I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 412 - 412 She Is Professor Z!!

412 She Is Professor Z!!

The scene fell into complete silence, but a commotion quickly broke out once again.

Everyone looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief, and a thought flashed in their minds at the same time:

Why did this young lady stand up?

At this moment, Chu Qianshu’s gaze was in a daze. She was also momentarily puzzled.

!!

Her elder sis-in-law was going to say a few words? To clarify the relationship with Old Master Shen?

This was a time for Prof. Z to make a speech. Many people’s attention was on this!

As for Shen Jiayi, she also looked confused, but her expression soon turned into elation instead.

Shen Ruojing had a face as if she was tired of the world and looked very intelligent, but Shen Jiayi didn’t expect her to actually be so foolish!

Even the host was helping her and bringing up Prof. Z. As a result, everyone’s attention had been turned to that mysterious Prof. Z, yet Shen Ruojing still jumped out by herself.

Why?

Did she want to rebut those people who were scolding Shen Yuansong?

What most people were thinking now was this: Was Shen Yuansong finally getting her to leave? Did he finally notice that someone wasn’t right? As expected, there was still hope for Old Master Shen…

Even Shen Yuansong showed a moment of confusion and was at a loss.

He didn’t seem to understand why Shen Ruojing would suddenly stand up. Could it be that she couldn’t take it due to there being so many people scolding her?

He quickly pulled Shen Ruojing’s arm and said, “Jingjing, don’t be impulsive. I’ve lived to such an old age and no longer care about what the outside world says about me.”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she lowered her gaze and looked at him. “But I care.”

These simple words made Shen Yuansong feel stunned momentarily, and a warm flow suddenly gushed from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, he had never felt that not having any children would be a lifelong regret. Since a rational person like him had chosen to not get married, he wouldn’t regret it.

But now, being defended made him feel as if something was filling up his chest, filling his heart up…

However, the vice president said angrily, “Miss Shen! If you care about Old Master Shen, then you should leave this place immediately! Your presence here is a humiliation to him!”

People from the scientific world were all high and lofty. With Old Master Shen holding things up for them, they just needed to focus on their research. Therefore, regardless of the situation, no businessmen had sat in the first three rows for the award ceremony.

They’d at most make appearances as family members, but those people would either be marriage partners or parents! Even for children, there were very few instances of them attending.

For Shen Ruojing, someone whom Old Master Shen was in a scandal with, to be sitting there, it was a humiliation to the science world.

The vice president understood everyone’s fury.

Scientists were humans too. They were only convinced by experience and contributions. Hence, how could a young woman, who hadn’t done anything but just depended on her relationship with Old Master Shen, be able to stand above them?

Who’d be convinced?

Shen Yuansong immediately said, “Old Liu, shut up!”

The vice president’s eyes turned red. “Old Master Shen, are you going to let her act so wilfully like this?”

Shen Yuansong smiled. He then looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Jingjing, I get that you’re filial, but you won’t be able to get on stage. It’s like what I said earlier, the security guards won’t let you get on…”

He had just finished saying this when he heard Shen Ruojing say calmly, “But aren’t they asking me to go on stage to make a speech right now?”

After she said this, Shen Yuansong was stunned.

He looked at Shen Ruojing in astonishment and puzzlement. “What?”

The vice president even said impatiently, “Miss Shen, they’re inviting Prof. Z to go on stage for a speech, not…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he seemed to have suddenly realized something. He looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief, only to see the girl giving him a faint smile.

The vice president was stunned.

He gulped, and an exciting and agitating thought suddenly gushed into his mind.

Could it be, she was…

How could that be?! She looked to be only in her twenties. Wasn’t she too young?

But just as everyone at the event harbored varying thoughts and were discussing amongst themselves in private, Lu Hui’s voice rang across the entire place through the microphone. He said to the staff member in front of him, “What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and pass her the microphone! Prof. Z is her, Shen Ruojing!”

“…”

“…”

Lu Hui’s voice was loud and clear, suppressing all doubting sounds. His words were like a switch, muting the entire venue.

As a result, Chu Qianshu was stunned and she looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.

