Chapter 414

414 Shen Family’s Secret

Shen Ruojing stared ahead, and the tone of her voice was filled with coldness.

“It seems that he has indeed not told you anything.” The voice on the other end was filled with disdain,like a ruler that stood loftily at the top. He then continued, “Have you heard of…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, the phone that Shen Ruojing was holding was suddenlysnatched away.

Shen Ruojing quickly turned her head and saw Shen Yuansong shooting a look of panic at her. Afterthat, Shen Yuansong walked to the side with the phone, and his voice was filled with respect. “Sir,please listen to my explanation for this matter…we just reunited and I’ve never thought of resisting…However, she is truly not suitable as she has given birth to three children and is already married!”

The scene at the award ceremony was too chaotic, and Shen Ruojing couldn’t hear what the otherparty said clearly. However, when she saw the look of dread on Shen Yuansong’s face, she felt that thepower that the other party wielded was something she absolutely couldn’t underestimate.

The four great families of the capital depended on the control of the economy in the capital for theirdevelopment.

The Shen Family was the head of the four families, and one could say that if Shen Yuansong stompedhis feet in the capital, the economy of the capital would be stirred. However, such a powerful maternalgrandfather was actually speaking so servilely with a tone of pleading in his voice.

Hence, Shen Ruojing sank into contemplation. It was unknown what the other party said, but ShenYuansong replied, “I’m willing to use half of the Shen Family’s fortune to exchange for her freedom…Sir, can you reconsider this? Alright…”

After hanging up, Shen Yuansong wiped the sweat on his forehead away before he looked at ShenRuojing. “Jingjing, don’t be afraid. I’ll do my best to stop them!”

Shen Ruojing asked, “Who is ‘them’?”

Shen Yuansong shook his head. “If I can stop them, this matter will come to an end. But if I fail to doso, I’ll tell you their identity in the future. Right now, I only want to make sure there is no connectionbetween you and them!”

Shen Ruojing looked at the resolve on her grandfather’s face, as well as his stooped figure that stilllooked somewhat straight. After she pondered for a while, she decided not to pursue the question.

At this moment…

“Sis-in-law!” someone exclaimed. Shen Ruojing then glanced to the side and discovered Chu Qianshustanding not far away. Chu Qianshu was currently cautiously looking at her.

In the past, she kept having a look like she was giving a lecture, but now, all of that had disappeared.There was only admiration on her face.

When Shen Ruojing glanced over and even smiled at her, Chu Qianshu immediately flew over. Shewas very agitated as she asked, “A…are you really Professor Z?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t speak.

Chu Qianshu quickly explained, “I…it isn’t that I don’t believe you. I just feel that this is too incredible!Prof. Z, who is my idol, is actually you…”

She took a step forward and jabbered on, “The moment I came to this venue, I was already thinkingabout what sort of person Professor Z was. When I saw that he was going to bring a family member, Ifelt a little disappointed…”

Shen Ruojing lifted her brows. “Oh?”

Chu Qianshu blushed. “Because I thought that Prof. Z was a man. S…so…”

After saying that, she became unhappy again. “However, sis-in-law, why did you choose my elderbrother who is a businessman? You should replace someone from the science circle. My brother has thestink of a capitalist, so how could he be worthy of you?”

Chu Cichen, who had just walked over to congratulate Old Master Shen for obtaining the award, wasspeechless.

He coughed lightly.

Chu Qianshu then glanced at him and showed a look of contempt. After that, she took a step forwardand held Shen Ruojing’s arm as she spoke, “Big brother, don’t blame me for my unpleasant words, butyou should really read and learn more. A human cannot only know how to make money. If not, youwon’t have any common language with sister-in-law in the future!”

Chu Cichen couldn’t help but remind her, “I have a double Ph.D. in Finance and Mathematics from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology.”

The look of contempt on Chu Qianshu’s face deepened. “You are clearly a top student in mathematics,but you didn’t choose to focus on scientific research and became a businessman instead. You havewasted your good genes.”

Chu Cichen. “…”

His gaze sank and he directly took a step forward as he pressed down on Chu Qianshu’s shoulder.

