I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

434 Backing Rong Rong Up

Matriarch Bai turned her head and saw the butler of the Shen family standing in front of the Chu family who had just gotten out of the car.

Today, three people from the Chu family came – Matriarch Chu, Chu Cichen, and Shen Ruojing.

At this time, the butler of the Shen family was respectfully looking at Shen Ruojing, but she just smiled. “It’s too boring to come early and wait.”

The butler was helpless and explained, “Sir has been waiting for you the entire afternoon, you…”

!!

When he realized that Matriarch Chu and Chu Cichen were also present, he changed his tone and said, “You guys should follow me quickly. The Old Master is already impatient from waiting.”

Shen Ruojing agreed. “Sure, sure, sure.”

Matriarch Bai. “!!”

She was stunned!

To be honest, although Matriarch Bai appreciated Shen Ruojing in her heart, she didn’t think highly of her.

After all, Shen Ruojing had a low background, a bad temper, and an overly domineering personality. Even when interacting with Chu Cichen, she never acted demurely. Matriarch Bai thought that it was no wonder Chu Cichen hadn’t married her yet.

Especially today, when Chu Cichen was so concerned about his appearance earlier… Although what he said sounded like a joke, saying that he wanted the eldest miss from the Shen Family to like him, when a man dared to make this kind of joke in front of his woman, it meant that he no longer cared about her.

Matriarch Bai and Old Man Bai could be considered a loving couple, and they understood all the tricks.

However, she had never expected that the person they felt sorry for just now was actually the Shen family’s eldest young miss?!

Matriarch Bai was dumbfounded.

However, Bai Shanshan’s eyes lit up and she felt happy inside. “Sister-in-law, so you are the Shen family’s eldest young miss!”

Since her sister-in-law had a better status, Bai Shanshan didn’t have to stay away from her and feel afraid of causing her any trouble.

Bai Shanshan’s words not only described the shock in Matriarch Bai’s heart, but they also revealed the awe in Matriarch Chu’s heart.

Matriarch Chu believed that she understood her son well, but on the way there, she was feeling conflicted.

How could Chu Cichen make such an inappropriate joke?

She must find a chance to punish him!

However, she hadn’t expected that Shen Ruojing was the eldest young miss of the Shen Family!

She then stared at Shen Ruojing in astonishment…

Matriarch Chu, who never paid attention to social status, had always been fond of Shen Ruojing. Shen Ruojing had a strong heart and was not moved by external things, nor would she feel self-pity just because of a few words from others.

With this temperament alone, she was already qualified to be the next Matriarch of the Chu family! Now, she had an even stronger status…

Hence, Matriarch Chu smiled widely, and her first reaction was to punch Chu Cichen. “You little brat, you really… made me worry for nothing all the way here!”

After speaking, she glanced at Chu Cichen’s tie. “The purple one looks good, it’s gorgeous! This one is too low-key. Don’t embarrass Jingjing later!”

Chu Cichen. “…”

The mother and son had repaired the cracks in their relationship from when Chu Cichen first returned to the country and had now become much closer.

Chu Cichen coughed. “Mother, please go in first.”

The butler was still watching them closely.

Seeing Chu Cichen’s embarrassment, Shen Ruojing laughed softly and supported Matriarch Chu. “Auntie, let’s go.”

The three of them, along with Matriarch Bai and Bai Shanshan, entered the door and headed toward the nearby lounge.

Upon entering, Shen Ruojing finally understood why the butler was in a hurry.

Although the Shen family’s banquet was scheduled for 6 o’clock, most of the guests had arrived.

At this kind of banquet, usually the higher the guest’s status, the more punctual they would be. However, the most distinguished family in the entire capital was the Shen family, so who would dare to be truly punctual for their banquet?

Therefore, it was only 5 o’clock, but most of the guests had arrived.

In the Shen family’s reception room, people came and went.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, and only a few elderlies or Shen Yuansong’s friends were invited to rest in the lounge.

Shen Ruojing originally followed the butler to enter the lounge, but as soon as she entered, she saw a familiar face in the corner of the banquet hall – Rong Rong!

She immediately stopped walking and said to the butler, “You go ahead. I just saw a friend and I’ll go say hello.”

The butler smiled and replied, “Yes, miss.”

After that, he respectfully led Matriarch Bai and the others to the nearby resting room.

Shen Ruojing then walked toward Rong Rong.

She saw Rong Rong sitting there in a blue formal dress, looking elegant and gentle, like a refined and beautiful lady.

However, she had her head lowered, as if she had done something wrong. She was also constantly touching her hair or adjusting her dress, clearly lacking confidence. Whenever someone looked at her, she immediately clenched her fists and swallowed nervously. She was clearly not used to such occasions.

Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

Rong Rong was like an older sister, taking care of her when they were locked up in the cave.

The people who locked them up only gave them one cornbread every day, which led to malnutrition in the long term.

Moreover, Shen Ruojing was locked up half a year earlier than Rong Rong. One night, she suddenly developed a high fever, and she heard Rong Rong shouting for help when she was in a daze.

Those people then came over and told her impatiently to stop shouting.

Rong Rong asked them for fever medicine, but they were furious and threatened to beat her if she continued shouting.

However, Rong Rong was determined to get the medicine and threatened to commit suicide, saying that the group wouldn’t be able to sell her for a good price. At that time, she even picked up a sharp stone from the ground and cut her wrist.

Her blood then flowed out, scaring the kidnappers so much that they finally threw a few tablets of fever medicine to her to save Shen Ruojing’s life.

During those days, when Shen Ruojing was burning up with fever, Rong Rong would crush the steamed buns given to them by those people and feed them to her.

...

Normally, one steamed bun was never enough and would leave her feeling hungry and anxious.

However, during the time she was sick, she always felt full after eating. She had originally thought that her weakened body and stomach problems were the cause, but she later discovered that Rong Rong had split her own steamed bun in half and given it to her…

At eleven years old, Shen Ruojing couldn’t even feel full with one steamed bun a day, so how could Rong Rong possibly manage?

Yet, she still did her best to help Shen Ruojing. This gentle elder sister, like the voice of Chu Cichen on the radio, was Shen Ruojing’s light during that time, which was considered the most difficult period of her life.

When Shen Ruojing thought of this, she saw Mother Rong and another girl walking toward Rong Rong.

The girl had a fake smile on her face and appeared gentle and kind. However, Shen Ruojing could see through her hypocrisy at a glance. When the two arrived in front of Rong Rong, Mother Rong frowned and scolded her in a low voice, “How did you get in? You said you wouldn’t come. Why didn’t you say anything beforehand? I replied to the Shen family and said that two people would come, but now that you suddenly showed up. It will make us look impolite!”

For this kind of banquet, after receiving an invitation, people should reply whether they were coming or not.

So when the second house of the Rong family was sent the invitation, Rong Yue replied that there would only be two people coming, and they would arrive on time.

Rong Rong was about to say something, but her arm was pulled by her mother. Mother Rong then continued scolding her, “Didn’t I tell you to please the eldest young miss of the Shen Family at the hospital? Didn’t you refuse me? Why did you come here then? Hurry up and leave before anyone notices. Don’t embarrass the Rong family here!”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze sank!

She took a step forward and her expression was like ice.

...

“Why can’t she be here?!”
