Cheng Yun was silent.

Chen Shi sneered.
“I know you have no feelings for me.
I thought I knew you well enough, but I didn’t expect you to be so cruel.”

Cheng Yun had abandoned the young Chen Shu back then.
No matter how he persuaded her to stay, she still resolutely left.

Cheng Yun: “I made a mistake back then.
I wronged you.”

Chen Shi closed his eyes, not wanting to mention the things of the past.
He remembered the purpose of coming today.
“You have come back for a while now.
Have you met with Chen Shu already?”

Cheng Yun was startled and then a little happy.
“Did Chen Shu tell you?” So, Chen Shu would still mention her.

Chen Shi stabbed Cheng Yun mercilessly.
“Chen Shu has never mentioned anything about you.
Do you think that in Chen Shu’s heart, you are still his mother?”

Cheng Yun’s face turned pale, and she slowly lowered her head.

Chen Shi looked at Cheng Yun with a complicated expression.
“We have been husband and wife for a few years at least.
I think I understand your character a bit.

“You do things for a reason.
If there is no reason, you will not return to China, let alone come to Chen Shu.”

Chen Shi looked calm as he asked, “Go ahead.
What are you here for?” Once he knew Cheng Yun’s purpose, he could solve this matter.

Cheng Yun said, “After returning to China this time, I have a lot of money in my hands.
I want to give all of it to Chen.”

“It can provide Chen Shu a good development space.
With these funds to start a business, he will be in a better position.”

Chen Shi stared at Cheng Yun for a few seconds before suddenly smiling.
“So you finally thought of him after all this time? Are you afraid that there will be no one beside you in your old age?”

Cheng Yun’s face became paler.
She wanted to look for her son to make up for her mistakes.

Chen Shi put the final in the coffin.
“Do you know that Chen Shu is the President Chen of Huarui? A little leak from his fingers is something you can’t imagine in your life!”

Cheng Yun raised her head in disbelief.
What?

Chen Shi said coldly, “The Chen Family property and the so-called huge funds in your mouth, combined, can’t even be compared with a bit of Huarui.

“You want to give Chen Shu all your money? Hmph, are you still going to stick to your stupid idea now?”

His every word was ironic, mocking Cheng Yun’s whimsical fantasies.

Cheng Yun couldn’t believe him.
“What did you say? Chen Shu is Huarui’s President Chen?”

How was this possible? How could that be!

Chen Shi: “I don’t have to lie to you.
Just so you know, the son who was neglected by us back then has grown to an immeasurable level.”

Cheng Yun knew that Chen Shi wouldn’t lie to her.
The blow was too heavy for her to bear.
She lost her spirit as she leaned weakly on the chair.

She clearly knew Huarui’s status in the entertainment industry.

Cheng Yun was proud of Chen Shu, but at the same time, her heart was filled with deep panic.
At first, she wanted to use the money to atone for her sins, but now…

Cheng Yun murmured, “I have money now, but he doesn’t need it.
How can I redeem my son? How can I get him back?”

Cheng Yun covered her face and broke into tears.
“I feel so sorry for him.
I did something wrong…” At this moment, Cheng Yun felt that she had fallen into the darkness without any hope.

Chen Shi sighed.
“He is doing very well.
If you still regard Chen Shu as your son, from now on, don’t look for him anymore.
You can go back abroad.”

Cheng Yun stopped crying, her expression wooden.

Chen Shi: “You never fulfilled your responsibility as a mother, so in the future, you will treat him as a stranger.”

A feeling of guilt appeared in Chen Shi’s eyes.
“We were all in the wrong back then.
Don’t repeat the same mistakes again.

“Let go of Chen Shu and forgive yourself.”

Cheng Yun was silent for a long time before she nodded.

After the news of Ye Sui and the youngest son of the Chen Family having an affair was suppressed by the Chen Family, no more rumors came out again.

There was no follow-up, and netizens gradually forgot the matter.
The Chen Family had more strict control over the people entering and exiting.
The paparazzi couldn’t find a chance to take photos secretly now.

At the same time, the movie [Besieged on All Sides] was being cast.

This was a big Hollywood project with a strong team.
Director Zhou was one of the top commercial directors in China in recent years.

Huarui’s two female stars, Ye Sui and Pei Ning, had the opportunity to audition.

Director Zhou had a strong sense of self-consciousness.
The two stars had only participated in the audition.
Whether they could get the role of the heroine was still up in the air.

Ye Sui got up very early on the day of the audition.
She was the first candidate to be there.

As soon as Ye Sui came in, Director Zhou, who was sitting there, gave her a side glance.
If Ye Sui’s intuition was right, his eyes seemed slightly hostile.

