Chapter 310 - 310 Delivering Medicine!

310 Delivering Medicine!

Just when Chu Cichen’s thoughts were wandering, the woman got close to him and breathed lightly on his cheeks. This caused his body to instantly tense.

But at the next moment, he heard the woman saying, “Actually, there was no crab roe that stained my mouth, right?”

Chu Cichen. “??”

He subconsciously wanted to explain something, but when he lifted his head, he saw the woman taking a step back and slamming the door shut with a bang.

“…”

Chu Cichen then realized that all his thoughts had been seen through long ago by this woman!

In addition, she played him at his own game! At this moment, he only felt his anger rising…

Chu Cichen inhaled deeply a few times before he suppressed his emotions. He then walked toward his room helplessly.

He completely had no idea that Shen Ruojing, who was just a room away, was currently leaning against the door. Her fingers were pressed on the location of her pounding heart as though she wanted to calm her uncontrollable quickened heartbeats.

It was unknown how long later before Shen Ruojing regained her calmness.

She then took a shower and lay on her bed. When she took her phone out to scroll the news, she suddenly saw a text from a stranger.

The sender of the text was a series of numbers.

However, Shen Ruojing was very familiar with this string of numbers. It was the electronic voice that called her previously!

In addition, the content of the text was this: Be careful, don’t fall for Chu Cichen.

At that instant, Shen Ruojing felt a blast of coldness flooding into her body, causing even her back to break out in cold sweat.

She narrowed her eyes and deleted the text.

On the next morning, Shen Ruojing woke up as usual and went to do a morning exercise routine downstairs.

Chu Cichen had been staying at home recently and would wake up at 6 a.m. punctually for a jog and to exercise. Although the stuff that the two of them did were different, the pace of their life was completely matched.

After breakfast, the four children went downstairs obediently after wearing their uniforms properly. Chu Cichen then looked at Shen Ruojing and asked, “Let’s send them to school together?”

Shen Ruojing’s expression was calm and one couldn’t tell what she was thinking. She still spoke in that lazy manner, “Nope, I will go there at 10 a.m. instead.”

Right now was the peak period where everyone would send the children to school.

She wanted to treat the dean and didn’t wish to be too high-profile. So, at 10 a.m., most of the parents would have already left. She would then head over to contact Dean Lin.

However, Chu Cichen narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at her.

It was unknown whether it was an illusion, but he clearly felt the sense of ambiguity between them last night. However, at this moment, Shen Ruojing seemed a little estranged from him.

Hence, Chu Cichen’s expression was solemn as he sent the kids to school. He then went to the office.

When Lu Cheng came in to make a report, he saw Chu Cichen pondering over something with a very serious expression.

Lu Cheng’s heart clenched. It had been so many years since he last saw Bro Chen being so solemn. Could it be that their businesses overseas had run into some trouble?

He immediately asked anxiously, “Bro Chen, did something major happen?”

“Hmm,” Chu Cichen replied with a grunt and this caused Lu Cheng to feel even more nervous. He continued to ask anxiously, “What happened? Are our businesses overseas bankrupt? Or did an enemy destroy our HQ? Or did an accident happen to someone?”

Just when he was about to break down from worrying, Chu Cichen suddenly sat up straight and asked, “Why was she suddenly cold toward me? Could it be that my tempo in chasing her was too fast? Or was it too slow?”

Lu Cheng. “??”

(What’s going on with your expression that looked like you were pondering about the most difficult problem in the entire world?!)

–

At 10 a.m., Shen Ruojing rode her motorbike to the school.

She parked in the parking lot and made a call to Dean Lin’s personal phone. The other party picked up very quickly and Dean Lin Yi’s kind voice rang out. “Divine Doctor Jing?”

“Hmm.” Shen Ruojing’s voice was slightly unclear and it was tough to differentiate whether it was male or female.

Dean Lin immediately replied, “I’m really sorry about last night. The nanny should have woken me up. I was simply too impolite.”

“No problem,” Shen Ruojing calmly said, “I’m already at the entrance of the kindergarten.”

“Ah?” Dean Lin Yi evidently didn’t expect that she would actually come. She then spoke in shock, “Let me go and escort you in.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up, Shen Ruojing headed to the entrance.

She had thought that the number of parents would surely be fewer, but the moment she turned the corner, she saw over ten parents gathered at the entrance!

In addition, these people were clearly from rich families. They were clad in luxurious clothes and carried expensive limited handbags. They were currently gathered together and discussing something.

Shen Ruojing went over cluelessly. One of them looked at her and suddenly lowered her voice. “You also heard the news and specially came to plead with Dean Lin Yi?”

Shen Ruojing. “Huh?”

“Stop pretending. Everyone here knows that Sparton is going to be a consultant here. In addition, he will select a few children to be his students. This is why everyone came here, wanting to plead Dean Lin to help recommend their children!”

After that rich lady said that, she warily looked at Shen Ruojing. “Which child’s parent are you? This opportunity is very rare to come by. We are all big families from the capital, and our children have been performing well in school. No matter what, Sparton has to select his students from our children!”

The others respectively nodded their heads.

They were considered among the better families in the capital, and there were also people from the four great families. The fewer competitors their children had, the less pressure they would feel. Hence, they banded together and were very against outsiders.

With regard to Shen Ruojing whom nobody knew, this group of people were immediately united. “Don’t tell me that you also want your child to get selected by Sparton? How can that be possible? Be it in status, identity, or our children’s results, your child is way inferior!”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She twitched her lips and couldn’t be bothered with them. She then directly walked past them and went to the school entrance.

But at this very moment, Shen Wanying coincidentally walked out of the kindergarten. After seeing her, the others immediately crowded around her. “Miss Shen, did you just finish treating the dean? Did Dean Lin say anything about how Sparton is going to choose his students?”

Shen Wanying smiled. “That’s the dean’s personal matter and I would never snoop. In addition, Dean Lin’s style is clear to all. She would never cheat for personal gain. It’s useless even if you all feel anxious.”

The moment she said this, some people sighed. “Madam Shen, you naturally won’t feel anxious because your son Bai Yitong will be the first in line regardless of which aspects Sparton will consider. You also have credit for treating Dean Lin. So, be it in personal or private terms, she will definitely leave a slot for your son. How can your situation be the same as ours?!”

Everyone sighed and Shen Wanying suddenly saw a black plastic bag in Shen Ruojing’s hand.

She lifted her eyebrows and asked, “Miss Shen, does your bag contain…medicine? Is it for Dean Lin?”

Shen Ruojing did place the pill she had concocted for Dean Lin last night inside a black plastic bag. This was to prevent others from seeing it, but now that she was being pointed out, she didn’t deny this. “Correct.”

She didn’t expect that the moment she said this, all the other parents here started blasting her.

“Medicine? Hah. Are you planning to follow Madam Shen’s example and give the dean medicine in order to gain a slot for your child?”

“How ridiculous! Madam Shen is a genius student from Columbia University. Are you even a doctor? Why are you randomly giving medicine to others?”

“Dean Lin’s illness is a stubborn one, and she has consulted many doctors and eaten many medicines throughout these years. If giving medicine could work, we would have long since done it. Or perhaps you are from a rural area and are planning to use some old-handed-down prescription to swindle her?”

“…”

When everyone was mocking Shen Ruojing, the group suddenly fell silent and stared at the interior of the school.

Through the metal railings, they saw Dean Lin Yi walking over here personally.
