Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: Bankrupt CEO (5)
At night, Wen Hongyi asked Chuzheng to sleep in the guest room, locked the upstairs room, and stayed with An Sui.
However, nothing was heard.
“Suisui, did you really hear it?”
An Sui nodded vigorously, feeling aggrieved, “Every ti I fall asleep, the noise starts…”
Wen Hongyi suddenly rembered what Chuzheng had said…
No, no, no!
This is the scientific age.
It’s all feudal superstition.
Wen Hongyi stayed up most of the night. An Sui couldn’t hold on and fell asleep. Seeing nothing unusual, he went back to his room.
However, he hadn’t been gone long when An Sui dashed over.
“Dad, Dad, the noise started again!!”
Wen Hongyi hurriedly followed An Sui back to the room.
It was dark, the quilt was on the floor, showing how quickly An Sui ran out just now.
But there was no sound in the room.
Wen Hongyi turned on the light and scanned the room, but found nothing unusual.
He went upstairs to check, and the room was still securely locked.
But An Sui didn’t seem to be lying…
“How about this, Suisui, you should sleep in the guest room first.”
An Sui, a bit scared of the room now, didn’t dare go back and moved to the guest room.
After all the commotion in the middle of the night, nothing else happened.
The next day, Wen Hongyi had soone inspect the whole house, and naturally, nothing was found.
“Dad, I don’t want to stay in that room anymore…” An Sui tugged at Wen Hongyi, “Let switch rooms with Sister, it was her room originally anyway.”
Chuzheng, casually eating breakfast across the table, quickly replied, “No switch.”
You think you can switch just like that.
Such wishful thinking!
An Sui: “Sis, it was your room originally…”
Chuzheng held her spoon, raised her eyes to briefly glance at An Sui, and parted her lips slightly, “It’s yours now, so live in it well.”
An Sui’s gaze t Chuzheng’s calm and unflinching eyes, seemingly filled with an icy frost that froze her in place.
A chill surged from her feet straight to her head.
An Sui’s arm erupted in goosebumps, and she hastily looked away.
Wen Hongyi seed undecided and ultimately didn’t have Chuzheng switch rooms but instead let An Sui move to the neighboring guest room.
After moving out, An Sui no longer heard the annoying noise.
Finally, An Sui could get a decent night’s sleep.
But the guest room wasn’t as comfortable as that room. Not only was it smaller, but there wasn’t even a walk-in closet.
After staying a few days, An Sui found there were no issues and wanted to move back.
As soon as she moved back, she heard the noise again… and quickly returned to the guest room in embarrassnt.
An Sui felt that this issue wasn’t unrelated to Chuzheng.
Yet Chuzheng maintained a stern face of ‘I didn’t do it, don’t make baseless claims,’ leaving no room for accusation.
Besides gnashing her teeth in frustration, An Sui was helpless.
–
Chuzheng lay on the bed, lazily scrolling through her phone.
The news was filled with tales of so female star’s antics or so male star’s infidelity and dostic violence.
Just as Chuzheng was about to put her phone down, a news alert popped up.
#Wanyuan Group declares bankruptcy at 10 am today#
Before Chuzheng even clicked on the news, Madam Liu Hanshan’s call ca through.
“Zhengzheng.”
“Hmm…”
Chuzheng responded perfunctorily.
“I heard you’ve been staying at Wen Hongyi’s place lately?” Liu Hanshan learned this from the apartnt staff, “Your dad hasn’t been bullying you, right?”
“No.” How could he bully now?
“That’s good.” Liu Hanshan said, “There’s a banquet tonight, Mom will pick you up, alright? Rember to dress nicely.”
Chuzheng: “…”
Can I not go?
Evidently, I can’t.
Liu Hanshan ended the call after reminding her.
Chuzheng’s dream of a lazy day was shattered by several calls from Liu Hanshan in the afternoon.
Chuzheng randomly picked a convenient dress to change into, and as she walked downstairs, she coincidentally ran into An Sui.
An Sui was dressed extravagantly, and next to her, Chuzheng’s dress seed a bit muted in comparison.
However, the girl’s deanor was refreshingly elegant and cool, lacking the gaudy hues and exuding subtle aristocratic elegance.
An Sui deliberately swirled her skirt and approached Chuzheng quickly.
With an air of triumph, An Sui said, “Sister, look at what Dad bought , isn’t it beautiful?”
The original owner never competed over things.
It was about what gifts Wen Hongyi gave as a father.
After realizing this, every ti Wen Hongyi bought sothing for her, An Sui would boast about it to the original owner.
An Sui assud Chuzheng would get angry again this ti, but she just gave her a distant look.
That look, as if she were viewing sothing insignificant.
Apathetic and indifferent.
Uninterested in interacting with the peacock, Chuzheng headed straight downstairs.
Wen Hongyi’s assistant was waiting in the living room, and seeing Chuzheng co down, he froze for a mont.
It seed… he hadn’t notified her.
As the assistant hesitated about what to do, Chuzheng had already bypassed him and walked toward the door. Just outside the villa, Madam Liu Hanshan’s car happened to arrive. Chuzheng opened the door and left without looking back.
The assistant suddenly rembered.
President Wen and President Liu would definitely be attending…
–
The banquet the was a charity auction for children in mountainous areas.
So the banquet wasn’t as lavish as Chuzheng had anticipated, and everyone was dressed quite understatedly—even though the understatent was rely in style and color.
Madam Liu Hanshan led Chuzheng inside and seed quite satisfied with how she was dressed.
“I was worried you’d be too overdressed.”
“…”
This outfit is easier to… move in.
Just past the entrance, you could see various promotional posters and standees, with several brochures placed on long tables.
The big screen was playing footage on the condition of children in impoverished mountain areas, their innocent and honest voices reverberating through the hall.
“Zhengzheng, rember to bid on sothing casually later.” Liu Hanshan instructed Chuzheng, “Mom will cover the cost.”
“…”
The bastard won’t give you that chance.
The bastard never misses a chance.
Liu Hanshan introduced Chuzheng to a few people, and Chuzheng greeted them politely, if a little coolly.
While Liu Hanshan chatted cheerfully with others, so attention shifted toward the entrance.
Wen Hongyi entered with An Sui.
An Sui’s dress was eye-catching in color, and its skirt billowed large. As she entered, she caught a lot of attention.
With a sardonic smile, Liu Hanshan sipped her champagne and remarked to Chuzheng, “Your dad certainly lacks a sense of occasion.”
Wen Hongyi didn’t realize An Sui would dress like that either.
At the entrance, it was too late to change, so Wen Hongyi could only bring An Sui as they were.
An Sui clearly sensed that the setting wasn’t right.
The smile she wore upon entering quickly subsided, and she stood nervously beside Wen Hongyi.
Inwardly, she thought about how Chuzheng must have known about the event. She’s probably laughing at seeing dressed like this at ho, right?
Wen Hongyi’s gaze swept through the crowd and landed on the graceful girl standing beside Liu Hanshan. Her deanor couldn’t be matched by An Sui.
But rembering An Sui hadn’t grown up by his side…
If she had, she would have been like Chuzheng.
This thought only deepened Wen Hongyi’s guilt towards An Sui.
“Suisui, it’s okay, just follow Dad.”
An Sui nodded and followed Wen Hongyi inside.
The surrounding gazes made An Sui feel uncomfortable.
Though not raised in the Wen Family ho, An Sui had been taught etiquette by specialists Wen Hongyi hired since childhood.
Even though An Sui dressed a bit flamboyantly, she was proper in manners.
