Chapter 51
Jing Zhen was confused and looked at Madam Yun, asking, “Which Yun Family?”
“Which Yun Family is in the entertainment circle? Prosper Entertainment’s Yun Family! Ford City’s Yun Family! They have an absolute position in the entertainment industry! I advise you to know what’s good for you. Hurry up to come to the company to kneel and beg for forgiveness. The new boss might be willing to forgive you on the account of your good looks!”
After saying this, Brother Li hung up the call directly.
Jing Zhen: “…”
He understood something and then looked toward Shen Qianhui. However, Shen Qianhui, who hadn’t heard the phone conversation, spoke outright, “No need. One shouldn’t get a reward without deserving it. I don’t want it.”
“…”
Jing Zhen held onto Shen Qianhui’s sleeve and gave her a look.
(Honey, accept it!)
Shen Qianhui nodded and then looked at Madam Yun. “See? My husband doesn’t agree with me accepting it either.”
Jing Zhen: “…”
What happened to the agreement of husband and wife being of one heart?
When Madam Yun saw that Shen Qianhui was determined to refuse their offer and wasn’t just pretending, she looked at Shen Ruojing. “Then how about Ruojing take it? After all, you’ll need to have
some things to back you up for you to nurture the three children.”
Shen Qianhui didn’t stop this.
The reason Shen Qianhui didn’t accept the offer was because she didn’t have a sense of belonging to the Yun Family, and thus didn’t want to accept their goodwill.
However, if Shen Ruojing wanted to, she could get associated with the Yun Family.
Jing Zhen immediately looked at Shen Ruojing, signaling to her with his gaze.
Since his wife didn’t want it, it’d be the same if his daughter accepted it!
After their family became the company’s shareholders, he wanted to see how Brother Li would treat him with great respect as one would an emperor! At that time, he’d ask for all of the company’s… background acting jobs!
When Jing Zhen was immersed in his delusions, he heard Shen Ruojing say, “I don’t want it.”
Madam Yun wanted to persuade Shen Ruojing further when Jing Zhen suddenly shot up to his feet. “Jingjing…”
Shen Ruojing crossed her arms, raising her brows and saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t accept it. Don’t be so agitated.”
Jing Zhen said, “No, I…”
Madam Yun sighed and looked at Jing Zhen. “Yesterday, Zhengyang was saying that he’s worried that you might be low-class and narrow-minded due to your poor background, thus not being able to match up to Cousin. I didn’t expect you to have such a backbone. You aren’t bad. As expected of the guy Cousin picked.”
“…”
Jing Zhen stared at Madam Yun. He suddenly straightened his back, let out a cough, and said righteously, “Yes, that’s the kind of person I am. Don’t say anymore. Our Jing Family’s family teaching is that we mustn’t accept other people’s gifts easily!”
Madam Yun said, “I was thinking that it was suitable to give you the company given that you’re an actor, but since the Jing Family has such a family teaching, I can’t let you break the rule.”
Madam Yun sighed and looked at them helplessly. “Other people fight to get money, but you guys refuse a company that is being gifted to you.”
Jing Zhen: “????”
Could he take back his words?
Madam Yun chatted with Shen Qianhui for a while more. After she got up and left, Jing Zhen lowered his head listlessly and kept on sighing.
“Sigh!”
After Jing Zhen made countless sighs, Shen Qianhui finally spoke up, “Honey, what’s the matter?”
Jing Zhen sat down next to her, giving her a shoulder massage. “Honey, do you know which company the Yun Family wanted to give you?”
Shen Qianhui nodded. “I do.”
Jing Zhen was stunned. “Huh?”
Shen Qianhui took his hand and sighed, saying, “I know what you mean, but the Yun Family isn’t simple. It’s better for us to not get too involved with their matters.”
As a business elite, Shen Qianhui wasn’t as innocent and naive as she seemed to be.
Jing Zhen said, “So that’s how it is! It’s no wonder you didn’t get what I was thinking earlier! I thought you didn’t love me anymore!”
Shen Qianhui’s face flushed up, and she quickly looked at Shen Ruojing. She then gave Jing Zhen a push. “What are you talking about in front of our daughter?”
