Chapter 51: The Relationship Between Father Su and Wen Shu
The weather was clear, with soft, cotton-like white clouds drifting in the deep blue sky. The bright but not glaring sunlight fell on the lawn of the villa’s garden, creating a quiet and beautiful scene.
The guests were seated at round tables, dressed in glamorous and beautiful clothes, chatting and laughing softly.
Seeing Mother Su staring blankly at the table, the Wu family’s sister-in-law intentionally comforted her. “Little Qian, don’t worry too much about the online matters. Every family has its own difficulties. I think that child, Chi Xiasheng, will understand.”
Being called out, Mother Su finally came back to her senses. She glanced at Father Su next to her and forced a smile. “I know.”
A young girl in a light yellow dress next to her looked up from her phone, frowned, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “Auntie Su, why didn’t you bring Su Chimian? Is he afraid to come?”
Young people were all experts at surfing the internet. This girl had been eating melons on Weibo for a whole day and night. Combined with the fact that she was from a wealthy family, she could more or less guess some things.
The story of being switched at birth was a lie. It was just an excuse to fool the Su family’s relatives. After all, Mother Su had only given birth to one son back then. Now that there was an extra one, how could the other relatives not be suspicious?
So, Father Su had just made up an excuse to fool them, but who knew it would become a well-known fact.
I’m afraid both Su Chimian and Chi Xiasheng are his biological children. It’s just that he had to give one up for the sake of interests.
Hearing the younger generation’s taunt, Mother Su’s face turned a little ugly.
A woman on the side reprimanded the girl. “Little Li, you can’t be so rude to your elders.”
The girl named Little Li clearly had a rebellious personality. Hearing this, she just rolled her eyes. “What’s so rude about me? If you do something disgusting, you can’t let people talk about it?”
She herself had many brothers and sisters and knew what it was like to not be valued by her parents. And Chi Xiasheng had directly severed ties with the Su family on Weibo, which showed that they had already pushed him to a dead end.
If she had to say it, some people just didn’t deserve to be parents.
After the girl finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dining table clearly froze.
Father Su’s face was dark. He didn’t want to make a scene at the Wu family’s wedding banquet, and the other party was a junior. If he really bickered, it would make people say he had no grace.
Bai Ranran, who was sitting on the other side waiting for dinner, burst out laughing and secretly gave the girl a thumbs-up.
Sister, you’re so brave!
To be able to say that in front of Father Su’s foul face, she really is the famous rebellious female tyrant in the circle!
The girl snorted. She just couldn’t stand it.
And that Su Chimian, she had long disliked his white lotus personality.
Fortunately, the guests gradually increased, and the people who came later livened up the atmosphere, finally easing the situation.
Many people came to this gathering, and many small entrepreneurs also got the opportunity to get to know some of the big shots in the wealthy families.
Although in many people’s eyes, Father Su’s image was too utilitarian, the Su family was still at a height they couldn’t reach, so there were many people who toasted him.
As a rising star in the industry, Xu Bin naturally also wanted to get to know Su Chengjian. But before he could raise his glass, he received a call from Wen Shu.
Wen Shu was originally supposed to arrive with him, but she had temporarily felt that the hem of her dress was not suitable and had gone to have it altered, which was why she was a step late.
When she came down, she couldn’t find the place and called him to pick her up.
As Wen Shu’s current boyfriend, Xu Bin naturally prioritized his girlfriend’s matters. He quickly put down his wine glass and prepared to go pick her up.
A few of his business partners teased him. “Oh, what great beauty needs our Brother Bin to pick her up personally?”
“Haha, sister-in-law must be incredibly beautiful. Otherwise, how could our workaholic Brother Bin have fallen in love?”
Xu Bin waved his hand humbly and said no, but the smile on his lips couldn’t be suppressed.
In his eyes, Wen Shu was an extremely beautiful and gentle woman, and she was also talented and had an independent and unrestrained mind. To be with her was something he had never dared to dream of.