Director Zhou knew that Ye Sui had been very popular recently.
She had won the Berlin film queen award as a newcomer.
Thus, both her acting and professionalism were guaranteed.

Even though Ye Sui’s performance in Ning Ling’s biography was rather soulful, Director Zhou did not regard her as the first choice.

[Ning Ling] was directed by Xi Zhao.

Everyone in the industry knew that a person’s acting skills would always be greatly improved under Xi Zhao’s direction.
He had a pair of discerning eyes and could turn corruption into magic.

Xi Zhao could dig out each actor’s unique charm and put it to the maximum on the screen.

In Director Zhou’s eyes, Ye Sui might have a little talent, but it could not let her master every role well.

Even more, Ye Sui had been on the news for three days, so Director Zhou believed that her mind was not on acting.
The current audition was to give Huarui some face.

It could be said that Ye Sui was not in his range of options from the beginning.

After nearly half an hour, all the actresses who came to audition were present.
They were divided into two groups and got an audition clip.

Ye Sui and Pei Ning happened to be in the same group.
They had a busy schedule and had to catch the afternoon announcement, so they were allowed to perform first.

Ye Sui got the role of a female thief, while Pei Ning was cast as a female assassin.
From the beginning, Director Zhou had assigned the heroine’s role to Pei Ning.

Ye Sui knew in her heart that Director Zhou was not satisfied with her and that the difficulty of the audition had increased.

In the scene, the female assassin was taking a bath in the room, and the female thief happened to steal from her.
The two then had a confrontation.

In the script given by the crew, they were not told about the personality of a character, which was to allow them to act freely.

Ye Sui had changed into a black night suit.
She glanced at the furnishings on the scene, remembering it clearly.

There was only a wooden barrel, a bed, and a table with a pot of wine.
She stared at the wine for a few seconds and then had an idea.

The audition began.

Pei Ning was wearing a white tulle and sitting in a wooden barrel.
Her figure was enchanting, but her eyebrows were cold and her tone was indifferent.
“Who’s there?”

The window was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind came in.
She looked closely at a person sitting there.

Ye Sui was leaning lazily on the window frame, her hands were wrapped around her chest, and the knife around her waist seemed to be just hanging casually, as if it was useless.

Pei Ning’s eyebrows were flowing with anger.
She stretched out her hands and put on her clothes.
“Since you are here, do you think you could leave that easily?”

Ye Sui glanced at her leisurely.
She caught a glimpse of Pei Ning’s movements and smiled frivolously.
“I’m just a thief, nothing more.”

There was a dagger hanging in Pei Ning’s dressing room.
She pulled it out and played with it in her hand while sneering.
“Do you know who I am?”

Ye Sui’s eyes twinkled, and she looked at Pei Ning’s fingers carefully.
“Your hands are so beautiful.
It would be a shame to kill you.”

Pei Ning said coldly, “Even I have never counted the souls reaped by these hands.”

“Oh?” Ye Sui rolled her eyes, seemingly pondering but unconcerned.

Pei Ning was about to strike out with her dagger.
She wanted to use the weapon to catch Ye Sui off guard so that she could suppress her aura.

Ye Sui moved, not towards Pei Ning, but to the wine pot on the table.

Ye Sui curled her lips unconcernedly.
“I’m just here for a drink.
Why would you get angry?”

She held up the wine pot in her hand.
Although the props on the set were empty, the onlookers felt that the wine was really cool and fine.

One after another, Pei Ning suddenly fell in a disadvantageous position.
The rest of the play was called off before it was finished.

Pei Ning was stunned.
Just now, she had made some changes herself.
Originally, she wanted to surpass Ye Sui, but it was easily resolved by the other side.

Ye Sui’s actions were not written in the script, but they happened to be connected to the next line.

“Pei Ning, your interpretation is good.” Director Zhou exaggerated.
However, his eyes were a little disappointed, probably because Pei Ning’s performance was above the passing line, but it was far from meeting his expectations.

Director Zhou shifted his sight and turned to Ye Sui.
He didn’t praise Ye Sui.
She was able to play the female thief’s role just now because she chose a distinctive character, which did not mean that she could play the female assassin well.

Director Zhou spoke again, his tone already a little soft.
He recognized Ye Sui as a person with decent acting skills, but he had not yet considered her qualified to be the heroine.

“Both of you swap your roles and show me again.”

Pei Ning’s face turned pale.
She clearly knew that in Zhou Dao’s eyes, she was no longer qualified to compete for the heroine.

Ye Sui smiled.
She had temporarily reversed Director Zhou’s impression of her, but it was far from enough.

The next scene was the key to victory.
