I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

262 Watch Him Get First Place

In the past two days, Yun Yiheng had been practicing in his music room at home.

And no one in the family had gone to disturb him.

On the day of the music festival, after Shen Ruojing got up, she faintly heard zither sounds coming from Yun Yiheng’s music room. There was soundproofing cotton laid out inside, so the sound was very soft. It wouldn’t disturb other people’s rest.

Shen Ruojing then took a look at her phone. It was only six in the morning…

She got up and moved her body after washing up. After that, she went downstairs to practice Taichi as usual.

It was just that when she was practicing Taichi today, she was a little distracted.

When she went to Ford City Music Academy the other day, she had clearly seen Chu Cichen. However, when she went to look for him later on, he was nowhere to be found.

Over the past two days, he hadn’t come to bring her breakfast either. If it wasn’t because Chu Xiaomeng had said in their video calls that her daddy would go home every night to accompany her to sleep, Shen Ruojing would suspect that this man had disappeared again.

She had no idea what he had discovered to be so busy.

She had a vague feeling that the man must have found out the truth, but for some reason, he hadn’t told her.

This woman who had a chill mentality wasn’t anxious. He would explain things sooner or later anyway.

However, Even though she wasn’t anxious, someone was.

Matriarch Chu wore a casual outfit and walked over pretentiously. “Jingjing, what a coincidence. Are you exercising here too? Let’s do it together!”

“…” Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched.

Madam Chu’s acting wasn’t good at all. She moved her arms and then pretended to ask casually, “I don’t know what Cichen has been doing these past two days. Why didn’t he come?”

Ever since Shen Ruojing was chased out of the Chu Family by Chu Cichen, Matriarch Chu might look calm on the surface, but she was very anxious in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to Ford City.

During this time, Matriarch Chu had been shopping and drinking tea with Madam Yun every day while laughing, but she had been observing them.

A few days ago, when Chu Cichen came to deliver breakfast every day, Matriarch Chu was about to cry.

Her son, who was too deeply rooted in male chauvinism, suddenly understood and knew how to woo his wife. She felt that the day for the family of five to reunite was not far away, and she had even thought of where to hold the wedding. But why did he suddenly stop coming?

Was Chu Cichen being silly again?

Matriarch Chu went to ask Chu Cichen, but he always told her to stay out of this matter. Hence, she had no choice but to come to her daughter-in-law to ask.

Shen Ruojing smiled. “Yes, he’s indeed busy. Xiaomeng said that he goes back very late every night.”

Hearing Shen Ruojing saying this, it meant that the two of them were fine.

Matriarch Chu heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stopped what she was doing. “I’m done exercising. You can continue…”

Shen Ruojing. “…” Could she be any more perfunctory in her exercising?!

After Shen Ruojing finished a set of punches and was sweating a little, she walked upstairs, preparing to take a shower, change her clothes, and have breakfast.

However, when she went upstairs, the door to the music room opened, and Yun Yiheng walked out with a zither on his back.

When the two of them met face to face, Yun Yiheng’s footsteps froze.

Shen Ruojing passed by him and said, “You play well.”

Yun Yiheng didn’t look like a profligate second-generation heir. He had dreams and knew how to persevere and work hard.

He used two days to practice this [Coldness of Plum Blossoms], waking up early and staying up late. There would definitely be no problem with the competition.

Shen Ruojing comforted her younger cousin and was about to return to her room when she suddenly heard the youth’s voice behind her. “Hey.”

But Shen Ruojing did not stop walking.

The youth could only call her, “Um… Cousin.”

Only then did Shen Ruojing stop and turn to look at him, smiling.

The youth looked awkward, so he coughed and asked, “Will you come to watch our school’s music festival?”

Shen Ruojing raised her eyebrows. “No.”

If she had the time, wouldn’t it be good for her to go fishing?

Yun Yiheng immediately said, “Why aren’t you coming? Are you afraid that our folk music will beat your orchestral music?”

