Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

In a blink of an eye, the New Year passed and all the children returned to their respective cities. Xu Chunying and Li Jiandang also came back from the south. The couple were tanned and brought back big mangoes.

Zhang Xiuhua also received a few and planned to make mango patches. She has more free time now and is planning to build a house.

This decoration team is a construction company hired by Li Jianguo. They must create a comfortable environment.

The family was building a house, and Zhang Xiuhua had been helping out, but in April, Zhuzhu was going to film a movie, and Zhang Xiuhua, as her assistant, had to go over to help her.

Li Jianguo is fully responsible for the house. "I don't have high requirements for the house, but it must have a strong sense of design."

Li Jianguo agreed repeatedly, "Okay! I'll keep a close eye on them."

Zhuzhu was filming, and Zhang Xiuhua never saw her boyfriend come to visit her. She couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Are you really dating someone? Why hasn't he come to see you?"

"He's not in the capital. I can't ask him to drop his work and come see me, can I?" Zhuzhu disagreed.

"Then when will you bring him to see me?" Zhang Xiuhua refused to give up.

Zhuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do May 1st. He will have a day off."

In just one month, Zhang Xiuhua agreed.

Everything was agreed upon at first, but at the end of April, Zhuzhu received a phone call and asked for two days off from the crew. When she came back, she was told that she had broken up with the man.

This happened very suddenly. Zhang Xiuhua asked the reason, but Zhuzhu was unwilling to say more at first and locked herself in the room.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Wang Juan, "Have you met the man?"

Wang Juan nodded, "I have met him. He is a well-mannered man, very educated, a perfect match!"

Zhang Xiuhua sounds good, but why did they break up? Why?!

Hearing the crying coming from the room, Zhang Xiuhua couldn't hold it back any longer and knocked on the door, "Zhuzhu, if you are unhappy, Mom will take you to Hainan for fun? Let's put all the unhappy things behind us."

Zhuzhu opened the door. She clearly heard crying just now, but when she opened the door, she found that her tears had been wiped away, only her eyes were still red. When she saw Zhang Xiuhua, she threw herself into her arms and hugged her tightly.

Zhang Xiuhua patted her on the back, "Cry if you want to. He doesn't understand how good you are. You are the best in my heart! He has no vision!"

Zhuzhu cried for a while, wiped her tears, "He didn't dump me, I dumped him."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't believe it. She dumped him, so why was she the one crying?!

In Zhang Xiuhua's confusion, Zhuzhu finally explained. He was injured during the experiment, and she asked for leave to visit him. She accidentally ran into his parents and learned that she was filming a movie. His parents asked her to quit the entertainment industry.

He also agreed.

Zhang Xiuhua frowned, "Does their family look down on actors?"

Some old ideas would think that actors are just clowns and come from the lowest class. If the family doesn't like their daughter-in-law to be an actor, then Zhuzhu is really not suitable to marry into the family.

Zhuzhu shook her head. "His father is from a scholarly family and is prejudiced against this profession. If we get married, they said that if they take me to meet relatives and friends, my profession is not presentable enough."

Zhang Xiuhua understood. The entertainment industry is a magic mirror, and any small thing can be magnified. And actors rarely don't shoot kissing scenes. People from scholarly families are a bit feudal and may think that doing so is immoral.

Zhang Xiuhua feels that it is very difficult to change a person's mind, and the best way is to change people, which saves time, effort and worry.

She hugged Zhuzhu and said, "Since he asked you to quit the entertainment industry, it means that you two are not suitable to be together. Anyone who stands in your way of getting rich is not suitable for you. There are so many people in China, and half of them are men. You are so beautiful, there is no shortage of suitors."

Zhuzhu forced a smile, "I just didn't expect that I would be disliked. It hurts my self-esteem a bit."

She always thought she was the favorite of the whole family and was popular wherever she went. In fact, she overestimated her charm.

"It's still unclear who dislikes whom." Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that Zhuzhu would be sad, so she analyzed the other party's family background for her. "Families of scholars have the most restrictions. If you marry into their family, there must be a lot of rules. You have never been bound by restrictions since you were a child. You can't live in that kind of life. And you are still young. It would be stupid to ruin your future for love. You did the right thing by breaking up with him! Mom is proud of you. My daughter is free and easy."

Seeing her mother supporting her, Zhuzhu felt warm in her heart. No matter what time, her mother would always be by her side to support her. This feeling was really great. But somehow, she still wanted to cry, "I'm still very sad. This is the first person I've dated."

Zhang Xiuhua patted her back and said, "If you feel sad, just cry. If you don't want to film, mom will take you to Hainan for fun?! Relax and forget about him."

"I don't want to go! Hainan is too hot now." Zhuzhu refused.

"Then let's go shopping in Hong Kong? Didn't you say that brand-name clothes are cheaper there?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that Zhuzhu would be recognized by fans if she traveled in the mainland, so it would be much better to go to Hong Kong.

Zhuzhu was eager to make a move, but thinking of the scenes that had not been filmed yet, she refused, "Forget it, the crew is still waiting for me, I can't be willful. I can't lose my job even if I lose my man."

