Chapter 233 Even for Them
She was hit hard and stayed in bed at home for three days.
After all, she couldn't bear to give up that little life. She also always believed that this man had feelings for her, and she always thought that after the child was born, he might change his mind, and she was someone who could help him in business.
Now thinking about it, I don't know what got me into that state of mind. I actually had such a ridiculous idea.
After that, she just followed him without any status. After Xiang Chen was born, he asked her to stay home to recuperate temporarily, citing her frail health. Later, he said the child was still young and needed his mother's company. In short, he used various excuses to gradually purge her confidants in the company.
When she came to her senses, Zhou had no place for her. Only then did she understand how big a game this man had set.
It's not that she hadn't thought about taking her son and leaving. But the power of the Zhou family was greater than anything in the world. After several failures, she couldn't even find a stable job.
Later, she decided not to leave. At least this place could provide her son with the best education and the best connections. It was much better than him wandering around with her. Besides, she had long since lost her love for this man. He had been supporting one woman after another in recent years and wouldn't come to her place to annoy her. Why not spend her money here?
This belief was reinforced when she met his first wife. She was a small-town girl, weak and vulnerable, without a strong opinion, and afraid to even speak in front of her husband. Looking at the room full of his mistresses and illegitimate children, she dared not utter a single word. Suddenly, she understood why the man had said he would never divorce. Indeed, if she were in his place, she would never tolerate such a thing.
At first, she felt apologetic and sympathetic toward the woman. But as soon as she turned around, she glared at her and her son with a vicious look, hurling insults at them with the most obscene language she had ever heard. She tried to explain, but she wouldn't listen, believing it was all the women outside who seduced her husband; otherwise, he would never have cheated.
She was wrong, but was the man really innocent? The woman didn't dare to blame her husband, so she vented all her malice on her and her son. She cursed her Xiang Chen with the most vicious words in the world. This was something she could not tolerate.
From that moment on, she made a bold decision. Xiang Chen was also his son, so why couldn't he take over his family business? She began to slowly lay out her plans, cultivating her own confidants from the bottom of the Zhou family. Not daring to make any big moves, the process was slow, and now it has been ten years.
But she had raised Xiang Chen too well, too kindly. Worried that he wouldn't feel safe in this environment, she hid all the dirty details from him from a young age, only saying good things to him. This led the child to regard the ruthless Zhou family as his true family. Later, when she discovered this, she slowly began to expose him to the truth, but he always softened his heart and refused to fight back.
She had originally thought of this for her son. Now Xiang Chen was unwilling, and she was unwilling to force him. She was about to give up, but suddenly there was a turning point.
Her body suddenly felt lighter, as if she had regained her youthful self. She said to the aunt standing nearby, "Our people won't be leaving. Go and help me investigate something else."
The servants employed at home were actually all arranged by her in advance. On the surface, they were servants, but in fact, each of them was an elite who could stand on their own.
Auntie showed surprise: "Master?"
"Yeah. You go and make the arrangements."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Her steps were no longer as steady as usual. Mother Zhou smiled at her back. She shouldn't have thought of giving up in the first place. If Ruochen didn't want to, she would just go and fight for it. She couldn't let down the people who followed her. They all had ideals and ambitions, even if it was just for them.
As the day wore on, the online reports of Zhou Xiangchen and his lover attending the dinner continued unabated. Initially, the focus shifted to Shen Qinghuan, though the couple's presence had gradually shifted. Praise poured in endlessly, from her demeanor to her looks to her refined manners. Besides Zhou Xiangchen's fans, she attracted quite a few others.
Then, a so-called insider revealed that the reason why Shen Qinghuan returned to China with Zhou Xiangchen this time was because a well-known domestic director extended an olive branch to him. He had invited him many times before, but Mr. Shen was not interested in it. After all, he came from a wealthy family and did not expect to make money in the entertainment industry. But he really couldn't refuse the other party's enthusiasm. So he agreed to act, but only this time, just to experience a different life. It is said that even the reason why Zhou Xiangchen returned to China to develop his career was because he was worried about his "little wife" who wanted to accompany him every day. That's why he chose to return to China to develop his career.
Netizens are calling them such a sweet and loving couple. Who doesn’t like such a good-looking couple?
In addition, it was said that this actor would only film one drama and that would not happen again. This "limited" actor made netizens even more itchy.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's pay attention to it first. Adding the fans he bought in advance, the number of Shen Qinghuan's fans has skyrocketed.
Shen Qingxi sat alone in a dark corner. He should have been happy. He was very successful. Even though he still retained three of his original appearances, his flawless acting skills alone made it impossible for anyone to connect him with the original Shen Qingxi. This was the greatest affirmation of his acting skills.
However, after just a few days, no one really remembered him. Shen Qingxi, who used to cause a stir wherever he went, disappeared for only a few months, and it was as if this person had never existed. He really couldn't be happy.
A day later, the media photographed Shen Qinghuan visiting the largest local entertainment company. When he came out, many media were already waiting at the door, accompanied by their company's top agent.
"Excuse me, has Mr. Shen signed a contract with your company?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen's agent?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, is it true that there are rumors online that you are only filming one drama this time?"
"Mr. Shen, regarding the netizens' comments that you come out to work just to experience life, do you have anything to say?"
The agent waved for silence. "Mr. Shen has signed an agency contract with our company. From today on, I will be Mr. Shen's agent. If you would like an interview, please contact us. However, Mr. Shen has only signed a one-year agency contract with us. During this period, he will only be filming and has no other work arrangements for the time being. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you all."
The reporters were silent for a while. If this was the case, then the rumors on the Internet must be true.
"Mr. Shen has such good conditions, wouldn't you consider being a full-time actor?"
The agent smiled and said, "It's a pity for me too. This is the first time I've seen such a good seedling in the industry. If you could help me persuade Mr. Shen to stay, I would be very grateful."
