Xia Chuyue's words struck Shen's head like a thunderbolt.
For so many years he had never shown his emotions, but this time he was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
Xia Xinxin, who was standing next to him, clearly knew something. She was afraid that Boss Shen would be reminded of his biological mother, Li Ling, because of Xia Chuyue's words, and would realize that something was wrong.
Her eyes darted around, and she quickly changed the subject.
"Uncle Shen, I wonder when this show will start filming? I can't wait!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyue clicked her tongue softly.
[You're really impatient; several of the other contestants are just there to make you look good!]
This show, as expected from Liyou Entertainment, is absolutely awful and chaotic.
[Contestants from big companies have a script, their debut is a sure thing; contestants from small companies with no connections are secretly being smeared by various people, waiting to be attacked as soon as the show airs, to generate publicity for the show.]
[Liyou Entertainment has made a lot of money in the past two years by relying on these kinds of gimmicky variety shows.]
His reputation in the industry and among netizens is almost ruined, but judging from Mr. Shen's attitude, he doesn't seem to care much.
Boss Shen's expression remained unchanged after listening to Xia Chuyue's complaints.
He was still processing the gossip Xia Chuyue had shared earlier.
He actually mistook his savior for someone else all along?!
Xia Chuyue drank two cups of tea, propped her chin up with her hand, and began to complain even more enthusiastically.
[I wonder if Boss Shen will regret it when he finds out the truth. The son of his true benefactor appeared on a boy group variety show produced by Liyou Entertainment. Because of his outstanding talent, he was bullied and smeared by a big company, and eventually got into a car accident and injured his leg.]
He never tried to curb the atmosphere at Liyou Entertainment, and inadvertently repaid kindness with enmity. If his benefactor knew, he would definitely hate him to death!
Mr. Shen's eyes widened, and he almost dropped the cup he was holding.
His benefactor's son broke his leg because of a variety show produced by his own company?!
Boss Shen is a successful and competent businessman, but he is cunning, ruthless, and utterly devoid of conscience.
Only on that day at the bridgehead did he jump into the icy river, feeling despair and pain.
He would never forget the dawn's light shining down from the river, and a pair of strong, firm hands pulling him out of the abyss of darkness.
A warm, pulsating heartbeat emanated from their bodies pressed close together, and Boss Shen felt a surge of warmth and excitement at that moment.
It wasn't love. For Boss Shen, classifying this feeling as love would tarnish it.
It's just that the beauty and gentleness of the mortal world that he longed for has become tangible.
He wanted to protect this rare kindness.
After gaining power and status, Boss Shen agreed to his benefactor Li Ling's request without hesitation.
Isn't it just about cooperating with Xie Yuanping to bring down his competitors through public opinion?
Liyou Entertainment may not have much else, but it almost never loses in the battle of public opinion!
Liyou Entertainment has harmed so many celebrities, yet it still survives to this day. Isn't that all thanks to its ability to distort the truth through public opinion?
Even a top-tier singer like Rong Yunsheng, with a massive fan base, took ten years to leave the company, demonstrating the terrifying power of Liyou Entertainment.
But now Xia Chuyue's inner voice tells her that he has been helping the wrong person all along?
And because of him, his true benefactor has fallen to this state?!
At that moment, Boss Shen felt like he wanted to grab a sword and chop Li Ling down!
He has done so many wrong things in his life, yet he always thought that he had at least preserved his initial kindness.
Mr. Shen looked dazed, his head hanging low, and remained silent for a long time.
Xia Chuyue did not want to tell Boss Shen that he had mistaken someone for someone else.
Boss Shen, a greedy culprit who has harmed countless singers, does not deserve anyone's redemption!
But then I thought, if Boss Shen continues to apologize like this, wouldn't he be helping Xie Yuanping and Xia Xinxin do even more disgusting things?
Xia Chuyue had previously read Xie Yuanping's gossip; he had already eliminated several competitors within the Xia Group.
Given his status as the son-in-law of Master Xia, climbing the ranks is only a matter of time.
If he really wants to seize power, with someone like Boss Shen who will stop at nothing to help him, he might pose a threat to Xia Yan, the true heir to the Xia Group.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Xia Chuyue immediately steered the conversation towards Xia Xinxin.
"Mr. Shen, you and Xin Xin seem to know each other quite well? Are you acquainted with Xin Xin's elders?"
Xia Xinxin felt inexplicably flustered.
For some reason, whenever Xia Chuyue brought up this matter, she always felt that things were spiraling out of control.
"They're just business friends. Chuyue, you weren't with the Xia family before, so you might not know that Boss Shen and Dad are good friends."
Xia Xinxin didn't dare let the topic involve her mother, Li Ling, so she could only push it onto Xie Yuanping.
Xia Chuyue gave an "oh," her expression indifferent, and glanced at Xia Xinxin.
"Xia Xinxin, why do you still call Xie Yuanping 'Dad'? You and Xie Yuanping shouldn't be related by blood, right?"
Xia Xinxin's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.
She kept her identity as Xie Yuanping's illegitimate daughter a closely guarded secret, fearing that the rest of the Xia family would find out.
Once Xia Chuyue finds out that Xie Yuanping has been having an affair and has fathered two illegitimate children with his first wife, all of Xie Yuanping's secret endeavors in the Xia Group will likely be in vain!
"No, I'm just used to calling you that."
Xia Chuyue loved seeing Xia Xinxin get her comeuppance.
"Then you should call him Uncle Xie from now on."
Xia Xinxin felt a pang of pain in her heart that she couldn't even call her own father "Dad."
Then a deep sense of hatred welled up within him.
Xia Xinxin's sweet face twisted for a moment, but she forced herself to nod.
"I see."
Xia Chuyue, however, did not let her off the hook and continued the previous topic.
"Uncle Shen, you haven't answered my question yet."
Mr. Shen had mixed feelings. He closed his eyes briefly, but did not avoid the question.
“Xinxin’s mother is my savior.”
Xia Chuyue didn't expect Boss Shen to be so cooperative, directly jumping the topic to this point!
[Good, good, good! When Shen Qing's adoptive mother saved Boss Shen, she accidentally pulled a button off his clothes!]
Over the years, Boss Shen has firmly believed that Li Ling is his savior and has never mentioned it to her!
Before Xia Chuyue could remind Boss Shen of anything, there was a knock on the door.
Li Ling, who hadn't seen Xia Xinxin return home, couldn't wait any longer and came to find her.
Xia Chuyue's eyes lit up immediately.
The main character has arrived!
More juicy gossip to watch!
