After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Stood Up by Mr. Sheng
 

Ye Shu, though dressed in a T-shirt and shorts with casual white shoes, carried an inherent elegance in her eyes and mannerisms, speaking and behaving with grace and poise.

The receptionist dared not trouble her too much and led her to a temporary charging area.

Ye Shu plugged her dead phone into the charger and turned it on.

Just as she was about to call Sheng Shaochen, she noticed an unread text message.

Upon opening it…

She found it was from Sheng Shaochen, a brief line of text, yet filled with intense emotion.

Ye Shu’s fingertips, touching the phone’s screen, trembled slightly, and her face darkened.

She had almost changed her opinion about Sheng Shaochen, the powerful capitalist, thinking he was merely poor at expressing himself but still compassionate.

However, she hadn’t expected him to be so vengeful.

It appeared that getting him to help her brother today was not going to be easy.

At the very least, she needed to show him her sincere ‘help-seeking attitude.’

Ye Shu cleared her throat, her lips curling slightly upward as she entered a more amiable state and dialed Sheng Shaochen’s number.

As countless pleas raced through her mind, a chilling shutdown tone came from the other end of the phone.

The cold robotic voice, transmitted through the radio waves, made Ye Shu’s fingertips grow cold as well.

Her fingers tightened around the phone slowly, veins slightly bulging on the back of her hand.

So, he had never intended to help her from the beginning.

Was it all just to teach her a lesson?!

Ye Shu’s face quickly paled as she was about to unplug the charger, when Ou Linlin’s call came through.

As soon as Ye Shu answered, Ou Linlin’s voice, both urgent and slightly excited, filled the line, “Ye Shu, where are you? I’m coming to pick you up right now!”

“Linlin, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t go to the set today…”

“Who’s talking about the set? Ye Xinyu, that little wretch, used her injury as an excuse to force the production team to delay filming. Even I don’t need to go to the set now! What I want is for you to accompany me somewhere…”

From the other end came the sound of a sports car speeding, Ou Linlin sounding more and more thrilled, as if a great fortune had befallen her.

But Ye Shu was not in the mood to echo her excitement, given that Ye Zifeng was still waiting in jail for her to arrange bail.

“Linlin, sorry, I’m really not in the mood right now…”

“Please, Director Sun called and specifically asked for you to come. If you don’t, my career might take a sharp downturn…”

The sound of a sports car screeching to a halt transmitted through the radio waves, Ou Linlin clearly becoming more anxious.

Ye Shu furrowed her brows, the name ‘Sun Nanjue’ revolving in her mind.

Maybe she could ask for his help. After all, Sun Nanjue was also a top celebrity in Jin City with extensive connections.

“Fine, come pick me up at the Shengshi Group Headquarters.”

“No problem, my beautiful Ye,” Ou Linlin’s voice excitedly rose with the revving of her sports car.

At Rose Residence, at the end of a green corridor.

Sun Nanjue fiddled with his recently hung-up phone, his face all smiles as he welcomed Sheng Shaochen with open arms.

Regardless of whether Sheng Shaochen was pleased or not, he went in for a hug, “I knew you couldn’t stay away, come on, Ah Chen, let’s drink while we wait for the beauty.”

Saying this, he sidled up and slung an arm over Sheng Shaochen’s shoulder, leading him toward Shuian Blue Bay.

Sheng Shaochen’s steps suddenly halted, as if nailed to the white wool carpet.

His blue eyes bore into Sun Nanjue, his expression dark and inscrutable.
