Chapter 141: Possibly Offending a Big Shot

"That's right!" Shen Jinghe nodded. "It does feel oppressive. That is perfectly right. I felt that way when my grandfather was still alive, especially during the years before you came.

“Later, once boarding school became an option, no one liked coming home anymore. I was like that, and so was Fourth Brother.

“Anyway, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Hurry up and eat. It might not compare to a full spread from the kitchen, but it has its own unique flavor.”

“………” Wen Yan paused Chewing. “I started eating already.”

"I thought you came to find me to talk about these unhappy things. After all, when a person's negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, they need to vent."

Shen Jinghe snorted from his nose. "You're thinking too much. I've seen this kind of situations before."

If he hadn't been afraid she would overreact, he wouldn't have foolishly carried two boxes of self-heating hot pot and come to find her in the middle of the night.

"Okay, since you don't plan on talking, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Go ahead."

"Just... what Fourth Brother said about Dad wanting to give you a film and television company, is it all true?"

"............" Shen Jinghan looked up at Wen Yan through the white smoke from the self-heating hot pot.

Wen Yan felt an incredulous gaze in his eyes and couldn't help but straighten her body.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Can't I ask about matters related to the Shen family business?"

"What does that have to do with anything? They're unrelated." Shen Jinghe put down his chopsticks and said speechlessly, "I really can't understand you. You don't know anything yet you stand on Fourth Brother's side? What if he's lying? What if he's making a fuss for no reason?"

"It's impossible," Wen Yan said firmly. "He's not that kind of person."

"You believe him that much? You haven't been together for long if you count the days on your fingers. The time you two spent shooting a variety show together is probably not as long as the time you spent filming a movie with me."

"Yes, we only filmed the variety show for seven days," Wen Yan said seriously. "But we were online friends before. We chatted online."

"Tsk! Online chat!" What's so special about that? Who hasn't chatted online before?

Right, it was him who hadn't chatted online.

Shen Jinghe felt annoyed as he thought about it. "What if it had been me today? Would you unconditionally believe me too?"

Wen Yan didn't hesitate. "Of course!"

"That's more like it." Satisfied with the answer, Shen Jinghe began to seriously answer the questions Wen Yan had asked earlier.

"Fourth Brother was right. There is such a thing, and the old man does have this intention. But, it's actually related to you."

"Why? How is it related to me?"

"Because you've always been working alone, so the family thought it would be better to establish your own company. Then you can work in the company just like being at home. It's more convenient."

"...... I see!" It would indeed be very convenient. "Did you accept it?"

Shen Jinghe shrugged. "I haven't had a chance to express my opinion. But since Fourth Brother is strongly against it, I think I'll pass. But don't worry, even if I don't accept it, Big Brother will take over. No matter what, you will always be the little princess of this company. No, I should say you're the eldest princess."

"What eldest princess~" Wen Yan said half-jokingly, picking up her chopsticks. "Look at me, I'm getting goosebumps all over. I clearly want to be the queen."

"Speak nicely…"

"Alright, alright," Wen Yan nodded and continued, "But because of what happened today, I seem to have figured something out. Before, I couldn't understand why you and Fourth Brother couldn't get along. You both wouldn't give me a specific reason when I asked."

"If I said you two didn't get along, you’re still surprisingly in sync—you both tried to brush me off with the exact same excuse: 'I just don’t like the look of him.'

"But today, I think I finally figured out why!"

"Oh?" Shen Jinghe gave a soft chuckle. "Let’s hear it then. I want to see if you’ve actually got it right. Go ahead, the floor is yours."

"Now, if I happen to hit a sore spot, you aren't allowed to get mad at me. Because from this second forward, I’m merely stating my subjective guesses with the utmost objectivity."

"Alright, honestly, only you could make 'spilling the tea' sound so highbrow and sophisticated. Just get on with it already."

"But you haven't promised me yet."

"Fine, I promise! Whatever you say, I promise."

"Then I guess this matter should be related to Big Brother. I can tell that Fourth Brother has a good relationship with Big Brother, but you don't. Fourth Brother has a hot temper, and you're unhappy with Dad and Big Brother because of the kidnapping incident, so Fourth Brother stands up for Big Brother. That's why the two of you end up on opposite sides. Am I right?"

Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow in silence.

After two seconds, he nodded. "It's more or less like that."

"But I think you still care about Fourth Brother's feelings. Otherwise, you could have just accepted Dad's proposal, but you didn't. You're just too stubborn."

Shen Jinghe chuckled. "But do you really think this is just a problem between me and Shen Jingchuan? Isn't it a problem between him and Dad?"

"Dad?" Shen Jinghe unexpectedly didn't use 'old man' to refer to Shen Yuan.

Wen Yan was quite surprised and immediately asked, "What about the issues between you and Dad? Do you still blame him?"

After Wen Yan finished asking, she noticed that Shen Jinghe was looking at her with a rather profound gaze.

But just when she thought Shen Jinghe was about to open up, this guy suddenly said, "Let's not talk about these things anymore."

Then he changed the topic directly, "The second season of your Jungle Diary is about to start filming, right? You have a few days of free time, so I found some jobs for you."

"....What? You change topics too quickly. What job?"

"What kind of expression is that on your face?" Shen Jinghe frowned, "I entrusted it to your assistant to handle, and she didn't tell you?"

"You can't blame her for this! Since I came back from the hospital, I haven't had time to look at the other phone. I'll check it later."

Wen Yan quickly contacted her assistant, He Xing.

Through this communication, she learned that Shen Jinghe did indeed help her obtain some resources.

Why did she say he helped her obtain them? Because these resources used to belong to Min Xiaxia.

However, she has now become a disgraced artist and has been completely blacklisted.

He Xing was particularly full of gossip about this.

“I’ve been following her drama for ages, but there isn’t a single trace online of what crime she actually committed. All we know is that she ended up behind bars.”

“Then there are those so-called ‘insiders’ online claiming she offended some big shot, but no one on the entire internet has been able to dig up who that powerhouse actually is.”

“Do you think the big shot she crossed could be Brother He? Why else would he have ended up with all her old resources?”

“I wonder who the Jungle Diary production team will invite as a female guest to replace her.”

Wen Yan: “……” She wouldn't dare call herself a "Bigshot." At most, she could only say that Min Xiaxia had offended the Shen family.
