Chapter 354 - Did She Just Fall Asleep?

This intelligence test system was by far the most scientific and rigorous and had been recognized as the standard worldwide, so it couldn’t go wrong.

“So our sister-in-law’s IQ reaches 190. That means she is a genius?” Bear looked thoroughly at the test which was almost pierced through by his eyes.

Ying Cheng nodded his head and said, “Right. I wonder how high Tuan Zi’s is!”

Tuan Zi was still doing the test. When she finished and walked out, Jiang Rui noticed the trembling hands of Doctor Li which held the report.

“210. Another Einstein!” He handed the report to Jiang Rui and added, “She completely inherited her intelligence from her mother.”

Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes and said nothing except for “let’s go”, leaving Doctor Li alone in excitement.

After they got on the car, Chen Chen cried, “What? You throw in the sponge?”

“Sister, my boss’s IQ is 180. He once did a test before,” Bear chuckled and said. “So my boss is the stupidest one in your family!”

Jiang Rui threw a glance at him and Bear then became silent. Ying Cheng, however, was not afraid of him, so he said deliberately, “Good. So we don’t have to eat breakfast made by our sister-in-law.”

“Hahaha!” Chen Chen didn’t think it was an insult to her cooking skills. She patted Jiang Rui’s shoulder and said in a boastful manner, “Officer, please remember to pick me up for meals.”

Jiang Rui replied in a cold tone, “How do you think your high IQ is used?”

“Ooh…” Chen Chen stopped laughing and said seriously, “no matter how it is used, it’s in my head.”

“Indeed, it’s true and it is completely mixed with your brains,” Jiang Rui rubbed Tuan Zi’s head and asked, “what do you think, Tuan Zi?”

Tuan Zi raised her hands and said, “The smartest thing my mom had done is to have me with dad.”

Bear and Ying Cheng applauded.

Jiang Rui laughed though he seldom did that. Only Chen Chen sitting near the car window got angry and gnawed her teeth. However, she didn’t notice Jiang Rui’s dark look. She had never doubted her IQ but a wise person didn’t necessarily expose his cleverness all the time.

Many times, people benefited from their folly…

Yet, Jiang Rui kept thinking why the exact look of Chen Chen last night made her more familiar to himself. Something flashed away in his mind but he had never caught it.

There was a famous floating restaurant in which Bear suggested to have lunch. The restaurant originally didn’t allow them to go in because Tuan Zi was holding Hei Zi. But as soon as the manager saw Jiang Rui, he not only let them in but also fetched a cushion especially for Hei Zi.

“Is he a star?” Once they went in, Chen Chen pointed at a man and said, “Wow, there is one too!”

Bear explained to her, “The restaurant was opened by the Wen family, which attracts many high-society people.”

Chen Chen nodded who had quite a lot of knowledge about some famous family in the capital. But she suddenly became worried and asked, “Didn’t that mean we might meet many people here?”

“That’s why we come here.” Bear looked a little rude and he then said, “Now that many people have known you and Tuan Zi, it would be better for them to come and see openly rather than investigate you secretly.”

He lowered his voice and continued, “Boss also thinks so or he wouldn’t come here.”

“Why not?”

“He thought it troublesome,” Bear said smugly. “Those people all want to approach my boss!”

Chen Chen pretended to not hear it and yet Jiang Rui had become a crazy fan of Jiang Rui. The manager led them to a boat in person, which was a table too. It was very private and was screened by bamboo curtains.

After the dishes were all served, Chen Chen, Bear and Ying Cheng were chatting while eating, but Jiang Rui did not speak during a meal. Now Tuan Zi learned from him to not speak since she met him. The father and daughter sat there, looking all the same, lovely and cute.

“Officer Jiang.” A voice came from the gateway. Chen Chen raised her head only to find a man standing at the door was looking at Jiang Rui with hostility.

Bai Ziqing had long wanted to look for Jiang Rui but was prevented by his family. He had never thought he could meet him in the waterside pavilion.

“Jiang Rui, every time I want to get even with you, my father would prevent me. But now my sister was still lying in the hospital. Don’t you have anything to say?”

Chen Chen came to realize that he was one of the Bai family. She couldn’t help drawing near to Jiang Rui, who glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He then got closer to her and looked at Bai Ziqi.

“I can send someone with a funeral wreath…”

“Jiang Rui!” Bai Ziqi rushed in and he then found Tuan Zi and Chen Chen sitting beside Jiang Rui. Shocked at first, he then became disdainful and asked, “So she’s your woman?”

He looked over Chen Chen carefully while Tuan Zi interrupted, “Stop looking. No matter how you look, my mom is still more beautiful than your sister and she still belongs with my dad.”

“Bitch…” When he was about to swear, Jiang Rui’s cold eyes, which looked like a dead man’s, turned to him. At the thought of Bai Weirong’s end, Bai Ziqi’s Adam’s apple moved up and down.

Bear rose up and said, “Young Master Bai wants to stay and have a drink with us?”

“Jiang Rui, even though you don’t like Weirong, how can you hurt her? Anyway, our family relationships have been so deep and close, but your act has put our elders in dilemma.” Bai Ziqi was clear that Song Chunli had taken Bai Weirong for the future daughter-in-law and had frequently visited her in hospital these days.

Besides, she had promised the Bai family that as long as Weirong didn’t mind, she would definitely ask Jiang Rui to divorce the woman and marry Weirong.

“Do you know why your family has been keeping you from looking for me?” Jiang Rui said coldly.