Such an obvious provocation… Her little cousin was still too inexperienced.

Shen Ruojing nodded. “Yes, yes. I’m afraid that I’ll lose face if you win!”

Yun Yiheng. “…”

He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Looking at him, Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but say, “But if you want me to see you play, I can consider it.”

Yun Yiheng was dumbfounded.

The music score was mended by Shen Ruojing, so Yun Yiheng did indeed want to invite her to admire it, not as Anonymous, but as his cousin… However, how could he possibly say this?!

After she finished speaking, she said, “So that’s not the case. Looks like I was imagining things.”

She then turned around and walked into her room.

Yun Yiheng said, “Hey… Cousin, I want you to go, okay?”

Only then did Shen Ruojing turn around and smile at him. “Alright, since you’ve invited me so warmly, I’ll go to see how you win first place.”

Yun Yiheng’s face turned red. He handed her a ticket and immediately added, “That’s not how it is. I just… I just want you to see how amazing China’s music culture is. I want you to know that Qing Dai is a hundred times better than you!”

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re right!” Shen Ruojing liked to tease him and see how awkward he appeared when he tried to be an arrogant Chūnibyō whose words and actions didn’t match.

Only then did Yun Yiheng realize that he had been tricked by her. His face suddenly turned red. “That’s what it is. Alright, we still have rehearsal. I’ll go first. The official competition for that music festival is at 6 pm. I’m the 16th program scheduled, so don’t be late.”

Suddenly, he realized something and shouted, “By the way, our band’s name is Qilin* Band. Remember this.”

Only then did Shen Ruojing’s Chūnibyō cousin slip away to run downstairs.

Shen Ruojing stood on the spot and stroked her chin.

Qilin… He really liked Chinese culture. Even his band name was so eastern-sounding.

She then looked down at the ticket in her hand.

A great event like Ford City’s Music Festival would invite many famous people. The ticket in her hand was actually in the top VIP area, seat number 10 in the first row.

Not only was she Yun Yiheng’s older cousin, but she was also Anonymous. Therefore, after the school found out that Yun Yiheng had asked for a ticket for her, they gave her the seat with the best view of the entire venue.

Shen Ruojing was not shocked at all. After putting down the ticket, she went in to take a shower and change her clothes. While drying her hair, she saw Shen Qianhui instructing Chu Tianye and Chu Yu to tidy the books in the study.

She flipped through the books with the two children, wanting to find more information about her father.

Jing Zhen had gone to the film city again, but Shen Qianhui was staying at the Yun Manor because she wanted to look for clues.

Chu Tianye said, “Grandma, I’ve flipped through 50 books, but there’s nothing.”

Then, he took out his phone and opened up his QR code. “50 dollars.”

The corners of Shen Qianhui’s lips twitched. After she transferred the money to Chu Tianye, he continued his search.

Shen Qianhui couldn’t help but say, “You’re such a money-grubber and are a far cry from Little Yu. You’re asking me for money just to help me with some work.”

After being praised, Chu Yu looked at Shen Ruojing with bright eyes.

However, Chu Tianye curled his lips. “Even biological brothers have to settle accounts clearly! Besides, flipping through books is too boring. Grandma, why do you have to look for your father?”

Shen Qianhui sighed. “He’s a farmer. It’s fine if he’s gone, but if he’s still alive and his family background isn’t good, I wonder if he’ll suffer.”

Shen Qianhui’s mind was already filled with the image of the pitiful old man who had been abandoned by the children at home because he was old and could only lie alone in a cold room, enduring hunger and thirst.

–

At the Ford City Airport.

A private plane slowly landed. After that, an old man with a scorching gaze got off the plane.

He looked up at the sky of Ford City, his old face revealing a hint of nostalgia that others couldn’t detect. This person was the Shen Family’s old master, Shen Yuansong!

He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and holding a ticket to the Ford City Music Academy.

The print on it was: row one, seat number 09, VIP area.
