I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 33

Chu Cichen narrowed his dangerous-looking eyes and looked at Matriarch Shen without saying anything.

“Rude.”

When Matriarch Shen saw that he didn’t answer, she reprimanded, “You don’t even know basic etiquette toward elders. What a waste of your good face!”

After saying that, she walked by him and wanted to enter.

Shen Qianhui hurriedly blocked in front of her. “Mother, it really isn’t convenient today…”

Chu Cichen had just returned to Sea City, so not many people recognized him.

However, Matriarch Shen would surely recognize Matriarch Chu.

Based on Shen Qianhui’s understanding of Matriarch Shen, once she saw Matriarch Chu in the living room, she would probably kneel down to her.

If Matriarch Shen really were to kneel down servilely, the Shen Family and the Chu Family would immediately become of unequal standing. It would also make things difficult for Shen Ruojing in the future.

Although Shen Qianhui was sensitive because she didn’t have parents with her, and she also valued kinship the most, she never felt inferior. Moreover, there were three little children here now. She didn’t want her daughter to be unable to raise her head in front of the Chu Family.

Matriarch Shen sneered. “What’s inconvenient about it? Get out of my way…”

She pushed Shen Qianhui away and was about to walk toward the Shen Family’s residence.

However, Shen Ruojing blocked the door. She lowered her eyes and played with her fingers. “You really can’t enter this house today.”

Matriarch Shen stopped in her tracks.

Of course, Matriarch Shen knew how good this granddaughter of hers was at fighting. She still remembered that Shen Ruojing had once made her angry when she was in the third grade. Hence, Matriarch Shen deliberately picked Shen Ruotong up after school and left Shen Ruojing behind. After that, she saw a few street hooligans surrounding Shen Ruojing.

Matriarch Shen had thought that this would be a good chance to teach Shen Ruojing a lesson and make her less prickly in the future. However, what she did not expect was that Shen Ruojing came back covered in blood two hours later.

Back then, Shen Qianhui had just gotten off work. When she saw Shen Ruojing like that, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. Shen Qianhui then rushed up and sized her up, wanting to see if her daughter was injured anywhere.

However, the thin girl only wiped the blood off her face and smiled. “I’m fine. This blood belongs to other people.”

She looked like a demon at that time!

Matriarch Shen took a step back and didn’t dare to mention entering the house again. Instead, she looked at Shen Qianhui and said, “Alright, if you don’t let me in, I won’t enter… Then, you can go to work tomorrow. I’ve been saving your position in the company for you.”

Shen Ruojing said sarcastically, “Is there a need to intentionally keep a sales position open?”

Matriarch Shen gritted her teeth at Shen Ruojing’s words and answered, “It’s the position of sales manager! Haven’t you always wanted to be the sales general manager? Qianhui, you have watched the Shen Family get to where it is today. You have feelings for the Shen Family’s business, right?”

Shen Qianhui was slightly stunned.

The position that she had worked hard for five years to get was now placed in front of her.

However, she didn’t feel the happiness and anticipation she had had before.

Shen Qianhui lowered her head. “Mother, I’ll think about this. You can go back first.”

“What’s there to consider?”

Matriarch Shen glanced at her and gritted her teeth. “In addition to a basic salary, we will also give you a commission. How about one percent?”

However, Shen Qianhui only repeated, “I’ll think about it.”

She had been with the Shen Family for more than 40 years, so she had deep feelings for them.

It could be said that the Shen Family had given her a home. Even though she had long since known that Matriarch Shen treated her differently than her two younger brothers, she was already very satisfied.

She had seen the children in orphanages before. The longing in their eyes made her panic.

She was afraid of losing her home.

Later on, even though she had her own small family with Jing Zhen and had a child, it had become a habit for her to contribute to and please the Shen Family.

