374 Paternal Granddaughter

“The Old Master’s identity isn’t ordinary, so you probably won’t find info about him online.”

Chu Cichen took Shen Ruojing’s phone away.

Shen Ruojing was puzzled. “Not an ordinary identity?”

“Correct, back then if it wasn’t for the fact that his younger brother was too weak-willed, Old Master Shen might have gone to become a scientist, and he would be the type of scientist where everything about him would be classified.”

Chu Cichen knew a lot about this stuff.

Shen Ruojing was very interested. “A scientist of which industry?”

“I heard it was in agriculture. Back then, a few projects of his succeeded and achieved outstanding contributions to agriculture.”

Agriculture!

Shen Ruojing’s eyes brightened.

Her maternal grandfather was a farmer too…

At this moment, Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “I know the characters of Old Master Shen’s name.”

“Oh?”

Shen Ruojing’s eyes gleamed. “What are the characters?”

Chu Cichen looked at her hands.

Shen Ruojing was puzzled.

After that, she saw Chu Cichen grabbing her hand. This caused her to blush slightly and stare at the surroundings subconsciously. She then noticed that after the servants here saw what was happening, they were so scared that they immediately averted their gaze. The others in the living room also quickly found a reason to busy themselves as they went away.

Even Yun Yiheng headed upstairs.

This truly was…

Shen Ruojing blushed and coughed. “What are you doing?”

The moment she spoke, she discovered that her voice contained a coquettish tone and a hint of gentleness. It didn’t sound like her voice.

Shen Ruojing. “!!”

She then recalled the kiss in the car and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.

What the hell was this man doing? Holding her hand in plain sight!

Just when Shen Ruojing’s heart was racing, she saw Chu Cichen turning her palm upward, his fingers tracing a few strokes on her palm.

Shen Ruojing. “!!”

He was actually seducing her openly!

This was simply…

She didn’t finish that thought because she heard Chu Cichen saying, “It is this ‘Shen’.”

Shen Ruojing subconsciously asked, “What?”

“His surname is the same as yours.”

Chu Cichen moved his fingers around her palm.

Shen Ruojing. “…”

For half a minute, this man was actually writing words on her palm!

But somehow, this woman, who had never been afraid of an itch, suddenly felt that her palm was extremely numb from the strokes Chu Cichen was tracing. There seemed to be something spreading from her palm to the rest of her body.

“It is this ‘Yuan’.”

After Chu Cichen finished speaking, he continued writing. “This ‘Song’.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She coughed and straightened her body before looking up. “Write them again.”

Earlier, she was too distracted and didn’t manage to see them clearly.

Chu Cichen then laughed in a low voice.

His laughter reverberated in his chest and was so low and pleasing to her ears that she felt like she was flying.

Shen Ruojing then calmed down and tossed aside all distracting thoughts. Only then did she see what Chu Cichen was writing clearly.

Shen Yuansong.

His surname was ‘Shen’ and had the ‘?’ radical.

Shen Ruojing’s pupils immediately constricted. She understood why the old man looked so familiar to her.

He was very old now, and his skin was loose in some places, which obscured his features. Although she could faintly tell that he was handsome when he was young, she couldn’t really distinguish how he used to look.

Now when she thought carefully, Shen Yuansong did bear a resemblance to the photo of her grandfather that they found in her maternal grandmother’s room!

After thinking of this, Shen Ruojing recalled that although Old Master Shen had concealed his actions quite well today, she had still spotted him stealthily glancing at her quite a few times.

Shen Ruojing was beautiful, so she had always been the focal point since she was young.

When she was going to school, there would often be people staring at her in a daze.

Hence, she was long since used to these looks. She originally thought that Old Master Shen had taken a few more glances at her because of her looks, but now that she thought about it…something was wrong. She resembled her father more and only bore a 10% to 20% resemblance to her mother Shen Qianhui. Her looks were naturally different from her maternal grandmother’s. It was impossible for the Old Master to find her familiar.

Just when her thoughts were roaming wildly, she suddenly stood up and looked for the teacup that the old man had drunk from earlier. “Hmm, where are the teacups?”

There might still be some of Old Master Shen’s DNA remaining there.

Chu Cichen. “A servant just brought it away.”

...

Shen Ruojing immediately rushed into the kitchen. The moment she entered, she saw that the teacups had all been washed clean and placed in the disinfectant machine.

The servant heard the commotion and turned her head. She then started slightly. “Miss Shen, is something the matter?”

Shen Ruojing glanced at the disinfectant machine and sighed. “You work so fast, haha!~”

The servant was filled with joy. “That should be the case.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She silently turned and wanted to leave.

“What’s wrong?’

Chu Cichen appeared behind her and asked.

Shen Ruojing looked at him. “Nothing much”

Before she had concrete evidence, she would not say too much. In addition, the Shen Family was the top among the four great families in the capital. If she rushed to acknowledge her kin without concrete evidence, others might feel she had an impure motive.

This was especially so since the Shen and Chu Families were at loggerheads.

...

It was like back then when she brought the two children to look for Chu Cichen, he didn’t believe her at all.

However…how should she obtain Shen Yuansong’s DNA?

Even the internet had no information about someone like him, and he would be surrounded by bodyguards every time he went out. She couldn’t possibly go to him and say that she might be his granddaughter and request a DNA test, right?

Old Master Shen would surely feel that she had gone crazy thinking of riches.

Shen Ruojing ran up again to look for Yun Yiheng. She asked, “When is the next time you go to the Shen Manor for the zither sessions?”

Yun Yiheng was currently studying the fragmented scroll that Old Master Shen had given him. After hearing this, he replied, “A week later. Why?”

Now, he only needed to go there once a week to play the zither for Old Master Shen.

Shen Ruojing had a heavy expression on her face. “In that case, I’ll go with you seven days later.”

“Sure.”

–

After Shen Yuansong returned to the Shen Family, he saw the servants lining up and bowing to him respectfully. Everything seemed so stiff and lifeless.

This caused him to yearn for the family-oriented atmosphere in the Chu Manor very much.

After he went to the living room, the nutritionist came over. “Old sir, your dinner has been prepared.”

Old Master Shen sat at the dinner table.

This place was completely empty. Other than his nutritionist being present, there was no one else.

A sense of loneliness suddenly welled up in his heart.

When he was younger, he felt that it was pretty good even if he didn’t get married. It was enough as long as he had that person in his heart. Later on, he also felt that things were pretty good if he didn’t have children. He wouldn’t have to worry about them.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt sorrow.

Maybe, he should have pushed for kids. At the very least, he could be surrounded by familial warmth right now…

He had worked hard his entire life, but at this very moment, he suddenly didn’t know for whom he had worked so hard.

Could it be that he had to pass on such a huge business empire to the two rascals, Shen Zhong and Shen Chong?

When he thought of the warm atmosphere in the Chu Manor, he sighed and looked at the butler, asking, “Have you investigated? What’s going on with Yun Yiheng’s aunt who has the surname of ‘Shen’?”
