Chapter 62 - Scar On the Right Arm

Chapter 62: Scar On the Right Arm

Translator: Lordbluefire

The story of their first encounter was a little tacky.

The 20-year-old Shen Ruojing was filled with hostility and not as calm as she was now.

That day, she was carrying out a mission in F. Country and was wearing tight-fitting sportswear. Then when she was walking on the road, she bumped into a few hooligans.

The hooligans in F. Country were all tall and strong, while she was thin and frail-looking. No matter how one looked at her, she seemed to be an easy target for bullies.

Back then, Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes and wore an evil smile.

She rolled her wrists and was prepared to teach these people a lesson, venting her anger while she was at it.

The few of them went forward, wanting to lay their hands on her. However, just as one of them was about to touch her, a large hand with well-defined joints suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the groping hand. Then, the person exerted force and knocked the hooligan to the ground.

That person was none other than Chu Cichen.

Although there wasn’t a need for his help, it would save her the effort. Therefore, she crossed her arms and watched the show from the side.

Chu Cichen’s footsteps were a little messy and his breathing was unstable.

Despite this, he still knocked down the hooligans. Then, he looked at her coldly and asked, “Are you stunned from being scared out of your wits? Hurry up and run!”

Shen Ruojing didn’t move and just stared at his face.

The man’s cheeks had a hint of youthfulness to them, but his eyes were dark. The corners of his big phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and under his high nose bridge were lips that were neither too thick nor too thin.

His facial features were very exquisite and beautiful, looking like a prince who had walked out of a comic book.

On that day, dark clouds covered the sky. But when he stood there, it was as if the sun had pierced through the clouds and illuminated everything.

That was the first time in her life that her heart was moved.



“So, you got interested because of his good looks?” When Matriarch Chu heard this, she couldn’t help but tease, “Although I’m the one saying this, amongst my children, it’s true that Cichen is the most good-looking one of them all. You have a good taste.”

Shen Ruojing smiled calmly.

Matriarch Chu asked again, “But would Cichen really be so kind-hearted as to save a damsel in distress? Ruojing, I keep having the feeling that the person you’re talking about is not the same person as the Cichen I know.”

Shen Ruojing looked at her. “When he saved me that day, he received a cut in his arm by a hooligan. It has been around five to six years, but the scar should still be there.”

It was true that back then, her interest was piqued and she was stunned by his good looks. She had also given the hooligans a chance to stab her with a dagger, but Chu Cichen had subconsciously stretched out his arm to block the other party’s attack.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing pointed to the outer area of her right arm. “It’s around here.”

Matriarch Chu nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Ruojing, do you have any plans about your relationship with Cichen?”

Shen Ruojing smiled. “Just let nature take its course.”

It was a mystery why Chu Cichen didn’t remember her.

It was also a mystery why he had gone missing back then.

And when Chu Cichen returned to the country, someone sent her an anonymous email that let her find out that her children’s father was Chu Cichen…

All these things seemed as if someone was controlling everything from the shadows.

However, she was now retired and didn’t wish to get involved in any conflict. Therefore, the best option was to let nature take its course.

When the mastermind saw that she didn’t take any action, they would definitely not be able to hold back and might jump out. When that happened, all the mysteries would be resolved.

Matriarch Chu was about to say something when the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside. The butler entered and said, “Mr. Chu came home early today.”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she stood up. “Matriarch, I’ll take my leave first.”

Coincidentally, Chu Yu had finished unpacking his things and came downstairs. When he heard Shen Ruojing’s words, he was a little confused. “Mommy, didn’t you say that you’re going to stay here as well?”

Shen Ruojing coughed. “I have something on in the afternoon. If I’m done with it, I’ll come and pick you up tonight. If I’m not done with the work, you’ll stay here.”

“…Alright then.” Chu Yu agreed reluctantly. “Then can I call you? I still have one more question that I don’t know how to do~”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, her hands trembled and she said very reluctantly, “…I guess so.”

