Chapter 108: She Was the Person He Liked?

Translator: Lordbluefire

Fang Panxia said, “She was a major character who stood at a great height and had opened up a brand new era. It can be said that she was in no way worse off than Bro Chen. However, it’s a pity that every beautiful woman has a harsh life, and she passed away at a young age. But I can tell you that five years ago… Oh, no, it should be almost six years now. Do you want to know why he fell for a scheme?”

Shen Ruojing was stunned.

She had never thought of this problem before.

From her perspective, after Chu Cichen proposed to her that night, the two of them naturally slept together.

But from Chu Cichen’s perspective, he had fallen into a scheme.

She had never been able to understand why the two of them had such different takes…

There were some things that she couldn’t ask Chu Cichen, but if she could find them out from Fang Panxia, she might be able to resolve the mysteries from back then.

She asked, “Why?”

A hint of a smile appeared on Fang Panxia’s expression. “It was two months after she had passed away and a week after Bro Chen returned to the country. After he was drugged at the hotel, he could restrain the effects. However, her death brought him too much grief, and back then… your back view shared some resemblance with her. Bro Chen wasn’t in a clear state of mind and mistook you for her, causing him to not be able to restrain himself.”

She sighed, wearing an amicable expression and speaking in a gentle voice. “Why do you think he harbored so much hatred toward Lin Wanru? It’s because he felt that Lin Wanru’s scheme had caused him to betray his love. That’s why he never wanted to see Lin Wanru all these years. Right now, Bro Chen has no choice but to treat you well on the account of the three children. If you want to have a harmonious relationship with Bro Chen, then it’s best that you keep your distance. Miss Shen, I’m saying this for you and Bro Chen’s good. I hope that you give some thought to what I’ve just said…”

After saying this, she passed by Shen Ruojing’s side.

No woman, let alone one who was as proud as Shen Ruojing, would allow themselves to be someone else’s replacement.

However, Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows.

The woman that Chu Cichen liked… had some resemblance with her?

Then was there a possibility that she was the person he liked?

Shen Ruojing had taken a relatively chill stance toward the events that had taken place back then, wanting to wait for the person who was behind this to jump out by themselves. She had wanted to wait until that person told her why there was a difference in their memories, who was the right one, or if there were some misunderstandings here.

However, after Fang Panxia attempted to stir up the situation, she suddenly felt very interested in the woman that Chu Cichen liked.

It seemed that she had to investigate things.

Shen Ruojing got onto her bike and was about to leave when her phone suddenly rang. When she picked up the phone, Ye Lu’s voice rang out. “Do you know that Dugu Xiao has come to Sea City?”

“Hmm, I do,” Shen Ruojing said calmly.

Ye Lu lowered her voice. “Did he find out that you had faked your death back then? What happened between the two of you? Weren’t the two of you friends previously?”

(Heh, friends.)

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled up into a sneer.

She lowered her gaze and said coldly, “It’s nothing.”

Ye Lu knew that Shen Ruojing didn’t want to talk about this. “I’ll help you pay attention to his actions. Back then, we designed the explosion so well and everyone thought that you had died. I don’t think that he’d notice any abnormality… Maybe it’s just a coincidence that he has come to Sea City.”

“Mn.”

After hanging up, Shen Ruojing’s phone rang again. But this time around, it was Lu Hui. “Boss, do you know Dugu Xiao? That foreign magnate whose reputation has been especially high in recent years! He actually sent someone to look for me, saying that he wishes to collaborate with Z Corporation! You…”

“Not interested.” Shen Ruojing interrupted him. “We won’t collaborate with him. Just reject it.”

Chu Cimo had a nice sleep.

After waking up, he looked for a white suit and put it on. He then did his hair in front of the mirror for a very long time. When he was done, he headed downstairs while humming.

When Matriarch Chu, who was on the sofa, saw him like this, she couldn’t help but say, “Tsk tsk, someone is so different than he usually is because he’s going to meet his white moonlight!”

“That’s a must.” Chu Cimo was the representative for the word ‘profligate’ in Sea City.

Matriarch Chu suddenly asked, “Have you not thought of the possibility that your white moonlight might have gotten fat after all these years? What if she has gotten uglier?”

“How could that be possible?!” Chu Cimo retorted, “Beautiful women are still beautiful even when they become fat. Wasn’t Noble Consort Yang* fat too?

“Alright, alright, alright.” Matriarch Chu waved her hand. “Scram.”

Chu Cimo headed out and took a pick in the garage for a very long time before he selected a sports car and headed out.

He quickly arrived at the club where the event was held.

After parking the car at the underground car park, he was about to head up when he heard a woman on the phone with a very nice voice like a skylark. “… Zijing, which room are you guys in? I’ve arrived…”

Chu Cimo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fair and chubby woman coming out of a car. She seemed to be looking for someone as well. This woman was Bai Shanshan.

At her current weight of 95 kilograms, Bai Shanshan looked slightly different from when she was 100 kilograms.

When she was 100 kilograms, her face was bloated. It could be said that the reason she could slim down so fast in the past two days was because the water retention in her body was removed.

Right now, Bai Shanshan’s eyes could be opened, and one could see that it was a pair of docile-looking almond eyes. Her nose and mouth were small and even though her face was chubby, Chu Cimo felt that she looked extremely adorable.

His eyes lit up and he went up to hit on her. “Hi, beautiful…”

Bai Shanshan turned around. When she saw that it was him, her gaze reflected anxiety, as if she was at a loss of what to do.

She jumped up like a fat rabbit and then charged out to the side, not caring about the direction she was running in.

Did he look so terrifying?

But why was it that even when a beautiful woman was escaping, she still looked a little adorable?

Chu Cimo suddenly felt a little curious and gave the club’s manager a call. “Hi, Manager Kong. Help me look for someone. Mn, she looks a little fat and is very adorable…”

Chu Cimo was here to meet his white moonlight, but now, he decided to switch his target and like someone else instead!

Anyway, he had always been such an irresolute person!

After getting the manager to help him search for the woman, Chu Cimo went upstairs to the private room where the meetup was held.

There were already many people in the private room.

When they saw him, all of them came up to greet him.

Ten minutes later.

Bai Shanshan went upstairs. When she saw Yan Zijing, she asked, “Zijing, is the producer in this private room?”

Yan Zijing wore a devilish smile on her face. “That’s right.”

Yan Zijing had seen the location of Bai Shanshan’s reunion gathering on her WeChat.

She had also discovered Bai Shanshan’s secret a long time ago. Hence, she knew that Bai Shanshan had a crush on her classmate, Chu Cimo. However, after she became fat, she cut off connections with all her classmates.

Today, Yan Zijing wanted to let Bai Shanshan make a fool of herself in front of the person she had a crush on!

At the thought of this, Yan Zijing pushed Bai Shanshan forward, and she went to open the private room 999!

Bai Shanshan had her head lowered. “I’m sorry to have come late…”

As she said this, she looked up and saw her high school classmates!

Bai Shanshan’s pupils constricted with fear, and she wanted to back off abruptly, but Yan Zijing was blocking the door. Yan Zijing smiled and said, “Bai Shanshan, it’s been tough on you to be working for me. Therefore, I prepared this surprise for you to meet up with your classmates. Why don’t you have a good chat with them?”
