242 The Strong Doesn’t Need To Gather In Groups
Chu Cichen walked into the Yun Manor with the breakfast he had just bought.
He had been sending breakfast over daily.
This was because when they were taking on missions in the past, 518 had ever said that she missed Chinese-styled breakfast from China.
And ever since he found out that Shen Ruojing was 518, other than investigating why their memories weren’t in sync, he had been trying to butter her up.
He was afraid that 518 didn’t like him…
So, he must make Shen Ruojing fall in love with him all over again before the truth was found out.
At this moment, a glow flashed in Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes, and he walked forward in big strides.
However, he had just taken two steps forward when a fist wind came attacking from behind him.
Feeling an attack coming, Chu Cichen narrowed his eyes and turned his head to dodge the attack. He then quickly moved to the side and lengthened his distance, only to see a man with peach blossom eyes, whose age was hard to tell, standing behind him.
Jing Zhen had his back facing the light, making it hard for Chu Cichen to see his face clearly. Chu Cichen only felt that the golden light that shone from behind this man brought out his slender and tall figure, as well as his sharp gaze.
He immediately said, “Uncle, I…”
“I heard that you chased my Jingjing out of your house. Hmmm?”
The man’s frivolous voice had a hint of coldness, making Chu Cichen feel very wary.
Jing Zhen was just an actor, and the feeling he gave off to others was that he was handsome and easy to get along with. Chu Cichen had investigated him before, and the results showed that Jing Zhen didn’t have any background. His parents had died early, and he stayed in the entertainment circle to build his career himself.
However, the Jing Zhen now exuded an aura that Chu Cichen found dangerous.
He quickly said, “Uncle…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jing Zhen took a step forward and kicked out once again. Being left with no choice, Chu Cichen could only clench his fists and receive this kick.
“Bang!” With the collision, Jing Zhen took two steps back and Chu Cichen took a step back too.
The strength of this kick was very great. It let Chu Cichen understand that Jing Zhen was trained before! Moreover, the two of them were equally matched!
Right now, Chu Cichen didn’t dare to be too careless and could only deal with his opponent.
Jing Zhen stretched his ankles and said, “I haven’t done this in so long, and my joints feel rusty.”
He mumbled softly and suddenly said, “But I’m going to teach you a lesson today for daring to bully Jingjing!”
After saying that, he charged out once again with extremely quick speed.
Chu Cichen was holding onto the breakfast with one hand. He had bought dumplings today for Shen Ruojing and didn’t want to spill the soup. Hence, with reservations, he ended up at a disadvantage.
As a result, Jing Zhen could land a punch on his shoulder.
Chu Cichen gritted his teeth and endured it.
He quickly lengthened his distance again and put down the dumplings on the stone table at the side.
At the next moment, Jing Zhen punched over again!
Chu Cichen had no choice and once again tried to face his opponent.
“Bang!”
When the punch and palm collided, a faint fist wind brushed past Chu Cichen’s face.
He bore with the pain in his shoulder and grabbed Jing Zhen’s fist tightly, trying hard to explain, “Uncle, I’ve learned from my mistake. Now, I just want to get Ruojing’s forgiveness…”
Jing Zhen. “Heh.”
Chu Cichen could tell the dissatisfaction and sneer in his voice. He wanted to explain further, but the coldness and sternness on Jing Zhen’s face suddenly turned into aggrievedness. “Little brat, it hurts! Let go!”
Chu Cichen. “?”
He subconsciously let go and saw Jing Zhen take two steps back. The latter then rubbed his hand and said, “Hmph! It’s just that I’ve gotten old, otherwise, you won’t be a match for me!”
After saying that, he walked past Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen turned and saw that Shen Ruojing had stood behind the two of them from a certain point in time. Jing Zhen then walked over to stand in front of Shen Ruojing, stomping his feet and saying, “Jingjing, hurry up and do a check for me. Is my wrist broken? It’s not that I can’t win against him. I’m just giving way to him!”
Shen Ruojing. “… When did you learn martial arts?”
Even though Jing Zhen was hissing in pain, he still said proudly, “Director Liu got a martial arts instructor for me. In the next production, I’ll be playing the role of the union leader of a martial arts circle! Did I look cool earlier?”
“… You did.”
Shen Ruojing grabbed his wrist and felt it. His bones weren’t dislocated, and he only pulled his muscle.
She then frowned and immediately looked at Chu Cichen. “He’s old, so why were you so vicious?”
