Jing Zhen hesitated for a moment. “Did you mention where I am?”

Thank you readers!

Old Master Bai immediately replied, “No, I didn’t.”

“That’s good,” Jing Zhen said casually, “Anyway, my words don’t count. It doesn’t matter.”

Old Master Bai: “??”

(As a member of the royal family, is this really okay?!)

Old Master Bai then pursed his lips and said, “Okay, as long as you’re happy.”

After hanging up the phone, Jing Zhen looked at the Shen family’s estate outside the window. The night was dark, and the Shen family’s estate was particularly solemn under the decoration of the streetlights.

Even if he didn’t intervene, the four great families would not be suppressed by the Queen, right?

At most, she would bring them some trouble, but Jing Zhen believed that Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen could handle it.

He turned back and looked at his sleeping wife, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

–

Shen Ruojing slept well that night.

The next morning, when she woke up and came down, she saw Chu Cichen and Shen Yuansong looking at her.

Shen Ruojing hesitated and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?”

Chu Cichen smiled and said, “No, it’s just that your birthday is coming soon.”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She had never really celebrated her birthday before. When she was in the Shen family in Sea City, the family leader despised her for not studying well and bringing shame to the family, so she didn’t allow Shen Ruojing to celebrate her birthday.

Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen would make her a longevity noodle dish every year on her birthday, but that was all.

Therefore, she didn’t have much concept of birthdays or holidays.

She didn’t think much of it and just said, “Oh.” before sitting down to eat.

But as soon as she took a bite of the fried dough, she heard Shen Yuansong saying, “I’m planning to hold a birthday banquet for you this year.”

“...” Shen Ruojing was taken aback. Shen then looked at him and said, “Grandfather, that’s not necessary.”

Before Shen Yuansong could speak, Chu Cichen said, “Grandfather is just using your birthday as an excuse to invite the four great families to the Shen family to discuss things. The Queen is probably going to make a move against the four great families soon.”

Shen Yuansong immediately looked at Chu Cichen.

He was about to say that he didn’t mean it like that, but before he could speak, Shen Ruojing said, “Oh, I see...then it’s okay.”

Shen Yuansong thus swallowed the words he was about to say while giving a thumbs-up to Chu Cichen in his heart.

Indeed, Chu Cichen understood Jingjing better. Shen Ruojing’s birthday was actually in two days. So, as soon as the invitations were sent out for the birthday banquet, the entire Shen family began preparing for the occasion.

Shen Ruojing was bored and just wandering in the Shen Manor when she overheard some servants gossiping.

“Old Master is holding this birthday banquet for the little miss, but there’s another purpose behind it.”

Another servant asked, “What purpose?”

“The little miss’s father is a minor celebrity with no real power, so our Old Master is showing her extra attention to prove that the future of the Shen family belongs to her.”

The other servant suddenly realized. “So that’s the case!”

They then continued, “But the young master is really lucky as he was able to marry into the main Shen family. The second branch’s Miss Shen Jiayi and Shen Wanying curse her every day, saying her father’s lowly status makes her unworthy.”

“They’re just jealous of the little miss as now that she’s back, they’re no longer the legitimate heirs. Their status has plummeted...”

“But bloodlines are inherited and smart children come from smart parents. As our family has a son-in-law who is a small-time actor, it really lowers the quality of the little miss’s genes. Besides, the son-in-law from a small family cannot uphold the family’s reputation.”

The two continued their discussion as they walked away.

Shen Ruojing was left standing there, her face slightly pale.

Even she could hear such comments just by wandering around.

Hence, her father, Jing Zhen, must have heard much more. He was a brilliant scientist, yet people were saying such things about him.

Shen Ruojing sighed quietly. She had lost interest in her walk and went back to her room.

Shen Yuansong had been dealing with the four great families’ matters in the capital. And as expected, the Queen caused trouble again. She had contacted the other two ancient families, and the three of them teamed up to put pressure on the four great families in China.

Hence, all this time, Shen Yuansong was busy dealing with their business matters.

The four major families were all feeling heavy-hearted and burdened with great pressure.

Shen Ruojing wasn’t good at this kind of thing, so she didn’t go to help.

As she went upstairs, she heard Chu Tianye, Chu Yu, and Chu Xiaomeng chatting.

Chu Xiaomeng was hanging her head and feeling unhappy. “They all say Grandpa married above his station. But how did he marry above his station? Grandpa is so handsome! ”

Chu Yu also had a black face. ‘Those people are just too much!’

Chu Tianye looked at Chu Xiaomeng and Chu Yu and then said, “But Grandpa has no money...”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two immediately looked at him. “Are you looking down on Grandpa?”

Chu Tianye immediately waved his hand. “No, no...”

He then turned his eyes to Chu Yu and said, ‘My sister and I have lived with Grandpa since we were little. We didn’t have any money back then, so we’re used to it. It’s you, Chu Yu. You don’t think that Grandpa has no money, do you?’

Chu Yu replied immediately, “Of course not!’

“Then you can change your surname to Jing, follow Grandpa’s surname, and inherit his estate in the future!”

Chu Yu was confused. “Huh?”

Chu Tianye said triumphantly, “See, you do look down on Grandpa!”

The Shen family was his now, and he had to help his sister keep the inheritance from the Chu Family. Since that was the case, Chu Tianye naturally had to take the poorest Grandpa’s family inheritance and give it to Chu Yu!

Who asked this spoiled brat to always compete with him for Mommy’s favor!? Chu Yu was like Mommy’s little simp, always wanting to shine brighter than him!

Chu Yu shook his head. “1 don’t have any problem with grandpa’s surname.” “If that’s the case, then change your surname!” urged Chu Tianye.

After thinking for a while, Chu Yu came up with an idea. “Jing Yu sounds good.”

Chu Tianye immediately nodded and said, “That’s settled then. In the future, I will inherit the Shen family and be surnamed Shen! My sister will inherit the Chu family and keep her surname Chu. And you, Jing Yu, will inherit the Jing family!’

Chu Yu nodded indifferently.

Having grown up in a wealthy family since childhood, Chu Yu was not sensitive to money.

Chu Tianye smiled proudly.

He was indeed the richest person in the family!!

At the entrance, Shen Ruojing shook her head and ignored the three kids.

Time flew by, and soon it was Shen Ruojing’s birthday banquet.

When the Queen heard that all the important people in the capital were going to Shen Manor, she smiled.

She told her butler, “Since it’s the birthday of the Shen family’s young lady, let’s go as guests and bring her a big gift! I hope she likes it.”

The Queen had prepared a surprise for Shen Ruojing, yet she would never expect that she would run into that ‘troublemaker’, Jing Zhen, at the birthday banquet..
