Chapter 405 - 405 Know A Little
405 Know A Little
At this moment, a family member arrived at the Chu Manor.
Chu Yuan personally led a woman in and after the woman saw Matriarch Chu, she greeted, “Eldest Aunt!”
Matriarch Chu looked at the girl and was shocked. “Qianshu? Why did you return?”
This person was none other than the biological daughter of Chu Yuan, Chu Qianshu!
All these years, she had been studying abroad. This was why Matriarch Chu was very shocked by her sudden appearance.
Chu Qianshu resembled people of the Chu Family and had the symbolic phoenix eyes. But sadly, she wore glasses, and this caused half of her gloriously beautiful large eyes to be covered.
Perhaps it was due to scientific research, but Chu Qianshu exuded a very old-fashioned aura. She was very young, only 23. However, her serious expression made everyone feel that she must be 32 instead.
If Matriarch Chu asked Yun Wei the same question, Yun Wei would probably say something like “Because I missed you.” However, Chu Qianshu replied seriously, “I came to the capital to represent my teacher in a science award ceremony.”
After saying that, she glanced around. “Where’s my older brother?”
The children of the Chu Family usually didn’t have many interactions with Chu Cichen.
Only Chu Qianshu, who had been studying abroad in recent years, treated Chu Cichen as her elder brother. Chu Cichen paid attention to her and helped her out, so their relationship was pretty good.
Matriarch Chu replied, “He’s at the company.”
Chu Yuan also said, “The Chu Corporation is such a huge business. Your elder brother naturally has to manage it well…”
Chu Qianshu nodded. “He is working very hard.”
Matriarch Chu. “…”
Such a remark was like a supervisor giving a comment after checking on a worker. Hearing it, Matriarch Chu didn’t know how to reply. But it was understandable since Chu Qianshu was immersed in scientific research and was not very well-versed in interpersonal communications.
Matriarch Chu’s lips twitched and she suddenly spoke, “It’s said that nieces would take after their aunts. I finally understood who Xiaomeng’s character resembles!”
Chu Yuan involuntarily laughed.
Upon hearing Chu Xiaomeng’s name, Chu Qianshu seemed to have realized something. She directly glanced upstairs. “Is Chu Yu here?”
“He’s above.”
“I’m going to test him and see if he has studied hard during this period.”
Matriarch Chu nodded.
Chu Qianshu soon went upstairs and located Chu Yu’s room. After that, she knocked on the door and entered. After giving Chu Yu a few questions and getting him to do them, she planned to look for her niece, which Matriarch Chu said resembled her a lot.
It was a pity that before she could locate Chu Xiaomeng, she heard Matriarch Chu and Chu Yuan’s voices from below.
Chu Yuan. “Eldest sister-in-law, this time around, Ruojing created quite a huge commotion. What do you think of this matter?”
Matriarch Chu’s tone was determined. “I absolutely trust Jingjing’s character. She isn’t such a person.”
Chu Yuan. “However, from the photographs, it can be seen that she treats Old Master Shen differently…Is Old Master Shen serious about acknowledging her as his god-granddaughter? Did Ruojing feel pressure due to Chu Cimo’s wife being someone from the Bai Family, so she went to fawn on Old Master Shen?”
Matriarch Chu shook her head. “Definitely not.”
After saying that, she was puzzled as well.
Shen Ruojing was someone who was afraid of trouble. Although she stayed in the Chu Manor now, her relationship with the others in the Chu Family wasn’t very good.
But during that day at the banquet, Matriarch Chu clearly saw that Shen Ruojing was chatting very happily with Old Master Shen!
That amount of passion caused Matriarch Chu to feel puzzled. Why did Ruojing become completely unfamiliar?
Could she really feel pressured by Bai Shanshan’s status, so she wanted to find a stronger backing?
Matriarch Chu was bewildered, but she wouldn’t say such things to Chu Yuan. She believed in Shen Ruojing’s character.
Chu Yuan continued, “Should we interfere in this matter? After all, if Chu Cichen’s wife, Shen Ruojing, had scandalous rumors linking her and Old Master Shen, it would be bad for our company’s image. The majority of people in the company believe in these rumors…”
Matriarch Chu silently sighed. “Cichen understands this matter, so just leave it to him to handle.”
Actually, the Shen and Chu families had both acted and suppressed the impact of that post to the lowest. Right now, only people in the scientific community circulated those screenshots privately.
Chu Qianshu who was standing upstairs frowned upon hearing their conversation.
She returned to Chu Yu’s room, looking at him solving the difficult questions, and she suddenly asked, “How’s your mommy’s education level?”
Chu Yu. “?”
He lifted his head and looked at Chu Qianshu before he twitched his lips. “Still okay I guess.”
Chu Qianshu. “Does it mean it is not very good? In that case, she is a bad match for your father!”
Chu Yu. “??”
As a mommy’s boy, he explained domineeringly, “Although my mommy’s math isn’t good, she is better than daddy in all other aspects.”
“How bad is her math level?”
Chu Yu. “?”
“Does she understand calculus? This subject is taught in university, right?”
“…”
“She doesn’t? What about geometry? This subject is taught in high school, right?”
“…”
Chu Qianshu was stunned. “She doesn’t know that? Could it be that her standard is at elementary school?”
Chu Yu. “????”
Although his mommy’s math skill level was very weak, she was a very good mother. In his heart, no one could destroy her image as a good mother!
Chu Yu lowered his head and suddenly asked, “Aunt, how do I do this question?”
Chu Qianshu glanced at the question and explained a huge load of information to him before asking, “Do you understand now?”
“Nope, can you explain again?”
“…”
–
When Shen Ruojing returned to the Chu Manor, Chu Qianshu was already on the verge of exploding.
She had explained the question to Chu Yu for two whole hours, and her tongue was parched!
Hence, after Shen Ruojing greeted her, Chu Qianshu’s countenance was extremely ugly to behold. She coldly nodded and was about to say something, only to see Shen Ruojing going to her room to take a fishing rod. Clearly, she was preparing to head out for fishing.
Chu Qianshu. “…”
She involuntarily took a step forward. “Eldest sis-in-law, I wish to talk to you.”
Shen Ruojing halted her steps. She then turned her head and looked at Chu Qianshu. “Speak.”
Chu Qianshu took a deep breath and continued, “I don’t know how the relationship between you and my older brother is, but men are unreliable. You should always rely on yourself. For people of the Chu Family, be it men or women, we are champions in our chosen fields. Do you understand my meaning?”
Shen Ruojing. “??”
She shook her head blankly.
Chu Qianshu hated iron for not becoming steel as she continued, “We have a top-tier hacker and a top researcher. As for Cimo, don’t assume he’s only good at playing the fool. He has things he is good at as well. And my eldest brother is like a dragon among humans. All of us are champions in our chosen fields. But what about you?”
Shen Ruojing touched her chin and her lips suddenly curled. “All of these that you spoke about…I know a little about all of them.”
Chu Qianshu. “??”
Shen Ruojing continued. “Anything else?”
Chu Qianshu. “!”
Seeing that Shen Ruojing didn’t speak anymore, directly turning to leave, Chu Qianshu was so angry that she stomped her feet. “Truly, rotten wood cannot be sculpted! How can a talent like my brother fall in love with a hooligan like this? Other than her pretty face, what contributions has she made to humanity?!”
From that day onward, Chu Qianshu kept showing a dark face to Shen Ruojing.
She found Shen Ruojing very unpleasant and was filled with prejudice against Shen Ruojing.
Three days later, the science award ceremony finally began!