She felt that she must have heard wrongly.

Her eldest sister-in-law, who was unlearned and ignorant, was the knowledgeable Professor Z?!

This was too unscientific!

She gulped and couldn’t help but look at Chu Cichen.

She suddenly recalled that he had said earlier that he was going to get a seat as her eldest sis-in-law’s family member… Wasn’t her eldest brother the family member of her eldest sis-in-law?!

Shen Jiayi, who was seated behind her and had been looking at Shen Ruojing in disdain, had her head lowered as she texted Wen Yuyi. The two of them had become good friends recently.

The duo often exchanged news, gossiped about Shen Ruojing, and said bad things about her.

Wen Yuyi sent her a fawning message earlier: [To think that she went to the award ceremony too? Who is she to do that? This is simply a humiliation and a joke. Miss Shen, she must have pestered your granduncle to let her go because you are into scientific research. She’s really shameless.]

When Shen Jiayi saw this reply, she broke into a satisfied smile.

Then, she heard Lu Hui’s voice and abruptly looked up, her eyes becoming rounded. She was both stunned and in shock as she looked at Shen Ruojing.

What did that person say earlier?

...

Professor Z was Shen Ruojing?

How was that possible?!

At this moment, her phone’s sudden vibrations brought her back to reality. She looked down and saw that Wen Yuyi had sent another message: [Don’t mind her. She’s just a clown in front of you.]

Shen Jiayi. “…”

She only felt that this message had a strong sarcastic tone.

Was she being scolded for being a clown?!

Shen Jiayi clenched her fists tightly again, feeling so angry that she blocked Wen Yuyi’s number.

They weren’t the only ones. Other than Lu Hui and Chu Cichen who knew the truth, everyone else present was stunned.

Prof. Z was an uprising new star in the scientific world who had come up with many patented inventions. But how could she be so young?!

Amidst the bizarre silence, even though the staff member was also stunned, he still ran over with the microphone to Shen Ruojing. “Professor Z, please!”

Shen Ruojing took the microphone.

...

She then turned to glance at Shen Yuansong and smiled before slowly heading up the stage.

Shen Yuansong was elated inside. He was so agitated that his hands were trembling non-stop!

He had felt that it was a pity that his granddaughter hadn’t grown up by his side, and he couldn’t influence her to enter the scientific research world. However, he didn’t expect that she had done even better than he imagined!

Even if she were to grow up by his side, it would be impossible for her to become better than she was now!

Shen Yuansong’s eyes suddenly turned red. His gaze was fixed on Shen Ruojing, and every single one of her actions seemed to have become his entire world.

This was his granddaughter! Prof. Z was his granddaughter!

He wasn’t the only one. Right now, everyone’s gaze was gathered on Shen Ruojing.

The girl’s slender figure was straight and upright as she slowly went on the stage.

Shen Ruojing stood up there, looking down at the densely-packed crowd. She didn’t feel nervous at all, as she had seen such scenes countless times.

But this time around, she was speaking up for her grandfather.

Shen Ruojing held the microphone and said calmly, “Hello everyone, I’m Professor Z. I’m also the femme fatale that you guys were referring to earlier…”

Everyone looked at her, seemingly stunned, yet also like they hadn’t come back to their senses.

At this moment, Shen Yuansong suddenly heard a voice. “Old Master Shen, so the reason you’ve treated her so well is because you found out long ago that she’s Professor Z? You want to pull her into your camp and nurture her to fight against me, right?”

The person who spoke was the same old man who was at odds with Shen Yuansong.

This 60-year-old man squinted his eyes. “This youngster might be an amazing character, but it’s a pity that people change! She’s only in her twenties and has endless possibilities. How can you guarantee that she’ll always be on your side and strictly follow through with your plan?”

After saying that, he laughed again as if wanting to stab a knife into Shen Yuansong’s heart. “The greatest pity in your life is that you don’t have any descendants. Given your identity and education resources, if you had a biological child, their achievements would probably not be worse off than hers, right? If she were your biological daughter, you wouldn’t have to worry about being betrayed either…”
