Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.
Eighteen years ago, two ch...
Just as the Li family had expected, that night their eldest son, who was destined to be alone, finally brought home the daughter-in-law that everyone had been looking forward to.
Having learned from the previous lessons, this time Grandpa Li personally spoke and told Aunt Li to exercise restraint. Don't say anything unnecessary, otherwise you might scare your granddaughter-in-law who hasn't married yet, and cause trouble in her marriage.
Aunt Li nodded carefully. As a result, they saw their nephew, who always had a blank expression on his face, actually walked in with a silly smile on his face, holding Tao Mu's hand. There is also a tissue ring wrapped around her ring finger, as if it is her treasured one.
"Our president Tao proposed to me." At the dinner table, Li Xiaoheng cleared his throat and announced calmly.
Everyone in the Li family was in an uproar. Li Xiaomei, who was the most impatient, kept asking, "Proposal? Did Brother Mu propose to Big Brother first? When did it happen? How come we didn't know about it!"
"It's today! On the way back!" Li Xiaoheng said, suddenly remembering something. He took out a ticket from his jacket pocket, carefully spread it out, and showed it to everyone: "There was a traffic police officer who testified for us at the time!"
There was a sudden silence at the dinner table. Everyone in the Li family looked at each other in bewilderment. Wasn’t this witness and evidence a bit...unconventional?
The Li family members looked at Li Xiaoheng and seemed to be hesitant to speak. In fact, everyone is so smart that they have already figured out how this ticket came about from Li Xiaoheng's few words. However, looking at Li Xiaoheng's expression, everyone shook their heads in their hearts and wisely did not expose the truth.
Several younger generations of the Li family immediately took out their mobile phones to log on to Feixun.com and search for relevant news. As expected, the news that Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng were fined by the traffic police for proposing on the street has become a hot search. A few juniors winked at each other, and finally congratulated the eldest brother tacitly - someone finally wanted him!
The Li family has always been very enthusiastic towards Tao Mu. This time, Tao Mu overcame his fear of being urged to get married, and was also interested in pleasing the elders of the Li family, so he enjoyed the dinner very much.
After dinner, Tao Mu sat at Li's house for a while and ate some fruit before being sent home by Li Xiaoheng himself - to be more precise, the house where Liu Yao and Meng Qi lived. By the way, inform the Li family that their elders are coming to visit and discuss the details of the engagement banquet.
Liu Yaomengqi and Mr. Song had already accepted the fact that the two had come out publicly when Tao Mu was live streaming. But I didn't expect Tao Mu to be so anxious. It's only been a few days since they announced their relationship, and they've already reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Liu Yao was furious: "How old are you this year? Are you of legal marriage age? What are you asking for?"
"That's why we have to discuss the engagement ceremony." Tao Mu smiled and continued, "Otherwise, we can just discuss the wedding ceremony."
Liu Yao was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands, feeling as sad as if his silly son, whom he had raised with great difficulty, was snatched away by a big-tailed wolf - and he couldn't wait to pack his own bags.
It is true that men cannot be kept when they grow up! Liu Yao glared at Li Xiaoheng. At this moment, the more he looked at Li Xiaoheng, the more he felt annoyed. Meng Qi also felt bad. I didn't expect that my son would be so pessimistic. Why did he get married so early? Don’t you know that once a man gets married, things will be different from when he’s in a relationship?
Liu Yao, who was originally glaring at Li Xiaoheng, suddenly turned his head and said, "What do you mean? Do you think I am different after marriage than before? Is that what you think of me, Xiao Qi?"
Meng Qi and his wife are preparing to join forces to face the outside world! Unexpectedly, before they could make their words clear, a conflict almost arose between the couple. I quickly soothed him, "That's right! You've been much nicer to me after marriage than before. But aren't we a minority? Most men won't be as nice to me as you after marriage."
Li Xiaoheng quickly expressed his opinion: "I will definitely learn from Uncle Liu, and I will definitely treat Tao Mu twice as well after marriage."
Li Xiaoheng lowered his head and served tea and water to the two fathers, and ran to massage the shoulders and back of Old Man Song. He acted like a filial son and a worthy grandson.
Liu Yao and the other two saw this and finally felt a little relieved. It’s not because Li Xiaoheng is willing to humble himself to please them. The main reason is that if a man cannot behave properly when visiting a woman's home just after the relationship is established, it proves that the man does not really care about his partner that much. How can we dare to expect this man to treat his partner better after marriage?
Just like before Tao Mu was ready to discuss marriage with Li Xiaoheng, he was very disgusted with the Li family's overt and covert forced marriage behavior. But once he makes up his mind, he will behave particularly well and patiently when he visits again, and will take the initiative to make the Li family elders happy. It's the same principle.
What's more, the news about Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng's proposal has topped the trending searches. It is reasonable for the Li family to take the initiative to propose a visit and discuss matters concerning the engagement ceremony. So Liu Yaomengqi and Mr. Song didn’t really have any objections. It's just the arrogance of the elders. After being so proud, you have to get down to business.
