Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Inciting Little Shushu to Run Away from Home
Ye Shu stood stunned, unable to believe what she saw on her computer screen, a chill running through her heart.
She could never have imagined that it was not An Zhe, but Sheng Shaochen, who had made the deal with Ye Shengli!
All the previous help to clear her brother’s name and retract the scandal headlines had been nothing but pretense.
In the face of business, everything else was insignificant.
Sheng Shaochen, truly Jin City’s top tycoon, embodied the merchant’s innate greed to the fullest.
Ye Shu slammed the computer screen shut; her phone rang, it was Ou Linlin.
As soon as she answered, she heard Ou Linlin’s indignant voice, “Did you see the news? That bitch Ye Xinyu is out, her dad actually got in touch with Sheng Shaochen, it’s unbelievable!”
“I saw it.” Ye Shu gave a wry smile.
“Aren’t you angry at all?”
“What good would being angry do? Ye Xinyu and her father now have the backing of Sheng Shaochen from Shengshi Group.”
If it were just Ye Shengli alone, Ye Xinyu would never have been bailed out this time.
But once they were connected with Sheng Shaochen, things were different.
Who in Jin City would dare not to show some deference to Sheng Shaochen?
In the end, she had not lost to Ye Shengli and his daughter, but to Sheng Shaochen.
“Ye Shu… actually…” Ou Linlin hesitated, “Ah, I just don’t understand, isn’t Sheng Shaochen behind you? Why would he help Ye Xinyu?” Ou Linlin scratched her head in frustration on the other end of the phone.
“You knew?” Ye Shu was startled.
“It was that rascal Sun Nanjue who let it slip! Ye Shu, what’s really going on between you and Sheng Shaochen?” Ou Linlin asked with worried empathy.
“I can’t even figure it out myself.” Ye Shu laughed self-deprecatingly, paused for quite some time, and then said solemnly, “Linlin, do you still need me as your little assistant?”
A pang hit Ou Linlin’s heart over the phone.
She and Ye Shu had a deep, heartfelt friendship, truly hoping for each other’s happiness.
When she first heard that Ye Shu had found a powerful supporter, Ou Linlin was genuinely pleased, hoping she could marry well and return to a life of luxury.
However, it turned out that Ye Shu’s benefactor didn’t treat her as anything precious.
Taking a deep breath, Ou Linlin declared passionately, “Absolutely, without you these past few days, I’ve had no passion for filming, even causing more NGs, hurry and pack up, join our crew, I’m waiting for you to get back to work!”
“Okay!” Ye Shu smiled gratefully.
Ou Linlin understood her well; at such times, no amount of consolation was as good as a knowing embrace.
Ye Shu packed some daily necessities, dragged a suitcase, and hurried to the film crew’s location.
Ou Linlin was leaning against the doorway of the lounge smoking a cigarette, stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Shu dragging a suitcase over, but she quickly understood.
Stepping forward to take the suitcase from Ye Shu, “Speaking like my Ye Shu, decisive and straightforward. With so many men in the world, if he doesn’t treasure you, ditch him!”
Ou Linlin declared boldly.
Ye Shu forced a smile.
Ditch Sheng Shaochen? Unless she could immediately produce an heir for his wealthy family.
Wrapping her arms around Ou Linlin’s arm, Ye Shu walked toward the lounge, “You don’t mind if I stay at your place for a few days, do you?”
“Mind? Of course not! Xiao Shushu, you’re doing the right thing. Ah Chen has gone too far this time, it’s about time you taught him a lesson by running away from home!” Before Ou Linlin could respond, a bustling voice from behind them erupted—it was Sun Nanjue.
