Chapter 34: Traces of Their Past

Matriarch Shen looked at him in surprise, and her heart sank. “Which Chu family?”

In Sea City, the Chu Family was a sensitive word.

Although there were many people with the surname Chu, only the most influential family in the city could instill fear in everyone’s heart.

However, she immediately came around to things.

She had seen the two young masters of the Chu Family—Chu Cimo and Chu Ciyuan—before. Neither of them was this man in front of her, so how could he be from that Chu Family? This was especially when this person looked exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. Although he seemed cold, her looks were comparable to Jing Zhen’s. Hence, he must be a young actor who had just debuted.

Although Chu Cichen’s aura was strong, Jing Zhen would sometimes give Matriarch Shen the wrong impression in a similar way, so she didn’t care at all.

She sneered and sized up Chu Cichen. “Are you the father of the two children?”

Chu Cichen replied, “That’s right.”

Matriarch Shen asked, “Which company’s newly signed celebrity are you? Don’t you know the rules in Sea City?! If the children are yours, then so be it. Why mention the Chu Family? Those who don’t know any better might mistake you for being from that family!”

She pointed upward to emphasize her respect for the Chu Family.

She had just said this when a voice rang out in the living room. “Bro, what are you guys doing outside?”

As Chu Cimo spoke, he came rushing out. He only threw a glance at Matriarch Shen and then looked at Shen Ruojing fiercely.

Matriarch Shen, who saw him coming out, was shocked.

Chu Cimo was a famous second-generation profligate in the Sea City. He only lived his life idly. Since young, he would lead a group of second-generation profligates to eat and drink, not doing any serious work. Therefore, many people knew him.

Even Shen Ruotong was dumbstruck and she tugged at Matriarch Shen’s arm.

Only then did Matriarch Shen come to her senses. She looked at Chu Cichen in disbelief and then asked while stuttering, “Young, Young Master... Which brother of yours is this?”

Chu Cimo rolled his eyes. “Heh, the only one who can be called Bro by me of course is my oldest brother! How could it be that illegitimate son?”

Matriarch Shen: ‘!!!’

She was flabbergasted and looked at Chu Cichen in disbelief. Never would she have expected that the Chu Family’s successor, who had now become the head of the Chu Family, was actually so young!

She then looked at Shen Ruojing. She suddenly recalled that when Madam Lin had gone to the Shen Family’s manor to look for her back then, she mentioned that Shen Ruojing had made a ruckus at Matriarch Chu’s banquet, saying that her child was the Chu Family’s young master.

Hence, she abruptly realized something and rushed up to Shen Qianhui, holding onto her hands. “H-Her children... they are Chu Cichen’s?”

Shen Qianhui looked at her in despair.

She didn’t mind that her adoptive mother abandoned her repeatedly. However, when Matriarch Shen suggested marrying Shen Ruojing to the Li Family’s delirious son, it completely infuriated her.

Shen Qianhui valued kinship a lot.

However, she knew the difference between close and distant relatives as well!

Matriarch Shen was her adoptive mother, while Shen Ruojing was a child she had given birth to. Shen Ruojing was her daughter!

Matriarch Shen’s behavior today had crossed her bottom line.

Hence, Shen Qianhui completely came to her senses.

She said with a cold attitude, “... This has nothing to do with you.”

Noticing that Shen Qianhui wasn’t even willing to call her ‘Mother’ anymore, then at the thought of her actions earlier, Matriarch Shen abruptly realized that Shen Qianhui had really gotten angry.

Matriarch Shen wanted to say more, but Chu Cimo looked toward her impatiently. “Who are you? Didn’t you see that we’re waiting here? My mother is still waiting to discuss the marriage between the two families! If you have no other matters, then leave!”

How could Matriarch Shen dare to pester further? She smiled sheepishly and backed off. “So there are really important guests present. Then Qianhui, you guys can go take care of the important matters first. Jingjing, you guys can talk first. Your younger sister and I will be making a move first.”

