The world of film and television starts from a young age

Looking at Li Jia's pitiful and weak appearance, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

"There's a cafe next door, let's go sit over there."

"good."

Li Jia came to Zhou Chen to ask questions, but of course it was impossible to ask such questions on the street, so it would be most appropriate to go to a quiet cafe.

Zhou Chen was in front, and Li Jia followed behind him, closely following.

Li Jia's persistence did surprise Zhou Chen a little, and she came very quickly. She just found out about it yesterday and came today, which shows that he still has a very important position in her heart.

"if……"

Before Li Jia could finish her words, Zhou Chen immediately interrupted her.

"Li Jia, I don't know what you want to say, but there is no if in this world. Do you remember what I told you? I am not a good man. I am like many men, greedy, lustful, and unfaithful."

"So, you liked me too."

"Of course, I answered you that year."

Zhou Chen did not deny that Li Jia was beautiful and outstanding in all aspects. Of course, he was attracted to her, but he was very rational. It was difficult for him to fall in love with pure love now. Compared with pure love, there was more desire. This was a fact, and he had nothing to be embarrassed to admit.

This was clearly the answer he wanted, but listening to it, Li Jia felt even more depressed, and the coffee in his mouth became even more bitter.

"I always thought that once I worked hard to make money, bought a house, and settled my brother and parents, I would be able to do what I wanted without any burden. But now I realize that it's too late and no one will wait for me."

"In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for so many years. We have all changed, but it seems that we have not changed at all. You are still the same as before."

"Zhuang Tuxi, it was indeed me who backed down back then..."

Li Jia started hesitating at the beginning, but the more he spoke, the more complicated and self-blaming his expression became.

At the end of her speech, she suddenly stood up.

"I'm sorry, Zhuang Tuxi, I've said so much to you today, and I don't know why I said all this. It's probably because I can't find another person I can talk to like this. I'm sorry for disturbing you today."

"Zhuang Tuxi, congratulations and best wishes to you. I won't bother you anymore. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

She picked up her bag and prepared to leave, but Zhou Chen also stood up and grabbed her arm.

"Li Jia, you don't have to apologize to me. You haven't done anything wrong to me. We are friends."

Li Jia showed a bitter smile: "Yes, we are friends, just, friends."

Seeing that Li Jia was in a very bad condition and thinking of Li Jia's situation in the plot, Zhou Chen couldn't bear it.

"Li Jia, you put too much pressure on yourself. In fact, you don't have to bear so much. Your brother should be an adult now. You can't always be like this, sacrificing yourself for others. Even if you want to repay the kindness of raising you, you shouldn't do it this way. You have to live for yourself first, and then consider others."

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm different from you."

Zhou Chen also knew that he couldn't change Li Jia with just a few words, so he said: "Li Jia, if you are really under too much pressure, I can help you, but I also know that with your personality, you will definitely not let me help, so I want to advise you, if you want to relieve stress, you can go exercise, go running, listen to music, even do housework, but don't smoke, smoking is not a good thing."

Li Jia looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to suddenly say this. Why did he talk about smoking?

What's more coincidental is that she has indeed been under a lot of pressure recently. She wanted to buy a house, so she came to the Design Institute from the Planning Bureau. She worked hard on projects in the design institute to make money, and wanted to buy a house in Shanghai through the provident fund.

Sometimes she is under so much pressure that she cannot sleep at night. She wants to release the pressure but does not know how, because there are some words and some things that cannot be told to others casually.

She heard from others that smoking can relieve stress when under a lot of pressure. She didn't believe it at first, but recently she felt really hard, so she was considering whether to use this method to relieve her stress.

But she hasn't even started to do it yet, and Zhou Chen suddenly mentioned this to her today. Could Zhou Chen really guess what she was thinking?

"Thanks."

Li Jia didn't stay any longer. After walking out of the cafe, he left quickly.

Zhou Chen looked at her back and didn't speak for a long time, until.

"Come out, you sneak around, do you really think you can hide well?"

