469 Changing Surname!~

Shen Yuansong’s face changed abruptly, and he didn’t dare to question further. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke cautiously, “Quee…”.

But as soon as he said this, the other party coughed, causing him to quickly change his words. “… Madam, didn’t we already agree on something?”

The woman replied lightly, “I just want to meet her, I didn’t say I’m taking her away. Why are you so nervous?”

Shen Yuansong was still uneasy and asked, “Where are you?”

“The old mansion where I used to reside in the capital. Come see me there,” said the other party before hanging up the phone.

Shen Yuansong took a deep breath.

After that, as he turned around, he noticed that everyone on the set was looking at him. He rarely showed his emotions, but he was too nervous just now. Fortunately, he had calmed down now.

Also, no one dared to stare at the old man closely, so no one noticed anything unusual.

Shen Yuansong came to the front of the group and looked at Shen Qianhui, saying in a gentle tone, “You’re my only daughter. If you have time, go back and take a look at our home.”

After speaking, he looked at her fragile appearance and changed his tone. “But you must be busy lately, so there’s no rush. You can always drop by later.”

At the very least, it would be better to wait until that person left China before he fetched his daughter home.

His daughter had a silly and sweet appearance, indicating that she might have had some rough patches over the years, but she was still living a simple and happy life.

Yun He had made the right choice in the past. If they had sent their naive daughter to that person’s place, it would be unclear what kind of ruined state she would be in now.

He couldn’t help but glance disapprovingly at Jing Zhen. If his daughter had married into any of the four major families, Shen Ruojing would have had a respectable father and could have joined the Shen family in standing up against that person. But why did she have to choose this small-time actor?

Besides his good looks, Shen Yuansong couldn’t see any other qualities in Jing Zhen.

As Shen Yuansong pondered, the people on the set started to look at Shen Qianhui differently. What did the old man’s words mean? Did he acknowledge this daughter or not? If he didn’t, why did he come all the way to the set to look for her?

Shen Qianhui’s face also paled and she tightened her fingers. Did her father not like her? If that was the case, why did he come to the set to acknowledge her?

Seeing her expression, Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

Her mother always liked to overthink and underestimate herself. She must have misunderstood her grandfather’s words just now.

She directly held onto Shen Qianhui’s arm and said, “Mother, grandpa has some very important things to do recently. He will definitely come to take you home when he’s done.”

This sentence made Shen Yuansong understand the situation as well.

Looking at his daughter’s delicate and paper-like face, he could see that her expression had lost the excitement of them just recognizing each other. Hence, he immediately understood.

Shen Yuansong immediately patted her shoulder and said, “Today I was supposed to have lunch with you and take you back home. Your room has already been prepared for you at home. But I have some unexpected business to attend to, so I may not have time to accompany you during this period. If you have any problems, you can call me or your Uncle Liu.”

Seeing his attitude becoming friendly again, Shen Qianhui also gathered up her courage and asked, “Why did you break up with my mother back then? Do you not want me either?”

Shen Yuansong immediately explained, “I didn’t know your mother was pregnant with you. She left me because… it’s a private matter between us….”

After speaking, Shen Yuansong sighed and continued, “The Shen family has a large business empire, and I had no heir to inherit it. It wasn’t until I recognized Jingjing that I discovered I had a daughter… However, because the Shen family is a big business, you may not be able to handle it if I let you take over right now.”

Shen Qianhui was already of a certain age, and her ability was already fixed.

After all, any heir to a group needed to be cultivated from a young age.

When Shen Yuansong took over the Shen family, he didn’t suddenly become the in-charge out of nowhere. He started as a manager in various departments and had to understand what each branch was doing until he fully took over the entire Shen family ten years later.

This was unlike Chu Cichen, who grew up abroad and suddenly returned to take over the family business. This was actually very unusual in these well-established wealthy families. Fortunately, Chu Cichen was capable enough, and he didn’t mind using direct means to transform the Chu family’s business. But even then, it also took a long time to transition.

After Shen Yuansong finished speaking, he smiled at the three children and then looked at Shen Ruojing. “Discuss with Chu Cichen and change one of their surnames to ‘Shen’. How about that?”

Although it was mentioned to change the surname, everyone present knew the implied meaning!

(One of the three children will be chosen as the heir to the Shen family!)

Shen Yuansong had no sons or daughters, and he had two younger brothers. The third brother died early and left behind a widow and an orphan, so everyone had naturally assumed that the successor to the Shen family would be chosen from Shen Zhong and Shen Chong of the second branch.

But now, Shen Yuansong had deprived them of their inheritance right in front of everyone!

This news was simply too shocking.

Among the three children, Chu Tianye was the most sensitive to these matters. He instinctively asked, “Great-grandpa, is the Shen family richer or the Chu family richer?”

Shen Yuansong smiled. “The four major families in the capital are led by the Shen family, and the Chu family is merely a newcomer here. Chu Tianye, what do you think? Do you want to change your surname to ‘Shen’?”

When Shen Yuansong glanced down and saw this little fellow looking up at him with the puppy beside him, he already made his decision.

Chu Tianye immediately said seriously, “Grandpa, please don’t call me Chu Tianye. I am Shen Tianye!”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Chu Yu and Chu Xiaomeng both curled their lips.

Shen Yuansong, on the other hand, looked up and burst out laughing. “Great, the Shen family will be yours from now on! Before the age of fifteen, you will still be staying with the Chu family, and after fifteen, come with me!”

Chu…no, Shen Tianye immediately jumped up excitedly. “Okay!”

Then he looked ecstatically at Chu Yu and Chu Xiaomeng. Ha, from now on, he would be the wealthiest in the family!

Shen Tianye had no idea that when the truth of Chu Cichen’s real business empire overseas and Jing Zhen’s identity were exposed, he would become the poorest among them…

However, this little money-grubber would never abandon the road of making money in his lifetime. Even so, it wasn’t until he retired that he realized his net worth was only on par with Chu Yu and Chu Xiaomeng’s. But then again, that was a story for another time.

After selecting Chu Tianye, Shen Yuansong finally looked at Shen Ruojing. He hesitated for a long time before he sighed. “Jingjing, come with me to meet someone.”

When Shen Yuansong answered the phone, she already noticed that his expression was off.

Thinking of the hidden issue in the Shen family… she knew that her grandfather seemed to fear someone. He had also said before that after recognizing Shen Ruojing, her mother’s crisis would be resolved because the person the other party wanted now was her…

Shen Ruojing calmly looked at Shen Yuansong. “Grandfather, who are we going to see?”

Shen Yuansong hesitated and didn’t say anything.

Shen Ruojing then walked over and supported him by his arm. “I am not as weak as my mother. You have to tell me who the other party is, so I won’t make any mistakes later.”

Shen Yuansong looked at her.

He didn’t want his granddaughter to be involved in this mess, but now that the person had come and clearly stated that she wanted to see his granddaughter…

Shen Yuansong inhaled deeply and made a decision.
