Chapter 199: Mommy’s Old Item~ 1

Shen Ruojing keyed in the password and opened the door.

A light automatically lit up, illuminating the area for the switches.

She then turned on the switches, and the dark Shen Family’s residence instantly lit up.

Chu Xiaomeng took a look at Shen Ruojing and then at Chu Cichen. The child was worried that if her mommy went in with her, she would not be allowed to go to the basement to take things. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Therefore, Chu Xiaomeng said, “Mommy, you can wait for me here. I’ll be right back!”

Shen Ruojing was just about to say that she would go with Chu Xiaomeng when the child said seriously, “You can bring Daddy to see the growing tree for Older Brother and me.”

Shen Ruojing thought of Chu Cichen’s attitude turning cold for no reason at the banquet earlier and then lowered her gaze. She said, “I’ll go upstairs with you.”

Chu Xiaomeng immediately gave Chu Cichen a puppy eyes look. “Mommy planted the seeds when Brother and I were born. Daddy, aren’t you going to take a look at them?”

Chu Cichen. “…”

The child’s gaze was very innocent and the plea in them was very obvious too.

The reason she had secretly come here behind everyone’s back to take something was definitely that she didn’t want Shen Ruojing to find out.

Although Chu Cichen had something against Shen Ruojing, he couldn’t stand his daughter’s pitiful gaze. He turned to look at the two trees in the courtyard. “Are those the ones?”

Shen Ruojing glanced at him and then slowly brought him over.

Chu Xiaomeng took the opportunity to go in. When she reached the stairs, after seeing that Shen Ruojing didn’t notice, she slipped into the basement. The door to the basement was covered with a layer of dust.

Chu Xiaomeng stared at the door and carefully keyed in the password. After entering, she didn’t dare to turn on the lights either. She just turned on the torchlight function of her phone and rummaged around in the room.

She quickly found that gold mask and her eyes gleamed.

In the courtyard.

Chu Cichen stared at the two trees in the corner.

Both trees grew very tall, but their branches were only as thick as a person’s arm.

Chu Cichen asked, “What trees are these?”

“Ginkgo,” Shen Ruojing explained indifferently.

Chu Cichen was very curious about the children’s past. “Is there any interpretation to it?”

“They can be used for making medicine.”

“…” Chu Cichen took another two rounds around the ginkgo trees. He suddenly found an additional tree sapling at the side. Before he asked, Shen Ruojing spoke up again, “I planted this on the day I found out that Chu Yu is also my child.”

Although Chu Yu had been deprived of motherly love for five years, she would make it up for him what Chu Xiaomeng and Chu Tianye both had.

Chu Cichen asked, “Won’t Little Yu be unhappy?”

“There’s no helping it either.” Shen Ruojing’s words had a double meaning to them. “We can’t change the past and can only do our best to make up for things. Isn’t that right?”

She didn’t understand why Chu Cichen’s attitude had changed. It must be related to his white moonlight.

However, Chu Cichen took a long look at her. “But the damage is already done. Sometimes, it’s useless even if one tries to make up for things.”

Shen Ruojing. “??”

She turned and looked at Chu Cichen.

Under the ginkgo trees, the man’s tall and slender figure was like a small mountain, giving off a reliable and steady feeling. However, the cold gaze in his eyes pierced her heart.

Shen Ruojing couldn’t imagine the little puppy who had pulled her out from the dark abyss would look at her with such a gaze one day.

She averted her gaze and said directly, “What have I done that makes Mr. Chu so hostile to me?”

Chu Cichen also looked at her.

The woman’s face was gleaming white as if it had absorbed moonlight. It made the lights from the Shen Family’s residence behind her look a little dimmer.

He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly asked, “Are you the one who created the No. 5 Neurotoxin?”

Shen Ruojing was stunned for a moment. When Charles had brought up this poison, her past had been brought up once. Now, this man was bringing it up again. It gave her a feeling as if she was completely

stripped off and was being judged.

She pursed her lips. “That’s right.”

Chu Cichen clenched his fists tightly. “Why did you create such a thing?”

Why?

Shen Ruojing’s shimmering peach blossom eyes suddenly turned pitch-black. It was as if no light could reach them.

She took a step back and lengthened her distance from Chu Cichen, as if pushing him out of her world.

There was a hint of mockery in her smile. “Maybe it’s because I just felt like doing it. Why?”

When Chu Cichen saw that she was impenitent and replying in such a self-righteous tone, he felt even angrier. “When you created such a thing that brings nothing but harm to mankind, did you think of how many people it would kill?”

Chu Cichen knew that Shen Ruojing didn’t kill directly with her own hands.

He shouldn’t fault her for this.

However, the No. 5 Neurotoxin was something that 518 had held great abhorrence for!

Their organization had hunted down many organizations manufacturing the No. 5 Neurotoxin. He had asked 518 why they were doing this. 518’s reply was that the No. 5 Neurotoxin shouldn’t exist in this world.

