Chapter 148: Headache Again!

Ye Lu grunted in reply. She then smiled, “I can be at ease then.”
Shen Ruojing was surprised. “Hmm?”
Ye Lu continued, “Back then, he treated you like this and almost caused you to die in an explosion. I naturally don’t want him to be cured. However, your calming pills are still circulating in the market, and anyone can buy them as long as they have money. I don’t want him to be cured.”
Shen Ruojing sat in the room and touched her chin. She suddenly asked, “If they contact you again, agree to it.”
“What?” Ye Lu’s voice turned shrill. “Don’t tell me you are really going to cure him? Have you forgotten how he treated you back then? You should just let him die from pain!”
Shen Ruojing looked at her. “How did he treat me?”
“…” Ye Lu guiltily fell silent. “Don’t be angry. I was just curious and want to know what happened between you two back then. This is why I asked the question on the dark web. In the end, someone actually replied to me.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Why was Ye Lu so gossipy?
She didn’t bother with this and continued speaking, “I’m just heading over to put on a show. Who says that I will be able to cure him the moment I go? I just want to see if I can find the evidence that Chu Cimo is innocent from his hands.”
Ye Lu was enlightened. “So this is the case~ I’ll go and contact them now.”
After hanging up, Shen Ruojing stood up and left. She was preparing to head to the study upstairs to find Chu Xiaomeng.
Just when she walked out, she saw Fang Panxia chatting with Chu Yuan in the living lounge below.
During these few days, Chu Yuan had been staying with the Chu Family and was helping with the matter where the shareholders wanted to sell their shares.
Fang Panxia should have just arrived. The two of them were standing around the door and chatting.
Chu Yuan smiled at Fang Panxia. “Miss Fang, it’s all because of you that the company still has one last hint of hope. You are really the savior of our Chu Corporation!”
Fang Panxia humbly replied, “It’s all thanks to Bro Chen who saw something in me back then. He sponsored me for my studies, so this is what I ought to do to repay him.”
“The Chu Corporation sponsors so many people every year, but those people have no accomplishments after they graduated. Miss Fang is the only one who can help the company get past this crisis.” Chu Yuan laughed.
At this moment, a shareholder who was here to sell his shares sighed when he heard their conversation. “It’s all really thanks to Miss Fang that the company still has some hope.”
“It’s really nothing much. This is what I should do.” Fang Panxia spread her arms and spoke very humbly, causing Chu Yuan and the other shareholder to be very satisfied.
Chu Yuan looked at the shareholder. “Since our company has some hope now, why did you still come here?”
The shareholder sighed. “I only have this bit of shares in my hands, but this is the entire hope of my family. I feel really panicky during this period and am very afraid that the price of the shares will evaporate like water. So, I still decided to sell them.”
Chu Yuan’s countenance turned dark. However, he had no right to question the choice of others.
In addition, this person wasn’t part of the Chu Family. He had no obligation to stick with them all the way.
Shen Ruojing could faintly guess what Chu Cichen wanted to do, so she was quite happy that these shareholders were selling their shares. She then headed to the third level.
However, just when she took two steps forward, Fang Panxia saw her and called out to her. “Miss Shen.”
Shen Ruojing paused and turned to look at her.
Fang Panxia had a hint of worry in her eyes. “Are you going to see Xiaomeng? I heard of her sickness. She has social phobia, right? I know a few psychologists and can help by introducing some of them to her.”
Shen Ruojing’s expression slowly turned cold. “No need.”
Chu Xiaomeng wasn’t sick at all.
It was because her intellect was too high, so her eq was low. This made it so that she didn’t like interacting with others.
Fang Panxia continued, “Miss Chen, Xiaomeng is the little young miss of the Chu Family. It really isn’t too good if she keeps on hiding and refusing to meet people. A child being sick is a major matter but you…”
“Do you have too much free time on your hands?” Shen Ruojing frowned.
Fang Panxia lowered her head. “Sorry, I was too brash…”
Her appearance caused the shareholder who had just entered to furrow his brows.
Back then, he had bought some shares of the Chu Corporation because he wanted to retire in peace. But who could have known that the number one influential family in Sea City would be pressured by others to such an extent today?
And everything that happened was caused by this Shen Ruojing, the femme fatale.
He angrily spoke, “Miss Shen, Miss Fang only spoke because she has kind intentions. In addition, it’s true that the little young miss of the Chu Family doesn’t like to meet people. As her mother, don’t you know how to show concern for your child?”
Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes coldly looked at him. “I don’t show concern for Xiaomeng? Xiaomeng has returned to the Chu Family for such a long time. Don’t tell me that her father and grandmother aren’t concerned about her as well?”
The shareholder was stumped. “How can that be possible!?”
He dared to reproach Shen Ruojing, but how could he dare to do the same thing to Chu Cichen and Matriarch Chu?!
Fang Panxia hurriedly added, “Sorry, we didn’t think too deeply into it…”
When she explained it like this, the shareholder grew angry again. “Miss Shen, even if Miss Fang said the wrong thing, she only said it due to kind intentions. All the trouble you caused the company has been resolved by her! Right now, she is the benefactor of the Chu Corporation, so how can you talk to her like this? You are really lacking in manners!”
Chu Yuan hurriedly said, “Old Gao, you can’t put it this way.”
During these few days, he had been staying here, so he understood Shen Ruojing’s position in the Chu Family.
Matriarch Chu was fond of her and kept calling her ‘Jingjing’. It was like she wanted nothing more than to organize a wedding between Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen immediately.
Although Chu Cichen’s attitude was cold, just based on how he kept going against Dugu Xiao, Chu Yuan could tell what Shen Ruojing’s position was in Chu Cichen’s heart.
Even the profligate Chu Cimo was respectful toward her.
Since she had given birth to three children for the Chu Family, Chu Yuan also didn’t loathe her.
However, Old Gao’s anger was clearly surging. He looked at Chu Yuan. “What do you mean I can’t put it this way? In any case, I’m going to sell my shares. I naturally have to say what I want. I have been a part of the Chu Corporation for so many years and survived due to the dividends I received from my shares. But now, what happened? The price fell by one-third! If it continues falling, we are all going to be bankrupt. Who’s the one who caused all this? Wasn’t it her? CEO Chu is muddle-headed and has been blinded by this vixen. Are all of you going to be muddle-headed as well?”
Chu Yuan calmly replied, “She is the mother of the three children, and her status is akin to Cichen’s wife. If someone wants you to give your wife up, are you willing to do it?”
Old Gao frowned. “Is she worthy? When something happens to the company, she acts like an innocent bystander and only knows how to strut around in the Chu Manor. What can she give to the Chu Corporation? For the sake of the company, Miss Fang ignored the danger to herself and went alone to treat Dugu Xiao. During this period, what was Shen Ruojing doing? How does she have the cheek to speak with Miss Fang in such a manner now?”
As they quarreled, Fang Panxia’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and discovered that it was Dugu Xiao’s butler who was calling her. She quickly listened. It was unknown what the butler told her, but Fang Panxia exclaimed in shock, “He has a headache again? I thought he already ate the medicine?”
