Chapter 81: Provoke (1)

It was Chen Shu’s first time to look at Ye Sui’s eyes for so long.
Soon, he discovered that they were different from those of other people.

Ye Sui’s eyes were clear, quiet, and pure.

Second after second passed.
It seemed to be extremely slow, yet too fast at the same time.

Chen Shu had been thinking back to Ye Suis’s question just now.
Did she ask how he felt about eating the cake? Or about the moment he looked at her?

If it was the latter, Chen Shu would say yes.

Amid Chen Shu’s hesitation, Ye Sui immediately felt anxious.
She quickly changed her mind and even deprived him of the opportunity to answer.

“Sweet food secretes dopamine.
It’d be abnormal if your heart doesn’t speed up.
Hahaha, isn’t it funny?” Ye Sui laughed ridiculously.

Chen Shu still had a sweet to creamy taste in his mouth.
His eyes remained on Ye Sui, but he did not answer.

Ye Sui almost wanted to sew her mouth shut.
If she had time to go back, she promised not to ask this question.

Chen Shu stared at her again for a while before taking his eyes back.
He obviously did not like these cakes in front of him but insisted on eating.

At the same time, he refuted in his heart that his heartbeat had not accelerated because of these cakes.

Ye Sui: “…”

Chen Xiu came to Chang Ying’s house.
Earlier, Chang Ying wanted him to buy her a necklace.
However, not only did he not buy it, even the necklace she fancied was in Ye Sui’s hands.

Chang Ying was angry when she returned and felt that she was being compared to Ye Sui.
In a bid to lift her mood, Chen Xiu bought many necklaces from several brands for her.

But Chang Ying was still not happy.
She felt that even if there were more of these necklaces, they would remain inferior to Ye Sui’s necklace.
Nevertheless, since Chen Xiu had done his best, she could only maintain a smile.

Chang Ying asked, “Do you think Ye Sui’s necklace was really bought by your little uncle?”

Chen Xiu also felt strange.
“According to my little uncle’s financial conditions, he could not possibly afford this necklace.” A product of a famous designer, even if he had money, he might not be able to buy it.

Chang Ying thought for a long time and found a good reason.
“Maybe Ye Sui’s company gave it to her to keep up appearances.
She just deliberately said that Chen Shu gave it to her.”

Chen Xiu nodded.
“It’s possible.”

Although Chen Shu had mentioned to the family he was making some investments, it was definitely a small amount.
He did not believe Chen Shu had such financial resources.

Seemingly thinking of something, Chen Xiu’s expression suddenly dimmed.
“How could a bad omen man like him have any ability after he killed my father?”

Chang Ying nodded.

Chen Xiu continued, “Did I tell you that Chen Shu and my father are half-brothers?”

His father died the year Chen Shu was born.
How could it be such a coincidence?

“Chen Shu’s mother, Sheng Yun, was my grandpa’s second wife.
When my uncle was young, she left the house.”

Chen Xiu still had to go to the Weizhi Group to talk about the movie in the afternoon.
After speaking with Chang Ying, he left and soon arrived at the Weizhi Group.
A pleasant discussion later, Chen Xiu was about to leave when Qin Xin’s secretary passed by him.

The secretary had just left Qin Xin’s office.
She was going to make coffee while mumbling unconsciously, “What kind of coffee does President Chen like?”

When Chen Xiu keenly heard the words ‘President Chen’, he immediately reached out, stopped Qin Xin’s secretary, and asked, “Who did you say is in Chief Qin’s office?”

“President Chen of Huarui.”

Chen Xiu’s head turned quickly, and he said, “Please help me convey a few words to Chief Qin.
I want to talk to her face-to-face.”

He had to admit that even if President Chen had rejected him, it was nothing compared to the enormous benefits Huarui Company could bring.

The secretary went in with the coffee and passed on Chen Xiu’s words.
Qin Xin nodded and signaled that she knew.

Chen Shu heard that Chen Xiu was coming to see Qin Xin.
His expression changed, becoming unknown.

