Chapter 168
Chu Ciyuan appeared dejected as he looked at the doctor in a daze. “An ectopic pregnancy? Did you guys get it wrong?”
“What do you mean to get it wrong? Why do you youngsters not pay attention? To not come for an obstetric checkup even though she has gotten pregnant… if it wasn’t because of that person’s interference, leading to her condition acting up and thus us discovering it, your girlfriend’s life would be in danger! Moreover, that person’s technique is too amazing. To think that it even has the effect of stopping the bleeding. All of us thought that her uterus would have to be removed, but the bleeding stopped by itself…”

The doctor had never seen such a situation before and he chattered away excitedly, wanting to get to know the expert who had done this.
However, Chu Ciyuan’s countenance turned increasingly grim and cold.
At this moment, Ding Miao was pushed out of the operation theater.
She had woken up and now looked anxiously at Chu Ciyuan as she listened to the doctor’s words.
Chu Ciyuan took large strides toward her and grabbed her by the collar. “How can you do this to me?!”

Ding Miao bit her lips and lowered her gaze. “Ciyuan, it wasn’t intentional…”
Her voice was soft like a mosquito but gave off a hint of ambiguity.
A nurse quickly went up to stop him. “What are you doing? An ectopic pregnancy is an unexpected incident, and it’s not as if she did it on purpose! She just had surgery. How can you treat her like this?”
Chu Ciyuan was stumped.
He wanted to explain himself, but everyone else was pointing fingers at him.
“Trashy guy!”
“His girlfriend just had an operation, but he’s treating her like this…”
Chu Ciyuan suddenly understood what it felt like to be maligned. He looked at the people around him and recalled how things were back in the Chu Manor. Wasn’t he like these people, reprimanding Matriarch Chu and Shen Ruojing without getting a clear picture of the situation?

He turned around in a daze and walked out.
At this moment, he felt that his life was really absurd!
It turned out that what Shen Ruojing had said was true.
It turned out that Matriarch Chu had a good eye for people… Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After leaving the hospital, he headed for his car, only to find a ticket for illegal parking. He then stared at the parking ticket and punched his car angrily.
Lu Cheng followed behind him. “Your sister-in-law is the divine doctor, so there’s no way she’d give a wrong assessment. Moreover, the reason Ding Miao was fired was because she colluded with a reporter and sent him a video of the lawyer going to the mortuary. You should have been keeping an
eye on the situation. The public views of Chu Cimo haven’t been good for him today, and it’s all because of her involvement. She didn’t tell you these things, did she?…”
Chu Ciyuan’s body trembled very slightly and he turned his head abruptly. “Is the reason why you’re telling me these things because you want me to feel guilty? I’m telling you, that’s impossible! It’s true that she was bad and I misjudged her! I deserved to be seen as a joke!”
Lu Cheng. “?”
His hands suddenly felt itchy. Thank goodness he was an only child and didn’t have such a rebellious younger brother!
Lu Cheng was about to say more, but Chu Ciyuan opened the car door abruptly, entered, and stomped the accelerator. With a vroom, the car dashed off.
Lu Cheng stood on the spot and didn’t give chase.
After he returned to the Chu Manor, he reported Chu Ciyuan’s matter to Matriarch Chu.
Chu Ciyuan had seen through Ding Miao’s true face and had broken up with her. Although Ding Miao was given treatment in time, her uterus was badly hurt, and it remained unknown if she could get pregnant again in the future. It could be considered a form of retribution for her.
After hearing these, Matriarch Chu didn’t say anything. She just waved her hand and Lu Cheng took his leave.
It was already dark outside.
After Shen Ruojing had dinner, she went to her daughter’s room, wanting to give her a bath. She just stepped out of the room and then saw Lu Cheng.
Shen Ruojing ignored him, but this guy somehow tried to flatter her. “Miss Shen, are you out for a walk?”
His attitude was both respectful and humble.
“…” Shen Ruojing looked at him for a while before saying, “Is anything the matter?”
Lu Cheng coughed. “I just want to ask if Miss Ye Lu has been busy recently. Why hasn’t she replied to the messages I sent her?”
“Oh, she’ll probably only be able to reply to you two days later.”
After Shen Ruojing said this, she headed straight for Chu Xiaomeng’s room, wanting to go in. However, Lu Cheng called out to her again. “Sis Jing.”
Shen Ruojing paused and looked back.
Lu Cheng said respectfully with a sincere expression, “I was wrong to not have recognized how great you are and have offended you. Can I call you Sis Jing in the future?”
“You can’t,” Shen Ruojing said coldly.
Lu Cheng instantly felt a little disappointed.
That was true. He had complained so much about Shen Ruojing in the past when he didn’t know the truth about her, so how could she forgive him?
He was thinking of this when he heard a woman’s light and sluggish voice. “I prefer to be called lord.”
3
“…”
Her seniority was raised just like that!
Lu Cheng watched as Shen Ruojing entered Chu Xiaomeng’s room, and he smiled.
(So be it then! This person deserves to be called ‘Lord’!)
If his father were to find out that his God Aunt was now addressed as “Lord” by him, his father would probably yell at him in anger.