Shen Ruojing, who had gotten immune to their display of affection, crossed her arms as she stared at Jing Zhen.
Jing Zhen rolled his eyes. “The reason your mother didn’t accept it was because she understood what I was hinting at but had her own thoughts on the matter. But why didn’t you accept it? You can’t even tell what I was trying to hint?”
Shen Ruojing nodded and spoke lazily, “En, I’ve actually never understood you.”
“…”
Jing Zhen had the feeling that there were hidden meanings behind his daughter’s words.
Jing Zhen didn’t pay her any heed but looked toward Shen Qianhui. “Honey, then about my contract termination…”
“It’s your manager who called you earlier, right? Let’s go look for him in the afternoon to have a talk. We’ll pay the necessary penalty. Tell him to go by the books. After the money from the Shen Family comes down, we’ll be able to settle the penalty payment.
Jing Zhen: “… alright then.”
He could have become the boss’s husband!
But now, they had to pay the money to terminate his contract…
This difference!
Shen Ruojing didn’t pay any more heed to this couple and went upstairs. When she entered the room, she saw that Chu Yu had his chin resting on his hand and was reading a book.
The child furrowed his brows tightly and sighed.
“Little Yu, what’s the matter?”
Shen Ruojing walked up and stroked his head.
Chu Yu looked up at her pitifully. “Mommy, I can’t solve this question.”
Shen Ruojing took a look and saw that it was a Mathematics Olympiad question for ordinary primary five students.
She asked, “You’re learning this at five years old?”
Putting aside the bookworm Chu Xiaomeng, Chu Tianye also had extraordinary intellect and had started to learn junior-high knowledge long ago.
As their older brother, Chu Yu shouldn’t be this bad, right?
“En?” Chu Yu’s gaze flickered. Did his mommy find this too difficult?
He quickly took a look at the book and then continued, “Oh, no. This is what I’ll be learning later on. What I’m learning now is…” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
He went through his old books.
Everyone said that his mommy did not have proper work and was bad in her studies. Therefore, he mustn’t find a question that was too difficult… Oh!
He hesitated between [Entry-level Math Olympiad] and [Math Olympiad Fundamentals], then eventually decided on [Entry-level Math Olympiad]. “This! Mommy, you know this, right?”
Shen Ruojing looked at the various basic questions such as searching for patterns and even the calculations were just additions and subtractions within 100. She fell silent for a moment and replied, “I do.”
Chu Yu heaved a huge sigh of relief and then opened his eyes wide. “Then can you teach me?”
“Sure.”
Half an hour later.
Shen Ruojing asked patiently, “Do you understand it now?”
Chu Yu shook his head, seemingly at a loss. “Mommy, can you explain it again?”
Shen Ruojing took a deep breath. She never had the experience of teaching such a simple question before. She could only calm herself down and then started to struggle as she tried to explain the question to him.
Chu Yu didn’t look at the book, but his big eyes that were staring at her lit up.
His mommy’s voice sounded really nice. She was usually sluggish and didn’t talk much, but he could listen to it all he wanted now.
It was just that his mommy seemed to not really understand Mathematics Olympiad questions that she couldn’t really explain things well.
It seemed that next time, he had to look for questions on additions and subtractions within 100 to avoid her losing confidence…
An hour later.
“Mommy, I get it now!”
As Chu Yu said this, Shen Ruojing heaved a huge sigh of relief. Both of them then spoke at the same time.
“Little Yu, you’re really smart! You pick things up immediately!”
“Mommy, you were the one who taught well!”
Both of them praised each other against their conscience while concurrently complaining in their heart.
(I finally understand what it feels like to have an unruly child at home!)
(Sigh, Mommy really doesn’t like studying!)
The two of them exchanged a glance and smiled, presenting a touching ‘kind mother and filial son’ scene.
After lunch, Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui headed to the Royal Ocean Entertainment to look for Brother Li to talk about the contract termination.
At the same time, at the Chu Manor.
Madam Yun handed the contract with the legal owner’s name changed to Chu Tianye. She smiled and said, “In the future, Royal Ocean Entertainment is yours! You can find some time to go take a look at it.”
Chu Tianye received the contract happily. “I am free right now!”