Zhang Xiuhua touched her back and praised her generously, "This is my daughter, you have a strong character. Mom is proud of you! You are worthy of being my precious daughter, Zhang Xiuhua."

Zhang Xiuhua kept flattering her to strengthen her determination to break up.

The next morning, Zhuzhu rushed back to the crew to film. Because she had cried so much, her makeup was smudged and her eyes were a little swollen, so she couldn't film a festive scene. The director filmed a crying scene. It was very appropriate.

The directors all praised her for her improvement in crying scenes.

Two days later, during the May Day holiday, when Zhuzhu was filming, someone came to visit the set and asked for Zhuzhu by name.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at the person who came and felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Before she could remember, Wang Juan told her, "This is Zhuzhu's boyfriend."

Zhang Xiuhua corrected her mistake, "He is no longer a boyfriend, but an ex-boyfriend."

Wang Juan was stunned and immediately changed her words.

Zhuzhu finished filming and frowned slightly when she saw him coming over, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that we are over."

When Zhang Xiuhua saw other crew members looking at her, she quickly asked Zhuzhu to go to the dressing room to explain the situation.

She followed him in, and Wang Juan stood guard at the door to prevent others from getting close, in case someone took a picture and the reporters wrote nonsense.

In the dressing room, Zhang Xiuhua stood behind Zhuzhu and looked at him. He was indeed good-looking and well-educated. But where had she seen him before? Why couldn't she remember?

"Zhuzhu, would you like to reconsider it? Are you willing to give up on me?"

Zhuzhu looked at him and said, "I told you I like filming. Since we can't reach a consensus, we might as well break up soon. It will be good for both you and me."

The man's eyes were a little hurt. "Zhuzhu, can't you give up acting for me? The money I earn is enough for both of us to live on. We won't be short of money."

Zhuzhu raised her hand to interrupt him, "It's not a matter of lack of money. It's that I can't give up my job like your mother did. I like acting, I have liked it since I was a child, and I won't give up on anyone."

The man looked at him stubbornly, "After all, you still don't love me enough."

Zhuzhu was angry, "I don't love you enough? Do you love me? When your mother mocked me as an actor, did you speak up for me? Is my profession so shameful?"

The man was eager to defend his mother, "She is my mother, what can I do to her?!"

Zhuzhu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She pointed to the door and said, "Go away! We are done. Don't come to me again!"

"Think about it again, Zhuzhu." The man was still begging, but Zhuzhu had already opened the door and pushed the man out.

When the door was closed, Zhuzhu covered her face and cried bitterly. Zhang Xiuhua was so distressed that she hugged her daughter and coaxed her, "Don't cry, this kind of person is not worth it!"

Zhuzhu wiped her tears and said, "This is the first time I like someone, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

Zhang Xiuhua asked curiously, "What do you like about him?"

"He's like a prince in a comic book, handsome, very elegant, and nice to me." Zhuzhu was still sad.

"He does look okay, but he speaks like a dad." Zhang Xiuhua was disgusted. "If you marry him, he will assume that you have to sacrifice for the family. No matter how much you give for him, he will think it is your due. The person you should find should at least respect your profession. Look, your father gave up his job to me to take care of your grandma. This kind of man is a good man. The kind of man who asks you to sacrifice and makes you uncomfortable is not a good match. It will lower your status."

Zhuzhu bit her lip and nodded, "Yes! That's right. You always like to blame me. And look down on me? Do actors deserve to be inferior to others?"

"There is no distinction between high and low professions. Acting is just one kind of profession." Zhang Xiuhua touched her head, "Act well. After the filming is finished, let's go out and have some fun."

Zhuzhu nodded, "Okay!"

Zhang Xiuhua asked her, "I think I've seen him before. But I can't remember where I've seen him before."

Zhuzhu saw that her mother had forgotten, so she reminded her, "He is Jilin's colleague. There was a fire before, and he drove Jilin and his wife here in the middle of the night."

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that it was him! She said, "I think I've seen him somewhere before."

"You only care about appearance. You just like his face. You don't really know him at all." Zhang Xiuhua was sure.

Zhuzhu was not sure either, "Maybe."

After coming out of the dressing room, Zhuzhu continued filming.

The other party never contacted Zhuzhu again after that.

A week later, the filming of the drama was completed and Zhang Xiuhua took Zhuzhu to Hong Kong for shopping and sightseeing.

First we went to the amusement park for some fun, and then went to the major shopping malls to shop.

When you are in a bad mood, eating can help improve your mood, and shopping can also have a miraculous effect. Zhuzhu not only bought clothes for herself, but also for Zhang Xiuhua, Li Jianguo, Wang Juan, Youcai's two daughters and Jidong's twins, buying several sets of clothes for each of them.

Zhang Xiuhua thinks you shouldn’t buy too much for your children. “Children change every day. They grow up very fast. If you wear something for one season, you won’t be able to wear it the next season.”

Zhuzhu had no choice but to retract her restless hand.

When returning to the mainland, Zhang Xiuhua carried a lot of bags back to her hometown, Zhuzhu and Wang Juan returned to the capital, and she had a new announcement.