Back then, Dugu Xiao had twitched his lips and said, “The person who created this poison is the most vicious one!”

After that, Chu Cichen spoke up for her. “The person who produced this poison might have just done it for research or might have other difficulties. Some people kill with blades, but are the makers of the blades wrong?”

When the two of them were quarreling, 518 remained silent for very long. He couldn’t see her expression that was hidden under the mask, but he could hear the determination in her tone. “The person who first created blades had the initial intention of using them for protection. However, this poison brings nothing but harm. Why do we need to defend the creator? In the future, if I get the chance to, I’ll kill that person myself!”

Dugu Xiao was in great agreement with 518’s words.

Back then, Chu Cichen didn’t agree.

However, in the end, 518 died to No. 5 Neurotoxin!

When he found out this truth, he regretted having stood up for the creator of this poison. It was because 518 had a detoxification pill that could neutralize all poison in the world, except for the No. 5 Neurotoxin.

If No. 5 Neurotoxin didn’t exist in this world, then would 518 still be alive?

Over the years, Chu Cichen kept asking himself this question. That was why he tried to search for the creator of the No. 5 Neurotoxin, wanting to kill the person and complete 518’s wish!

The man’s interrogating tone made Shen Ruojing feel as if all the air in her lungs had been drawn out. She clenched her fists tightly.

Of course, she knew that creating the No. 5 Neurotoxin was something that shouldn’t be done. However, back then, she didn’t have any other choice. She didn’t expect the production method to be

leaked out, causing this poison to bring about a bloody storm in the world…

She had felt guilty and upset over this matter for a very long time.

She had been unable to walk out from this matter and had once asked him, “If I had once done something extremely heinous but isn’t illegal, what should I do?”

He had told her, “Seek for the light even if you’re in the abyss.”

His words allowed her to live with her head raised up.

However, the person who had saved her in the past was questioning her now… This was really laughable and lamentable!

Shen Ruojing took another two steps back, instantly looking like she was shrouded in a layer of coldness. She asked, “There are murderers who kill with blades and murderers who kill with poison. In both cases, aren’t the murderers the ones who deserve to die?”

Chu Cichen tensed up his chin, his gaze staring at her. “But blades were created to protect while No 5 Neurotoxin only kills! Therefore, your initial intention of creating it is vicious.”

He thought of 518’s words and they came right out. “You don’t deserve to be forgiven!”

Vicious… Don’t deserve to be forgiven…

The two terms agitated Shen Ruojing deeply and she suddenly smiled mockingly. “What gave you the illusion that made you think I’m a good person?”

“…” Chu Cichen furrowed his brows deeply.

Shen Ruojing took a long look at him. “Chu Cichen, you’ve always said that you don’t know me and you aren’t him. I didn’t believe that. But I believe it now.”

The woman looked at him, her voice suddenly becoming very soft. “Indeed, you aren’t him.”

Chu Cichen was agitated by Shen Ruojing’s matter-of-fact attitude. The person he had been searching for five years, the one he wanted to kill, suddenly became the mother of his three children.

He couldn’t fulfill 518’s wish on her behalf anymore.

He only felt that his chest was very stuffy, and the words he said became increasingly cold and heartless. “Of course, I am not him. The two of us aren’t the same type of people! Regardless if it was six years ago or now, it’s impossible for me to fall in love with you! Shen Ruojing, on the account of the children, I won’t kill you. However, this is the end of our affinity. If we meet again, let’s treat each other as passersby.”

Shen Ruojing opened her mouth, and a while later, forced out a word. “… alright.”

She turned around without any reluctance and got on the motorbike, wanting to leave.

However, Chu Cichen said, “This is your home. The one who should leave is me.”

He turned around and entered the room. He happened to see the small Chu Xiaomeng walking out with her bag.

Chu Cichen walked over in big strides and picked Chu Xiaomeng up. He then headed out, saying forcefully to Shen Ruojing, “The children are from the Chu Family, so they should naturally grow up in the Chu Family. In the future, I’ll allow you to visit them one… a few times. You can contact the butler in advance, but you aren’t allowed to go to the Chu Manor anymore.”

After saying these ruthless words, Chu Cichen got into the car.

The car quickly started and drove toward the Chu Manor.

On the way, Chu Xiaomeng was as quiet as a chicken.

She widened her adorable eyes, not understanding what had happened to her parents. However, her daddy said that her mommy was not allowed to go to the Chu Manor anymore… Did they quarrel?

She then looked at Chu Cichen. The pressure his entire body gave off seemed like it was going to freeze the entire car. On his expressionless face, his eyes were filled with vicissitudes.

Chu Xiaomeng immediately opened the zipper of her bag and went to get the mask in it. She said directly, “Daddy, did Mommy make you angry? Take a look at this. You won’t feel angry anymore then! This is Mommy’s old item~ She said before that she had used it for many years~!”