Bai Ziqi gave a snort of contempt and said, “Isn’t it for the face of both families!”

“Your father’s much smarter than you. He fears that I would kill you so that the Bai family would end up heirless.” Jiang Rui held a gun as he moved somehow. He continued, “Since you’ve come, then don’t leave so easily.”

Bai Ziqi suddenly looked paler and he said, “You… you calm down…”

“See?” Jiang Rui turned to ask Chen Chen.

“What?” Chen Chen was confused.

Jiang Rui pointed at Bai Ziqi who was trembling and said, “Sillier than you.”

“I have a higher IQ than you!” Chen Chen wished she could throw the test report on Jiang Rui’s face and she added, “You’re mighty. But what can you do with your gun under broad daylight?”

Bear burst into laughter and said pointing at Bai Ziqi, “of course shoot him.”

Bai Ziqi said while withdrawing, “Jiang Rui, if you dare to kill me, the Bai family won’t let you get away with it and even your grandfather would get involved in the trouble.”

The manager, who had hidden outside watching the drama, now had no way but to come to the front and said, “Officer Jiang, think about the Young Master Wen. You can’t shoot here!”

Chen Chen curled her lip and said, “He dares not to kill people in public at all.”

Bai Ziqi took the chance while the manager was speaking to run away. However, Bear screamed loudly, “Master Bai, let’s have a fight in the army when you are free!”

Ying Cheng glanced at Chen Chen who thought it no big deal after the manager left wiping his sweat. He said, “My brother dares to shoot. One more word from that Mr. Bai, he will die.”

“You are all bandits who disregard the law and you are committing crimes!” Chen Chen looked at Jiang Rui pretentiously, while the latter lifted his eyelid casually. “Have you finished eating?”

Chen Chen immediately shook her head. “Nope.”

“Dad!” Tuan Zi, who had been well-behaved all the way, said with her eyes glistening, “Can I learn to shoot?”

“Yes.”

“No way.”

Chengcheng and Bear looked at each other, and then buried themselves in eating.

Chen Chen stared at Jiang Rui and went on, “Are you insane to let a child touch a gun?”

“We ought to foster her ability from childhood.” Jiang Rui took a look at her and added, “I had learned to shoot wild boar since I was six.”

“Are you primitive man?” Chen Chen said rudely, “You are different from Tuan Zi. Let me tell you, don’t teach her any strange thing.”

Tuan Zi frowned to push away Chen Chen and said, “Mom, it’s not a strange thing. It’s a skill. My dad was very handsome when he was with a gun.”

“No way!” Chen Chen raised her voice abruptly which scared Tuan Zi.

Ying Cheng noticed something strange on her and asked, “Sister?” “What happened to you?” Jiang Rui also found Chen Chen was so pale, either frightened or excited.

At this moment, Tuan Zi cried and rushed into Chen Chen’s arms. “Mom, don’t be mad at me. I won’t learn it and I won’t touch the gun,” she said.

When Jiang Rui was about to say something, a heavy sound was heard. It was Chen Chen who fell on the desk on the head.

“Mom!” Tuan Zi cried. Jiang Rui held Chen Chen right away while Bear ran out rapidly and said, “I’ll start the car!”

Ying Cheng held Hei Zi in one hand and Tuan Zi in another. He comforted Tuan Zi, “Don’t be afraid. You’ve got your dad and uncle. Your mom will be fine.”

They arrived at Jiang Rui’s house. Bear anxiously stared at Hua Tuo with Xiao Si and Scar standing behind him. Among them, Xiao Si was holding a big medicine chest.

“You’ve been checking for a while. Are you capable of handling it?” Scar looked at Jiang Rui and continued, “We’d better take sister to the hospital!”

Hua Tuo was a young man wearing glasses. He was originally called Tian Haiyi, born into a family that specialized in Chinese medicine for generations. He was found after he joined the army and was assigned as an army-surgeon to work with Jiang Rui.

“Don’t come to me next time you hurt yourself,” Hua Tuo gave Scar a sideways glance and said. “She’s fine.”

Tuan Zi held Chen Chen’s hand with tears in her eyes and asked, “Why was she still unconscious?”

“Because she fell asleep…”

These words made Jiang Rui frown. He asked, “Fell asleep?”

Hua Tuo looked at Chen Chen. Thanks to her passing out, he got a chance to see her in person as well as Tuan Zi who resembled his boss so much.

“She’s just in sleep though it’s unnatural.”

“Boss… I prefer to go to the hospital.” Scar insisted regardless of Hua Tuo’s warning while Hua Tuo sneered at him and said, “I’ll put chili powder on your wound next time you come to me.”

Bear gave them a ferocious stare and said, “Look at you two, why do you still quarrel at this critical moment? What’s wrong with you?”

Hua Tuo thought it over and said, “To put it in a simple way, it’s like an electric brake. When it’s overloaded, it’ll stop working.”

“You mean that she might not be able to face something, so she chooses to escape from it in this way?” Jiang Rui’s eyes flickered and at last, turned dark. “In other words, she’s troubled by serious mental illness.”

“Right!” Hua Tuo nodded and said, “it must have been a long while.”

Ying Cheng lifted Tuan Zi up and said, “Tuan Zi, did your mom ever fell asleep out of sudden before?”

“Nope!” Tuan Zi sobbed and said, “Uncle, when will my mom wake…”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Hua Tuo.

“She will wake up when she’s got enough sleep,” Hua Tuo shrugged his shoulder and added, “or maybe she is just hungry?”
