Chapter 781: Chu Tianye Has Thought Things Through
Translator: Lordbluefire
The aurora was something that can be encountered but not sought after.
For a whole week, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen hadn’t seen the aurora.
But neither of them was in a hurry.
Shen Ruojing leisurely lay inside her warm tent, hands behind her head, looking at the sky. “What if we still can’t see the aurora next week? Should we continue waiting?”
“Of course,” Chu Cichen replied.
After a week of rest, Chu Cichen’s complexion had improved. “Even if we wait our whole lives, it will be worth it.”
Shen Ruojing glanced at him. “Aren’t you worried about our three little ones at home?”
“What is there to worry about?” Chu Cichen smiled. “As long as they don’t bully others, it’s already commendable.”
Shen Ruojing,
The two of them continued to gaze at the sky and chat.
After a while, Chu Cichen suddenly said, “Do… do you think of Song Chen?”
Does she think of Song Chen?
Shen Ruojing was taken aback.
In fact, she had thought of him in these past few days.
Speaking of it, Song Chen’s life was quite tragic. He was created by his father just to accompany her.
He only lived for six years, and in the end, it came to an end.
Shen Ruojing didn’t say anything but spoke up, “He was born in the wrong era, wasn’t he?”
Shen Ruojing understood Song Chen.
He had been struggling all these years just to gain human recognition and a legitimate identity!
Unfortunately, his identity never became public.
Perhaps with the rapid development of humanity, in the next few decades or even centuries, with the popularity of digital life and cloned bodies, he would no longer be an anomaly in this world.
But now, it wasn’t the future.
Chu Cichen nodded. “1 didn’t dispose of his body; instead, I froze it.”
Shen Ruojing paused slightly and looked at him.
She thought Chu Cichen would have cremated Song Chen… making him completely disappear from this world.
After all, no one would want someone exactly the same as themselves to exist in this world.
But Chu Cichen smiled. “I’m not that petty. He gave up himself in the end and saved my life. So I can endure it. If future technology develops, he can be revived.”
If there really are cloned humans in the future, it would be easy to clone a pair of lungs for Song Chen.
By then, perhaps cryogenic technology would have also been perfected, right?
They could resurrect Song Chen then.
However, that would be a matter for the next few decades or even centuries. By then, he would no longer exist in this world. So why care about Song Chen?
Shen Ruojing smiled and held Chu Cichen’s hand. “It doesn’t matter.”
At the same time, Chu Tianye, Chu Xiaomeng, and Chu Yu returned to the capital together.
After all, they were still studying in a special kindergarten and couldn’t leave the capital for too long.
Sending the three little ones abroad was Shen Ruojing’s idea.
On one hand, she wanted them to see the place where their grandfather lived, as Chu Yu would eventually inherit the throne.
On the other hand, when they were unsure if Chu Cichen was still alive, they thought it was Song Chen who survived. Although if Song Chen inherited Chu Cichen’s memories, he would be a good father, Shen Ruojing still wanted to keep some distance between the children and him.
Now that Chu Cichen was fine, the three children naturally had to return home.
But from the day they returned home, Matriarch Chu noticed a change in Chu Tianye. The young boy was no longer lively and cheerful; instead, he appeared somewhat melancholic.
Matriarch Chu asked, “Little Ye, what’s wrong?”
Chu Tianye sighed silently and said, “Grandmother, I want to earn a lot of money.”
Matriarch Chu responded, “Don’t you already have a lot of wealth?”
Tears welled up in Chu Tianye’s eyes as he said, “But in the future, I will be the poorest in the family! Mom and Dad are partial and have given all their inheritances to Xiaomeng and Little Yu!”
He rubbed his reddened eyes and continued, “Xiaomeng can be excused since she’s a bookworm and also my younger sister. But why should Chu Yu get everything? Sob…”
Chu Yu stood beside them with a smile on his face, resembling a mini-version of Chu Cichen. He coolly remarked, “Because Grandfather said that when it came to inheriting his surname, you rejected him.”
Chu Tianye fell silent.
Sobs…
Once there was a throne laid before me, but 1 didn’t cherish it. Now, I truly regret it!
He weakly looked at Chu Yu and asked, “Can 1 change my mind now?”
Chu Yu replied, “No, you can’t.”
Chu Tianye muttered,”…”
He clenched his teeth in frustration and looked at the fully grown large dog next to him. “Chuyu! Come here!”
The big dog happily ran over.
Chu Tianye stared at it for a while and commanded, “Roll over!”
The dog rolled over on the ground.
Chu Tianye burst into laughter.
Matriarch Chu watched this and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unable to resist, she sent a message to Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen, “Are you both really certain about dividing the family’s wealth this way? Isn’t Little Ye being treated unfairly?”
As fellow enthusiasts of wealth, Matriarch Chu understood the sorrow in Chu Tianye’s heart at this moment!
Unfortunately, the two people in the Arctic had no signal and couldn’t see the message, let alone reply!
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen didn’t respond to Matriarch Chu’s message, so she tossed her phone aside.
During dinner that night, Chu Tianye looked pitifully at Matriarch Chu and said, “Grandma, Mommy and Daddy are partial and have given all the good things to my younger sister and brother. But as the eldest brother, I can’t compete with them. So, I have thought things through!”
Matriarch Chu delightedly asked, “Oh, what have you thought through?”
