Chapter 45
Lu Cheng seemed to have been given a bad fright. “What? Is that true?”
Chu Tianye raised his chin proudly.
At the next moment, Lu Cheng burst out laughing. “You might as well say that she’s the daughter that the Yun Family lost a long time ago! That would be more convincing than to say that she’s Prof. Z! Prof. Z is a guy!”
Chu Tianye: “?”
Chu Tianye looked at Lu Cheng as if he was looking at a fool. “Forget it, I won’t hold it against an idiot.”
Lu Cheng: “…”
As they spoke, the three of them came to Chu Yu’s bedroom. Chu Cichen brought Chu Tianye into the bedroom. But when he saw that Lu Cheng was planning to go with them, he suddenly turned around and closed the door.
With a bang, he shut Lu Cheng outside, almost hitting him in the nose.
Lu Cheng: “…”
Chu Cichen looked at the woman in front of him. She was sitting leisurely on the sofa with her head lowered, holding her phone. Chu Cichen didn’t know what she was doing or to whom she was sending a message. After that, she looked up upon noticing his arrival. Chu Yu sat obediently beside her and played with the Alaskan Malamute puppy. As for his daughter, Little Meng, she was sitting in the corner reading a book.
The scene in front of him was very realistic and had the warmth of an ordinary person. It made Chu Cichen subconsciously feel relaxed. He strode forward and arrived in front of Shen Ruojing.
This was the only sofa in Chu Yu’s room. After the three of them sat on it, Chu Cichen could only remain standing.
Shen Ruojing raised her brows, put down her phone, and looked at him.
Chu Yu’s room was very big, being a 100-square meter bedroom suite. It didn’t seem packed with the four of them in the room, but when Chu Cichen stood there, his tall figure instantly made the room appear cramped.
As Chu Cichen was thinking, a chair was pushed behind him. Chu Tianye smiled. “Daddy, have a seat!”
Chu Cichen looked at that chair and sat down.
The chair was custom-made for Chu Yu, so when his tall figure sat on this small chair, the scene looked a little funny.
Chu Cichen also noticed this. He lowered his gaze calmly and knocked on the chair’s handle with his fingers a few times.
This action…
Shen Ruojing clenched her fingers.
Five years ago, “he” also had the same habit. Every time he felt nervous or uncomfortable, he’d subconsciously knocked his fingers a few times.
Therefore, Chu Cichen was that guy!
A person might be able to change in some aspects but not their habits!
“Miss Shen, do you need help?”
Chu Cichen’s deep voice pulled Shen Ruojing back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment. “What?”
“The matter with the Shen Family.”
Only then did Shen Ruojing understand what he was talking about. She waved her hand. “No need. I would like to ask you a few questions.”
“On this day, five years ago, where were you?”
Today was a weekend.
On this day five years ago, Chu Cichen had professed his love to her.
Until now, she still remembered the guy who had stood in front of her shyly, as if he didn’t dare to look into her eyes. He asked, “Miss Shen, can you be my girlfriend?”
In return, she smiled. “Okay.”
After that, the guy’s ears turned red.
Right now, Chu Cichen stared at her. The woman seemed to be thinking of something. Although her lips had only curled up ever so slightly, the smile was very strong.
She must have recalled things about her boyfriend…
Chu Cichen lowered his head and carefully thought back on the past. He said, “I was in F. Country.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Shen Ruojing frowned. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
The events didn’t add up then.
Disappointment appeared in her gaze again.
This gaze made Chu Cichen’s countenance turn cold.
He lowered his head and said softly, “Miss Shen, don’t attempt to prove things anymore. I’ve said it before. I didn’t lose my memories and remember things very clearly.”
He looked down at his wristwatch, his tone icy-cold. “I’m sorry, I have an overseas meeting in five minutes.”
After saying this, he stood up. However, when he was about to head out, he turned back. “If you need help regarding the matter concerning the Shen Family, you can give me a call.”
Shen Ruojing understood the hidden meanings behind his words—don’t look for him unless there was a reason to do so.
Bang.
The door was closed.
Shen Ruojing let out another sigh.
She knew that this man was very busy. If it wasn’t for the account of the three children, he would definitely not have come to meet her. Take for example when she had gone to the Chu Corporation back then. It was impossible to meet an important figure like him without making an appointment in advance.

When Lu Cheng saw Chu Cichen coming out, he quickly went up to him. “Bro Chen, she asked you for help, didn’t she? This matter can be resolved with just a simple call. That Little Xiang is just a host. Do you need me to make the call now?”
Chu Cichen said, “No need.”
He then headed upstairs.
Lu Cheng was surprised. “Huh? Isn’t the reason why she looked for you to ask you for help? Isn’t this woman being too relaxed? She sponges off her parents, but she doesn’t care when such a thing happens to her parents? For this matter, we just need to get our company’s technical staff to hack this post and it won’t receive attention… It just takes one word…”
As he spoke, he casually tapped open the link from earlier, only to realize that the post was already gone!
“Hmm? The post was deleted! Which hero couldn’t stand seeing this and did this?”
Lu Cheng just exclaimed this when he frowned again, his tone turning solemn. “Bro Chen, this is bad. That old witch used an ultimate move!”
Shen Ruojing could hack a post and suppress the live stream’s popularity. What she didn’t expect was that something beyond her expectation was taking place.
At the moment Jing Zhen appeared in the video, although it was with his bare face, his disposition and looks were too outstanding. Hence, Little Xiang’s fans saw him and someone took a screenshot of his photo, uploading it onto Weibo.
Thereafter, Jing Zhen, who had always been a background actor, suddenly shot to fame!
The entire Internet was searching for who this handsome-looking uncle was!
This led to the event receiving attention. Shen Ruojing suddenly didn’t know if she should feel happy for Jing Zhen or feel troubled for Shen Qianhui.
Meanwhile, the media worker, Little Xiang, was very efficient and made use of this rising popularity, taking the opportunity to turn on the live stream again. “Yes, that turned out to be a bit of a joke. The guy should be a celebrity. He’s really very good-looking, but it’s a pity that they refuse to open the door… Back to the topic, the reason why we’re actually here is to resolve the conflict between the mother and daughter…”
When Matriarch Shen, who was at the side, saw the door being shut, she knew that there was no way to resolve this matter if Shen Qianhui simply refused to open the door.
She then suddenly clutched her chest and leaned against Shen Ruotong.
Shen Ruotong immediately understood her intent. “Grandmother! Grandmother, what’s wrong? Someone, help! Grandmother has been driven sick from anger by Aunt!”
Little Xiang immediately went over to help Matriarch Shen. “Ms. Yun, should we head to the hospital first?”
Matriarch Shen replied weakly, “No, I must receive my daughter’s forgiveness today. Otherwise, I won’t leave! I’m afraid that I won’t be able to wake up after going to the hospital and will die without peace of mind!”
At this moment, the bullet curtain* of the live stream was instantly flooded with people scolding Shen Qianhui for being heartless and ungrateful.
The popularity of this matter instantly exploded.
In the Chu Family’s guest room…
Yun Zhengyang was watching his wife staring at the live stream. He couldn’t help but frown and said, “Can viewing this stream help us find the person we’re looking for?”
However, Ms. Yun seemed stunned as she turned to look at him. “Zhengyang, can I say that I’ve really found her?”
Yun Zhengyang: “??”
