Ellie thought she would return to the Shen family after recording the first episode of the show. What awaited her would be a surge in fame and invitations from all over the place.
But she and Shen Han were kicked out of the car midway, and everything came to nothing.
All that was waiting for her was posts that could read thousands of pages, thousands of black posts on a certain page, and anti-fans and abuses that can be seen everywhere on the Internet.
Party A broke all the contracts that were about to be negotiated, and even threatened to sue Shen Han and demand huge compensation for her.
One afternoon, Ellie was exhausted mentally and physically.
And all of this was just because Shen Han crushed a bird to death!
"Mom, I will reflect on what happened this time. Don't worry, I will never let Xiaohan get hurt... Well, okay... Goodbye, Mom."
In the imperial capital, the Shen family villa was wrapped in the thick night.
In the Shen family living room, Ellie was sitting on a corner of the European-style sofa, holding her mobile phone with one hand and tightly holding the hem of her skirt with the other hand, her expression so ugly that she could almost drip with tears.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said.
The next second, Ellie's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said: "No, Mom, I won't bother you to go there in person. Xiaohan is fine. He has fallen asleep now."
"...Don't worry, I will take good care of him." The first few words were bitten particularly hard.
After hanging up the phone, Ellie raised her eyes with resentment and looked at the bedroom behind the corner on the second floor of the villa.
That was the room where Shen Han was.
Shen Han, the instigator, was protected by Shen Ji and grandma. After just a few words, he was sent upstairs to rest.
Shen Ji's mother called, openly and secretly taunting her that if she didn't know how to be a mother, she should not be a mother. She was just such a precious grandson, and he couldn't be spared if something happened to her.
And Shen Ji actually didn't say a word to her. Ellie, the stepmother, acted like a different person inside and out, almost going crazy.
"Is it my fault?" Ellie said in a self-deprecating tone, and her nails scratched the leather sofa, leaving several dazzling marks.
If it weren't for Shen Han, how could she get off the show.
He was kicked off the bus in front of millions of netizens.
This incident is enough to make colleagues laugh for ten years.
Her face was completely humiliated.
The most difficult thing is that netizens are clamoring for an explanation. Under the pressure of multiple public opinions, Ai Li can only officially announce on Weibo that she will take Shen Han to a professional hospital to evaluate his mental condition.
And, the results will be announced to the entire network.
"Who allowed you to decide such a big matter without authorization! When you told netizens that you wanted to take Xiaohan to the hospital, weren't you just saying that Xiaohan was sick?!"
Late at night, Shen Ji came home smelling of alcohol and scolded his wife.
Ai Li stood up from the sofa helplessly, almost stunned by his scolding. The two had been married for so long, and this was the first time Shen Ji had quarreled with her.
It's true that I feel for Shen Han, but everything is obviously Shen Han's fault!
Shen Han walked down from upstairs barefoot and sat on his father's lap. He hugged his father's neck with two small arms, and big tears flowed down his cheeks.
"dad……"
Looking at it this way, he looks like a proper little victim, without any of the ruthlessness of squeezing a sparrow to death.
Ai Li was not stupid enough to confront Shen Ji head-on. She knew which of his tricks he liked the most. She quickly calmed down her mood and said softly with red eyes: "You drank too much. I'll make you a cup of honey water." .”
Very smart approach, showing weakness and changing the subject.
After saying that, she wiped the glittering corners of her eyes with her fingers, turned around and walked to the kitchen, and after a while she brought out a glass of honey water.
Ellie personally brought it to her husband and put the rim of the cup almost against his lips. The aroma of honey was fragrant, mixed with the fragrant aroma of her wife after bathing.
The corners of his wife's eyes were reddish, and she faced him with tenderness and sweetness. Shen Ji's heart was filled with anger when he walked in, but it had also subsided by six points.
He hugged his son tightly with one hand, took the honey water, and drank it all with a serious expression.
*
Early the next morning, Shen Ji went downstairs sleepily and suddenly heard someone crying downstairs.
He stopped and frowned, wondering who was so unlucky so early in the morning.
