I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 489

489 Understanding Him!

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Matriarch Chu immediately frowned and looked guiltily toward Matriarch Bai, who also furrowed her brows and angrily questioned, “What happened? Did he get drunk and hit someone? Or did someone set him up?”

Having a few unruly grandsons that caused trouble every year, Matriarch Bai instinctively thought that Chu Cimo was also that kind of person upon hearing the butler’s words.

Matriarch Chu felt even more ashamed and quickly apologized, “Matriarch Bai, my son really… has embarrassed you. Don’t worry, I won’t let him get away with it this time. I will make sure he behaves properly from now on!”

The butler quickly interjected, “No, no… it’s not that. I heard the Second Young Master has offended Valor Gate and is going to have his legs broken by their disciples…”

Matriarch Chu’s face suddenly changed. “What?”

Matriarch Bai also found it unbelievable. “Offended Valor Gate?! Why would he provoke them at a time like this? The Shen family is already in trouble, and they even want the Valor Gate’s help!”

Matriarch Chu stumbled a bit, and Bai Shanshan’s little face turned pale. She quickly looked at the butler and said, “What’s going on? Hurry up and tell us!”

She then looked at Matriarch Chu. “Mother-in-law, grandmother, we need to find a way to save Cimo!”

Matriarch Chu also wanted to save her son, but in this situation, she was hesitant to ask for help from the Bai family.

As soon as Bai Shanshan spoke up, she felt even more ashamed and looked toward Matriarch Bai. “Matriarch Bai, what do you think?”

Matriarch Bai was furious and said, “Save him? I think he needs to be taught a lesson! Let him stay at home and rest for a hundred days, at least he can keep Shanshan company!”

Bai Shanshan’s eyes welled up with tears. “Grandmother!”

Matriarch Chu also sighed, but she didn’t believe her son was that kind of person. He had been in the Sea City for so many years, and although he went out every night, he never caused any trouble for the family. Even for the one time he got into a fight, it turned out to be a false accusation.

She furrowed her brows and said, “Although Cimo is unreliable, he never caused trouble for the family. Could there be a misunderstanding?”

Matriarch Bai had a rigid impression of Chu Cimo and sneered. “At a time like this, Matriarch Chu, you still side with him? Valor Gate is always righteous and doesn’t bully people, so he must have done something wrong! Or maybe he got drunk and caused a scene!”

Matriarch Chu took a deep breath and looked toward the butler. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

The butler finally had a chance to speak and his eyes were red. “No, Second Young Master didn’t cause trouble. He was participating in the fighting matches for our family this past month, and he finally won the championship. As a result, he was accepted as a disciple by Valor Gate! But then it was revealed that he was none other than the famous thief ‘Rooftop Gentleman’ many years ago, and now Valor Gate wants to break his legs and expel him!”

Matriarch Chu’s body shook. “What?!”

Bai Shanshan was also stunned and looked incredulously at the butler. “You mean Cimo hasn’t been home for the past month because he was participating in fighting matches?”

Her eyes filled with tears as she looked directly at Matriarch Bai. “Grandmother, did you hear that? Cimo isn’t a useless person! He has always been working hard for the protection of the Chu and Shen families!”

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Matriarch Bai already understood what had happened. At this moment, she finally realized that she had misunderstood Chu Cimo.

She became anxious and said, “What should we do about this?!” It was clear that Chu Cimo had put in a lot of hard work to win the fighting championship and become a disciple of Valor Gate.

Matriarch Bai immediately continued, “I will go to find my husband and think of a solution. But Valor Gate’s rules are very strict, and they never got involved with the four great families’ problems. I’ll see if my husband can talk to Valor Gate, and we will also check on the Shen family…”

As soon as she spoke, Bai Shanshan immediately shook her head and said, “Don’t tell sister-in-law about this…”

Matriarch Bai was taken aback.

Bai Shanshan tearfully said, “Cimo secretly participated in the competition to give us a surprise and help the family. But now, he has caused trouble…”

She wiped her tears and said, “He just messaged me that he will be busy outside for two months… This is his punishment, and he will come back only after he’s fully recovered. He doesn’t want to cause any trouble for the family.”

Matriarch Chu, seeing Bai Shanshan understanding her son’s intentions, teared up and held Bai Shanshan’s hand. “Shanshan, what should we do now?”

Bai Shanshan’s gaze became firm. The usually gentle woman turned to Matriarch Chu and said, “Mother-in-law, get someone to find out where Valor Gate is and where he is being punished. I will wait for him there tomorrow. If his legs are broken, I will take him to the hospital and accompany him during his recovery!”

Matriarch Chu’s eyes welled up even more as she held Bai Shanshan’s hand tightly. “Okay.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

That day, a rumor began circulating among the capital’s wealthy elite. “Have you heard? The Shen family is in trouble! The Queen and her people broke into the Shen Manor without regard for their security forces. So this supposedly lofty number one family of the capital is actually like this?”

“I used to think that the Shen family was unapproachable, but now they have fallen to earth.”

“Yes, and I heard that the Shen family asked the younger brother of the Chu family to participate in the fighting competition to establish contact with Valor Gate and have some means of self-protection, but instead he was expelled by Valor Gate…”

There were rumors spreading outside, and Matriarch Bai rushed into Bai Wei’s study as soon as she returned home.

Bai Wei seemed to have known about the situation and was on the phone with Old Master Shen.

He said, “Shall we go to ask for help from Old Hong together?”

Old Master Shen sighed. “I just contacted Old Hong, and he stated that the matter is none of the four great families’ business. Besides, it’s better for your Bai family not to get involved in this matter. Otherwise, if the Queen knows your intentions, the Bai family will also be involved.”

Bai Wei immediately said, “But he is my grandson-in-law! How can I just sit and watch?”

Old Master Shen fell silent for a moment and suddenly said, “Don’t tell Jingjing about this. I have something else to do now. Let’s go to Old Hong’s place later and think of a solution then.”

“Okay.” Old Master Bai understood that Old Master Shen did not want Shen Ruojing to feel guilty.

Everyone didn’t want to push everything onto Shen Ruojing’s shoulders and make her feel a lot of psychological pressure.

After all, it wasn’t her fault that she didn’t marry into Country A. It was the Queen who was too forceful.

Old Master Bai also instructed Matriarch Bai, “Don’t tell Miss Shen about this for now.”

Matriarch Bai sighed. “You are all so kind to Miss Shen, and Shanshan thinks the same.”

Old Master Bai thought of Shen Ruojing’s character and said, “This is all the good karma she has accumulated over time.”

But at that moment, a housekeeper suddenly rushed in. “Master, Matriarch, something bad happened! Madam Shen Wanying is back at the Shen Manor. She said she wants to question Miss Shen Ruojing and see how she messed up the Shen family! She even said she will tell her that Chu Cimo, the second young master of the Chu family, is going to have his legs broken by Valor Gate because of her!”
