Chapter 398 - 398 Her Identity!



Shen Jiayu was stunned. The tone of her voice instantly elevated and became shrill.

Shen Yuansong paused slightly as though he had just discovered her now. After that, he frowned. “What’s the matter?’

Shen Jiayi pointed at the main table. “Grandpa, this table is the main table.”

!!

Main table?

Shen Yuansong didn’t care about these things. He was just a little excited after seeing Shen Ruojing, so he walked in her direction. Even so, Shen Ruojing was the Chu Family’s future matriarch, yet the location she was seated in was not the main seat.

Upon thinking of this, Shen Yuansong’s brows started furrowing.

He had initially thought that it was enough if the Shen Family helped taking care of the Chu Family’s business.

But he was simply too naive.

He pursed his lips and stared unhappily at Chu Cichen.

Now that the Chu Family’s status was rising, did Chu Cichen begin to despise his granddaughter’s background?!

Just when he was thinking about this, Chu Cichen’s countenance also changed. The man’s expression turned cold as he unhappily looked at the butler. “What’s going on?”

The butler was frowning. “The two sirs and young miss came suddenly and we didn’t manage to make prior arrangements…”

“But even so, you cannot let the family members of the host sit at the second table!” Before Shen Yuansong and Chu Cichen could speak, Bai Wei and Matriarch Bai were already infuriated.

Matriarch Bai took a step forward and bypassed Shen Yuansong. She then stood beside Bai Shanshan and held her arm. “Shanshan, stand up. Let’s go to the main table with grandma. The daughters of our Bai Family had no precedence in sitting at the second table even if they were married out!”

Bai Wei also frowned unhappily as he looked at Chu Cichen. “Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this? You have no regard for S… for my Bai Family?”

Shen Ruojing was the big shot’s daughter, yet she was arranged to be seated at the second table? This was simply ridiculous!

Even the four families had to respectfully address her as ‘Young Miss!’

The butler at the side hurriedly spoke, “I did ask Miss Bai to go to the main table earlier, but she refused to…Miss Bai, I think it’s better for you to go there.”

Bai Shanshan spoke, “My eldest sister-in-law is here. I cannot do so.”

After her words rang out, Bai Wei immediately spoke, “In that case, get your sis-in-law to go to the main table too!”

If Shen Ruojing sat at the second table, Bai Wei wouldn’t dare to sit at the main table. Although the big shot didn’t flaunt his identity in public, Bai Wei knew what was appropriate and what was not!

As he said this, Shen Jiayi immediately spoke out in hypocrisy, “Grandpa Bai, there are not enough seats at the main table. We can’t possibly all squeeze at the main table, right?”

A table was usually only for ten seats.

The main table already had an additional chair placed there. If Bai Shanshan and Shen Ruojing went there now, they would have to add even more chairs. It would simply be too squeezy!

Doing so would make the Chu Family’s banquet look like a joke.

Everyone pursed their lips respectively.

Shen Yuansong looked at Shen Chong and Shen Zhong as his gaze sank. “The three of you came here uninvited. Don’t you understand the rule of being guests? All of you are to move to the second table now!”

Hearing this, Shen Zhong and Shen Chong immediately revealed looks of embarrassment and anger on their faces.

Originally, when Shen Yuansong came over, they already stood up. However, now that they heard these words, they only felt a feeling of shame.

After their management positions were removed, the two of them lost a lot of face.

So, if they sat at the second table now…how would they still be able to mingle around with their peers in the future?

Hence, the two of them exchanged a glance, and Shen Zhong replied, “Uncle, we didn’t come uninvited. The Chu Family sent us the invitations personally. Is this how the Chu Family is going to treat their guests?”

Chu Cichen’s gaze sank. He looked at the butler and asked, “What’s going on?’

The butler immediately replied in a low voice, “They did have the invitations when they arrived.”

Their interactions attracted the attention of the Shen Brothers.

Shen Chong sneered. “CEO Chu, you are the one who personally gave the invitations to Jiayi, but you are going to lie now? Was the Chu Family inviting us for the sake of pranking us?”

After he finished speaking, Chu Cichen furrowed his brows and looked at Shen Jiayi. “I personally gave you the invitations?”

Shen Jiayi’s eyes gleamed as she looked at him. She then lifted her chin slightly before intentionally looking at Shen Ruojing. “Correct. Bro Chu is the one who personally gave them to me, and you even thanked the Shen Family for taking good care of the Chu Family’s businesses…”

After saying that, she sneered. “I’m not like someone who has a weak matrimonial background that cannot provide any assistance to the Chu Family!”

Her voice was very loud and arrogant.

This immediately caused everyone in the surroundings to break out into a discussion.

“My heavens, what did Miss Shen mean? Could it be that she and CEO Chu have already…that?”

“Seeing how Miss Shen’s eyes are constantly fixed on CEO Chu and how CEO Chu is rich and handsome, I remember that Old Master Shen did have plans to recruit him as a son-in-law for his grandniece!”

“Right now, the Chu Corporation’s business is improving daily, but if they want to become the fifth great family of the capital, they still lack a marriage alliance with one of the four families. If Miss Shen really gets together with CEO Chu, his weakness of having a wife with no matrimonial background would be resolved.”

“But Madam Shen is a little pitiful…she gave birth to three kids for him and has always been staying in the Chu Manor. I thought they were already married. But in the end, they aren’t officially married yet. Does that mean she won’t be able to become the Chu Family’s matriarch?”

“…No one can say for sure.”

“…”

As everyone was discussing, Shen Ruojing’s gaze sank slightly as she subconsciously looked at Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen was frowning and explained with no hesitation, “I didn’t do such a thing.”

Shen Jiayi immediately shouted, “Bro Chu, what do you mean by that?”

Chu Cichen heavily replied, “I didn’t send the invitations to you, and I didn’t meet you in private. Miss Shen, please don’t sully my innocence or my fiancee would be unhappy.”

Shen Jiayi bit her lips. “YOU!”

She hadn’t expected that Chu Cichen would choose not to give the Shen Family face and say such words in public to smack her face! Wasn’t he afraid of offending the Shen Family?!

...

Shen Jiayi involuntarily glanced at the surroundings and saw that those people, who were initially glancing at Shen Ruojing with pity, were all looking at her now. She could even faintly hear words such as ‘so she’s the one who is clinging to him’ and ‘shameless’.

Now, Shen Jiayi was so angry that she was clenching her fists tightly, feeling like a clown.

However, Shen Yuansong actually gave an order right now. “Why are you still in a daze? No matter if there’s a problem with the invitations or not, the three of you are to immediately go to the second table!”

Shen Zhong and Shen Chong both shared a glance. The two of them didn’t move and turned to look at Shen Jiayi.

As expected, Shen Jiayi was badly enraged. She angrily sat down and shouted agitatedly, “Grandpa, I’ve always been seated at the main table no matter which banquet I attended. You actually want me to give up my seat for this woman right now? Who the hell does she think she is? She has not married CEO Chu yet, so she cannot be considered a woman of the Chu Family. Based on family backgrounds, I’m vastly superior to her! She is just a country bumpkin that has no status or power, so why should I give my seat up to her?!”

“Who said that she doesn’t have a background?” Shen Yuansong grew angry.

His biological granddaughter was actually despised by a granddaughter from a mere branch family?!
