Chapter 786: Misunderstanding
Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Cichen didn’t expect that the two people behind him were still eagerly listening to their conversation. When he heard what they said, he couldn’t help but smirk.
He then looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Jingjing, I went to that casino to cause trouble, not to gamble.”
When he was operating abroad, he often encountered troubles caused by the underworld. So, he was seeking revenge this time.
Chu Cichen himself was against illegal activities such as gambling, drugs, and other vices. Therefore, the Loong Corporation’s business included everything except these three things.
The reason why Shen Ruojing could produce the photo so quickly was that she had it investigated once she knew that Chu Cichen was the heir of the Chu family. She deliberately took it out to tease him after seeing the male protagonist in the movie was a gambler.
Of course, she knew what kind of person Chu Cichen was.
But now, seeing him so nervous, she found it amusing. Thus, Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows and intentionally asked, “Really?”
“Yes, I swear!” Chu Cichen explained.
Upon hearing this, the couple behind them whispered to each other, “Generally, when a man swears, don’t believe him. We are all atheists. Who still believes in these things nowadays?”
Chu Cichen,”…”
He really wanted to say, “Stop whispering, we can hear you, you know?!”
He smirked and decisively held Shen Ruojing’s hand. “Jingjing, let’s go home, and I’ll explain everything to you.”
“Okay,” Shen Ruojing reluctantly stood up.
As they walked towards the exit, they overheard the worried voice of the woman, “He’s definitely a scumbag. I really want to warn that pretty girl, so she won’t be fooled by this heartless guy!”
Chu Cichen,”…”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
This small southern town was not big, and they had walked to the cinema from home. Therefore, they chose to walk back home as well.
Hand in hand, they strolled leisurely. Suddenly, Chu Cichen looked back and noticed that the couple who was watching the movie was following them.
Shen Ruojing raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Chu Cichen explained, “They live next to us; they’re our neighbors.”
Shen Ruojing then realized and asked, “How did you know?”
Chu Cichen smiled, “1 had people investigate the neighbors to avoid any troubles.”
Given their different backgrounds – she was a princess, and he was the heir of the Loong Corporation – there were probably many people keeping an eye on them. Therefore, Chu Cichen couldn’t simply choose a neighborhood to live in; everything needed to be thoroughly investigated.
Normally, Shen Ruojing was also a very sensitive person, and when she moved to a new environment, she would definitely investigate the surrounding neighbors. But this time, she didn’t pay attention because she was focusing on taking care of Chu Cichen’s health.
Moreover, being with Chu Cichen made her feel relaxed, even though she didn’t express it openly.
Chu Cichen introduced, “The guy across from us is a livestreamer, renting here to capture the beautiful scenery of this fish and water town. The couple behind us are locals; the girl works in telecommunications, and the guy runs a clinic.”
Shen Ruojing, “Oh.”
The investigation was quite detailed.
The two people strolled leisurely back home, and they overheard the nearby couple exclaiming in surprise, “So the house next to us was bought by them? Since the new owners purchased it, I haven’t seen the neighbors at all.”
The husband spoke, “Always coming and going, he looks like an idle man, probably not taking care of his family.”
The wife replied, “…Didn’t you say? They seem like wealthy people on vacation.”
Wealthy people… This label wasn’t too favorable.
Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing glanced at each other. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
They had always been low-key, disliking ostentation. Moreover, this place was quite remote, and the label of being wealthy might attract some undesirable attention.
Therefore, Chu Cichen coughed and said, “We don’t have much money left at home. We need to be more frugal from now on.”
Shen Ruojing smirked, “Got it.”
The neighboring couple immediately started whispering, “Ah, so they are not wealthy after all! The man must have lost all the family’s money in gambling!”
Chu Cichen,”…”
He smirked and entered the house with Shen Ruojing.
Shortly after they entered, the doorbell rang.
Shen Ruojing opened the door and saw the girl from next door standing there, “Hello, neighbor. We made some eggplant foodboxes. Here, have a taste.”
Shen Ruojing was slightly surprised.
But looking at the girl’s kind face, she accepted the offering, “Thank you.”
The girl smiled and then glanced into their home, saying, “I’m Li Li, living next door. If you need anything in the future, feel free to find us, okay?”
Shen Ruojing replied, “…Sure.”
After a moment, seeing the girl still looking at her, she added, “I’m Shen Ruojing.”
“Such a nice name, unlike mine. My mom is just lazy…” The girl glanced again and then lowered her voice, “By the way, if your husband ever treats you badly, make sure to protect yourself, okay?”
Shen Ruojing,”?”
She understood that the girl must have misunderstood something.
It seemed the joke in the cinema had gone too far.
She explained, “He’s actually good to me, don’t worry.”
However, as soon as she said that, Li Li looked at her with an indescribable expression, “Oh, alright then. Goodbye.”
Shen Ruojing closed the door.
But just as she closed it, she heard Li Li say to her husband, “So handsome, how can he have a ‘love brain’? Sigh-”
Shen Ruojing,
The young couple returned to their yard, still worried about the situation next door.
At ten o’clock at night, it was time to sleep, and suddenly they heard banging sounds from the neighbor’s yard, as if something had fallen to the ground.
The wife immediately sat up, “Could that man be a domestic violence abuser?”
The husband hesitated for a moment, “I don’t think so. It should be something that fell to the ground.”
“Oh.”
After waiting for a while, they heard muffled voices.
The voices were too soft, and they couldn’t tell if it was the girl or the man. The wife spoke, “Now should we be certain? No, we can’t just sit by! That young lady is so beautiful…”
The husband asked, “What should we do then?”
The wife said, “Call the police!”
Ten minutes later, the young couple was waiting at the door with the police.
The police asked, “What happened?”
The husband immediately led the police to the entrance of Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen’s courtyard.
He pointed at the main gate and said, “Officer, the husband inside is a gambler and a domestic violence abuser.. The wife must be getting beaten! Hurry and save her!”
