Chapter 61
The conduct and atmosphere in the entertainment circle weren’t good. Newbies would always want to depend on the popularity of someone else to quickly become trending.
As a genuine singer, Yang Zhiqin was very disgusted by such behavior.
Moreover, she had a complicated expression when she looked at [Lone Silence]. This single word caused her heart to clench.
No one knew that Yang Zhiqin was very fond of Anonymous’s songs those years ago.
Anonymous’ songs were always filled with rich life experiences, and they seemed to be telling a story about different lives.
Some songs made one feel like they were galloping in the desert or marching on flat plains, whereas the others made you feel as though your soul was roaring or inspired the fuzzy feeling of love.
Yang Zhiqin grew mesmerized every time she heard Anonymous’s songs. Back then, the entire web was guessing that Anonymous was a forty-year-old-plus uncle…
Anonymous was very carefree. He wrote songs based on his mood and not the price. Hence, some small-time singers actually became popular throughout the country because they were lucky enough to get one of his songs.
Yang Zhiqin was already famous when she contacted Anonymous, and the other party directly accepted her request after hearing it was her. Anonymous also told her that the title for his next song was called [Lone Silence].
But later on, Teacher Anonymous decided to disappear.
This song also became a pity in her heart.
She wondered what experiences had Teacher Anonymous gone through in order to write [Lone Silence].
When the assistant saw that Yang Zhiqin was pondering, she continued, “Teacher Yang is correct. In the past, I kept thinking Teacher Jing was very casual and acted in any role they wanted him to act. He has no connections in the entertainment circle and is always alone. I didn’t expect that he would fall to the extent of begging others to let someone climb to a higher position.”
After hearing this, Yang Zhiqin fell silent.
She recalled Jing Zhen’s character and suddenly spoke, “Maybe I have been too biased. His daughter is only in her twenties, right? She is young and still has a lot of space to develop. Forget it, there’s no need for me to be so calculative with a junior. Go and contact Jing Zhen and tell her daughter to come over when I’m recording the song.”
The assistant smiled when she heard this.
Being able to learn from Yang Zhiqin on the spot when she was recording was definitely of great help to a composer. Many people wanted to witness a heavenly king or heavenly queen recording songs, but they didn’t have such an opportunity.
She couldn’t help but say, “Teacher Yang, you are the same as before…tough exterior but with a soft heart.”
The assistant then went to contact Jing Zhen. Yang Zhiqin took up Yun Zhongjun’s song and looked at it. It had been two years since she last sang and she was impatient, wanting to sing a new song. Hence, she had to first familiarize herself with the melody.
She subconsciously placed Shen Ruojing’s song to the side again.
–
“Go to the recording site the day after tomorrow? Got it.”
Shen Ruojing hung up the call from Jing Zhen and involuntarily sighed.
Some singers weren’t able to express the emotions that the composer wanted. So, they would need the composer to record the songs together.
She had thought that because Yang Zhiqin was a heavenly queen-level singer, she should have no problems with the song. Shen Ruojing didn’t expect that she would still have to make a trip down.
How troublesome.
She lifted her head and looked at Chu Yu who was currently sitting in front of her. “Do you know how to do this question?”
Chu Yu was dressed in a suit. He seriously answered, “I will know once mommy goes through it once more.”

“…”
Shen Ruojing scratched her hair and felt that she might turn bald. It seemed that she had to get the Z Corporation to research and develop a drug that could cure baldness!

She probingly asked, “Little Yu, do you miss your daddy?”
“Nope.”
“…” Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched. “How about your grandma?”
Chu Yu nodded. “Yes!”
“Should we visit her?”
Chu Yu’s eyes brightened. “Okay!”
Shen Ruojing then carefully asked, “Should we also stay in the Chu Manor for a few days?”
Chu Yu cocked his head. “Will mommy be staying with me?”
“Yup.” Shen Ruojing nodded. However, her gaze flickered and she didn’t dare to look at him. “I think… so?”
“I’ll go pack my stuff then~”
Shen Ruojing sighed with relief when she saw him swiftly dragging a small suitcase out. She could finally send Chu Yu to the Chu Manor to torture Chu Cichen.

Shen Ruojing then tied his suitcase to the back of her motorbike and sent him to the Chu Manor.
In the morning, Chu Cichen would go to the company.
Shen Ruojing also knew this, so she chose to come in the morning to avoid meeting with him.
When Matriarch Chu saw Chu Yu bringing his suitcase up the stairs, she had a shocked look on her face. “Little Yu is finally coming back to stay?”
“Mn.” Shen Ruojing coughed. “If you are free, maybe you can tutor him in math.”
Matriarch Chu started. Why would she need to do that? She glanced at Shen Ruojing again. Chu Yu’s math questions must be so difficult that Shen Ruojing couldn’t handle them.

Matriarch Chu nodded. “The private tutor has always been the one giving him tuition.”
Matriarch Chu must have also been “tormented” by Chu Yu’s easy questions, so she had hired a private tutor.
“That works.”
Shen Ruojing heaved a sigh of relief.
Matriarch Chu suddenly gossiped, “I heard you wrote a song and wanted Yang Zhiqin to sing it?”
Shen Ruojing nodded.
Matriarch Chu then spoke with worry, “Do you need me to get someone to smoothen and modify it for you?”
When she heard this news, her first reaction was the same as Lu Cheng’s. She felt that Lin Wanru’s fame as a gifted musician in Sea City was simply too great, and this caused Shen Ruojing to want to prove herself by creating some music.
However, Matriarch Chu was worried Shen Ruojing might be treated as a joke. Hence, she kindly reminded her, “I know a few people in the music industry, and they are major characters in the songwriting circle. Do you want me to introduce them to you?”
“No need.”
Shen Ruojing quickly rejected it. “I’m just playing around.”
If she joined the industry, how could she still slack?

(This girl is someone who wants face…) Matriarch Chu then nodded. “Sure. Let me know if you need any help.”
She hesitated a while and continued, “Actually, Cichen doesn’t care if a woman is good at music or not. You don’t have to feel too much pressure. If you want to play around in the music industry, just go and play to your heart’s content. There’s no need for you to compare yourself with others. Our family can support you.”
Shen Ruojing: “?”
Matriarch Chu stared at her and suddenly asked in a gossipy manner, “Ruojing, I heard that you and Cichen had a relationship back then. How was he like those years ago?”
Shen Ruojing was slightly startled.
Chu Cichen personally stated that they weren’t in a relationship, so she had never mentioned their past to anyone before.
Now that Matriarch Chu was asking this, it caused Shen Ruojing to be slightly shocked as a look of longing flashed in her eyes. “He was very gentle and considerate.”
When she lifted her head again, she saw Matriarch Chu having a look of disbelief on her face. “Are you talking about my son?”
Matriarch Chu then explained, “Since he was young, Cichen had a quiet personality and he wouldn’t easily reveal his emotions. Because he was rarely at home, his personality was colder than others. So, the two descriptions you used earlier don’t fit him at all.”
Matriarch Chu continued to ask with worry in her voice. “Ruojing, would you have recognized the wrong person?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Shen Ruojing lifted her head and her eyes gleamed. “No. Sometimes being silent and cold is being considerate and gentle.”
Matriarch Chu started. She then sat up straight. “Can you tell me how you guys got to know each other?”
(How did we get to know each other?)
Shen Ruojing was a little distracted. It felt like she had returned to that day six years ago.
