413 Biological Granddaughter!

Shen Jiayi stared at Shen Ruojing in rage as she shouted loudly, “My granduncle has always been righteous, but he ended up like this because of you, isn’t it?! The description ‘femme fatale’ is too light even if used on you!”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, her gaze sank as she slowly replied, “The term ‘femme fatale’ is traditionally biased toward females and extremely insulting. Are you still living in the feudal era?”

The term was usually used to associate beautiful women with trouble as their looks could cause kings to mismanage their empires due to focusing on pleasing them. But how could a woman truly have such capabilities?

This was simply a case of finding an excuse for the decline of a country because it had an incapable ruler.

The scientists here were cursing her and chasing her out because they were angry about Shen Yuansong’s conduct. However, they didn’t wish to scold the esteemed Shen Yuansong, so they could only transfer their anger onto her!

Shen Jiayi choked and felt her face turning red.

Those scientists who had scolded Shen Ruojing together with Shen Jiayi felt themselves going red as well.

After all, they were passionate about research and hence were bad at social interactions. It was easier for them to be beguiled by others. Now that Shen Ruojing said this, all of them immediately realized their mistakes.

Chu Qianshu who was before her actually stood up. Her eyes gleamed. “Well said!”

After that, intense applause rang out.

As the sound of her claps rang out, the others also started applauding. For a time, the sounds of applause echoed throughout the entire place!

Amidst the applause, Shen Jiayi shouted loudly once more, “So, you mean that this is all a mistake my grandpa made?! Could it be that he forced you to be so intimate with him?”

The applause abruptly stopped as everyone instantly turned and looked at Shen Yuansong once more.

Everyone fell silent.

They understood that Shen Yuansong must be muddle-headed, and that was why he did such a thing. However, although he had failed to manage his integrity, no one here was willing to reproach him.

It was because his contributions to the scientific world were simply too great!

Shen Yuansong who was currently being observed pressed his lips together.

The vice president glared at the other old man in rage before nervously looking at Shen Yuansong. He was afraid that this incident might trigger his illness. However, he discovered that Shen Yuansong was ignoring the other old man, not even glancing at him.

In fact, everyone was shooting questioning gazes at him, but he didn’t reply to anyone.

Rather, he was staring at the stage seriously with a deep gaze. There was a message within his gaze. (Are you sure you want to do this despite knowing how dangerous the future might be?!)

Shen Ruojing also looked at him and replied with her actions. She held the mic and slowly enunciated each word, “Is there any problem with me being close with my maternal grandfather, someone who has a blood relationship with me?”

Shen Jiayi. “??”

What was she talking about?

This time, her voice was even shriller compared to before. She shouted in doubt, “Biological maternal grandpa?”

“Oh, not maternal.”

Shen Ruojing’s words caused Shen Jiayi’s tense heart to relax.

She was happy…

Even if Shen Ruojing was Professor Z, no matter how impressive she was, her background couldn’t be compared to Shen Jiayi’s. Shen Jiayi’s background was enough to let her stand at the peak!

The endpoint everyone could reach through hard work was merely her starting point.

Her identity was the thing she was the proudest of.

But when she thought of this, she heard Shen Ruojing continuing. “He should be considered my paternal grandfather, as after all, my father married into my mother’s family.”

Shen Jiayi, who had just relaxed, felt her heart clenching again.

W…what did she say earlier?!

Paternal grandfather? Biological?

Everyone on the scene was stunned.

Everyone looked at Shen Ruojing and also looked at Shen Yuansong.

Even the vice president was stunned as he looked at the stage in astonishment.

At this moment, Shen Yuansong’s rival who had been making snide remarks felt his pupils constricting as he looked at Shen Yuansong in disbelief. “She is your granddaughter?!”

Shen Yuansong’s eyes were already wet.

He stood up and trembled.

His granddaughter had stood out to protect him, so what qualifications did he have to still hide?!

Shen Yuansong waved to a staff member at the side, and that staff immediately passed a mic over. After that, Shen Yuansong took the mic and replied loudly, “That is correct. Shen Ruojing’s mother, Shen Qianhui, is my biological daughter, so there is no doubt that she is my biological granddaughter!”

After saying that, he looked at his rival with arrogance. “Old Xu, how about it? My granddaughter is stronger than your son, right?”

His son was working in the scientific industry and could be considered to have some small accomplishments. However, he was incomparable to Prof. Z!

His rival Old Xu. “…”

“Hahahahahaha!” Shen Yuansong lifted his head and laughed proudly.

His laughter echoed through the venue and caused many people to be subconsciously moved. Somehow, they could hear the relief of a hero who did have a successor.

Shen Ruojing glanced at her grandfather and smiled before she spoke again, “Sometimes, what you see and what you hear might not be real. Before understanding the whole situation, we shouldn’t comment recklessly. Science is a strict art and we cannot be allowed to profane its sacredness!”

After saying this, she bowed slightly and left the stage.

Later on, when Shen Yuansong was nominated for the special contribution award, the 500 scientists here voted for him. Even Shen Jiayi had no choice but to do so under the gazes of everyone.

The award ceremony soon ended and Shen Yuansong lifted the trophy and award in his hands as he looked kindly at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing asked, “Very happy?”

Shen Yuansong gently smiled. “Correct. I can die without regret now after obtaining the award I’m most satisfied with in my life!”

Shen Ruojing glanced at the award and trophy in his hands. “Why is that?”

Shen Yuansong didn’t explain and merely looked at her.

He had devoted his entire life to scientific research and contributed immensely to the Shen Family. As expected, the heavens gave him a gift back. With such a granddaughter, he felt that his entire life’s effort was worth it!

After seeing how happy he was, Shen Ruojing glanced at people in their surroundings.

Everyone was snapping photos in excitement. She then probingly said, “Let me take a photo for you.”

Shen Yuansong passed his mobile phone to her. “Sure!”

He took two steps back and stood below the stage, allowing the banner of the scientific association to be captured in the shot.

Shen Ruojing turned the camera on, but just when she was about to aim properly, Shen Yuansong’s phone suddenly vibrated as a series of numbers from an unknown caller appeared.

At this moment, someone walked past Shen Ruojing and accidentally bumped into her arm, causing her finger to directly press the ‘listen’ button.

After regaining her senses, she decided to switch it to speaker mode.

Hence, amidst the boisterous scene, an unfamiliar voice rang out with the tone of command. “Shen Yuansong, I heard that you have a biological granddaughter? You have truly hidden this well! Although your granddaughter has given birth to three children, we don’t mind. When are you planning to send her over?”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze sank.

She finally understood that this must be the reason why her grandfather refused to acknowledge her back then!

Shen Ruojing lifted her hand and glanced at her grandfather who was smiling and posing for the camera…

She then stared at the phone and suddenly asked, “Who are you?”

The other party paused before laughing. “You must be his granddaughter. He didn’t tell you about us?”

Shen Ruojing pursed his lips. “Where do you want me to go?”
