Chapter 70 - Ingrates?

Translator: Lordbluefire

Chu Cichen was signing documents and he paused upon hearing this. His long and slender fingers grabbed tightly onto his fountain pen.

His face was lowered, and his long lashes covered the deep thought in his gaze. He didn’t say anything, and it made it hard for others to guess what he was thinking.

“The post is up! The post is up!”

When Lu Cheng spoke, Chu Cichen raised his head and looked at him with a deep gaze.

Lu Cheng opened up Weibo and was shocked when he saw the content.

He looked at his phone, wiped his eyes again, and then looked at it again. In the end, he looked up at Chu Cichen. “F*ck! “Bro Chen, this, this…”

Chu Cichen frowned. “What’s the fuss about?”

Lu Cheng swallowed his saliva and handed the phone to Chu Cichen. He saw the latest Weibo content posted by Anonymous was:

Anonymous?: [I’m female, age 26. I’m the Miss S. mentioned in the malicious rumors circulating. I indeed have a secret relationship with myself. Thank you.]

This brought about a wave of comments to the post.

——is Anonymous only 26 years old? And she’s a young lady?! F*ck!

——Oh my god, I can’t imagine that. Five years ago, Anonymous was only 21 years old, but she could compose music and write lyrics for songs like [Snow In June] and [Stalwart Petiteness] with such profound meanings. Isn’t this person such a genius?

——I had been waiting for Teacher Anonymous’s scandal, but to think that her identity was exposed?

——Ahhhh! Teacher Anonymous must have cheat mode on for her life!

…

…

A whole load of people commented on the post and Chu Cichen frowned. He asked, feeling puzzled, “What wealth does the Shen Family have for her to inherit?”

“…” Lu Cheng’s lips twitched. “Boss, this is a new Internet saying. It’s just a joke…”

Chu Cichen nodded.

He glanced once more at Lu Cheng’s phone before returning it to him.

However, Lu Cheng still couldn’t hold back his astonishment and said, “Shen Ruojing has always been the representative for being ignorant and incompetent since she was young. Yet, she suddenly became Anonymous, the most outstanding talent in the composing world in these recent years. Why do I find this so unrealistic? Bro Chen, this is what her Weibo post meant, right? I haven’t misunderstood the Chinese words here, right?”

To this, Chu Cichen only gave him a word in reply. “Scram.”

“Alright.”

Lu Cheng stuffed his phone back into the pocket of his flowery shirt and then headed out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, “Bro Chen, you won’t fall in love with her just because she can write songs, right?”

The reply he received was a flying fountain pen.

Lu Cheng jumped on the spot. If he was just the slightest bit slower, this fountain pen might have poked him in the eye.

Chu Cichen said coldly, “I think that Southeast Asia suits you.”

Lu Cheng: “…”

Only after Lu Cheng left did Chu Cichen take out another fountain pen. However, when he lowered his head to read the documents again, he couldn’t focus on the work.

He felt very curious.

He was very curious about Shen Ruojing. Only after having made contact with her did he discover that Shen Ruojing was indeed very independent and confident, but not blindly narcissistic.

She had areas in which she was different from others…

Chu Cichen took a deep breath and suddenly switched on his computer to search for the song [Snow In June] and then played it.

The song wasn’t a touching one like he imagined it to be. [Snow In June] wasn’t talking about a romantic story but instead had a wide range of pitches, as if reflecting some kind of natural or man-made disaster. It was very heart-rending.

Chu Cichen’s eyes narrowed.

This wasn’t a song that a young girl who hadn’t experienced much of the world could come up with.

So what on earth had she been through?

–

Shen Ruojing didn’t have any thoughts about Chu Cichen and was staying at home.

Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen sat on the sofa opposite her. The two of them kept surveying her.

“Jingjing, you’re so young, but you’re really Teacher Anonymous?” Shen Qianhui looked at her in disbelief. “Although I think my daughter is very amazing, I didn’t know that you are actually this amazing…”

Jing Zhen frowned. “Hmm. Do you think I would receive a lot of work requests if I were to say that all the production teams I join would be able to request for Teacher Anonymous to write their film’s ending song?”

Shen Ruojing: “?”

–

When Li Zhuo and Jin Chi`en saw this Weibo post. Their countenances didn’t look good.

Jin Chi`en’s eyes widened. “So Teacher Anonymous turns out to be Jing Zhen’s ignorant and incompetent daughter?”

Li Zhuo furrowed his brows tightly. “Could it be that in this day and age, calling someone ignorant and incompetent is a form of compliment? Do they have some misunderstanding toward this description?!”

“…”

“…”

Both of them looked toward Yun Zhengze and saw that his countenance was very grim.

The reason Yun Zhengze had set up his own company and broken away from the Yun Family’s control was to prove his capabilities to the Yun Family.

Yun Zhengyang didn’t have many days left to live. After he died, wouldn’t Yun Zhengze be able to take over the company then? However, the Shen Family was an unexpected variable in this.

Yun Zhengze then narrowed his eyes and suddenly headed out.

–

At the Chu Manor.

Matriarch Chu was also paying attention to Weibo and when she saw this piece of news, she was stunned. “Little Ye, didn’t you say that your mommy only knows a little about music?”

“That’s right!” Chu Tianye nodded vigorously. “It’s true that Mommy only knows a little*. If you don’t believe me, ask Sister!”

Matriarch Chu: “…”

Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun were still staying at the Chu Manor. When they heard this, Madam Yun said in surprise, “I didn’t expect that I had accidentally given the company to the right person!”

“…”

Yun Zhengyang couldn’t help but smile, wearing an expression that had a hint of satisfaction on his face.

However, when Madam Yun saw his pale complexion, she couldn’t help but sigh.

Matriarch Chu asked, “Is the blood compatibility test not done yet?”

“No…”

Madam Yun shook her head. “I don’t know how we should bring this matter up to Shen Qianhui.”

Yun Zhengyang pushed his spectacles up. “Bring what up? The chances are so low. It won’t be a match.”

Madam Yun thought about it and then said, “But I won’t be able to accept it without giving it a try first.”

Yun Zhengyang lowered his gaze. “Once this matter is brought up, it’d seem as if the reason you gave the company to them is because of this… Goodwill will be seen as an interest.”

Madam Yun was hesitant to speak.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing entered.

She couldn’t stand listening to Jing Zhen’s wailing at home to ask her to write songs for his future acting roles. Therefore, she came to the Chu Manor to hide on the pretext of visiting the children.

At the Chu Family, there wouldn’t be anyone asking her to write songs, right?

Shen Ruojing had just entered the house when she heard Yun Zhengyang’s words. She lowered her gaze and thought about it for a little before saying, “That’s right. There isn’t much point for my mom to do a blood compatibility test with you.”

After Shen Ruojing said this, Madam Yun’s face changed.

However, Yun Zhengyang was very open-minded. “Mn.”

Unexpectedly, just as Yun Zhengyang finished speaking, Yun Zhengze’s voice sounded from the door. “Tsk tsk, Big Brother, you’ve treated their family well for nothing. You gave them a company and even helped them to take care of troublemakers. But in the end, they don’t want to do a blood compatibility test with you at all. What is this called? You’ve suffered a double loss!”

After saying that, he looked toward Shen Ruojing. “Your family is a bunch of ingrates. If it wasn’t for him, you guys would still be the Shen Family that’s bullied by others. Now…”

Yun Zhengze smiled. “Big Brother, rather than putting your hopes on having these bunch of ingrates doing a blood compatibility test with you, you might as well place your hopes on that miraculous doctor!”