Zhuang Xiaoting walked out from the corner with an awkward smile.

"Second brother, when did you find me?"

"I noticed it when you followed me to the cafe. You were really amazing standing outside for so long."

Zhou Chen said angrily: "I am your brother, why do you not trust me? In broad daylight, in front of everyone, what do you think I can do?"

Zhuang Xiaoting became even more embarrassed and could only mumble and was unable to speak.

"Come on, you nosy little girl, let's go home."

When they returned home, they found that Huang Ling and the others had also returned. Zhou Chen keenly discovered that Wu Shanshan, who had taken off the necklace he had given her before because she had to take care of the children, was now wearing another necklace around her neck, which was not bought by him, and she also had a bracelet on her hand.

It goes without saying that Huang Ling must have bought it for her when she went out today to make up for it.

The three women were playing with a little boy named Xiaojie, laughing from time to time and looking very happy.

"Tuxi, Xiaoting, you are back. I will ask Aunt Li to cook now."

Wu Shanshan stood up and asked Aunt Li in the kitchen to prepare the meal.

At the dinner table, Song Ying and Huang Ling talked about today's itinerary. They had been shopping all day and seemed to be in a much better mood. Zhou Chen said that he would go out and play with them when he had a break.

In a blink of an eye, a week had passed since Huang Ling and Song Ying arrived in Shanghai.

Song Ying has been living here these days, and whenever Lin Dongzhe is not busy at work, he will take a bus here to see Song Ying.

After a week, Huang Ling and Song Ying both began to miss home. Song Ying even wanted to go home. Huang Ling felt the same way, but she was not as anxious as Song Ying. After all, her three children and an eldest grandson whom she had just seen for a week were here. Naturally, she was reluctant to leave.

So Zhou Chen began to persuade Huang Ling to stay for a while longer, using the reason that Xiaojie was too young to take care of. Zhuang Tunan, Zhuang Xiaoting, and Wu Shanshan also took turns persuading her, making Huang Ling want to go home but also want to stay, and her will was extremely unsteady.

After several days of persuasion, Huang Ling finally gave in and said she would think about it again, but Zhou Chen said something that made her very excited.

Zhou Chen said that he would call his grandparents and go to Changzhou to pick them up to live at home for a while and visit Xiao Jie. When Huang Ling heard this, she immediately expressed her willingness to stay for a while longer and help Zhou Chen and others take care of Xiao Jie.

Since Huang Ling married and moved to Suzhou, she has had very few reunions with her parents, so she has always missed them and felt guilty about it. However, due to work, she could not stay in Changzhou for a long time before. Now she has the opportunity to reunite with her parents in Shanghai, so of course she is very happy.

Finally, after Huang Ling agreed, Zhou Chen still wanted to keep Song Ying for a while longer, but Song Ying's attitude was very firm. After all, she was different from Huang Ling. She was unwilling to live with Zhou Chen forever. Also, she didn't want to leave Lin Wufeng for too long, so she insisted on going back.

So Zhou Chen did not try to persuade her to stay, and asked Xiang Pengfei to find a car. Then he sent Song Ying to the car and let Xiang Pengfei's car take Song Ying all the way home.

Zhou Chen personally went to pick up his grandparents to Shanghai. When they saw Huang Ling and their great-grandson Huang Junjie, they were extremely excited. Especially when they learned that the child's surname was Huang and his name was Huang Junjie, they were so happy that their eyes were wet with tears.

Song Ying returned home alone, which surprised Zhuang Chaoying very much.

"Song Ying, where's A Ling? Didn't A Ling come back with you?"

Song Ying looked at Zhuang Chaoying with complicated eyes. She remembered that Huang Ling asked her not to reveal the matter between Zhou Chen and Wu Shanshan, so she had no choice but to keep it secret.

"Sister Ling was left behind by Tusi and the others. She said she would stay in Shanghai for a while before coming back. Sister Ling asked me to tell you and Pengfei to take good care of yourselves at home. She will call home in advance when she returns."

