I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 83: Worsening Condition

Translator: Lordbluefire

After class ended, Shen Ruojing fetched Chu Yu back to the Chu Manor.

There was no solution as Chu Yu wanted to go there for dinner.

After acknowledging this son of hers, Shen Ruojing was filled with guilt and couldn’t bear to reject his request.

However, when Chu Yu returned, he instantly ran upstairs to find Chu Tianye. The two of them huddled together and spoke in low voices, not allowing others to listen in.

After some time, Chu Tianye ran over. “Grandma, I want to attend the same school as Chu Yu!”

Today was the first time Chu Yu went to school after a period of break, and he heard that Teacher Miaomiao had recently been bullied by the principal. He initially wanted to tell his father about it so he could handle this. But after thinking about it, he decided to tell Chu Tianye instead. After all, Miaomiao was Chu Tianye’s teacher.

Chu Tianye had always been resistant to going to school, but now after hearing Chu Yu’s words, he decided to go and save Teacher Miaomiao!

Matriarch Chu had long since wanted to send him to school. Hence, she nodded. “Sure, no problem…”

She made a few calls and after making the arrangements for her grandchild, Chu Cichen was dragged down by Little Meng from the study for dinner downstairs.

Chu Cichen was as cold as ever and he had a look that stated ‘don’t antagonize me’ on his face. Even Little Meng felt that their father was terrifying during these two days. Hence, she obediently sat down and didn’t pass any of her vegetables to Chu Tianye.

The dinner atmosphere was extremely silent.

At 8 p.m., Shen Ruojing wanted to bring Chu Yu home after dinner.

However, Matriarch Chu felt some heartache, so she said, “Jingjing, summer is about to end and autumn is gradually coming. It is quite cold at night. Why don’t you just stay at our Chu Manor so you won’t have to keep running to and fro…Cichen, what do you think?”

Matriarch Chu cast a glance at Chu Cichen.

Shen Ruojing also glanced at him.

She had no plans to move in, but she wanted to see if his attitude had changed. Ever since Lin Wanru’s incident, they knew that the night five years ago was between the two of them. After that, their relationship had clearly changed from before.

In the past, Shen Ruojing was angry that he couldn’t control his lust.

But after knowing it was a misunderstanding, she no longer felt anger.

Also, she could clearly sense that it wasn’t that Chu Cichen had no feelings toward her…For example, at the hospital, when she was treating Father Lu, she could feel his concern for her.

She thought that the relationship between them had finally become somewhat warmer.

However, she didn’t expect him to simply glance at her before coldly speaking, “Miss Shen, this car is for you.”

He placed a car key on the table and continued directly to avoid gossip. “It will be more convenient for you to fetch Little Yu to and fro with this.”

“…”

The room fell silent.

Matriarch Chu hated iron for not becoming steel. She was anxious and wanted to say something but didn’t dare to say it.

However, Shen Ruojing’s gaze landed on the key.

She didn’t understand why his attitude suddenly changed again…However, since he had no intentions to become closer, she wouldn’t persist either.

The light in Shen Ruojing’s eyes fragmented into a thousand astral rivers.

Her voice was calm. “No need.”

She no longer glanced at Chu Cichen and directly stretched her hand out at Chu Yu. “Little Yu, let us leave.”

She held Chu Yu’s hands and left the Chu Manor with no hesitation.

Even after getting on her motorbike and driving away, she didn’t glance back.

Chu Cichen stood in the living room and glanced at the familiar silhouette of her departing back as he shook his head.

Matriarch Chu couldn’t help but sigh. “Cichen, why must you do this? The one you love is already gone, so you should let things go when it is time to do so. Humans always have to look and move forward.”

“What about you? Father has passed away for twenty years so why didn’t you move forward?”

Chu Cichen suddenly spoke, causing Matriarch Chu to be speechless.

Before Matriarch Chu could say anything else, Chu Cichen went upstairs. After entering the study, he glanced at the portrait that was hiding the switch to the secret room.

He eventually rubbed his glabella and walked to the balcony.

The night seemed to be enveloped in a gray veil. It was so tense that it felt hard to breathe.

Chu Cichen suddenly took out a cigar and clasped it between his fingers. After lighting it, he inhaled fiercely. Amidst the spiraling smoke, his eyes slowly turned red.

He missed her.

He recalled that the first time they met was in an underground gathering.

There were so many people there, but she walked straight toward him.

She was clad in a red dress and had a graceful figure and a beautiful smile. She lifted her chin slightly and passed him a cigar while asking, “Do you smoke?”

He subconsciously took the cigar and brought it toward his nose to sniff at it. “Nope.”

“Useless.”

Her ruby red lips uttered this word. She then lit a cigar for herself and inhaled deeply before exhaling a ring of smoke.

Her aura was sassy and uninhibited.

Her thick make-up was dazzling, but it was unknown why she bore some resemblance to Shen Ruojing who was bare-faced. This was especially so for the pride and carefreeness that unconsciously radiated from her.

Chu Cichen abruptly regained his senses.

He knew that he was observing Shen Ruojing simply because of the resemblance she shared with the woman he loved.

However, he couldn’t treat Shen Ruojing as her replacement.

That would be a form of blasphemy toward the woman he loved and injustice toward Shen Ruojing.

“Bzz, bzz, bzz…”

The vibration from his phone interrupted his thoughts.

Chu Cichen’s thoughts were derailed. He then picked up the phone and heard Lu Cheng anxiously speaking, “Bro Chen, Mr. Yun’s condition has worsened! He might not be able to last through tonight!”

Chu Cichen’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Lu Cheng lowered his voice. “Mr. Yun consumed Shen Ruojing’s medicine before. Sister Fang said that the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine must have conflicted with the special medicine she brought from overseas. Now, even Madam Yun is suspicious about it. Would this affect the relationship between the Yun Family and Shen Family?”

The Yun Family had just acknowledged the Shen Family as their relatives and something like this happened…This would definitely cause a barrier between Madam Yun and Shen Ruojing!

Chu Cichen was silent for a moment before instructing, “Keep that medicine and immediately get someone to check the composition of ingredients. If the pills are not effective in treating the illness but won’t cause any mortal harm, you can let Madam Yun and the Yun Family know the results. But if the investigation results are bad, silently destroy all the pills and leave no trace behind.”

“…Yes.”

After hanging up, Chu Cichen headed down. Just so coincidentally, he saw Matriarch Chu heading down with a change of clothes too. Evidently, she had just received the news.

The two of them sat in the family car and instructed the driver to drive to the hospital.

Matriarch Chu suddenly asked in a low voice, “Cichen, could it be that Yun Zhengyang became like this because he ate Jingjing’s medicine?”

Even Matriarch Chu was suspecting whether this was the case. There was no need to mention Madam Yun and the Yun Family.

Chu Cichen suddenly recalled the scene where Shen Ruojing saved the old man at the hospital…His eyes gleamed and he decided to call Shen Ruojing.

–

Right now in the hospital, the atmosphere was in complete chaos.

Yun Zhengyang’s blood count kept decreasing and the doctors were all helpless.

Madam Yun’s eyes were red from crying. She panicked and screamed helplessly, “Quickly save him. Please save him!”

The main doctor frowned. “Madam Yun, this situation is just like before and we have administered all emergency treatment measures. However, they are all useless. Previously, what measures did you guys take that caused Mr. Yun’s condition to become better?”
