Chapter 401 - 401 He Has Appeared (2)
401 He Has Appeared (2)
“Hmm, Jingjing’s maternal grandfather is just a farmer, but I know that you went to Ford City in the past to engage in agriculture testing. This and the recent actions of the Shen Corporation caused me to have such a guess.”
Shen Yuansong patted his shoulder. “I didn’t misjudge you. You are indeed highly intelligent.”
Their conversation wasn’t heard by Shen Ruojing who was at the banquet location, but she could roughly guess what they were talking about. She was sitting on a sofa. But at this moment, the area before her dimmed.
She turned and saw Shen Jiayi coldly looking at her. “God-granddaughter? Hehe, others would at most take in a god-daughter, but I didn’t expect that you actually got my grandpa to acknowledge you as his god-granddaughter. But even so, what can you do?! You still cannot be compared to me as I’m his biological granddaughter!”
Shen Ruojing slowly asked, “You? Biological?”
“…” Shen Jiayi choked before angrily shouting, “No matter what, I’m still more closely related! At the very least, we are connected by blood and you are not! Don’t ever think that you are someone from the Shen Family just because grandpa has acknowledged you. Let me tell you this. Even though your surname is Shen, our status is different! You won’t be able to surpass me no matter what!”
Shen Ruojing rolled her eyes and felt that this girl was an idiot.
Hence, Shen Ruojing sneered and stood up. But just when she was about to leave, Shen Jiayi continued, “Also, do you really think that Chu Cichen cares a lot about you? Let me tell you this. The reason why he doesn’t mind your relationship with my grandpa is because he is worried about losing a money tree like you! My invitation was really given to me by him personally! Before you, he looks righteous, but when he is alone with me, he is capable of doing some naughty things…”
After Shen Jiayi said this, she revealed a victorious expression. “Just wait. All men like pure girls. Do you really think he would remember your past goodness after you climbed into my grandfather’s bed? You have given him three children, but why hasn’t he married you yet? I’m waiting to see the day he abandons you!”
After saying this, Shen Jiayi lifted her head and began walking spiritedly out of the door.
Shen Ruojing. “…”
She silently sighed. She truly didn’t understand why Shen Jiayi had to be so childish. Chu Cichen and her weren’t new lovebirds who just got together. Their relationship encompassed life and death due to the missions they had shared. Even if they weren’t lovers, they could be considered best teammates.
How could Chu Cichen go and meet this girl in private given his pride?
Yet, it was as though Shen Jiayi was telling the truth…
Shen Ruojing pondered and suddenly had a flash of insight.
She abruptly turned to look at Shen Jiayi.
This woman had a huge rack but did not have brains. Although she was wilful and barbaric, she didn’t seem to be lying about that.
However, it was impossible for Chu Cichen to go and see her.
In that case…who was the person she met?!
Shen Ruojing suddenly clenched her fists tightly.
At this moment, she felt her scalp turning numb! It was like someone had knocked her head.
Shen Ruojing then took a step forward quickly and grabbed Shen Jiayi by her shoulder. After that, she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Where and when did he give you the invitation?”
Shen Jiayi. “Heh, I knew that your composure earlier must have been faked. How can you be nonchalant about this? But then, how can I reveal the secret dating location between him and me to you?”
She directly shook off Shen Ruojing’s arm and strode out with large steps.
Shen Ruojing tensed her chin.
At this moment, Chu Cichen finally returned and came before Shen Ruojing.
He looked at her and suddenly said, “Old Master Shen is a person worthy of respect. Do you know that it has been so many years, but he has never given up researching agriculture science? I heard that some time ago, he submitted a thesis on agricultural science, and the content within was shocking. The scientific world then decided to give him the special contribution award this year.”
Chu Cichen continued, “The special contribution award is very prestigious; only a few people in the country ever received it. Moreover, those who received this award could all be imprinted in the history of our country…such talent is truly worthy of admiration.”
He had said so many things before he realized that something was wrong with Shen Ruojing’s expression. Hence, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Ruojing pursed her lips and said, “He has appeared.”
Chu Cichen tensed. This man who was usually composed had a crack in his eyes from which one could tell that he was feeling intense emotions…
–
At night, Chu Cichen turned and tossed on his bed and couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
His mind was filled with Shen Ruojing’s words. (He has appeared…)
The ‘he’ must be referring to the ‘he’ who had always accompanied Shen Ruojing back then in China.
Chu Cichen didn’t understand why someone would look the same as he did. He also had no idea who this man was. But at this moment, he felt a little panicky.
(Shen Ruojing has yet to fall in love with me. If ‘he’ appears, who would Shen Ruojing choose?)
Although Shen Ruojing’s love at first sight was him, the one that had accompanied her for half a year in the past was another person…
Chu Cichen turned again and suddenly decided to stand up. He then pushed the door open and went to Matriarch Chu’s room, knocking on the door.
Hearing the knocks, Matriarch Chu opened the door and rubbed her eyes. “What’s wrong? If you don’t sleep at night, you will get wrinkles!”
Chu Cichen looked at her. “Mother, do I have a twin?”
Matriarch Chu. “?”
She stretched her hand out in astonishment to touch Chu Cichen’s forehead. “You are not feverish, so what nonsense are you talking about? When did our family ever have twins?!”
Multiple births were generally inherited, and the Chu Family never had twins before.
Upon hearing this, Chu Cichen fell silent. “It’s fine then.”
Matriarch Chu. “?”
Even after she woke up the next day, she was still puzzled. She then decided to question Chu Cichen at breakfast. “I don’t know what you were thinking last night. Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night to ask such a weird question?”
Just when Chu Cichen wanted to say something, his phone vibrated.
He glanced at it and discovered that Lu Cheng had sent him a link.
After he opened it, a huge row of words entered his vision: [Is morality or career more important for an old scientist that has lost self-respect?]
The content within was about a scientist with the surname ‘Shen’ who had made many excellent contributions to the agriculture science of the country. However, he had lost all self-respect. He was close to eighty years old, yet he had gotten together with a young woman in her twenties!
The photos of the banquet were even posted.
Shen Yuansong and Shen Ruojing’s faces were clearly captured there.
In one of the photos, Shen Yuansong choked when he was drinking water, and Shen Ruojing was patting his back for him. However, it looked like Shen Ruojing was embracing him from this angle.
Another photograph showed Shen Ruojing taking Shen Yuansong’s pulse. Shen Yuansong then wanted to retract his hand, but Shen Ruojing grabbed it tightly!
The two photographs painted an intimate scene and would indeed cause others to easily have doubts if they didn’t know the whole context.
The comments below were even more unsavory. All of them were scolding Shen Yuansong, saying he was an old bull that liked to feast on tender grass.
