431 Invitation
After the text was sent, Shen Ruojing lifted her head and saw Chu Cichen staring at her with a bright gaze. “Jingjing, after acknowledging the Shen Family, you wouldn’t despise my background for being inferior, right?”
Shen Ruojing could sense Chu Cichen’s worry ever since Song Chen appeared.
Hence, she intentionally furrowed her brows for a few moments before she smiled and looked at him. “Your words have reminded me. I heard that the people from the four great families always marry each other. Moreover, the Shen Family is the most impressive of them. As for me, the eldest young miss, I probably won’t be despised even if I have given birth to three children, right?”
Chu Cichen. “?”
Shen Ruojing continued. “Hmm, let me think about who the four families are. The Rongs, the Bais, the Xus and the Shens? I’ll get my grandpa to help me look around to see if there’s anyone of suitable age.”
Chu Cichen knew she was joking, so he played along. “In that case, do you think I’m suitable?”
Shen Ruojing touched her chin and her peach blossom eyes surveyed him. “Your background is a little weak, but you do have a strong point – you are the father of my three children, so I have to give you some face no matter what.”
“…” Chu Cichen gritted his teeth in mock anger. He suddenly took a step forward and got close to her. “Just some face?”
Shen Ruojing sighed. “My maternal grandfather has no son, and my mother has no son either. So, he will definitely want my husband to marry into the Shen Family. Can you accept that?”
Chu Cichen didn’t hesitate. “I can.”
“You can’t!”
No one knew when Chu Qianshu appeared at the entrance. At this moment, she was glaring at Chu Cichen in anger. “Elder bro, you have to be the Chu Family’s successor. How can you marry into another family?”
After that, she looked at Shen Ruojing as her eyes gleamed. “Sis-in-law, my brother isn’t suitable for you. You should look for a scientist instead. You must not accept a businessman like him!”
Chu Cichen. “…”
What was going on with people in his family? It was one thing that his cousin didn’t assist him, but she was actually making trouble too?
His face turned dark as he walked to the entrance.
Chu Qianshu bypassed him and prepared to enter the room. “Elder brother, are you going out? I just so coincidentally have something to consult sis-in-law on…ahhh~elder brother, what are you doing?”
Before she could finish her words, she was dragged away by her collar by Chu Cichen as he strode out. “Your sis-in-law is already tired and she wants to sleep.”
Chu Qianshu. “…It is still early, only 11 p.m. This is the time when the brains of us scientists are the most active!”
However, Chu Cichen directly tossed her outside the room.
Chu Qianshu leaned against the door. “Let me say one last thing. Sis-in-law, many scientists added you via the WeChat contact you gave at the award ceremony. Can you accept a few out of politeness?…Ahh~~!”
Bang!
The door was then slammed shut with no hesitation.
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Some time after Chu Cichen dragged Chu Qianshu out, Shen Ruojing returned to her own bedroom.
When she thought of how Shen Yuansong was going to hand the scientific association to her, she felt that her ideal dream of retirement was getting further and further away…she then helplessly logged in her Professor Z’s WeChat account.
Since she wanted to fight for the president’s seat, it was impossible for her not to have any interactions with these people.
She had originally wanted to casually accept a few people, but after she logged in, Shen Ruojing discovered that her phone actually froze for one second!
One must know that her phone had been modified by her before and its specs were equivalent to a small computer. She could even use it to hack into systems. So, how would it freeze?
After that, she understood…
The number of friend requests kept increasing at a crazy speed that was visible to the naked eye. It soon reached over 99 people, and it was still refreshing. In the end, there were actually 364 people who added her.
Shen Ruojing. “…”
There were only a total of 300 people who participated in the scientific award ceremony that day, right?
Her lips twitched and she chose to accept all without looking at their introductory messages.
After doing so, the incoming texts rapidly flooded her inbox.
The majority of the texts were similar to this: [Hi Prof. Z, I’m blahblahblah. I’m very happy that you accepted my request. Let’s interact more in the future to exchange knowledge.]
Shen Ruojing. “!!”
If she knew about this, she wouldn’t have accepted the requests.
But if she didn’t reply now, it would seem too cold and arrogant of her. She drew in a deep breath and wrote a sentence before copying it.
As long as the other party’s message contained the word ‘hi’, she would paste the sentence: [It’s my honor to know you. Let’s interact more in the future.]
After handling all these, she lay down to sleep. However, she didn’t know her casual sentences brought great joy to others.
–
The next day, in the Rong Manor.
When Rong Rong woke up, she heard the chattering voices of others in the house.
After she wore her clothes and went down, she saw Mother Rong and Rong Yue sitting there happily eating breakfast. Father Rong also had a peaceful look on his face, and the family of three seemed perfectly happy together. She seemed like an outsider standing upstairs.
She then lowered her eyes. After she went down, Mother Rong immediately coughed when she saw her and spoke, “Some people refused to grab onto opportunities, but my Rong Yue is different. If there’s no opportunity, she will create one and go for it! You really managed to get acquainted with Miss Shen, well done!”
Rong Yue laughed in a low-profile manner. “Mother, we can’t be considered acquaintances yet. We merely exchanged texts on WeChat.”
Mother Rong immediately took her phone.
Rong Yue’s messages could be seen. [Hi Miss Shen, I’m very happy to know you. I’m Rong Yue from the second house of the Rong Family. I wonder if we can be friends?]
Miss Shen’s reply was: [It’s my honor to know you. Let’s interact more in the future.]
Mother Rong’s gaze was filled with pride when she looked at Rong Yue. “Miss Shen is so nice and said that it’s her honor to know you. It seems that she has a very high level of regard for you! Yue`er, she must have heard of your name in the capital and know that you are very impressive. You have to grab hold of this opportunity! Don’t act like someone who pretends to be elegant and noble but has no such capabilities!”
Rong Rong didn’t say anything.
At this moment, the butler suddenly entered. “Sir, Madam, the Shen Family sent an invitation. There will be a banquet two days later, and the person sending the invitation also stated that the eldest young miss of the Shen Family specially instructed that the invitation has to be given to us!”
Upon hearing this, Mother Rong grew excited.
She abruptly stood up. “Open it quickly!”
She stared at Rong Yue with excitement. “Us from the second house have split from the main family. Logically speaking, no one would issue a banquet at the Shen Manor to us. It must be the eldest young miss of the Shen Family who wants to give you the invitation!”
Rong Yue laughed. “Mother, don’t say it like that. Even if they issue the invitation to me, I will still bring you and elder sister there together…”
After she said this, she saw her mother opening the invitation. But after Mother Rong saw the name of the person invited, she was dumbfounded.