In fact, the public opinions on the Internet regarding Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng’s public relationship were mixed. Although the country has passed the Same-Sex Marriage Law, the attitude towards homosexuality on the Internet has been very tolerant in the past two years. However, in real society, the mainstream attitude is one of rejection or rejection. So after the live broadcast ended, netizens and fans who heard the news left messages under Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng's messages. Among them, there are those who support the two, and naturally there are also those who curse and oppose them. Not to mention that there is a group of fans who claim to be Tao Mu's boyfriend fans and girlfriend fans. After learning that their idol came out and announced his relationship, they cried and said they would stop being fans online.
However, this situation has been effectively curbed after Feixun.com, in conjunction with all subsidiaries of Fengxing Group, Litao.com, Danmu.com and Xiaoheng Capital, as well as all cooperating brands willing to join in the fun, launched a series of promotional activities, including online and offline price cuts, free video viewing for registered members, and even a random celebrity autographed poster for those who left messages wishing the "arbitrage couple" a happy marriage, as well as a lucky draw by forwarding the message on Feixun.
Perhaps it was because of the simple value of "if you do something for someone, you will be grateful", netizens who benefited from it began to praise and bless the relationship between the two, and even those who rejected and opposed it began to remain silent. In addition, Meng Qi hosted Feixun.com and Feixun.com and constantly guided public opinion, and friends and relatives who were good friends with Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng came out to express their blessings. There were also some small celebrities and bosses who, although they had never met them, wanted to take advantage of the popularity or want to make good friends, and they also publicly expressed their opinions -
The most amazing thing is that the Husky Long Tianao, relying on the fact that his elders are the largest shareholders of Xiaxing Entertainment, actually persuaded most of the company's stars and took the initiative to send a message to express his position that as long as everyone can gather 10 million rainbow farts to wish the Li couple a happy marriage, he will live broadcast the company's team building as a welfare. This year, Longteng Entertainment’s team-building activity is a swimsuit party held on a private island.
As soon as this news came out, most of the star-chasing fans on the Internet went crazy. Not to mention that after Long Tianao, Luo Xi, the beautiful president of Longteng Entertainment, also joined in the fun and expressed her willingness to co-organize team-building activities with Xiaxing Entertainment. Even first-line superstars like Zhou Yanqing and Fang Ruoti, who are far away in Hong Kong, have expressed their willingness to give out 100 concert tickets as welfare to celebrate their good friend's relationship. Now, the other half of the star-chasing fans on the Internet can no longer remain calm. After all, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng's lives are too far away from them. Compared with the right and wrong of other people's families, getting the coupons is more important.
It is worth mentioning that the two companies under their names, which should have been affected by their bosses’ coming out, saw a surge in publicity and turnover within a few days due to this wave of joint promotions. Even the share prices of Fengxing Group and Xiaoheng Capital rose by two percentage points. This unexpected surprise made several companies grin from ear to ear. I feel more and more that my boss is very lucky. There were even employees who secretly speculated that the reason the two families were so anxious to discuss the engagement ceremony was probably because they saw related profit growth points. Otherwise, the two bosses would be too busy dealing with the public relations crisis to have the leisure to plan an engagement ceremony.
As for other bigwigs in the business world, after seeing the sales boom created by the two companies working together, what they care about is whether this powerful marriage will have an impact on the existing interest situation in various industries. Will it damage their vested interests, or whether they can also join in the fun and get a piece of the pie... With interests at stake, who would care about such trivial matters as why Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng are gay.
In this case, even before the Li family and Tao Mu's elders handed in their invitations, old friends and business partners of the two families called to congratulate them. They also took the initiative to ask about the specific time of the engagement ceremony, and said that they would definitely make time to attend their children's engagement ceremonies on that day.
The Li family is a wealthy business family. Tao Mu is not only the most talked-about celebrity actor in the past two years, but also a boss worth tens of billions. Both parties attach great importance to this marriage. What's more, there are so many old friends and business partners coming to attend the engagement ceremony. In the outside world, all entertainment media and financial media, as well as Tao Mu's fans and netizens of Feixun.com are paying close attention to the actions of the two companies. It is conceivable how the elders of the Li family and Tao Mu would care about this ceremony. This care is ultimately reflected in every process of the engagement ceremony, including the repeated tasting of the small desserts at the ceremony.
There were so many trivial and complicated details, and Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng's schedules were full - after all, it was a temporary public relationship. After the two of them had a sudden impulse, they were shocked to find that they could not spare any time to work with their elders to finalize the details of the process.
So after Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng discussed it, they finally handed over the engagement ceremony to the elders of the two families. One of them is based in Xiaoheng Capital while the other one returns to the filming base.
Upon learning that Mr. Tao's proposal was successful, all the actors and staff of the "Soldier King" crew raised funds to order a big cake to celebrate for Tao Mu. During this period, Cheng Yi, who had promised to produce a single tailor-made for Tao Mu, also flew to the mainland at Tao Mu's invitation.
The country's well-known gold medal music producer is well aware of the principle of keeping a promise. Although he was reluctant, he actually started to write lyrics and compose music based on Tao Mu's timbre as early as after he agreed to it. After spending a long time, he finally polished out a piece of work that made him very satisfied. However, what Cheng Yi didn't expect was that Tao Mu actually refused! ! !
