Chapter 49: Hidden Identity?

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Yun Zhengyang’s words made everyone dumbfounded.

Madam Yun and Shen Qianhui seemed perplexed.

Even Shen Ruojing raised her brows and looked at Jing Zhen.

Could her father be some kind of important figure?

As Shen Ruojing was thinking this, Jing Zhen asked, looking puzzled, “This is my house. Where would I be if not here?”

Yun Zhengyang stared at Jing Zhen’s face. The latter’s peach blossom eyes were filled with an innocent gaze, and he was also sizing Yun Zhengyang up. “Who are you? Why did you say that you’re my wife’s cousin? What cousin?”

This frivolous tone, this silly expression…

Yun Zhengyang retracted his gaze and sighed quietly. “I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”

Jing Zhen: “?”

He then flew into a rage. “Hey, what are you talking about? You better explain things clearly! My face is so unique, so how could you have mistaken me for someone else? Moreover, who can be more handsome than I am?!”

The contempt in Yun Zhengyang’s gaze became even stronger. He looked at Shen Qianhui and changed the topic. “The Shen Family misappropriated the money Aunt left for you and also changed the legal owner of the company without you knowing. These acts are considered financial crimes. The Shen Family’s business will be returned to you. As for Yun Xiu, how are you planning on dealing with her?”

Shen Ruotong instantly clutched Matriarch Shen’s clothes tightly. “What financial crime? The Shen Family’s business belongs to us! How is it hers?! I understand now. Shen Ruojing, are you using Mr. Chu to oppress us because you’ve given birth to his children?”

Matriarch Shen looked at Shen Qianhui. “How are you going to deal with me?”

Shen Qianhui stared at her “adoptive mother”.

Since young, her adoptive mother couldn’t be considered to have treated her well, but she hadn’t treated her shabbily either. Matriarch Shen was always scolding her, but when Shen Qianhui saw that other mothers were also impatient toward their children, she thought that such behavior was normal.

It was until Shen Qianhui’s two younger brothers were born that she realized that her adoptive mother never scolded them.

Back then, Shen Qianhui understood that she was different from her two younger brothers. She was an adopted child, so she should do more for the family.

Therefore, from a young age, she was very diligent in doing household chores. No matter what good food there was in the family, she’d take the initiative to give them to her younger brothers. She also helped to teach her younger brothers in their schoolwork.

Shen Qianhui had always thought that she was of a lower status than her two brothers. Matriarch Shen also kept on reminding her all the time that she was her adoptive mother, and told Shen Qianhui to not forget about the favor the Shen Family had given to her.

But now she understood that everything was the other way around!

She had never owed Matriarch Shen anything!

Shen Qianhui clenched her fists. “Just let the law deal with them accordingly…”

“Alright.”

Yun Zhengyang gestured to his assistant with a glance, and the latter immediately made the necessary arrangements. It wasn’t long before the police came and took the cursing Matriarch Shen away.

After the assistant returned from making a phone call, he said, “The Yun Family’s legal team will be taking the plane tonight to come here. We’ll be able to file a legal lawsuit against her tomorrow. I’ve just spoken to the legal team over the phone. They said that the involved money is too big and Matriarch Shen can be sentenced to imprisonment for ten years or more. The good thing is the Shen Manor and money can be reclaimed. Madam Shen, how would you like to deal with those?”

Shen Qianhui lowered her head.

She was already 48 years old, but only now did she know her true identity, that she didn’t have to lower her head to others. But weren’t all these too late?

As Shen Qianhui was thinking about these things, Jing Zhen hooked his arms around her. “Honey, we’re now rich, right? I can afford to pay the penalty for terminating my contract! Are you able to invest in a film for me now?”

Shen Qianhui was stunned.

Maybe it wasn’t too late. After all, her husband’s wish was to become an international star. Since that was the case, she had to help him achieve his goal no matter what.

Shen Qianhui lowered her head. “Alright.”

Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun saw that Shen Qianhui’s level of interest wasn’t high and felt a little awkward. After all, they weren’t on close terms, and Shen Qianhui didn’t have a sense of belonging to the Yun Family. Therefore, Yun Zhengyang then said that they were going to take their leave.

Shen Ruojing watched as the two of them headed out. After some thought, she followed behind them and rode on her motorbike to the Chu Manor to pick Chu Yu up.

After Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun returned to the Chu Manor, Matriarch Chu came out to welcome them personally. She held Madam Yun’s hands and said, “I really didn’t expect that our future in-laws turned out to be Aunt Yun’s daughter!”

Madam Yun took a few looks at her. “You’ve expected this long ago, right?”

She suddenly realized that when Chu Tianye had come downstairs and had been about to mention Matriarch Shen’s name, he had been interrupted by Matriarch Chu. Thereafter, the butler mentioned the Shen Family’s matter and when Madam Yun wanted to watch the show, Matriarch Chu interfered again.

The Shen Family was going to become the Chu Family’s in-laws, so Madam Yun didn’t believe that this sister of hers hadn’t tried to find out about their family!

Matriarch Chu’s gaze flickered and she said, “That’s right. When you brought this matter up, I already guessed that it’s their family.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me that earlier?!” Madam Yun pretended to be angry.

However, Matriarch Chu didn’t seem to feel guilty at all. “The Yun Family must have known long ago that Aunt Yun has a daughter outside, right? No one came to look for her over so many years, but you guys suddenly came. Moreover, you didn’t even tell me what’s the reason you’re looking for her, so why should I tell you who she is?”

Madam Yun: “…”

Matriarch Chu straightened her back and said, “Your husband isn’t a philanthropist. Are you looking for her to have a share of the family assets? Moreover, even though you guys seemed to have helped her today, you didn’t make it clear to the public that she’s the Yun Family’s young miss… So, are you still planning to hide your motive on why you’re looking for her?”

Madam Yun lowered her head, looking dejected.

Matriarch Chu said, “Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t… But if you guys are planning to do anything bad to her, I’ll stand up for my in-laws!”

Upstairs.

Shen Ruojing had ridden her motorbike with great speed and arrived faster than the Yun Family did. Right now, she was waiting for Chu Yu to pack his usual homework so that he could bring them back to work on them.

It was very rare that Chu Xiaomeng abandoned her books and came to send her off.

Shen Ruojing took Chu Yu’s hand and had just stepped out when she saw Lu Cheng coming out from Chu Cichen’s study sheepishly. He had clearly been given a scolding again.

When Lu Cheng saw them, he immediately said enviously, “I suddenly understand why you’re so free every day. One should enjoy life when they are young, unlike me, being overwhelmed with work every day, working like a dog…”

Recently, in order to find Prof. Z, he had almost combed through the entire Sea City. His legs had become slimmer as a result of this!

Shen Ruojing paid him no heed.

However, Chu Xiaomeng said softly, “But Uncle, dogs aren’t tired at all~”

Lu Cheng: “??”

This was a blow to his heart!!

This girl was really good at driving people crazy from anger.

His lips twitched and he said, “Little Meng, you’re so good at talking that you shouldn’t talk next time.”

Chu Xiaomeng: “… Okay.”

Shen Ruojing then brought Chu Yu downstairs and happened to see Yun Zhengyang, Madam Yun, and Matriarch Chu.

“Mr. Yun, may I ask a question?”

Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke out, calling Yun Zhengyang.

Yun Zhengyang turned and looked at her. “You should call me uncle…. What do you want to ask?”

He thought that Shen Ruojing was going to ask why they had come looking for Shen Qianhui after so many years had passed.

However, he didn’t expect Shen Ruojing to lower her gaze calmly and asked, “May I ask who you mistook my father for today?”