He took two steps down and opened his mouth to curse. He looked up and saw a weak lavender figure leaning against the flower window. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ellie?
He listened carefully and found out that Ellie was on the phone, and the person on the other end of the phone was his father-in-law, Leng Feng.
Ellie held the phone with tears streaming down her face and choked several times.
"Dad," she said, "Qingqing and I are sisters anyway. I really don't know why she targeted me over and over again on the show. It's okay that I was kicked out of the show, but Shen Ji was angry. , I, our two projects..."
When it came to the key point, Ellie cried so much that she stammered and almost made Leng Feng anxious to death.
"My dear daughter, please tell me, what did my son-in-law say?! The project was blown?"
On the other end of the phone, Leng Feng's eyes widened, anxiously waiting for his stepdaughter to answer.
Beside him stood a beautiful woman wearing a dark green cheongsam with tangled peonies. The beautiful woman leaned on Leng Feng's shoulder, her ears raised alertly, listening to the sound on the phone. Her facial features were seventy-nine times similar to Ellie's. , it is Ellie’s biological mother Xu Meijun.
"He didn't say that..."
After waiting for a long time, they finally got some reassurance. Leng Feng and the other two just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ellie sobbing again.
"But he did mean it."
Leng Feng's heart clenched violently.
My son-in-law wants to cancel the cooperation project with the company, so that’s okay!
The more Leng Feng thought about it, the angrier he became. His face darkened, and he said angrily in a deep voice: "My dear daughter, please stop crying. I will call that unfilial daughter right now and say this to you and your grandson!"
After hanging up the phone, Ellie still leaned against the window, crying sadly.
Through the reflection of the window, she had already seen Shen Ji eavesdropping on the phone at the corner of the stairs.
Shen Ji slowly went downstairs, feeling suspicious in his heart. He had known that his wife had a sister, but he heard from Ellie that the relationship between the two was not good.
How bad is it? He has not seen this sister since the two got married.
Shen Ji even suspected that this sister was fabricated by Ellie out of thin air.
After listening to the phone call today, he was inevitably surprised. Could it be that Ellie's sister was the female star Leng Qingqing who was on the same show with her?
"Are you up?" Shen Ji was thinking when he heard Ellie's warm voice asking from downstairs: "Are you hungry? I'll ask Ma Zhang to bring you breakfast."
She was leaning against the window sill, wearing only a thin nightgown. There were dark marks under her eyes, probably because she didn't get a good night's rest because of what happened last night.
But when facing Shen Ji, his smile remained the same.
Because of last night's anger, Shen Ji suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and quickly walked downstairs and hugged her.
Ellie meekly lay on his shoulder, seeming to have completely forgotten his one-sided cold war last night: "Didn't you say you wanted to discuss cooperation with Huo a few days ago? How is the negotiation going? When will you talk to Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo? When we meet, I can prepare in advance."
People can't have both ends. Since her career has been temporarily hindered, Ellie decided to focus on the most important things at the moment.
Huo's? Shen Ji cleared his throat, his voice slightly unnatural, and pushed her away and said, "The time is only in the next few days. I will notify you in advance when the time comes."
Ellie, who was immersed in ecstasy, did not realize that something was wrong with her husband.
She was already thinking about what jewelry and high-end clothing she should wear when they meet, so as not to be overpowered by Mrs. Huo.
Shen Ji sat at the dining table with a heavy gaze.
Shen was actually just negotiating a project with Huo's subsidiaries. With the level of this project, he would never see Huo Jingsen in person.
Even if they can cooperate, the best they can do is meet and negotiate with Huo Jingsen's subordinates.
As for having dinner with Mrs. Huo, it's even more ridiculous, because in a few days it will be the anniversary of the founding of Huo's Enterprise, and Huo Jingsen will definitely bring his wife to attend. This is also the tradition of Huo's Enterprise.
Ellie served him a bowl of wontons and was still asking him about cooperation.
Shen Ji was annoyed by what he heard, and stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth with a gloomy look, without answering.
