Chapter 60: Patriarch Chen’s Birthday (2)

“And your wife. When she first started her career, she was scolded by netizens. Your life is just too difficult. So, who’s next now?”

When he uttered Ye Sui’s name, Chen Shu finally raised his eyes, a cold glimmer flashing in them, and his face instantly sank. Ye Sui was the only one he cared about now. He didn’t want to hear others saying that she was not good at all.

At this point, Ye Sui had finished her work. As soon as she was done, she immediately set off to Chen’s Mansion.

When Ye Sui arrived, her eyes swept around, looking for Chen Shu. She soon saw his figure, smiled, and walked towards him.

Before Ye Sui could walk over, however, he saw a man walking up to Chen Shu and talking to him. Chen Shu didn’t look at the man and didn’t seem to engage in a conversation with him.

Ye Sui frowned, and in her mind, she suddenly had a bad feeling. She quickly walked over to smooth things over. As she approached, though, the harsh words fell clearly into her ears.

Unlucky, killed your brother, abandoned by your mother… Every word was like a thorn stuck in Ye Sui’s heart.

Ye Sui’s hands trembled with anger.

She knew that other people said Chen Shu had a hard life, but she didn’t expect anyone to mention it face to face on Patriarch Chen’s birthday.

Ye Sui was already furious, but Chen Shu was numb and had no expression on his face. He seemed to have been used to all the bad things others did to him.

But she would not allow others to belittle Chen Shu, who should not be treated as such.

Ye Sui picked up a glass of wine, walked to the man’s side, and pretended to spill the wine inadvertently. The man felt cold at his sleeve and looked at it with a frown. He found it was Chen Shu’s wife, Ye Sui.

Ye Sui shook the wine glass and complained, “Grrr! Such a waste of this precious wine by spilling it on someone with short eyes.”

As she spoke, she stared at the man as if to say: look, you are such a short-sighted person.

When the man saw that not only Ye Sui didn’t apologize, but she also criticized him, he growled at her, “What did you say?”

Ye Sui laughed coldly. “What did I say?”

Her tone slightly sank with an indifferent expression. “I told you to shut your foul mouth. You say that other people’s lives are hard without any proof. Are you a deity? Chen Family does not welcome people like you.”

The man was speechless, wanting to use his status to crush Ye Sui. “You don’t respect your elders!”

Ye Sui paid no attention and glanced up and down at the man. “I don’t respect people like you who downgrade others like me.”

Ye Sui then changed her tone. “Do you know what’s the occasion now? Today is my father-in-law’s birthday party.

“You are just a remote, distant relative who can’t be further away. Even by coming here, you already used your thick face. Yet you act all high and mighty and find faults in my husband.

“I’ll ask you, where did you get the confidence to say such things on this important event?”

Ye Sui pressed forward and refused to budge. Every word reminded the man one thing: who are you to dare scold Chen Shu?

The man was so stunned by Ye Sui that he could not say a word.

Chen Shu saw Ye Sui helping him speak up, and his eyes became filled with deep emotions.

Wanting to frighten the man, Ye Sui deliberately said, “By the way, do you feel a little cold?”

She then looked at the man’s neck, her face showing fear. “I saw a female ghost lying on your neck. She was wearing red clothes; her face was pale; and her tongue was long like a snake. She also looked at you and said that she was starving…”

The man’s face turned white with fear. He believed in supernatural things and did not doubt the truth of the sentence. He hurried out, ready to go to the temple to ask for a blessing.

However, he walked too fast and fell heavily at the door, attracting the attention of others.

Ye Sui saw that the man was scared away and felt relieved. Subsequently, she looked at Chen Shu, took his hand, and walked out. “The air here is too bad. Let’s go outside.”
