Chapter 278 - 278 I’m Afraid That You’ll Despise Me

278 I’m Afraid That You’ll Despise Me

Shen Ruojing nodded and headed straight upstairs.

This villa’s structure had some resemblance to the one in Sea City. After she went up to the second floor she took a careful look and found a place that looked like it could be a study. She then went over to knock on the door.

“Who’s that?”

Chu Cichen’s deep and stern voice sounded from the room.

When the butler who came chasing after Shen Ruojing saw this, he thought to himself that this was bad!

His master had a very important meeting today and had given instructions that even if Matriarch Chu came, he was not to be disturbed.

The butler had gone to speak to Matriarch Chu earlier but forgot to remind Miss Shen about this.

His master was probably going to fly into a rage.

Just as the butler was thinking like this, he heard Shen Ruojing say calmly, “Me.”

He had just finished saying this when the sound of a chair shifting came from the study.

However, the footsteps didn’t seem like they were headed for the door, but deeper into the room.

Shen Ruojing was stunned for a moment and then suddenly thought of something. She opened the door to the study directly and saw that the laptop was still on the desk, but there wasn’t anyone on the chair.

Also, the window was open and cold air blew in.

Shen Ruojing started before she dashed to the window and saw a black sedan driving out at quick speed.

Shen Ruojing. “???”

While she was in a daze, Lu Cheng’s voice rang out from the laptop that Chu Cichen had left behind in the study. “Bro Chen? Bro Chen, where did you go off to? Everyone is waiting for you to start the meeting!”

Shen Ruojing walked over slowly and appeared in front of the laptop.

There were eight windows on the screen for the video conference. Other than the one for Chu Cichen and Lu Cheng, Shen Ruojing hadn’t met any of the other six before.

However, they had completely different styles. Other than located in different countries, there was a black-skinned man, a Caucasian…

When everyone saw her, they were instantly shocked.

The black-skinned man spoke in fluent Dongbei Mandarin, “What is this situation? A female assassin? Where’s Boss? He couldn’t have fallen to a femme fatale, could he?”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

“F*ck! Don’t speak gibberish!” Li Cheng introduced Shen Ruojing to everyone respectfully, “This is Lord Jing! Hurry up and call Sis-in-law!”

“…”

The others instantly revealed all sorts of disdainful expressions.

Lu Cheng then received everyone’s private message.

[Sis-in-law? Has Bro Chen recognized this? She looks quite nice, but is she worthy of Bro Chen?]

[Bro Chen has a white moonlight. Back then, he was even planning to introduce her to us. Lu Cheng, don’t f*cking speak gibberish here! Otherwise, I’ll bash you up!]

[Lu Cheng, you understand the meaning of the word sis-in-law, right? Don’t f*cking get us to call her sis-in-law just because a woman has appeared!]

[Anyway, we don’t admit this sis-in-law!]

…

…

Shen Ruojing didn’t know why they fell silent. However, her phone suddenly rang.

She took her phone out to take a look, only to discover that it was Chu Cichen.

At the thought of how this man had jumped out of the window and escaped earlier, Shen Ruojing felt upset. She picked up the call and said coldly, “Why did you run?”

“Jingjing.”

The man’s voice was gentle and loving, with a hint of aggrieved downness. His voice knocked into Shen Ruojing’s eardrums. “I promised you that I’ll tell you the truth when we meet, but I still don’t dare to tell you about it now. I’m scared.”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze turned slightly dark and her voice unknowingly turned a little warmer. “…What are you scared of?”

“I’m afraid that you’ll despise me after finding out the truth.”

Shen Ruojing. “!!”

Her first reaction was to check the incoming call on her phone. It was really Chu Cichen and not someone else. However, when did this man suddenly become so capable of putting down his face and saying something like this?”

Did he know what on earth he was saying?!

Shen Ruojing took in a deep breath and eased her tone. “What on earth happened? Is there something wrong with your body?”

Since it wasn’t her memories that had a problem, then the problem must be with Chu Cichen.

