Chapter 108: For The Sake of Chen Family’s Fortune (1)
As soon as the live broadcast ended, many news articles popped up on the Internet.
[Deng Zhi looks a lot like Ye Sui. They appear on the same variety show to compete with each other.]
[“Little Ye Sui” Deng Zhi debuts in a supernatural variety show, suspected to be jointly sidelined by Ye Sui and others.]
[Scheming Ye Sui pushes aside Deng Zhi, the North Film Academy’s School Belle.]
Without exception, the articles issued by Deng Zhi’s team all carried the name Ye Sui. At first glance, these articles were well prepared and had clear goals.
They knew how much Ye Sui’s current traffic was. As long as it was related to Ye Sui, the number of hits for each article would double.
Deng Zhi had just graduated from North Film Academy. She had also acted in some small web dramas when she was at school. Upon closer inspection, her and Ye Sui’s eyebrows and eyes indeed resembled each other, but they were both toned-down versions.
It was no wonder that Deng Zhi wanted to ride on Ye Sui’s coattails. As long as she stuck to Ye Sui, her future publicity would get twice the result with half the effort.
Some attentive netizens even picked out the jewelry that Deng Ji was wearing on the show. From earrings to necklaces, almost all of them were the same style as Ye Sui!
Deng Zhi also dressed in a similar fashion as Ye Sui, almost becoming a carbon copy. Apparently, she was blindly copying others and making herself look foolish.
Wasn’t this imitating a bit too much? Adding Deng Zhi’s pitiful expression on the show, it was completely different from Ye Sui’s style.
The reticent, low profile actress, Deng Zhi, knew that she would participate in this variety show and had made full preparations. She had come for Ye Sui.
The netizens had different views. Some took the opportunity to step on Ye Sui but even more criticized Deng Zhi.
“Didn’t Ye Sui become famous as “Little Chang Ying” before? How does it feel to be on the receiving end now? Chang Ying’s fans had just brushed it off back then.”
“Isn’t it Ye Sui’s former agency’s fault? All the messy publicity was done by the original agent. Later, Ye Sui relied on her skill to wash it out.”
“What about Deng Zhi? If she has the ability, she should release some masterpieces like Ye Sui. Ah, newcomers who do not have the skill want to become popular with the most popular female stars. Shortcuts are not so easy to take.”
In Deng Zhi’s article, she not only smeared Ye Sui but also discredited the program group, portraying herself as a victim. She tried to become as pitiful as possible.
Ye Sui’s management team had also seen the news on the Internet, but they did not prepare any responses.
Deng Zhi was a newcomer, while Ye Sui was a popular actress with many credits under her belt. Wanting to become famous by depending on Ye Sui had already been regarded as going over the line. Why would they entertain people like her?
Ye Sui didn’t make any statements either, and her Weibo was quiet. However, Jingang went online and posted early in the morning: “I was bullied, and I want to cry. I ask for comfort online.”
Song Bai replied below, “Huh? Jingang, did you also get bullied? Shh, don’t cry.”
Zhao Hui: “Little Bai’s mother, Little Bai is playing with her mobile phone in class. I suggest that her mobile phone should be confiscated.”
Master Zhu: “Comrade Jingang, what demons and ghosts have you encountered? Do you want this Master to come out to help you cast off demons?”
Every guest star on the show replied under Jingang Weibo’s post.
The program team also reposted Jingang’s Weibo with a smirk. “Oh, who dares to bully you? Jingang the focus of our protection.”
Once again, their cooperation was very tacit.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smiley on the post was for Deng Zhi. If Deng Zhi still dared to fan the flames, then what they say would be more than just a smirk.
A newcomer to the program wanted to squeeze Ye Sui, on one side doing extortion publicity and on the other side winning netizens’ sympathy. Wasn’t that embarrassing for the show?
How could she take such a huge advantage all by herself?

The program team directly slapped Deng Zhi in the face. While at it, they told the audience that all these news were cheap publicity by Deng Zhi’s team.
This group of guests had just collaborated on a program and their acquaintance time was not much different from Deng Zhi. How could you just meet someone and bully them after a day?
There was also Master Zhu, who was a lady of few words and had a quiet personality. Why couldn’t they see others bullying Master Zhu?
Even with her personality, after spending some time with everyone, Master Zhu also got closer to them and had started interacting with netizens online.
Everyone soon came to a conclusion: Obviously, it was Deng Zhi with a problem, not the other way around.
Deng Zhi had come to <Are There Really No Ghosts in This World?> as a special guest. Who knew she would cause so many troubles on her first day?
The show directors who wanted to invite Deng Zhi to their variety shows must have question marks in their hearts now. Was this person going to cause havoc everywhere and throw mud on the variety show after she was done?
