n

nAfter reading the report, Shen Ruojing’s expression turned complicated.

n

nSo she had really given birth to triplets back then…

n

nAnd she, as the mother, had never known of Chu Yu’s existence!

n

nAt the thought of the abuse he had suffered in the past few days, the wounds on his body, and how thin the child had become because he hadn’t eaten for a few days, Shen Ruojing’s heart ached again.

n

nYe Lu had read the report. At this moment, she said, “Baby, you’re really amazing~ Triplets. Only an amazing person would be able to give birth to triplets!”

n

n“…”

n

nShen Ruojing had always ignored Ye Lu’s gibberish. She then stood up and opened the door, only to discover that Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng were actually at her door, sizing Chu Yu up curiously.

n

nChu Yu asked, “Is this Mommy’s room?”

n

nChu Tianye’s lips twitched. “The DNA test isn’t done yet. Don’t call her mommy.”

n

n“The results will be the same.” Chu Yu was actually a little flustered, but he still said, “If I’m really not Mommy’s child, then let’s just get Mommy to marry Daddy. That way, she’ll also be my Mommy!”

n

nChu Tianye was rendered speechless and snorted.

n

nChu Yu walked up to him and said, “If we’re brothers, then I should give you half of my good stuff. I have a bank card with the red packet money I’ve accumulated over the years…”

n

nChu Tianye immediately chuckled and hooked his arm around Chu Yu’s shoulder. “Good brother, you must be my mommy’s son! There’s no need to do the DNA test anymore. Why go to the extra trouble? Sister, don’t you think so as well?”

n

nChu Xiaomeng, who was holding the dinosaur soft toy, said, “…Oh!” She wondered if there were books included in her new brother’s red packet money. It would be best if they were those that were a unique copy or were out of print!

n

nShen Ruojing: ‘…’

n

nHer heart suddenly ached.

n

nChu Tianye had a carefree personality and did not notice that Chu Yu’s actions were actually done to please him.

n

nChildren who did not have a mother by their side yearned for love even more.

n

nShen Ruojing walked over and squatted down. She then looked at Chu Yu and said, “Chu Yu, hello. Let’s get to know each other again. I’m your mother.”

n

nTears instantly welled up in Chu Yu’s eyes.

n

nHe looked even more pitiful with his thin face. He nodded vigorously. “Mommy!”

n

n“En.”

n

n“Mommy!”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“Mommy!”

n

n“Little Yu, I’m here.”

n

n“Mommy…”

n

nWhen Chu Tianye squeezed in between them, the warm atmosphere between Shen Ruojing and Chu Yu was instantly ruined. “Is he really my brother?”

n

nChu Yu’s pupils contracted as he looked at Shen Ruojing uneasily.

n

nShen Ruojing nodded. “Yes, you’re triplets.”

n

nShe handed the DNA report to Chu Yu.

n

nChu Yu took it and carefully checked the results. He then heaved a sigh of relief again. “It’s true!”

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, a pair of big hands reached over and took the DNA report away. The few of them turned their heads and saw Chu Cichen standing there. He was very tall and when he stood in the small living room on the second floor, he immediately made the space seem cramped.

n

nShen Ruojing’s expression that had just brightened up turned gloomy again.

n

nYe Lu noticed the atmosphere and looked at Chu Xiaomeng. She was about to say that she wanted to go to Chu Xiaomeng’s room to play when she remembered that this child was special and definitely didn’t like people going to her room. Hence, she looked at Chu Tianye and asked, “Little Ye, where’s your room? Why don’t you bring us there and show us? Let your daddy and mommy have some time to talk. Is that alright?”

n

nChu Tianye turned around and left. “Alright, my room is here. Aunty Lu Cha*, you mustn’t peek at my diary~”

n

n“I’m called Ye Lu, not Lu Cha~”

n

n“But my mommy says that you’re Lu Cha!”

n

n“…”

n

nAfter the few of them went into Chu Tianye’s room, Chu Cichen closed the report. “So Miss Shen has done the test.”

n

nHe fell silent for a moment, suddenly unsure how he should face the woman before him.

n

nOver the years, many women had pursued him. However, most of them gave up because of his cold disposition. On the other hand, this woman had given birth to three children of his. She also liked him and had repeatedly asked to move in with the Chu Family. Moreover, he had even said the other time to ask her to wait for him to come and marry her…

n

nChu Cichen suddenly didn’t know how to explain himself.

n

nWould she be disappointed if he said that his words back then were just an improvised measure for the sake of putting up an act?

n

nWhile he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Shen Ruojing frown. She then headed downstairs.

n

nChu Cichen followed behind her in confusion. When he went downstairs, he saw Matriarch Chu and Chu Cimo sitting on the sofa in the living room. He didn’t say anything and followed Shen Ruojing out.

n

nAs soon as Shen Ruojing stepped out of the house, she saw Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen standing at the gate.

n

nWith Shen Ruotong’s help, Matriarch Shen was holding Shen Qianhui’s hand and crying, “I was forced by Madam Lin at that time. I raised you, so how could I be so heartless to you?”

n

nShen Ruotong said from the side, “Aunt, Grandmother was worried about you these few days that she couldn’t eat or sleep well!”

n

nMatriarch Shen sighed. “Since the Chu Family has told the public that this is a misunderstanding, your two younger brothers and I have discussed it, and we’ve decided to bring you home.”

n

nShen Qianhui was stunned.

n

nEver since she was chased out five years ago, she had always wanted to go home.

n

nBut all these years, she had been busy with the Shen Family’s business, and it was only some time ago that she finally came to a realization.

n

nKinship wasn’t something that could be forced to happen through the exchange of benefits.

n

nNow, Matriarch Shen suddenly came to tell her that she could go home. She felt as if a lifetime had passed. It was as if that foolish her was from her previous life.

n

nShe didn’t say anything, but Jing Zhen said, “Then are you guys going to continue to discuss the collaboration with the Z Corporation?”

n

nMatriarch Shen glanced at him and said disdainfully, “You’re just a son-in-law who married into our family. How can you talk to me like that?”

n

n“Honey~~” Jing Zhen called out aggrievedly.

n

nShen Qianhui immediately stood in front of him. “Mother, he’s my husband! I hope you treat him with more respect.”

n

nMatriarch Shen frowned and was about to scold her when she thought of the purpose of her visit today. Hence, she suppressed her anger and said, “Mother is here to bring you home.”

n

nAs soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ruojing’s voice rang out. “We can go back, but how many shares will the Shen Family give my mother?”

n

nMatriarch Shen choked.

n

nShen Ruojing leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. In the tone of one who was watching a good show, she said, “If you don’t give her any shares, how can you say that you really love my mother? You’re not just doing this to collaborate with the Z Corporation, are you?”

n

n“…”

n

nMatriarch Shen didn’t know how to reply to this, so she could only try to drag things out. “We can talk about these things slowly later on. We’ve been talking for so long. Why? You aren’t even inviting me into your house now?”

n

nShen Qianhui lowered her head. “Mother, that’s not it… We have guests at home today…”

n

nMatriarch Shen said disdainfully, “What guests can you have?”

n

nShen Qianhui answered, “They are Jingjing’s… friends.”

n

n“Her friends? Then all the more they aren’t good people! She’s ignorant, incompetent, immoral, and probably made many bad friends outside. They’re all shady people…”

n

nAs soon as Matriarch Shen finished speaking, she saw Chu Cichen walking out of the house. She frowned and said, “This is her so-called friend? Given how good-looking he is, he must be another gigolo!”

n

nShe looked at Chu Cichen impatiently and asked, “What’s your name?”
