After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 574: Side Story: Can’t Escape the Palm of Your Hand

The news of Yanyan’s pregnancy joy reached the Shen Family, and they were so delighted that they prepared a banquet and asked Yanyan to visit the Shen Mansion!

Yanyan still had work in her hands; even with the Shen Family’s happiness, they would have to wait a few more days.

“What’s the matter with Xiao Zheng recently? Why isn’t he staying at home? I just told him about Yanyan’s joyous news, and he just hummed twice without any response.”

Gu Ting was somewhat dissatisfied with her son’s reaction.

Shen Zuo pulled Gu Ting into his arms and gently persuaded her, “Last time someone spread rumors about Miss Kong San and him; he was unhappy. He’s leading projects outside to avoid any suspicion.”

Thinking about the Kong Family’s great influence, indeed, if provoked, it would be a troublesome issue.

Ever since she had taken the matter to heart and had her revenge in another setting, Madam Kong from the Kong Family was still not willing to let it go.

She determinedly involved the Shen Family with Qianmu from other aspects.

Luckily, Kong Qianmu wasn’t someone to be trifled with; he immediately dealt with that daring Madam Kong, who is now secluded deep within the Kong Mansion.

That’s why Madam Kong hadn’t been seen lately, but even so, the previous commotion had affected Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng deliberately worked on projects outside to avoid conflicts with other members of the Kong Family.

“Miss Kong San is also capable,” Gu Ting mentioned Miss Kong San, admiring her despite herself.

“If she weren’t capable, she wouldn’t have survived to this day in such a family,” Shen Zuo said, “Sometimes, people need to have some edge to them.”

Otherwise, outsiders might think they are easy to bully.

Gu Ting knew this wasn’t Kong Qianmu’s fault, yet she was extremely worried about her son’s future.

Yanyan was already pregnant, and her son still hadn’t brought anyone home.

Worry!

Shen Zuo knew what she was worried about, stroked her brow, and said with a smile, “Shall we find time to go out for a trip?”

“Who’s in the mood for playing at this time? You don’t even look at your son, he’s not young anymore, but he’s not looking for a wife.” Gu Ting was anxious in her heart, but she didn’t urge Shen Zheng on the surface.

She didn’t want to pressure Shen Zheng too much, lest he just find any woman to appease them like other people did.

“Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; we should just live our lives well. The children’s matters should be their own concern,” they couldn’t worry more than that.

Hearing Shen Zuo’s words, Gu Ting let out a long sigh.

Shen Zheng was still in Beijing but needed to travel to the neighboring city for the project; he would still run back to Beijing every one or two days.

He had several private residences in Beijing, which the Shen Family knew about.

Most of the time, he lived outside, only returning home frequently because of his mother.

The Shen Mansion was also inhabited by clan members.

Unless there was something important, Shen Zheng generally would not return to the Shen Mansion.

Today he flew to a southern city to deal with major lingering problems of the company.

As soon as he landed, he dived into work without stopping.

When he had downtime, he would sometimes flip through his silent phone.

It had been so long, and she hadn’t called him again.

He didn’t know what she was doing or what her real world was like now.

“Mr. Shen,” someone knocked and came into his temporary office.

This place was a branch of the Shen Family, located in the center of this southern city, but only occupied three floors.

Inside this tall building, many companies coexisted.

The counterpart with the problem was also within this building.

So dealing with the issue would not require too much running around.

“What is it?”

“A company downstairs has caused some trouble, and someone has even threatened to jump off a window ledge.”

Shen Zheng frowned, “That has nothing to do with us.”

“Well, it doesn’t directly concern us, but it sort of does. Our partner is involved in this matter…” the general manager of the branch wiped his sweat and chuckled nervously.

Shen Zheng’s frown deepened.

Just as he was about to say something, more noise came from downstairs, and the office was intermittently filled with discussion.

“It seems someone is ill, and someone else has gotten hurt; the situation is critical.”

