Chapter 50: I’ll Shield Shen Ruojing!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Yun Zhengyang was startled for a moment, clearly not expecting that Shen Ruojing would ask him this.
He fell silent for a moment before saying, “Someone none of us can afford to offend. His actual identity is one that ordinary people can’t come in contact with and will never be able to reach. Pardon me for not being able to tell you.”
So mysterious?
Shen Ruojing stroked her chin, instantly losing interest.
As someone who had retired and spent her time doing nothing, she shouldn’t get involved with such trouble.
She nodded and then turned to leave with Chu Yu.
Yun Zhengyang looked at her back view and couldn’t help but say in a soft voice to Madam Yun, “Don’t you think that she’s too composed?”
Madam Yun also nodded. “I noticed it long ago. Ordinary people would definitely be at a loss from the unexpected surprise when they realized that they turned out to be a rich daughter from an affluent family. But their family seemed to appear… indifferent?”
After saying this, he then said, “But they still don’t know who we actually are. They must think that we’re an ordinary family.”
Ford City’s Yun Family was famous across the country.
However, when they went to acknowledge Shen Qianhui, they didn’t tell her which Yun Family they were from.
Yun Zhengyang nodded. “The reason we didn’t clarify who we are is that we don’t want them to cling onto us… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Wine can turn one’s face red from drunkenness, money can drive temptation*. Let’s not try to test human nature.”
He then said, “Aunt had sacrificed her entire life for the family after all. You should personally lead the legal team to take care of the matters tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Madam Yun replied, “I won’t be joining you when you discuss business matters with Cichen later.”
Regardless if it was due to personal or business reasons, Chu Cichen naturally had to give Yun Zhengyang an invitation since the latter was the current head of the Yun Family.
Yun Zhengyang nodded and followed the butler to Chu Cichen’s study.
After Chu Cichen came back from overseas, he would only go to the Chu Corporation’s office building when he had to deal with work-related matters. Most of his other time was spent in this study.
The renovation style for his study was concise and stark. A big black sofa took over a large space in the lounge, and he was seated on it. When Yun Zhengyang came in, he stood up and pointed to the seat opposite him. “Uncle, please take a seat.”
Yun Zhengyang sized him up.
A 27-year-old man could only be considered a newbie in business, having just grown out of their youthfulness. However, after Chu Cichen took over the Chu Family, his actions seemed so experienced that even Yun Zhengyang had heard people mentioning him in Ford City.
He didn’t dare to underestimate his nephew, nor did he dare to claim to be his elder.
Yun Zhengyang sat down opposite Chu Cichen. “I met Shen Ruojing today. She’s really a good child.”
Chu Cichen’s long and narrow eyes flashed with a dull gleam. He knew that Yun Zhengyang was trying to probe his attitude toward Shen Ruojing, so he spoke calmly in a forceful tone, “It has been tough on Miss Shen to be raising two children over the years. I’m very satisfied.”
His words were almost saying outright, ‘I’ll shield Shen Ruojing!’
Although he always felt very unsatisfied when the woman was trying to find the shadow of another man on him, and he had also warned her to stay away from him, his children’s mother was not to be bullied by others!
Yun Zhengyang understood Chu Cichen’s meaning and heaved a sigh of relief.
It was because Yun Zhengyang had heard the news that the woman from the Lin Family had pretended to be Chu Yu’s birth mother, and Chu Cichen had shown implacable hatred toward her.
But now that Chu Cichen had given his word, Yun Zhengyang wouldn’t have to fear that Chu Cichen would be displeased if he were to try to think of ways to make up for his aunt’s daughter.

The next day, Madam Yun personally led the Yun Family’s legal team to Shen Qianhui’s residence.
The Yun Family’s legal team was very professional and took care of everything in the morning. They returned to give their report at noon.
“Matriarch Shen has been arrested and placed behind bars. The Shen Manor has also been seized. According to Madam Shen’s instructions, it has been posted online to be sold through judicial auctioning. The Shen Family’s company has also had all its assets frozen, and the finance department is done calculating everything. The company will be sold later on and the money will be transferred to Madam Shen’s card. It’s just that these things will need to take some time.”
Their speed was already very fast!
Shen Qianhui said gratefully, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Madam Yun’s attitude was very amicable. “These are things that we should be doing…”
After saying that, she held Shen Qianhui’s hand. “Aunt never knew that you were treated like this. All the news Yun Xiu sent back to us was that you were doing very well.”
Shen Qianhui nodded. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you have her photo?”
She wanted to see what her birth mother looked like.
Madam Yun said, “We have the photos of her younger days at home in Ford City, but I didn’t bring them with me. When I married into the Yun Family, she was about your age. The two of you share a great resemblance.”
After saying that, she took out her phone and opened up the picture gallery. “This is a photo of Aunt that was taken about seven to eight years ago.”
The moment Shen Qianhui saw the photo, tears suddenly rolled down her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on the phone as she said, “I know her.”
On a certain day five to six years ago, Shen Qianhui encountered this old lady in the car park when she was getting off work. The latter seemed to be very old and had white hair. Also, she was seated in a wheelchair and was very skinny.
The old lady had strayed off from her family members, and Shen Qianhui tried to help her. When the two of them were together, the old lady kept on asking her, “You’re so kind. You must be living well, right?”
Back then, Shen Qianhui was in charge of the sales department of Shen Family’s company, and everything was going smoothly for her at work. However, Matriarch Shen was treating her like a money tree. Other than feeling a little bitter inside, how could she be said to not be living well?
Therefore, Shen Qianhui nodded and said, “Yes, I’m living well.”
The old lady said, “My daughter is of the same age as you, but it’s a pity that I can’t see her anymore. Knowing that she’s living well, I’ll be able to leave this world with peace of mind.”
Thereafter, Shen Qianhui found the old lady’s family.
She had a strong impression of the old lady because the latter seemed to love her daughter a lot.
Shen Ruojing sat next to Shen Qianhui and also saw that photo.
Her peach blossom eyes flickered and she seemed to be in deep thought…
At this moment, Madam Yun said, “Oh, right. Zhengyang and I thought about it after we went back yesterday. Since brother-in-law is a celebrity and you also have the intention of setting up an entertainment company in the future… The Yun Family has an entertainment company in Sea City and we’ve decided to give it to you.”
At the instant she finished saying this, Jing Zhen’s phone rang.
He let out a cough and picked up the phone.
The call had just connected when the voice of Jing Zhen’s manager rang out. “Jing Zhen, do you f*cking not want to live anymore? How dare you bring up wanting to break the contract with the company?! Can you afford the penalty?”
Jing Zhen raised his head and said proudly, “My wife can afford to pay the penalty!”
The manager was enraged. “You gigolo! Do you know who are the people behind our company? I told you long ago that we’re a third-tier subsidiary under Prosper Entertainment! Which celebrity dares to offend Prosper Entertainment? If you dare to break the contract, I can guarantee that you won’t be able to continue on in the entertainment circle?!”
“Oh, right, our company is going to have a new boss soon! I heard that the new boss is the owner’s cousin! Do you know what this means? This means that if you dare to break the contract, you’ll be offending the Yun Family!”
