485 Your Child!
The queen was slightly stunned when she heard this and asked, “What daughter? Do you have a daughter?”
Jing Zhen, who thought he was speaking with Old Master Bai, choked for a moment before he angrily said, “I meant that Miss Shen from the Shen family is only in her twenties now and could even be my daughter. You are making a fuss for nothing!”
The queen smiled and said, “I have met Miss Shen before. I like her very much, and she has even given birth to three children from the same pregnancy. She is very blessed. Our royal family is now dwindling in numbers, and we need to have more children to boost our popularity.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhen sneered and said, “As the one who caused the dwindling in the royal family, how do you have the cheek to say that?”
However, the queen was very gentle with him and asked, “Well, you have been away for more than twenty years. When are you coming back home?”
“I won’t go back to that home,” Jing Zhen said firmly.
“What about the family’s business empire? How can you just abandon it like that? How can you justify it to the people of Country A? If Country A riots and causes unrest, can you justify it to your ancestors?” The queen’s attitude became stronger.
“It’s you who should apologize to them! I’ve said it before, whoever wants the throne can have it! I don’t want it.”
The queen persisted. “Then send me a child. I won’t stop you from doing anything else.”
“No.” Jing Zhen sneered. “I suffered when I was young, and I won’t let my children suffer like that.”
The queen’s attitude remained strong. “It doesn’t matter. Just because you don’t send me a child doesn’t mean that I won’t get a child from you.”
She laughed. “If you come back, you will be the crown prince. If you don’t come back, then your child will be the crown prince.”
After saying this, the queen hung up directly.
Jing Zhen, who was in the drama studio, listened to the beeping sound from his phone and narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly.
His child?
Could it be that the queen already knew that Jingjing was his daughter?
Although Country A was a patriarchal society, back in the day, a queen had actually ruled the country. Could it be that everything the queen was doing was to force Shen Ruojing to go back and inherit the throne?
Jing Zhen tapped his slender fingers on the sofa as he instinctively thought about the problem.
If the queen wanted to target the Shen family, she could just confiscate their assets directly. Why did she have to spread such rumors? It felt more like she was putting pressure on the Shen family!
As Jing Zhen was pondering, Shen Qianhui walked in.
She moved lightly and poured him a glass of milk. But when she saw his actions and the slight frown on his face, she gently walked to his side. After rubbing his brow, she asked, “Is something bothering you?”
Jing Zhen’s chin tensed.
He suddenly looked at Shen Qianhui and asked, “Qianhui, do you remember when Jingjing was kidnapped by human traffickers?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhui’s face immediately turned pale.
She stood up suddenly and asked, “Has something happened to Jingjing again?”
Jing Zhen quickly grabbed her hand and said, “No, no… She’s doing fine. I heard that she moved to live with the Shen family.”
“That’s good.” Shen Qianhui patted her chest and then sighed. “Husband, do you know? All mothers in the world always hope for their children to be safe and well. If life could be exchanged, do you know what would happen?”
Jing Zhen shook his head.
Shen Qianhui said, “If life could be exchanged, then the rooftop of the hospital would be filled with mothers.”
This sentence stunned Jing Zhen slightly.
Shen Qianhui then held his hand and said, “Jingjing suffered so much when she was young. I would rather it be me who suffered instead of her. Even if it means I would live ten years less or have to die early, I don’t want Jingjing to experience those things again.”
Jing Zhen tightened his jaw.
He lowered his gaze and said, “So if it happens again, you want me to prioritize her, right?”
“Of course. Do you even need to ask?” Shen Qianhui smiled. “If both Jingjing and I fell into the water, promise me that you will save Jingjing first.”
Jing Zhen held her hand and said, “Okay.”
He looked at Shen Qianhui’s beautiful face and innocent eyes.
Jing Zhen was born into the royal family and was destined to experience power struggles. Back then, he was always surrounded by people wearing masks and fake smiles.
But Shen Qianhui was never like that.
She was always sincere to everyone, taking care of others first no matter what she did. That was why Jing Zhen was attracted to her when he came to China years ago.
He silently sighed.
He hoped that no one in the Shen family would disappoint him, and he hoped that they would never have to go that far.

Shen Manor.
Chu Cichen was handling business in Shen Ruojing’s study, and he had overseas meetings every afternoon…
At this time, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a message from Chu Cimo. [Big brother, I know that the Shen family is being targeted now, and our family is also affected. Don’t worry, when I join Valor Gate, I will bring people from Valor Gate to live in the Shen Manor. Let’s see if that queen dares to be so arrogant!]
Chu Cichen stared at his phone, and his lips were slightly curled as he felt that his younger brother had grown up.
He replied with one word. [Okay.]

In the underground fighting arena.
Chu Cimo was getting ready, looking at the fighting ring.
For the past month, he had been learning boxing skills here. That, combined with his agile body movements, he finally made it to the finals!
Today, he would compete with another person for the championship. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
If he won, he would be able to rejoin the Valor Gate. At that time, who would dare to underestimate the Chu and Shen families?
(Let that old woman bring her guards to attack the Shen family and see what happens!)
He threw his phone to his fifth senior brother and stretched a bit before getting on the stage.
He had thoroughly researched and thought of many ways to counter the person he was competing against today. It wouldn’t be difficult to beat this opponent.
As Chu Cimo thought about this, he jumped onto the stage.
For a whole month of competition, he always fought with great enthusiasm. As a result, his martial arts skills made a qualitative leap in terms of improvement!
Everyone below was watching him, including his fifth senior brother.
The fifth senior brother’s eyes were filled with excitement as he knew that his talented young junior brother had returned. In just one month, he had come this far. It was no wonder that he was praised for resembling the legendary little martial uncle when he first joined Valor Gate.
Today, he would shine with his own glory!
Although there were many twists and turns during the final match and Chu Cimo did not have an easy time, he won the championship in the end!
The fifth senior brother immediately applauded vigorously and rushed onto the stage, giving Chu Cimo an excited embrace.
His little junior brother had returned! He was about to rejoin Valor Gate!!
The grand martial uncle who hosted the fighting match also witnessed this final match, and when he looked at Chu Cimo, his eyes showed an appreciative look for talent.
He smiled and went on stage. “Welcome back.”
These words made Chu Cimo straighten his back.
His eyes were hot. He wanted to say something but was unable to speak.
The helplessness he felt when he chose to quit and the excitement of returning now made him want to scream for a moment.
He looked at the grand martial uncle and suddenly knelt, bowing his head and saying, “Greetings, Eldest Martial Uncle.”
The grand martial uncle extended his hand. “Get up. From today on, you are a disciple of Valor Gate. You must be cautious, follow the rules of Valor Gate…”
Before the grand martial uncle could finish speaking, the eldest senior brother suddenly walked in and said, “Martial Uncle, he cannot join Valor Gate!”
The fifth senior brother immediately shouted, “Why not? He is the champion! The champion automatically joins Valor Gate!”
The eldest senior brother looked at Chu Cimo.
His gaze made Chu Cimo feel panic in his heart. At the next moment, he heard the eldest senior brother saying. “Because he is none other than the Rooftop Gentleman. He is a thief, an imposter who tries to confuse people. How can our Valor Gate tolerate such a person?”