“Let’s see, what does the chat group say?”

“A video even came out, oh my god! Isn’t that the young master from the big corporation? Always driving fancy cars around here to pick up girls. Just two days ago, I saw him. His family is wealthy and powerful, and the key point is he’s pretty good-looking too…”

“From the Ying Family?”

“Exactly…”

A few women huddled together and started gossiping.

When someone noticed Shen Zheng standing at the door, they quickly nudged the others who were still chatting excitedly.

Shen Zheng just glanced over and then looked away, saying to the person beside him, “Let’s go down and check it out.”

The general manager hurriedly pressed the elevator button.

When Shen Zheng arrived downstairs at the company and had just stepped out of the elevator, a heavy object came flying toward him.

Just as it was about to hit, Shen Zheng’s face contorted with disdain as he backed into the elevator, but it was too late.

“Bang!”

A figure from the left dashed over even faster, kicking the heavy object that was headed for Shen Zheng out of the way.

The “heavy object” that hit the ground groaned.

Staring in shock, it turned out to be a person!

Shen Zheng turned to the person who had kicked the “heavy object” away, and the person was tilting their head, smiling at him, “Shen Zheng, long time no see.”

“You…”

Shen Zheng looked at Xiao Ling in her professional attire, and his eyes gradually widened.

“I came here today for an interview. Clearly, this company doesn’t welcome me. I was just about to leave when this incident happened.”

Shen Zheng’s gaze fixed solely on Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling saw him staring blankly and laughed, “Well, aren’t you going to invite me over to your place to sit?”

Shen Zheng snapped back to his senses, shifted to the side, and his throat felt a bit dry, “Are you okay?”

“I’ve gone straight now,” Xiao Ling said.

Shen Zheng moved his lips, and after a moment, he said, “You didn’t have to…”

“I wanted to. It was time to leave that place,” she mentioned. She now didn’t lack the money, had made arrangements for everyone, and they didn’t need her to do anything anymore. Instead, it was her that had something to long for back in the country.

So she returned.

To live a normal life.

Shen Zheng stared deeply at her, then suddenly pulled her into a hug.

Xiao Ling was taken aback but then embraced his waist in return, “Do I still have a place with you?”

“I’ve always had a place for you, Xiao Ling. I’ve thought it through, no matter what, I can’t escape from your palm. So why should I lie to myself.”

Xiao Ling rubbed against him contentedly and stepped out of his embrace. She was just about to say something when the elevator door, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and a slender young figure appeared in front of them.

Seeing the girl inside, as elegant as clear jade, with an air that surpassed that of an adult’s serenity, both were taken aback.

Not just them, but everyone else also paused.

The noisy chatter came to a sudden halt at that moment.

“What are you doing here! You little bastard…” an unpleasant voice came through, and everyone looked over to see the handsome young man holding his injured forehead, glaring with disgust at the girl who’d come out of the elevator.

The girl was only around thirteen or fourteen years old, but the aura of transcendence she carried made her seem more composed than adults.

The girl’s cool gaze fell upon the young man, and she spoke with a refined voice like orchids, “I’m just here to save someone.”

“You…” The young man was about to sneer when suddenly several doctors hurried towards the girl with faces full of joy.

“Miss Ying, you’ve come!”

The girl nodded, ignoring the young man whose face had turned ugly, and followed the doctors to rescue someone.

Xiao Ling came to her senses and pointing at the girl in front of her, said, “She…”

From Xiao Ling’s reaction, it was obvious she knew the girl.

“You know her?”

Xiao Ling shook her head. She had met the girl once at a family recognition event, but she hadn’t looked anything like this at the time.

For a brief moment just now, Xiao Ling thought she had mistaken her for somebody else.

It was only when she heard someone address her as Miss Ying and saw that small birthmark like a lucky cloud on her pale wrist did she confirm it was the same little girl she had seen before.
