front of his desk. Then, his expression turned into shock, as if he was scared that Matriarch Chu would see something. He quickly hid a book that was placed on the table and didn’t stand out at all, saying, “This is my diary, you mustn’t look at it!”

When Matriarch Chu heard this, her eyes lit up.

This was her beloved grandson’s diary!

She coughed and educated him. “Little Ye, you’re only five years old, so you don’t have any secrets to keep. Let Grandmother help you check to see if you wrote any words incorrectly!”

Chu Tianye broke into an embarrassed smile and then sighed. “Alright then… but you definitely mustn’t look at page 38~”

After that, he said, “I’ll go call sister over!”

The child walked to the door, and before he left the room, he turned back and repeated, “Remember, you definitely mustn’t look at page 38~”

Matriarch Chu felt as if her heart was itching as if it was scratched by a cat. “…”

After the child left, she hurriedly opened up page 38 and saw a row of squiggly words.

“Today is my birthday, but Mommy had to work till very late just so that she could buy a birthday cake for my sister and me. My heart aches so much for Mommy.”

“Mommy told me to make a wish. My wish is for my bank card to suddenly have 20 million dollars. With that, I will be able to provide for Mommy.”

“I haven’t told anyone about this wish before, because the wish wouldn’t come true if I were to say it out loud. I won’t show anyone this page of my diary either~”

Matriarch Chu’s eyes turned red and she sighed. “It hasn’t been easy for Shen Ruojing to take care of two children for so many years. It’s no wonder Little Ye is so obsessed with money. It’s all because their life has been too hard.”

Chu Cimo snorted. “Our family is so rich, but you’re still so obsessed over money. It can be seen that this aspect is inherited…”

Bang!

Chu Cimo was hit on the head again and Matriarch Chu asked furiously, “You’ve received the dividend payout from the company this month, right?”

Chu Cimo held onto his wallet. “Mom, what do you want?”

“This is the only birthday wish that your nephew has. How can we not fulfill it? Hurry up! Transfer 20 million dollars to him!”

“Why don’t you do it?”

“Oh, I can’t bear to part with my money.”

Chu Cimo: “?”

He tried to find an excuse, “I don’t have his bank account number…”

“It’s written here!” Matriarch Chu handed him the diary, her eyes were red. “It’s written at the back!”

Chu Cimo took a glance and realized that Chu Tianye’s bank account number was really written at the back of the diary. Moreover, this was also written: I know that God will help to fulfill my birthday wish, so I’ve written my bank account number here, just in case God transfers the money to the wrong account.

Chu Cimo: “!!”

Why was he always the one to get hurt?

In Chu Xiaomeng’s bedroom, the child was hugging her dinosaur cloth doll. “Brother, didn’t you say to go to your room?”

“Wait a moment~” Chu Tianye’s eyes were glistening. When he received the message from the bank that the money had been transferred to him, he grinned and said, “Come, let’s go bring them a plate of watermelons!”

Chu Xiaomeng: “… For Uncle?”

“What Uncle? That’s an important customer!”

“…”

Peals of laughter rang out from upstairs, which contrasted with the coldness between Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen took a look at the second floor, and his countenance turned better. He said rationally, “Miss Shen, why don’t we have a talk?”

Shen Ruojing sneered and said sourly, “Talk about why you two-timed?”

Chu Chichen’s expression turned cold. He had never been mocked like this in his life. “Miss Shen, we’re not enemies. Why do you have to show such great hostility? Moreover, other than not trusting your words in doing a DNA test in time, I didn’t do any other thing that hurt you…”

Before he could finish his words, Jing Zhen’s voice rang out from outside.

“Honey, durians are really too expensive. We mustn’t buy them again. The damned Chu Family cut me off from my job, so I don’t have any films to act in recently. I don’t have any income.

“Moreover, Matriarch Shen has chased you out of the company under the Chu Family’s orders. They are not going to give us an allowance anymore. We also don’t have much savings left and will need to spend sparingly.

“Little Ye is the most pitiful… He’s so young, but to think that the Chu Family gave the kindergarten orders, causing him to be unable to go to school. We have to hurry up and earn money so that he can go to a good school.

“What feud do we have with the Chu Family that they have to be so merciless to us?”

Chu Cichen: “??”
