Chapter 45

n
nLu Cheng seemed to have been given a bad fright. “What? Is that true?”
n
nChu Tianye raised his chin proudly.
n
nAt the next moment, Lu Cheng burst out laughing. “You might as well say that she’s the daughter that the Yun Family lost a long time ago! That would be more convincing than to say that she’s Prof. Z! Prof. Z is a guy!”
n
nChu Tianye: “?”
n
nChu Tianye looked at Lu Cheng as if he was looking at a fool. “Forget it, I won’t hold it against an idiot.”
n
nLu Cheng: “…”
n
nAs they spoke, the three of them came to Chu Yu’s bedroom. Chu Cichen brought Chu Tianye into the bedroom. But when he saw that Lu Cheng was planning to go with them, he suddenly turned around and closed the door.
n
nWith a bang, he shut Lu Cheng outside, almost hitting him in the nose.
n
nLu Cheng: “…”
n
nChu Cichen looked at the woman in front of him. She was sitting leisurely on the sofa with her head lowered, holding her phone. Chu Cichen didn’t know what she was doing or to whom she was sending a message. After that, she looked up upon noticing his arrival. Chu Yu sat obediently beside her and played with the Alaskan Malamute puppy. As for his daughter, Little Meng, she was sitting in the corner reading a book.
n
nThe scene in front of him was very realistic and had the warmth of an ordinary person. It made Chu Cichen subconsciously feel relaxed. He strode forward and arrived in front of Shen Ruojing.
n
nThis was the only sofa in Chu Yu’s room. After the three of them sat on it, Chu Cichen could only remain standing.
n
nShen Ruojing raised her brows, put down her phone, and looked at him.
n
nChu Yu’s room was very big, being a 100-square meter bedroom suite. It didn’t seem packed with the four of them in the room, but when Chu Cichen stood there, his tall figure instantly made the room appear cramped.
n
nAs Chu Cichen was thinking, a chair was pushed behind him. Chu Tianye smiled. “Daddy, have a seat!”
n
nChu Cichen looked at that chair and sat down.
n
nThe chair was custom-made for Chu Yu, so when his tall figure sat on this small chair, the scene looked a little funny.
n
nChu Cichen also noticed this. He lowered his gaze calmly and knocked on the chair’s handle with his fingers a few times.
n
nThis action…
n
nShen Ruojing clenched her fingers.
n
nFive years ago, “he” also had the same habit. Every time he felt nervous or uncomfortable, he’d subconsciously knocked his fingers a few times.
n
nTherefore, Chu Cichen was that guy!
n
nA person might be able to change in some aspects but not their habits!
n
n“Miss Shen, do you need help?”
n
nChu Cichen’s deep voice pulled Shen Ruojing back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment. “What?”
n
n“The matter with the Shen Family.”
n
nOnly then did Shen Ruojing understand what he was talking about. She waved her hand. “No need. I would like to ask you a few questions.”
n
n“On this day, five years ago, where were you?”
n
nToday was a weekend.
n
nOn this day five years ago, Chu Cichen had professed his love to her.
n
nUntil now, she still remembered the guy who had stood in front of her shyly, as if he didn’t dare to look into her eyes. He asked, “Miss Shen, can you be my girlfriend?”
n
nIn return, she smiled. “Okay.”
n
nAfter that, the guy’s ears turned red.
n
nRight now, Chu Cichen stared at her. The woman seemed to be thinking of something. Although her lips had only curled up ever so slightly, the smile was very strong.
n
nShe must have recalled things about her boyfriend…
n
nChu Cichen lowered his head and carefully thought back on the past. He said, “I was in F. Country.”
n
nShen Ruojing frowned. “Are you sure?”
n
n“Yes.”
n
nThe events didn’t add up then.
n
nDisappointment appeared in her gaze again.
n
nThis gaze made Chu Cichen’s countenance turn cold.
n
nHe lowered his head and said softly, “Miss Shen, don’t attempt to prove things anymore. I’ve said it before. I didn’t lose my memories and remember things very clearly.”
