Chapter 89: Remember (1)

The day Chen Xiu followed Chen Shu, he failed because when he appeared in the mall, he was surrounded by his fans. Several photos and videos of him were posted by passers-by on the Internet.

When Chang Ying was browsing her Tiktok account, she saw videos of Chen Xiu. She glanced at the time of the post, recalling that Chen Xiu had no schedule that day. Why would he suddenly appear in the shopping mall?

Usually, Chen Xiu would report his daily schedule to her, but during this shopping trip, he hadn’t informed her at all. Who did Chen Xiu go to the mall with? Was he hiding something?

Chang Ying dialed Chen Xiu’s number and questioned him straight away, “What were you doing in the mall that day?”

Although two people were in love before, they broke up once. Later, they reconciled, but nevertheless, she became much more sensitive. No matter what, she had to get to the bottom of the issue.

Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment. He suspected that Chen Shu was the President of Huarui. Yet, he had no evidence; it was just a guess. He didn’t know if he should tell her.

Chang Ying continued, “Is there anything we can’t talk about between us?”

Chen Xiu sighed. He wouldn’t tell the Chen family about this matter. Besides, even if he wanted to, he didn’t dare to say what was on his mind. Still, Chang Ying was also a celebrity involved in the entertainment circles. Maybe if they worked together, they would find out the truth.

“I suspect Chen Shu might have relations with Huarui.”

Chang Ying squinted her eyes. “What do you mean?”

“Do you remember? The other day when we encountered Chen Shu and Ye Sui in a restaurant? It happened that Huarui’s executives were also there.” Chen Xiu added, “Isn’t this a coincidence that my little uncle just appeared out of nowhere?”

Chang Ying didn’t speak, her calm breathed coming from the other end of the phone. She listened to Chen Xiu’s story while recalling the scene.

Chen Xiu continued, “And don’t you think Ye Sui’s resources are too good this year?”

Weizhi Group’s “<Rescue>”, Xi Zhao’s “Ning Ling”, and the new endorsement of Dior… each project was beyond the reach of Ye Sui as a former 18th line[1. Background actor] small celebrity.

What they didn’t know was that Ye Su got these opportunities because she had the ability to communicate with ghosts.

“Ye Sui signed a contract with Huarui recently. It’s too much of a coincidence. In addition, the President of Huarui has never appeared, and we don’t know who he is.” Chen Xiu pointed.

Chen Xiu told all his ideas to his girlfriend.

“You mean your little uncle is the President of Huarui?” Chang Ying was astonished.

Her first thought was that it was impossible. Didn’t the Chen family all say that Chen Shu was a man with a hard life and no ability?

If Chen Shu really had the skill, why not prove it to the Chen family, but let the rumors ferment?

But when she thought of Ye Sui’s gradually successful star road, perfect public relations, and Huarui’s support, all of these had a point. There might be people behind her who supported her, or else, these kinds of conjectures couldn’t be explained at once.

Was Chen Shu really President Chen? How could they prove it?

With their speculations, Chen Xiu decided to start with the senior executives of Huarui. He would try to meet Wang Chuan of the film department. It was said that Wang Chuan often went to a specific restaurant for dinner, so Chen Xiu chose to ‘bump’ into him there.

Chen Xiu had his agent monitor Wang Chuan. As soon as he entered, Chen Xiu received the news immediately.

Chen Xiu greeted him, “Senior Wang also eats here?”

Unsuspecting, Wang Chuan smiled politely. “Indeed. What a coincidence.”

“I came here alone; why don’t we eat together?” 

After sitting in the private room, they made small talk and ordered a few dishes. The food here was exceptional, and each dish was exquisite. However, Chen Xiu’s mind elsewhere.

Wang Chuan: “I read on the news that you recently received an offer for a Hollywood movie?”

“It’s just a cameo, not comparable to your Huarui,” Chen Xiu spoke in a modest way.

After this, they became at ease with each other’s presence. Halfway through their meal, Chen Xiu put down his chopsticks and casually said, “Have you heard about my third uncle?”

