437 Uninvited Guest! (1)
Mother Rong was completely dumbfounded!
Even Wen Yuyi was stunned. She stared at Shen Ruojing in disbelief and shouted, “A…are you not Old Master Shen’s god-granddaughter? How is this…”
Shen Ruojing ignored her. At the current height she was standing at, she basically didn’t place Wen Yuyi in her eyes.
Wen Yuyi was only able to mix with high society because Shen Jiayi gave her face. But from now on, everyone would know that she had offended the young lady of the Shen family, Shen Ruojing. Even without Shen Ruojing having to lift a finger, Wen Yuyi would no longer have a place there!
She might even implicate the Wen family.
Many people present, including Wen Yuyi, shared the same thought. So, Old Master Shen laughed and said, “I felt a connection with Ruojing before, so I recognized her as my god-granddaughter. Later, I discovered that she really is my biological granddaughter! Her mother is my biological daughter that I left estranged outside!”
Wen Yuyi involuntarily exclaimed, “This is impossible. Her mother’s father was clearly a poor and destitute farmer! That’s why she was abandoned in the first place!”
As soon as she said this, Shen Yuansong’s eyes darkened. Now at over seventy years old, he was no longer the hot-headed young man who would get angry at the slightest provocation. Shen Yuansong understood even better that the woman from the Yun family could not have left him because she despised him. It was because she knew his identity and what their daughter would have to face. That was why she chose to leave him…
Shen Yuansong looked directly at her and coldly laughed. “I am that farmer. So what?”
The butler beside him explained, “At that time, my master was conducting experiments on a test field in Ford City, and he brought people there to conduct research.”
Shen Yuansong reprimanded him, “Why are you explaining this? What’s wrong with being a farmer? If there were no farmers, could you eat? My research was about how to grow more crops in the fields. The farmers near Ford City have a lot of experience growing crops, and they were my teachers! We are in a new society now, and you all have never done any manual labor. It’s all because of them that you’re not starving! Otherwise, you would all be starving to death!”
After a moment of silence, applause suddenly broke out in the room.
Someone shouted, “The old master is right. We may be doing well now, but a few generations back, who wasn’t a farmer? Looking down on farmers is the same as looking down on our own ancestors!”
Shen Yuansong nodded, but he stared at Wen Yuyi and said, “Who invited her? We can’t afford such an ill-mannered girl in the Shen family. Please leave!”
His words sounded polite, but as soon as he spoke, several bodyguards rushed in and directly grabbed Wen Yuyi, throwing her out without any courtesy!
In an instant, the whole room fell silent!
Normally, at this kind of banquet, many people who snuck in wouldn’t feel too worried. As long as they didn’t perform too poorly, the host would not make a big fuss about driving them away.
Shen Yuansong also had no reason to argue with a young girl in her twenties.
But he did it anyway.
Why?
Everyone turned to look at Shen Ruojing, and in an instant, everyone understood.
The words Wen Yuyi used to insult Miss Shen had been heard by the old man, and he was protecting his granddaughter!
Shen Yuansong had always been highly respected and had never interfered with the affairs of his juniors. But this time, he did… enough to show the position of Miss Shen in his heart.
At this moment, everyone looked at Shen Ruojing with awe in their eyes.
They understood that from now on, in the capital, the person that they couldn’t afford to offend the most was her!
Even Mother Rong was frightened and her face had turned white.
She was even trembling and almost fell to the ground.
When she married into the Rong family, the family had not yet split, and they were a legitimate branch. Hence, Mrs. Rong had attended various banquets and was considered an honorable person.
But thinking back on the words she had just said, they were even more offensive than what the young girl had said…
Would Miss Shen also drive her away?
Mother Rong looked to her second daughter, Rong Yue, for help, hoping that her second daughter could come out and help her. However, she saw that Rong Yue’s face was also pale and she even lowered her head when she looked at her.
Mother Rong’s heart turned cold.
Her figure swayed and she almost fell onto the ground. But at this moment, Rong Rong supported her by her arm.
Rong Rong looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Little Jing, I apologize for what my mother said to you earlier.”
Mother Rong stared blankly at Rong Rong.
Rong Rong was also her daughter, so how could she not feel pain by her words?