After that, she turned around, quickened her pace, and swiftly left.

Chu Cichen, who had just entered, was slightly confused when he saw her leave without even a greeting. Why did this woman, who was usually very composed, look like she was running away from something today?

Was she… afraid of him?

At this moment, Chu Cimo, who had been playing all night, also rushed home. As soon as he entered, he shouted, “Brother, Mother, did Shen Ruojing write a song for Yang Zhiqin to sing?”

Matriarch Chu frowned and sensed that something was wrong. “How did you know?”

Chu Cimo took out her phone. “It’s already on Weibo’s trending searches. My friend came to ask me about it, so of course I know!”

Weibo trending searches…

Matriarch Chu snatched his phone and saw a piece of trending news on Weibo: #RoyalOceanEntertainmentBeingTooUnsightly#

After opening the post, she saw that Royal Ocean Entertainment had recently changed owners. On the first day of work, the new boss directly gave a song written by her child to Yang Zhiqin. She used her power to suppress Yang Zhiqin, forcing her to sing the song to raise the composer’s popularity.

Yang Zhiqin had a lot of fans and many people grew up listening to her songs, so they had great feelings for her. When they saw this piece of news, they hurried over to Yang Zhiqin’s Weibo account to ask what was going on.

——Elder Sister, is the news on the trending searches true?

——Previous poster, of course it must be true. I’ve asked someone working at Royal Ocean Entertainment. Sister is really going to sing a song composed by a family member of Royal Ocean Entertainment’s new boss! That person is just a newbie. Her name has never appeared in the entertainment circle before!

——Our Queen Qinqin mustn’t be aggrieved like this!

——Sister, just terminate the contract. It’s meaningless to stay in Royal Ocean!

——Heh, a second-generation rich kid can just lay there and do nothing. Why come to the entertainment circle? If Sister were to sing the song, we would definitely boycott it!

——Previous poster, be more rational. Our sister is an artist who has signed a contract with the company, so she naturally has to listen to the company’s orders. Don’t boycott Sister. If you want to boycott, boycott Royal Ocean Entertainment instead! They are too despicable!

——Everyone, don’t be rash. We should wait for Sister’s reply first. No matter what decision Sister makes, I’ll support her!





There were both rational and irrational fans, but the popularity of this topic quickly rose.

Yang Zhiqin was a great celebrity, so everyone quickly found out about this matter in no time at all.

Chu Cimo said anxiously, “Hurry up and remove the post from the trending searches!”

However, Chu Cichen said coldly, “It’s too late to take it off now.”

If the post were to disappear from the trending searches for no reason, the netizens would say that capitalists were suppressing the post. Too many people had found out about this, so it’d be useless even if it was taken down.

Chu Cimo asked, “Then what should we do? Are we going to let Shen Ruojing be scolded like this?”

Before Chu Cichen could say anything, Lu Cheng answered, “Bro Chen, don’t panic. I’ve called Yang Zhiqin’s assistant. She’ll contact Yang Zhiqin right away and let Yang Zhiqin come out to clarify things personally, saying that she was the one who had taken a liking to Shen Ruojing’s song. Things will be fine then.”

Chu Cimo sneered. “The netizens aren’t fools. Are they going to accept things just because you say so?”

Lu Cheng was quite reliable in his work and gave a solution to this. “I’ve contacted a few renowned songwriters, and they’ll head to Yang Zhiqin’s place right away. They’ll make changes to that song and when it’s released, we can just say that it was written by Shen Ruojing.”

Chu Cimo curled his lips. “That’s more like it… Don’t take on the job if you don’t have the capability to carry it out. Shen Ruojing only knows how to cause trouble for the family!”

He then let out a yawn and went upstairs to catch up on his sleep.

After Chu Cichen entered the study and had just sat down, he saw that Matriarch Chu had followed him into the room. She then walked up to him and took off his coat without saying anything. After that, she quickly pried open his shirt and looked in the direction of his right arm!
