281 Soft-Heartedness
Shen Ruojing stood up.

(Isn’t this such a coincidence?)

They actually encountered each other here.

Behind her, Madam Yun called out to her, “Jingjing, this dress is pretty nice. Come and try it out.”

Shen Ruojing replied, “Aunt-in-law, I’ve something on, so I’ll make a move first.”

She then took two steps in Chu Cichen’s direction, and Chu Cichen immediately sensed something as he quickly turned his head.

For a time, their gazes matched.

Shen Ruojing could see Chu Cichen’s pupils constricting. Chu Cichen clearly didn’t expect to see her here.

The two of them stayed motionless for a time.

At this time, a man in a suit with a big belly, who was leading several figures who looked like executives, appeared in front of Chu Cichen and Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng immediately walked up and bowed to the pot-bellied man as he shook hands. He then pointed to Chu Cichen and said something. After that, the man walked to Chu Cichen and stretched out his hand to him.

Chu Cichen’s expression was calm as he shook hands. After that, the man in a suit pointed to an elevator at the side, inviting Chu Cichen up to a meeting room upstairs for further discussion.

Chu Cichen hesitated for a while. He then looked at Shen Ruojing as though he was seeking her permission.

Shen Ruojing looked at her, but she didn’t understand what he was doing here…

At this moment, Madam Yun walked over from her back. She stared in the distance and said, “Eh? Isn’t that Cichen?”

She suddenly felt enlightened after saying this. “The Chu Corporation has just relocated to the capital and they have clothing stores under them. I heard it was their own brand. Cichen probably wants to get the Chu Brand into this mall?”

Although Madam Yun wasn’t good at business, she had accompanied Yun Zhengyang for so long, so it was only normal for her to have some knowledge. She then frowned. “The brands here are all internationally famous. It’s too difficult for a national product to enter. Sigh, it isn’t going to be easy for Cichen to establish a foothold in the capital!”

Shen Ruojing then glanced at the distance once more after hearing Madam Yun’s sigh.

Shen Ruojing suddenly felt some heartache for this man. It was tough to create a career but even tougher to keep it operational. Relocating and remodeling the business was beyond difficult! But ever since Chu Cichen returned to the country, he had been doing all of these.

Was she sure she wanted to head over now to interrupt their discussion?

That pot-bellied male was not an amiable man from his look. And now, Chu Cichen was the one seeking help from him…

Shen Ruojing then paused and took her phone, unblocking Chu Cichen before sending him a text. [You have to tell me everything the next time we meet.]

After that, she turned and returned with Madam Yun to the shop.

Chu Cichen’s eyes narrowed after seeing this news. He felt a little puzzled.

Being able to run into her here was beyond his expectation.

Earlier, he panicked a little and knew it was time to tell her the truth. But why did Jingjing suddenly grow soft-hearted?

Because of her soft-heartedness, it actually made him feel somewhat guilty.

Maybe he shouldn’t have kept this from her.

He should probably tell her directly.

After thinking of the truth he discovered, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. After that, he headed into the elevator with the group and went to the top level, entering the chairman’s office.

The moment he entered, the pot-bellied male lowered his head. “Boss, my performance earlier was lacking!”

The people from the four great families would absolutely not have expected that the most famous mall actually belonged to Chu Cichen!

They had once wanted to buy this shopping mall but didn’t succeed. The reason was because Chu Cichen was backing it from the shadows!

Shen Ruojing, who had no idea that she was ‘soft-hearted’ for nothing, was currently watching Yun Wei trying on new dresses.

She walked out wearing a light-blue dress, looking radiant.

“This one looks good. Let’s get this!”

Madam Yun straightforwardly spoke.

The staff smiled and wanted to aid them with their purchase, but they suddenly heard a ‘pak’ sound from the side. The few of them turned their heads and saw Qian Nanyin standing together with Wen Yuyi.

At this moment, Wen Yuyi slammed her bank card on the cashier desk and pointed to the dress on Yun Wei. “I want this and will be paying by card!”

Because she was injured, she applied for leave from school and had gone home to rest.

Qian Nanyin came here today to visit her and decided to go shopping to cheer her up. However, they hadn’t expected to run into Yun Wei here!

Wen Yuyi’s face was injured, but this sl*t was actually shopping happily here?

She immediately rushed over. “I’m the first to pay, so that’s mine!”

After saying that, she looked at Qian Nanyin, wanting him to help her say a few words. But the moment she looked at Qian Nanyin, she grew even angrier.

Qian Nanyin’s gaze was fixed on Yun Wei.

Because Wen Yuyi’s face was injured, there were a few scars there and her face was slightly swollen. In addition, the scars might remain even after her injuries healed. But even if she had no scars, her beauty couldn’t be compared to Yun Wei’s.

This was especially so after Yun Wei wore that light-blue dress. The dress further accentuated the fairness of her skin. Her skin looked supple and as though it was glowing!

Qian Nanyin’s heart immediately surged with jealousy.

When he glanced at Wen Yuyi at his side, he saw that despite her wearing shades and a facial mask, two of the scars couldn’t be concealed and looked extremely malevolent.

Qian Nanyin truly regretted it now.

Yun Wei was originally his fiancee!

His!

But now, he had to marry this disfigured freak. He had personally pushed the person who cared about him away.

Yun Zhengyang arrived at his friend’s location.

He came to Vice President Li’s office, and Vice President Li was already inside waiting for him. On the antique mahogany table, the brewed Pu`er tea was teeming. Calligraphy works from various calligraphers were pasted on the walls, making this place emit a cultured atmosphere.

After the two of them met, Yun Zhengyang didn’t waste any time. He took the calligraphy work out and passed it to Vice President Li.

Vice President Li immediately put on his reading glasses before unfolding the calligraphy scroll, lowering his head and seriously admiring it.

Yun Zhengyang slowly spoke, “Bro Li, if you look at this meticulously, do you feel that the imitation was done very well? The calligrapher association cannot possibly allow someone to become famous only after they die, right? How many calligraphy talents would be wasted like this? I feel that the person who wrote this has a skill level not in any way inferior to Madman. That person is even more mature than him! So, can we grant the person who wrote this an official title?”

Yun Zhengyang knew that Vice President Li didn’t like the way things were done in the calligraphy and art world. Why must someone die before their works could be famous? Why weren’t the creators worthy of praise when they were still alive?

Yun Zhengyang continued, “So, I hope Brother Li can help me by first saying that this work was done by Madman. I believe that no one will discover the truth. After this work becomes famous, we will reveal the truth. We can then promote this person’s works and spread your ideas to the public.”

Yun Zhengyang’s thinking was very simple.

Since he wasn’t able to purchase any of Madman’s work, why didn’t he just create an artificial ‘Madman’?

And his thoughts just so nicely coincide with the path Vice President Li wanted to take in the future. He was certain Vice President Li would help him.

However, he hadn’t expected that after saying this, the vice president didn’t speak for a long time.

Yun Zhengyang couldn’t help but turn to look at Vice President Li. He saw Vice President Li’s hand trembling as excitement could faintly be seen on his face…
