363 Champion Chen
The second aunt. “?”
She looked at Bai Shanshan, feeling puzzled. She then looked at Matriarch Bai, and her astonished countenance changed, “Huh? Matriarch, I wasn’t scolding your granddaughter. I was scolding…”
While she was saying this, her gaze landed on Matriarch Bai’s hands that were holding Bai Shanshan’s. She immediately understood. “You… Bai Shanshan… She… She is your granddaughter?”
Matriarch Bai immediately said, “Yes! She’s my second son’s daughter! She’s a beloved child of our Bai Family that has been stranded outside!”
The second aunt. “!!”
Matriarch Bai glared at her. “How are you planning on teaching my granddaughter a lesson?”
The legs of the second aunt were shivering.
She gulped, and with a bang, accidentally knelt on the floor. “I, I didn’t mean that. I didn’t know that she’s your granddaughter… This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding…”
Just then, Matriarch Chu walked out of the kitchen. Two servants followed behind her, each of them holding some drinks.
Matriarch Chu shot a look of contempt at the second aunt. She had intentionally walked away earlier just so that the second aunt could learn a lesson.
How dare she look down on her daughters-in-law?
Let her suffer the consequences of her own actions then!
However, she hadn’t expected the second aunt to be scared so easily and be so useless. Now, Matriarch Chu had lost face in front of the Bai Family again.
Matriarch Chu then waved her hand and said, “Don’t embarrass yourself here. The few of you, bring Second Madam out.”
“Yes.”
A few servants went forward and dragged the second aunt out.
Matriarch Bai had come to the Chu Family to seek her granddaughter’s forgiveness, so she definitely didn’t dare to flare up now. She only looked at the second aunt indignantly before looking at Bai Shanshan. “Do you want Grandmother to help you teach her a lesson?”
Bai Shanshan lowered her doe-like eyes. “There’s no need. It’s just being ridiculed a little. It’s nothing…”
Compared to her days in the Yan Family and the bullying she had received in school after losing her father… Bai Shanshan really didn’t take the words of the second aunt to heart.
When Matriarch Bai heard this, she immediately understood what Bai Shanshan meant. Her eyes turned red. “Child, you’ve suffered all these years.”
She wiped her tears and said, “But don’t worry, no one will bully you in the future! The Bai Family will always back you up!”
When Matriarch Chu heard this, she said calmly, “The Chu Family will also back Shanshan up.”
In other words, the Bai Family could forget about bullying Bai Shanshan.
When Matriarch Bai heard this, her impression of the Chu Family improved a little. Originally, when she saw the second aunt’s behavior earlier, her heart already skipped a beat. She thought that her granddaughter had been bullied by the Chu Family.
If that was the case, she must bring her granddaughter home today!
Seeing that Matriarch Chu was protective of Bai Shanshan and was not very respectful to herself, not only was Matriarch Bai not angry, but she also felt very satisfied.
This mother-in-law was good to her daughter-in-law.
As a result, Matriarch Bai became more tolerant of Matriarch Chu. She said, “I came today to deliver frostbite ointment to Shanshan.”
Bai Shanshan said, “There’s no need. My elder sister-in-law already gave some to me.”
She was now addressing Shen Ruojing as ‘sister-in-law’ together with Chu Cimo.
These words made Shen Ruojing blush slightly.
Matriarch Bai said, “I know you do, but this is also a representation of my feelings… Shanshan, I know that you might not forgive me, but I really want to make it up to you… Grandmother was muddle-headed previously…”
She begged for her granddaughter’s forgiveness in a low voice. Her hair was white, and her back was hunched, making Bai Shanshan feel sorry for her.
When her father was still alive, he had once said that her grandmother treated him especially well.
Her father probably wouldn’t want to see her grandmother like this either.
Bai Shanshan clearly knew that she shouldn’t forgive her grandmother so easily, but affinity was a very magical thing. It could make people put down all their prejudices and regrets…
Bai Shanshan sighed. Although she didn’t say anything, she had forgiven Matriarch Bai in her heart.