No one dared to invite such a guest.
Therefore, just as the title “Little Ye Sui” gained traction, Deng Zhi’s variety show prospects were suddenly cut off. No one dared to sign her for their shows.

After Chen Xiu knew that Old Master Chen was going to make Chen Shu his heir, he became terrified. He told Chang Ying about it, and finally, she came up with a countermeasure.
Before Chen Shi announced his successor, he would discredit Chen Shu’s reputation and cause public opinion to continue to ferment. Finally, he would let the pressure force Chen Shi to change his mind.
Recently, some news appeared on the Internet.
[The youngest son of the Chen family is ill-fated, cursing his older brothers!]
[The unlucky man could not be a great leader and was abandoned by the Shen family.]
[The youngest son of the Chen Family has not been seen for many years. He is indeed an ominous person, and his fate is bleak.].
Every word and every sentence discredited the youngest son of the Chen family.
The public was originally curious about the identity of the youngest son of the Chen Family. However, after reading these articles, many of them started harboring some prejudice against him.
It was no wonder the Chen Family had hidden their youngest son’s existence for so many years. As it turned out, he was cursed and had killed his two brothers.
It seemed that the youngest son did have some problems, so the heir of the Chen Family should definitely not be him.
Public opinion was biased towards Chen Xiu, and most people believed that Chen Xiu was too good to compare with Chen’s youngest son. Old Master Chen had become so blind that he even thought that his youngest son was a man of ability.
Ye Sui was shaking with anger when she saw these posts. Only Chen Family would mention that Chen Shu was cursed and that he was the cause of his brothers’ death.
Moreover, as soon as Chen Shi finished his news conference, some people had started discrediting Chen Shu.
Ye Sui knew better than anyone whose interests were threatened by Chen Shu. Chen Xiu was afraid that Chen Shu would take away the property of the Chen Family, so he had resorted to sinister means to harm him.
Ye Sui cherished Chen Shu so much, and how much she hoped that Chen Shu could live happily. However, there were always some worthless people who did unnecessary things to disturb their lives.
These people never know how much harm casual slander could cause to others. Every word would become a sharp knife, stabbing Chen Shu fiercely.
When Chen Shu saw Ye Sui reading these posts, he covered her hand and squeezed it tightly. “I’ve already asked someone to deal with it.”
Ye Sui murmured, “Chen Shu, I’m so angry. How can they treat you this way?”
If she was so angry, then what about Chen Shu? What would he think about being framed by his own relatives?
Chen Shu and Ye Sui’s gaze met. His eyes were pitch-black and calm, like a lake without waves. He seemed to have expected such a day.
Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui and said seriously, “I’ll deal with this matter. We shouldn’t let our emotions be affected by irrelevant people.”
After a long while, Ye Sui nodded.
Chapter 108: Chang Ying’s Lose Face (1)
Later, although the post was deleted, Ye Sui couldn’t let the matter go. She had to think up a way to deal with Chang Ying and Chen Xiu to give Chen Shu some relief.
A few days later, Ye Sui learned that Chang Ying had taken a fancy to something and was going to the charity auction. Ye Sui smiled; how could she let Chang Ying get what she wanted?
Soon, it was the charity auction. This evening, the sky was dotted with stars. Cars were parked at the door, and the auction hall was brightly lit. Although it was dark, it seemed like daylight.
Chang Ying had already arrived at the venue. She was sitting with her agent.
Chang Ying knew that the last item at auction would be a jadeite bracelet. She had always liked such things, and whenever there were high-quality jade items, she would collect them.
Moreover, after giving the evil idea of defaming Chen Shu, the public opinion on the Internet had shifted toward Chen Xiu.
Although the post had inexplicably disappeared, Chen Xiu was about to become the heir to the Chen Family, so she was still in a good mood.
After a while, Chang Ying sensed that someone was sitting next to her. She turned her head and looked over. Unexpectedly encountering Ye Sui here, Chang Ying’s face suddenly darkened. “What are you doing here?”
Ye Sui didn’t even look at Chang Ying. She just gently caressed her cuff and said carelessly, “If you can come, why can’t I?
“From what you’re saying, have you bought the entire auction hall?”
Chang Ying turned pale. She was not prepared to greet Ye Sui. Although Chang Ying didn’t want to sit with her, if she just stood up and left, it would seem that she had yielded to Ye Sui.
Therefore, Chag Ying remained in her seat.
Ye Sui still did not look at Chang Ying, and her side face was icy. “You are the one who put the news on the Internet.”
Ye Sui did not beat around the bush, wording it calmly as if it was a fact.
Chang Ying was startled. Even though she had understood Ye Sui’s meaning, she still showed a gloating smile. “So what?”