 

Chapter 89: Remember (2)

Wang Chuan didn’t know why he would mention Chen Shu. In a flash, he decided to feign ignorance. “Dare I ask, aren’t both the heirs of Chen’s Group gone?”

The outside world felt that Chen Family’s right to inheritance had naturally fallen on Chen Xiu. Of course, even Chen Xiu thought so.

“To tell you the truth, my uncle is unfortunate. Something bad happened when he was born.” Although Chen Xiu didn’t make it clear, he deliberately vilified Chen Shu’s birth.

When Chen Shu’s mother suddenly left, they concealed Chen Shu’s existence from the outside world. Only those close to Chen’s family knew about him.

Chen Xiu picked up his mobile phone and opened a photo of Chen Shu. “This is my third uncle.”

Wang Chuan’s eyes slowly fell on the photo, and he looked at Chen Shu’s familiar face, which he saw almost every day at work. Time stood still for a moment, and Wang Chuan did not speak.

Chen Xiu tentatively said, “Huh? Does Senior Wang know my little uncle?”

Wang Chuan raised his head, the emotions in his eyes calm. He shook his head. “No, I don’t know. He’s handsome; a pity he did not get to debut in a movie.”

He and Chen Xiu were not that familiar with each other. Yet somehow, he pulled him to talk about family affairs for no apparent reason. There must be something going on in his mind.

“Yeah.” Chen Xiu’s tone was somewhat regretful.

After Chen Xiu left, Wang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn’t been quick-witted, he would have been exposed. He even felt that he could be nominated for an Oscar for his performance.

He and Chen Shu had known each other for many years, and Wang Chuan never kept secrets from him about his work. Wang Chuan immediately called Chen Shu and told him about his encounter with Chen Xiu in the restaurant.

“President, Chen Xiu asked me if I knew you.” Wang Chuan said, “I denied it. I guess he suspects your identity.”

Chen Shu’s eyes flashed, and he calmly said, “You’ve done a good job. The bonus this month has been doubled.”

Wang Chuan: “Chen Xiu may be keeping tabs on you. You’d better be careful.”

“Hmm.” Chen Shu did not say much. Chen Xiu was the heir to the Chen Family’s fortunes in the eyes of the outside world. Was he still worried about someone competing for his fortune?

The Chen Family’s inheritance, Chen Shu didn’t really care at all.

Ye Sui had difficulty finding the time to watch the video recorded by the camera that night.

She didn’t dare to watch it at home, for fear of being caught by Chen Shu. Maybe he would think she was insane, recording her drunken state.

Ye Sui brought the camera to the studio and took advantage of the break to hide in her dressing room.

The dressing room was quiet. Ye Sui shrank in the corner of the couch and began to play the video.

In the beginning, the video was quite normal. She drank one cup after another. After getting drunk, though, something went wrong. She stuck on the wall and flickered at Chen Shu’s photo!

Ye Sui’s face was red, and her ears were burning at this time. Fortunately, Chen Shu was not at home; otherwise, she would choose to commit suicide on the spot because of embarrassment.

Ye Sui fanned her face with her hand to dispel the heat. She stared at the video without blinking, worried that she might miss it.

Ye Sui looked at herself circling around the room and facing the photos of Chen Shu with intense expressions. In the end, she was almost at a loss.

She complained to Chen Shu to the point she looked like a love-struck fool. While watching, Ye Sui thought this was only the thing she did, and she would not do anything extraordinary.

Thinking this, Ye Sui felt a relief. Unexpectedly, the very next second, the closed door opened suddenly, and Chen Shu appeared at the door.

Ye Sui’s camera almost dropped out of her hand, her eyes fixed on it.

Who could tell her why Chen Shu, who was going on a business trip, returned home?

Ye Sui took a deep breath and calmed herself. “What if Chen Shu came home? At best, I usually have a small temper. It’s impossible to throw myself—” 

The next second…

Ye Sui did not even finish, her words forcefully stuck in her throat.

As she watched the video, she saw herself suddenly go into Chen Shu’s arms and saying shamelessly, “Chen Shu, hug.”

 

Chapter 89: Remember (3)

How Ye Sui hoped that she was blind. She could not bear to see this scene.

