I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack-Chapter 48 - Jing Zhen’s Identity

Matriarch Shen was now standing at the peak of morality.

It was a norm for the wealthy people in the country to not distribute their assets fairly to their descendants. For the family business to develop, they couldn’t possibly split the shares evenly. Hence, some children would always feel aggrieved.

Moreover, Matriarch Shen was Shen Qianhui’s adoptive mother. Although in the eyes of the law, adoptive children had equal rights to inheritance, on moral grounds, most adoptive children would take the initiative to give in.

After all, things were like what Matriarch Shen had said. To an orphan, giving them a family and raising them up was already considered a favor. One must know contentment. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

This was also the reason why most people criticized Shen Qianhui.

Without the Shen Family, Shen Qianhui might have to stay in the orphanage for life and would be chased out at the age of 18 to be independent. Moreover, it would be a problem whether she would be able to attend university or not. How could she possibly have become the talented elite she was today?

Even Shen Qianhui herself thought the same.

Therefore, after she could earn money, she worked very hard for the Shen Family’s company.

Given her capabilities, how could she not understand that Matriarch Shen was just making use of her?

However, in the past, Shen Qianhui felt that even though Matriarch Shen was making use of her, she did have feelings for her. Therefore, despite knowing these things, Shen Qianhui never complained. She just wanted to do more work and let Matriarch Shen see her value and be closer to her.

People who were lacking in love had to use their entire lifetime to heal the hurt they received from their childhood.

This was also why both Shen Ruojing and Jing Zhen had never exposed the facade in front of Shen Qianhui despite having seen through Matriarch Shen.

Shen Qianhui knew that after today, she would definitely be subject to condemnation from the public. However, although she could accept herself working for the Shen Family for the rest of her life, she wasn’t going to allow her daughter to do the same. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Shen Qianhui was already prepared to be scolded, but who was this random person that suddenly popped out?

Yun Xiu… This was Matriarch Shen’s name. How did she know that?

It had been a very long time since someone had called Matriarch Shen by her name, so she was stunned for a short moment when she heard it. She thought that it was an old affiliate from Sea City.

Matriarch Shen then looked toward Madam Yun. From this lady’s dignified and graceful appearance, Matriarch Shen knew that the latter was from an extraordinary background. She couldn’t help but ask, “Madam, you are…?”

Madam Yun lowered her head and replied indifferently, “I’m from the Yun Family.”

Yun…

Other people might just find this surname uncommon, but they wouldn’t think too much about it. However, when Matriarch Shen heard this, she felt something explode in her brain.

Over the years, she had been making use of the money the young miss had given to Shen Qianhui for her own family business. However, Shen Qianhui didn’t know that. In the past, the company had been under Shen Qianhui’s name!

But Yun Xiu’s young miss had passed away five years ago.

Before her death, she had informed Matriarch Shen that no one from the Yun Family would come to disturb them. She told Matriarch Shen to rest assured.

That was why Matriarch Shen suddenly pushed things to even greater intensity, driving Shen Qianhui out of the house and even changing the name of the company’s legal owner.

At this moment, Matriarch Shen looked at Madam Yun in disbelief. Her face turned completely pale.

Madam Yun took another step forward and stood between Matriarch Shen and Shen Qianhui. Her voice was slow, but everyone nearby could hear her. “I never knew that when a nanny was hired to take care of a child, the child would grow up to be indebted to the nanny for raising them up. What kind of reasoning is this?”

Her words shocked everyone here.

Little Xiang was sensitive and caught the gist of the content. She was astonished and asked, “Madam, what do you mean?”

When the cameraman heard her words, he planned on turning the camera at Madam Yun, but the latter looked at him calmly. Her gaze was so imposing that the cameraman didn’t dare to move.

Madam Yun had her back to the camera and said softly, “My aunt had hired Yun Xiu as a nanny, paying her $20,000 each month to take care of my cousin. I heard that in the past years, this nanny’s salary was raised to $100,000. However, I didn’t expect that after my aunt passed away, Yun Xiu, a mere servant, actually had the audacity to bully her young miss. I heard a mention of the Shen Family’s company earlier… Isn’t that my cousin’s company? When did it become the Shen Family’s?”

