Chapter 212 - 212 Not Welcomed?

212 Not Welcomed?

Chu Cichen bent over and carried Chu Xiaomeng into the car.

Chu Xiaomeng suddenly looked at Chu Cichen. “Daddy, you and Mommy...”

Before she could finish her words, Chu Cichen interrupted her, “Xiaomeng, Daddy is sleepy.”

He then said to Muscles, “Go to my residence in Ford City.”

“Yes.”

The Chu Family had properties in all the big cities across the entire country.

After the car started, Chu Xiaomeng’s hand rested on her bag. From the outside, she could feel the mask in the bag. She wanted to take it out to show Chu Cichen.

However, when she turned her head, she saw Chu Cichen with his eyes closed, looking like he had fallen asleep.

The child’s actions immediately became relaxed.

It was no wonder her Daddy was so irritated just now. So it was because he hadn’t gotten a good sleep!

Her mommy was driving the whole night yesterday and didn’t get to sleep either. However, while her grandfather was filming earlier, her mommy looked for a resting place to sleep for the day.

Therefore, she should wait until her daddy woke up first.

Chu Cichen, who had his eyes closed and was pretending to be sleeping, was trying to calm his emotions.

He didn’t wish to discuss Shen Ruojing’s wrongdoings with the child. After all, Shen Ruojing was her mother.

–

Shen Ruojing drove very quickly and caught up to Jing Zhen’s car in no time, following behind them.

She only looked in front expressionlessly, not saying a word.

Chu Tianye and Chu Yu sat on the rear seats with the dog. Both of them exchanged a glance, and Chu Yu was the first to speak up, “Mommy, don’t be angry. We will ignore Daddy in the future!”

Shen Ruojing said calmly, “No need. You guys can just get along as usual.”

It was impossible between her and Chu Cichen in this lifetime. After all, there was his beloved woman’s life standing between them.

However, the children were his. She wasn’t going to let the matters between adults affect the children.

Chu Tianye immediately replied, “That’s right. Why should we ignore him? Wouldn’t he get it easy then? We can use Daddy’s money for Mommy!”

Chu Yu. “... Money-grubber!”

The Yun Family’s manor wasn’t far from the film city, so it only took them an hour’s drive to reach it.

Although it was called an old manor, it looked more like a castle. It took up a land area of over 66.7 hectares and was a Chinese-style architecture. The walls on the outside were red and black, looking impressive and beautiful.

After the cars drove in, it took another three minutes for them to arrive at the car park in front of the main building.

After that, Shen Ruojing alighted from the car with the two children and one dog. They walked quickly and arrived next to Shen Qianhui’s side.

Shen Qianhui stared at the five-story high main building, looking as though she was in a bit of a trance.

Had her mother always been staying here?

She thought of that old lady, recalling how the old lady had gone all the way to Sea City to look for her daughter before her death, telling her about how she missed her daughter. Shen Qianhui suddenly felt a little sad.

Did her mother want to take a look at her before she died?

While Shen Qianhui was in her thoughts, Jing Zhen let out an exaggerated sigh and said, “It’s so luxurious! If I could live my old age in a place like this, my twilight years would be so comfortable!”

Shen Qianhui came back to her senses after hearing this.

That was right. Her mother didn’t have to worry about daily necessities, and Yun Zhengyang was filial to her. She was indeed very blessed to be able to live her final days here.

The grief in her heart was instantly gone.

Shen Ruojing was observing her parents with her peach blossom eyes.

Shen Qianhui was very smart when it came to doing business, but her identity as an orphan made her value kinship very much. She always had the heart of a saint at the wrong time.

On the other hand, while Jingzhen looked very unreliable, he could always cheer her mother up with just one sentence when her mother was sad.

Suddenly, a mocking laugh sounded.

Shen Ruojing looked over and saw Yun Lu holding onto a middle-aged woman’s arm, watching the show.

The middle-aged woman mocked, “Ignorant country bumpkins, it’s really a case of when one person succeeds, everyone around that person coattails to success as well!”

Jing Zhen. “?”

He felt puzzled. “Who are you?”

Yun Lu immediately introduced, “This is my mother, Mrs. Yun from the second house!”

At this moment, Madam Yun came walking over in a hurry.

When Mrs. Yun saw Madam Yun, her eyes instantly glowed with the yearning of listening to gossip.

(Oh my, the wife and the mistress have met up. The two of them are definitely going to fight it out, right?)

Madam Yun usually looked gentle and serious. Hence, each time Mrs. Yun’s husband quarreled with her, he would always say, “If you’re half as gentle as Eldest Sister-in-law, would I still look for women outside?”

Tsk tsk.

(So what if she is gentle and considerate? The mistress that Eldest Brother found is an even greater weirdo. She brought her entire family over!)

Mrs. Yun really felt regretful that she hadn’t brought out snacks to eat while watching the show.

However, she then saw Madam Yun walking over to Shen Qianhui. “Qianhui, welcome home.”

Mrs. Yun. “?”

Her eldest sister-in-law was pretending to be virtuous, right? That was true. After all, the other party had brought a large family with her, looking like they were only here to visit. She couldn’t expose this disguise, otherwise, it’d look really bad for everyone.

Madam Yun then brought Shen Qianhui and the rest into the house.

Madam Yun looked at Shen Ruojing and said to Yun Wei, “Little Wei, the seniors will sit here and have a chat. You can bring Jingjing upstairs to take a look around.”

Yun Wei then looked at Madam Yun worriedly, fearing that she might be angered.

However, Madam Yun brought Shen Qianhui over to the sofa warmly.

Her mother was... Why did the situation seem different from how she imagined it to be?

At the side, Yun Lu looked at Shen Ruojing and suddenly thought of something. She then quickly decided to run upstairs.

Shen Ruojing nodded at Yun Wei, and the two of them brought the two children upstairs as well. They had just arrived upstairs when they heard a vague sound of music. It was the sound of a zither, and the song played was [Guanglin San*].

Yun Wei explained, “It’s my younger brother who is playing the zither. He’s currently in the second year of university at Ford City Music Academy.”

Yun Wei had just given the introduction when the music stopped. Then, messy footsteps sounded from the room, and a tall, skinny male who shared quite a bit of resemblance with Yun Wei came charging out.

After seeing Shen Ruojing, Yun Yiheng shouted, “Scram! You guys aren’t welcome at our house!”

Yun Wei frowned. “Yun Yiheng, who allowed you to treat guests like this?”

Yun Yiheng said, “Sister, how are they our guests? I heard everything!”

Yun Lu followed behind Yun Yiheng, her expression looking proud.

When Yun Wei saw Yun Lu acting like this, she understood what had happened. Yun Wei frowned and said, “Things might not be what we imagine them to be. I feel that there are some misunderstandings here...”

“What misunderstandings could there be?!” Yun Yiheng flew into a rage. “Mother might be weak, but why are you also acting like this?”

Yun Yiheng then looked at Shen Ruojing again. “Our Yun Family don’t welcome you! We also don’t welcome your mother! Please leave immediately!”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She frowned, finding this whole thing very puzzling.

Yun Yiheng’s attitude toward her wasn’t normal.

Just as she was about to ask if there were any misunderstandings, she suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the room on the very left.

It was the room with the best view in the entire villa. It faced the morning sun and just by looking from the outside, it was clear that the room was big enough. It appeared very impressive in this villa.

As if noticing Shen Ruojing’s gaze, Yun Wei introduced, “That’s my great-aunt’s room. She was the head of the Yun Family before my father.”

Shen Ruojing was stunned.

Her grandmother’s room?

She couldn’t help but walk over quickly.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