Although she had two sons, it wasn’t a big problem, he thought. Since he was dating her, he would respect her past.
Wen Shu was wearing a red dress, and it was very inconvenient to walk on the lawn in her high heels. When she saw Xu Bin coming, she quickly waved at him.
“Quick, let me hold on to you. My shoes are not easy to walk in.”
Xu Bin offered his arm, and she naturally took it.
“Let’s go. Have the dishes been served yet?”
Xu Bin was still in a daze from Wen Shu’s appearance today. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh and sigh. “There are juices and some desserts on the table. You can have some to fill your stomach.”
Only then did Wen Shu nod. To not have a belly in her dress, she had come without eating breakfast.
When she followed Xu Bin into the small garden where the guests were, many people who saw her had their eyes wide open.
“Damn, Brother Bin, where did you find such a beautiful sister-in-law? She’s so beautiful!”
“She’s much more beautiful than that popular Li Chun in the entertainment industry!”
Xu Bin said “hi” and humbly said no.
Wen Shu, on the other hand, smiled brightly and gracefully took her seat with him.
The others wanted to tease them some more, but the wedding music had already started to play, so they all went back to their seats.
Wen Shu looked around. The seat she was in was in the back. There were at least a hundred tables at this wedding banquet, and you couldn’t see the end of it.
With so many dark, round heads, she couldn’t see where Chi Xiasheng and the others were sitting.
Since she couldn’t find them, she could only look away and eat a piece of cake while watching the wedding.
When Chi Xiasheng and Pei Zhixuan arrived, they happened to meet Bo Wenye, who was about to enter.
He was still pushing his little nephew, Bo Wenxing. The little guy’s face looked much rosier than the last time they had met, and his eyes were sparkling. The moment he saw Chi Xiasheng, he immediately called out his name. “Brother Xiasheng!”
Chi Xiasheng squatted down and patted his little head, greeting him. “How have you been, Xingxing? Your little face looks a lot chubbier.”
Hearing this, Bo Wenxing’s expression immediately became a lot shyer. “I’m not very fat.”
Bo Wenye also smiled and shook his head. “His legs can already walk on the ground, but the doctor said he’s still in the recovery period. It will take another year or two for him to be completely like a normal person.”
Chi Xiasheng was also very happy for this little boy. A smile appeared on his lips, and he was about to say something more when he heard Pei Zhixuan on the side say, “Xiaxia, do you know Director Bo?”
Pei Zhixuan looked at Bo Wenye, his gaze unconsciously becoming a bit scrutinizing.
It was the same look as when he had looked at Sheng Sheng, full of appraisal.
He’s decent-looking, but he’s a director. He’s too busy filming and definitely can’t take care of his family. And he has a burdensome nephew.
No, this condition is definitely not acceptable!
Pei Zhixuan’s internal alarm bells went off. He took a step forward without changing his expression and separated Chi Xiasheng from Bo Wenye.
Xiaxia is the most precious little merman. As his elder, I have to properly vet him!
Bo Wenye did indeed have some romantic feelings for Chi Xiasheng. Seeing Pei Zhixuan appear out of nowhere, his eyes unconsciously narrowed.
“I’m Bo Wenye. Film Emperor Pei, I’ve heard so much about you.”
Pei Zhixuan politely shook his hand back. “Hello. Xiaxia and I have something to do, so we’ll be leaving first.”
Bo Wenye’s gaze lingered on Pei Zhixuan and Chi Xiasheng for a moment, but in the end, he still said, not to be outdone, “Xiaxia and I haven’t seen each other for a long time either. Why don’t we sit together? We can take care of each other.”
Little Bo Wenxing also timely pulled on Chi Xiasheng’s hand. “Brother Xiasheng, let’s go together!”
Seeing his cute appearance, Chi Xiasheng’s heart softened a little, and he naturally nodded in agreement.
