Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor Chapter 69 Part 1

Chapter 69: Coming to Seek Death

After Yin Chengjue re-entered the banquet hall, it was soon time for Old Master Hua to come out and greet everyone. The Hua couple arrived with Hua Yun, followed by Wei Shu, who was temporarily staying at Hua Yun's house.

Hua Yun's father was the second son in the family, with an older brother above him, so the responsibility of receiving guests didn't fall on Hua Yun's branch. They just had to wait until the right time to wheel the old master out.

As soon as Wei Shu entered the banquet hall, his eyes scanned the room and he quickly spotted Yin Chengjue. After saying a word to the Hua couple and Hua Yun, he picked up some pastries and headed straight for Yin Chengjue.

Seeing Wei Shu approach him, Yin Chengjue exchanged a puzzled look with Hua Yun from across the room.

Hua Yun shrugged and made a "please keep an eye on him for me" gesture at Yin Chengjue.

Yin Chengjue: "..." Why do I understand such a complicated gesture...

Besides, Wei Shu isn't a child, why would he need me to watch him?

After silently complaining, Yin Chengjue looked back at Wei Shu, who was holding a plate of pastries and already eating with great gusto, a large bite in his mouth.

Yin Chengjue: "..." Okay, I get it.

While everyone else was busy socializing, Wei Shu was solely focused on eating, which inevitably drew some sidelong glances. To make matters worse, Wei Shu wasn't very good at reading people's expressions. While eating, he even brought a plate over to Yin Chengjue and introduced cheerfully, "This chef's skills are amazing! The macarons and cream puffs are absolutely the best! I go to their place often. Huazi specially hired them to make pastries for this event! Juezi, try some!"

Yin Chengjue: "..." Influenced by that guy Qin Ke, everyone's nicknames for me have become skewed now... Wait, that's not the point. The point is... Hua Yun didn't specially hire the chef to make pastries for the birthday banquet, but specifically to make them for you to eat, right...

"Hey, right! You still haven't told me, how did you know I was that?" Wei Shu suddenly leaned in closer, his expression uncharacteristically serious: "I haven't even told Huazi about this! How did you find out? Did I expose myself somehow? Tell me, quick!"

Yin Chengjue: "..." It's not like I can say I've lived two lifetimes and saw you help Hua Yun hack into a rival company's computer in my previous life, then remotely manipulate their shorted stocks, allowing Hua Yun to win big when the market closed, right?

Not sure how to explain it properly, Yin Chengjue simply played coy and said, "You guess."

Wei Shu was displeased: "I hate guessing games! Why are you like Huazi, always telling me to guess!"

Yin Chengjue glanced at Wei Shu's pouting face and could vaguely guess the reason: Teasing people is quite fun, especially when the person being teased happens to be quite cute and always falls for it.

Yin Chengjue looked up and glanced at Hua Yun from afar... just in time to meet the other's death glare.

Well, if you encounter someone not cute, teasing them becomes rather boring.

Yin Chengjue smiled and raised his hand, pretending to ruffle Wei Shu's head.

In slow motion, Yin Chengjue slowly raised his hand, moving it through the air along Wei Shu's slim waist upwards, slowly, slowly moving to the side of Wei Shu's neck, then slowly onto Wei Shu's head.

"Whoosh!" Hua Yun's cold face appeared like a ghost in front of Yin Chengjue, grabbing his hand and throwing it away fiercely!

Yin Chengjue was fine, but Wei Shu was startled by the sudden oppressive presence behind him and quickly turned around, only to be frightened again by Hua Yun's dark expression.

"Why did you suddenly appear? You scared me to death! Are you a ghost? And weren't you supposed to be entertaining guests, telling me to stay here quietly and not run around? I didn't run! I was just talking to Juezi!" Wei Shu raised his hand and swore.

Hua Yun stared gloomily at Yin Chengjue, his words still somewhat polite: "I've changed my mind now."

Wei Shu: ???

Hua Yun placed his hand on top of Wei Shu's head, staring at Yin Chengjue as he said, "President Yin must have other matters to attend to, so we won't trouble you any further. You're coming with me."

The last sentence was directed at Wei Shu.

Yin Chengjue immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Wei Shu looked completely baffled.

Yin Chengjue watched the two leave, one after the other, and smiled with interest.

This Hua Yun, with his outstanding abilities, must be the family's great hope, right? Under such circumstances, the path these two will walk definitely won't be smooth.

The internal strife within the Hua family is fierce too.

Yin Chengjue couldn't interfere in other people's affairs, he could only sigh.

The Hua family was large and well-established. Since they had invited everyone, they had naturally arranged resting places. Yin Chengjue told an attendant he was tired and wanted to rest, and was led to a room upstairs.

After taking the room card from the attendant, Yin Chengjue closed the door, locked it, and went straight to the bathroom.

The banquet was full of people, the air thick with human presence and alcohol, which made Yin Chengjue feel uncomfortable. All those smiling faces were just put on for show.

It wasn't until he soaked himself in the steaming hot water that Yin Chengjue felt like he had come back to life, reminiscing about the events of the past few days.

Many of Feng Chengda's spies within Huansheng Entertainment had been gradually removed by him. At least those occupying important positions had been replaced and couldn't stir up major trouble for the time being.