n
nHe looked down at his wristwatch, his tone icy-cold. “I’m sorry, I have an overseas meeting in five minutes.”
n
nAfter saying this, he stood up. However, when he was about to head out, he turned back. “If you need help regarding the matter concerning the Shen Family, you can give me a call.”
n
nShen Ruojing understood the hidden meanings behind his words—don’t look for him unless there was a reason to do so.
n
nBang.
n
nThe door was closed.
n
nShen Ruojing let out another sigh.
n
nShe knew that this man was very busy. If it wasn’t for the account of the three children, he would definitely not have come to meet her. Take for example when she had gone to the Chu Corporation back then. It was impossible to meet an important figure like him without making an appointment in advance.
n
n–
n
nWhen Lu Cheng saw Chu Cichen coming out, he quickly went up to him. “Bro Chen, she asked you for help, didn’t she? This matter can be resolved with just a simple call. That Little Xiang is just a host. Do you need me to make the call now?”
n
nChu Cichen said, “No need.”
n
nHe then headed upstairs.
n
nLu Cheng was surprised. “Huh? Isn’t the reason why she looked for you to ask you for help? Isn’t this woman being too relaxed? She sponges off her parents, but she doesn’t care when such a thing happens to her parents? For this matter, we just need to get our company’s technical staff to hack this post and it won’t receive attention… It just takes one word…”
n
nAs he spoke, he casually tapped open the link from earlier, only to realize that the post was already gone!
n
n“Hmm? The post was deleted! Which hero couldn’t stand seeing this and did this?”
n
nLu Cheng just exclaimed this when he frowned again, his tone turning solemn. “Bro Chen, this is bad. That old witch used an ultimate move!”
n
nShen Ruojing could hack a post and suppress the live stream’s popularity. What she didn’t expect was that something beyond her expectation was taking place.
n
nAt the moment Jing Zhen appeared in the video, although it was with his bare face, his disposition and looks were too outstanding. Hence, Little Xiang’s fans saw him and someone took a screenshot of his photo, uploading it onto Weibo.
n
nThereafter, Jing Zhen, who had always been a background actor, suddenly shot to fame!
n
nThe entire Internet was searching for who this handsome-looking uncle was!
n
nThis led to the event receiving attention. Shen Ruojing suddenly didn’t know if she should feel happy for Jing Zhen or feel troubled for Shen Qianhui.
n
nMeanwhile, the media worker, Little Xiang, was very efficient and made use of this rising popularity, taking the opportunity to turn on the live stream again. “Yes, that turned out to be a bit of a joke. The guy should be a celebrity. He’s really very good-looking, but it’s a pity that they refuse to open the door… Back to the topic, the reason why we’re actually here is to resolve the conflict between the mother and daughter…”
n
nWhen Matriarch Shen, who was at the side, saw the door being shut, she knew that there was no way to resolve this matter if Shen Qianhui simply refused to open the door.
n
nShe then suddenly clutched her chest and leaned against Shen Ruotong.
n
nShen Ruotong immediately understood her intent. “Grandmother! Grandmother, what’s wrong? Someone, help! Grandmother has been driven sick from anger by Aunt!”
n
nLittle Xiang immediately went over to help Matriarch Shen. “Ms. Yun, should we head to the hospital first?”
n
nMatriarch Shen replied weakly, “No, I must receive my daughter’s forgiveness today. Otherwise, I won’t leave! I’m afraid that I won’t be able to wake up after going to the hospital and will die without peace of mind!”
n
nAt this moment, the bullet curtain* of the live stream was instantly flooded with people scolding Shen Qianhui for being heartless and ungrateful.
n
nThe popularity of this matter instantly exploded.
n
nIn the Chu Family’s guest room…
n
nYun Zhengyang was watching his wife staring at the live stream. He couldn’t help but frown and said, “Can viewing this stream help us find the person we’re looking for?”
n
nHowever, Ms. Yun seemed stunned as she turned to look at him. “Zhengyang, can I say that I’ve really found her?”
n
nYun Zhengyang: “??”
