Chapter 400


    400 He Has Appeared (1)


    This voice was as cold as jade yet also wrapped in anger.


    It was Shen Ruojing.


    Shen Jiayi furrowed her brows and looked at her. “What are you talking about?”


    Shen Ruojing stared fixedly at her. “I said that he is my…”


    Before she could finish, she was quickly interrupted by Shen Yuansong. “I’ve acknowledged her as my


    god-granddaughter.”


    Shen Ruojing. “…”


    Although she didn’t wish to publicly acknowledge their rtionship, that was only because she found it


    troublesome. She had never been afraid of the unknown consequence.


    But since Shen Yuansong was so afraid, she decided to keep quiet.


    Shen Jiayi frowned. “God-granddaughter?”


    “That’s right,” Shen Yuansong said, “Shen Ruojing is Qingdai and her zither skills can treat my


    sickness. Also, I have a deep connection with the Chu Family and already felt a sense of closeness


    toward her from the first time I met her. This is why I decided to take her in as my god-granddaughter.


    Why? Do you have an objection?”


    The old man’s countenance was strict as he stared sharply at Shen Jiayi.


    Being stared like this made Shen Jiayi feel as though someone was pouring a basin of icy water down


    her head. This caused her to feel so cold that her heart was trembling.


    She finally understood how foolish her words and actions were…


    Shen Jiayi gulped down a mouthful of saliva.


    Her status as a granddaughter of the direct line of descent was something Shen Yuansong had given


    her. So, a single sentence from Shen Yuansong could also take back everything.


    Although the other branches of the Shen Family were leading very good lives as well, their statuses


    were definitely not as noble as someone from the direct line of descent.


    Shen Jiayi immediately lowered her head and no longer dared to speak.


    She bit her lips tightly and was so angry that she felt like exploding. However, she didn’t dare to


    challenge Shen Yuansong’s prestige again.


    She could only squeeze out some words from the gap between her teeth. “Grandpa, I have no


    objections.”


    “In that case, sit down and eat then. How can girls from the Shen Family not be cultured and aware of


    the customs expected of a guest?” Shen Yuansong’s tone held a heavy hint of reprimanding within.


    Hearing this, Shen Jiayi didn’t dare to argue.


    After that, the banquet became much calmer.


    All the way until they left, Shen Jiayi no longer dared to pull any tricks.

    Also, because there were so many incidents at the Chu Family’s banquet, everyone had a deep


    impression of it. And even after the banquet ended, they were still discussing the matters in small


    groups of twos and threes.


    Overall, it could be considered a pretty sessful banquet.


    Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan were responsible for sending the guests off. As for Shen Ruojing,


    because she was already publicly acknowledged as Shen Yuansong’s god-granddaughter, she was


    openly apanying him.


    When Chu Cichen was sending off the other distinguished guests, Shen Yuansong looked at Shen


    Ruojing and said, “You can inform Chu Cichen about our rtionship and make him clear about the


    situation. It is all because of you that the Chu Family is receiving help from the Shen Family. In


    addition, I can arrange many more profitable avenues for the Chu Family in the future. Jingjing, even if


    we cannot acknowledge each other in public, half of the Shen Family’s fortune will be left for you and


    your mother in twenty years.”


    Shen Ruojing was stunned. “What about the Shen Family…”


    Shen Yuansongughed. “In the past, I felt that family was more important than a single person. But


    now that I think about it, this is why your maternal grandmother chose to break up with me… to protect


    our daughter. Also, after living an entire lifetime, I discovered that humans are innately selfish. Twenty


    yearster, I will no longer be around, so even if the Shen Family declines, what has it got to do with


    me?”


    The Shen Family rose to glory and became the wealthiest family in his hands.


    As he had left behind sufficient wealth for Shen Chong and the others, it should be alright.


    However, Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes and said, “Actually, I don’tck money.”


    “Would anyone ever feel that they have too much money?” Shen Yuansongughed before he stood


    up. “Alright, I should leave.”


    When Shen Yuansong was walking to the entrance, he suddenly turned and looked at Shen Ruojing


    again. “Remember my words. No matter what happens, as long as it doesn’t cause danger to your


    rtionship with Chu Cichen or your life, you must never admit that you are my biological


    granddaughter. Just let everything end with me.”


    After he was dead, everything would transform into harmless mist and smoke.


    Or so he thought it would be at this moment. He had never imagined that the two of them would


    acknowledge each other using their real identities three dayster, and the acknowledgment was done


    using ‘that method’…


    Shen Ruojing pursed her lips. “I understand.”


    She then personally sent Shen Yuansong out.


    As the two of them went down, they already maintained an appropriate amount of distance between


    them.


    Chu Cichen hurriedly walked over. Just when he was about to speak, Shen Yuansong suddenly spoke,


    “Little Friend Chu, how about sending me off a while longer?”


    Chu Cichen nodded and followed behind him.


    The two of them then walked to the car park, and Shen Yuansong said, “Ruojing is my biological


    granddaughter, so you don’t have to be suspicious about the benefits that the Chu Family is receiving.


    All of that is what I want to give to my granddaughter.”


    Chu Cichen lowered his eyelids. “As expected.”


    Shen Yuansong started. “You guessed it?”
