After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 577: Spin-off: Very Happy!

Shen Zheng took Xiao Ling to the Shen Family’s event and eventually would have to pick a time to visit Old Shen.

Suddenly, their good news spread throughout the Beijing circle.

Some who were against the Shen Family scoffed at the news; some even insinuated behind their backs that the Shen Family had climbed the ranks thanks to the Qi Family.

People said both good and bad things; the bad ones were not heard by the Shen Family, and they didn’t concern themselves with those.

If they had heard them, they would have had to retort a few times, otherwise, people might think the Shen Family was easy to bully.

As Shen Zheng led Xiao Ling into a scenic area, she couldn’t say she wasn’t nervous—she was about to meet an elder from the older generation.

Which one of them didn’t have a pair of keen eyes? The moment she appeared, they would be able to gauge her worth and authenticity at a glance.

Shen Zheng also felt Xiao Ling’s nervosity and tightened his grip on her hand, slowing his pace, “My grandfather is easy to talk to, he knows about you.”

“Ah?”

Xiao Ling didn’t know that Old Shen was aware of her existence.

Shen Zheng couldn’t help but smile, “He likes you a lot.”

“I’ve never met him; how do you know he will like me?” Xiao Ling eyed Shen Zheng skeptically.

Shen Zheng said, “I just know he will like you, and if he doesn’t, we’ll turn around and leave!”

Xiao Ling rolled her eyes.

They turned into a broad path ahead, lush and soothing to walk through.

As Shen Zheng looked up, he saw a group of people coming from not too far away and paused.

Xiao Ling followed his gaze and noticed a tall and beautiful woman in the lead who was talking to the men beside her, either portly or with an air of importance. Her presence did not lose to that of the men, in fact, she even overshadowed all the successful people’s aura.

Xiao Ling glanced sideways at Shen Zheng and saw him nod slightly to the beautiful woman who was looking their way.

It was clear they knew each other.

Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Know her?”

“Yep, Miss Kong San of the Kong Family, Kong Qianmu.”

“The Kong Family, huh,” Xiao Ling, though she hadn’t lived domestically, was still aware of several prominent families with deep roots.

Among them was the Kong Family.

The Kong Family pursued an official path and also had significant clout in that circle.

“Miss Kong San didn’t follow her family’s arrangements; she currently has her place in the business world. Our Shen Family has a project under negotiation with the Kong Family, and I’ve met with Miss Kong San several times.” Shen Zheng did not hide anything and laid it all out to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling gave him a sidelong glance, “I didn’t ask about any of that.”

“I wanted to explain.”

As the other party approached, Xiao Ling greeted her with a wide, warm smile.

Kong Qianmu’s gaze shifted from Shen Zheng to the delicate and graceful Xiao Ling, “So this is the future Young Mrs. Shen.”

“Hello, my name is Xiao Ling.”

“Kong Qianmu,” Kong Qianmu smiled and shook hands with Xiao Ling.

“If Miss Kong San has matters to attend to, we won’t disturb you.”

“Young Master Shen is here to see Old Shen, right? I just greeted Old Shen by the lake,” Kong Qianmu paused, then added, “My family’s old gentleman is also there.”

Caught off guard, Shen Zheng then said, “Then I’ll take Xiao Ling elsewhere for a stroll.”

Kong Qianmu nodded, smiling and bowing slightly to Xiao Ling again before turning to leave down a path on the left with the group of men following her.

Xiao Ling had a good impression of Kong Qianmu, “She’s very attractive, and she seems to have a good personality too.”

“Indeed, she’s not bad, but I think you’re more beautiful than she is!”

“Just more beautiful?” Xiao Ling asked with a smile.

“You’re more capable than her too; you wouldn’t lose to her if you entered the business world,” Shen Zheng followed her lead.

He was being genuinely honest.

Xiao Ling wasn’t one to be petty. Kong Qianmu’s excellence wasn’t false, and Xiao Ling was very clear on her own worth.

Shen Zheng took Xiao Ling around for half an hour before calling Old Shen, only going over after learning that the big shots had left.

