530 The Boss Chu Who Got Blamed!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Before the word “sorry” was spoken, they heard the next sentence from Jing Zhen.
“I agree with you! The son-in-law of the Shen family is indeed incapable and just a pretty boy, so…,” Jing Zhen’s gaze suddenly shifted to the second table. “Chu Cichen, what do you have to offer to match up with our Jingjing?”
Suddenly, a pot fell from the sky onto Chu Cichen’s lap, leaving him puzzled. Even Shen Yuansong, who had just found out about Jing Zhen’s identity, did not expect him to suddenly shift their attention to Chu Cichen.
Shen Yuansong then stared blankly at Jing Zhen who blinked at him. He was clearly trying to help. After all, Shen Ruojing was a member of the Shen family, and Chu Cichen was also a son-in-law of the Shen family.
Shen Yuansong suddenly laughed. The panic he had just felt was completely gone.
Shen Ruojing had been about to help Shen Yuansong say a few words to smooth things over, but she did not expect Jing Zhen to just shift the topic to Chu Cichen.
She then turned to look at Chu Cichen who stiffened for a moment. When he saw everyone looking at him, he put down his chopsticks and stood up.
As a member of the World High IQ Club, this was his first time being called stupid by someone.
He smiled bitterly and remained silent before sitting back down. His eyes, however, looked like he felt slightly wronged as he glanced at Shen Ruojing.
Chu Cichen knew that Jing Zhen did not like him as a son-in-law because his beloved daughter had been taken away. Jing Zhen seemed to be clearing the way for Shen Yuansong, but in reality, he was targeting Chu Cichen.
However, being scolded by Jing Zhen a few times made Shen Ruojing feel sorry for Chu Cichen.
What was this all about?!
After the meal, the Queen Dowager looked at Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui and said, “The two of you will stay at the villa halfway up the mountain with me.”
Jing Zhen narrowed his eyes, knowing that he could not refuse. After he voluntarily revealed his identity, the Shen family became his weakness. If he did not comply, the Queen Dowager would definitely target the Shen family!
Now, it was destined that he would have to return home and inherit the throne.
He looked apologetically at Shen Qianhui. However, Shen Qianhui only held his hand and said, “I have told you before, wherever you are, I will be with you. As long as you are with me, everywhere is my home.”
Jing Zhen took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but he ultimately remained silent. He decided not to tell Shen Qianhui about his worries for now. Since he had decided to go back home, he would take it one step at a time. However, Shen Ruojing stayed at the Shen Manor. When Jing Zhen invited her to live at the mountain villa with him, she coolly replied, “I will stay here and keep my husband company for the next few days before we leave for country’ A.
After all, he is so incompetent. What if he can’t measure up to me?”
Jing Zhen couldn’t help but glance at Chu Cichen who was following Shen Ruojing obediently. Seeing this, he felt a lump in his throat. This little pretty boy only knew how to act weak and feeble!
Jing Zhen then snorted and left with Shen Qianhui and the others. After they left, the others also began to leave one after another.
At this moment, in a foreign-style house in the capital city.
The entire second branch of the Shen family lived here. Although it was a 200-square-meter apartment, Shen Thong and Shen Chong were both dissatisfied with it because they used to live in the Shen Manor.
At this moment, the two of them sat there with gloomy faces, waiting quietly for news from outside.
Shen Ruojing’s birthday and the news of the Queen going to the Shen family to block the way had spread throughout the major aristocratic families in the capital city, and everyone was paying attention to this matter.
Shen Zhong couldn’t help but scoff. “She is just a little girl, and yet our uncle values her so much that he intends to hand over the Shen family to her? Doesn’t he fear that the burden will be too heavy and crush her?”
Shen Chong nodded. ‘The main point is that the Shen family didn’t send us an invitation. Are they really cutting off ties with us, the second branch?”
Shen Zhong spoke up, “Ifwe have to cut ties, then let’s do it. Do you think that the Shen family today is the same as the Shen family of the past? After the Queen leaves, she will surely take away two-thirds of the Shen family’s assets and then suppress the Shen family in various ways. The Shen family is no match for the Royal Family of Country A! It would be advantageous for us to make a timely cut.”
Shen Chong sneered. “You’re right. I want to see how arrogant the Shen family would be in a few days. When we leave the Shen family, we’ll at least take what belongs to us with us.”
As they were speaking, the person who was in charge of gathering information came ln.
Shen Zhong smiled and asked, “Tell us, what’s the situation now? Is the Shen family about to go bankrupt?”
