Chapter 779: Poorest In The Family
Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Cichen’s body had not fully recovered, so Shen Ruojing dismissed the idea of immediately going to the Arctic.
She stayed behind to help Chu Cichen with his physical rehabilitation.
Although his lungs had been transplanted, the rest of his internal organs had suffered some damage, which would require time to heal.
While Shen Ruojing was examining his pulse, she couldn’t help but smile and said, “Well, now even if you don’t want to retire, you can only retire with me.”
Chu Cichen smiled faintly and replied, “As long as I can be with you, I’m willing to do anything.”
Shen Ruojing shook her head, putting down the bag she was packing. Chu Cichen followed her into the room.
Returning to this home, Chu Cichen felt reborn.
In Country A, Jing Zhen, who knew the whole story, remained silent.
Shen Qianhui, who was next to him, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?” Jing Zhen remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, “I just think it’s terrifying how Chu Cichen manipulates people’s hearts. You see, even though Song Chen’s plot succeeded, it was also Chu Cichen’s plan to influence Song Chen.”
Shen Qianhui was taken aback and asked, “What? Are you saying that everything Chu Cichen did was intentional? He deliberately got injured, set up so many things, and pretended to want to resign just to make Song Chen obedient?”
Jing Zhen replied, “Song Chen has the same intelligence as Chu Cichen, but he lacks six years of experience compared to Chu Cichen. Chu Cichen is even more cunning. Him being poisoned in the beginning might not have been intentional, considering that no one could have anticipated such a situation. But everything that followed the poisoning…”
Shen Qianhui listened to Jing Zhen’s analysis.
Jing Zhen suddenly shook his head, saying, “Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter now.”
Shen Qianhui furrowed her brows and asked, “Is it really okay for love to be manipulated like this, calculating back and forth? Husband, who do you think loves Jingjing more, Song Chen or Chu Cichen?”
Jing Zhen smiled and replied, “They are actually the same person. Song Chen is a clone of Chu Cichen, with the same thoughts as six years ago. So comparing the two is ridiculous, just like me asking you, did I love you more six years ago or do 1 love you more now?”
Shen Qianhui immediately asked, “So did you love me more six years ago or do you love me more now?”
Jing Zhen,”???”
Jing Zhen was taken aback by the question and his mouth twitched.
Shen Qianhui hooked her lips and patted Jing Zhen’s shoulder, saying, “Alright, stop joking, it’s daytime!”
Jing Zhen persisted, “What’s there to be afraid of? What’s wrong with daytime? Everyone in the palace belongs to me now. Even in broad daylight, there’s nothing to fear! No one dares to intrude without considering the consequences… Wife, although we won’t have a little brother for Jingjing, we’re still young…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Qianhui’s face turned red and she pushed Jing Zhen away, saying, “That’s enough!”
However, Jing Zhen persisted and was about to kiss Shen Qianhui when suddenly a little head appeared at the doorway.
Jing Zhen was startled and quickly looked over, only to find Chu Tianye peering through the window. The little guy blinked his eyes and asked, “Grandpa, what are you doing?”
Jing Zhen,”??”
He coughed and was about to speak when Chu Tianye bounced into the room. Jing Zhen smirked and said, “Why are you here?”
Chu Tianye replied, “Mommy and Daddy just got married, so they’re going on their honeymoon. They sent me here to stay for a few days-”
Jing Zhen mockingly retorted, “They’re going on their honeymoon, and they sent you here? Why didn’t they just send all three of you?”
Chu Tianye grinned and said, “We’re all coming! But Chu Yu and Xiao Meng are still behind. 1 ran ahead!”
After saying that, the little guy touched this and that before asking, “Grandpa, these things must be valuable, right?”
Jing Zhen found it amusing to see the gleam of greed in the little guy’s eyes. He coughed and replied slowly, “Yes, they’re all valuable, worth a lot of money!”
Chu Tianye asked, “So, Grandpa, what inheritance are you planning to give me?”
“Get lost! I’m not dead yet, so why would 1 be giving out inheritances? Besides…” Jing Zhen paused for a moment and then suddenly laughed, “Chu Tianye, it seems like you have no connection to the wealth of the royal family, do you?”
Chu Tianye,”??”
And so, when Chu Xiaomeng dragged a box of books and Chu Yu carried a box of clothes into the room, they heard the wailing of the self-proclaimed “devil king of the world”, “Wuwuwu, it’s over! Turns out I’m the poorest one in the family!!”
