I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

299 Finding The Bai Family’s Second Son

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes. “Who?”

The electronic voice paused for a moment before continuing, “Before replying to your question, I need to ask you another question first. Ask your heart, who is the person you liked? The him overseas or the him in China?”

This question caused Shen Ruojing’s gaze to abruptly turn sharp.

She didn’t turn her head, but she could sense Chu Cichen’s muscles tensing.

She subconsciously wanted to speak, but Chu Cichen tugged her arm lightly. She turned her head to look at him only to see him faintly shaking his head as a plan could be seen in his phoenix eyes.

Shen Ruojing didn’t know what he wanted to do, but she followed his guidance and didn’t answer immediately.

The electronic voice on the other end suddenly started laughing uproariously. “You hesitated. Shen Ruojing, do you know what this means? It means that you already have a clear answer in your heart. The person who saved you from your depression and accompanied you for half a year was that guy!”

Shen Ruojing subconsciously looked at Chu Cichen only to see the man pointing at himself and waving his hands, indicating for her not to mention his presence.

The two of them took on many missions in the organizations together and were already very familiar with each other. They could understand what each other intended with just an action.

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids. “So, who exactly is he?”

“No matter who he is, he is not Chu Cichen.” The electronic voice faintly contained some excitement. “Enough. I’ll give you the second clue. Start investigating the people around Chu Cichen.”

After saying that, the other party hung up.

Shen Ruojing frowned and directly looked at Chu Cichen.

After the two of them exchanged a mutual glance, they suddenly spoke up at the same time.

“He is trying to divide us.”

“He is trying to divide us.”

After their voices rang out, the two of them fell silent again. A short while later, Chu Cichen was the first to break the silence. “Only seven people around me are worthy of my trust. They are my brothers who have weathered deadly situations with me before.”

Shen Ruojing then understood.

Someone among the seven must have betrayed Chu Cichen. Or maybe, one of those seven was intentionally arranged by someone else to be at Chu Cichen’s side. No matter who that person was, this was indeed a matter that could cause one to feel great disappointment.

Shen Ruojing no longer brought this matter up. She merely nodded. “Let us head back first.”

The two of them returned to the roadside and got back into the car.

They soon arrived at Chu Manor and just so coincidentally, they ran into Yun Wei sending Bai Xiaojiu off. The four of them met each other at the Chu Manor’s parking lot.

As Shen Ruojing lazily walked forward, Bai Xiaojiu’s eyes brightened when he saw her. “Miss Shen, the calligraphy pieces from Madman are real. Are those…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ruojing reacted and pointed at Chu Cichen directly. “Oh, he was the one who wrote them.”

Chu Cichen. “??”

As expected, Bai Xiaojiu shifted his attention and focused on Chu Cichen. He then took a step forward and shook his hand. “Mr. Chu, so you are Teacher Madman!”

Chu Cichen. “?”

He wanted to deny it, but Shen Ruojing already arrived beside him. After that, she patted his shoulder and showed a look of admiration on her face. She then nonchalantly continued to walk forward and enter the living room.

Chu Cichen. “…”

What else could he do? He could only silently tank this for his wife!

He coughed. “I don’t want too many people to know of this.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Bai Xiaojiu left excitedly and soon drove back to the Bai Manor. Once he reached home, the butler told him that his grandfather wanted him to go to the study the moment he came back.

Bai Xiaojiu then went to the study. When he pushed the door open, he saw Bai Wei hanging the two calligraphy pieces they had obtained today on the wall. There was also a magnifying glass in his hands, and he would sometimes admire the words from afar or a near distance.

When he heard the door being opened, he quickly turned his head and asked, “What’s going on with these two pieces?! I checked and they are both real! However, wasn’t the calligraphy piece I originally bought already destroyed?”

Bai Xiaojiu’s lips twitched and he explained everything that had happened today.

Bai Wei touched his beard and sighed in admiration. “I didn’t expect Chu Cichen to be Madman! No wonder that big boss accepted him as his son-in-law despite his young age.”

He smiled. “Since that big boss is supporting Chu Cichen’s project from the shadows, I think it will be an extremely advantageous cooperation for us. The Bai Family doesn’t want to be the sole family targeted for working with him, but I feel that you are suitable for this role. You should cooperate with him.”

Bai Xiaojiu started slightly. “Grandpa?”

He naturally understood what his grandpa meant!

The Bai Family currently couldn’t cooperate with Chu Cichen because the four great families were a united front. However, as an individual, Bai Xiaojiu could do so. On the surface, it would look like Bai Xiaojiu was rebellious and going against the family. But in reality, this was a great path with a boundless future paved for him by his grandpa!