The few of them only returned to the living room after seeing Matriarch Shen and Shen Ruotong get into the car.

Shen Qianhui’s eyes were red as she looked at Matriarch Chu.

After what had taken place earlier, they were definitely going to be looked down on, right?

As Shen Qianhui was thinking this, Matriarch Chu stood up and walked toward her before holding her hand. “Madam Shen, I’ve long since heard of you all these years in Sea City. I didn’t expect that there’d be a day for us to have such an affinity! Miss Shen has given birth to triplets for our Chu Family. We’ll definitely not ignore this!”

Matriarch Chu went straight to the point. “So, let us discuss the wedding date for the two of them, shall we?”

The moment she said this, three small heads that were in the corridor upstairs instantly looked down.

Shen Ruojing was about to say that she didn’t agree with this when Chu Cichen beat her to it. “I don’t agree.”

Matriarch Chu subconsciously wanted to scold him, but after seeing Chu Cichen’s deep gaze, the words got stuck in her throat. She didn’t dare to say them and could only glare at Chu Cimo angrily.

Chu Cimo: ‘?’

Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing and thought of what Matriarch Shen had said just now. He actually felt some unwillingness to see her being treated like this.

As she had given birth to three children for him, she couldn’t get married and was looked down on...

Chu Cichen spoke up sincerely, “Miss Shen, I can’t marry you. But if you agree to it, I can promise to let you bring the three children with you and move in with the Chu Family.”

Shen Ruojing: ‘?’

She looked straight at him with her indifferent peach blossom eyes. “Till now, you still don’t know me, right?”

Chu Cichen frowned. “That’s right.”

“Is that so...” Shen Ruojing paused. “Then you can scram.”

“…”

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. No one had expected that Shen Ruojing would tell the people from the Chu Family to scram!

Chu Cichen’s countenance turned grim.

Matriarch Chu opened her mouth, but she knew that her son was the one who had let Shen Ruojing down. She said, “Then what about the children?”

Almost at the same time, Chu Yu’s voice rang out from upstairs. “I want to be with Mommy!”

Chu Tianye: ‘?’

F*ck!

A bootlicker had come to his house, causing him to be slower in bootlicking!

Chu Tianye quickly said, “I’ll be wherever Mommy is!”

Chu Xiaomeng nodded to express her agreement with her two brothers’ words.

Matriarch Chu: ‘...’

Matriarch Chu wanted to say more when Jing Zhen stood up. He had a tall stature and exuded a manly aura as he spoke, “Since that’s the case, Matriarch Chu, please leave.”

Chu Cimo jumped up. “Hey! Shen Ruojing, don’t go overboard! The children are the Chu Family’s children, so why would they stay with you? Let me tell you, we must take all three children with us. Otherwise, you can wait for us to take legal action!”

Matriarch Chu reproached Chu Cimo, “Shut up!”

She then looked at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, I know that you’re aggrieved. After we go back, I’ll try to convince Cichen. However, you need to think from his point of view. You suddenly came to us with the children, and he didn’t know you prior to this either. Hence, he would definitely need some time to get accustomed to this relationship. But don’t worry, I’ll make him accept you...”

Chu Cichen frowned. At the thought of how she had said previously that she liked him and wanted to move in with the Chu Family, his voice turned even colder. “Miss Shen, such tricks of playing hard to get are enough after one or two times. What are you up to again?”

What was she up to?

Shen Ruojing looked toward him and then directly headed into the bedroom.

While everyone was feeling puzzled, she quickly came out again. However, this time around, she was holding a photo frame in her hand.

She walked up to Chu Cichen, threw the photo frame into his hand, and then pointed to the person on it, asking, “Is this you?”

Chu Cichen lowered his head and when he saw the photo, his pupils contracted. This familiar scene...

Shen Ruojing’s cold and sneering voice rang out next to his ears. “Mr. Chu, five years ago, you said that you love me. But five years later, you suddenly don’t recognize me. I also want to ask you this. What are you up to?”
