I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

289 Prelude to Exposing a Sock Puppet Account!

After Shen Ruojing finished asking this question, she stared fixedly at Chu Cichen.

The man’s figure was tall and straight, and he exuded an indescribable sense of depression as though the truth he had found was something he couldn’t endure.

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips and knew that her conjecture most probably was accurate.

After eliminating all impossibilities, whatever was left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

She lowered her eyelids.

Chu Cichen then inhaled deeply. “The matter is a little complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a sentence or two. Let us wait until this banquet concludes before we talk about it.”

“Sure.”

Shen Ruojing had waited for a few days. She didn’t care about waiting for a few more hours.

In addition, her main purpose in coming to the Bai Manor was to accompany Yun Wei and perfectly finish this introduction banquet.

At this moment, the sound of a gasp suddenly rang out from a guest room.

Shen Ruojing subconsciously narrowed her eyes and went over quickly. After that, she saw Yun Wei holding a box and staring at its content. Her hands were actually trembling.

Also, Bai Xiaojiu’s expression was pale.

“What’s the matter?”

A calm and deep voice drifted over from the entrance as Chu Cichen strode in. There was a calming quality in his voice.

Yun Wei turned her head and her eyes were red. She then passed the box in her hands to Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen. The two calligraphy pieces from Madman were already torn into shreds!

Bai Xiaojiu clenched his fists and spoke in rage, “This must be done by my eldest brother!”

Yun Wei hurriedly added, “Can we check the cameras…”

“It’s useless.” Anger gleamed in Bai Xiaojiu’s eyes. “My eldest brother is very meticulous when it comes to doing things. The camera records would definitely be deleted or tampered with. In addition, even if the footage was untouched, we wouldn’t find any evidence linking this back to my eldest brother. Since we were young till now, his usual trick was to get my fifth brother to do things for him. Fifth brother would surely take the shot on his behalf.”

Most importantly, if Bai Xiaojiu made a fuss, it would only show everyone that he was incompetent.

Also as for that calligraphy piece…

Bai Xiaojiu felt extreme heartache. His grandfather had to beg for a favor and paid large amounts of money before getting the previous owner to sell it to him. This wasn’t a problem with money. Rather, it was owing a favor.

He hadn’t even possessed it for long, and it was already torn…

How sad would his grandpa be?

He wasn’t afraid that his grandfather would know how evil his eldest brother was. Instead, he was afraid of the look of heartache on his grandfather’s face given his old age.

Bai Xiaojiu was badly enraged.

Even if his eldest brother wanted to vie with him for their grandfather’s favor, how could he use such a method?

He should know that his grandfather had always been wanting a calligraphy piece written by Madman in this recent year.

Bai Xiaojiu’s eyes turned red as his fists were clenched tightly.

Moreover, this matter happened when Yun Wei visited them for the first time. If he couldn’t perfectly resolve this, this might implicate Yun Wei as she might be mocked for being together with him.

Bai Xiaojiu inhaled deeply and held Yun Wei’s hands.

He closed the box and passed it to Yun Wei. After remaining silent for some time, he then spoke, “Let’s just give it to grandpa like this.”

Yun Wei started.

Bai Xiaojiu continued, “After grandpa sees it, he will understand what happened. In order to protect your dignity, he will not take it out to show others.”

Bai Xiaojiu had a self-mocking smile on his face.

His grandpa might actually disregard the sorrow and put on a joyful face.

At the very least, doing so could protect his and Yun Wei’s reputation.

Yun Wei was also so angry that her fingers were trembling. She held his hand. “Don’t worry. We were careless this time around. In the future, we will accept the consequences no matter what may happen together!”

Bai Xiaojiu nodded.

Yun Wei also inhaled deeply.

The two of them held the gifts and were preparing to head out. However, just when they were walking toward the banquet, Shen Ruojing finally spoke, “Hold on.”

The two of them halted and after that, they heard Shen Ruojing saying, “Prepare paper and a brush for me.”

Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Wei were both startled.

The two of them stared at Shen Ruojing in bewilderment. Bai Xiaojiu sighed. “Miss Shen, you want to imitate Madman, right? But you have never seen that piece from Madman before.”

Shen Ruojing lifted his brows.

Chu Cichen then continued on her behalf, “Prepare some tea or plum water, and also 1% of ferric chloride solution.”

After hearing this, Shen Ruojing looked at him.

Tsk.

Chu Cichen actually knew how to age a work of art.

Bai Xiaojiu still dared to question Shen Ruojing, but Chu Cichen’s tone was too certain. It actually caused him to subconsciously obey.

He pursed his lips and spoke to Yun Wei. “You should head to the banquet first. I’ll head there immediately after I’m done preparing these.”

“Okay.”

Yun Wei wasn’t clear what her cousin and cousin-in-law wanted to do, but the situation was extremely urgent now. She also didn’t have too much time to think and could only nod and leave the room.

The Bai Manor had almost everything. So, Bai Xiaojiu soon brought the things Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen had asked him to prepare. After that, he hurried to the banquet hall.

After he left the room, only Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen remained in the guest room.

The two of them exchanged a glance, and a sense of ambiguity flowed between them…
