?Chapter 154: Chapter 141 Possibly Offended Some Big Shot Chapter 154: Chapter 141 Possibly Offended Some Big Shot “That’s right!” Shen Jinghe nodded, “It’s repression, you hit the nail on the head.

“It felt like Grandpa’s house was often like this, especially in the years before you came.

“Afterward, when we had the option to board at school, nobody liked coming home anymore. It was the same for me and the youngest.

“Let’s not talk about these unhappy things anymore, let’s eat quickly. Although it’s not as good as the meal cooked in the kitchen, it has its own charm.”

“……” Wenyan stopped chewing, “I’ve been eating.”

“I thought you came to find me just to talk about these unhappy things. After all, when people accumulate enough negative emotions, they need to vent.”

Shen Jinghe snorted through his nose: “You’re overthinking it; this isn’t my first time dealing with this kind of situation.”

If he wasn’t worried she would make a fuss, he certainly wouldn’t have come to find her in the middle of the night, foolishly carrying two boxes of bubbling self-heating hot pots.

“Okay, since you don’t plan to talk, can I ask you a few questions?”

“Go ahead.”

“Just… Was what Jingchuan said true? About Dad planning to give you the film company.”

“……” Shen Jinghe looked up, his gaze cutting through the white smoke rising from the self-heating hot pot to fix on Wenyan.

Wenyan felt his incredulous look and couldn’t help but sit up straight.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not supposed to ask about Shen Family business matters?”

“What does that have to do with anything? They are completely unrelated.” Shen Jinghe put down his chopsticks and said exasperatedly, “I’m done with you. You don’t know anything and you already took Jingchuan’s side? What if he was lying? What if he was causing trouble for no reason?”

“That’s not possible,” Wenyan said confidently, “he’s not that kind of person.”

“So you trust him that much? Even if we were to actually count the days, haven’t you two been together for all that long? It seems the time you two spent filming that variety show wasn’t even as long as the time you and I spent filming a movie.”

“Yes, the variety show was only filmed for seven days,” Wenyan said earnestly, “but we were online friends before that, we used to chat online.”

“Tsk! Online chat!” What’s so great about that, hasn’t everyone had an online chat?

Right, right, he’s the one who hadn’t had an online chat.

Shen Jinghe felt annoyed just thinking about it: “So if it were me today, would you also trust me unconditionally?”

Without a second thought, Wenyan said, “Of course!”

“That’s more like it.” Satisfied with the answer, Shen Jinghe finally addressed the question Wenyan had asked earlier in earnest.

“Jingchuan is not wrong, there is such a matter, the old man indeed has this intention. But speaking of it, this actually involves you, too.”

“Why? How is it related to me?”

“Because you’ve always been working solo, the family thought you might as well start your own company. Then, staying at the company would be like being at home; you could come and go as you please, how nice.”

“…So that’s it!” Being able to come and go as she pleased really was convenient. “So did you accept it?”

Shen Jinghe shrugged, “I haven’t had the chance to give my opinion yet. But since Jingchuan has such a big problem with it, I think it’s better to let it go. But don’t worry, even if I decline, the eldest will take over, and no matter what, you’ll always be the princess of this company. No, the Crown Princess would be more apt.”

“Crown Princess~” Wenyan jokingly pulled at his leg, “Look at the goosebumps you’re giving me, I really want to be a queen.”

“Speak properly~”

“Okay, okay,” Wenyan nodded, then continued, “But through what happened today, I think I’ve begun to understand something.

“I could never figure out why you and Jingchuan couldn’t get along, and whenever I asked, neither of you would give a clear reason.

“If I had to say you two don’t get along, there’s still a kind of understanding between you. The answer for deceiving me is always just a few words, ‘can’t stand the sight of him.’

“But today, I think I figured out why!”

“Really?” Shen Jinghe chuckled lightly. “Let’s hear it then, I want to see if you guessed right. Go on, start your performance.”

“But if I hit a sore spot, you’re not allowed to turn against me, because from the next second on, I’m just very objectively stating my subjective guess.”

“Alright, you’re making watching drama sound so refined and elegant, only you could do that. Hurry up.”

“But you haven’t agreed yet.”

“Agreed, agreed. I agree to everything you say.”

“Then, I guess it has something to do with the eldest brother. I can tell that the fourth brother and the eldest brother have a good relationship, but you and the eldest brother don’t get along. The fourth brother is hot-tempered, and you’re dissatisfied with dad and the eldest brother because of the kidnapping incident, so the fourth brother stands up for the eldest brother, and that puts you two on opposite sides. Right?”

Shen Jinghe stayed silent for a moment, then raised an eyebrow.

After two seconds, he nodded: “That’s pretty much it, I suppose.”

“But I feel like you still care about the fourth brother’s feelings, otherwise, you could have just accepted dad’s proposal. But you didn’t. It’s just your pride getting in the way.”

Shen Jinghe laughed softly. “But do you really think this is just a problem between me and Shen Jingchuan? Isn’t it a problem between him and dad?”

Dad? Shen Jinghe actually didn’t use ‘the old man’ to refer to Shen Yuan.

Wenyan was quite surprised and immediately asked: “What about the problems between you and dad? Do you still blame him?”

After Wenyan finished asking, she noticed that Shen Jinghe was looking at her with a rather deep gaze.

But just when she thought Shen Jinghe was about to open up, he suddenly said, ‘let’s not talk about these things’.

Then he changed the subject: “Your ‘Jungle Diary’ Season 2 is about to start filming soon, right? You have a few days off, and I’ve found some work for you.”

“……What? You change the subject too quickly, what work?”

“What’s with that expression?” Shen Jinghe frowned. “I’ve already tasked your assistant with negotiating the details, didn’t she tell you?”

“You can’t blame her for that! Since coming back from the hospital, I’ve been so busy I didn’t have time to check my other phone. I’ll take a look in a bit.”

–

Wenyan got in touch with her assistant, He Xing, quite quickly.

It was in this exchange that she found out Shen Jinghe really did pick up some opportunities for her.

Why say pick up? Because these opportunities used to belong to Min Xiasha.

But now she’s become a disgraced artist, completely blacklisted.

He Xing was full of gossip when it came to this.

‘I’ve been enjoying her drama for a long time, but there’s not a trace of what she did wrong online. All we know is she was put in jail.’

‘Then there are so-called insiders on the internet claiming she offended some big shot, but no one has been able to figure out who that big shot is.’

‘Do you think the big shot she offended could be Jinghe? Otherwise, how could Jinghe get her former resources?’

‘I wonder which female guest ‘Jungle Diary’ will invite to replace her.’

Wenyan: “……” She wouldn’t dare claim to be a big shot, she could only say that Min Xiasha had offended the Shen Family.
