Chapter 588: Confidence

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes when she heard this.
The staff member on the phone continued, “He has already filed a lawsuit. We will send you the subpoena, and you need to appear in court at that time.” Shen Ruojing was angry, but she didn’t want to vent her anger on the staff member.
After all, from their perspective, this was just a case involving a child’s parents, and they had to handle it accordingly.
Shen Ruojing was polite to them. “I understand. I will attend as requested.”
After hanging up the phone, Matriarch Chu who was next to her was furious. “He’s such a jerk! The children are Chu Cichen’s. What do they have to do with him?”
Shen Ruojing hesitated for a moment and said, “But now, legally speaking, the child is his, as he has assumed Chu Cichen’s identity.”
Chu Cimo became anxious. “What should we do? Are we going to be bullied by him like this? With both families being well-off and Chu Yu growing up in the Chu family, he will definitely be awarded custody. At the very least, one child will follow him. Separating the three children is too cruel!”
Bai Shanshan was more concerned about the safety of the children. “He is not their biological father. If he gets custody, will he abuse the children? He has already treated their mother like this; he certainly won’t do any better with the children!”
Shen Ruojing nonchalantly waved his hand. “It’s easy to handle. I will contact someone tonight and have the three children sent to Country A where their grandparents can look after them.”
Upon hearing this, Matriarch Chu’s eyes lit up. “This is a good idea. Since he wants to play dirty, we can play dirty too.”
Shen Ruojing nodded.
Seeing that the three children were temporarily out of danger, Matriarch Chu hesitated for a moment but didn’t say anything.
Shen Ruojing looked at them and spoke up, “Don’t worry. Although Cichen has amnesia now, I am still here for the family. Rest assured, I will not stand idly by.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuansong also learned the truth and had the butler arrange for Matriarch Chu to stay at the Shen Manor. Bai Shanshan then took Chu Cimo to live with her mother.
As for Matriarch Chu, she didn’t want to burden Shen Ruojing, so she didn’t press the issue and went upstairs to rest.
After all, she didn’t sleep well the night before since she was confined.
But before going upstairs, Matriarch Chu wanted to take Chu Cichen with her.
Unexpectedly, Chu Cichen just clung to Shen Ruojing’s sleeve and didn’t let go. His eyes were filled with caution. “l don’t know you.”
Matriarch Chu almost laughed and cried at the same time. “How could I harm you? I am your mother!”
Chu Cichen heard this, hesitated, and leaned toward Shen Ruojing. “But… I don’t remember.”
These few words made Shen Ruojing feel heartbroken.
He was afraid that Matriarch Chu would be upset and that Chu Cichen would feel wronged, so he hurriedly said, “Auntie, he just temporarily forgot you. Don’t worry. Let him stay with me for now. ”
Matriarch Chu looked at her son’s expression, sighed silently, and suddenly said, “Actually, it’s not bad to have amnesia for a while. After all, this child has been carrying the fate of the family since birth and has never had a moment to relax. Jingjing, please spend more time with him lest he fails to feel a sense of security.
Shen Ruojing nodded after she heard this.
After Matriarch Chu went upstairs, Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen and asked, “Do you really not remember?’
Chu Cichen held her hand, lowered his head, and looked like a helpless puppy. “Jingjing, do you think I am a burden? I can’t help with anything now and I always stick to you. But only when I’m with you do I feel safe.
His eyes revealed a lost look. “I don’t remember who I am, where I come from, or what I’ve done. In this world, there’s only one person I trust, and that’s you.
Will you find me annoying?”
Shen Ruojing felt intense heartache and shook her head. “No.”
She smiled bitterly. ‘We were both too busy before and rarely spent time together. Now is a good time to be with you more.” Chu Cichen’s eyes lit up. “So you really don’t mind?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Then I want to be with you all the time.”
“Alright.”
The man paused and cautiously asked, “What about at night?”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
Her expression changed slightly, and she heard him sigh. “These past few nights, I’ve been afraid to sleep. I feel like once I fall asleep, I’ll be trapped in a strange darkness. I don’t know when I’ll wake up… ‘
Seeing his pitiful state, Shen Ruojing thought for a moment and agreed.
“Alright.”
The man’s face brightened.
Shen Ruojing warned, “But you must not take advantage of the situation.” “Okay,” Chu Cichen answered without hesitation.
Anyway, he would just temporarily agree for now and would deal with it later in the evening!
At this moment.
Song Chen, accompanied by the Chu family’s security personnel, had arrived at the kindergarten in the school. At the entrance, Song Chen directly announced, “I am Chu Cichen, here to pick up the three children and take them home.”
Inside the kindergarten, Principal Lin, who had received his message, hurried over. Upon seeing Song Chen, she showed some goodwill and asked directly,
“Mr. Chu, why are you picking up the children early today?”
Song Chen lowered his eyes and smiled. “Well, I promised the children to have dinner together with them tonight, so I came to pick them up early.”
After filing the lawsuit against Shen Ruojing, Song Chen was on guard about the children’s whereabouts. Whoever had the children would undoubtedly have the upper hand in this legal battle..
