The Former Wife of Invisible Wealthy Man

Chapter 60: Patriarch Chen’s Birthday (1)

What the fuck! The media present wanted to ask a question: knowing that Director Xi’s taste is too picky, how did he choose Ye Sui?

Reporter: “Pei Ning and Chang Ying have starred in blockbuster movies. Is there any difference between Ye Sui and them?”

Xi Zhao retorted coldly, “Do they really know Ning Ling?”

Ye Sui knew a lot about Ning Ling’s past and movies. Besides, Xi Zhao knew that she must have conducted an in-depth research on Ning Ling’s life. Not to mention, there would be Ning Ling to guide her in the future.

Everyone was shocked. What did this mean? In other words, Pei Ning and Chang Ying only wanted to act superficially with no desire to honestly portray Ning Ling?

The two most popular female stars were severely beaten in the face by Director Xi.

Today, Weibo and the hot forums were all swept by the news: [Ye Sui is going to play Ning Ling. Who can tell me how she got such a huge role?]

“Ye Sui’s backing has been getting better and better recently. Is this person really such a big shot?”

“Knowing that Director Xi has a bad temper, can he really accept her without giving it a thought first? Didn’t you listen to him? Influence is not important; what matters is sincerity.”

“Chang Ying has lost several times in Ye Sui’s hands. It seems that she turned into a new leaf!”

Tomorrow was Chen Patriarch’s birthday party. He had already notified Chen Shu and Ye Sui long ago. Of course, she had agreed and also picked a gift together with Chen Shu.

The next morning, Ye Sui received a phone call from Renjie that there was a brief announcement, and it would be over soon.

Ye Sui had to inform Chen Shu to go ahead to Chen’s Mansion first, and she would come back later. Chen Shu agreed.

In the evening, Chen Shu drove to Chen’s Mansion alone. There were already many people present. The hall was brightly lit, and everyone stood there, chatting with others, looking lively.

Chen Shu was not familiar with those people, so he didn’t look at them, went straight to a corner, and checked his cell phone casually.

At this time, Chen Shu suddenly heard a voice; a man was calling out his name. “Chen Shu.”

Chen Shu looked up to follow the sound. This man was a distant relative of the Chen Family and had a very long relationship. Only on some important occasions would he come to visit their family.

The man gazed at Chen Shu and remembered the rumor that Chen Shu had a hard life. His eyes flashed sarcastically.

“The year you were born, your brother died. People say that you have a hard life and that you immediately killed your own brother at birth.”

Chen Shu’s heart was a little agitated, but he quickly calmed down.

He lowered his eyes, appearing indifferent. He had heard such words countless times since he was young. From the moment he was born, he was labeled ‘bad luck.’

They all said that he had killed his brother, that his birth had brought misfortune to his family, and that his birth was not quite clear.

The man continued, “Your mother left home when you were very young. Not only did you kill your brother, but you also drove your mother away.”

Chen Shu had no facial expression. He had long become accustomed to other people’s coldness, and numbly accepted their sarcasm. From the earliest moment he could recall, all of them came to him just to say this.

This had always been the case: no one helped him, and no one was on his side.

However, when someone else intentionally mentioned his mother, his heart still tightened, remembering the fact that he was abandoned by her.

The man kept saying, “And your wife. When she first started her career, she was scolded by netizens. Your life is just too difficult. So, who’s next now?”
