I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 399 - 399 Family!

399 Family!

At this moment, Shen Yuansong suddenly didn’t know why he had been working so hard for so many years…

He had led the Shen Family to become increasingly stronger but ended up having to leave everything to these few ingrates.

To make things worse, his biological granddaughter was now looked down upon and humiliated by them…

As a result, this old man, who had seen the vicissitudes of life and no longer felt strong emotional fluctuations, was now so angry that his hands were trembling.

!!

He even had an impulse to put aside everything and be acquainted with his granddaughter right away!

However, before he could finish his words, Shen Ruojing interrupted him, “Old Master Shen, it’s just a seat. This place is quite good too.”

The meaning behind her words was for him to not continue anymore.

Hearing this, Shen Yuansong furrowed his brows tightly, but the anger between his brows gradually relaxed. He then looked at Chu Cichen.

If Chu Cichen were to leave his granddaughter to feel aggrieved just like that, he was definitely going to bring her away!

He had just thought of this when he heard Chu Cichen say, “It’s true that this seat is quite good.”

Shen Yuansong. “?”

His heart sank.

He admired Chu Cichen as a businessman. But at this moment, did Chu Cichen really lower his head before power? For the success of tonight’s banquet, was he going to cause Jingjing to feel aggrieved?

Did that mean that he would also allow Jingjing to feel aggrieved for the sake of the Chu Family’s development?

The more Shen Yuansong thought about it, the angrier he became. He let out a snort and was just about to scold Chu Cichen when the latter walked past him and sat down next to Shen Ruojing. “I’ll sit here too.”

Shen Yuansong. “?”

Feeling stunned, he looked over, only to see his granddaughter suddenly turning and giving Chu Cichen a faint smile. It was as if she had expected his choice long ago.

“…”

Shen Yuansong fell silent for a moment and then suddenly smiled.

For so many years, he had been wondering what love was. Back then, how did things turn out that way with that woman from the Yun Family?

Now, looking at the two youngsters, Shen Yuansong suddenly felt that his understanding of love was still too narrow-minded…

Love should be trust, understanding, acceptance, and the courage to jointly take on everything together!

When he found out that he had a daughter, he felt both elated and full of regret. However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood why that woman from the Yun Family had made such a choice.

Now though, he felt that both of them were wrong.

What would happen if, back then, both of them had the courage to tackle all difficulties together just like these youngsters?

Then his daughter wouldn’t have had to look for such an unpopular actor to marry into her family…

His granddaughter would also stand above others… having a greater say in the Chu Family.

At the thought of this, Shen Yuansong suddenly let out a long sigh. He walked over to Shen Ruojing’s other side and sat down, saying, “That’s right, this place is quite good! I’ll sit at this table too!”

Bai Wei and Matriarch Bai exchanged a glance. Bai Wei then laughed heartily and sat down next to Bai Shanshan together with Matriarch Bai. “Then we’ll sit at this table too. It’s true that this table is quite good.”

“…”

Everyone was stunned and silence filled the place.

Everyone looked in the direction of their table in disbelief.

Seeing this, Matriarch Chu and the butler exchanged a glance and then immediately went over with smiles. They started making arrangements for the guests who were previously seated at the second table to relocate them to other tables.

The first and second tables instantly became spacious.

Matriarch Chu smiled and sat down at the second table too. She then said loudly to the butler, “Alright, serve the dishes!”

Exquisite dishes from Sea City were served in turns. With the delicacies presented, the atmosphere finally became less solemn, and the sounds of chatting gradually rang out in the banquet hall.

Everything seemed to have become more cheerful.

However, Shen Jiayi, Sheng Chong, and Shen Zhong, who were at the first table, felt uneasy. They felt as if they had become the joke of the banquet!

It was because clearly, at this banquet, the guests who were sitting at the first table were not distinguished enough.

Wherever Shen Yuansong and Bai Wei were seated, that table would be the main table!

“I’ve seen your mother.”

Shen Ruojing was focused on having her meal when an aged voice suddenly rang out next to her ear. Instantly, her hand that was holding onto chopsticks paused before slowly placing a piece of abalone into her mouth. Only then did she turn and see Shen Yuansong looking at her.

The old man was like a child. He lowered his voice and sighed. “She resembles your grandmother a lot.”

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips. “You didn’t try to tell her who you are, did you?”

Shen Yuansong’s gaze turned dim. “I didn’t.”

After saying this, he picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip.

