430 Acknowledgment Banquet!
Mother Rong immediately forgot about her unhappiness and stared at Rong Yue’s phone together with Rong Yue in excitement.
In the end, after they clicked open the information, they discovered that not only was there no photograph, but the information within was only Professor Z’s resume and contact method.
Rong Yue immediately sent a text to her friend to ask: [Where is Miss Shen’s photo?]
Her friend replied very quickly: [Back then, Old Master Shen gave an absolute order that no one is permitted to take photos. So, no one dared to snap a shot. Haven’t you discovered that there is no news about the eldest young miss of the Shen Family outside?]
When Rong Yue saw this, she felt very helpless. [Alright then.]
Mother Rong asked, “What should we do?”
Rong Yue smiled. “Isn’t it easy if we want to get acquainted with a person? My friend has given us the contact method of Miss Shen. I’ll try adding her on WeChat tonight.”
Mother Rong nodded immediately before she asked, “Don’t you think it’s embarrassing that I’m forcing you to meet her?”
Rong Yue shook her head. “I know you are doing it for my own good. Our family is looked down upon by those of higher status. If I can make friends with Miss Shen from the prominent Shen Family, we will surely benefit from it in the future.”
Mother Rong immediately patted her hand. “You are the one who understands me.”
The mother-and-daughter duo then returned to their room with affection.
All of this was seen from the balcony of the second floor by Rong Rong.
Her eyes showed a hint of hurt, and her lips were tinged with bitterness.
When she was in Ford City, she originally intended to find a job. However, at that time, all the employers heard that she had just been released from prison after serving 13 years for killing someone, so everyone rejected her.
She had spent her best years in prison, without a degree or work experience. Now at 28 years old, she was considered quite old and was despised by everyone.
(Only Little Jing doesn’t despise me. But Little Jing has her own life…)
Just as she was thinking about this, Rong Rong’s phone rang. She picked it up and found a WeChat message from Dr. Xu: [Rong Rong, look up at the sky.]
Rong Rong looked up unconsciously.
Today was the sixteenth of the month. The round moon could be seen high up in the sky, radiating a bright light.
Her phone rang again.
It was still a text from Doctor Xu:
[You have always been the white moonlight in my heart.]
[It was so in the past, it is the same now, and it will still be in the future. Although you were away for 13 years, you are slowly filling up my heart.]
[My moonlight, are you willing to have a date with me tomorrow afternoon at the mala tang shop near our high school?]
Rong Rong’s eyes turned slightly red.
Actually, other than Little Jing, there was still Doctor Xu in this world who cared about her.
She lowered her eyelids and hesitated for some time before finally replying with a single word. [Okay.]
At the same time, after Rong Yue returned to her room, she immediately tried adding Prof. Z as her friend through WeChat. [Hi Miss Shen, I’m Miss Rong from the second house of the Rong Family.]
The Rong Family was considered the weakest among the four great families in the capital.
The second house of the Rong Family was even more insignificant. This was why Rong Yue didn’t mention her name. She was afraid that the eldest young miss of the Shen Family who had just arrived at the capital might not have heard of her name before.
However, all these were relative.
Mother Rong and Rong Yue both felt a sense of superiority because their status was the object of envy to ordinary families in the capital.
–
Chu Manor.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen’s experience tonight could be described as very tumultuous.
They had finally figured out the truth of the matter and found the person who had impersonated Chu Cichen.
Right now, they were sitting in Chu Cichen’s study. Shen Ruojing had habitually searched this room for any surveillance devices. Finding none, she then sat across from him while feeling at ease.
Chu Cichen asked, “Do you believe everything that Song Chen said?”
Shen Ruojing, with a downward gaze, replied honestly, “I don’t know. What do you think?”
Chu Cichen sighed too and said, “I don’t know either.”
The two of them were silent for a moment.
After a while, Chu Cichen could not help but ask in a voice with a hint of resentment, “Jingjing, is he really similar to me from six years ago? Am I really like a…?”
He pondered for a while, not knowing how to describe Song Chen now.