Outside, Chen Xiu couldn’t wait to come in.
He sorted out his clothes first, then raised his hand to knock on the door.
A few seconds later, Qin Xin’s voice came from the other side, “Please come in.”

 

Chapter 81: Provoke (2)

As soon as Chen Xiu entered the door, he looked straight at the man opposite Qin Xin.

He really wanted to know the identity of President Chen, who acted extremely mysteriously and low-key at the auction.

The man had his back to him, so he could not see his face.
His back was straight, and his clothes were neat, a work of art at first glance.

Chen Xiu felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, but he could not put his finger on it.
From his angle, he could only glimpse at President Chen’s slender hands with prominent veins.

Although he had not seen Huarui’s president’s face yet, Chen Xiu still felt that he was remarkably distinguished.

Chen Xiu’s actions were demeaning, but having come all the way here, how could he just leave? Chen Xiu pretended not to know that this person was the President of Huarui and asked directly, “Chief Qin, I wonder who is this?”

Qin Xin: “President Chen of Huarui.”

Qin Xin felt that Chen Xiu was not ill-mannered.
He knew that she was talking with Chen Shu, yet he came in regardless.

Qin Xin euphemistically hinted to him to leave.
“I have something to talk about with President Chen.”

Chen Xiu was unwilling to leave, but since Qin Xin had said so, he had to give up.
“Then I will see you next time.”

Before Chen Xiu left, he gave Chen Shu another look and walked out of the office.

Chen Xiu’s eyes and movements were all caught by Qin Xin.
She looked at Chen Shu.
“It seems that the young master of Chen Group wants to see you very much.”

Chen Shu didn’t speak.
He looked down, his expression indistinct.
Taking the coffee cup, he took a slow sip.
The steam of the smoke curled up and blurred his outline.

Even if he had almost met Chen Xiu just now, his expression did not fluctuate.

Qin Xin: “Do you know him?”

Although both Chen Shu and Chen Xiu were surnamed Chen, Qin Xin never thought that they would be relatives.
Old Master Chen had never announced to the public that he also had a luckless young son.

People only know that Chen Xiu was outstanding, but they were unaware that there was another hidden Chen Shu.

Chen Shu gently put down the teacup and raised his head, his eyes calm, as if they could not be stirred by anything.

In the silence, Chen Shu’s voice fell lightly, “I don’t.”

Qin Xin had just asked casually.
Since Chen Shu said so, she did not pursue the matter, and the two continued to talk about things.

At the same time, Ye Sui received a call from Sheng Yun again, saying that she had something to talk to her, but she could not speak on the phone, hoping they could meet.

Ye Sui hung up the phone and added Sheng Yun to the blacklist.
She didn’t know how that woman had gotten her phone number, but since she could obtain her and Chen Shu’s address, their numbers shouldn’t be a big deal.

Ye Sui refused to answer Sheng Yun’s call.
When Sheng Yun could not contact Chen Shu, in the end, she decided to go to Ye Sui’s company.

A black car was parked downstairs at Ye Sui’s company, which was in an office building.
Sheng Yun got out of the car, walked into the elevator, and pressed the respective floor.

Sheng Yun stopped at the entrance with a particular smile on her lips. This really is a small company.

At the front desk, a woman walked in with a graceful and noble temperament, her voice gentle.
“I’m looking for Ye Sui.”

The receptionist did not know Sheng Yun and Ye Sui’s relationship, so Sheng Yun was asked to wait in the reception room.

After a while, the door of the reception room opened.
Ye Sui’s eyes turned cold when she saw who the person was inside.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Yun was so pestering.
She even came to her company after her home and phone calls.

Ye Sui walked in, closed the door, and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Sheng Yun smiled and took off her sunglasses.
“Ye Sui, let’s talk for a moment.”

“I thought we were done talking.”

Sheng Yun did not answer but just asked her openly, “Ye Sui, don’t you want to be popular in the entertainment world?”

Ye Sui raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
The opening remark today was quite special.
She wanted to see her purpose.

“I checked your information.
You signed this small company, so there was no recognition when you debuted.

