Chapter 458 - 458 Jing Zhen’s ‘Family’

458 Jing Zhen’s ‘Family’

Currently, Jing Zhen was filming in the capital, playing a small role as a mafia boss in a movie filled with action scenes.

As Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen parked their car and made their way inside the filming set, they could see the martial arts instructor teaching the actors various fighting moves, while the rest of the extras were diligently learning. Hence, shouts of “hey” and “ha” echoed from all directions.

Jing Zhen had finally gained some popularity and charm after playing this small role as a guest star on the set.

The director was so impressed with his performance that they added more scenes for him throughout the day. Shen Ruojing had heard from her mother that Jing Zhen was complaining every day, saying that if they kept adding more scenes, he would soon become the main character.

!!

Despite their guest roles, the director gave Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui special treatment, including their own rest area.

Shen Ruojing then went straight to Jing Zhen’s dressing room, where she knocked on the door and walked in. After that, she saw Shen Qianhui lying on the couch and reading the script.

Shen Qianhui wore a slim, long sweater that perfectly complemented her curves while also revealing her snow-white ankles.

Although she was almost fifty years old, her figure had not changed at all. Moreover, she had no white hair.

Her silky, black hair was pinned up with a hairpin, giving her the air of a lady in a painting.

As soon as she noticed someone coming in, she immediately put her legs down and wore her cotton slippers.

When she saw Shen Ruojing, her eyes lit up slightly and she said, “Jingjing, what brings you here?”

Shen Ruojing looked around and asked, “Mom, where’s Dad?”

Shen Qianhui smiled gently, her eyes full of trust. “Your dad said he’s been recognized a lot lately, and he’s afraid of being followed by fans. So, he went to find some bodyguards.”

Shen Ruojing was a bit speechless at the innocent nature of her mother. She asked, “Where did he go to find bodyguards?”

After a moment of thought, Shen Qianhui said, “I forgot the exact location, but he said he would find a few tough ones at a fighting venue.”

Shen Ruojing immediately understood. The only underground fighting event in the capital for the past two months was the one held by the Valor Gate! She turned to leave and said, “Oh, then I’ll go find him.”

Shen Qianhui was reluctant to let her go. “Why are you looking for him? The crew’s dinner is about to be delivered. Won’t you have a meal with me?”

Shen Ruojing replied expressionlessly, “No, thanks. Father has been getting a bit famous lately, and I’m afraid he might be recognized by fans. I’ll go check on him.”

Whenever Shen Ruojing mentioned her father, her mom would turn into a compliant ‘little white rabbit’. And as expected, Shen Qianhui nodded. “Alright.”

After leaving the rest area, Shen Ruojing walked toward the parking spot with Chu Cichen.

On the way, Chu Cichen hesitated to speak until they got into the car.

Unable to stand his behavior anymore, Shen Ruojing directly asked, “Just say it if you have something to say.”

Chu Cichen cleared his throat and asked, “I noticed the way Uncle and Aunt interact with each other… Do you also like this type of pretty boy?” He thought of Song Chen, who was lying in the hospital bed with a face that looked exactly like his, innocent eyes, and an overall weak and fragile appearance.

(Could it be that Jingjing likes that type?)

Shen Ruojing immediately refuted, “No.”

Chu Cichen continued to inquire, “Then, between the wolf and the little puppy, which one do you like more?”

Shen Ruojing was somewhat speechless. She suddenly turned her head and said slowly, “Between 518 and Shen Ruojing, who do you really like?”

Chu Cichen immediately looked ahead with discomfort flashing in his phoenix-like eyes. “It’s not the same. They are all you.”

“In my eyes, they are all you too,” Shen Ruojing replied.

Chu Cichen felt a lump in his throat and wanted to say, “He’s not me.” But he didn’t say it in the end.

As they approached the fighting arena, Shen Ruojing suddenly said, “I’ve been busy recently, I don’t even know if Chen, the fighting champion, has replied to me or not. I wonder if he will come to our fighting arena?”

After speaking, she took out her phone. She still had an unfinished task assigned by Master Hong. Also, Champion Chen could be considered her idol. She really wanted to compete with him.

Their last email exchange was two weeks ago. Shen Ruojing’s final message to him was met with a reply that said, “I’m sorry, your compliments are insincere and cannot move me.”

Shen Ruojing rubbed her chin, lost in thought. Chu Cichen then casually asked, “Do you really like Champion Chen?”

Shen Ruojing nodded and said more than usual, “You know, the physical abilities of Chinese and foreign people are different. White and black people in foreign countries tend to pursue muscle building, but we Chinese are more reserved. Therefore, even though Chinese martial arts have spread overseas, it is still rare to find Chinese people in foreign fighting rings. Some people even ridiculed us for being weak and easily knocked down by the wind. But then, Champion Chen appeared. He is the only fighting champion in China. He has brought glory to our country, so of course, I admire him!”

Chu Cichen raised his lips slightly and said, “Hmm, I also think he’s very capable.”

Shen Ruojing glanced at him and felt things were quite inexplicable. This guy was jealous just now, but now he seemed to have fully recovered.

They soon arrived at the fighting ring. She ignored Chu Cichen and took him directly inside.

At this moment, they were in the VIP lounge of the fighting ring. Jing Zhen was lazily sitting there, and his peach blossom eyes stared at the stage as he sighed silently, “None of these fighters are any good!”

Old Master Bai, Bai Wei, respectfully sat next to him and immediately replied when he heard this, “They are all amateurs, so they naturally won’t be able to get good-enough results to join Valor Gate. Why don’t you simply tell your family how many guards you need? I’m sure they can provide as many as you want.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhen glanced at him, and Bai Wei immediately shut his mouth.

He really didn’t understand why Jing Zhen wanted to hide his identity and become a little soft rice by marrying into his wife’s family. Did the big shot like to be dominated?

As he pondered, he heard Jing Zhen say lazily, “Aren’t your four major families very capable? Why is it so difficult to find some people from the Valor Gate to be bodyguards?”

Hearing this, Old Man Bai Wei was also helpless. “We are not in the same faction as the Valor Gate, and the Valor Gate is not an ordinary martial arts sect. They are very strict in accepting disciples, and many of them were only accepted because some elders in their families were also part of the Valor Gate. Also, the Valor Gate doesn’t like to get involved in any organizational disputes, and they cannot be bought with money…”

Jing Zhen was about to say something else, but when he turned his head, he saw Shen Ruojing bringing Chu Cichen in.

The daughter looked around, and her pair of peach blossom eyes which were similar to his immediately locked onto him. She then walked toward him.