“It should be like this. Friends hug each other, and besides, I’m drunk and unconsciously did that thing. So it’s not my fault in reality.”

Ye Sui comforted herself until she saw herself ordering Chen Shu to carry her around the house and rode him like a horse.

Ye Sui’s lips trembled. “I must be possessed by a ghost. Chen Shu should be able to understand me.”

She suddenly saw their movements stopping, and she turned her head and kissed Chen Shu.

Not hugging him, not riding on his back, but kissing him on his lips!

Ye Sui immediately turned off the video. Having suffered a major blow, she couldn’t face herself. Suddenly, she remembered the way Chen Shu had looked at her that morning.

Chen Shu must have thought that she deliberately took advantage of him in her drunken state. On top of that, she still did not admit it.

When Xiao Liu pushed the door and came in, she saw Ye Sui sitting on the couch. Her entire body was shrouded in a gloomy vibe, and she seemed to have nothing left to live for. 

“Sui Sui, are you ok?” Xiao Liu approached her anxiously.

Ye Sui stood up from the couch and threw herself in Xiao Liu’s arms. “Something happened, something big. I made a big mistake.”

Xiao Liu was surprised. “Did you send the wrong Weibo’s post? Or did you have an affair with someone?” Xiao Liu only had her mind fixed on Ye Sui’s career, not thinking about her matter with Chen Shu

Ye Sui leaned her head on Xiao Liu’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “I kissed Chen Shu.”

Xiao Liu was stunned and immediately calmed down, complaining about Ye Sui’s terrible behavior, “Fart! I thought something really happened.”

Ye Sui raised her head and said, “It was I who took the initiative to kiss Chen Shu.”

Xiao Liu was amused. “Chen Shu is your husband. Either you kiss him, or he kisses you. He won’t blame you for taking the initiative for once.”

After saying that, she added, “Sui Sui, I’ll warn you about showing affection in public, though. Don’t overdo it.”

No one understood that Ye Sui’s heart was weeping at this time. A kiss between husband and wife was reasonable, but they were not a real couple.

Ye Sui was uneasy. After several NG’s sessions on the set, the director thought that she was not in good condition and asked her to go home to rest first.

She did not dare to go home at all, however. She immediately stabilized her mind and apologized to the director. Once again, she devoted herself to the shooting.

Afterward, Ye Sui still hesitated to go home. She wanted to delay until Chen Shu returned and fell asleep.

Ye Sui deemed it to be a good plan. Not much later, though, Chen Shu called her.

‘Should I answer it or not?’ Ye Sui was hesitating, but suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her and quickly helped Ye Sui slide the answer button. The call was connected.

Ye Sui immediately turned her head. The “devoted assistant” Xiao Liu looked at her with a smile and mouthed, “You’re welcome!”

‘Thank you so much for pushing me into the fire, you heartless assistant!’

Ye Sui trembled as she stuck her mobile phone to her ear. Since she was guilty, her voice subconsciously lowered. “Hello.”

Chen Shu’s voice came from the other end, “I’ll pick you up.”

Ye Sui immediately refused. “No need, Xiao Liu will send me back.”

In the next second, Chen Shu dashed Ye Sui’s hope. “I’m almost there. Xiao Liu already told me that your shooting is over.”

Xiao Liu was really ungrateful and heartless, standing on Chen Shu’s side without hesitation.

Now that things had developed to this point, Ye Sui could only brace herself for his arrival. 

When Chen Shu’s car stopped in front of her, she walked sluggishly to the side of the car and opened the door.

“Ouch” Due to her lack of attention, Ye Sui’s head slammed into the door. But she quickly bent down and got into the car.

When Ye Sui reached out to close the car door, she screamed again, “It hurts.”

Ye Sui’s foot was still outside the car; however, she closed the door and hit her calf. She slowly retracted her leg in pain.

Ye Sui’s back was stiff, and her hands were placed on her knees, pretending to be calm and trying to wipe out the embarrassment just now.

But in the next second, Chen Shu suddenly leaned close, prompting her to arch against the door at once. Her back clung tightly to the surface as she asked in a panic, “What’s the matter?” Was he going to settle the old scores?