“You only gained attention because of Little Chang Ying’s title, but it’s a pity that you got all the infamy.

“In the entertainment circle, those who are not popular are those who have no status.
I think you should be familiar with the days of suffering.”

 

Chapter 80: Provoke (3)

Sheng Yun’s superior attitude was evident, unconsciously revealing the arrogance in her bones.
She criticized all kinds of embarrassing things before Ye Sui rose to fame.

But for Ye Sui, it was all before she transmigrated and didn’t poke her shortcomings at all.

Seeing that Ye Sui did not refute, Sheng Yun thought she agreed with her words.
She then continued her rant, “Your resources just got better this year after this small company was acquired by Huarui.

“But there are so many artists under Huarui; why would they want to hold you?” Sheng Yun leaned over.
“Have you ever wondered how far you would go if you had a strong backer?”

Sheng Yun said seriously, “I want to set up a film studio for you.”

Ye Sui smiled.
Now she knew the reason why Sheng Yun had said a bunch of irrelevant things.
It turned out that it was all a buildup for this.

“Your contract with Huarui, no matter how much penalty is required, I can afford it.

“In the future, the film studio will only have you as an artist.
I will invest in any movie you want to make, making you the hottest female star.”

For a female star, after entering the entertainment industry, the next step was to become famous.
Otherwise, why did Ye Sui make those absurd moves before she made it big?

Sheng Yun believed that after listing such conditions, how could Ye Sui not be tempted?

Sheng Yun finally got to the point.
She was silent for a while, and her eyes became a little moist.
“I don’t want anything, just want my son to come back to me.”

Ye Sui looked on coldly.
Sheng Yun first enticed her with benefits and then used maternal love as a killing tactic that sounded so real.

Her words sounded so fake.
Why did she leave if she wanted her son with her?

Chen Shu was the youngest son of Chen He, the president of the Chen Group, and had the same age difference as his two older brothers.

Chen He’s ex-wife gave birth to two sons and became ill soon after.
Sheng Yun was the second wife, the result of a business marriage.
She had someone she liked, so after giving birth to Chen Shu, she suffered from postpartum depression.

Sheng Yun had made many efforts to leave the Chen family.

Ye Sui sneered and asked, “How is the man you remarried?”

Sheng Yun’s face, who was still playing a good mother just now, changed.
How did Ye Sui know?

Sheng Yun thought that Ye Sui was just a female star in the entertainment industry.
She knew everything about Ye Sui, but she knew nothing about herself.
The two of them had different standings.

Ye Sui’s voice was faint, but it was like a sharp blade that cut through her heart.
“After raising someone else’s son for so many years, now that person does not recognize you as a mother, isn’t it?”

Ye Sui had also found someone to investigate Sheng Yun.
The Chen family had an extensive network of contacts.
Utilizing them, within a short period, she grasped where Sheng Yun had been in the past 20 years.

After leaving the Chen family, she had filed for divorce and returned to her true love.
However, the guy already had a child, so they raised the child together.

After her true love’s death, Sheng Yun and the child were all part of a huge legacy.
Nonetheless, the person had never recognized her as her mother from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Sui knew that Sheng Yun’s money to set up a film studio was from that legacy.

Sheng Yun’s money, Ye Sui didn’t beg for it, nor did she want it.

“Chen Shu is almost 30 years old, but he hasn’t done anything yet and is still under the care of the Chen family.” Sheng Yun said, “Ye Sui, if you are the one to support the family in the future—”

Seeing her earlier performance, Ye Sui was already irritated.
Now that she heard these words, she was utterly enraged.
Why would she be concerned about Chen Shu like this?

Just because she gave birth to Chen Shu, did she have the right to judge him so casually?

Sheng Yun couldn’t complete her sentence, having been interrupted by Ye Sui.

“Hasn’t done anything?” Ye Sui clearly repeated the words, “So, do you think your son is a useless person?”

 

Chapter 81: Provoke (4)

Although Sheng Yun looked embarrassed, she did not refute her.
She found out from her investigation that the Chen family’s inheritance would not fall on Chen Shu because of his poor performance and excellent character.

