Chapter 384


    384 The Choice In The Past!


    Maternal Grandfather…


    Shen Yuansong started and wanted to rebut. “I’m not…”


    But in the next instant, he saw the DNA report ced before him. He pursed his lips and read through


    it. After that, he asked, “Where did you get the sample from?”


    Shen Ruojing. “I plucked two strands of hair earlier.”


    Shen Yuansong. “…”


    He stared at Shen Ruojing in a daze, not expecting his maternal granddaughter to be so impressive


    and actually able to pull the wool over his eyes.


    Shen Ruojing seemed to be able to tell that he was hesitating, so she directly spoke, “Old man, I’m not


    as weak as you think I am. I have the strength to protect myself. What are you and grandmother


    dreading exactly?’


    At this moment, Shen Yuansong’s chin tensed and he clearly didn’t want to reply.


    Shen Ruojing pondered and continued, “Is it because you wish to protect my mother?”


    She seemed to have guessed something. “This must be why my grandmother chose to break up with


    you after learning that she was pregnant with a girl. This is also why you denied my spections after


    you got Wen Yuyi to confirm my identity. In fact, you didn’t want to let me use your hair sample to do a


    DNA test.”


    Shen Yuansong subconsciously asked, “How did you know?”


    It seemed like she had guessed it right.


    Shen Ruojing sat directly on the sofa opposite Shen Yuansong and said, “Grandmother is no longer


    alive and your condition isn’t good either. So, what danger will befall my mother exactly? My mother is


    different from me and she’s very weak. You can only depend on me to take care of her, so I need to


    know what exactly the secret is.”


    Shen Yuansong pursed his lips and sighed silently.


    Hey limply on the sofa. “Back then, I didn’t understand why your grandmother broke up with me. She


    thought I was a farmer and still fell in love with me despite that. It was only after learning of my identity


    did she choose to leave me.”


    Shen Yuansong’s gaze stared ahead in the distance. “But I finally understood why today. She has


    always been a strong career woman and never liked to rely on men.”


    As he said this, he seemed to have sunk into his memories and went back to the time when he first met


    Shen Ruojing’s maternal grandmother.


    The description of an ’empire-toppling beauty’ wasn’t too much at all when used on her. That woman


    had a streak of gentleness mixed in with a resolve that was only found in women of that era.


    She was like a de of grass, soft but also strong at the same time. No matter how strong the wind


    gusted, it couldn’t be uprooted.


    He admired such a woman.


    So, after he met her, no other woman could enter his eyes.


    Shen Yuansong silently sighed and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Was your mother happy during these


    years? Is that small-time celebrity good to her?”


    Shen Ruojing’s sharp senses detected a faint trace of unhappiness in his voice that was targeted at her


    father Jing Zhen. Her lips curled and she answered, “She is very happy.”


    Shen Yuansong then said, “So, your grandmother’s choice back then was the correct one. At the very


    least, she managed to protect your mother.”


    Shen Ruojing started. “What do you mean?”


    Shen Yuansong looked at her. “It means that the danger has now shifted onto you.”


    Shen Ruojing. “??”


    She frowned and her first reaction was this. “Don’t tell me you guys joined a cult and the cult wanted to


    choose a holy maiden?”


    Shen Yuansong. “…”


    His lips twitched. “You must have read too many martial arts novels.”


    Shen Ruojing also felt that her guess was too exaggerated. So, she coughed and wanted to press on,


    but Shen Yuansong suddenly asked, “Do you wish our rtionship to be made public?”


    Shen Ruojing paused.


    Shen Yuansong spoke, “I wish to be reacquainted with you guys, but if the result of this means you


    have to break up with Chu Cichen and live like a puppet your entire life, would you still be willing to?”


    Shen Ruojing frowned.


    She didn’t ask why she must break up with Chu Cichen. She only lowered her eyelids and steadily


    spoke, “I’m not willing.”


    Chu Cichen was a ray of light that shone on her when she was in absolute darkness.


    After Shen Ruojing said this, she looked at Shen Yuansong. “So, is my mother safe currently?”


    “Yes.”


    Because the karma had already shifted onto her.


    Shen Ruojing nodded. “Understood. Since things are so troublesome, there’s no need for this


    anymore.”


    After saying that, she turned and wanted to leave.


    Shen Yuansong started before calling out to her, “Ruojing.”


    Shen Ruojing turned her head.


    Shen Yuansong had aplicated expression. “That’s it?”


    Shen Ruojing was puzzled. “If not?”


    Shen Yuansong. “…Don’t you wish to talk more with me and ask about whom the Shen Family will be


    handed down to? Your mother is my only daughter, and you are my only sessor. Even if we don’t


    get reacquainted, I still have a way to hand the Shen Family to you.”


    Shen Ruojing jumped in fright and immediately waved her hands. “No need!”


    It wasn’t easy for her to retire, and the Z Corporation had even been handed to Lu Hui to manage. So,


    why would she seek trouble for herself?


    Seeing how his maternal granddaughter revealed a look of fear after learning that she could inherit


    billions in family fortune, Shen Yuansong had many question marks in his mind.


    He still wanted to say something, but Shen Ruojing already wanted to flee. She hurriedly spoke, “I


    came to find you only to ascertain something. Did you and my grandmother intentionally abandon my


    mother? Your answer is already enough. My mother is a sensitive orphan, so I want to let her know that


    her biological father loved her very much.”


    After saying that, Shen Ruojing suddenly asked, “Old man, do you regret it?”


    Shen Yuansong started. “Regret what?”


    “Regret why you didn’t seek out the truth behind why grandmother broke up with you, regret not being


    able to be together with her, ignoring all consequences as you two would simply face it together…”


    Shen Ruojing was very puzzled, and she didn’t agree with her grandmother’s way of doing things.


    What difficulties made her send her biological daughter to Sea City, not allowing Shen Qianhui to enjoy


    motherly love her entire life?


    After all, Shen Ruojing didn’t believe in fate. Even if there were any difficulties, everything could be


    faced as long as they were willing to step up and face them.


    Even if they couldn’t deal with the consequences, her grandmother and grandfather could have simply


    endured them together as a family. Why did they have to abandon her mother in Sea City and allow her


    to be bullied by Yun Xiu…?


    Just when she was contemting, Old Master Shen suddenly sighed heavily. “You don’t know what we


    had to face. After learning that she gave birth to a daughter for me, I understood her choice very


    clearly.”


    Shen Yuansong leaned on his seat. “Back then, if she told me the truth, I’m afraid I would have


    selected the same choice as she did. And even now, I wouldn’t have acknowledged our rtionship.”


    Shen Ruojing frowned.

    What were they facing?


    What was it that caused even the strongest family in the capital, the Shen Family, to feel afraid? What


    couldn’t they change?


    She wanted to ask, only to see Shen Yuansong waving his hands. “You can leave.”


    Shen Ruojing no longer spoke and merely nodded.


    When she was about to walk away, the butler who was at the entrance suddenly pushed the door open


    and entered. He nced at Old Master Shen and directly spoke, “Miss, don’t me master. He didn’t


    acknowledge you for your own good! If he did so, you would have to…”
