Chapter 569: A Chat Between Father and Daughter
Translator: Lord bluefire
Shen Ruojing had always been very angry with the person who plotted against her behind the scenes.
She didn’t like a manipulated life like this.
If she hadn’t met the real Chu Cichen that night, she and Song Chen might have been unclear about their relationship for the rest of their lives, right?
So when she mistakenly thought that it was Princess Consort Yan who plotted against her , Shen Ruojing didn’t feel guilty about sending Princess Consort Yan to her death, which showed how much she despised those who plotted against her.
That was also why she suspected Jing Zhen but didn’t confront him for a long time.
But today, Jing Zhen took action against Song Chen again!
Shen Ruojing’s face turned cold, and she stared at her father intently.
Her mother had said that she should follow her heart, so when she found out that it was her father, she didn’t dare to believe that he was the one who had plotted against her.
She stared at Jing Zhen. “Father, why did you plot against me?”
Jing Zhen was silent for a long time and finally said, “Because I need an heir. You already know this reason, don’t you?”
He looked at Shen Ruojing and said slowly, “1 know you will hate me, but I have no choice.”
“You’re lying.”
Shen Ruojing stepped forward and stared at him. ‘When I found out it was you, I thought I had misjudged you. But mom told me to look at people with my heart. She has always believed in you, and so do I. So, I don’t believe you did this just for a child!”
Jing Zhen didn’t expect Shen Ruojing to say this, and he was slightly stunned.
That moment of surprise didn’t escape Shen Ruojing’s eyes.
Shen Ruojing stepped forward. “Father, I’ve known you had secrets for many years, but I never chose to ask you about them. Do you know why?”
Jing Zhen. “Why?”
“Because I know that whatever you do, you won’t be bad to me or mom.” Shen Ruojing stared into his eyes.
Those peach blossom eyes, identical to Jing Zhen’s, were always calm and restrained, but at this moment, Shen Ruojing’s eyes were red. She stared at Jing Zhen and said, “Father, this time, I want to ask you, why? Is there anything our family can’t face together?”
Jing Zhen’s mouth opened slightly, and after a moment of silence, he finally sighed. “Ruojing, you’re too smart.”
“So, don’t hide it from me.” Shen Ruojing took another step forward. “Can’t you just tell me directly what you have to say?”
Jing Zhen sighed. “If I say that I nurtured Song Chen and sent him to your side just to keep you company, would you believe me?” Hearing this, Shen Ruojing was stunned.
She looked at Jing Zhen incredulously. “What?’
Jing Zhen lowered his gaze. “Do you know? Your condition was very bad during that half-year period six years ago. So, I specifically found a psychologist to get in touch with you… it was Ye Lu’s father, Ye Wei. He told me that you were suffering from severe depression.”
Shen Ruojing furrowed her eyebrows.
She knew what happened. At that time, she had seen too many people die from the No. 5 neurotoxin, and her mentality collapsed.
She felt like a criminal, which was why she told Dugu Xiao and Chu Cichen that she wanted to kill the person who created the toxin.
During that time, she was under a lot of psychological pressure.
Sometimes, when she thought of death, she felt like it was a kind of relief.
Before Song Chen appeared, she had picked up a knife several times and placed it on her wrist… But everything changed after she met Chu Cichen. When she met him again abroad and heard him speak, she recognized him. His voice could always give her hope in despair…
Jing Zhen continued, “At that time, your only hope was Chu Cichen. I tried several times to bring him back to accompany you, but I failed. So, I found Song Chen and asked him to accompany you out of that dark period under the guise of Chu Cichen.’
Shen Ruojing suddenly realized. Song Chen’s companionship during that half year did give her hope for life. She pursed her lips and spoke again, “Then Song Chen proposed to me and arranged the hotel…”
Jing Zhen sighed. “I know your personality. If you knew he wasn’t Chu Cichen, you wouldn’t have agreed. But at the time, I was desperate, and there was nothing I could do. Unfortunately, Song Chen lost control.”
Hearing this, Shen Ruojing was startled. Jing Zhen then looked at her and said, “Song Chen didn’t follow orders and proposed to you on his own. He even tried to have a child with you. After I found out about this, I had Old Bai arrest him. But I didn’t expect that you would actually meet the real Chu Cichen.”
Old Bai referred to the Old Master Bai. Shen Ruojing then furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “What happened then?’
“After that, everything exceeded my expectations. After we arrested Song Chen that night, he escaped and was only recently found in the capital.” Jing Zhen rubbed his forehead.
Previously, Old Bai had gone to the filming location to find him and say that something had happened because they had found the runaway Song Chen.
Jing Zhen didn’t want to talk about Song Chen anymore and continued, “After you got pregnant with triplets, I actually knew about it all along. But your condition was not good at the time, and the Doom Organization was also targeting me. I thought that if the Doom Organization targeted me, at least, one child would be safe with Chu Cichen, so I never told you.”
When the Doom Organization was mentioned, Shen Ruojing understood what was going on, but she still furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “So what is the deal with Song Chen? Why is he so similar to Chu Cichen?”
