After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Mr. Sheng’s Deadly Series of Calls

Beside the photo were the words he had said at the celebration banquet: “To live is to have dreams, and with dreams, one can certainly carve out a semblance of oneself. So, no matter when, never give up on yourself!”

After the movie premiered, it ended with a shocking flop.

He once drowned his sorrow in alcohol, and at that time, everyone avoided him—except a green and inexperienced extra who followed the drunken him every day, repeating that sentence he had said at the celebration banquet, urging him not to give up on himself.

Not until he sobered up, stopped drinking, and rallied again.

But that extra disappeared, and he couldn’t even recall what the extra had looked like.

He remembered that during the first time he received the Best New Director Award, he had thanked that obscure extra.

Little did he expect, that extra was Ou Linlin.

He remembered that selfie—it was taken when he had collapsed at the entrance of Hengdian, with the extra helping him stand.

Sun Nanjue reached out, caressing the smiling Ou Linlin in the photo, and his drunken, foolishly grinning self, only to find his eyes involuntarily welling up.

He reached out and harshly slapped himself several times.

What had he done to his benefactor?

Sun Nanjue, with a heavy heart, pulled out a cigar, lit it, and continued to flip through the scrapbook, growing more shocked with each page he turned.

Ou Linlin’s dedication to him was undeniably profound.

Sun Nanjue’s fingertips trembled, his heart roiling with surges of emotion.

Suddenly, the scrapbook was snatched from his hands.

Sun Nanjue looked up to find himself facing Ye Shu’s icy stare. He managed a half-hearted smile, “Little Shushu, actually…”

“Sun Nanjue, I loathe scumbags the most. If you dare hurt Linlin again, I won’t let you off!”

After Ye Shu spoke her piece, she took the scrapbook and left straight away.

Han City Airport.

Sheng Shaochen had just gotten off the plane and immediately called Guan Jiu, “Has Ye Shu returned home?”

“Young Master, why don’t you call Miss Ye personally?” Guan Jiu cautiously suggested.

“What happened?” Sheng Shaochen halted, as Guan Jiu was always very measured and wouldn’t pry into his private affairs unless something had occurred regarding Ye Shu.

“This… it seems Miss Ye is angry at you.”

“Usual.” Sheng Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief; he had anticipated that taking Shengshi Group’s new project and partnering with Ye Shengli would infuriate Ye Shu.

That’s why he hadn’t planned on confronting the issue head-on.

“Young Master, you know that Miss Ye is aware of the purpose of your trip to Han City?” Guan Jiu’s voice carried a hint of confusion through the radio waves.

Sheng Shaochen was taken aback, “What did she say?”

“She said, you and Young Master Sun are cut from the same cloth, both are…”

“Both what?” Sheng Shaochen’s complexion darkened abruptly.

This woman, she actually likened him to Sun Nanjue? In what aspect?

“Both… womanizers… bastards…” As Guan Jiu relayed such rebellious words, his voice was almost swallowed.

“Where is she?” Sheng Shaochen’s voice was deep with anger.

Through the radio waves, Guan Jiu could sense Sheng Shaochen’s terrifying fury.

“Miss Ye refused to disclose.”

“…” Sheng Shaochen ended the call coldly and dialed Sun Nanjue directly.

As soon as the phone connected, Sheng Shaochen’s gloomy voice arose, “Where’s Ye Shu?”

“She’s at Ou Linlin’s… Ah Chen, you say I…”

Before Sun Nanjue could continue his complaints, Sheng Shaochen had hung up.

He then placed the call directly to Ou Linlin.

After a long while, Ou Linlin finally answered, her voice hazy with drunkenness, “Who is it?”

“Where’s Ye Shu? Let her talk on the phone!”

“Who the hell are you? You want Ye Shu to talk on the phone, and I should just let her? I’m in no mood, so bother me less!”

Slam… the sound of the phone being thrown came from the other end of the line.

Sheng Shaochen called out several times, but no one replied.

Frowning, he ended the call and, after a moment of hesitation, dialed Ye Shu’s number.
