Chapter 78: The Identity Of The Person He Loved~
Translator: Lordbluefire
Shen Ruojing suddenly felt her hand itching.
She coughed once and suppressed her impulse. After that, she walked over to glance at the question – What is 36 plus 57?
Shen Ruojing’s gaze darkened as she suddenly spoke, “The answer is very simple. Isn’t the answer 94?”
Chu Yu: “??”
He was stunned!
After that, he heard Shen Ruojing saying, “If you don’t believe me, count it yourself.”
“..”
Chu Yu frowned. “Mommy, is the answer really 94? Are you certain it is not 93?”
Shen Ruojing spoke nonsense with a straight face, “94! How can it be 93?”
Chu Yu: “…Why don’t I explain this question to you?”
Shen Ruojing then calmly sat beside him. “Hmm, tell me.”
Half an hour later.
Chu Yu cautiously asked, “Mommy, do you understand now?”
Shen Ruojing, who had been in a daze for the past half an hour, blankly shook her head. “Can you explain more?”
Another half an hour passed.
Chu Yu’s mouth was parched and dry from talking. “Do you understand now?”
Shen Ruojing nodded. “Hmm, I do.”
The two of them matched gazes and spoke out at the same time.
“Mommy, you are too intelligent!”
“Little Yu, you explained it too well!”
The scene of a “lovely” bonding moment between mother and son appeared in the room.

Chu Manor.
Chu Cichen returned home after leaving the hospital. He first went to the study to check on Little Meng. His daughter currently had a sorrowful look on her face while doing the writing task that Shen Ruojing gave her.
She only wanted to complete it swiftly, hence, she wrote very perfunctorily.
After pondering, she took out her phone and texted Chu Tianye: [Bro, help me write two pages of words~]
Chu Tianye was playing downstairs: [Nope.]
Chu Xiaomeng: [A page for $200~]
[Coming right now, do you need me to help you write a hundred pages?]
Chu Xiaomeng pondered. Her mommy had said that she had to write five pages of words every day. A smile then appeared on her face. Just when she wanted to reply, the area before her darkened.
Chu Xiaomeng lifted her head and saw Chu Cichen standing before her and looking at…the chat records on her phone.
Five minutes later.
Chu Tianye rushed upstairs. “Little Meng, I’m here~ Only five pages today? We have to count the veggies in the morning too, so that will be a total of $1,200~”
Just as the sound of his voice faded, a hand stretched over from behind and grabbed his collar, hoisting him up.
Chu Tianye slowly turned and saw the grim look on Chu Cichen’s face.
Chu Xiaomeng innocently hugged her soft toy. Her body trembled as she cowered while continuing with her writing practice.
Chu Tianye: “!!”
He smiled fawningly/ “Daddy, you are also here? I…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was carried out of the door by Chu Cichen. “Teaching your younger sister the wrong things. Your buttocks must be itchy, right?”
“Daddy, listen to my explanation! …. Boohoohoo, Daddy, I won’t dare to do so again! I haven’t obtained your death inheritance yet!”
“That is inheritance and not death inheritance!”
“Boohoo, daddy, I know I’m wrong! It’s too painful. Please don’t use so much force!”
After hearing the sound that rang out from outside, Chu Xiaomeng was so scared that she shrank her neck back and became much more serious when she did her practice.
(Daddy is so terrifying!)
Chu Cichen’s large hand merely touched Chu Tianye lightly, but he was already screaming as though he was being tortured. The entire Chu Manor could hear his screams.
Matriarch Chu rushed over. “We can always talk through things, don’t hit the child!”
Chu Tianye sobbed loudly, “Grandma, save me! It’s so painful!”
Chu Cichen’s expression was very cold. “He has to be punished since he was in the wrong!”
“But you shouldn’t hit him! Don’t you know that a child can report to the police if someone hits them?”