Old Shen was fishing by the lake.

Upon hearing footsteps, he walked from the lakeside to the pavilion.

“Grandpa.”

“Mm, I heard you’ve been running around every day. Although your health has improved, you can’t tire yourself out every day and make the family worry.”

“Yes, I’ll pay attention.”

Old Shen squinted at Xiao Ling with a smile, “You bring someone here, you stinker, and you don’t introduce her?”

“Xiao Ling, this is Grandpa. Grandpa, this is Xiao Ling,” Shen Zheng finished introducing, then glanced at Old Shen, who was acting relatively normal.

“Hello, Grandpa!” Xiao Ling was somewhat restrained.

“Hello! Have a seat,” Old Shen’s smile grew brighter: “This kid suddenly brings you here, and I wasn’t prepared, so I’ve just quickly prepared a little gift for you.”

Old Shen brought out a small box, an exquisitely simple box, still pressed with a thick red envelope.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling hesitantly looked towards Shen Zheng.

“Take it if Grandpa gives it to you,” Shen Zheng said. “If you don’t, he’ll just put it back on the shelf to gather dust.”

“The kid’s right, take it. This was passed down from Shen Zheng’s grandma. It’s been lying vacant for so long, now it finally has an owner.” When Old Shen mentioned Grandma Shen, a fleeting trace of nostalgia flickered in his eyes.

With both of their gazes upon her, Xiao Ling received the box, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Accepting the gift was like acknowledging her as the future granddaughter-in-law of the Shen Family.

Old Shen’s face was even more filled with smiles!

“From now on, you two live well!”

“We will live well,” Shen Zheng quickly responded.

Xiao Ling glanced sideways at him, as if to say, when did I agree to anything with you.

Shen Zheng smiled and took her hand, his gaze silently conveying more than words.

Xiao Ling withdrew her hand, holding the small box like a precious treasure.

Seeing this, Old Shen’s amusement deepened in his eyes.

The scenic area had a secluded spot specially for dining. Old Shen had arranged for a small table laden with sumptuous dishes to be set up for lunch, intending for Xiao Ling and him to enjoy together.

During this time, Xiao Ling gradually relaxed and began to chat with Old Shen. Having been through a lot outside, she could speak fluently on many topics, so there was no risk of awkward silence.

Moreover, someone shrewd like Old Shen wouldn’t let the young people feel left out.

Old Shen had thought the young lady wouldn’t have much experience, but some of the things she said even surprised him.

Glancing at Shen Zheng, who was sitting nearby and not talking much, Old Shen gave him a look.

Lucky stinker.

Shen Zheng raised an eyebrow at Old Shen. What kind of look was that? Was he looking down on him?

Xiao Ling was oblivious to the silent exchange between the grandson and grandfather. She had previously worried about getting along with the elder, but now it seemed the old man was more open-minded than those of the younger generation!

Extremely easy to get along with!

This meeting left both parties very satisfied, and when they left, Xiao Ling still had a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Shen Zheng felt reassured.

“I told you, Grandpa is easy to get along with and likes you a lot,” Shen Zheng said. “I wasn’t wrong, was I?”

“Grandpa is indeed easy to get along with,” unlike the Xiao Family bunch, all so calculative and vile at the first sight.

The Shen Family was different; every member made her feel at ease. No wonder they managed to achieve their current status in such a united and harmonious family; it wasn’t without reason.

Looking at the man she had chosen for herself, Xiao Ling felt even better about her choice!

“What are you smiling about?” Shen Zheng saw her looking at him with a sly smile and knew she was up to no good.

Xiao Ling quickened her pace, turned around, and walked backward, with a mischievous smile spreading across her face, showing off her playful charm.

“Ah Zhen, Grandpa just told me how you used to wet your pants in primary school!”

Shen Zheng’s handsome face suddenly darkened, and through gritted teeth he squeezed out a sentence, “It wasn’t wetting my pants; someone spilled water. That old man, always exposing people’s shortcomings!”
