The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Despised Shen Shushan

Chu Yuheng casually picked up the phone lying on the sofa.

As soon as he saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed.

“Young Master Shen, what kind of stunt are you pulling this time?”

“The TV drama we filmed together last time—I’m planning to buy the script. Would you be interested in continuing to shoot it?”

Chu Yuheng immediately sat up straight.

She still had an investment in that script!

If such a great script were wasted because of issues with the director’s team, Chu Yuheng would be genuinely unwilling.

“Alright, my agent will talk to you about the collaboration. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Shen Shushan hurriedly responded, “Are you going to Ye Yi’s new product launch?”

Chu Yuheng glanced at Ji Qiurong, who was standing right in front of her.

Why would she attend the launch?

Isn’t she already backstage at Ye Yi’s event?

“Young Master Shen, I’ve told you—your endorsement is secure. Don’t forget we still have a wager.”

If Shen Shushan secured Ye Yi’s endorsement, he would have to agree to one of Chu Yuheng’s conditions!

“Alright.”

Before Shen Shushan could finish speaking, Chu Yuheng directly hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, she decided to block his number altogether!

Ji Qiurong’s eyes widened in shock!

“Chu Jie, didn’t you just agree to shoot another drama with him? Is it really appropriate to block someone right after?”

Chu Yuheng shrugged.

“These things can be handled by my agent. And besides, I absolutely don’t want to deal with his mother calling me again—I’m going to get a heart attack!”

Ji Qiurong burst into uncontrollable laughter!

“Chu Jie, are you really not interested in Shen San Shao at all?”

“Not interested.”

Chu Yuheng answered decisively and without hesitation.

“In my eyes, he’s just a kid! I don’t have a crush on kids—how could I possibly be into him?”

Beidou Star had seen far too much of the world.

Far more than what most people could even begin to handle.

Even though Young Master Shen of the Shen Family was much more accomplished than his peers, in Chu Yuheng’s eyes, he still seemed a bit immature.

Chu Yuheng stretched lazily, revealing her captivating curves.

“Look at the boss—she chose a man who’s walking her same path. If I can’t find a companion like that, why should I settle?”

Only someone like Chu Yuheng would find being with the son of the Shen Family a compromise!

Ji Qiurong nodded in agreement.

“That’s true enough. But someone like Chairman Pei is one-of-a-kind. Surely you’re not just saying this because you think you’re not good enough for the Shen Family, right?”

Chu Yuheng wagged her finger playfully.

Though she claimed to be an orphan and “not good enough” for the Shen Family…

“I, for one, am good enough for *anyone*! As for Young Master Shen—he’s just not my type right now. In the future, who knows? But at least until he understands my past, he’s not qualified to stand on equal footing with me.”

At this point, Chu Yuheng only wanted to move forward.

In her eyes, Shen Shushan, who had always lived a smooth-sailing life, could never truly comprehend her past struggles!

Ji Qiurong chuckled knowingly.

“Who says Young Master Shen’s life has been smooth sailing? Hasn’t he run into you now? You’re probably the biggest challenge he’s ever faced!”

It was obvious to any observer that Shen Shushan had some unique feelings for Chu Yuheng.

But alas, a heart yearning for the flower meets a stream that flows indifferent!

Chu Yuheng rolled her eyes and put on her sunglasses.

“Someone like him, never having faced such a big challenge in life, should be grateful! A trial as beautiful as me? His ancestors must be rejoicing in their graves to have this kind of fortune!”

…

Elsewhere.

Qingwu had just finished a check-up with Elder Pei and reminded him of some precautions.

“If there’s anything you’d like to eat, just let us know.”

Elder Pei could barely recognize the person in front of him anymore!

His eyes were gradually losing focus, but seeing Qingwu, he suddenly widened them!

“Huazhen? Why are you here? Oh, now I remember—you’re incredibly skilled in medicine!”

Everyone in the room fell into silence.

Elder Pei thought hard.

“I’m fine, probably just caught a cold! You’d better go back and find Old Shen!”

The old man looked around the room repeatedly, growing a little anxious.

“Huazhen, did you see my wife anywhere?”

Elder Pei’s wife was right by the window, but he clearly didn’t recognize her anymore!

Qingwu sighed softly.

“Elder Pei’s memory seems to be stuck in the past. This will likely happen more frequently.”

Elder Pei grew increasingly anxious as he searched for her.

“Huazhen, do you think Lanyi is upset with me? I didn’t mean to stop her from singing—I was just worried about her overexerting herself. She hasn’t been in good health since giving birth to A’Shu!”

Madam Pei’s gaze flickered.

Du Shu spoke up, “Dad, how come you never said that before?”

“Said what? Lanyi’s stubborn—if I ever told her her health wasn’t suited for singing, she’d insist on singing three days and nights straight! Haha… And now I have a daughter!”

“Huazhen, why don’t you prescribe some medicine for Lanyi? Let’s help her recover—we only need to raise one child. Taking her surname would be nice too! Women go through hell giving birth!”

Elder Pei’s face bore a youthful smile that seemed at odds with his age.

It was almost as if he were a young father reveling in the joy his child had brought him.

But clearly, what overwhelmed him most was his concern for his wife!

Qingwu, understanding the situation, simply nodded.

“Alright.”

A couple of minutes passed.

Elder Pei turned to his eldest daughter, “A’Shu, get everything ready—I’m going swimming this afternoon!”

“You want to swim right now?”

“Your mother has been sick recently, and I need to stay strong to take care of her properly in the future.”

Du Shu recalled a time when Madam Pei indeed had poor health.

Back then, Du Shu had been complaining to her husband.

Even though their family didn’t lack caregivers and attendants for Madam Pei, why, oh why, did Elder Pei insist on swimming every single day?

Every afternoon, without fail, he’d head to the pool, only to return to the hospital for another quarrel with Madam Pei.

Du Shu struggled to keep her tears from falling.

“My mother has recovered already—the one who’s sick now is you…”

Elder Pei appeared lost in thought!

“It’s me? It’s really me… That’s fine. Lanyi would never look after me—she’s never liked caregiving to begin with.”

Du Shu turned her back to discreetly wipe away her tears.

Sitting by the window, Madam Pei’s face softened with a gentle smile like none before.

As soon as Elder Pei spotted her, his entire demeanor visibly brightened!

“Lanyi, come here—sit with me!”

“Alright.”

The two elderly figures leaned close, Elder Pei gazing at the younger generation gathered nearby in satisfaction.

“Ah, such days—they won’t last forever…”

Beside him, Madam Pei slowly closed her eyes.

Speaking softly, so softly no one could hear her.

“They will. They’ll last for a long, long time.”

…

Ji Qiurong’s call came through.

“Boss, your gown is finished. Master Li said he wants to showcase it at the exhibition and asked you to join him!”

Li Zhu had returned to the country this time specifically to personally oversee the creation of Qingwu’s engagement gown.

Incidentally, he planned to complete the final step of the gown’s design live at the exhibition!

For this crucial step, Li Zhu requested Qingwu to collaborate with him.

“Alright, I’ll be there right away.”

When Shen Shaojia heard that they were going to retrieve Qingwu’s engagement gown, he insisted on tagging along!
