I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 25: Why Doesn’t His Mommy Love Him?

Shen Qianhui turned and looked at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Qianhui had never learned these musical instruments before. After all, how would Matriarch Shen be willing to spend money for her to go to lessons?

But after Shen Qianhui started earning money, she enrolled Shen Ruojing in various musical classes.

However,?Shen Ruojing’s interest span was very short. After going for two lessons, she would find it boring and say, “I’m not going, it’s a waste of time.”

Shen Qianhui also didn’t force her.

One could say that the rumors about Shen Ruojing being “ignorant and disliking learning” was actually due to Shen Qianhui’s pampering.

But even so, she had heard her daughter playing a few musical pieces when her daughter was bored at home.

She felt that her daughter wasn’t in any way inferior to Lin Wanru!

She didn’t know if she was biased, but she felt that her daughter’s music was more pleasant to the ear.

However, the others laughed.

“What is she playing?”

“Forget it, I don’t want my ears to be filled with filth!”

“Does Miss Shen know how to play the Gavotte, which my son played a few days ago?”

“Isn’t your child six years old?”

“Yup, that’s a children’s song. That’s basic knowledge. If Miss Shen knows a little about music, she should know this, right?”

“…”

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled when she heard everyone’s discussion. She stood up and caused everyone’s voices to abruptly stop. After that, she straightened her clothes and smiled. “I’m going to the restroom.”

This bunch of people weren’t qualified to hear her playing.

After she left, the scene became noisy again. A person mocked.

“She must be so frightened that she peed her pants, right? Since she was young, she has been known to be a waste of life. How can she be compared to the intelligent Miss Lin? If I had a daughter like Shen Ruojing, I wouldn’t even dare to face anyone!”

“Yup, she doesn’t know manners. How can she talk like this to an elder?”

“She has no discipline and has no one in her eyes. She is merely a vase!”

Hearing this, Shen Qianhui was so angry that her fingers were trembling. Just when she wanted to rebut, an imposing voice suddenly rang out. “My daughter doesn’t know how to play the piano, so does that mean that I cannot face anyone?”

The scene instantly fell silent.

Matriarch Chu coldly glanced at these people. “Learning the piano is just a hobby. Does someone like us need to depend on playing music to make a living? From my point of view, Miss Shen is excellent. She is adorable and straightforward. Her appearance is much prettier compared to everyone here.”

Hearing this, no one dared to speak anymore.

Everyone wanted to fawn on Madam Lin but didn’t dare to offend Matriarch Chu.

Hence, Lin Wanru clenched her fists tightly. She knew that Matriarch Chu was very protective of her own people.

Since Lin Wanru had Chu Yu as her son, Matriarch Chu would always shield her. Regardless of what she did, Matriarch Chu would back her up. But now, Matriarch Chu had changed!

Lin Wanru’s countenance changed and she stood up, walking toward Matriarch Chu. After that, she lifted the glass of red wine in her hand and fawned, “Matriarch Chu is correct. Playing the piano is just a hobby. Let me apologize to all the elders here.”

Matriarch Chu’s eyes were glowing brightly as she looked at her.

It was unknown why, but ever since Shen Ruojing appeared, she would involuntarily compare Lin Wanru with her.

Shen Ruojing didn’t want to play, so she directly said that there was no need to play.

Lin Wanru was clearly angry that Matriarch Chu was shielding Shen Ruojing, but she didn’t dare to express it.

Hence, Matriarch Chu sighed and lowered her voice in explanation. “She’s after all Little Ye and Little Meng’s mother. How can we not leave some face for her?”

Lin Wanru clenched her fingers and her smile stiffened. “You are right.”

After she toasted, she smiled. “I’m going to the washroom first.”

In the back garden of the villa.

Shen Ruojing naturally didn’t go to the washroom. She went out of the banquet hall and walked around the Lin Family.

Actually, even up until now, she still hadn’t confirmed if Chu Yu was her son.

The nurse’s words only caused her to be skeptical.

After all, in the past five years of her life, she only had twins. How would there suddenly be a third child?

However, this wouldn’t affect her decision to save him, and it had also given her an excuse to do so.

She had to save that little fellow before she could do a DNA test, right?

She didn’t expect that she would become a Saint one day… Shen Ruojing smiled in a self-mocking manner and continued to survey the surroundings.

Even now, she wasn’t sure where Chu Yu was locked up, but she didn’t exclude the possibility that he might be here. If not, why couldn’t the Chu Family find him even after they had searched the entire city? The Lin Family might have already moved Chu Yu here.

She glanced around and checked the external structure of the Lin Manor.

There would surely be secret chambers in such a large villa.

All of a sudden, she saw a familiar figure flashing past—it was Lin Wanru!

Shen Ruojing’s eyes brightened as she silently followed behind her.

Lin Wanru walked around the back garden and glanced at the surroundings. After confirming that no one was following her, she then slipped into a three-story house at the edge of the garden.

After she entered, Shen Ruojing emerged from one of the rockeries. She agilely moved to the door and could see Lin Wanru vanish after she entered a room.

Since she disappeared…it meant that there was a secret chamber inside this room.

Shen Ruojing then surveyed the house and eventually, her gaze landed at a location on the second floor. Over there, there was an exhaust pipe hidden in an inconspicuous space.

A normal house would have windows, why did they need an exhaust pipe?

She narrowed her eyes and quietly climbed up.

Lin Wanru opened the door to the secret chamber.

After entering, one could see five burly men playing cards. After the men saw Lin Wanru, they nodded in greeting and no longer cared about her.

As for Chu Yu, he was blindfolded and abandoned at a corner. His lips were dry and he was on his last breath.

Lin Wanru slowly squatted before Chu Yu as her voice turned sharp. “Do you want to drink water?”

Chu Yu’s little head nodded.

Lin Wanru lifted a bowl of water from the side and passed it to his lips.

Just when Chu Yu opened his mouth in haste and wanted to drink, Lin Wanru tossed the bowl of water onto his face. “Drink water? You are useless, what qualifications do you have to drink?!”

Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng merely stayed in the Chu Manor for a few days, and Matriarch Chu was already so protective of Shen Ruojing.

However, Chu Yu had lived in the Chu Manor for five years! But she was still an outsider.

Lin Wanru seemed possessed, not remembering the care that Matriarch Chu showed her through these many years. She had also forgotten that many people fawned on her just because of Matriarch Chu.

She didn’t seem to recall how Matriarch Chu had tried to get Chu Cichen to be with her, or how she had used the Chu Family’s name to wreak havoc, but Matriarch Chu had never questioned her.

She only remembered that for the sake of the two children today, Matriarch Chu had humiliated her at the banquet!

Pak!

She ruthlessly slapped Chu Yu’s face and pushed the weak him, who hadn’t eaten anything, to the ground. After that, she rushed over and lifted him, venting all her unhappiness.

“Useless thing! Trash!”

Chu Yu’s entire body was trembling. Although his eyes were masked and he couldn’t see, he knew that the person abusing him was his own mother!

When the burly men beat him, he hoped that his father would come and save him. However, at this moment he was filled with complete despair.

But why?

Why would other people’s mothers love their children but his own mother didn’t love him?

At this moment, Shen Ruojing had just climbed up and arrived outside the secret chamber. She saw a vent and looked inside.