Her words made Little Xiang, the surrounding neighbors, and everyone on the Internet understood what had happened.

(What adoptive mother? You’re just a hired nanny!)

Little Xiang was shocked as she looked toward Matriarch Shen. “Mrs. Yun, is what this madam said true?”

How could Matriarch Shen possibly dare say no?!

Other people might not know who this person was, but Matriarch Shen knew it very well!

The Yun Family was the most affluent family in Ford City. Their influence in Ford City was like the Chu Family in Sea City!

Hence, Matriarch Shen turned limp and fell to the ground. Although she didn’t admit it, her appearance already made everyone understand what the truth was.

Feeling puzzled, Little Xiang asked, “Since Madam Shen is your cousin, why hasn’t anyone from the Yun Family come to acknowledge her for so many years?”

Madam Yun looked calmly at her and then gave a faint smile. “This is our family matter, so I won’t be troubling reporters to take too much note of it. If there’s nothing else, you guys can leave now.”

Little Xiang: “…”

Although she knew that there were a lot more materials to get from them, she had gained enough views today. Moreover, this madam gave off a strong disposition, causing her to not dare to rebut her. Hence, Little Xiang nodded. After giving a concluding statement, she ended the live stream.

At this moment, the tables had shockingly turned for the bullet curtain situation. There were people who scolded Matriarch Shen, as well as comments about Jing Zhen.

——My god! To think that this cute brother has filmed so many movies! To think that I didn’t realize this before!

——He plays the role of a soldier. In such a big scene, how could you possibly notice him?

——Ahhhhh! I found the cute brother’s Weibo account! He’s called Jing Zhen! Sisters, go and follow him!!!

…

The live stream was turned off and Little Xiang left. The neighbors wanted to stay to watch the show, but Shen Ruojing had invited everyone that had a connection into her house and closed the door.

Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun sat on the sofa while Shen Qianhui seemed to be in a bit of a daze.

A few days ago, she was still telling Jing Zhen how she didn’t know who her parents were. Thus, she didn’t expect her family members to come to their door…

Matriarch Shen sat on the living room’s floor, and Shen Ruotong was also shocked and at a loss. She shook Matriarch Shen’s arm and asked, “Grandmother, what is going on? I’m a rich daughter of an affluent family! How can I be a servant’s granddaughter?! And Shen Ruojing is supposed to be an adopted daughter’s child. How did she become a rich daughter of an affluent family?”

Rich daughter of an affluent family… servant…

These words agitated Matriarch Shen. She knew that things were over for her, and she was going to lose all the riches they had gotten. She looked viciously at Shen Qianhui. “What rich daughter of an affluent family? So what if you’re from the Yun Family? Right now, you’re just married to a small-time actor. You’re just Madam Jing! You’re no longer part of the distinguished Yun Family! It’s even worse for Shen Ruojing! She’s just the daughter of a small-time actor!”

She then shouted at Madam Yun, “You guys came looking for her, wanting to reestablish relationships with her? What then? No matter how much the Yun Family compensates her, her husband’s family is still unpresentable! She’ll forever be the wife of this trashy small-time celebrity!”

Madam Yun looked at Jing Zhen.

He was leaning back on the sofa, assuming a leisurely pose. He gave off a strong presence that made it hard for others to ignore him.

Shen Ruojing, who was standing next to him, raised her brows. As long as her father didn’t say anything, he would have a strong disposition.

She was just thinking this when she suddenly detected an assessing gaze.

She turned and looked over to see that Yun Zhengyang was looking at Jing Zhen with a doubtful and unsettled expression. Yun Zhengyang seemed hesitant. He then pushed his glasses up his nose and sat up straight before looking respectfully at Jing Zhen. “Why are you* here?”

Footnote:

[1] When Yun Zhengyang spoke to Jing Zhen, he used a more respectful form of ‘you’. It is usually used to address one’s superiors, elders, or people of higher statuses.
