I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 149: What Exactly Happened Back Then

Translator: Lordbluefire

Fang Panxia bit her lips.

The calming pills were developed by Divine Doctor Jing. Back then, a lot of it had been sold to the public, and she had specially kept a few of them in order to cure Dugu Xiao’s headaches. They’d allow her to handle the situation she was in yesterday.

Before she knew that Shen Ruojing was the divine doctor, she had been secretly feeling overjoyed, thinking that there wouldn’t be any issue with her treating Dugu Xiao’s headaches.

However, she understood the medicinal effects of the calming pills.

Taking one pill would be effective for at least an entire day.

Only 18 hours had passed so far, so how could his headache act up again?

When she said this, everyone turned to look at her.

Fang Panxia gritted her teeth. “It’s alright, I’ll go over and take a look right away.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Old Gao and Chu Yuan. “I’ll be going to check things out.”

“Hurry up and go!” Old Gao looked very nervous. “You’ve done great service for the Chu Corporation and you must heal Dugu Xiao. Curing him would be considered saving the Chu Corporation. You might not know this, but he is exceptionally violent when he gets a headache. It’s said that when one offended him in normal circumstances, he’d only make them bankrupt. However, if one were to offend him when he had a headache, he could have them torn up into pieces!”

When Fang Panxia heard this, she was badly frightened.

She bit her lips and turned to leave.

After she left, Old Gao felt even more unsettled. He looked at Chu Yuan. “Did you see that? It’s really scary to get involved with people like Dugu Xiao. It’s all the fault of someone who doesn’t know how to cherish herself and ends up piquing his interest…”

Chu Yuan frowned. “Old Gao, mind your words when you speak!”

“Did I say anything wrong?” Old Gao was very irritated. “If she were to just stay at home, would Dugu Xiao get to know her? Wasn’t it all because she went out to get attention, getting involved in the entertainment circle that he got interested in her? Which influential family’s madam would constantly be in the limelight? Aren’t they all dignified ladies who stay at home to take care of their husbands and children? I don’t expect her to be able to help out in the business as Miss Fang can, but just hope that she doesn’t create any trouble and live a peaceful life. There are so many people in Sea City. Why didn’t Dugu Xiao fancy other people? Why did it have to be her?”

Shen Ruojing, who was upstairs, narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

Wasn’t this the typical victim-blaming theory?

It was really upsetting.

She then went downstairs and walked up to Old Gao.

Old Gao looked at her and frowned. “What do you want?”

Bang!

Shen Ruojing kicked Old Gao in the stomach, causing him to fall to the floor and even slid backward for a distance.

Old Gao held onto his stomach and said angrily, “Shen Ruojing, what are you doing? How dare you beat me up!”

Before he could finish his words, Shen Ruojing raised her peach blossom eyes and said coldly, “You should try to look for the problem on yourself. There are so many people in Sea City. Why do I not hit other people but only hit you?”

Old Gao. “??”

He crawled up to his feet, holding onto his stomach from the intense pain, and shouted, “You shrew! You’re a shrew! It’s no wonder CEO Chu hasn’t given you any proper status! It’s simply a daydream for someone like you to marry into the Chu Family!”

“Who says she doesn’t have any status?”

The moment Old Gao said this, an icy-cold voice rang out from the door.

Chu Cichen had come home after he was done dealing with the matters at the office.

Old Gao turned and saw Chu Cichen’s tall and big figure at the door. Chu Cichen’s back was facing the light, making it hard for others to see his expression clearly or discern his emotions.

The man’s voice was deep but powerful as if he was making an announcement to the whole world in this villa. “She’s the mother of my children and also my fiancée. Is this status enough?”

Old Gao trembled, feeling a hint of killing intent and chill emanating from Chu Cichen. Hence, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “CEO… CEO Chu… It’s enough, it’s enough…”

Chu Cichen was raging inside.

He had not expected that she would be put through such grief despite having moved into the Chu Manor.

Even though he had decided to keep his distance from her, he wasn’t willing to see her getting bullied.

Chu Cichen took a step forward and Chu Yuan quickly stood between him and Old Gao, trying to calm down Chu Cichen’s fury. “Cichen, Old Gao is a senior in the company. He’s here to sell his shares today, and he won’t have any relations with the company in the future. Let’s just let the matter rest here.”