“Alright.”
Pei Zhixuan looked at Chi Xiasheng pushing the wheelchair towards the seat and sighed inwardly.
This Bo Wenye is too cunning. I was originally interested in collaborating with him, but now I have to properly investigate him.
After taking his seat, Chi Xiasheng found that most of the people around him were not of low status in the entertainment industry.
Pei Zhixuan thoughtfully introduced them to him. “This is Old Li. He has a very high status in the singer circle. And this is Ms. Zhou…”
An actor on the side saw Chi Xiasheng and Pei Zhixuan together and asked curiously, “Brother Pei, you two…”
Pei Zhixuan said very naturally, “This is my younger brother. I just found him recently. Please take care of him in the future.”
Everyone was dazed.
Isn’t Chi Xiasheng from the Su family? How is he also related to Pei Zhixuan as a brother?
“We have the same mother.”
Pei Zhixuan, afraid that others would misunderstand Chi Xiasheng, deliberately mentioned it.
Now everyone understood.
It seems they are half-brothers. This Chi Xiasheng is really lucky. His biological father is a business tycoon, and his biological brother is a film emperor in the industry.
Although his relationship with his father’s side has completely broken down, he still has his film emperor brother to protect him. The thought of it makes one envious.
Bo Wenye didn’t expect their relationship to be so pure. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
“Zhixuan, what are your plans for your next movie? I have a very good script here…”
Pei Zhixuan saw through his little trick of trying to get close and refused without buying it. “I’ll see. Xiaxia, have something to eat.”
Chi Xiasheng had just finished teasing Little Bo Wenxing and didn’t notice the strange atmosphere between the two. He smiled and agreed.
When the wedding was almost over, he received a call from Li Ge. “Xiaosheng, I’m at the entrance of this villa. Are you not at home?”
Chi Xiasheng’s decision to come to this wedding was also a last-minute one. He hadn’t had time to tell Li Ge, so he quickly said, “Yes. Why are you here, Li Ge?”
Li Ge looked at this villa, clicked his tongue, and then said, “That’s really a coincidence. Shengshi Group said today that they wanted to talk about the previous endorsement. I was originally planning to pick you up first.”
The endorsement with Shengshi was a long time ago. But later, Chi Xiasheng had disappeared, and he had never had time to complete this work.
Hearing Li Ge bring it up again, Chi Xiasheng couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. “Shengshi Group… they’re not going to change the spokesperson, are they?”
Although he had completely turned his negative image around and had even gained the sympathy of many netizens, the endorsement of Shengshi Group was still very weighty. He didn’t want to lose this resource because of his own reasons.
Li Ge was also not sure, but he felt that their tone was quite good. “Probably… not, right?”
Seeing that the wedding was almost over, Chi Xiasheng simply told Pei Zhixuan and planned to leave early.
Hearing this, Pei Zhixuan inexplicably thought of Sheng Sheng.
It must be that Sheng Sheng is up to something!
Pei Zhixuan’s intuition was extremely accurate, so he also thoughtfully planned to go with Chi Xiasheng. “I’ve dealt with Sheng Sheng before. I’ll go with you.”
Chi Xiasheng nodded, and the two of them left first.
They had just left the wedding venue when the bride’s bouquet fell into Wen Shu’s hands.
Wen Shu had just gone up to join in the fun, but she never expected the bouquet to be thrown so accurately, directly hitting her on the forehead.
She just caught it subconsciously. It was only when she came to her senses that she found she had something in her hand.
The people around let out a good-natured cheer. “It seems Miss Wen and Xu Bin’s good news is near!”
Xu Bin was so embarrassed his face turned red, but Wen Shu thought to herself, What is this nonsense? I can’t step into the grave of marriage!
But before she could speak, she heard Su Chengjian on the side open his eyes wide in disbelief, staring at her. “Shu’er! You… you’re finally willing to come back!”