Chu Cichen whose shoulder and palm were still hurting intensely. “????”
He threw a glance at Jing Zhen, only to see that his father-in-law had returned to his usual playful and frivolous self. This made it hard for Chu Cichen to discern if the killing aura he had felt earlier was real or just an act!
Hence, he pursed his lips and didn’t explain himself. He just picked up the breakfast he bought.
Jing Zhen immediately said, “Jingjing, I twisted my ankle as well. Oh my, it really hurts. Help me back to my room. I want to go look for my wife…”
Shen Ruojing held Jing Zhen’s arm and helped him back.
Chu Cichen who was neglected “…”
His path of chasing Shen Ruojing had been very smooth, but why was there suddenly a hurdle?
After Shen Ruojing helped Jing Zhen and left Chu Cichen’s sight, she withdrew her hands. “Stop acting.”
Jing Zhen immediately walked smoothly. “Jingjing, a good horse doesn’t turn around to graze the same grass patch. Don’t be soft-hearted just because that guy brought you breakfast a few times. Back then, did he care for your feelings when he chased you away?”
Shen Ruojing said, “I got it, I got it.”
Jing Zhen wanted to say more, but Shen Qianhui came out of her room at this moment. Hence, Jing Zhen immediately started limping again.
After Shen Qianhui saw this, she became anxious. “What happened?”
Jing Zhen. “Sigh, it’s nothing. It’s just a minor injury. I twisted my ankle when I was sparring with Chu Cichen.”
Shen Qianhui immediately rushed over. “Hurry up and go back to the room with me. I’ll apply a warm compress for you…”
“My wife treats me the best.”
“…” Seeing the two of them enter the room lovingly, Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched.
She then turned and wanted to look for Chu Cichen, but she saw Wen Yuyi and Qian Nanyin standing next to him. They seemed to be talking.
Today, Qian Nanyin wore a black suit and was dressed a lot more formally than before. At this moment, he raised his chin and looked very arrogant, just like a peacock that had its feathers spread out.
Wen Yuyi was also beaming as she said, “Mr. Chu, the Bai Family’s young master will be coming today. Do you need me to introduce you to him?”
Chu Cichen lowered his gaze coldly and passed by the two of them to head toward the living room. “No need.”
After he walked far away, Qian Nanyin’s lips twitched. “Why is Chu Cichen being so arrogant? Didn’t he just get born into a slightly better family than me? But in terms of family background, he is a lot worse compared to the Bai Family’s young master! Does he not know what getting to know the Bai Family can bring for him? Even if the Chu Family doesn’t need the support from the Bai Family, there are still benefits to be gained!”
Wen Yuyi also said, “Their family is the top in Sea City, so he looks down on others. He’s just like a frog in the well, not knowing how big the world is… I also feel that Mr. Chu is too arrogant and isn’t humble like Bro Nanyin.”
When Shen Ruojing heard this, her gaze grew heavy.
She suddenly walked over, raising her peach blossom eyes. “Do you know why he is so arrogant?”
Wen Yuyi frowned.
Qian Nanyin asked curiously, “Why?”
Shen Ruojing replied calmly, “It’s because the strong don’t need to gather in groups. Only a motley crowd would want to look around for companions.”
“…”
“…”
Qian Nanyin thought about Shen Ruojing’s words for a while before realizing what she meant. “F*ck! Who are you calling a motley crowd? Yuyi said that your children are from the Chu Family. Do you think that the Chu Family is the best? That’s true, your father is just a small celebrity. You are someone considered to have climbed up to a higher social class after marrying into the Chu Family. But let me tell you, the Chu Family is nothing in front of the Bai Family! What right do you have to be proud?”
Wen Yuyi also frowned and sighed. “Miss Shen, your father moved in last night. Wasn’t it because he wants to get to know the Bai Family as well? We should act more openly. The Wen Family and Qian Family can’t compare to the Bai Family, so Bro Nanyin and I want to get to know the Bai Family’s young master. This will let our businesses receive more help from them in the future. What’s wrong with that? Why do we have to put on such a tough front?”
Qian Nanyin sneered, “How can she understand these things? A country bumpkin probably thinks that the Chu Family and the Yun Family are the most amazing. How could they understand the Bai Family’s grandeur and status?!”
As the two of them echoed each other’s words, the butler entered the living room in a hurry, saying, “They have arrived, they have arrived!”
