Chapter 204 - 204 Her Past!
However, because this was rush hour, there were more cars than usual. Even so, Muscles was experienced in chasing cars. He followed closely behind Shen Ruojing, and he didn’t reduce the speed of the car at all.
If he wanted to block them, he had to increase his speed while cutting the corner to overtake them.
Hence, Muscles floored the gas pedal, and his car swerved to the road on the right.
He stomped the emergency break the moment he reached the entrance, and his car screeched to a halt. If Miss Shen’s car also turned right, she would surely stop behind him, or she would flout traffic rules.
After Muscles stopped the car, he felt that he had completed his mission beautifully.
He glanced at his rearview mirror complacently… yet he saw that the car behind him wasn’t Miss Shen’s car!
The person in the car kept blasting the horn, most probably cursing him, wondering why he had to stop the car there…
Muscles was stunned. He glanced around. “Young master, where is Miss Shen?”
“She turned left.”
Muscles. “…”
He quickly started the car and tried to find a chance to u-turn. 10 minutes later, he finally caught up to Shen Ruojing once more.
However, the direction was no longer to the film city of Ford City.
Muscles asked, “Should I force her to stop?”
Chu Cichen pondered the situation on the road outside.
During these years, he had been overseas and had never come to Ford City before. However, he had checked out the map of Ford City on the way here. The film city was in the opposite direction, so it seemed that Shen Ruojing wasn’t going there to look for her parents.
In that case, where was she going?
Chu Cichen’s chin tensed.
He discovered that Shen Ruojing had many secrets.
She appeared as though she had no achievements to her name and was a joke in Sea City. But in truth, she was the famous Anonymous and was also a divine doctor and a medicine refiner.
He finally found the common point linking Shen Ruojing and 518!
They were both very mysterious.
Chu Cichen pondered and suddenly spoke, “Follow her.”
He wanted to see exactly how many more secrets Shen Ruojing had.
Indeed, Shen Ruojing wasn’t going to Ford City. She drove in another direction.
Very soon, her car stopped.
Chu Yu woke up first. He rubbed his eyes, and after he saw a bare, gray-colored high-walled building before him, he started slightly and asked, “Mommy, what is this place? And what are we doing here?”
Shen Ruojing leaned against her seat and her vision stayed fixed on the entrance. “To fetch someone home.”
After saying this, her hands that were clutching the driving wheel turned white slightly.
She ultimately had to face the memories of the past that she was unwilling to recall.
Chu Yu curiously looked over, not understanding whom his mommy wanted to fetch. However, when he saw the name of the gray-colored high-walled building, he was stunned.
Fort City Labor Prison.
These words caused Chu Yu’s eyes to widen.
At this moment, Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng also woke up and rubbed their eyes. After seeing this place, their expressions were different from Chu Yu’s. Chu Tianye excitedly cried out, “Mommy, are we here to fetch Aunt Rong?”
Chu Xiaomeng’s eyes also brightened.
Shen Ruojing nodded and didn’t speak.
Chu Yu curiously asked, “Who is Aunt Rong?”
Chu Tianye patiently explained, “She can be considered mommy’s good friend. Mommy has told us about Aunt Rong ever since we were young. In addition, we have written letters to Aunt Rong before, and she also replied and even called us. She made a small mistake and was imprisoned, but mommy said that Aunt Rong is a good person! Later on, you shouldn’t feel afraid!”
Chu Yu immediately nodded. “Since mommy says that she’s a good person, she is also my Aunt Rong then!”
The three of them continued chatting. After that, Shen Ruojing opened the car door and got out of the car.
She stood beside the car and quietly looked ahead.
It was unknown how long later before a creaking sound rang out, and the huge iron gate was opened. A skinny woman wearing a gray shirt walked out.
Her hair was very short, flushed to the base of her ears. This was the standard haircut for inmates.
Her features were exquisite and gave people a dignified and gentle feeling that was akin to an elder sister. However, her beautiful eyes had no light in them.
The moment she walked out, she stood at the entrance and lifted her head to look at the rising sun. Maybe because the sunlight was too piercing or maybe because she was someone that ought to live in the darkness, it felt somewhat unbearable to her eyes.
