Chapter 189: She Has Always Been Standing In The Light
The maid intentionally paused to gain the second aunt’s attention. She then continued, “They say they want a few heat dispersal pills!”
The second aunt. “??”
Matriarch Chu was also a little startled. “What’s going on?”
The maid smiled. “Oh, the celebrity who’s live streaming said there was no transmissible disease, right? In the end, she just coughed out blood earlier! Her face got smacked under the eyes of tens of millions of people and she’s currently trending.
“Also, it’s all thanks to that great celebrity who advertised our heat dispersal pills. Right now, I’m afraid that we won’t have enough supply to meet the demand. Even the major pharmacies have no stock, and the 50,000 pills in Dongye Pharmacy were all cleanly sold. All these rich ladies weren’t able to purchase any, so they could only come here to beg!”
After the maid finished speaking, she added, “There were 50,000 pills, so how could those people out there fail to buy any? With money, you can do anything. Now that they are here to beg for heat dispersal pills, I think they mostly want to use this as a pretext to meet with Matriarch, so they can apologize. Oh right, they all bring gifts over. I think they all know about Matriarch’s hobby, and they bring cash.”
Matriarch Chu was as calm as ever. No matter what she encountered, she was able to control her emotions. She calmly said, “I don’t have to receive them personally then. We still have some heat dispersal pills at home. You can help to distribute the pills to them.”
“Okay!”
The maid happily went out. Only then did Matriarch Chu cast a glance at the second aunt who had a shocked expression on her face.
Earlier, she was relaxing on the sofa, acting tyrannically like a very rich person. She had felt that Matriarch Chu’s status as the matriarch of the number one influential family in Sea City had fallen, hence, she ignored her and sat down casually without being invited.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but straighten her body. The casual demeanor she just had vanished gradually, and the fear she had toward this big sister-in-law of hers slowly returned.
The second aunt gulped down a mouthful of saliva. “S…sis-in…”
Matriarch Chu’s aura was extremely imposing. “Second sis-in-law, do you still have something on? You can return if you have nothing else to say. I’m very busy.”
The second aunt stood up dumbfoundedly and walked out like a wooden puppet.
After taking two steps forward, she suddenly recalled something and quickly turned back. “Sis-in-law, t…the heat dispersal pills…”
“I’ve given some to you previously. Didn’t you say you don’t want them?” Matriarch Chu looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. “I remember that you tossed them into the bin.”
“…” The second aunt was filled with unwillingness. “In that case, the return of thanks you were talking about with regard to my niece…”
Matriarch Chu laughed. “I thought you said there was no need? Since that’s the case, I won’t give them to her in case she despises the pills. Second sis-in-law, I won’t send you away as I don’t want to interact with those people outside.”
The last sentence was spoken with arrogance and imposingness. She had completely regained her demeanor as the Matriarch of the number one influential family in Sea City.
The second aunt still wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to. Her mouth opened and closed, and she could only leave with her tail in between her legs at the end.
When the second aunt went out and saw the other people outside, all of them immediately came forth to greet her. Some even grabbed her and spoke, “I thought you people from the second house had sold your shares back when the Chu Corporation encountered trouble. Are you afraid that Matriarch Chu would be angry, so you came back to mend your relationship?”
Hearing this, the group of people immediately started avoiding her.
The second aunt. “…”
She angrily panted and returned home.
At home, her son and niece were waiting for her. As she entered, her son immediately rushed forward. “Mom, did you see it? The Chu Corporation has risen again. Their share prices are shooting up like rockets! Luckily, you went to deliver the money to warm our relationship. The relationship between the main house and us is still stable…”
The second aunt was embarrassed now.
However, her son couldn’t read the situation and continued rambling on, “Mom, why didn’t you get some heat dispersal pill from aunt? The transmissible disease is very strong! If we don’t have any heat dispersal pills, things would be bad if we got infected!”
The second aunt angrily shouted, “Can’t you buy them yourself?”
Her son stared at her in a depressed manner. “Buy? The heat dispersal pills belong to our Chu Corporation. Why do we need to buy them? In addition, we won’t be able to purchase any from outside now. If we went out to buy, wouldn’t that make it clear to everyone that our second house has fallen out with the main house?”
The second aunt. “!!”
So, they were doomed whether they purchased the pills or not?
–
Chu Manor.
Shen Ruojing went to check the web after hearing what the maid said.
Her tensed heart finally relaxed.
She turned her head, and just when she was about to enter her room, she sensed a tall figure behind her.
The Chu Corporation’s employees were still on leave, so Chu Cichen didn’t return to the company. He stayed home to work, and it was unknown how long he had been standing behind her. At this moment, one could see a rare sign of relaxation on his stern and cold face.
After seeing Shen Ruojing exhaling in relief, Chu Cichen took the initiative to ask. “You are so happy?”
“Hmm.” Shen Ruojing slowly replied, “The transmissible disease won’t spread anymore.”
Everyone believed her now and bought the heat dispersal pills. They would either be cured or have preventive protection after eating it. The disease would soon be eradicated.
Although Shen Ruojing had acted like she was very relaxed during these few days, how could she be willing to see the spread of the transmissible disease as a doctor?
But no one believed her despite the heat dispersal pills being manufactured. These days, everyone would feel that the innate nature of humanity was evil.
However, Yan Zijing actually helped them tremendously with her antics.
Hearing these words, Chu Cichen started slightly.
He had originally thought that she would be happy because the misunderstanding was cleared and everyone had stopped scolding her. This incident also proved the prowess of her medical skills.
Who would have thought that she was actually happy because of this?

He then thought about the storm of public opinion that happened after he met her.
Indeed, she didn’t care about the view of others.
Chu Cichen also didn’t worry about the people here. He grew up overseas and was also a merchant. But at this moment, he was stunned by how broad Shen Ruojing’s heart was.
He always felt admiration for those who loved their country.
He then seriously surveyed the woman.
At this moment, the sunlight streaming in cascaded on her face. Her long eyelashes fluttered and her attractive beach blossom eyes rippled with the tenderness of water.
She seemed to have always been standing in the sunlight.
Chu Cichen retracted his gaze. He still wanted to say something, but his phone suddenly rang.
Hence, he nodded at Shen Ruojing and entered his room before picking up the call. Chu Yuan’s voice then rang out. “Cichen, I suggest you fire that Fang Panxia from the pharmaceutical factory…”
After Chu Yuan told the things that had happened in the gathering to Chu Cichen, the latter frowned, “I got it.”
After hanging up, he sent a text to Lu Cheng. [Where are you?]
Lu Cheng’s reply was very quick. [I’m accompanying Charles. What’s the matter, Bro Chen?]
Recently, Lu Cheng had been accompanying Charles, wanting to form a good relationship with him.
Chu Cichen pondered for a moment before replying. [Help me ask Charles this. If I fire Fang Panxia, would he still remain here to work for us?]