After Matriarch Bai chatted with Bai Shanshan for a long time, she looked at Matriarch Chu. “I heard that the Chu Family wants to do a medicinal herb transaction with the Shen Family. However, the Shen Family has announced that they won’t let anyone buy your raw materials… What will the Chu Family do if this batch of raw materials rots away?”
Matriarch Chu said, “I have my hands off regarding business matters now. Cichen is the one in charge.”
Matriarch Bai sighed and said, “Speaking of which, it’s all because of the conflict caused by our family. However, the Bai Family isn’t involved in the pharmaceutical industry, so we can’t help you open a door in this area. I wonder if you guys are interested in other industries? I’ve got someone to ask around. The Chu Family used to invest in many areas. Why don’t you come and start an industrial business? I can get my husband to give a portion of our clients to you…”
“No need, no need…”
Matriarch Chu and Matriarch Bai started exchanging pleasantries.
Shen Ruojing, who was seated next to them, felt very bored. She then said softly to Bai Shanshan, “Chu Cimo went to find a solution for the Chu Family. He didn’t really go off to have fun.”
Chu Cimo was someone with a low EQ, but Shen Ruojing wasn’t going to let this couple become distant.
“Sister-in-law, I know,” Bai Shanshan replied in a soft voice.
Shen Ruojing raised her brows.
Bai Shanshan bit her lips. “He isn’t someone who only cares about having fun at a time like this.”
The Chu Cimo that Bai Shanshan knew was someone who stood at a height and glowing with radiance. How could he abandon his injured wife and go off to have fun? He must have gone to look for connections to help the Chu Family!
Shen Ruojing didn’t expect Bai Shanshan to trust Chu Cimo so much.
Just as she was thinking, her phone vibrated.
Shen Ruojing then took a look and instantly sat up straight. She realized that the message she had sent to Champion Chen last night had been read!
Shen Ruojing instantly became excited.
Champion Chen read her message. Would he reply?
As Shen Ruojing was contemplating, Matriarch Bai had stayed here for a very long time. She finally stood up and bade her goodbye.
Shen Ruojing then put her phone to the side and stood up together with Matriarch Chu to send Matriarch Bai off.
After getting in the car, Matriarch Bai let out a huge sigh.
Her butler asked, “What is it?”
Matriarch Bai said, “Chu Cichen is still too inexperienced as the head of a family. He’s overestimating himself by wanting to deal a blow to the Shen Family’s medical and pharmaceutical business the moment he arrived.”
The butler also frowned. “Can’t the Shen Family give the Chu Family a way out on the account of the two families’ relationship?”
Matriarch Bai said, “I brought this up to the old master! However, he insists that we can’t help the Chu Family. It’s good enough that the Shen Family doesn’t pursue the Bai Family’s responsibilities this time around. However, I keep having the feeling that the old master seems to want to see the Shen Family deal with the Chu Family. I really don’t understand him! Is he planning to bring our granddaughter back home after the Chu Family goes bankrupt? Although that Chu Cimo is a profligate son, our granddaughter might not necessarily come back with us even if we go pick her up!”
The butler fretted too. “Then what should we do?”
Matriarch Bai took a deep breath. “I’ll go back and check how much private savings I have. I’ll take them as dowry for my granddaughter and give it to them when the Chu Family is in trouble. She seems to be devoted to Chu Cimo. Moreover, that night, when Chu Cimo was saving her, he also looked like he could go all out for her even at the point of disregarding his life. Although Chu Cimo is a little useless, there’s nothing to complain about the way he treats her.”
After saying this, Matriarch Chu couldn’t help but complain, “Why is my granddaughter’s life so tough? If we could find her earlier, she wouldn’t have gotten married to a family like the Chu Family. I would have definitely found her a husband that could give her a more stable and better life…”
At the mention of this, Matriarch Bai’s eyes turned red again.
The butler. “…”
Matriarch Bai took another deep breath. “Forget it. Things have come down to this. Let’s wait a few more days. When the time comes and the Chu Family is in trouble, we can then help them!”
Just as everyone was waiting for the Chu Family to be made a joke of, time passed by.
Seven days later!