Lu Cheng shook his head and then headed downstairs to leave.
In Chu Xiaomeng’s room.
When Shen Ruojing entered, Chu Yu, Chu Tianye, and Chu Xiaoqi were all playing in this room. Chu Cichen was here as well.
Bai Shanshan had sent Chu Xiaoqi to the Chu Manor and went back to accompany Madam Bai just in case the Yan Family were to head there for revenge.
Chu Xiaoqi was timid. So after getting Chu Xiaomeng’s approval, Matriarch Chu had the two of them share the room for now.
Chu Cichen probably came to take a look just in case his daughter couldn’t get used to things.
Seeing how Chu Cichen was big and tall yet looked so gentle, the small and skinny Chu Xiaoqi suddenly thought of how her biological father always despised her. She then asked, “Brother Chu Yu, can you give me your father for ten million dollars?”
3
Chu Yu said firmly. “No.”
Chu Cichen’s lips curled up slightly.
Chu Xiaoqi asked, “Why?”
Chu Yu then said with all seriousness, “How is my father only worth ten million dollars? Isn’t that right, sister?”
Chu Xiaomeng hugged her dinosaur soft toy and looked at them blankly. “Hmmm, we mustn’t earn money that goes against our conscience.”
3
Chu Cichen. “???”
His face turned black.
When Shen Ruojing heard this, she laughed in her heart. After that,she ‘saved’ Chu Yu and Chu Xiaomeng, who had no idea of the impending danger by changing the topic. “It’s time to wash up. The gentlemen can take their leave.”
1
Seeing her, Chu Cichen suppressed his fury and then stood up to exit.
Chu Tianye and Chu Yu also followed behind him obediently.
“Little Yu, have you finished your school assignments today?” Chu Cichen suddenly asked.
“I’ve done them.”
“Then do them again to strengthen your foundations.”
1
Chu Yu. “???”
After the few of them left, Shen Ruojing then helped Chu Xiaoqi and Chu Xiaomeng wash up in turns.
The wound on Chu Xiaoqi’s leg had already closed up. Hence, Shen Ruojing applied her homemade scar removal ointment to the little girl’s wound and put her in bed before bathing Chu Xiaomeng.
Chu Xiaomeng was a typical scholar. After she docilely took off her clothes and took a shower, she suddenly asked mysteriously while Shen Ruojing was drying her hair, “Mommy can you bring me back to visit maternal grandpa and grandma?”
1
Shen Ruojing asked, “Why? Do you miss them?”
Chu Xiaomeng seemed a little blank for a moment before saying, “No, I just want to go back to take something.”
She wanted to go get that mask and show it to her daddy!
2
Shen Ruojing. “…”
The EQ of this child was really worrisome.
She looked at Chu Xiaomeng with a half-smile. “What do you want to take?”
