I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

303 Take Your Pulse

Matriarch Bai hastened her steps, wanting to hurry over to look.

In the end, as she got close, the four children seemed to have seen something bad as all of them had their eyes wide open.

Chu Tianye had sharp eyes so he was the first to spot them. “Aiya, it’s that butler from earlier!”

Chu Xiaoqi was fearful of trouble ever since she was young. “Let’s run quickly, he must be here to catch us!”

Chu Tianye shouted, “Why should we run? We were here first!”

Chu Yu then spoke, “We have fewer people, resulting in reduced strength. It isn’t too good to clash head-on with them, so we should run away first!”

Just when Chu Tianye planned to reply, Chu Yu added another sentence again, “In addition, Xiaomeng will be scared when she sees living humans. Let us leave quickly!”

Chu Tianye glanced at his younger sister who was hugging her dinosaur soft toy tightly and had a look of sluggish nervousness on her face, so he eventually agreed.

The two of them then ran toward that meeting room earlier and Chu Tianye shouted, “We are actually not afraid of them, but a true hero isn’t afraid of retreating when the situation calls for it!”

Chu Xiaoqi. “Right, right, right, right…”

As they ran, Chu Xiaoqi turned back to look and saw an old woman with a headful of silver hair. Although she had a solemn expression, she felt as though she just saw an amiable granny.

Matriarch Bai also gazed at the children.

When her gaze landed on Chu Xiaoqi, she started slightly as she felt a sense of familiarity. But when she wanted to observe more, Chu Xiaoqi had already run far away.

Shen Wanying glared unhappily at the butler. “Why didn’t you come here in advance to clear the area?”

The butler wanted to reply, but Matriarch Bai waved her hands. “They are just adorable children, there’s no need to ask them to go away. We won’t adopt such a stance in kindergarten.”

Matriarch Bai had a noble status.

Right now, among the four great families, although the Shen Family was stronger than the Bai Family, Shen Yuansong had never married anyone in his entire life. He had no wife, so the Shen Family had no matriarch. Moreover, the matriarchs of the other two families weren’t as old as her.

This was why Matriarch Bai’s status in the capital could be said to be top-class. One had to pay special attention to her no matter where she went.

Since she had said it this way, Shen Wanying no longer harped on it.

The two of them then went to the photo wall, and Matriarch Bai accurately pinpointed where her second son’s photo was. It was a bright-looking lad of around five to six years old, and he looked extremely adorable. He was clad in kindergarten uniform and smiled very happily.

As Matriarch Bai looked at the photo, her eyes turned red.

Her life was perfect and her only regret was her second son.

Ever since her eldest son was born, her husband took the responsibility of raising him, not allowing her to guide her son as her husband was afraid the eldest son would lack masculinity if he was raised by a woman. Hence, in her heart, her second son was actually her first child.

Her second son was like a girl. He was caring and clingy to her. Their relationship was the best, but her second son could be extremely stubborn. Back then, he said that he refused to have an arranged marriage and directly left home.

He had not returned after so many years and even when she feigned sickness some time ago, he also didn’t return. He must have hated her immensely.

Matriarch Bai held Shen Wanying’s hand. “I don’t know if I can see your second uncle again before I die.”

Shen Wanying’s gaze flashed and she consoled her. “Now, it can be considered an improvement since second uncle is willing to speak to you on the phone. Have you forgotten that when we first found him, he wasn’t even willing to talk with you? Maybe, second uncle will return as more time passes.”

Matriarch Bai’s eyes were wet. She nodded. “Correct, correct. He might return some time later. He should have kids, right? He probably has grandchildren too, and the age of his grandchildren should be old enough to go to school…”

After Matriarch Bai said this, she added, “The next time you chat with him, remember to tell him that he can send his grandchildren to this school. Lin Yi wouldn’t dare to reject my great-grandchildren!”

–

In the meeting room.