Ye Sui’s voice was like frost and snow, bitingly cold.
“Madam Sheng, you really don’t know anything about Chen Shu.

“The current Shen Shu is excellent; it’s just that the Chen family never cared.” Ye Sui said, “He also doesn’t bother to show his wealth all day long like you do.”

Chen Shu told her that he had made a lot of money from his investment.
Besides, Ye Sui felt that all the Chen family had misunderstood him.

“You don’t have to worry anymore.” Ye Sui continued after taking a deep breath, “Chen Shu and I will live a better life now and support our family together.”

She emphasized the last sentence so as to prevent Sheng Yun from having any thoughts.
“But, this has nothing to do with Madam Sheng.”

Seeing that money did not work on Ye Sui, Sheng Yun played her mother’s card.
“No matter what you say, Chen Shu is my biological son.”

“A son who you think has accomplished nothing and a daughter-in-law who you say is not outstanding in her career”—Ye Sui put her hands around her chest and leaned back—”I really don’t understand why Madam Sheng should recognize such a relative?”

Sheng Yun’s face turned increasingly paler, and her arrogant posture disappeared.
She, who was unable to refute, just sat there.
Ye Sui gently parted her lips.
“Since you chose to abandon Chen Shu, don’t disturb our lives again.”

Ye Sui’s attitude was indifferent yet polite.
After leaving the last sentence, she stood up and left the reception room without looking back.

Last time, Ye Sui’s plan to buy cakes for Chen Shu had failed miserably.
He ate so many sweets, but he didn’t feel the rush of blood.

Ye Sui did not want to let other people know her thoughts, so she had to go online and read the articles on how to make one’s crush like them back.
Like a thief, she hid in the company car and secretly looked at the advice given by netizens.

Coincidentally, she met a netizen whose situation was similar to hers.
The netizen asked everyone what to do if a person who got along with her at all times didn’t care about her.

Most of the netizens’ responses stated that the man didn’t treat her like a woman and that she needed to show her charm in front of him.

As soon as she saw the post, Ye Sui’s eyes lit up.
She immediately read all the answers and then determined the most satisfying one.

The smile on Ye Sui’s face lingered for a while.
Xiao Liu suddenly pulled the car door and was startled by how happy she looked.

“Won a lottery? Why so happy?” Xiao Liu looked curious.

Ye Sui quietly put away her phone, poked her head out of the window, and said like a well-principled person, “I won’t tell you.”

“Before we go home, let’s go to the mall.” Ye Sui smiled.
She would do a big thing later.

Xiao Liu made a suspicious noise, turned the car around, and drove to the mall.

Ye Sui bought a yoga mat from the shopping mall.
After returning home, she took out her yoga suit, ready to show her femininity before Chen Shu.
She originally wanted to put on makeup, but fearful of sweating and fainting, she gave up.

Sitting in front of the mirror, Ye Sui arranged her long hair in a high ponytail and repeatedly checked it before leaving the room.

Ye Sui chose the location to be the living room at home.
As soon as Chen Shu returned from work, he would see her posture.

The scene Ye Sui fantasized about was Shen Shu coming back from a day’s work—already tired—and pushing open the door to hear melodious music from the living room, lifting up his spirits.

Ye Sui, on the other hand, was gracefully doing yoga.
The corners of her forehead slightly sweating, her face had a flush from the exercise.
She would smile and open her mouth.
“Welcome home.”

Seeing her like this, Chen Shu would definitely start to look at her in a different way.
He would no longer treat her as a cohabitant but as a woman with all kinds of charms.

Ye Sui’s imagination ran wild, a goofy smile on her face.
She glanced at the time. Chen Shu must be on his way home now.

She immediately posed on the yoga mat.
Ye Sui had just taken the first posture when the door was heard opening.

The door opened, Chen Shu walked in from outside, and his eyes fell on Ye Sui in the center of the living room.
She was wearing a tight yoga suit, stretching her body, and revealing her curves.

This was the first time Ye Sui had done such a thing.