When Chu Cichen first took over the company, he took the company by storm and implemented a lot of changes. Back then, he had received many objections.

If Chu Cichen did anything overboard to Old Gao, the other seniors in the company would feel saddened as well. This was why Chu Yuan stepped in.

Chu Cichen’s gaze turned deep. “Sell his shares?”

Old Gao heaved a sigh of relief as well. “That’s right, I’m selling my shares… Erm, where is Matriarch Chu? I’m here to sell my shares…”

Chu Cichen looked at Lu Cheng who was behind him. “You go.”

Lu Cheng nodded.

Old Gao let out a long breath and when he was about to leave with Lu Cheng, he suddenly heard Chu Cichen say, “Sell it at market price.”

Old Gao. “??”

The stock prices had plunged a lot. If he were to sell based on the market price, wouldn’t he lose one-third of his assets?!

Old Gao immediately broke out in cold sweat. “CEO Chu, you said that you’d buy the shares based on their original price!”

“Is that so?” Chu Cichen stared at him. “From now on, we’ll buy based on the market price.”

Lu Cheng crossed his arms, his floral shirt making him appear very amorous. “Mr. Gao, are you still selling the shares? It’s fine if you’re not. That’s just what we wish for…”

If he didn’t sell the shares, wouldn’t their price continue to drop?!

Old Gao felt a great heartache as if his heart was dripping blood. “Chu Cichen, are you going to treat me like this over a woman?! You’ve been bewitched by this vixen!”

Lu Cheng smiled and said, “Hmmm? The stock price has dropped by another $5. Isn’t it going too fast? Mr. Gao, why don’t you talk for a little longer? Then we’ll transact at 3 p.m. when the market has closed, alright?”

“…” Old Gao was panicking.

He naturally knew that the Chu Corporation’s stock price had plunged by several billion overall!

He gritted his teeth and said, “Sell! I’ll sell them!”

After signing the contract with Lu Cheng, he cursed, “Just wait. The Chu Corporation will be destroyed by this woman’s hands sooner or later!”

After saying that, he spat and left in big strides.

Shen Ruojing paid him no need but just grinned as she looked at Chu Cichen, her voice low and soft. “Fiancée?”

Her peach blossom eyes were gleaming.

Right now, the cold and killing aura Chu Cichen had given off earlier instantly disappeared and his disposition changed.

He turned his head and coughed. “I still have an international meeting to attend.”

“Oh.” Shen Ruojing made way for him. When he passed by her, she smiled. “I didn’t agree to it.”

“…”

Chu Cichen paused slightly in his footsteps and then headed upstairs.

He had just entered the study when Chu Yuan came in after him. “Old Gao only has that little bit of shares and they aren’t worth much. You shouldn’t have done that. He has gone to the company’s chat group to curse… Right now, the entire company is doubting your ability and even said that Miss Shen is a vixen…”

–

Downstairs, Shen Ruojing’s phone rang.

She took a look and then returned to her room before she picked up the call.

It was from Ye Lu. “They said that they can let you go and give him treatment. I made an appointment for it to be tomorrow morning.”

“Alright.”

Shen Ruojing was about to hang up the call when Ye Lu asked, “Baby, erm, didn’t you see the post I put up on the dark web? What that person replied to me is true, right?”

Shen Ruojing happened to be in front of the computer. When she heard this, her fingers quickly pressed on two hotkeys. After that, the computer’s screen instantly turned black and a flickering cursor appeared.

She then typed in an Internet address and pressed enter. What popped out was a login screen.

This was the dark web.

It was a certain underground website overseas, and many people performed under-the-table transactions here. One wouldn’t be able to get in without an account and a unique password.

Once her login account appeared, it would surely cause a huge commotion.

Therefore Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze and typed a few keys. The screen then skipped past the login screen and entered the website.

All these took only five seconds.

She then did a brief search and saw the question that Ye Lu had posted.

[It is my day again today~]: Asking out of curiosity. What exactly happened between 517 and 518 back then?

Everyone was commenting on how this person was very courageous to dare ask this question.

However, an account by the name of ‘Leng Ling’ replied with the truth.