Chu Cichen glanced at Chu Tianye who was sobbing loudly but had no tears flowing out of his eyes. He then calmly spoke, “You are correct.”
Matriarch Chu and Chu Tianye both heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Chu Cichen then continued, “I will confiscate his bank card then.”
Chu Tianye immediately started crying again.
He suddenly lifted his head. There were still no tears in his eyes. “Daddy, one ought to be disciplined if they did something wrong. I think it’s better for you to beat me! It’s not painful at all. It’s true…”
After speaking, he even lifted his buttocks up in preparation to receive the beating.
Matriarch Chu: “…”
Chu Cichen ultimately didn’t continue with the corporeal punishment. He punished Chu Tianye to do writing exercises – Chu Tianye had to write five pages of words daily. When the little fellow ran upstairs to do the punishment, Chu Cichen spoke, “Should we also send him to school?”
Chu Yu’s body had mostly recovered and he was planning to continue studying in his kindergarten in two days or so.
Hence, Chu Cichen decided to let Chu Tianye return to school as well.
Matriarch Chu nodded.
As the two of them spoke, the butler came and reported, “Sir, Mr. Lu and Miss Fang have arrived.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Miss Fang’, Matriarch Chu frowned.
Chu Cichen instructed, “Get them to wait for me in the study.”
“Yes.”
In the study.
When Lu Cheng and Fang Panxia entered, Chu Cichen was already handling official business.
“Bro Chen, Sister Fang is back!” Lu Cheng spoke excitedly.
“Hmm.”
Chu Cichen’s attitude was as calm as ever. One couldn’t tell whether he was angry or happy. He simply asked Fang Panxia, “Did everything go smoothly?”
“Yes.”
Fang Panxia spoke, “At the academy conference overseas, I have successfully gotten that person to notice me. If he wants to cure his leg, he will definitely find me to give it a try.”
“Good.”
After Chu Cichen finished speaking, he lifted his head and looked at her. “Since you just returned to the country, you should go and rest if you have no other matters to handle. Wait for him to approach you.”
Fang Panxia’s mouth opened and closed as though she wanted to say something. Eventually, she uttered, “…yes.”
Lu Cheng alternated his gaze between Chu Cichen and Fang Panxia. He then spoke, “Bro Chen, Sister Fang just came back today. Why don’t we have a meal together?”
When Chu Cichen heard this, he lifted his head and swept his gaze over at Lu Cheng. “If you are so free, you can try looking for Professor Z.”
“…”
Lu Cheng immediately lowered his head.
Fang Panxia took the chance to continue, “Bro Chen is so busy so how can he have the time? Little Cheng, you are too clingy. If you are free, you should just accompany your father. After all, he is warded…”
“He is warded?” Chu Cichen asked, “Which hospital? It has been so many years, but I have never met your father before. If I have the time, I will pay him a visit.”
Chu Cichen had grown up overseas, and Lu Cheng had been learning from him since Lu Cheng went overseas at 15 years old. Hence, Chu Cichen had never met Father Lu before.
Fang Panxia answered, “The same hospital as Mr. Yun.”
“Hmm.” Chu Cichen replied, “I will pay him a visit tomorrow.”
Lu Cheng nodded. “Okay…”
After the two of them finished speaking and were preparing to head out, Chu Tianye suddenly rushed in. “Daddy! Mommy said she will be bringing Chu Yu over for dinner! This is excellent!”
Chu Cichen’s cold expression gradually lifted. “Okay.”
Upon seeing the change in his expression, Fang Panxia’s gaze flickered and her fingers were clenched tightly.
She suddenly lifted her head and said, “Bro Chen, there are two more days until her deathversary…”
When she said this, an extremely cold aura suddenly gushed forth from Chu Cichen.

After Lu Cheng and Fang Panxia left the Chu Manor, he curiously looked at Fang Panxia. He controlled his urges but ultimately failed as he suddenly asked, “Sister Fang, who exactly is the person Bro Chen loved?”
