Chapter 263 - 263 Maternal Grandfather
263 Maternal Grandfather
The study was extremely messy.
Shen Ruojing decided to enter and sat down. She first patted Chu Yu’s head and asked, “Are you tired?”
Chu Yu immediately smiled at her. “Mommy, I’m not tired at all!”
Being able to be together with his mommy and having his head patted instantly made Chu Yu feel fully recharged!
Chu Tianye’s lips twitched. “Bootlicker!”
Hearing this, Shen Ruojing cast a sharp glance over.
Chu Tianye immediately looked at Chuyu who was lying by his side. “Mommy, I’m scolding the dog!”
Chuyu immediately barked, “Woof!”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
She couldn’t be bothered with him and decided to help out by flipping through the books.
After searching through another fifty books, Chu Tianye sighed and stood up. “I don’t want to search anymore!”
Shen Qianhui started. “You don’t want to earn money anymore?’
Chu Tianye replied, “It’s too much of a waste of time. I have to spend an hour searching through fifty books. I can use this time to swind…I mean to earn even more money!”
Shen Qianhui was a little angry. “Jingjing, can you talk to him?”
Chu Tianye immediately put on an aggrieved look as he turned to Shen Ruojing. “Mommy, I’m still young and my body is still growing. It isn’t too good to keep searching here in that posture~”
Shen Ruojing touched her chin. “Since that’s the case, you can go down to play.”
“Yay!” Chu Tianye stood up and wanted to lead Chuyu out.
Shen Ruojing then continued, “Little Yu, search well. Who knows… your maternal great-grandfather might have left a lot of inheritance here.”
As the sound of her voice rang out, Chu Tianye’s body froze.
He suddenly turned and sat back down. “Grandma, I think I’ll help you search through the books! No need for any money, I’m doing this for free!”
Shen Qianhui couldn’t help but laugh. “No need, we have to bear in mind that your body is still growing. It isn’t too good for you to hunch over in that posture while searching.”
“It’s fine~my body isn’t going to grow so quickly anyway!”
“…”
The four of them then searched the entire morning but found no clues.
At 4 p.m., Shen Ruojing prepared to head to the music festival.
So, she stood up and glanced at the book [Red and Black] on the table. It was currently open, and the photo that was kept within appeared before her eyes.
Although the photograph was black-and-white, she could tell that her maternal grandfather was a handsome guy when he was young.
She wondered what he looked like now that he was old.
However, she shook her head slightly and left after changing her clothes.
At this moment, at the Ford City Music Academy…
The music festival was a once-a-year event that was organized at their school. It was also the most famous program of the academy and could be considered a grand occasion. Even the headmaster would be present.
In fact, the school even specially built a music hall just for the music festival.
Shen Ruojing arrived at the academy at 5 p.m. After that, she headed for the music hall directly.
Although the festival would start at 6 p.m., there were already many people here.
Just when she was preparing to enter, a row of imposing-looking cars drove over.
The car in the middle was surrounded by bodyguards. It directly stopped before the entrance of the music hall, and the headmaster personally welcomed the personage within. After that, an old man with a head full of white hair stepped down from the black-colored luxurious car.
Shen Ruojing was quite far from him. As she glanced over, she saw the headmaster ardently leading the old man into the music hall.
And as for that old man…
With just a single glance, Shen Ruojing could see that there were many wrinkles on his face. But for some reason, when she saw his features and nose bridge, she felt a faint sense of familiarity.
Just as she was preparing to observe more, that old man and the headmaster entered the VIP resting room in the music hall. Those with VIP tickets could wait in the resting room until it was 6 p.m. before they entered the hall.
Shen Ruojing touched her chin.
It was unknown why, but she felt that the old man resembled her maternal grandfather from the photograph she saw.
It would be great if she could observe him at a close distance.
But after that, she laughed.
Since that person was personally welcomed by the headmaster, he was definitely a major character.
Maybe it was better if she just minded her own business.
In any case, how could that person be her maternal grandfather? It would simply be too coincidental.
Shen Ruojing discarded this notion and stepped into the music hall.
The ticket in her hand was a VIP one. She then cast a few glances in the direction of the resting room before checking the time again.
Forget it.
She should just go to her seat.
She took her ticket and headed to the VIP area before sitting down in her seat.
There weren’t many VIP seats in the music hall and they were all leather chairs, completely different from the plastic chairs in the rows behind. In addition, the visibility here was extremely good, making people able to appreciate the performances on the stage at a close distance.
However, the number of people seated in this row wasn’t a lot.
People who could get VIP tickets were either very rich or had very high statuses. No one would bother coming so early.
In the VIP resting room.
The headmaster of Ford Academy was currently showing Shen Yuansong tonight’s performance list.
He behaved very humbly before Old Master Shen.
It was because the identity of the person before him wasn’t simple.
Other than being the head of the Shen Family, he was also a scientific researcher that was worthy of everyone’s respect! It was said that back then, he had done agricultural research on a piece of land in Ford City and made outstanding contributions to agriculture.
Shen Yuansong glanced at the performance list and frowned. “There’s only a single Qilin Band for folk music?”
The headmaster immediately nodded. “Correct. Nowadays, everyone prefers the orchestra and western musical instruments. In addition, folk music has no way to make it to the international stage.”
Shen Yuansong sighed. “The music culture of our country has truly declined.”
The headmaster also sighed deeply. “Right. Actually, our school encourages everyone to learn folk music, but there are simply too many people applying to join orchestra music every year. Very few people would take the initiative to register for the folk music department, and many students in the folk music department would also request to be transferred out as time passes.”
After hearing this, Shen Yuansong placed the performance list to the side as he stood up. “Time is almost up, let us head into the venue.”
The headmaster also stood up, and a group of guards escorted them to the VIP seating area.
Shen Yuansong stared at the ticket which showed 09 in his hand and found his seat. After that, he subconsciously glanced at the person seated on the number 10 seat…
