Chapter 119: Auditioning (1)

When Patriarch Chen Shi saw the news about Ye Sui on the Internet, he became furious, wondering about the culprit.

The Chen Manor had always only allowed the Chen Family members inside. How did the paparazzi manage to take Ye Sui’s photos? There must be someone who leaked this information to the paparazzi.

Chen Shi’s first reaction was that it was done by Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu had always been against Chen Shu. Some time ago, after he announced Chen Shu’s existence, Chen Xiu came to the Chen family and asked him about the successor of the Chen family.

Chen Shi’s face sank. Although he had warned Chen Xiu, he must still have bad thoughts in his heart, wanting to discredit Ye Sui and Chen Shu.

The more Chen Shi thought about it, the angrier he got. In the end, he gave Chen Xiu a call right away and asked him to come to the Chen Manor immediately.

After receiving the call, Chen Xiu had a bad feeling in his heart. Why was his grandfather looking for him? His tone didn’t sound pleased.

Chen Xiu couldn’t figure out the reason even after thinking hard. He had no choice but to go one step at a time.

As soon as Chen Xiu arrived at the Chen Manor, Chen Shi shouted, “Bastard!” A teacup accompanied the roar, heading straight for the door.

Chen Xiu had been on guard the whole time, so he was quick to dodge. The teacup brushed past his side and hit the doorframe.

His heart relaxed, but he was still a little frightened.

Chen Shi glared at Chen Xiu. “Come here, you bastard!”

Chen Xiu felt aggrieved. “Grandpa, what are you scolding me for? At least let me know the reason.” No matter what was said, Chen Xiu didn’t go over, standing rooted on his spot of pulling the door open.

Chen Shi took a few deep breaths before continuing to curse, “Look at what you’ve done! There are photos of Ye Sui walking into the Chen Manor on the Internet, even saying that Ye Sui had an affair with a member of the Chen Family. For such rumors to fly outside, who could it be except for you?

“Don’t think I don’t know that you’re always targeting your little uncle!”

Chen Xiu was stunned. He had done nothing; why did he have to take the blame? He hurriedly waved his hand. “I’ve been wronged, Grandpa. I have never done such a heartless thing!

“I have known for a long time that the third uncle is Huarui’s President Chen. I also had a makeup dinner with my third uncle and aunt. We have an excellent relationship now. I can’t wait to please him more.”

Chen Shi’s expression showed that he did not believe him.

Chen Xiu’s pitch raised an octave, and he lifted his hand. “I swear, I’m telling the truth. If there is a lie, I will be hit by thunder.

“If you still don’t believe me, Grandpa, call and ask Little Aunt. I really didn’t lie to you.”

Chen Shi was stunned. “What did you say? Chen Shu is Huarui’s President Chen?”

Chen Xiu: “That’s right. Little Uncle is so amazing. Huarui was founded by him alone, and I also just learned about it some time ago.”

Chen Shi was still in a state of extreme shock. After thinking for a long time, he felt his cloudy vision had cleared up.

Chen Shu did mention to himself that he was making some investments, but he never cleared what he was doing…

Private jet, mysterious identity, and as low-key as President Chen…

Chen Shi smiled bitterly. No wonder when he mentioned Chen Shu becoming the Chen Family’s successor, he wasn’t moved at all. After all, the Chen Family was nothing compared to Huarui.

Chen Shi thought for a while before he said, “If you didn’t do it, it means someone else in the Chen Family was behind it.” He would investigate this matter himself.

Chen Shi looked serious. “However, even if you didn’t do it, you shouldn’t come here for the time being, to avoid some people gossiping.”

Else, people would spread rumors about Ye Sui and Chen Xiu having an affair, causing trouble for Ye Sui.

Chen Xiu shrugged and responded listlessly, “Okay.”

After Chen Xiu went back, he immediately asked his team to start the operation and removed all discussion posts on the Internet.

Huarui’s Public Relations Department planned to suppress the news on the Internet, but before they could put it into action, they found that the news about Ye Sui’s entry into the Chen Manor had disappeared.

The employees felt very strange. Who did it0?

Now that someone had helped them, they saved a lot of time. They then pushed other news up and diverted everyone’s attention.

After removing the articles, Chen Xiu called Chen Shu to ask for credit. “Little Uncle, I’ve dealt with the news on the Internet for you. You and Little Aunt don’t have to worry.

“If you need my help, please mention it. I will try my best.”

After Chen Shu and Ye Sui learned about Chen Xiu’s deed, they were surprised. After all, Chen Xiu probably didn’t pay this much attention even when handling news related to him.

Compared to before, Chen Xiu was indeed much more pleasing now.

When Chen Shi saw that the news on the Internet was gone, he was finally relieved. However, he still had one more thing to do. He knew that Chen Shu’s mother, Cheng Yun, had returned to China.

Cheng Yun might have met Chen Shu before, and he might not have wanted to see her. Chen Shi wouldn’t let Cheng Yun harass Chen Shu again. He would help Chen Shu solve this trouble.

This was the only thing he could do for Chen Shu, and it also gave him a chance for atonement.

Chen Shi dialed Cheng Yun’s cell phone. Before the call connected, his expression remained complicated. After a few seconds, Cheng Yun’s voice came from the other end of the line. “You are?”

Chen Shi snorted. “You are so forgetful; you don’t even recognize my voice?”

Cheng Yun was silent for a few seconds, then she said, “What are you looking for me for?”

Chen Shi: “I want to talk to you about Chen Shu. Let’s meet in person.”

Cheng Yun agreed, and the two decided on a time to meet. On that day, Chen Shi arrived at the reserved room first and waited for Cheng Yun.

After a while, when Cheng Yun opened the door, Chen Shi heard the movement and looked over. She walked over to him and sat opposite him.

Cheng Yun was sitting in front of Chen Shi. This was the first time the two of them met after so many years.

Chen Shi looked at Cheng Yun. He thought that after all this time, seeing her again, his mood would be calm and there would be no waves.

No matter how angry and dissatisfied he might have been, it was all in the past.

However, when Chen Shi really met Cheng Yun, his anger rose uncontrollably.

Chen Shi took a deep breath to calm his raging emotions. He then picked up a cup of tea and placed it gently in front of Cheng Yun. Next, he withdrew his hand without looking at Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun knew that she had abandoned Chen Shi and Chen Shu back then. She also understood that she was in the wrong, so she didn’t know how to break the ice. When she saw the cup of tea that Chen Shi handed over, she was slightly stunned.

The fragrance of tea permeated her nose, which she often drank when she was in the Chen Family. He even remembered that she liked this kind of tea best.

Cheng Yun was very ashamed. She didn’t dare to face Shen Shi and asked softly, “How have you been in the past few years?”

After Cheng Yun returned to China, she had also inquired about Chen Shi. She knew that Chen Shi never remarried after she left.

After a while, Chen Shi said coldly, “Do you think I’m doing well?”