However, she had taken Chu Cichen’s pulse before. This guy had a strong physique and hadn’t lost his memories. Could he be schizophrenic?

After all, to the others, he was a domineering CEO. However, the way he was talking now was like the puppy from many years ago.

Chu Cichen didn’t deny it but only sighed. “Give me a little bit more time. After I reorganize my feelings, I’ll go and look for you and tell you everything, okay?”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Chu Cichen continued to ask carefully, “You’ll stay at the Chu manor first for these few days, right?”

“…Alright.”

Shen Ruojing decided to stay and wait for him. “I’ll wait for you to think through things and tell me the truth.”

“Alright. Then we’ll discuss the matter of the children’s education next.”

Chu Cichen picked his words carefully, as if fearing that she’d get angry. “Xiaomeng’s situation is special. I found a kindergarten in the capital that can accept geniuses with high intelligence quotient. What do you think?”

Shen Ruojing was very lax in nurturing the children.

She herself wasn’t educated under the proper education system. But when she thought of her childhood, she felt that sometimes, the life of ordinary people was the happiest…

She lowered her gaze and said, “Sure.”

Even though Xiaomeng had sociophobia, she should still go out and have more contact with society.

She couldn’t possibly shut herself up at home her entire life.

Chu Xiaomeng hadn’t attended school back in Sea City because there wasn’t a kindergarten that she could attend. However, there were specialized schools in the capital.

Chu Cichen had put more thought into this matter as compared to her. He was a good father.

Chu Cichen then said, “Little Ye and Little Yu attended kindergarten in Sea City previously. But since the Chu Corporation has been shifted to the capital, I’d like to ask the two of them if they want to attend school with Xiaomeng. After all, the capital has the best educational resources in China.

Shen Ruojing sank into deep thought.

Although Chu Tianye talked about inheritance all the time, Shen Ruojing understood that he craved fatherly love.

The reason Chu Yu stayed by her side all the time was also because he craved motherly love.

If the three children were to go to separate schools… it wouldn’t be good for their future either. Moreover, she would be worried for Xiaomeng. It wouldn’t be bad to have her two older brothers take care of her.

Hence, she made the decision. “Alright then.”

Anyway, it didn’t matter if she were to live her retirement life in Sea City or in the capital.

After ascertaining these things, Shen Ruojing hesitated for a short moment and asked, “Is your body really alright? I’m a doctor, hmm, I also have friends in the psychology department.”

“No need.” Chu Cichen’s tone was a little dejected. “As long as you don’t despise me.”

Lu Cheng, who was already in the capital, was now reading messages on his phone.

After seeing all the questions from those people’s direct messages, he wanted to reply to them in turn and let them know how much Bro Chen cared about Lord Jing. But then he heard the conversation between Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen through the video call.

As a result, the few people who were calling him out and scolding him earlier changed to shouting in the video call…

“Sis-in-law! Aren’t you too good-looking? You’re just like a flower…”

“The b*stard Lu Cheng was saying that you aren’t worthy of Bro Chen. How can that be possible? I think that the two of you are a perfect match!”

“Sis-in-law, it’s all Lu Cheng’s fault. To think that he hid this from us? Do you like gemstones or bags? I can help you buy them from overseas!”

Lu Cheng. “!!!”

Shen Ruojing appeared in front of the laptop and said to those people, “No need.”

She then hung up the call with Chu Cichen and also the video call on the laptop. She wanted to leave the study. However, she suddenly saw something and paused in her footsteps before turning back to the desk area.

The desk’s drawer was designed to open by pressing on it. Chu Cichen had been in too much of a hurry before he left. As a result, after the chair knocked into the drawer, it slowly opened a little. Right now, a fresh copy of a physical examination was lying there quietly.

Name: Chu Cichen

Shen Ruojing was a little surprised.

She thought of how he was avoiding her, as if he had gotten some serious ailment.

Shen Ruojing then pursed her lips and took out the medical examination report…

The truth might be in here.
