I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 373

373 Surging Favorable Impression

As Yun Yiheng was filled with reverence for Shen Ruojing, he privately addressed her as ‘cousin’ and was already used to it.

This was why he forgot to conceal it before the presence of an outsider.

Now that someone heard this, Yun Yiheng cautiously looked at Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing decided to admit it openly. “Hmm, I’m his cousin. My mother is his aunt.”

!!
Aunt?

Shen Yuansong started slightly.

He had always been paying attention to matters of the Yun Family in Ford City.

Back when his lover was the leader, many people in the Yun Family were unhappy about a female being the head as they looked down on her. It was Shen Yuansong who helped her from the shadows many times.

Because of it, he would surely remember if a female from the Yun Family married into a family with the surname ‘Shen’.

So, where did this aunt come from?

But when Shen Yuansong saw that the other party had no intentions of continuing to speak about this subject, he also felt embarrassed to probe deeper. He could only remember this in his heart and get his butler to investigate after he returned later.

He recollected his thoughts and looked at Shen Ruojing’s familiar face once more.

Her familiar peach blossom eyes caused him to suddenly recall that the big shot he had met in the past had the same eyes too. He even remembered that big shot’s lazy demeanor when they met back when he was a middle-aged man. That big shot’s striking appearance was indeed breathtaking…

It was just that Shen Ruojing’s temperament was not too similar to that big shot’s.

This woman, who always had her eyelids lowered, exuded a type of aura that bespoke a weariness for the world. However, she shouldn’t be underestimated.

Shen Yuansong suddenly felt a strange favorable impression toward her.

He then nodded to Shen Ruojing and praised, “No wonder you are Qing Dai. Your zither skills are so refined, and it seems that your musical talent has spread through the genes. The people from the Yun Family also have some talent in the field of arts.”

Yun Yiheng scratched his head. “Our family is mainly focused on the entertainment industry.”

Shen Yuansong replied, “Being good in one industry equals being good in all. It wasn’t easy for your family to become the number one in the entertainment industry.”

Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows slightly when she heard this.

Old Master Shen was polite to Chu Cichen because the Chu Family was indeed the number one influential family in Sea City. They had the qualifications to be highly regarded by him.

In addition, the Shen Family was indeed the one who had acted too overbearingly in this matter. Before this, Old Master Shen also didn’t place Chu Cichen in his eyes.

On the other hand, the Yun Family of Ford City had started to decline throughout these years along with their control of the entertainment industry. Also, the entertainment industry would always cause people to associate it with filthy and sordid things.

A true business family would definitely look down on celebrities in the entertainment industry.

So, wasn’t Old Master Shen’s attitude toward the Yun Family a little too nice and hospitable?

Shen Ruojing then began to survey Old Master Shen contemplatively…

At this moment, Shen Yuansong finally looked at Chu Cichen and said, “The patients who need the special medicine have always bought it from us. But now that you are producing it overseas, I’ll make Shen Zhong and Shen Chong permit your medicine to be sold at the Shen Family’s stores once they are imported.”

This would cause the patients to feel much less troublesome, and it would give the Chu Family’s medicine a direct link to the patients.

Old Master Shen’s heart could truly contain the world.

Since this was the case, Chu Cichen’s impression of him also improved by a few points. He respectfully spoke, “Old Sir, thanks.”

“No need to be polite.” Old Master Shen then continued, “Our development in many industries is inferior to overseas. Since that’s the case, we definitely have to boost the companies in the country if we want to enter a fast development period. Only then would there be good competition. Also, everyone should depend on their capabilities and not shortcuts or tricks.”

Chu Cichen. “I’ve benefited from your teachings.”

“Haha, I’m very happy today, so I’ll say something more. It’s good as long as you don’t find me too talkative!”

After saying that, Shen Yuansong patted Chu Cichen’s shoulder once more. “However, it isn’t a good thing if the Chu Family acts too high-profile. You should be more low-profile when doing things in the future. The four great families emphasized their prestige the most. In the future, if another incident like Shen Wanying occurred, can I trouble you to inform this old man immediately? I’ll personally discipline my juniors, and I guarantee I will not be biased.”

Chu Cichen nodded. “Sure.”

Just based on the old sir’s vision and magnanimity, Chu Cichen was willing to give face to him.

When Chu Cichen was overseas, he had to learn everything by himself when it came to doing business. And now when he was back in the country, an experienced veteran was willing to share his experience with him. This was truly rare and valuable.

Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing then invited Old Master Shen into the living room. They had tea together and chatted for a long time.

The two sides felt the same way – they hated the fact that they met each other too late.

Old Master Shen sighed with pity. Why was such a good man engaged so early? How good would it be if he could marry someone from the Shen Family and take over as the leader?!

Once Old Master Shen turned his head, he saw Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng sitting at the side accompanying them.

Shen Ruojing’s sitting posture wasn’t elegant, but good-looking people always constituted a pleasing sight no matter what they did. So, Old Master Shen couldn’t help but think again.

Such a beautiful lass actually already had three kids at her age. If she wasn’t married, how good would it be if she married his grandson?

Oh, he didn’t have a grandson.

This was too sad.

The family atmosphere was very good here. It was so good to the extent that he felt even the cleaning servants were good-looking. Even the tea he was drinking felt more fragrant.

Without realizing it, he had spent the entire afternoon here in the Chu Manor.

When the sky finally turned dark, Matriarch Chu walked down the stairs and asked if she needed to prepare more dinner. Only then did the Old Master Shen become aware of the passing of time. He swiftly stood up. “I should go.”

Chu Cichen. “Sir, do you want to stay for dinner?”

“No need.”

“Let me send you off then.”

“…” Old Master Shen suddenly felt strange as Chu Cichen wasn’t acting as politely as he thought he would. Didn’t he understand the logic of asking guests three times if they wanted to stay?

However, it wasn’t too good for him to say anything else, so he could only leave the place.

After Old Master Shen got into his car, he commanded his butler, “Do an investigation and see if the Yun Family recently has an aunt surnamed ‘Shen’.”

The butler immediately acknowledged the order. “Roger.”

At the Chu Manor.

After Chu Cichen sent Old Master Shen away, Matriarch Chu asked him, “I could tell that Old Master Shen wouldn’t have rejected if you wanted him to stay for dinner. Why didn’t you ask him again?”

Chu Cichen snuck a glance from the corner of his eyes at Shen Ruojing.

The woman had accompanied them for an entire afternoon and almost dozed off due to boredom. If she had to accompany them through dinner, how tired would she be?

Wouldn’t it be great to get the outsider to leave so they could enjoy the meal as a family?

He lowered his eyes and spoke, “Is that so? A major character like him probably has fixed timing as to when he takes his meals. Before eating, his staff members would have to check the food to see if it was poisoned. It would be too troublesome if we asked him to stay. In addition, he was only acting politely and has other stuff to handle later tonight.”

Matriarch Chu. “…So this is the case. Forget it then.”

Matriarch Chu then went to the kitchen and instructed the servants to start preparing dinner.

At this moment, Chu Cichen walked to Shen Ruojing’s side and sat down. He saw her fingers moving randomly about, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…” Shen Ruojing stared at her phone and continued, “about how Old Master Shen Yuansong’s name is written.”

Old Master Shen Yuansong’s identity was very mysterious. Although she had been searching through the internet, she wasn’t able to find anything!
