Chapter 15

Translator: Lordbluefire

Matriarch Chu’s voice was very low and she intentionally hid this from Lin Wanru, so Lin Wanru didn’t hear it.

Chu Cimo was currently speaking with Shen Ruojing. “On account of the children, I will reluctantly accept and marry you. We can’t possibly let our children grow up without their mother.”

Shen Ruojing: “...”

She didn’t plan to join him in this farce. Hence, she lowered her head and looked at Chu Yu, but one couldn’t read her expression. After that, she spoke to Matriarch Chu, “Farewell.”

After saying that, she pulled her clothes from Chu Yu’s finger and walked away.

Chu Yu wanted to chase her, but Lin Wanru hugged him. “Little Yu, don’t make trouble. Let the guest leave.”

“Release me, you don’t have the right to care about me!” Chu Yu ruthlessly bit Lin Wanru’s wrist and struggled free because he wanted to chase after Shen Ruojing. But when he reached the entrance, Shen Ruojing had driven away.

Lin Wanru felt pain from the bite. As her patience was completely exhausted, she angrily shouted, “I’m your mother, how can I not care about you?!”

“My mother?”

Chu Yu’s back faced her and his shoulders sagged. His voice contained a toughness that was rare to hear in children. “It’s all because of you that the beautiful aunty hates me…”

Hearing this, Lin Wanru was so angry that her entire body was trembling.

She had raised an ungrateful cur!

Chu Yu turned his head and asked Chu Tianye, “Will the beautiful aunty dislike me?”

Chu Tianye touched his curly hair. “I don’t know, but don’t worry, I won’t make things worse for you.”

Chu Yu lowered his head sadly.

Chu Cimo basically ignored the two fellows. He only had eyes for his ‘genius daughter’ Chu Xiaomeng. However, the little girl had opened her backpack and was searching through it.

There was a copy of [General Relativity].

A [Study of Gravity].

A 17th-order Rubik’s Cube.

And lastly, a box of twenty-four strange beverages that were packaged exquisitely. However, they had no labels and should be something self-made.

He asked, “What’s this?”

Chu Xiaomeng didn’t speak, so Chu Tianye explained, “These are the nutrients mommy mixed for me and my younger sister!”

He ran over and took two bottles out. After contemplating, he passed one of them to Chu Yu. “I’ll treat you to a drink, don’t be sad anymore!”

After hearing that this was something personally made by the beautiful aunty, Chu Yu’s eyes brightened. “Sure.”

Seeing that the three children were interacting harmoniously, Matriarch Chu looked at Lin Wanru and said, “I need to take a trip somewhere, let’s go together.”

“...Sure.”

Lin Wanru clenched her fists with hatred. When her vision landed on those beverages, a venomous look appeared in her eyes.

(If those two children are not handled, something will go wrong sooner or later…)

(Shen Ruojing, you are the one who forced me!)

She followed Matriarch Chu and left the Chu Manor.

–

Shen Ruojing returned to her house.

Just when she was preparing to go up, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

Her expression drastically changed.

She had installed an app on her children’s mobile phones so they could send her a warning if they were in danger. At this moment, the sounds of two warnings rang out together, and they were even more deafening compared to the sounds yesterday.

Hence, she took out her phone to verify their positions and discovered that they were still in the Chu Manor. She immediately rushed out after that!

She sped all the way and finally arrived at the Chu Manor.

However, she discovered that the gate was already open, and the people inside were in a panic. A bunch of doctors were currently rushing to the living room.

She hurriedly followed behind them.

Before she entered, she already heard Lin Wanru shouting angrily. “Why are you guys still caring about those two little bastards? Quickly look at Little Yu! Don’t you all know how to differentiate who is more important? Little Yu is Cichen’s son, so if something happens to him, Chu Cichen will definitely not spare you all!”

Shen Ruojing was stunned. Did something happen to Chu Yu too?

The moment she entered, she saw that the living room was in chaos.

