Chapter 300 - 300 Meeting between Grandparent and Grandchild!

300 Meeting between Grandparent and Grandchild!

Shen Ruojing had seen Bai Shanshan’s mother before.

Bai Shanshan didn’t resemble her mother, so this meant that she probably resembled her father more.

Shen Ruojing vaguely recalled that Bai Shanshan’s father had died a long time ago, hence, she and her mother relied on each other.

At this moment, by asking in such a manner, it actually made Shen Ruojing appear very rude.

However, Bai Shanshan understood Shen Ruojing’s character and knew that there must be some reason she was asking this. Therefore, she answered obediently, “Bai Yao. Is anything the matter?”

“Nothing much,” Shen Ruojing replied. She decided to go ask Bai Xiaojiu what his second uncle’s name was.

Before she found out the truth, she wasn’t going to tell Bai Shanshan anything. If it turned out to be wrong, wouldn’t it be awkward?

Bai Shanshan didn’t take this matter to heart.

The few of them then sat down to chat. Only then did Shen Ruojing understand that the reason Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan hadn’t come along with the butler earlier was because Bai Shanshan still had some matters to take care of.

Yan Zihao had died and Bai Shanshan did not need to process the divorce documents anymore. She just reported the death of her partner.

Moreover, Yan Zihao’s mother had passed away as well. His only younger sister, Yan Zijing, was dealt a great mental blow and was lying in a sanatorium, living a life that was worse than death.

Therefore, all of the Yan Family’s assets went to Bai Shanshan.

After Bai Shanshan went through the inheritance, she discovered that the Yan Family didn’t have much money at the beginning. Over the years, they had relied on her voice to earn money. Hence, she didn’t take a merciful stand but chose to keep all the money, giving them to Yan Xiaoqi. It would be considered compensation for the child over the years.

Just after she changed the ownership of the Yan Family’s properties to Xiaoqi’s name yesterday, Matriarch Chu called and urged both of them to come over.

Madam Bai came along too. Matriarch Chu was afraid that she might feel uneasy from staying with them, so she helped to find a three-story villa nearby and hired a nanny for her as well.

Both families were going to discuss the marriage between Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan next.

At this moment, upstairs.

Chu Tianye’s surprised gasp rang out. “So, you’ve inherited a large amount of inheritance?!”

The crybaby Yan Xiaoqi nodded.

Chu Tianye instantly said enviously, “The most wonderful thing in life is for your parents to rise in position, and die… allowing you to inherit a tremendous amount of inheritance! I didn’t expect you to have reached the pinnacle of life at such a young age. Sigh, on the other hand, I have to work harder. Depending on my daddy’s health situation, I’ll probably have to wait for another 70 to 80 years…”

Chu Cichen who had just reached the door. “…”

His lips twitched. He really had no idea if he should feel happy that his son hoped that he could still live for another 70 to 80 years or to feel angry due to the pity in his son’s voice!

Chu Tianye was really a good son to him! It was really a case of father gone, son smiles*!!! Such great filial piety!!!

At this moment, his phone rang.

Chu Cichen picked up the call and Lu Cheng’s voice rang out. “Bro Chen, I’ve contacted the kindergarten. That kindergarten for kids from distinguished families has a round to interview the parents. They have high expectations of their parents. Not only do the parents have to be well-learned, but they also have to come from a good educational background and be a loving couple. Lord Jing and yourself haven’t gotten a marriage certificate, so I planned on using an overseas identity to get in touch with them, letting you guys skip this segment…”

Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes lit up a little.

Loving couple! …

He thought about it silently for a moment before saying with seriousness, “No need. It’d be easy to leave clues behind if we use a foreign identity to contact them. We’ll just go for the interview.”

Lu Cheng. “?”

Why did he feel that getting exposed wasn’t the reason?

He couldn’t help but ask, “Bro Chen, are you sure? Lord Jing took an unorthodox path and didn’t graduate from a proper famous university. She probably won’t be able to pass the interview.”

Chu Cichen nodded. “You’re right. Then go talk to them and have them focus on the topic that inclines toward a good family atmosphere…”

Lu Cheng. “????”

Who had said that getting in touch with them would expose their identity?!

During dinner, the entire family found out about this piece of news.

Chu Xiaomeng was sneakily passing a piece of vegetable to Chu Tianye and hadn’t retracted her chopsticks when she heard the shocking news that she had to go to school!

