Chapter 166: Face-smacking Again!!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Mommy…

Chu Cichen’s hand paused slightly.

He looked up at Chu Xiaomeng, feeling a little stunned. He was choking a little as he asked, “What did… you say?”

“It’s mommy! This is mommy!” Chu Xiaomeng pointed to the painting. However, when she saw Chu Xiaomeng’s reddened eyes, she asked instead, “Isn’t this mommy?”

“… It’s not.”

Chu Cichen lowered his phoenix eyes and carefully rolled up the painting and put it away.

He then reached out his big hand and rubbed Chu Xiaomeng’s head.

Chu Xiaomeng frowned. Her long, soft hair felt a little uncomfortable from Chu Cichen’s rubbing. She had wanted to dodge, but after seeing Chu Cichen’s appearance, she only let out a cough. “If it isn’t mommy, then who is this?”

“She’s a very, very good… friend of mine.”

Chu Cichen thought about it for a very long time before coming up with a suitable term to bring her up in front of the child.

“Alright then.”

Although Chu Xiaomeng didn’t understand why her daddy didn’t recognize her mommy, her vision was fixed on that painting all the while. A thought then appeared in her small head.

The next time she made her daddy angry, could she steal her mommy’s mask and put it on? Her daddy wouldn’t get angry with her after seeing that!

Chu Xiaomeng felt that she was very right!

She decided to make a trip back to the Shen Family’s residence for this.

After getting the book she was looking for, Chu Xiaomeng took determined steps and held onto her dinosaur soft toy, feeling as if she had found the passcode to her daddy’s heart. She then walked out of the study feeling very satisfied.

Chu Cichen had no idea what his daughter was thinking, and he asked, “Are you done with your writing for today?”

“Ehh.” Chu Xiaomeng stumbled a little and her small head lowered slowly, looking dejected.

Chu Cichen. “…”

Chu Cichen couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Chu Xiaomeng heading over to the main study as if she was heading over to the execution ground. His daughter was really too adorable!

As he thought this, sounds of arguments suddenly rang out from downstairs.

–

Shen Ruojing didn’t expect to encounter Chu Ciyuan and Ding Miao visiting the manor again when she had just arrived here.

All three of them seemed a little startled when they met at the door.

Ding Miao’s eyes were red while Chu Ciyuan looked very angry. After seeing Shen Ruojing, he said, “Are you already helping my eldest brother to deal with me when you aren’t married into the family yet?”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She didn’t reply to his words but instead asked slowly, “Didn’t you say that you’ll never enter the Chu Manor again? It hasn’t even been a night since you said this.”

“…” Chu Ciyuan’s words got stuck in his throat. He then said angrily, “I shan’t talk to you.”

He headed straight into the living room. When Matriarch Chu looked over, he sneered, “Matriarch Chu, you’re really something!”

Matriarch Chu clenched her fists and appeared cold.

He wasn’t even addressing her as mother anymore.

Matriarch Chu frowned. “What is it now?”

Chu Ciyuan burst out with a stifled laugh. “What is it now? That is what I should be asking you! You aren’t going to say that you have no idea Shen Ruojing went to Miaomiao’s workplace and caused her to be fired, right?”

Matriarch Chu. “?”

Matriarch Chu was very puzzled. “She was fired?”

“Heh, such a good act.” Chu Ciyuan shouted furiously, “The Chu Family is really amazing! You guys can cause Miaomiao to lose her job just like that. Are you guys dissatisfied with her, so all of you are targeting her deliberately like that? Or are you guys dissatisfied with me?!”

Matriarch Chu was really angry this time around. “Chu Ciyuan, what are you talking about?”

Ding Miao’s eyes were red, and she held onto Chu Ciyuan’s arm. “Ciyuan, forget it. I’ve said that we shouldn’t come to look for them. They won’t admit to it. Let’s go…”

“No way!” Chu Ciyuan patted her hand. “It’s fine if the Chu Family let me down, but you’re innocent! It isn’t easy for you to get this job and we mustn’t let the Chu Family spoil this for you just like that!”

After saying that, he glared at Matriarch Chu. “Just come to me if you have any issues. Why are you bullying her? Has the Chu Family gotten so despicable now?!”

Chu Ciyuan had just said this when someone pressed down on his shoulder.

Chu Ciyuan turned and a punch slammed into his face aggressively.

Bang!

Chu Ciyuan’s nose felt hot from the punch and blood came out of it. His face also hurt a lot.

Chu Cichen narrowed his cold eyes. “Who allowed you to talk to Mother like this?”

This punch was fast and furious. Chu Ciyuan was really caught off guard.

Ding Miao quickly went over to help him, saying angrily, “You, who are you to hit him?”

Chu Cichen looked at her coldly. “This is the Chu Family’s family matter. What is it to you?”

Ding Miao felt choked.

On the other hand, Chu Ciyuan was slightly stunned.

Family matters…

To think that Chu Cichen had admitted him as his family.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

However, at this moment, Ding Miao held onto his arm and said pitifully, “Why has it got nothing to do with me? Ciyuan is my boyfriend and his problems are mine… Or are you saying that you don’t take him as a member of the Chu Family? Yes, he is an illegitimate son, but you can’t beat him up just like that.”

Chu Ciyuan’s heart, which had just warmed up, immediately turned cold again.

That was right. If they treated him as family, why would they target Ding Miao like this?

He clenched his fists tightly. “Yes, I’m an illegitimate son… I know that you guys look down on me and don’t care about me. That’s why you targeted my girlfriend outrageously…”

“Tsk.” Shen Ruojing crossed her arms and watched the show from the side. At this moment, she couldn’t help but interrupt him, “Hurry up and look at the top of your head…”

Chu Ciyuan paused slightly from her interruption and subconsciously looked up, asking, “At what?”

“A stretch of green plains*.”

“…”

Chu Ciyuan was really going to be driven mad. He felt even more enraged than he was earlier, so much so that his entire body was trembling. “Enough! You caused her to lose her job, and now you still want to slander her about her innocence. Why? Is your next step to chase her and me out of Sea City?”

“Innocence?”

Shen Ruojing’s voice remained very cold. “Does she have something like that?”

Shen Ruojing suddenly walked up to Ding Miao and no longer bothered to wait for Ding Miao’s condition to act up by itself. She then reached out her hand and pressed down heavily on a certain acupoint on Ding Miao’s abdomen.

“Ahh!”

Ding Miao let out a cry and then felt an intense pain in her abdomen.

The pain caused her to bend over.

“What are you doing? Are you killing someone in broad daylight?”

Chu Ciyuan reached out his hand, wanting to push Shen Ruojing away.

However, Shen Ruojing backed off by herself and said, “One would only experience such intense pain if they have an ectopic pregnancy.

“Ding Miao, this is a kind reminder. If you don’t go to the hospital within 20 minutes, your life will be at risk.”

The moment Shen Ruojing said this, Ding Miao, who was experiencing abdominal pains, stiffened up slightly. “Don’t, don’t try to scare me!”

“Is that so?” Shen Ruojing’s lips curled up and she looked down.

Ding Miao’s pants had been dyed red by blood. Judging from the amount of bleeding, this was definitely not from having her menses!

Ding Miao’s countenance instantly turned ghastly pale.