The parents sat on the sofa, but Dean Lin Yi’s gaze swept past Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan and finally landed on Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing.

She subconsciously furrowed her brows and knew that these two were the ones the major character was backing.

Dean Lin Yi wore her far-sighted glasses and sat on a chair behind a desk. This old woman with white hair frowned as she looked over the results of the test done by the four children earlier. She then asked unhappily, “Who is Chu Xiaomeng’s parent?”

“Us.” Chu Cichen sat up straight.

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips.

Could it be that the kindergarten wouldn’t accept someone with Xiaomeng’s condition?

Back then in Sea City, she did send her two kids to kindergarten, but Chu Xiaomeng always grew nervous when she saw strangers and the teacher treated her as someone weird. Moreover, the teacher even suggested Shen Ruojing to bring Chu Xiaomeng to a psychiatrist.

At that time, Shen Ruojing was very angry. And because Chu Xiaomeng kept failing the interviews, this caused her to loathe going to school.

When Chu Cichen said that this was a special kindergarten, Shen Ruojing didn’t want to pour cold water on him, so she decided to bring Xiaomeng here for a try. But now, if the other three children were accepted and Xiaomeng was rejected…

She shouldn’t have brought Xiaomeng here…

Just when Shen Ruojing was feeling regret, she actually heard Dean Lin Yi saying otherwise. “As parents, you two are too incompetent. She has such a high IQ and is a genius, yet you guys are wasting her talent? Are you all going to let her grow up without guidance? Do you know that if she had proper guidance, her achievements would be much greater than now!?”

Shen Ruojing started slightly, but her eyes soon brightened.

A current of warmth flowed in Shen Ruojing’s heart…

Dean Lin Yi actually didn’t treat Xiaomeng any differently due to her social phobia…

As she was in deep thoughts, Chu Cichen spoke, “That was my mistake and I didn’t live with her due to some reasons, causing the child to lack a sense of security. I wonder if Dean Lin has any arrangements for her?”

Dean Lin Yi rubbed her eyes while pressing her stomach with her other hand.

At this moment, her stomach pain acted up again. She waited for it to subside before speaking, “After I received the children’s application, I went to research Xiaomeng’s situation. Now, I’ve prepared a special training plan for Xiaomeng, and you guys can take a look. This plan of mine requires the parents to cooperate.”

She then paused for a few moments before continuing, “I don’t care about what happened in the past, but I hope that from now onward, no matter what, you guys can support the school’s education plan and love the children as much as you can so as to not impede their future!”

Chu Cichen guaranteed. “Definitely.”

Dean Lin Yi frowned imperceptibly when she saw that Shen Ruojing was in a daze. “The mother plays a more important role than the father when it comes to the growth of the children. I hope that you can give them positive guidance. Xiaomeng’s mother, can you do it?”

Shen Ruojing regained her senses and sensed that Dean Lin Yi felt a little unhappy about her. However, she had no idea why. But since Dean Lin Yi was doing so for the good of Xiaomeng, she wouldn’t mind the dean’s attitude. She then nodded in cooperation. “I can.”

“Good.” Lin Yi stood up. “The interview is over. The children can just stay behind, and they will end school at 5 p.m. Please come punctually to fetch them back.”

After saying that, she revealed a standard smile to the four of them, looking kind and gentle.

However, her hand was pressing on her stomach again.

Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan left the room first. After that, Chu Cichen stood up and adjusted his suit. He pondered a little before bowing to Lin Yi, showing his respect for this dean who was in her seventies. When he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that Shen Ruojing was still standing there at her original location.

Shen Ruojing looked at the dean and decisively walked over. She then spoke, “Dean Lin, I see that you keep pressing your stomach. Is your stomach feeling some discomfort?”

Lin Yi was polite and aloof at the same time. “Hmm, a little. I’m fine.”

However, Shen Ruojing spoke, “Stomach pain isn’t a minor problem. Let me take your pulse for you.”