Going to school meant that there’d be living people!

It was really scary!

She broke down immediately.

The sociable Chu Tianye jumped up excitedly. “Wow, am I going to get to know new VIPs… students?”

Chu Yu threw a dissatisfied glance at Shen Ruojing. Uh, he didn’t wish to go to school. He wished to stay with his mommy forever…

Even Chuyu barked twice at the side.

The three children had different thoughts. Only Chu Xiaoqi, who was very innocent, nodded. “Alright, Eldest Uncle.”

All three children could finally be sent to school. Shen Ruojing had just heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Cichen suddenly looking at her. “Jingjing, this special kindergarten needs to interview the parents.”

Shen Ruojing. “???”

The next day, Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing brought the three kids, while Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan brought along Chu Xiaoqi. The two families went out together.

They quickly arrived at International Royal Kindergarten.

Shen Ruojing got out of the car and looked at this place.

The kindergarten had Chinese-style infrastructure, and the entrance was very impressive, with two lion statues standing there. If it wasn’t because it was written on the signboard that this was a kindergarten, she would have thought that she had arrived at a Prince Manor!

Shen Ruojing was looking at it when Bai Shanshan, who was behind her, spoke uneasily, “I looked for someone yesterday to learn about this school. The enrollment criteria they have are extremely strict and they have very high expectations of parents. However, my university isn’t a 985 or 211* and I’m just an undergraduate. Would we fail?”

Chu Cimo scratched his head. “Even if you graduated from a famous university, they’d probably still not care about you. Don’t be nervous, we will just attend the interview casually. Anyway, if we can pass it, it’d be a pleasant surprise. If we can’t, then just let Big Bro donate a building to them. We’d still be able to pass it then.”

Bai Shanshan. “…”

Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched. At this moment, her hand was grabbed by a small hand. She turned and saw Chu Tianye looking at her seriously. “Mommy, you graduated from Sea City University. Your educational background isn’t sufficient either, right? But you must remember, even if I can’t pass the enrollment assessment, you mustn’t donate a building! It’s not worth it!”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

At this moment, the area beside her was filled with another presence. It was unknown when Chu Cichen had walked over and stood beside her.

The man laughed and said in a low voice, “There’s no need to be nervous. The founder of this kindergarten is an unmarried lady. Back in their days, not getting married was a way of challenging the world. Therefore, she can be considered a person with temperament. Other than looking at the parents’ external conditions, enrollment mainly depends on the family atmosphere.”

The main thing was that he had contacted them and was sure that the admission was almost certain.

They just needed to go through a formality now.

Shen Ruojing raised her eyebrows and was about to say that she wasn’t worried when her hand was grabbed by a large warm hand.

She was slightly stunned. She then turned around and saw that the tips of the man’s ears were red. He coughed and said, “The family atmosphere is mainly about the married couple’s relationship. Jingjing, relax. We’re an old couple with three children now.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

The three children were almost six years old, which meant that under normal conditions, they would have been married for seven years.

In a family of seven years, the couple’s fingers wouldn’t interlink when they were holding hands, right?

Her lips curled, but she didn’t expose him. She just followed him as they walked.

Suddenly, Bai Shanshan let out a surprised cry. “Oh no, I forgot my identification card in the car. I’ll go and get it.”

After saying that, she handed Chu Xiaoqi to Chu Cimo, while she turned and ran toward the entrance.

Chu Cimo wanted to say that he would go get it, but Bai Shanshan had moved very far away.

Bai Shanshan quickly ran to the entrance. After getting her identification card, she then rushed back into the kindergarten anxiously. However, at this moment, a few bodyguards suddenly dashed over from the other direction, blocking the entrance.

The domineering bodyguards accidentally bumped into her, and her identification card fell to the floor.

At this moment, an aged voice said, “You guys should be careful. You just bumped into a young lady.”

Matriarch Bai was being supported by Shen Wanying and had just steadied herself after getting out of the car when she saw Bai Shanshan falling down from the collision. She then walked over to Bai Shanshan quickly and showed a hint of concern on her stern face. “Lass, are you alright?”

Bai Shanshan waved her hand and got up from the ground. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

When Bai Shanshan fell, her hair covered her face and Matriarch Bai didn’t manage to see her looks clearly. However, at this moment, when her face was completely exposed in front of Matriarch Bai, the latter was instantly stunned.

Why did this girl look so familiar?