He had just sipped his tea when he heard Shen Ruojing say, “It’s fine even if you did. Otherwise, my mother would keep having the impression that her biological father was paralyzed in bed, with his children and grandchildren ignoring him. She thought that he’d be pitifully waiting for death!”

“Pffft!” Shen Yuansong immediately choked and coughed badly.

Seeing this, Shen Ruojing quickly put down her chopsticks and pressed gently on his back. Only then did Shen Yuansong’s urge to cough subside.

Shen Ruojing raised her brows. “You can’t handle some teasing.”

Shen Yuansong glared at her. “You’re just too playful!”

Since their attitude toward each other seemed very intimate, the gaze of Chu Cichen, who was at the side, darkened a little.

Shen Ruojing then said, “Your constitution doesn’t look too good. Let me take your pulse.”

Upon hearing that, Shen Yuansong’s pupils contracted and he immediately withdrew his hand. “No need.”

...

However, at the next moment, Shen Ruojing grabbed onto his wrist.

Shen Yuansong wanted to fling her hand away, not wanting to let his granddaughter worry for him after they had just recognized each other.

However, after Shen Ruojing’s fingers pressed onto his wrist, it was futile regardless of how much he struggled.

Shen Yuansong couldn’t help but lower his head and look at her hand.

His granddaughter looked like such a dainty young lady, so how was she so strong?

“Keep a calm mind.”

Shen Ruojing ordered and Shen Yuansong immediately stopped struggling.

After that, Shen Ruojing closed her eyes, planning to observe his pulse carefully…

She had always known that her grandfather was in bad health. Recently, she had also been preparing medicine that was suitable for him. However, she had to ascertain his condition first…

After taking his pulse, Shen Ruojing discovered that her grandfather’s constitution was too weak, much worse than she had expected.

Just as she was in her thoughts, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, “What are you guys doing?!”

...

Shen Ruojing opened her eyes abruptly and saw Shen Jiayi standing next to them, her gaze landing on Shen Ruojing and Shen Yuansong’s hands. “Shen Ruojing, why are you guys having your hands on each other in public?!”

After saying that, Shen Jiayi’s eyes suddenly widened and she scolded angrily, “Are you so shameless? My granduncle is already in his seventies, but you’re actually s*ducing him?!”

Shen Ruojing. “???”

Everyone at the banquet looked over.

Shen Yuansong frowned. “Shen Jiayi, what rubbish are you spouting?!”

Shen Ruojing tidied her sleeve slowly and retracted her hand. “Why are you so agitated? I was just taking Old Master Shen’s pulse.”

“Taking his pulse?!” Shen Jiayi sneered. “Do you take me for a fool? If you were taking his pulse, why weren’t you doing it openly but instead chose to be so sneaky about it?”

Shen Yuansong bellowed, “Shut up!”

“Why do I have to shut up?” Shen Jiayi was fuming to the extent that she was out of control. She no longer cared for Shen Yuansong’s dignity and shouted, “If you guys dare to do something like this, why are you stopping others from talking about it?”

“Granduncle, I finally understood it now! I was wondering why you’re so biased toward Shen Ruojing and have been so defensive of her. During this time, you even gave away our Shen Family’s businesses to the Chu Family! Turns out it’s because the two of you have gotten into an illicit relationship?”

After saying that, she then looked at Chu Cichen. “Brother Chu, do you see that? Shen Ruojing is just a wh*re amongst the rich!”

Chu Cichen stood up abruptly, his expression cold and his gaze filled with a murderous aura. He shouted, “Shut up!”

Shen Jiayi was so scared that she took two steps back, her heart palpitating. At that moment, she even felt unprecedented horror and anxiety.

However, she regained her composure very quickly.

She asked, feeling perplexed, “Bro Chu, you should have seen what happened earlier, right? Why don’t you believe me?”

After saying this, she seemed to have suddenly understood something. She pointed to Shen Ruojing and shouted, “I understand it now! I see it now! No wonder you don’t dare to break up with her! Turns out that the Chu Family’s businesses have to rely on this woman! You know of the dealings she has with my granduncle!”

“Bullsh*t!” Chu Cimo was enraged too. He knew Shen Ruojing’s identity as a doctor and shouted, “My sis-in-law isn’t such a person!”

Shen Jiayi sneered. “She isn’t such a person? Even a doctor and their patient won’t get so close together! Unless it’s with a family member, who would get so close to a man?!”

Her words had just finished when she heard a cold voice sounding, “You’re right about the family part.”
