Chapter 26: Chu Yu is So Smart

freewebnovel.(c)omThis vent was only the size of a fist. In addition, because the walls were thick, she wasn’t able to see many things.
The lighting in the room was very dim. From her angle, she could only see a corner of the room, as well as the sounds of the men gambling inside.
Did she find the wrong location?
Just when this thought appeared in her mind, she heard a thudding sound. Chu Yu’s body was tossed to the ground like a gunny sack and appeared before her.
From her location, she could see that he was blindfolded and his limbs were bound. His lips were also dried and cracked, and there was a look of agony on his face.
“I’m going to strangle you to death!”
“Trash!”
“Useless shit!”
Lin Wanru’s angry voice then rang out…
Shen Ruojing’s pupils violently narrowed. She felt as though an invisible hand was clutching her heart, and this caused her to feel hard to breathe.
Although she wasn’t sure if he was her child or not, she felt heartache when looking at his appearance. She also felt rage and wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Wanru, that beast, into pieces!
However, her rationality told her that she couldn’t be impulsive.
Chu Yu was only five years old and basically couldn’t resist. He was in danger of losing his life at any moment!
She drew a deep breath and forced herself to watch the situation.
She had to see clearly to remember it.
After she rescued Chu Yu, she would pay Lin Wanru and those who bullied him a thousand times back!
Lin Wanru didn’t dare to stay here for too long. After venting a large part of her anger, she opened the door and quickly left. On the other hand, Chu Yu was lying on the ground as his chest heaved up and down.
“Check if he is still alive. That woman is so ruthless. She almost killed him!”
As the voice of the kidnappers rang out, someone walked over and undid the blindfold on Chu Yu’s eyes, checking his breathing. “He won’t die.” fre ewebn ovel
Chu Yu’s little body was flipped around and just so coincidentally, his eyes were now pointed to the vent.
There was no more light in his beautiful phoenix eyes. He was as pitiful as a puppy that had been abandoned. But at the next moment, he saw her!
Shen Ruojing’s eyes turned red, and she made a shushing gesture.
Chu Yu immediately shut up. His eyes slowly turned red as tears filled them.
Shen Ruojing heard Lin Wanru going down. She then steeled her heart and made another gesture that she had no idea if he could understand. After that, she jumped down from the wall and followed Lin Wanru.
In the secret chamber.
Chu Yu glanced at the vent and recalled the gesture Shen Ruojing made…He suddenly started coughing intensely and puked a mouthful of blood.
The kidnappers immediately grew nervous. “Will this child die? Quickly get a doctor over!”
–
Shen Ruojing and Lin Wanru both went back to the villa one after another and headed toward the living room.
All of a sudden, Shen Ruojing saw a tall figure standing at a corner up ahead. This man was none other than Chu Cichen!
Shen Ruojing glanced at Lin Wanru. Her eyes then gleamed as she turned and walked toward Chu Cichen!
Chu Cichen was currently frowning as he contemplated.
He had found Chu Yu before Shen Ruojing, but he was in the same situation as Shen Ruojing. He didn’t dare to bring men to barge in.
That would be checkmate.
As he was pondering, a soft and coy voice drifted over. “Cichen, so you are here~”
Chu Cichen: “?”
He lifted his head and saw Shen Ruojing walking toward him with a passionate look on her face.
Chu Cichen’s gaze turned cold, but he spotted Lin Wanru’s silhouette in the corner of his eyes. It was as though Lin Wanru was walking over because she heard Shen Ruojing’s voice.
Chu Cichen’s eyes glowed and Shen Ruojing continued before he could say anything. “I like you so much, but you kept refusing to bring me to your home. Is the reason because of Chu Yu?”
(She likes me?...) Chu Cichen was shocked.
(Is this why she weaved a lie saying that we had half a year of romance before?)
He didn’t say anything and Shen Ruojing moved closer, almost coming in contact with his body. She then spoke in an enchanting voice, “But I heard that something seemed to have happened to him. If he is no longer around, you won’t reject me anymore, right?”
She exuded a light fragrance that seemingly dispersed the summer heat in this hot weather.
Chu Cichen, who had always steered clear of females, felt himself blushing. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but because he could see Lin Wanru in his peripheral vision, he decided to stretch his hand out to grab Shen Ruojing’s waist.
Shen Ruojing was only acting, but she didn’t expect that Chu Cichen would hold her waist and even forcefully pull her into his embrace. After that, she heard him speaking in a low voice. “If something really happened to Little Yu, I’ll marry you.”
(...Scum! Little Yu is so tragic now, but this guy actually has time for such thoughts?)
Shen Ruojing silently cursed and didn’t notice that Chu Cichen had an indifferent expression when he said this.
Right now, he chose to join the act for the sake of saving Little Yu. He could only hope that Shen Ruojing wouldn’t continue sinking deeper into this fantasy. He had to make things clear to her after Little Yu was rescued.
Both of them, with various thoughts respectively, embraced each other.
In Lin Wanru’s eyes, this was a perfect match.
Shen Ruojing’s appearance was so beautiful that even Lin Wanru had no choice but to admit this. And Chu Cichen was also very handsome. When the two of them stood together, neither suppressed each other, but they actually gave off a glow that made them seem even more good-looking.
Lin Wanru clenched her fists and felt that this scene was like a needle pricking her heart. She rushed forward to interrupt them. “Miss Shen, Mr. Chu, there’s still a good show in the banquet hall waiting for you two!”
Shen Ruojing turned her head with a half-smile and said, “Oh? Cichen, let us return to our seats then.”
Chu Cichen: “...Okay.”
The two of them separated, each moving in different directions.
After Shen Ruojing walked past Lin Wanru, Lin Wanru’s mobile phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the notification before whispering, “Bring him a doctor if he is sick! No, he cannot go to the hospital. He has to be kept alive!”
Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Lin Wanru’s words.
She didn’t expect Chu Yu to be so smart and actually understand her gesture to feign sickness…
Lin Wanru gave a few more instructions before hanging up. She then clenched her fists and spoke, “Shen Ruojing, I will never let you enter the Chu Family! I’m going to let you witness the difference in status between an ordinary person and a rich family!”
Just as her voice rang out, she turned and entered the banquet hall. “Mother, today is your birthday, and I prepared a special gift for you.”
She lifted her hand and clapped.
The music suddenly rang out from the entrance, and a few dancers and singers entered.
A man with a tall figure and elegant demeanor pushed a birthday cake and walked in. This was none other than Jing Zhen.
He originally had a smile on his face that was as gentle as jade, but after entering, he immediately saw Shen Qianhui and Shen Ruojing who stood close to Lin Wanru.
The smile on his face slowly froze.
Lin Wanru laughed. “In ancient times, any birthday celebration would definitely have some performance to accompany it. Even people from the modern era like to hire little celebrities to spruce up the atmosphere. I wasn’t able to afford a movie king, but there are no problems for me to hire an unpopular actor. Mother, I booked him for an entire day. You can get him to do whatever you want!”
After speaking, she smiled and looked at Jing Zhen. “I recalled that you were once an actor? Why don’t you act like a monkey? If you can make my mother laugh, I will pay you a bonus!”