There were around eight doctors surrounding the sofa. Unable to see the situation, she walked toward them, but all of a sudden, she heard a weak but familiar voice. “Water, water…”

Shen Ruojing abruptly turned and saw Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng lying on the ground. The two children felt extreme pain in their stomachs, and their bodies curled up from the pain. Chu Tianye’s head was covered in sweat, and his lips were also pale. He was currently puking. Also, he felt extremely thirsty and wanted to drink water…

But everyone was surrounding Chu Yu, no one cared about him…

Shen Ruojing suppressed the anger in her heart and first rushed toward Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng.

Chu Xiaomeng had already fainted from the pain.

Hence, Shen Ruojing tapped a few acupoints on Chu Tianye’s body to alleviate his pain.

Only then did Chu Tianye open his eyes. After he saw Shen Ruojing, he had an expression of being wronged on his face. “Mommy, could it be that I and sister aren’t daddy’s children? Why don’t they want to treat us?”

Shen Ruojing’s anger surged even hotter.

She placed her hand on Chu Tianye’s pulse to check his condition.

At this moment, a doctor walked in from outside. “The results are out. The three children drank daylily juice!”

“Si~”

After hearing this, the sound of everyone gasping could be heard.

An urgent and icy voice suddenly rang out from the door. “Since you all now have the answer, why are you guys still not treating the children?”

Chu Cichen, who had received the news, finally rushed back.

The panicking Chu Family finally felt at ease with his presence.

One of the doctors sighed. “Such poison is usually used for weeding. The toxicity is too strong, and it is fatal often with a single mouthful! In addition, there are basically no antidotes for this!”

Chu Cichen frowned as he felt extremely pressured. “There has to be a way. Think!”

The scene fell silent, and the doctor-in-charge here spoke, “A few years ago, Professor Z researched and concocted a type of detoxification pill. If we can give them the pill within half an hour, the poison should be detoxified!”

Chu Cichen heaved a sigh of relief.

But at the next moment, the doctor-in-charge sighed. “But I only have a single pill of it.”

Professor Z’s medicine was too hard to purchase. Even if they wanted to buy some now, it wouldn’t be in time.

Everyone looked at the two children in the corner.

At this moment, Lin Wanru’s eyes gleamed, and she suddenly shouted loudly, “Shen Ruojing, the poison has been verified to be in the beverages you gave. I know you hate me, but why did you want to poison my child to death? You are even willing to drag your own children in. What do they count for in your eyes?!”

She directly shouted to the doctor-in-charge, “She doesn’t care about their lives at all. Hence, give the antidote to Little Yu!”

“Based on what?” Chu Cimo had just arrived.?“Are you going to ignore my children?”

Lin Wanru bit her lips. “She is the one who poisoned them, and she has two children. Even if we gave her the pill, she wouldn’t know which to save. So, we might as well save Little Yu!”

She looked at Chu Cichen and enunciated each word slowly, “Little Yu is your son!”

“Shut up!”

Chu Cichen’s brows were tightly creased.

He looked at his pale-faced son on the bed and Shen Ruojing in the corner. The woman’s expression was still calm like she wasn’t bothered at all. However, he understood that there must be terrifying waves rocking her heart under her calmness.

The doctor-in-charge urged, “Mr. Chu, quickly make a decision. Things will be too late if you continue to delay!”

Chu Cichen suddenly spoke, “Miss Shen, what do you think?”

Hearing this question, Shen Ruojing slowly turned her head. Her peach blossom eyes were dark, and no one could tell her thoughts.

She suddenly revealed a mocking smile. “Give the pill to Chu Yu, but you have to promise me something. Do a DNA test with my children after that.”

Chu Cichen’s pupils narrowed. He was shocked yet also disappointed.

He didn’t expect her to choose to save his son, he was also disappointed because she didn’t hesitate to give up on her children.

He was silent for a period and then said, “...Okay.”

But as the sound of his voice rang out, Matriarch Chu rushed in with an unsightly expression. She cast a ruthless glance at Lin Wanru. “There’s no need for that anymore. The test result is out!”
