438 Uninvited Guest! (2)

When Rong Rong was young, she was also her mother’s pride.

But ever since Rong Rong had that incident, Mother Rong was afraid to speak up and be mocked…However, she still cared for her daughter, which was why she had brought her back home from FordCity and even arranged for her to meet Dr. Xu through a matchmaker.

Perhaps a mother would always be biased.

When one daughter could always bring her glory and another daughter would make her the object ofridicule, it was natural for her to be partial to Rong Yue.

But at this moment, her heart was moved by what she saw. Rong Rong was clearly Miss Shen’s friend,and Mother Rong had scolded her before. Even then, Rong Rong was still standing protectively in frontof her…

As a result, Mother Rong’s eyes turned red as she tightly held Rong Rong’s hand. She then looked atShen Ruojing and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to smooth the situation over withShen Ruojing.

Just then, Shen Ruojing spoke up, “Sister Rong, there’s no need to be so polite. Auntie was just jokingwith me. But…I really don’t know your younger sister. I had the invitation specifically sent to you by mybutler.”

With those words, she gave Rong Rong a faint smile and walked toward Shen Yuansong!

However, her words felt like a slap in the face to Rong Yue, leaving her stunned.

The people who had just complimented her and asked her to introduce Miss Shen to them were nowlooking at her with contemptuous eyes.

Xiaoxin even chuckled, “Oh, so it’s the elder Miss Rong who’s close with Miss Shen, not you! Weren’tyou chatting with Miss Shen on WeChat not long ago? Was it all fake? Were you trying to show off andact rich with your swollen ego!?”

Rong Yue. “!!”

She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She felt that everyone around her was looking at her withridicule in their eyes.

She then lowered her head and suddenly ran out.

However, her situation was just a small episode, and no one paid any attention to her at this point.

Everyone’s eyes were on Shen Ruojing. Some were curious, some hesitant, but all were with a hint ofscrutiny and respect.

When Shen Ruojing approached Shen Yuansong, he smiled and said, “Let me reintroduce her toeveryone. This is my granddaughter! She’s also the famous Professor Z in the scientific community! Ihope everyone will take care of her in the future!”

The last sentence was directed at the people in the scientific community.

Everyone immediately understood what he meant.

Shen Yuansong waved his hand and said, “Okay, we’re done introducing the protagonist. Everyone canhave fun now!”

With that, everyone surrounded them.

“Old Master Shen, congratulations! In the past, we felt it was a shame you didn’t have any offspring toinherit your good genes, but it turned out that the younger generation has surpassed the older. MissShen has achieved more than you did at her age!”

Complimenting Shen Ruojing would make Shen Yuansong happier than complimenting him, andeveryone understood that.

As expected, Shen Yuansong began laughing out loud uproariously.

“Miss Shen has a bright future ahead of her! We need young leaders like her in the scientificcommunity. Old Master Shen, you have a worthy successor!”

“In the next election, I’ll definitely vote for Professor Z!”

“I’ve always admired Prof Z, but I never thought she was your granddaughter!”

“…”

Shen Ruojing wasn’t used to this kind of atmosphere, so she quietly slipped out of the crowd.

But before she could leave, Mother Rong stopped her.

Mother Rong lowered her head and looked at Shen Ruojing with a pleading smile. “Miss Shen, I…Ihave a few words I’d like to say to you.”

“Please go ahead,” Shen Ruojing said.

Mother Rong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she sighed. “I knowthat in your eyes, I’m not a good mother. I’m power-hungry. But the truth is, I’m probably someone whowants Rong Rong to do well the most in this world. I’m really sorry for how I treated you before. But Istill want to make a request…”

She lowered her voice a notch and said, “Can you keep the incident from thirteen years ago a secretfor Rong Rong? This society is too cruel to girls. Even though we understand that nothing happened toher after she was abducted, outsiders might not think the same way.”

Shen Ruojing sighed.

She wasn’t very angry with Mother Rong because she knew that Mother Rong’s rudeness to her wasreally for Rong Rong’s sake.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Rong Rong in the crowd.

Rong Rong had already blended back in with the group, and now that she had just shown how closeshe was with Shen Ruojing, those people were even more eager to please her, and her smile becamea little more sincere.

Shen Ruojing said, “Don’t worry, I will keep what happened back then in my heart. This is because Ihope that Sister Rong can return to a normal life.”

Hearing this, Mother Rong immediately lowered her head and murmured her thanks.

At this moment, there was suddenly a commotion at the door.

Then, the butler hurriedly walked in and said, “Master, something bad has happened, an unexpectedguest has arrived!”

As soon as this sentence fell, a sinister figure walked in and stood at the door. His gaze first lockedonto Shen Ruojing, and then he smiled and said, “Miss Shen, long time no see!”

Shen Ruojing’s pupils shrank when she saw him.

The person who came was actually Dugu Xiao!

The man was wearing a purple suit, with a low-cut shirt inside that revealed a bit of his chest. Helooked charming and unrestrained, but his entire aura was not to be underestimated.

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes, but just when she was about to say something, two figures suddenlyblocked her path.

One of the figures exuded a steady and reliable aura, making people feel at ease. He was notparticularly conspicuous at the banquet, but now, he suddenly burst forth with an aura powerful enoughto confront Dugu Xiao. It was Chu Cichen.

The other was an old but straight-backed figure, Shen Yuansong.

Shen Yuansong’s experienced eyes swept over, and he immediately understood that this person wasprobably here to cause trouble for his granddaughter. So he directly said in a domineering tone, “Mr.Dugu, you entered the Shen’s residence without an invitation, isn’t this considered trespassing?”

Dugu Xiao curled his lips and said, “Miss Shen taught me that when I came to China, I should abide bythe law. So how could I knowingly violate it?”

He then glanced at Shen Ruojing.

Previously, Shen Ruojing had reported him to the police, saying that he had killed someone with a gun.Because of it, the special department’s team led by Captain Cui had been chasing him for a long time,and he had to put in a lot of effort to shake off suspicion. Now, he was finally in the clear.

Dugu Xiao smiled. “I’m here today to help the police investigate a case.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his body to the side, and two police officers immediately steppedforward and looked directly at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, are you Professor Z?”

Shen Ruojing was confused. “Yes.”

“Hello, we are the special department law enforcement agency. We received Mr. Dugu’s report that youinvented the No. 5 Neurotoxin, which violates our country’s pharmaceutical law. Please come with usfor investigation!”

Making drugs privately, especially such poisonous drugs, was a violation of the law! If caught, thepenalty could be life imprisonment!