Chu Qianshu suddenly felt herself being pulled to the side and she almost fell. After she stabilized herfooting, she turned her head and saw Chu Cichen standing between her and Professor Z.

Chu Qianshu hurriedly stepped forward. “Brother, what are you doing? I still have some questions Iwish to consult my sis-in-law with.”

Chu Cichen icily answered, “Your sis-in-law is not free.”

Chu Qianshu. “Does sis-in-law have some matters to handle later on? What is she doing?”

“I have to discuss some matters about the petri dish with her, so I can learn more. If not, I won’t have acommon language with your sister-in-law anymore. So, I guess you won’t disturb us, right?”

Chu Qianshu. “???”

She felt that her elder brother was simply too heartless to her!

Just when she wanted to say something, someone in the distance called her to take a photo. Hence,Chu Qianshu could only shoot a look of reluctance at Shen Ruojing before she walked over.

Only now did Chu Cichen look at Shen Yuansong. He then glanced at Shen Ruojing before he asked,“Old Sir, do you feel uncomfortable in any way?”

At this moment, Shen Yuansong’s complexion was truly unsightly to behold.

When he heard this, he looked at Chu Cichen before suddenly grabbing his hand. “Your children arealready old. I think it’s best for you two to quickly be officially married.”

A gleam flashed in Chu Cichen’s eyes as he asked, “Why?”

Shen Yuansong widened his eyes. “What do you mean why? Don’t you want to give my granddaughtera proper identity?”

Chu Cichen knew that Old Master Shen was intentionally hiding something. He pondered for a whilebefore speaking with determination in his voice, “Old Sir, did something happen? I’ll settle the matter for

you.”

“You won’t be able to.” Shen Yuansong’s grip on Chu Cichen’s hand tightened. “Listen to me andquickly get officially married to her. I only have a single granddaughter, and I’ll have to depend on youto take care of her in the future!”

Chu Cichen looked at his expression and seriously replied, “Sure.”

This was the first time Shen Ruojing saw how nervous Shen Yuansong was, and this caused her to feelmore curious about the real reason. Who exactly was threatening them?

Just as she was contemplating, Shen Jiayi’s voice suddenly rang out from the side. “Grandpa, is shereally your maternal granddaughter?! That’s impossible, where did a biological granddaughter suddenlycome from? You…”

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ruojing moved forward and blocked her.

The girl looked at Chu Cichen and spoke, “Bring my grandpa away first.”

It wasn’t suitable for Shen Jiayi to see her grandfather’s current condition, or there might be morewaves of commotion in the Shen Family.

Chu Cichen nodded and supported Shen Yuansong to the exit.

“Don’t leave!”

Shen Jiayi wanted to chase, but no matter which direction she went, Shen Ruojing was able to easilyappear before her and block her. After recalling the scene from a few days ago when she was beatenup so badly to the extent that she lost a tooth, Shen Jiayi stomped her feet angrily, but she didn’t dareto charge forward.

She could only watch angrily as Shen Yuansong departed the venue. Shen Jiayi angrily said, “ShenRuojing, don’t act too brazenly! Even if you are grandfather’s biological granddaughter, I’m also adaughter of the Shen Family!”

Shen Ruojing glanced down imperiously. “Hmm, from a branch family.”

Shen Jiayi. “!!!”

She was so enraged that her entire body started trembling.

She wanted nothing more than to rush over to scratch Shen Ruojing’s face.

However, she was no match for Shen Ruojing…

Shen Jiayi took a deep breath and suddenly spoke, “What are you so complacent about? So what ifyou are of the direct line of descent? Let me tell you something. Do you know that your fiance, BroChu, is meeting me privately?!”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze sank after hearing this.

She took a step forward and asked, “What did you say?”

Shen Jiayi immediately laughed. “I said that your fiance, Chu Cichen, has just sent a text to me, sayingthat he wants to meet me tomorrow night.”

Shen Ruojing spoke with certainty in her tone, “That’s impossible.”

Shen Jiayi immediately took out her phone and showed her an address. “You don’t believe me? Cometo this place tomorrow, and I’ll personally let you see how Bro Chu and I will be dating! So what if youare a direct descendant? Are you still not made a cuckoo by me?!”
