Returning to 2011, life's path began to diverge from the moment he filled out his college application.
Discovering he had actually enrolled in a performance major and seeing familiar face...
Chapter 230 Returning Home
Early in the morning, Gu Wei was woken up by his biological clock on time.
After a night, he opened his eyes again and became full of energy again. His strong physical fitness made his recovery ability far beyond that of ordinary people.
The older sister beside him was sleeping soundly, hugging one of his arms like a little kitten.
The dim morning light came in through the window screen, the light was romantic and gentle, caressing Zeng Li's beautiful face.
The tangled hair, charming eyelids, delicate white skin, and the sound sleep with the breath of orchid made Gu Wei unable to help but lower his head and kiss her face lightly.
Gently pulling his arm out from the pair of snow-white arms, Gu Wei got out of bed quietly without disturbing the sleeping beauty.
Zeng Li was exhausted from last night's intense exercise. She didn't have as good a body as Gu Wei and needed a longer rest to recover.
After coming out of the bedroom, I sent a WeChat message to the driver, Master Zhang, then went to the bathroom to tidy myself up and started preparing breakfast for two people.
Although I can’t make dumplings, I can still fry an egg or heat milk.
Gu Wei had almost finished preparing breakfast when Zeng Li came out of the bedroom, panting.
She was wearing a brand new black silk pajamas, her long, snow-white legs were round and straight, her hair was a little messy, her face looked a little tired, but she looked very good, her skin was delicate and white with a rosy glow, and she exuded the seductive aura of a mature woman.
There was prepared breakfast on the dining table. Zeng Li sat down happily and looked at Gu Wei who came out of the kitchen with a bright smile on his face.
"Good morning, Sister Li~"
"Good morning~"
Gu Wei handed over a cup of hot milk and sat down to eat.
After the two had breakfast together, Zeng Li tidied herself up, packed her luggage, and went downstairs with Gu Wei to get into the nanny car.
There were very few vehicles on the roads in Beijing on the first day of the Lunar New Year. There was no traffic jam at all when I drove from my home to the airport, which is almost unimaginable under normal circumstances.
Both of them booked flights for today, and the times were about the same. After arriving at the airport, Gu Wei and Zeng Li gave each other a brief hug in the car as a farewell, and then went to different boarding gates.
In the afternoon, the flight landed. Gu Wei, fully armed with a mask, baseball cap, and black sunglasses, came out of the airport. From a distance, he saw his father and mother waiting anxiously at the exit.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
When he got closer, Gu Wei called out softly.
Dad Gu took the suitcase from Gu Wei, smiled and said nothing, just patted Gu Wei's shoulder.
"Son, you seem to have lost weight again~"
Mother Gu grabbed Gu Wei's hand and said with a distressed look at his face.
Gu Wei didn't know how his mother could tell that he had lost weight even though he was wearing a mask.
"Mom, I didn't lose weight at all. I even gained two pounds!"
The family got in the car and Gu Wei could take off his mask.
After arriving home, I had a sumptuous dinner with my parents as usual.
Looking at the table full of food in front of him, Gu Wei knew that his parents really missed him.
He was not afraid of getting fat and ate a lot of dishes to save face. Mother Gu was very pleased watching him.
While eating and chatting with his parents, Gu Wei told them about his work content and some of the achievements he had made in the past year.
Gu's father and mother usually don't care about the entertainment industry, but since Gu Wei started filming, they have paid attention to every drama that Gu Wei participates in.
I know that my son was very popular last year and that many people watched the dramas he starred in, but I have no idea to what extent.
Gu Wei explained to them how his TV series had been number one in ratings, how much money his movie had made from over 1 billion at the box office, etc. Only then did they realize how high his son had achieved.
Everything else was false. The strings of numbers that Gu Wei said made them both proud and shocked.
"Son, is being a star really that lucrative now?"
Dad Gu asked.
"Dad, being a celebrity is very lucrative, but most of your son's income comes from these companies.
Of course, now that I'm so famous, my personal income is also a huge figure."
"Making money is certainly a good thing, but don't forget to pay taxes according to the law. Never try to exploit loopholes in the law for the sake of petty profits."
Although Mr. Gu doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, he has been in business for a lifetime and takes taxation very seriously.
Moreover, when he was young, Liu Xiaoqing, a very popular star, was imprisoned for tax evasion. Now that his son has also made so much money in the entertainment industry, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Dad, don't worry about this. Your son takes taxation more seriously than anyone else."
"That's right, how could my son, who is so upright, do such illegal things?"
Compared to Gu's father, Gu's mother just blindly believes in her son and thinks that whatever her son does is right.
"By the way, Dad, do you and Mom want to move to Beijing? I'm getting busier and busier at work, and I rarely have time to come back and spend time with you.
Just like this year, I couldn’t come home on New Year’s Eve because I was performing on the Spring Festival Gala.
If I happen to be filming during the Chinese New Year, I won’t have time to come back.”
Gu Wei said as he picked up some food and ate.
The parents looked at each other, and Dad Gu said:
"I can't abandon my factory here. Although the money I make can't compare to yours, dozens of people depend on your father for their livelihood.
Besides, all our relatives and friends are here, so it would be inconvenient for your mother and I to do anything if we go to Beijing."
"Your dad is right. You can work without worrying about the family. Your dad and I are doing fine at home."
Gu Wei’s mother also said.
Gu Wei also knew that what his parents said made sense. His family was originally a wealthy family, and his father had achieved some success in his career. When his mother had nothing to do at home, she would go shopping or play mahjong with some girlfriends, and she lived a very comfortable life.
After Gu Wei became a little famous, they had a new hobby, which was to show off their son to relatives and friends. Whenever they mentioned Gu Wei, their faces were full of pride.
The only regret is that my son is too busy at work and rarely comes home.
Gu Wei understands his parents and supports their choice.
After dinner, he took out two small boxes from his suitcase. These were New Year gifts that Gu Wei specially bought for his parents.
The gift for my father was a Patek Philippe men's watch, and the gift for my mother was a Cartier pearl necklace.
The two were very surprised to see the gifts Gu Wei took out. Gu Wei put them on each of them. The mother looked at herself left and right in the mirror and was very happy.
Dad touched the smooth dial of the Patek Philippe and said:
"Patek Philippe, this watch is really expensive, right?"
"Don't worry, Dad. It's nothing compared to what your son makes."
As soon as he got home, Gu Wei made his parents very happy.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Wei went out with his parents to buy some gifts, and then followed his parents to visit several close relatives to wish them a happy new year. The day passed in a busy manner.
After returning home, Gu Wei collapsed on the sofa, feeling more tired than when he was filming.
His parents still looked excited. After showing off their baby for the whole day, they were in a very good mood.
I didn’t go out on the third day of the Lunar New Year and stayed at home with my parents for another day.
On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, Gu Wei's parents sent him to the airport. Under his mother's reluctant gaze, Gu Wei boarded the plane to Beijing again.
It's not that he doesn't want to stay at home for a while, it's just that he is very busy with work. "The Sword of Assassin 2" will start filming in a few days.
Zhao Mingcheng called and said that Yan Fei and Peng Damu had taken over the directorial duties of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and the film would soon enter the preparation stage.
Many things in all aspects cannot be done without Gu Wei.