Bai Wei sighed. “The future belongs to youngsters like you. Your eldest cousin is narrow-minded and caused your shine to be buried for over twenty years. You are soon to be married, and you can’t possibly let your wife follow you and lead a life of cautiousness forever, right?!”

Bai Xiaojiu’s eyes turned slightly red.

He understood what his grandpa was telling him. There was no need to be humble anymore. He could step out and vie with his eldest cousin for the leader position!

He suddenly took a step back and knelt on both his knees before kowtowing to Bai Wei.

Bai Wei went over and supported him. He then added, “Do you know what is the greatest difficulty you will face in the future?”

Bai Xiaojiu’s gaze dimmed as he nodded. “Grandma.” The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Fire(.)net

Matriarch Bai was Bai Wei’s first wife, and Bai Wei had always been very respectful to her. Also, their second son had left home because Bai Wei insisted on a marriage alliance for his second son. Because of it, their second son was determined never to return, and Bai Wei felt very guilty toward Matriarch Bai for this matter.

So, if Bai Xiaojiu couldn’t obtain Matriarch Bai’s support, it would be very difficult for him to become the leader.

Bai Wei sighed. “Because of your second uncle’s matter, your eldest cousin and his wife have a solid status in the eyes of your grandmother. Hence, you have to do something to make things work.”

Bai Xiaojiu felt conflicted. “However, it’s highly possible that eldest sis-in-law’s calls to ‘second uncle’ are fake. I feel that she basically didn’t manage to find him at all.”

Old Master Bai suddenly shot a look at him. “But ever since your grandma heard about the call, her medical condition stabilizes, and she no longer feels any soreness and pain in her waist and legs. She even feels that the food tastes better.”

“…” In truth, Old Master Bai understood everything. It was just that he didn’t bother poking a hole through the lie!

Bai Xiaojiu’s lips twitched. “In that case, I only have a single option. I’m going to look for second uncle! Grandpa, what is his name?”

Back then, Bai Wei’s second son was determined to leave home. His personality had always been stubborn and he had truly not returned home despite so many years. It was too difficult to find one person in the whole of China.

Old Master Bai sighed. “Bai Jiayao.”

Bai Xiaojiu nodded. After chatting a few more sentences with his grandfather, he turned and walked away. When he was closing the study’s door, he heard his grandpa making a call to someone. “Shen Yuansong, let me tell you this. Your daddy now has two of Madman’s calligraphy pieces! I’m finally equal to you, hahahaha…”

Bai Xiaojiu. “…”

His grandpa seemed increasingly like a kid the older he got!

However, Bai Xiaojiu understood. Shen Wanying was the granddaughter of Shen Yuansong’s cousin and was also the most doted young miss of the Shen Family in her generation. If Bai Wei wanted Bai Xiaojiu to get the leader’s position, he naturally had to have a chat with Old Master Shen…

Chu Manor.

After Shen Ruojing entered the living room, she heard Matriarch Chu’s voice. “Jingjing, quickly see who is here!”

Shen Ruojing turned a corner and heard a voice that was filled with dissatisfaction. “Mother, it’s fine if elder brother wants to relocate to the capital. You guys can just accompany him. Why must you get me and Shanshan to come over as well? I’m living a very good life in Sea City!”

It was Chu Cimo.

And beside him, there was a slim woman who seemed elegant and somewhat shy. At this moment, that woman’s almond-shaped eyes were staring at him obediently. It was none other than Bai Shanshan!

She became slimmer again!

Her figure gradually returned to normal. Her face was as small as a palm, and she looked very photogenic. She was truly someone who was born to be an actress!

After seeing Shen Ruojing, this woman who was initially feeling nervous, seemed to have found her sense of security. She then walked over excitedly. There was a look of joy on her face as she hugged Shen Ruojing’s arms. “Miss Shen~”

Her voice was like an oriole, very pleasant-sounding and airy.

Shen Ruojing smiled at her, causing Bai Shanshan to blush. Shen Ruojing then lowered her head slightly. From this angle, the Bai Shanshan who had slimmed down actually caused Shen Ruojing to feel some semblance of familiarity when she looked at her features.

It was as though her nose looked the same as Bai Xiaojiu’s. Their noses looked like the hump of a camel from the side.

Not only for Bai Xiaojiu. It seemed that everyone from the Bai Family had a nose like this…

Shen Ruojing suddenly thought of something. She asked, “Shanshan, what is your father’s name?”
