Chapter 57 Mother’s Concern

"Meow."

Yun Duo softly called twice, the sound was a bit weak and sounded weak.

"Auntie, Yunduo had a cold before. It's been fine these two days, but she's still a little depressed."

During the few days when Uncle Chen kept Yunduo in his care, Uncle Chen almost spoiled it. He teased five-digit fish in the fountain, and ended up falling into the water. Then he didn't pay attention to it and had a cold for several days.

Uncle Chen blamed himself for this. He originally planned to bring Yunduo to the engagement party, but because it looked so listless, he finally chose to leave it at home to have a good rest.

Mrs. Cheng turned around and glared at Chi Ruochu, pretending to be angry: "What's your name, aunt? I'm not your aunt."

Chi Ruochu didn't know what to do for a moment. Cheng Peichen pinched her palm and gave her some hints. Chi Ruochu hesitated again and again, opened her mouth, and held back one word for a long time, "Mom."

After calling out, Chi Ruochu lowered his head.

Her voice was so low that she didn't know if Mrs. Cheng heard her. If she didn't hear her, there was really nothing she could do.

If it were anyone else, she could have a tough attitude, but the other person was Cheng Peichen's mother, so she was destined not to use the same tactics as in the business world.

"That's right."

Chi Ruochu raised her head suddenly and saw Mrs. Cheng walking towards her with a smile.

"No matter what my relationship with Cheng Mingze is, I am Cheng Peichen's mother and your mother, Xiaochu. From now on, you will be my daughter."

As she said this, tears seemed to flash in Mrs. Cheng's eyes. She wanted to have both children, but unfortunately she only had one son, Cheng Peichen. If she could have a daughter as powerful as Chi Ruochu, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.

Chi Ruochu couldn't adapt to the other party's attitude at first, and it was clear that their first meeting was not particularly harmonious.

Cheng Peichen patted her back to reassure her, and then said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mom, you and Xiaochu have been tired for a long day. Let's go and rest first."

"Okay, Xiao Chu and I will take Yun Duo to have a rest first, and you should go to bed early."

Chi Ruochu was still a little worried, and turned around to wink at Cheng Peichen, but Cheng Peichen just waved to her to reassure her.

After entering the room, Chi Ruochu sat on the table beside the bed and processed the remaining work on the computer.

Mrs. Cheng was originally sitting at the end of the bed with Yun Duo in her arms, but after a while she sat next to Chi Ruochu.

"It's been a tiring day. Let's take a rest and let's talk."

Mrs. Cheng said this, so Chi Ruochu had no choice but to close the computer and sit obediently in front of Mrs. Cheng. The way the two got along before was completely different from the first time they met.

Mrs. Cheng stroked Yunduo's smooth fur again and again, "Xiaochu, to be honest, I had a bad impression of you when we first met."

Chi Ruochu's heart tightened.

"But then when Peichen was chatting with me, he said something he had never said to me in these years. Only then did I realize how outrageous I had been all these years. I didn't understand Peichen at all, and I just wanted to make him better than Cheng Yang.

Excellent, so that Cheng Mingze can see him, in the final analysis, it is for Cheng Mingze."

"After meeting you, your words rang in my ears repeatedly, and I began to doubt myself more and more. Why should I want to please Cheng Mingze? After all, I am also a lady, and I have signed a seal with him in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Yes, he doesn't care about me, so why should I lower my self-esteem and go around trying to please him."

Chi Ruochu was a little relieved that Mrs. Cheng could think of the best, so that she could live her own life in the future and not force Cheng Peichen to do things he didn't want to do.

"Xiao Chu, those words of yours were a blow to the head and completely cut off the confusion of the past few decades."

Chi Ruochu held his hands together tightly and didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Cheng touched the top of Chi Ruochu's head and said distressedly: "Xiaochu, from now on we are a family, and I will be your mother. If you are wronged in the future, tell your mother that she will protect you."

Mrs. Cheng once heard about Chi Ruochu's story. It wasn't until Cheng Peichen told her about Chi Ruochu's past that she realized how difficult this girl's life was.

She has suffered so much, endured so many grievances, and achieved her current achievements through her own efforts. Such a girl makes people feel sad and admired.

Chi Ruochu bit her lower lip until it turned white, and her body was as tense as a stretched bow. She believed Cheng Peichen, but Mrs. Cheng didn't know if she could believe it.

Mrs. Cheng said thoughtfully: "I've thought about it. You finally snatched Chuyun Group back from those bastards. It's your business how you want to take charge. If one day, you are allowed to be in Peichen and Chuyun,

When it comes to making a choice, I can understand if you choose Chuyun."

She thought about it, if she were in Chi Ruochu's position, she might not necessarily do better than Chi Ruochu.

An independent and self-reliant girl should not be limited to men.

At least she can't be like her, who gave up her dignity as a human being for the sake of a man, and even made her son suffer so much injustice.

Chi Ruochu was moved in her heart. As an elder, it was not easy for Mrs. Cheng to do this. She could think of how much hard work Cheng Peichen had done behind the scenes to allow her to get along well with her family.

"Mom, thank you for understanding me."

"It's getting late, go take a shower and have a good rest."

After watching Chi Ruochu leave, Mrs. Cheng gently placed Yunduo next to the pillow, and then quietly went to another bedroom.

Cheng Peichen was looking through the photos on his phone. These were all taken by a special photographer at the engagement party. Each photo was taken very well and the angle was accurate. The only flaw was that Chi Ruochu's expression was a little tired.

"Peichen."

Cheng Peichen quickly sat up, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Cheng sat by the bed with a serious face, "Your wife didn't even eat dinner at night, so you just let her sleep like this?"

Only then did Cheng Peichen react. He was looking at the photos of the two of them and forgot about this incident.

At the engagement banquet, Chi Ruochu drank some of the white fungus soup he brought, and spent the rest of the time talking to the guests. He thought he would have a good meal when the family sat together at the end, but the table was full of dishes.

All were lifted.

"Mom, I have to cook now. Xiaochu has a bad stomach. If he doesn't eat, he will definitely have a stomachache."

Cheng Peichen had just put on his slippers and walked out when Mrs. Cheng stopped her, "Wait a minute, what are you going to feed Xiaochu at this late hour? She is such a self-disciplined person, she won't eat rice or noodles at this point."

"Then what should I do?" Cheng Peichen couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

The fastest thing is to eat noodles, but Chi Ruochu really doesn’t know how to eat them, what else is there that is low in calories and filling?

Mrs. Cheng glared at him angrily, "Take me to the kitchen and see how mom cooks."

Opening the kitchen, Mrs. Cheng took some vegetables and made three simple sandwiches.
