After Lu Qinghua was shocked, he quietly took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. He looked at Lu Zhining again and said, "My dear, do you think your dad is pretty good-looking?"

Lu Zhining nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Handsome old man, very well-behaved."

"Then tell me, is it too late for me to enter the entertainment industry now? Actually, you completely inherited your acting talent from me, your father. I also participated in a drama competition organized by the school and won first place."

"..." Lu Zhining's mouth twitched fiercely: "Even if you play a corpse, I can still get you into the crew."

Lu Qinghua began to feel regretful. If he had known that the entertainment industry was so profitable, he should have resolutely gone to the film and television city to play supporting roles.

"Girl, now that we have the confidence, your mother will let you in even if you don't bring your boyfriend."

Haha, that was originally her home!

After all, he is my biological child. No matter how much I dislike him, I am still very happy in my heart.

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Zhining smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.

She rubbed her hands, quickly changed her shoes and went in. There were already several dishes on the table, all of which were her favorites.

"Xiaoyi isn't coming back this year?"

Wang Meizhi brought out the last dish and first glanced behind Lu Zhining. She was a little disappointed to make sure that she didn't bring a man back, but she still served Lu Zhining's meal.

"She has to perform on the Spring Festival Gala and doesn't have time. Grandma Wen has been taken away. She and Xiaoyi will be spending the New Year in Beijing this year."

"Hey, you're a few months older than Xiaoyi, and she's already on the Spring Festival Gala."

Lu Zhining could already guess what her mother would say next.

"Forget about being on the Spring Festival Gala. If she gets married, it's her second marriage. How come you can't even find a boyfriend?"

Look, she knows.

Lu Zhining calmly began to eat, and Lu Qinghua also sat down, pretending he didn't exist the whole time.

"Your dad and I have been watching a lot of TV shows starring that handsome guy named Pei Jing. If all else fails, you should get back together with him. Jiang Nan's family is coming tomorrow, and we can't lose."

Jiang Nan has liked to compare herself with others since she was a child, especially with Lu Zhining. Her mother and Wang Meizhi are from the same village, and she also likes to be compared with them.

So, after becoming distant relatives, they are polite to each other on the surface, but compete with each other in private.

"Now that you've become a big star, all the neighbors are coming to you, and your family has inexplicably gained many relatives you've never met. Jiang Nan's mother is very jealous. Now that her daughter has married into a good family, she's immediately rubbing her nose in disgrace."

Wang Meizhi grew angrier as she spoke: "What's wrong with marrying well? You still have to earn your own money. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

I can't believe her mother has such awareness.

Lu Zhining was about to offer some praise when Wang Meizhi said, "But I just can't accept losing to Jiang Nan's mother. I can't lose in any way. Pei Jing is the nephew of the future heir to the Emperor Group, right?"

Lu Zhining nodded blankly.

"I heard from your father that the Emperor Group is very powerful and influential, and is one of the Fortune 500?"

Lu Zhining continued to nod.

Wang Meizhi snapped her fingers. "Pei Jing, that guy looks really good to me. Girl, let's get back together with him first. It's normal for couples to break up and get back together. I broke up with your father over a dozen times before I finally decided to get married."

“…”

Lu Zhining looked at Lu Qinghua for help, but Lu Qinghua gave her a helpless look in return.

"Mom, I think you're right about one thing. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. We don't need men. We can crush them with our own strength. We have a house in Beijing. Do they have one?"

"That won't work..." Wang Meizhi suddenly realized: "What do we have in Beijing?"

Lu Zhining smiled and took out the property certificate: "House!"

Wang Meizhi's eyes widened: "My dear, have you bought a house in Beijing?"

Lu Zhining nodded.

"Oh, my daughter, is it too late for me to get involved in the entertainment industry now? I'm still a very good actor. If I can't do that, I can play Baga Yalu. I have absolutely no problem with that."

Lu Zhining took a mouthful of rice silently.

They are indeed a couple.

Jiang Nan's family came early the next morning. Before Lu Zhining even got up, he heard the chattering of people outside the door.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Wang Meizhi quickly came in and locked it. "Wang Juan and the others are here, and they're just as annoying as ever. As soon as they walked in, they started examining our house. They said, 'You're a star, but you still live in this old, run-down place. The entertainment industry isn't as lucrative as everyone says.'"

Wang Juan is the name of Jiang Nan's mother. Their village is called Wangjiagou, so almost everyone in the village has the surname Wang.

"Hurry up, lazy girl! Jiang Nan's husband is quite good-looking. I heard he earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. If he completes a big project after the New Year, he'll be promoted from department manager to deputy department head."

Wang Meizhi was still mumbling, and Lu Zhining couldn't stand it any longer and pulled back the quilt. "Deputy Minister is nothing, my boyfriend is the CEO!"

Wang Meizhi was stunned for a moment, then slapped Lu Zhining on the thigh in disgust. "You little bitch, you only know how to lie. Seriously, is it too late for you to get back together with Pei Jing now?"

Lu Zhining sighed deeply.

The comparison among the older generation is really terrible.

At Wang Meizhi's urging, she even put on some light makeup before walking out of the room.

Almost at the same time, a sarcastic voice rang out: "Hey, Zhining, wake up. Being a star is different. You are indeed much prettier than before."

Wang Juan said sarcastically.

Wang Meizhi was a little unhappy. "My daughter has been beautiful since she was a child. It's impossible for her to be prettier than before."

"Being an actress is a job that requires youth. Just being pretty isn't enough. A woman also needs to have substance and a reliable husband. Look how happy our Nan Nan is now. Xiao Xu has spoiled her to the point of lawlessness."

Lu Zhining looked at the young man and woman sitting side by side.

Jiang Nan and her newlywed husband Sun Xu.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Jiang Nan is indeed prettier than before. However, the classic Chanel jacket does not look expensive on her, but rather a bit tacky.

Looking at her husband Sun Xu, he seems to be quite tall, but too thin. His skin is fairly fair and he wears a pair of black-framed glasses. He can't be said to be very handsome, but he is indeed better looking than the average man.

"Zhi Ning, I heard that you female celebrities all have micro-adjustments. Have you ever had one? Can you tell me which hospital you went to?"

Jiang Nan spoke.

Lu Zhining walked straight to the restaurant, poured a cup of hot water, drank it in one gulp, and then replied calmly, "Nuwa Direct Hospital."

Nuwa’s directly affiliated hospital?

Jiang Nan realized instantly that Lu Zhining meant that she was born beautiful and that Nuwa had created her so well.

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Nan took Sun Xu's arm and said, "This is Sun Xu, my husband, the department manager of Ruipeng Real Estate. He will be promoted to deputy department manager soon. Our brother Xu's company headquarters will be moving to Beijing soon. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask him for help. You're welcome."