Anyway, she and Ye Sui had long been at odds, while Chen Xiu and Chen Shu also had a poor relationship. The two of them were destined to be enemies.
Chang Ying added, “What I said is all true, though.” As long as Chen Shu’s image was ruined, his chances of being an heir would drastically decrease.
Ye Sui finally turned her head, her icy gaze staring at Chang Ying. Her voice was so cold, it was like thousand-year-old snow. “The truth? In your eyes, you can just slander people to get what you want?
“Is your bottom line so low?”
Chang Ying: “There will only be one heir to the Chen Family.”
Ye Sui sneered. “We couldn’t care less about the Chen Family’s properties. Since you’ve decided to provoke me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Chang Ying was just about to ask Ye Sui what she meant by not caring about the Chen Family’s fortune when the auction began.
The items were auctioned off one after another. Finally, it was the finale of the auction. The model walked onto the stage with the jadeite bracelet, which had an excellent texture and glowed under the light.
Chang Ying’s eyes lit up. She had wanted this bracelet for a long time, also the whole reason she had come here today. From the side, Ye Sui caught a glimpse of Chang Ying’s reaction and sneered.
‘I’ll see if you can get this bracelet today.’
The auctioneer announced on the stage, “The final item is a jadeite bracelet, with a starting price of 4 million. Bidding starts now!”
When the bidding began, Chag Ying was the first to say, “6 million!”
As soon as Chang Ying opened her mouth and added 2 million, everyone looked in her direction. It was only then that they found that the original popular campus belle had also come here.
Wait, who was sitting next to Chang Ying? It was Ye Sui! Weren’t the two of them always in conflict?
Chang Ying didn’t care what they thought; she just wanted to take the bracelet. While she kept staring at the bracelet on the stage, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to her.
“7 million.”
Chang Ying looked to the side in surprise and met Ye Sui’s smirking eyes. She suddenly understood the purpose of Ye Sui coming here. Chang Ying got angry and said, “Are you planning to fight me today?”
Ye Sui bent her lips, but her eyes remained cold. “Do you like this jade bracelet? Coincidentally, I like it very much, too.”
Ye Sui’s tone was firm. “I will get this bracelet today.”
Chang Ying choked up with anger. She knew why Ye Sui was doing this: Ye Sui was furious that she and Chen Xiu were slandering Chen Shu. Thus, she wanted to fight her.
Chen Xiu had already lost the right to inherit the Chen Family. If she didn’t get the item at the auction today, it meant she would lose, too.
How could she lose face?!
Chapter 108: Chang Ying’s Lose Face (2)
Chang Ying immediately raised the bid. “8.5 million.”
Ye Sui’s voice remained slow and leisurely. “9.5 million.”
Chang Ying said her next bid with some heartache, “11 million.” She didn’t believe that Ye Sui would keep up with her.
Ye Sui’s voice sounded from next to her. “12 million.”
Chang Ying: “14.5 million.”
Ye Sui looked at Chang Ying and said slowly, “15.5 million.”
Everyone else had stopped bidding by now as they enjoyed the bidding war between Ye Sui and Chang Ying. On the other hand, the price of the jade bracelet was getting higher and higher.
Ye Sui did not know that Chen Shu had also come to the auction. As soon as she arrived here, he had discovered her and kept an eye on her.
At the VIP table, Wang Chuan told Chen Shu, “President Chen, Ye Sui is bidding with Chang Ying below.” And the competition was fierce.
Chen Shu said faintly, “Hmm.”
Wang Chuan tried to probe, “What are we going to do?” Since Huarui’s Madam was interested in something, President Chen would give her a hand.
After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Shu calmly replied, “She has her own ideas. Let her do as she pleases. Unless necessary, I won’t interfere.”
He knew exactly what Ye Sui was thinking: She wanted to seek revenge for him.
The corner of Chen Shu’s mouth curled up into a smile. No matter what she did, he would indulge her.
Wang Chuan observed the scene for a while and sniffed out something unusual. “President, Madam’s bidding is very interesting.”
Chang Ying had increased the price once again, so Ye Sui followed her. But it was only 1 million higher than Chang Ying’s, no more, no less.
Chen Shu also found it rather intriguing. It was like a cat playing with a mouse; no matter what the mouse tried, it could never escape the cat’s palm.
Ye Sui was the shrewd cat, while Chang Ying was the mouse. Ye Sui gradually increased the price, leaving a glimmer of hope for Chang Ying.
However, the one-million-increase also gave Chang Ying a slight illusion that she would never win over Ye Sui.
In this way, Chang Ying would be full of hope at one moment, then frustrated in the other. Hopeful, frustrated, she was forever cycling between the two emotions.
