Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 479 Extra Chapter 1: Back to the Beginning 32
Shen Chumo sat in the classroom, her fingertips lightly tapping the table as she looked at the stock market information on her phone.
"It seems last night's performance went well." She murmured to herself, a smile playing on her lips.
"Chu Mo, can we have a proper talk?" Rong Jingtian walked up to Shen Chu Mo again at some point and said gently.
Many people in the classroom were watching them. Shen Chumo frowned slightly and looked coldly at Rong Jingtian: "Rong Jingtian, wasn't the lesson last time enough?"
Rong Jingtian, however, lowered his voice, which was unusual for him: "Do you want to know about your father's background?"
Shen Chumo's fingers suddenly paused, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "What did you say?"
"It's not convenient to say here." Rong Jingtian glanced around, giving a meaningful look to the gossiping classmates, "After school, the rare book section on the third floor of the library—nobody's there."
Shen Chumo stared into Rong Jingtian's eyes, trying to find any trace of deception.
But to her surprise, Rong Jingtian's eyes were unusually serious at this moment, even carrying a solemnity she had never seen before.
"Okay." She finally nodded, "But if this is yet another one of your tricks..."
"I swear, this time it's for real." Rong Jingtian held up three fingers.
Shen Chumo's pupils contracted slightly, but her expression remained calm: "Okay, see you after school."
After Rong Jingtian left, Shen Chumo fell into deep thought, wondering about her father's background.
Strangely enough, her father didn't have many relatives, and he always went back to Xu Qin's hometown for the Lunar New Year. After her father died, none of his relatives came to mourn him.
She always thought her father was an orphan and never dared to ask, for fear of touching a sore spot for him.
But how could Rong Jingtian know all this?
The school bell rang, and Shen Chumo walked to the library alone.
As she passed the chemistry lab, she noticed signs that the lock had been tampered with. She continued walking without making a sound, but then quickly slipped into an empty classroom at the corner.
As expected, a few minutes later, two strange men followed them furtively.
&34;Where are the people?&34;
"I clearly saw her walking this way..."
The two spoke in hushed tones, their voices carrying a distinct accent from other regions.
Shen Chumo narrowed her eyes—was this someone from the Murong family or the Wang family?
She quietly left through the back door and took a detour to the library.
The rare book section was eerily quiet. Shen Chumo pushed open the heavy wooden door and saw Rong Jingtian standing by the window with his back to her.
"You've come." Rong Jingtian turned around, a gentle smile on his face. "I knew you'd come."
Shen Chumo stood at the door without moving: "What do you know about my father?"
Rong Jingtian pulled a photograph from his pocket: "Do you recognize this person?"
Shen Chumo glanced at him and frowned, saying, "Isn't this Shen Jiancheng, the chairman of the Shen Group?"
The Shen Group is a well-known leading enterprise in the capital, and the Shen family is a prestigious family. Even the Murong family is inferior to the Shen family.
In her past life, Shen Chumo had also heard about the Shen family's affairs. The eldest branch of the Shen family died in a car accident, and after Shen Jiancheng's death, the Shen Group fell into the hands of the second branch of the Shen family.
However, none of the second branch of the Shen family were capable of taking on the responsibility, and the Shen family eventually declined as a result.
Rong Jingtian took out another photograph, pointing to a line of small print on the back: "Look closely, this is a photo from twenty-five years ago. Chairman Shen should have been only in his early thirties back then."
Shen Chumo's pupils constricted sharply—the man in the photo looked exactly like her father!
"You mean...?"
"That's right." Rong Jingtian lowered his voice, "Chairman Shen is your father's biological father, which means he's your biological grandfather."
Shen Chumo's fingertips trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Where's the evidence?"
Rong Jingtian took out a yellowed photocopy of a birth certificate from his pocket: "This is your father's birth record. It clearly states the names of your parents. I checked the Shen family genealogy, and it matches perfectly."
Shen Chumo took the document and saw that her father's name was prominently listed. In the column for her father, there was the current chairman of the Shen Group, Shen Jiancheng.
"Your father was an illegitimate child born unexpectedly after Chairman Shen was framed. Although he grew up in the Shen family, he wasn't valued, so he left the Shen family after graduating from university and never went back."
Shen Chumo never expected that her father had such a background.
"Why are you suddenly telling me all this?"
Rong Jingtian's eyes flickered: "Because the Shen family has recently encountered trouble... Chairman Shen is critically ill and is searching for a bloodline heir who has been living abroad. I followed the clues and unexpectedly discovered you."
Chu Mo, I know you're not doing well in the Jiang family. Since you're Chairman Shen's granddaughter, why not come back to Beijing and acknowledge your family?
Shen Chumo's eyes flickered as she tossed the photos and documents back to Rong Jingtian: "My father would rather never return to the Shen family, there must be a reason. I have no interest in the Shen family."
Rong Jingtian hurriedly stopped her: "Wait! The Shen family is currently embroiled in internal strife, and the second branch is resorting to any means to secure the inheritance. If you don't go back, the Shen Group will fall into their hands!"
"What does it have to do with me?" Shen Chumo's eyes were icy.
"What if your father's death was related to the second branch of the Shen family?" Rong Jingtian lowered his voice. "Don't you want to find out the truth about your father's death?"
"Think about it, was your father's sudden death really just an accident? After Chairman Shen became seriously ill, those people from the second wife's family destroyed old files everywhere, and your father's information disappeared the cleanest."
Rong Jingtian's story was so convincing that if Shen Chumo hadn't already investigated the cause of her father's death, she would have been completely fooled.
Shen Chumo turned around and looked at Rong Jingtian with a cold smile. "Rong Jingtian, you seem to be more anxious than I am, the person involved. Otherwise, tell me, what benefits do you get from my return to the Shen family?"
A look of hurt flashed in Rong Jingtian's eyes.
"Chu Mo, I know you have doubts about me, but I'm really doing this for your own good. The second branch of the Shen family is ruthless. They destroyed your father's information because they were afraid you would find out the truth. Your father's death is definitely related to them."
"Let me think about it." Shen Chumo gently tapped the table. "If I, an underage orphan, return to the Shen family, firstly, I have no emotional connection with my own grandfather, and secondly, the second branch of the Shen family will see me as a thorn in their side because of my presence."
In this situation, if I want to gain a foothold in the Shen family, I must rely on your help as an "insider," right?
Rong Jingtian's expression froze instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes: "Chu Mo, how could you think that..."
"Alright." Shen Chumo interrupted coldly, "My father may indeed have come from the Shen family, but he must have had his reasons for choosing to leave. As for you..."
