The Queen’s words made the four men feel relieved.

Thank you readers!

If they stood here the entire afternoon, they would become the laughingstock of the capital city.

Thereafter, the four cars that were clustered around the Queen’s Rolls-Royce finally arrived at the Shen Manor.

Upon arriving, the four men quickly got out of their cars and escorted the Queen to the entrance.

Their actions immediately caught the attention of everyone in the living room.

Shen Ruojing heard that the Queen had arrived, so she quickly got up and walked toward the entrance.

She then saw that Jing Zhen and Chu Cichen were being surrounded by people, hence, she coughed before walking out of the door.

Everyone stood up respectfully, forming two rows without being arranged, and the Queen walked in under the escort of the four family heads.

When the Queen’s sharp eyes swept across the faces of the people in the room, she sneered. After that, her footsteps paused and she looked in one direction.

Shen Ruojing’s heart skipped a beat. If she remembered correctly, it was her father, Jing Zhen, who was in that direction.

She turned her head to look and saw Jing Zhen and Chu Cichen standing there. Chu Cichen nodded politely to the Queen when she looked at him, while Jing Zhen lagged behind him and purposely concealed his figure behind Chu Cichen.

He kept his head down, looking like he was overwhelmed by the grand occasion.

Shen Ruojing twitched her mouth. If she hadn’t known her father was there, she wouldn’t have noticed him with a quick glance.

The Queen didn’t see Jing Zhen, but when she saw Chu Cichen, she paused again. This person gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn’t remember where she had met him before.

She then withdrew her gaze from Chu Cichen and walked forward.

If the Queen was sitting in the living room, the people in the entire banquet hall would not be at ease. Therefore, Shen Yuansong cleverly said, “Your Majesty, to avoid being disturbed by others, why don’t the four of us accompany you to the lounge for a while?”

The Queen nodded. She was too lazy to deal with the women here.

A moment later, she was escorted to the lounge. When the Queen entered the lounge, Shen Ruojing clearly felt everyone in the living room sigh with relief.

Even Jing Zhen patted his chest and said, “That was scary. I’ve played the role of an emperor before, but I never thought that the royals could be so terrifying!”

His appearance made a group of people laugh.

Shen Ruojing also raised the corners of her mouth, but before she could say anything, a sharp voice came from beside her. “He really is a small-time celebrity from the bottom of the list. He can’t even stand on the stage, but you guys let him come out and entertain the guests. Isn’t he afraid of embarrassing himself?”

Shen Ruojing turned her head and saw that Shen Jiayi had somehow arrived and was now standing next to her, staring at her with a cold gaze.

Shen Ruojing frowned.

They didn’t send an invitation to the second branch, but everyone’s attention was probably focused on the Queen just now, so they didn’t notice when she sneaked in.

Shen Ruojing didn’t want to cause any trouble, so she simply ignored her.

But just as she was about to turn around and leave, Shen Jiayi spoke up again, “Where do you think you’re going? If I were you, I would feel embarrassed to have a father like this. Hurry up and let him go upstairs, don’t embarrass yourself here!”

Shen Jiayi acted like a high and mighty young lady.

Shen Ruojing sneered. “I don’t feel embarrassed, but if you do, you can leave. What are you doing here at our house? It doesn’t seem like we welcome you, does it?”

Shen Jiayi immediately sneered. “What are you pretending to be noble here for? Do you really think your bloodline is purer than ours? At least, my parents are from the four great families in the capital! But what about you? Your mother grew up in the countryside, and your father is so disgraceful that he can’t even show his face! What do you have to be arrogant about?”

Shen Ruojing found Shen Jiayi annoying, so she simply said to the butler, “Get her out of here.”

Shen Jiayi wanted to say something, but Shen Ruojing gave her a cold look, which scared her into silence.

A security guard then stepped forward and looked at Shen Jiayi.

Shen Jiayi clenched her fists. “Shen Ruojing, I came here today to give you face. Don’t go too far!”

“Your brother also came last time, apparently to give me face, but isn’t he still in the police station now? I don’t need you to give me any face.”

Shen Ruojing waved her hand, and the security guard took Shen Jiayi out.

With the quietness restored, Shen Ruojing looked back at Jing Zhen, but her father had disappeared at some point. Only Chu Cichen was still there, talking softly to the people around him.

Shen Ruojing then looked at Chu Cichen for a while.

He was tall and had a cold demeanor.

Obviously, he wasn’t interested in this kind of scene, but he patiently entertained the guests because they were here to celebrate Shen Ruojing’s birthday, and he wanted her to be happy.

Shen Ruojing looked away as a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She then turned around and looked into the lounge.

At this moment, Matriarch Bai walked up to her and seemed to have sensed her worry. She sighed. “The four great families seem to be joining forces, but their hearts are not in it. ‘

Shen Ruojing immediately asked, “Why?’

Shen Yuansong hadn’t told her some things in order to avoid worrying her.

Matriarch Bai said, “The three ancient families have begun to suppress the economic system of the four great families in China. Since the Shen family is from the pharmaceutical industry, they are targeting them. They want to use some drug formulas that are not available in China to threaten the Shen family.

But it’s not too significant for the Shen family because they have you, Prof. Z.”

Since Shen Ruojing’s identity as Professor Z was already exposed, she gave her small research projects and formulas for special drugs to the Shen family. This resulted in only a little impact when the Queen began to sanction the Shen family’s pharmaceutical business.

Matriarch Bai continued, “However, the industries of the other three families have been affected more or less.”

Although China’s commercial development was rapid, in several aspects, it was still lagging behind some developed countries.

The three ancient families used this to hold the other three great families of China by their necks, causing them to lose many orders in just two days.

For example, the Xu family was big in the manufacturing business, but some of the raw materials couldn’t be produced domestically, and their imports had been blocked. This caused the Xu family to lose many orders.

Shen Ruojing looked at Matriarch Bai.

The latter sighed and said, “1 don’t know how long we can hold on.”

Shen Ruojing’s heart sank after hearing Matriarch Bai’s words. She knew that she was the one who caused this scene.

In the resting room, Shen Yuansong and the others remained silent. In the midst of the silence, the Queen suddenly asked, “l heard that your daughter came back with her husband?”

Shen Yuansong immediately responded, “Yes, my daughter is pregnant again, and her health is not very good. So, I will send someone to call my son-in-law to meet you.”

After saying that, Shen Yuansong got his butler to summon Jing Zhen as he said with a smile, “My son-in-law is a celebrity with excellent acting skills. He rarely meets with everyone. Later, I will introduce him to you. If you meet him in the future, please give him some face and take care of him.”

Although Shen Yuansong despised Jing Zhen, it was apparent that he and Shen Qianhui could not divorce.

Hence, Shen Yuansong wanted Jing Zhen to meet more people. At the very least, Shen Yuansong’s prestige could still act as a force that was backing Jing Zhen..