Ye Sui would exhaust all of Chang Ying’s patience and hope bit by bit until the very end.
Chang Ying could not stand it any longer. She took a deep breath and said, “Ye Sui, are you crazy? Paying such a high price just to buy an emerald bracelet!”
Ye Sui glanced at her and slowly spat out three words, “I don’t mind.”
Ye Sui then looked askance at Chang Ying and said sarcastically, “The price is a bit high, but is it me who’s afraid now, or you?”
Chang Ying was once again provoked. She didn’t expect the situation to come to this. She kind of wanted to give up, but…
The auctioneer had also started feeling uneasy. He asked Chang Ying in a low voice, “Are you still bidding? This amount is too big…”
Chang Ying thought angrily, ‘Continue, why not?’ At this point, everyone was watching them, so whoever lost would lose face.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Chang Ying: “17 million.”
Ye Sui: “18 million.”
Chang Ying finally noticed something amiss: Ye Sui’s price was only 1 million more than hers each time. She always felt as if Ye Sui was playing her. If she dragged on like this, when would it come to an end?
Chang Ying growled, “Are you really going to fight me to the end?”
Ye Sui glanced at Chang Ying, and she suddenly smiled before asking in a cold tone, “You think I’m not serious?”
Ye Sui said word by word, “If you can’t afford it, don’t waste my time.”
Although Chang Ying was furious, the price was too high. No matter how good the emerald bracelet was, she never thought she would spend so much money on it.
Chang Ying turned silent.
Everyone knew that Ye Sui and Chang Ying were going to fight to the end. Anyway, the jade bracelet would either be obtained by Ye Sui or Chang Ying.
Judging by the situation, it seemed that Ye Sui was more likely to get it.
At this time, the VIP room door suddenly opened, causing everyone to look at it. They knew that President Chen was sitting in the VIP room. Did he also intend to bid?
When Ye Sui saw Wang Chuan, she was delighted. Could it be that Chen Shu was also here?
The auctioneer saw Wang Chuan and asked, “Is President Chen going to bid?”
Wang Chuan nodded. He casually glanced at Ye Sui before withdrawing his sight, and then he said, “30 million.”
Wang Chuan’s voice reached everyone’s ears. They hadn’t imagined that President Chen would go so far as to raise the price by more than 10 million! It seemed that he had taken a fancy to the item.
However, everyone soon thought of another possibility: Chang Ying was now competing with Ye Sui, and Ye Sui was an artist of Huarui.
Was President Chen doing this to protect Ye Sui?

Ye Sui glanced at her and slowly spat out three words, “I don’t mind.”
Ye Sui then looked askance at Chang Ying and said sarcastically, “The price is a bit high, but is it me who’s afraid now, or you?”
Chang Ying was once again provoked. She didn’t expect the situation to come to this. She kind of wanted to give up, but…
The auctioneer had also started feeling uneasy. He asked Chang Ying in a low voice, “Are you still bidding? This amount is too big…”
Chang Ying thought angrily, ‘Continue, why not?’ At this point, everyone was watching them, so whoever lost would lose face.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Chang Ying: “17 million.”
Ye Sui: “18 million.”
Chang Ying finally noticed something amiss: Ye Sui’s price was only 1 million more than hers each time. She always felt as if Ye Sui was playing her. If she dragged on like this, when would it come to an end?
Chang Ying growled, “Are you really going to fight me to the end?”
Ye Sui glanced at Chang Ying, and she suddenly smiled before asking in a cold tone, “You think I’m not serious?”
Ye Sui said word by word, “If you can’t afford it, don’t waste my time.”
Although Chang Ying was furious, the price was too high. No matter how good the emerald bracelet was, she never thought she would spend so much money on it.
Chang Ying turned silent.
Everyone knew that Ye Sui and Chang Ying were going to fight to the end. Anyway, the jade bracelet would either be obtained by Ye Sui or Chang Ying.
Judging by the situation, it seemed that Ye Sui was more likely to get it.
At this time, the VIP room door suddenly opened, causing everyone to look at it. They knew that President Chen was sitting in the VIP room. Did he also intend to bid?
When Ye Sui saw Wang Chuan, she was delighted. Could it be that Chen Shu was also here?
The auctioneer saw Wang Chuan and asked, “Is President Chen going to bid?”
Wang Chuan nodded. He casually glanced at Ye Sui before withdrawing his sight, and then he said, “30 million.”
Wang Chuan’s voice reached everyone’s ears. They hadn’t imagined that President Chen would go so far as to raise the price by more than 10 million! It seemed that he had taken a fancy to the item.
However, everyone soon thought of another possibility: Chang Ying was now competing with Ye Sui, and Ye Sui was an artist of Huarui.
Was President Chen doing this to protect Ye Sui?
