I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

421 Old Friend

Shen Ruojing wanted to get some information from Little Mi.

After all, kids mostly didn’t know how to lie.

However, Little Mi was perplexed after she heard her question. “My elder brother has always been my elder brother. Our parents passed away long ago, and my elder brother was the one who brought me up…”

Shen Ruojing wanted to ask something more, but she suddenly realized that Little Mi was merely two when that incident happened six years ago. She basically wouldn’t be able to remember anything, and Shen Ruojing couldn’t get any information from her.

!!

Hence, she patted Little Mi’s head and passed her to Lu Hui. “Find a place for her to stay.”

Song Chen’s landlord was badly frightened after he learned of the sniping incident. A normal citizen like him only wanted a peaceful life. Also, he felt that Song Chen was part of the triads, so he directly tossed Little Mi’s and Song Chen’s luggage out, refusing to permit them to stay there anymore.

If it wasn’t for Lu Hui sending someone to guard there, their luggage would have been stolen by others.

Lu Hui walked to Shen Ruojing’s side and lowered his voice. “We searched their luggage, but no suspicious items were found.”

Shen Ruojing nodded.

Seeing that Song Chen still didn’t show any signs of waking up, Shen Ruojing got Lu Hui to bring Little Mi back to rest. She then sent someone to guard this place before she went out.

Just as she stepped out, she saw Chu Cichen smoking at the end of the corridor.

This was the second time she saw this man smoke.

The night was a hazy one, and the smoke could be seen floating in the air, causing him to exude a desolate air.

Shen Ruojing slowly walked over.

Just as she neared, the man seemed to feel something and turned his head to glance at her. After that, he quickly doused the cigarette as though he was a child that had done something wrong. He then explained, “I don’t usually smoke.”

“I know.” Shen Ruojing leaned against a window.

The cold wind blew over, causing her mind to feel more refreshed.

The man’s aggrieved voice suddenly rang out in her ears. “Earlier, I didn’t sense that you were in danger. If I had sensed it, my actions would have been faster than his and I would also have blocked the bullet for you.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Ever since Song Chen was sent to the hospital, Chu Cichen hadn’t said a single word. She had initially thought that it was because he was jealous. However, she hadn’t expected the answer to be this.

She changed the topic. “Let alone you, even I myself didn’t sense the danger. It seems that Dugu Xiao has found an expert.”

Chu Cichen’s voice immediately turned cold. “Don’t worry, he shouldn’t think about harming you again with me around!”

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled into a smile. “Hmm, I trust you.”

Chu Cichen started slightly.

He looked at Shen Ruojing again before lowering his phoenix eyes to mask the jealousy within. His mouth opened and closed, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

Shen Ruojing cleanly said, “The answer is you.”

Chu Cichen paused as he lifted his head to look at her. The sourcᴇ of this content is ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“I know you want to ask who was the one I loved. The answer is you.”

Shen Ruojing looked at him. “I thought he was you, which was why I agreed to his courtship after I met him in our country.”

Chu Cichen’s straightened spine slowly relaxed as an imperceptible smile curled his lips. However, he still didn’t feel at ease enough. “But the relationship between us was love at first sight while he accompanied you for half a year…”

Shen Ruojing actually laughed. “Do you think I couldn’t think straight because I was completely in love?”

Chu Cichen was stunned.

Shen Ruojing walked past him. “Silly.”

Chu Cichen felt even more dumbstruck.

He was very confused as he followed behind her. He wanted to pursue the matter to the end, so he asked, “Jingjing, you mean that you’ve fallen in love with me long ago? When was it? Why didn’t I know about it?”

Shen Ruojing ignored him.

She had never mentioned her past to anyone before.

Just as she was preparing to return to the ward, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing ahead in the distance!

Shen Ruojing was startled. She then walked over.

The young woman with her back facing her had a good figure and was wearing a decent-looking dress. It was none other than her good friend, Rong Rong!

But wasn’t she in Ford City after she left the prison? At that time, none of her family members went to fetch her, so Shen Ruojing arranged a house for Rong Rong to stay in Ford City.

Since she appeared here, could it be that her family had sent someone to fetch her back?

There was a middle-aged woman in her fifties standing in front of Rong Rong. At this moment, she was anxiously speaking to Rong Rong, “Doctor Xu is a specialist and is very capable. If he is fond of you, you shouldn’t hesitate. Don’t you know about your dark past? You spent 13 years in prison and if it wasn’t for the Rong Family suppressing the truth and telling outsiders that you just returned from overseas studies, do you think anyone would dare to be together with you?…Doctor Xu’s background might be a little low, but it is already very good that he is willing to accept you. If not, what sort of husband do you want to find?”

Rong Rong lowered her eyelids and spoke calmly, “Mother, I want to find one who doesn’t despise me.”

Mother Rong immediately reprimanded her, “Doctor Xu doesn’t despise you! Are you satisfied now since you went behind my back and told him that you were in prison?”

Rong Rong didn’t reply.

Mother Rong felt as though her heavy punch had landed on soft cotton. She took a deep breath and continued, “Can you smile a little? Why do you keep assuming a bitter expression? Also, starting tomorrow, you should break off all relationships with your lousy friends and get your younger sister to bring you around, so you can have more social interactions with people in high society. In addition, I heard that the Shen Family just acknowledged a new biological granddaughter. Your younger sister is preparing to forge a good relationship with her. Do you know who the Shen Family is? This hospital belongs to them! After your younger sister becomes friends with the eldest young miss, Doctor Xu wouldn’t dare to slight you on account of your younger sister!”

Rong Rong lowered her eyes, feeling no interest in this topic at all.

All of a sudden, she seemed to sense something, and she saw Shen Ruojing after she turned her head.

Her eyes brightened.

Shen Ruojing had a smile on her face as she took the initiative to greet her. “Sister Rong.”

Rong Rong’s expression became much gentler. “Little Jing.”

Just when Shen Ruojing wanted to say something more, Rong Rong’s mother suddenly cut in. She had a provocative look in her eyes as she looked at Shen Ruojing. Maybe it was because he sensed a rebellious air from the girl before her, and the latter’s dressing style didn’t seem to be from a rich family.

This was especially so as her leggings were tucked into her leather shoes. How would any good girl wear such a thing?

...

She frowned in disdain. “Rong Rong, Doctor Xu is free now. You should bring him this soup!”

Rong Rong unhappily answered, “Mother, let me speak a few words to my friend first.”

“Friend?!” Mother Rong revealed a look of contempt. “What sort of legitimate friends do you have? You knew her from prison right?!”

Rong Rong’s expression changed. “Mother, don’t talk nonsense. Little Jing is my best friend…”

“Did you forget what I just said? Didn’t I tell you to break off all relationships with your lousy friends? Can you learn from your younger sister and make friends with people from rich families? Our Rong Family is not an ordinary family. No matter what, we are one of the four great families in the capital!”

After Mother Rong finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ruojing. “Best friend? What benefits can your so-called best friend give you? Can she introduce you and let you get acquainted with the eldest young miss of the Shen Family?”

As the sound of her voice faded, Chu Cichen icily spoke, “In that case, do you know who she is?”