She then stretched out a hand, which couldn’t be considered delicate after the labor reform, to block the sun’s rays.
“Sister Rong.”
A clear and cold female voice suddenly rang out.
Rong Rong then glanced ahead and saw a woman coolly standing in the distance. This woman was as calm as water, and only her peach blossom eyes caused Rong Rong to feel a sense of familiarity.
Rong Rong’s eyes gradually focused. After that, she gently smiled. “Little Jing.”
Shen Ruojing walked forward slowly. After taking two steps, she stretched out her arms.
Rong Rong’s eyes gradually turned red. She suddenly smiled and took a step forward as the two of them tightly embraced each other.
Shen Ruojing could sense that Rong Rong was slightly trembling. Hence, Shen Ruojing’s voice turned gentler and she said, “Sister Rong, it’s fine. Nothing like that will happen anymore.”
Rong Rong nodded.
After the two of them separated, Rong Rong looked at her and asked, “How did you know that I would be released in advance?”
“A friend from a relevant department told me.” Shen Ruojing then counter-asked, “Since you were going to be released in advance, why didn’t you tell me?”
Rong Rong pursed her lips and didn’t answer the question.
She glanced at the surroundings before she smiled bitterly. “Other than you, no one else came to fetch me.”
Shen Ruojing frowned. “What about people from the Rong Family? Did you…not inform them?”
“They probably find me an embarrassing sight.”
Rong Rong shrugged. After that, she glanced at the car behind Shen Ruojing. “When you helped me purchase a house in Fort City, I initially thought you were doing a superfluous act. Now, I probably have to stay over there.”
Shen Ruojing turned and walked to her car. “Hmm, come let me introduce a few friends to you.”
Rong Rong’s body tensed.
She just got released and didn’t want to meet too many strangers.
But as the thought of this crossed her mind, the car window already opened and three little heads popped out.
Chu Tianye waved. “Aunt Rong! I’m Chu Tianye!”
Chu Yu wasn’t willing to show weakness. “Aunt Rong, I’m Chu Yu!”
Chu Xiaomeng clutched the soft toy in her hands tightly. “…I’m Xiaomeng.”
Rong Rong’s tensed body slowly relaxed. She then walked over and patted the three little heads. After that, she saw a puppy in Chu Tianye’s hand. “Aunt Rong, this is Chuyu!”
“…”
After chatting for a while with the children, Rong Rong eventually sat in the front passenger seat.
Shen Ruojing drove and brought her to the city.
Meanwhile, Muscles’s car was parked a distance away. He then cautiously glanced at the person behind him.
Chu Cichen frowned.
Shen Ruojing drove the entire night here for the sake of bringing their children to meet a woman who had just gotten out of prison?
What kind of relationship did they have between them?
Chu Cichen suddenly felt that his previous investigation of Shen Ruojing was not very detailed at all. He then commanded Muscles, “Investigate who that woman is exactly.”
“Yes.”
His car continued to follow Shen Ruojing.
Very soon, they discovered Shen Ruojing stopping at a supermarket. Shen Ruojing and Rong Rong then left the car with the three children as they entered the supermarket.
They purchased a bunch of groceries and filled the trunk.
Chu Cichen stood in the dim underground car park and saw that Rong Rong had purchased a cap. It seemed that she was really concerned about her hairstyle.
Just when she was pondering what crime this woman had committed exactly, he suddenly saw Shen Ruojing carrying a case of beer over.
Chu Cichen started slightly and he heard Rong Rong asking, “Little Jing, I thought you quit drinking?”
A dim light flashed in Shen Ruojing’s eyes as she replied gently, “I suddenly feel like drinking.”
Feel like drinking…
So in the past, it wasn’t that she couldn’t drink. Rather, she had quit drinking!
Chu Cichen gradually stood up straight.
After Shen Ruojing’s car drove off, Muscles asked, “Are we still following them?”
“Yes.”
Chu Cichen got in the car.
From the looks of things, it looked like Shen Ruojing was planning to head to some small district. After arriving there, Shen Ruojing would surely help Rong Rong to clean up the house. He would then be able to take the chance to call Chu Xiaomeng to come out.
