Chapter 1324: Sharp-tongued Arrogant Artiste & Super-rich but Insecure Wife 01

【In the process of transmitting the plot……transmission successful。】

The villain Shen Shi, the head of the Shen Clan Group, is a big-shot-like existence.

The original owner Jin Chen was the actor married to him, and although they had been married to the tyrant CEO for nearly two years, scandals kept occurring, and he never proactively clarified them.

This person can anger people just by opening his mouth, catches anyone and argues with them, his emotional intelligence is as low as dirt, and he is a notorious black-and-red artist in the circle.

Shen Shi is decisive and ruthless in his dealings, known in the business world as a poisonous beauty, yet when facing this partner who is nearly eight years younger, he is always prone to inferiority.

From childhood he was not favored, his family was broken, and as he grew older, Shen Shi also yearned more for a stable family and a tacit, loving partner.

He even purchased a mid-sized entertainment company specifically to promote the original owner himself.

But their relationship did not warm up because of this; instead, it gradually moved toward rupture.

The story begins with Jin Chen and Xu Shi participating in a dating reality show 《Heart to Heart》.

As a well-known escape-room-type dating show in the circle, the second season invited the star couple with the highest topic controversy; the male lead Chu Yin and the female lead Cheng Yi were also invited guests.

Unlike the already-married Jin Chen and Shen Shi, the two leads initially were only pretending to be a couple for hype, and participating in the variety show was also an accident.

Coincidentally, the female lead Cheng Yi took a liking to the original owner Jin Chen in the show, almost dancing right in front of Shen Shi.

Shen Shi was never a good person to begin with, and he was utterly merciless toward outsiders; after confronting Cheng Yi, he thoroughly proposed divorce because of this incident.

After that, Cheng Yi's resources in the entertainment industry were blocked, which he thought was Shen Shi's doing; as the uke who never yields to power, he repeatedly called out Shen Shi on public platforms, thereby gaining a wave of fans who thought he was genuine.

What Cheng Yi didn't know was that all of this was orchestrated by Chu Yin, and had nothing to do with Shen Shi.

Chu Yin gradually developed feelings for Cheng Yi while hyping their CP, but he didn't want Cheng Yi to escape his control, never expecting to hinder Cheng Yi's career development.

And Cheng Yi's repeated provocations caused Shen Shi to reach his limit, thoroughly making Cheng Yi lose his job, leaving him with no work in the circle.

Because of this, Cheng Yi's love and career both suffered setbacks, and he almost had a car accident.

Chu Yin naturally wouldn't let Cheng Yi be harmed for nothing, and as the male lead, his identity is destined to be mysterious, not fearing the massive conglomerate.

After going through a bizarre struggle, Chu Yin's feat of charging the pass for the blue-faced anger spread in the circle, and he confirmed a romantic relationship with Cheng Yi.

Although Shen Shi's group suffered no loss, he developed gastric cancer due to long-term pressure and loneliness after the divorce, and soon passed away.

Jin Chen finished receiving all the information, quietly opened his eyes, and just happened to meet Shen Shi's angry gaze.

Even though he is over thirty, Shen Shi's beauty remains extremely aggressive, his loungewear slightly wrinkled, adding a touch of disorder.

Jin Chen admired his wife's beauty, then suddenly touched the tip of his nose.

Just now, he shouted that sentence at Shen Shi.

"If we can make it, we stay together; if we can't, we divorce."

Jin Chen's mouth twitched; he simply looked away, frantically searching for solutions in his mind, secretly annoyed that his words were useless.

Just from that eye contact, Shen Shi inexplicably felt more wronged, his eyes red as he took a sip of water; when he set down the glass, the quiet living room sounded with a slightly trembling noise.

"You… don't say things in anger; even if you don't want to clarify, at least don't let the photos leak out."

Jin Chen recalled that today he was off work at home, and coincidentally ended up on a hot search, the red carpet and the young male actor from the same production being "intimately close".

Nameless anger also flared up.

Jin Chen sat opposite, irritably tapping the coffee table with his fingers, "Everyone says we're just ordinary colleagues; why don't you believe me?"

Shen Shi's eyes reddened further, "You're here with me; what trust value do you still have?"

"I… before… wasn't I enough in trusting you?"

Jin Chen: "……"

First round, loss.

Shen Shi pinched his brow, after calming down he felt a bit regretful; Jin Chen had finally gotten a day off and come back, why couldn't he help but argue?

"I know you've been tired lately; just leave this matter to your agent, and from now on keep some distance from that person, don't… do things you shouldn't, okay?"

Shen Shi's tone softened, coaxing Jin Chen to agree.

But there really isn't anything! Why do you insist on digging into this hornet's nest?

Jin Chen silently cursed in his heart, coldly saying, "Shen Shi, do you still think I did something wrong? Even without any evidence."

Shen Shi gripped the blanket covering him, his jaw tight, "The paparazzi already filmed the hotel; what more evidence do you need?"

Jin Chen sighed, "The hotel was booked by the production crew; I wasn't informed beforehand… forget it."

Jin Chen stood up, completely lacking the mood to explain.

"Do as you wish."

His voice was hard and cold again.

He got up and left, but as he passed the sofa something fell from his pocket, and he didn't notice as he went straight upstairs.

Shen Shi half-closed his eyes, leaning on the sofa; his emotions fluctuated too much, causing stomach spasms, making him feel terrible.

A few minutes after Jin Chen left, Shen Shi finally picked up that small gift box; it was exquisite, but obviously not meant for himself.

Whether he opened it or not, it would be disappointing; Shen Shi clenched the gift box until his fingers whitened, and still, in a self‑punishing manner, took out the brooch inside.

Shen Shi suddenly froze, pressing his fingertip on the emerald set in the brooch, his thoughts drifting away.

It seemed… to be the same model as the one Jin Chen wore at a previous banquet, a pair unique worldwide.

He had mentioned wanting to buy back the other one, but later the group took on a new project and he forgot about it.

The gift box had a set of numbers inlaid, which is the jewelry serial number, customizable; the numbers are his birthday.

Shen Shi called Jin Chen's assistant; previously he only did this during spot checks, and the assistant was a bit surprised to receive the call.

Upon hearing Shen Shi's inquiry, the assistant hesitated a moment, then answered.

"Director Shen, Brother Chen stayed a bit longer at the hotel, but he was just waiting for the brand representative to personally deliver the jewelry… by the way, this is meant to be your anniversary gift."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shi sat alone for a long time,
