273 I Will Never Lie to You Ever
The night was as black as ink.
Shen Ruojing quietly looked at Chu Cichen.
The light from the street lamps cascaded on his face, causing his features to look a little softer. His tall
nose bridge seemed to be hiding in the darkness due to him lowering his head.
The truth made him feel very unsatisfied.
Shen Ruojing had a thought in her mind. The conjecture she had back then flashed through her mind
again.
Could things really be the case?
Chu Cichen licked his parched lips and his gaze darted around. He suddenly looked at her. “I once said
that I will never lie to you, ever.”
Shen Ruojing started.
This sentence was something 527 had spoken to 518 back when they were in the organization.
She nodded. “And?”
Chu Cichen’s mouth opened and closed. He wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say. At
this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
He heaved a sigh of relief, acting as though he was saved. He then gestured to Shen Ruojing. “Can I
take this call first?”
“…”
Before recognizing her, this fellow had been extremely arrogant, doing whatever he wanted. But now,
he actually sought her permission to pick up a call.
In addition, she could see deep emotions in the depths of his eyes. It was like he had kept all his love
deep in his heart.
Such a Chu Cichen actually caused Shen Ruojing to feel heartache for some reason.
She nodded. “Sure.”
Chu Cichen took his phone and listened to the call. It was unknown what the other party said, but he
replied, “I got it. I’ll head there immediately.”
He then looked at Shen Ruojing once more after hanging up.
His gaze had a hint of complexity within and also unclear lingering and grief…
His eyes turned slightly red as he suddenly spoke, “Jingjing, are you very anxious to find out about the
truth?”
Seeing him like this, Shen Ruojing pursed her lips and her heart softened a little. “…No, I’m not really in
a hurry.”
Actually, she felt quite anxious.
However, her words caused Chu Cichen to heave a sigh of relief. He lowered his eyelids and his voice
actually had a hint of pleading. “I need to meet an important customer first. What happened back then
cannot be so simply explained in a few sentences. I’ll tell you the truth when we meet again next time,
is that alright with you?”
“…” Shen Ruojing felt as though there was some air stuck in her chest.
If the truth was something that really made Chu Cichen feel so difficult to speak up, then…
She lowered her peach blossom eyes and suddenly smiled. “Fine.”
Chu Cichen heaved another sigh of relief. He then headed out. “I’ll go meet someone first. I’ll look for
you another day.”
“Okay.”
Shen Ruojing stood at her original location and watched Chu Cichen’s departing back. Chu Cichen
walked very quickly as though he was avoiding the plague. Only then did she realize… could she have
been duped by this man earlier?
Leaving aside the fact that Chu Cichen was the CEO of the Chu Corporation, back then, although he
had acted like a little puppy in front of her, his way of dealing with things had always been tough and
unyielding.
When had she ever seen him acting so awkwardly?
He must have deliberately pretended to be aggrieved so her heart would soften!
What was the truth he discovered exactly? It actually made him hesitate so much.
Shen Ruojing decided to take her phone out and directly called Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng soon picked up her call, his voice filled with respect. “Lord Jing!”
“What’s the truth from back then?”
“…Bro Chen forbade me from telling you,” Lu Cheng replied.
“…”
It seemed that Chu Cichen must have really discovered something. So, Shen Ruojing didn’t make
things difficult for Lu Cheng and directly hung up. After that, she made a call to Lu Hui.
Lu Hui picked up her call quickly, and Shen Ruojing directly commanded, “Help me investigate what
Chu Cichen did exactly in his recent two visits to the Ford City Music Academy.”
“Boss, what’s the matter?” Lu Hui was extremely interested in gossip. “Could it be that he has some
mistresses among the students behind your back? Are they art students?”
“…Scram!”
“Alrighty~”
Shen Ruojing pursed her lips before heading back to the Yun Manor.
–
At the backstage of the Music Festival.
The police came and arrested Fatty for deliberately causing harm. He most probably would be jailed.
On the other hand, Wen Yuyi was bleeding from her injuries and was sent to the emergency
department of the hospital.
The farce quickly concluded. Although an accident occurred at the end, the Music Festival could still be
considered a success overall.
Shen Yuansong didn’t care about such minor things. At this moment, he looked at Yun Yiheng and
said, “Your skills in the zither aren’t bad.”
Yun Yiheng knew that this person was none other than Old Master Shen. So, he felt overwhelmed by
favor from a superior after hearing this. However, as he was an innately proud man and wouldn’t act
meekly, he awkwardly mumbled, “Thanks.”
Seeing how humble and unassuming Yun Yiheng was, Shen Yuansong involuntarily sighed in praise.
As expected of someone from the Yun Family.
He suddenly spoke, “I have a remnant zither music score at home. I wonder if you are interested
enough to help me mend it? If you succeed, I can send you to the Vienna Music Hall to perform.”
Yun Yiheng’s eyes brightened.
Old Master Shen was actually here in Ford City to scout for talents?
He then asked while feeling puzzled, “What can I help you with?”
Old Master Shen also didn’t beat around the bush and directly explained, “I’m already old and recently,
I’ve been feeling a sense of discomfort in my organs. Hence, I wish to find someone good in the zither.
I wish that you can play the [Coldness of Plum Blossom] for me once every week.”
It was actually for the sake of curing illnesses.
Yun Yiheng was stunned.
He learned the zither because he was fond of eastern musical instruments and wanted to spread their
glory throughout the world. However, he didn’t expect that he would actually use his skills in the zither
for curing illnesses one day.
However, he still spoke excitedly, “Sure!”
He could promote the zither through Old Master Shen.
Shen Yuansong then cast a glance at his assistant.
The assistant immediately passed a name card to Yun Yiheng. “Old Master Shen won’t be able to stay
in Ford City for a long time. Contact me once you reach the capital.”
Yun Yiheng nodded. “Okay.”
After saying that, Yun Yiheng lifted his head again and stared at Old Master Shen in bewilderment.
Logically speaking, they had already finished speaking so why wasn’t Old Master Shen leaving?
They couldn’t possibly be waiting for him to leave first, right?
As he contemplated, he heard Shen Yuansong asking, “Are you very familiar with that person named
Qing Dai?”
Yun Yiheng immediately blushed. He then lowered his head and said, “Yes, very.”
“Hmm, can you help me tell her this? If she wants to come with you, the Shen Family will welcome her
anytime.”
“Noted.”
“…”
A strange silence fell upon them again.
Yun Yiheng lifted his head again and looked at Old Master Shen curiously.
Old Master Shen was rumored to be a decisive family leader, but why didn’t he look like that at all?
As he was pondering, he suddenly heard the other party asking, “Can I pay the Yun Family a visit?”