"Not coming back for the time being? Then how long will she stay in Shanghai?"

When Zhuang Chaoying heard that Huang Ling was not coming back, he suddenly became anxious. Although he and Huang Ling had been divorced for many years, they had never separated. Although he was gossiped about behind his back, he had actually gotten used to it.

Living here, although the two of them are no longer in love, they can still take care of each other in life, and he can also enjoy the good things that Huang Ling brings. At least he can have hot soup and meals most of the time, and there is someone to take care of him at ordinary times.

During the more than a week since Huang Ling left, he really had an uncomfortable life, with poor eating and sleeping. Xiang Pengfei's car was usually not at home, and he basically just slept at home, and in most cases he did not eat at home.

So he had been looking forward to Huang Ling coming back soon, but who knew that Huang Ling did not come back.

Song Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know. Sister Ling didn't tell me the exact time. You can call her and ask her yourself."

She didn't say too much to Zhuang Chaoying because she knew she was a bit talkative and was afraid that if she talked too much, she would accidentally let something slip.

At night, Zhuang Chaoying tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Without Huang Ling by his side, he really felt that life was very uncomfortable.

As for Song Ying, after Lin Wufeng came back in the evening, Song Ying quietly told him about the matter between Zhou Chen and Wu Shanshan, which frightened Lin Wufeng so much that he almost cried out.

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true."

When Lin Wufeng learned the whole story from Song Ying, he still couldn't believe it.

"These two kids are so brave. I think Tusi is such a calm person, but he could do something so impulsive. It's so scary."

"Scary, right? I think so too. If Lin Dongzhe dared to do such a thing, I would break his legs."

"Lin Dongzhe wouldn't do that. He's not that brave."

"Oh, let's not talk about his courage. I don't think he has the ability like Tusi. You didn't see that Shanshan is so smart and she obeys Tusi's words. But on the other hand, Tusi is really good to Shanshan. A three-story villa in the center of Shanghai, how much money must it be worth? He wrote Shanshan's name on it, arranged a nanny, and let her spend the money freely. He really doesn't feel sorry at all."

Lin Wufeng nodded and sighed, "That's true. I know Tuxi has always been very generous, but it's really not easy for him to do this to Shanshan. No wonder Shanshan follows him wholeheartedly and even ignores her family."

Song Ying whispered, "If this behavior was in ancient times, it would be called eloping, but compared to the life Shanshan had as a child, she is living a really good life now. You didn't see it. When I saw Shanshan, I couldn't recognize her. She looked like one of those noble ladies on TV, beautiful and elegant."

"Wife, you are the most beautiful."

…………

Huang Ling and the old couple of the Huang family stayed at Zhou Chen's place for three months.

After living there for such a long time, neither Huang Ling nor the Huang couple wanted to stay in Shanghai any longer and wanted to go home.

This was not the first time they had brought this up, but they had brought it up several times, so Zhou Chen did not try to persuade them this time and personally sent them home.

First, he sent the grandparents back to Changzhou, had dinner there, and then drove Huang Ling back to Suzhou.

Zhou Chen stayed at home for one night. In the evening, Huang Ling called Zhuang Chaoying over, and the family of three sat together.

Huang Ling thought about it for a long time and still felt that Zhuang Chaoying had the right to know about Xiaojie, so after discussing with Zhou Chen, she decided to tell Zhuang Chaoying.

When Zhuang Chaoying learned that Zhou Chen had obtained a marriage certificate with Wu Shanshan and had a son, she was stunned.

"What did you say, Tusi and Shanshan, the two of them?"

"Zhuang Chaoying, keep your voice down. Do you really want this to get out?"

Zhuang Chaoying suppressed the shock in his heart, still finding this a little unbelievable. His expression was the same as Huang Ling's when she first learned about this, except that Huang Ling saw someone, while Zhuang Chaoying didn't even see anyone.

"Tusi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how could you do such a thing? If you do this and it gets out, how will others see our family? How will we get along with Old Wu and his family in the future?"