Now that Matriarch Shen had given in, her heart was wavering a little… Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Matriarch Shen continued to try to persuade her. “The Shen Family has raised you for so many years. Although you’re not my biological daughter, I’ve always treated you as one. Qianhui, do you remember how I watched over you when you were sick back then? I watched over you all night! There was another time when it was raining heavily outside and you had a fever of 40 degrees. I carried you to the hospital… Mother was muddle-headed about what happened last time, but how could a mother and daughter have an overnight grudge? Mother has personally come to apologize to you. What else do you want me to do to be able to forgive me? Do you want Mother to bow and kneel to you?”

Shen Qianhui hurriedly said, “Mother, that’s not what I meant. I just want to consider…”

She had promised Jing Zhen that day that she would start an entertainment company or studio. If she went back to work now, what would happen to Jing Zhen?

“What exactly do you have to consider?”

Matriarch Shen frowned, thinking that Shen Qianhui was dissatisfied with the conditions. She then lowered her eyes and said earnestly, “Qianhui, don’t blame Mom for being direct. You’re nothing now… I know that you’re capable and have been chosen by the Z Corporation. But even so, you’ll just be an employee. Can the Z Corporation treat you as their owner?”

She said patiently, “If you come back home, you’ll still be the young miss of the Shen Family. With this status, when the time comes, it’ll be easy for Shen Ruojing to find a partner. She’s only 25 years old and can’t possibly stay unemployed forever. She cannot continue to live in her current state all her life, right? Having two children, she can only at most look for a gigolo to play with now. Which man from a good family would be willing to marry her? As long as you come back, I guarantee to look for a good family of equal status for her!”

Shen Qianhui’s eyes turned red.

All the words that Matriarch Shen had said previously weren’t as useful as what she said at the very end.

As long as it was something for Shen Ruojing’s future, Shen Qianhui would be willing to do it. Even if she would be humiliated if she were to return to the Shen Family, she could at least give her daughter a good family background.

She recalled the humiliation those rich families had shown Jing Zhen at the Lin Family’s banquet.

Shen Qianhui wasn’t afraid of being humiliated, but she didn’t wish for her daughter to be unable to raise her head before others in the future.

Her voice choked as she said, “Mother, you’re right… For Jingjing’s sake, we should go back…”

Shen Ruojing raised her bows when she saw Shen Qianhui giving in. She didn’t say anything but looked at Jing Zhen.

Jing Zhen’s beautiful peach blossom eyes flickered and he spoke up, grinning, “Mother-in-law, which good families are you planning to find for Jingjing? Tell us about them first. We’ll go check on their character.”

Shen Qianhui looked at Chu Cichen.

She had never thought that the Chu Family would accept her daughter. After all, Chu Cichen was cold and wasn’t the ideal son-in-law in her heart. Hence, she also looked at Matriarch Shen curiously.

Matriarch Shen gave it some thought before saying, “The second son from your second sister-in-law’s maternal family is 28 this year, right? Hasn’t he always liked Jingjing? If I were to speak to the Li Family about this, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

The moment Matriarch Shen said this, Shen Qianhui’s face abruptly turned pale.

She said in surprise, “That delirious guy from the Li Family?”

Matriarch Shen immediately said unhappily, “What delirious guy? The Li Family is considered to be of compatible status with our Shen Family. It’s true that there’s some problem with their second son’s mental state, but if that wasn’t the case, would he marry Shen Ruojing?”

Jing Zhen echoed with a shadow of a smile. “This is really a ‘good family’.”

Shen Ruojing, who was at the side, curled her lips.

Her father, who really liked to act, could always make Matriarch Shen reveal her true colors with just one sentence.

Shen Ruojing then looked toward her mother. As expected, the latter bit tightly onto her lips, saying, “Mother, is this how you would treat Jingjing well?”

Matriarch Shen felt displeased and said coldly, “Isn’t this a good marriage? Both families will become closer. Otherwise, what kind of family could Shen Ruojing, who has lost her chastity and also has two b*stard children with her, be able to marry into? Of course, I’ll get the Li Family to take good care of the two children. It’d be impossible for them to inherit the family assets, but at least they could bring them up to university. It would be a lot better than their poor father!”

Chu Cichen couldn’t take it anymore and said coldly, “The Chu Family’s children don’t need to be raised by others.”