 

Chapter 89 : Remember (4)

Chen Shu was stunned for a few seconds, but he lowered his head and laughed. He pointed to the side of Ye Sui. “You forgot to fasten your seat belt.”

Ye Sui felt relieved. She scrambled to buckle the belt, but her hand slightly shook. She tried several times, yet she still failed in the end.

Just as the idea of chopping off her hand flashed in her mind, Chen Shu held out his hand and covered the back of her hand, exerting a little force.

With a click, the safety belt was fastened.

Ye Sui’s blood rushed to her face, turning it into a peach. She immediately retracted her hand, her voice the same as that of a mosquito’s buzz, “Thank you.”

Not noticing the anomaly of Ye Sui, Chen Shu started the car.

A dead silence reigned in the car. Ye Sui pretended to be exhausted and rested her head on the car seat. In actuality, she didn’t sleep at all, and her eyelids quivered slightly.

Ye Sui did not dare to talk to him. She was afraid to say what she shouldn’t as soon as she opened her mouth.

At night, the car drove through the bustling streets, the atmosphere always silent.

Ye Sui maintained the same posture and did not dare to move. Her body was stiff, and since she had pretended to be asleep, she had to act on it until the end.

Ye Sui secretly opened her eyes and looked at the reflection on the window.

Chen Shu was driving the car seriously, and his eyes remained on the road.

The corner of Ye Sui’s mouth rose slightly. Although she was embarrassed to do such a thing to Chen Shu, she actually kissed him. She felt quite satisfied when she thought about it.

Besides, she did nothing wrong. Chen Shu must have thought it was just a mistake after being drunk.

“I think I like you very much. I like you very much. I like you more than you think.” A voice suddenly flashed into Ye Sui’s mind.

Ye Sui was startled, and her head accidentally knocked on the window. The movement scared Chen Shu out of his wits. He immediately parked the car on the side of the road and looked at her sideways.

Chen Shu’s eyes expressed his concern. “Are you all right?”

From the beginning, Ye Sui’s reaction had been abnormal, stumbling all the way, always doing something that she would not normally do. What happened?

Ye Sui held her head and looked at Chen Shu with a complicated expression. She just remembered the last episode after being drunk. She had actually confessed to him.

When she thought of her declaration of love, she couldn’t recall his response. She only remembered her confession with Chen Shu.

However, in her mind, Chen Shu didn’t take her words seriously; otherwise, he would not be as calm as he was now.

Ye Sui couldn’t help recalling that she was so daring to confess when she was drunk. She wanted to be like that when sober, to tell such words bravely and sincerely to him.

What if she made a formal confession to Chen Shu? What would his reaction be?

When Ye Sui thought of this and made a decision, her frantic heart suddenly quieted down. It was a wonderful thing to like someone. She felt that she should find time to tell Chen Shu.

Ye Sui smiled at Chen Shu. “I’m fine. Let’s go home.”

Chen Shu did not question her. He confirmed that Ye Sui was indeed fine before driving home.

The next morning, Huarui Building.

Chen Shu stood in front of his office’s French window, watching the passing cars under his feet. Although the crowd was in a hurry, he could imagine this ordinary happiness.

While at work just now, he suddenly recalled the drunken scene.

He and Ye Sui had drunk a strong wine at Chen Mansion.

At that time, both were drunk. The next day, he forgot everything about that night, but now, he vaguely remembered it.

But the other memories were hazy. Chen Shu only recalled that Ye Sui had taken the initiative to kiss him.

Ye Sui had kissed him twice, so she should have the same feelings as him.

They liked each other; they wanted to treat each other well and give everything to each other.

Chen Shu’s lips curled up, his smile relaxed. The sunlight outside was blocked from time to time. The light and shadow played with each other jovially, like his heart.

Chen Shu remembered every sentence Ye Sui had said and every promise he had made to her.

When they solved Wei Ji’s affairs, Ye Sui and he had made an agreement. They must talk about everything immediately and did not want to have a secret between the two that would cause misunderstandings. 

Chen Shu felt he had to find an opportunity to talk to Ye Sui and tell her everything related to him.

Including his liking for her.