So, Shen Ruojing filled in for him. “Puppy?”
Chu Cichen. ??
Although Song Chen was the same height as Chu Cichen, he looked thin. Also, when he was facing Shen Ruojing, he always seemed very weak. The word “puppy” could be used to describe him relatively, but it still felt awkward!
Chu Cichen corrected her. “A sissy.”
“…” Shen Ruojing didn’t argue about this with him. She lowered her eyes. “Song Chen six years ago looked exactly the same as he does now, and Song Chen six years ago resembled you perfectly.”
In the past, Shen Ruojing had no idea that Chu Cichen was 527, so she didn’t think too much about this.
But after knowing it, Shen Ruojing would reflect carefully on the matters of the past.
Although the 527 of the organization wore a mask, his personality was the same as both Chu Cichen in China and Chu Cichen overseas.
In other words, the feeling that Song Chen gave her was that he was Chu Cichen himself.
Chu Cichen nodded. “Before you said this, I always believed that there would surely be differences between two people. However, after I saw him…”
Chu Cichen spoke out loud about the most bizarre thing after his meeting with Song Chen, “His appearance looks exactly like me from six years ago, like traveling through time and coming to the present.”
...
It was still the same question. They looked exactly the same.
Chu Cichen fell silent and asked, “Can cosmetic surgery really make someone exactly the same as another person?”
Shen Ruojing touched her chin. “In theory, it can. But in reality, a person is an uncontrollable organism. Different living environments will create different feelings. For example, the temperature of the outside world and even the sunlight will cause the skin to have a different color when its rays shine upon the person. Moreover, cosmetic surgery isn’t perfect. Scientific research shows that all parts of the human body that were altered through surgery would gradually return to a state where the person would resemble their original looks, unless their facial bones were shaved away and one’s flesh was scrapped off. After all, the human body has a self-healing ability.”
However, this wasn’t the case for Song Chen. He had not changed for six years, not even for a single bit!
As Professor Z, Shen Ruojing had been in the scientific research world for so many years, but even she had never encountered a situation like this before.
She felt a headache. “I already told Ye Lu to stay in the hospital, and she would frequently take note of Song Chen’s condition. Also, those people behind the scene are hiding in the shadows. If they don’t act, we won’t have any opportunity to find them. But if they still want to make an attempt at Song Chen’s life, I will definitely discover it! Right now, we can only deal with things as they come!”
Chu Cichen also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing’s phone rang again. She picked it up and Shen Yuansong’s voice rang out. “Jingjing, I’ve handled the troublesome matters. I’m going to organize a banquet so everyone in the capital will recognize you!”
Shen Ruojing. “No need for that, I…”
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yuansong domineeringly continued, “Impossible. I cannot let my acknowledged granddaughter be estranged and live elsewhere! This matter is settled. If you have friends you wish to invite, you can just tell my butler. I’ll get him to contact you. The banquet will be held three days from now!”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
...
Her lips twitched as she looked at Chu Cichen. “He just said ‘acknowledged granddaughter’, not ‘acknowledged daughter’, right?”
Chu Cichen held back a laugh. “Yes.”
Shen Ruojing. “….then what about my mother?”
Chu Cichen cleared up her doubts. “In a bit, they will be selecting a new president for the national scientific association. Nowadays, every organization is moving toward the younger generation to lead them in future development. I think the old man wants to push you up, so he is eager to publicly announce your identity.”
Shen Ruojing was speechless. “…”
She wanted to refuse, but when she thought of Shen Yuansong’s awe-inspiring personal resume…in the end, she sighed silently.
Just then, the butler of the Shen family, Uncle Liu, sent her a WeChat message: [Miss, do you have any friends you’d like to invite?]
Friends to invite?
She didn’t have many friends in the capital, only Yun Wei and her family.
Just as she was about to reply with “You take care of it”, she suddenly remembered Rong Rong.
Hence, she immediately replied to the message: [Yes, there is, I want to invite the eldest Miss Rong from the second house of the Rong family. Her full name is Rong Rong!]
