256 Shen Yuansong!
Shen Ruojing stood at her original location, looking a little at a loss.
Chu Cichen was on the call, most likely busy with work matters. At this mont, the person on the other end of the call seed to have said sothing important, and Chu Cichen’s countenance suddenly changed.
She was hesitating if she should talk to him out of concern after he was done with the call or pretend that she didn’t see anything.
Her heart seed to be split into two people that were fighting.
The devilish her said cooly, “You’ve already retired! Don’t be so ddleso!”
However, the angelic her hesitated. “He is the children’s father after all. Moreover, he’s also soone you liked in the past. You don’t have to be so heartless, right?”
“Don’t forget about the ruthless words he said!”
“But that’s because he didn’t know. Moreover, it was a misunderstanding…”
“What misunderstanding? Regardless of what the reason was, the harm was done!”
“The prerequisite to there being harm is because of love!”
“Heh, have you forgotten that you’re retired?”
The angelic side imdiately gave in. “That’s right, you’ve retired. Don’t be so ddleso anymore. Isn’t it good to live a retirent life where you can take care of your health?”
The two small figures ca to a consensus in Shen Ruojing’s heart and she ca to a decision too.
Just then, Chu Cichen hung up the call and ca over. He looked at Shen Ruojing and didn’t say anything for a while.
After Shen Ruojing had made up her mind to not care about Chu Cichen, she fell silent for a mont before suddenly saying, “Did you encounter so trouble? Is there anything you need help with?”
“…”
“…”
After she said this, both of them were stunned for a mont.
The woman had always been one who didn’t like troubleso things. It was really hard for her to take the initiative to speak up. Seeing her like this, Chu Cichen pursed his lips and tried hard to conceal his emotions. He then lowered his gaze and said, “No need.”
After that, he explained, “I’ll go verify so things first. I’ll contact you once I have any news.”
“Alright.”
After Chu Cichen left, Shen Ruojing continued to stand on the spot, stroking her chin.
What was he going to verify? Did he get so leads about what had happened five years ago?
Then she should wait for him to co to look for her.
Shen Ruojing turned to enter the house. She had just stepped in when she saw Shen Qianhui in the study, giving Jing Zhen instructions to take a book down from the bookshelf.
Seeing her, Shen Qianhui called out, “Jingjing! Hurry up and co see what your grandfather looks like!”
Shen Ruojing paused in her footsteps and entered the study. She then saw Shen Qianhui taking out an old photo from the book [Red and Black].
She quickly walked over and took a look.
It was a black-and-white monochro photograph. The date was even indicated to be a certain day 48 years ago.
The photo was very old and the edges were a little curled and yellowed. It was clear that her grandmother had often looked at this photo. It was to the extent that the corners were already damaged. Fortunately, it was laminated later on. Otherwise, the photo would have been damaged by all the touching.
In the photo was a man wearing tattered clothes. He was holding a hoe and was standing in the field, smiling at the cara.
The man looked to be in his twenties, looking very refined. His skin was tanned, clearly due to being in the sun for a prolonged period. Despite this, it couldn’t hide his exquisite facial features and his scholarly vibe.
His na was written on the photo: Shen…
The remaining two words at the back were blurred out from being rubbed over a prolonged period. Only the top of the words could be barely made out.
“So my biological father’s surna is Shen as well.”
Shen Qianhui mumbled and her fingers also stroked the person in the photo. “Jingjing, do you see that? Even though your grandfather is a farr, he’s the most handso one of them all! It’s no wonder your grandmother liked him!”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Farr?
Although he did seem like he was farming in the photograph and his clothes were old and tattered, she also liked to wear such clothes when she was researching seeds in the past. They were wear-resistant.
The better the clothes, the greater the burden they’d be when farming.
From just the photo, one could faintly see that this person had a very good disposition. Even if he was a farr, he couldn’t be an ordinary farr.
Shen Qianhui then said, “I wonder if he is still alive…”
In consideration of the ti, if he was still alive, he’d probably be around 70 years old, right?
–
In a certain high-class hotel’s presidential suite.
Bai Xiaojiu hung up the call with Yun Wei reluctantly. Being a man who had just had a taste of love, he smiled like a youth, feeling very sweet inside.
He then ca out of the room and saw Bai Wei seated on the sofa, frowning and seeming to be thinking about sothing.
Bai Xiaojiu walked over. “Grandfather, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about that person’s wife…”
Bai Xiaojiu was stunned. “Madam Shen?”
“Hmm, I keep finding her a little familiar. But I’ve gotten old and can’t rember where I saw her before.”
Bai Xiaojiu smiled. “Then don’t push yourself. You might end up recalling it one day.”
Bai Wei nodded and suddenly looked at him. “What do you think of Chu Cichen?”
Bai Xiaojiu’s countenance also turned solemn. “He’s definitely not a simple character.”
When Bai Wei heard his words, he smiled very amicably. “I have a bit of understanding of the various local big shots around. This is the only guy whom even this old man can’t see through. Now that you’re engaged with Yun Wei, he’s considered your cousin too. Try to have more interactions with him in the future.”
“Yes.”
Bai Xiaojiu had just replied when Bai Wei’s phone rang.
He picked up the call. After that, the other party seed to have said sothing and Bai Wei raised his brows, smiling. “Old thing, I’ll be returning to the capital soon. Why did you co to Ford City?”
The other party then said sothing else and Bai Wei responded a little before hanging up the call.
Bai Xiaojiu asked, “Grandfather, who’s coming?”
“Shen Yuansong.”
Bai Xiaojiu was startled for a mont. It took him a while before he reacted and understood that it was the head of the Shen Family!
Both the Bai and Shen Families were among the four great families in the capital. Shen Yuansong was also from the sa generation as Bai Wei, so everyone addressed him with respect as Old Master Shen. Who would dare call him by his na?
Bai Xiaojiu was surprised. “Why did he co?”
“What?!”
In the Yun Manor’s zither room, Yun Yiheng was also on a call. At this mont, he said in astonishnt, “You’re saying that the head of the Shen Family, which is amongst the four great families in the capital, is coming to our school and watching our music festival competition?! How’s that possible?!”
The capital’s four great families had different degrees of power and influence.
The Bai Family was considered a weaker family, while the Shen Family was a stronger one!
A family head like him would co to their school? That must be gibberish!
Yun Yiheng’s zither teacher, whom he was on the call with, said, “It’s certain. Therefore, you must prepare the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms] well. I heard that this old mister likes music. So, those who catch his eyes will be able to reach greater heights!”
After hanging up the call, Yun Yiheng only felt the pressure escalating.
The orchestra band was using a world-renowned music piece in the competition this ti around. If he couldn’t fix the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms] well, his band would probably not be able to win against them!
He mustn’t let the zither’s reputation die in his hands.
At the thought of this, Yun Yiheng scratched his ssy hair and continued staring at the music score until his gaze turned red.
He was almost done patching up the score, but there were so issues in the connecting parts. The lody sounded very strange when played.
However, he had really tried his best. He just couldn’t figure out where the problem was.
Yun Yiheng scratched his head irritably. In the end, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the room that Shen Ruojing was staying in.
Although the zither was different from western music instrunts, the music theory should be the sa.
He wondered if Anonymous would be able to help him.
