218 518… I’m 527
Explanation?
Shen Ruojing frowned.
The tone of this message caused her to be unable to misunderstand it even if she wanted to.
Why would this man suddenly become so soft?
She lowered her eyelids and pondered before replying. [Wait awhile.]
She then gave a few instructions to Chu Tianye and Chu Yu before unhurriedly leaving. When she left their bedroom, she saw Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen in the living room, looking around the place.
The furniture here was all made of redwood and gave off an ancient classical feeling.
At this moment, Shen Qianhui was holding a photograph and staring at it dumbly.
Jing Zheng said, “You and your mother look basically the same.”
The woman in the photo should be Shen Qianhui’s mother when she was in her fifties. She had a few more wrinkles compared to Shen Qianhui, but their appearances were truly similar.
In addition, their demeanor was similar as well. They belonged to the category of gentle and elegant women.
It was just that the eyes of Shen Qianhui’s mother had more determination within.
Due to Shen Qianhui’s humble birth as well as being brainwashed for many years by Madam Shen, she wasn’t that confident in herself…
Shen Qianhui’s eyes then softened with a hint of nostalgia in them.
This old woman might not have fulfilled the obligation of a mother, but she had given Madam Shen a lot of money so Shen Qianhui could grow up without needing to worry about food or clothing. This could be considered a nurturing grace.
This was especially so considering that she had specially gone to Sea City to look for Shen Qianhui before she died. This caused Shen Qianhui, who lacked motherly love, to not feel any resentment for her mother at all.
Shen Qianhui had always been very accepting with regard to kinship.
However, she was very puzzled. “I wonder who my father was…”
Every orphan would be obsessed with their parentage.
Jing Zhen said, “We can try searching this place. I believe we will be able to find some clues.”
However, Shen Qianhui hesitated. “Do you think my father abandoned my mother? If my mother was still alive, she probably wouldn’t forgive him, right…?”
Jing Zhen’s lips twitched. “Have you not considered the fact that your mother might be the one who abandoned your father?”
Shen Qianhui. “?”
Jing Zhen continued, “Your mother was the head of the Yun Family. At that time, many people were surely pursuing her. However, it was impossible for her to marry out of the family, so there was only one possibility! The Yun Family must have recruited a son-in-law. However, I’m sure your father wasn’t as obedient and handsome as me, which was why he got abandoned by your mother!”
After saying that, Jing Zhen shot a charming look at Shen Qianhui. “Honey, actually I feel even more inferior after knowing that you are a descendant of the Yun Family. Would you forsake me because of your high status now? There are so many fresh young men in the entertainment industry…”
“How can that be possible?! Don’t indulge in nonsensical thinking!” Shen Qianhui quickly placated him.
Jing Zhen sighed. “But everyone feels that I’m not worthy of you…”
Shen Qianhui grew serious and said, “I’ve never felt like that before. Outsiders won’t be able to tell the love a couple feels. If it wasn’t for you standing by me all these years, I wouldn’t know how many times I would have caved in due to the troubles. Also, back then when we were chased out by the Shen Family, if it wasn’t for you buying a house behind my back, our family of three wouldn’t have any place to stay…Lastly, no matter how many fresh young men the entertainment industry has, they wouldn’t be as handsome as you!”
Jing Zhen’s eyes sparkled. “Is it true?”
“Of course. Don’t feel inferior anymore!”
“Okay. Honey, I’ll treat you the best I can forever!”
Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui stared at each other with emotions in their eyes, their gaze filled with sweetness.
Shen Ruojing, who just got force-fed a blastful public display of affection, was speechless.
She glanced at Jing Zhen.
Why couldn’t she feel any sense of inferiority radiating from him?
Moreover, her father Jing Zhen always gave her a very strange feeling. He seemed innocent yet also immeasurably deep…These two conflicting auras actually melded very well on his person.
Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched and she no longer bothered with Jing Zhen. She then went out.
“Bang!”
Shen Qianhui only regained her senses after the loud bang. She asked in confusion, “Did someone just go out?”
Jing Zhen was still staring at her with deep emotions. “I think so.”
Shen Ruojing who was standing at the door. “…”
An adult like her had just walked past them openly, yet the two of them didn’t notice?!
As expected, the two of them were truly in love while she…she might have been an accident!
Shen Ruojing inhaled deeply and suppressed her unhappiness before heading down.
After arriving at the first level, she heard Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun chatting.
Madam Yun said, “…that was roughly what happened. My elder sister is very angry and feels that Cichen is too much.”
Yun Zhengyang drew in a deep breath.
He originally didn’t feel anything much for Shen Qianhui and her family.
Back then, they had gone to Sea City merely for the sake of looking for the divine doctor.
After seeing Shen Qianhui, he gifted her an entertainment company to ensure that she could feed herself. But later on, Shen Ruojing gave him medicine and even helped him look for the divine doctor to treat him. After many interactions, Yun Zhengyang became extremely fond of this niece of his.
Now after hearing this, he couldn’t help sighing heavily. “Chu Cichen only dared to treat Jingjing like this because our family is too weak. Currently, our Yun Family has weakened and is now inferior to the Chu Family. If Qianhui grew up in our family, she would be able to marry someone from the Wen Family at the very least! If that were the case, the Yun and Wen Families would become allies. How would Chu Cichen still dare to treat Jingjing like that? Honestly speaking, Jing Zhen’s status is too inferior. Sigh!”
Madam Yun unhappily said, “You should not always talk about status. I can tell Jing Zhen treats Qianhui very well and the two of them are happy together. This is more important than anything else. If it is possible, I even wish to reject our daughter’s engagement!”
Yun Zhengyang felt a headache when he heard his wife talking about this.
He also didn’t want to make things difficult for his daughter, but an alliance marriage was a major incident and the Yun Family was declining…
He shifted the topic. “I heard that someone from the Bai Family also came to Ford City.”
Madam Yun was indeed led away by the shift of topic. “Bai Family from the capital? I thought they went to Sea City previously. Why did they suddenly come to Ford City?”
“No idea, I heard they are searching for some major character…They initially heard the news that the person was in Sea City, so they went there. But after that, they heard that the person had come to Ford City. This was why they rushed here now…”
Madam Yun asked, “What sort of major character is that?! He or she can actually cause people from the Bai Family to act so lowly to search them personally?”
Yun Zhengyang touched his chin. “No idea. But if we are lucky enough to have a connection with that major character, I would have the confidence to help Little Wei reject the marriage engagement. Sigh!”
Ultimately speaking, it was because the current Yun Family was too weak.
What was the so-called first influential family of Fort City? It wasn’t easy to earn money from the entertainment industry over these few years.
“…” Shen Ruojing who accidentally heard the conversation between them silently took a detour and walked to the door.
This was one disadvantage of living with many people!
She would be able to hear things no matter where she went.
As she thought about it, she walked out of the door.
A black sedan was parked far away on the roadside. Chu Cichen leaned against the car, and his eyes were glowing like a torch as he stared toward the Yun Manor’s direction.
After seeing her, Chu Cichen quickly strode over.
His appearance looked a little anxious.
Could it be that this fellow was here to kill her?
Shen Ruojing took a step back and made a defensive gesture as she stared warily at him. “Let me repeat myself. I’m not 518, I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Cichen spoke, “518, I’m 527.”
