Young and promising, he was wrongfully imprisoned.
By the time his name was cleared and he was released, his parents had aged, his daughter was still young, and he—now middle-aged—had to star...
Chapter 22 Goodbye Dong Ni
...
After reaching a consensus with Xu Mai, Xu Kai took Xu Mai to the amusement park to play for an afternoon, and then took Xu Mai to have a seafood meal.
It was past 8 o'clock in the evening when Xu Kai and Xu Mai returned to Xu Li and Tang Yun's rental house.
After all, he was still a child. After being crazy for a day, Xu Mai rolled on the bed twice and fell asleep.
He covered Xu Mai with a quilt and stood quietly beside the bed, watching Xu Mai sleeping soundly.
Xu Kai couldn't help but think: "If I hadn't been wrongly imprisoned, I wouldn't have missed your growth. This is a regret that I can never make up for."
Xu Kai thought of Dong Ye again: "I am no longer with Mai Mai, how can you not be with Mai Mai, leaving the fruit of our love to become an orphan without a father or a mother?"
After a long time, Xu Kai came to the living room.
Without waiting for Xu Kai to ask, Tang Yun took the initiative to say: "Maimai's academic performance is pretty good now. She can rank in the top 10 in the class and the top 50 in the grade group. As long as she maintains this performance, she should be able to be selected into No. 3 Middle School."
After hesitating for a while, Tang Yun said, "Actually, I have another idea. I want to send Mai Mai to a foreign language school. Not only does the teaching quality of foreign language schools is high, but after graduation, there is also the opportunity to study abroad."
"But the Foreign Language School is a private school, and the fees are not low."
After saying that, Tang Yun looked at Xu Kai, waiting for him to make a decision.
To be honest, Xu Kai is not interested in going to private schools or studying abroad.
But Xu Kai knew that Tang Yun was doing this for Xu Mai's own good, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed this second option.
"Since I've entrusted the child to you, I will definitely trust you. Whether to send the child to No. 3 Middle School or a foreign language school, you can make the decision. As for the money, don't worry, I will find a way."
Xu Kai looked at Tang Yun again and asked, "I just don't know if this will delay you?"
"My previous dream was to be an actor or a star, but after coming to Hengdian, I realized that I didn't have the talent for it at all."
At this point, Tang Yun turned her head to look at Xu Li and continued, "If I hadn't met Xu Li, I would have gone back to my hometown and found someone to marry. In the past two years, I have given up the desire to be an actor or a star. Now I just want to be the woman behind Xu Li and witness him realize our dreams."
"Now, we only call Xiaoyun when we get a good job that doesn't take time or effort. Usually, she mainly manages Mai Mai."
Hearing Xu Li say this, Xu Kai said, "Then I won't be polite to you."
"Brother, why are you being so polite?" Xu Li grinned.
Xu Kai took out a bank card and put it on the table: "There is 1 million in it."
"Brother, what are you doing?" Xu Li was a little unhappy.
"Yes, brother, we take care of Mai Mai not for money." Tang Yun also said.
"Just listen to me."
"I actually wanted to give you this money a long time ago, but I knew that if I gave it to you then, you would definitely not want it."
"But now it's different. You have seen my ability to make money and know that it is not difficult for me to make money."
"We are brothers, so let's not be polite. If you help me take care of Mai Mai, I won't be polite to you. If I help you buy a house and get married, you are not allowed to be polite to me."
"Besides, this is not just for you, it's also for Mai Mai and our parents."
Tang Yun lived with Xu Li for 8 years without any regrets even though she had no legal status. How could Xu Li not want to give Tang Yun a decent wedding?
Moreover, just like Xu Kai said, Xu Li also felt that there was no need to care so much between brothers.
Therefore, after hearing Xu Kai's sincere words, Xu Li didn't say anything more: "Okay, big brother, I won't be polite with you. Xiaoyun and I will go to the Paradise Valley tomorrow."
Xu Kai wanted to tell Xu Li: "If you can buy a house in a big city, never buy one in a small city. If you can buy a house in the city center, never buy one in the suburbs. Buy a shop today and support three generations tomorrow."
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Xu Kai swallowed them back, because Xu Kai didn't want Xu Li and Tang Yun to go down the path of speculating in real estate.
"The Paradise Valley area is full of ordinary residential buildings, and the location is also quite remote, so it's not a good choice. I heard that Jingui Mingyuan is quite good, not far from Mai Mai's school, and not far from various movie studios, which is convenient for you to pick up Mai Mai, and also convenient for you to run around the crew."
"But Jingui Mingyuan is full of villas. The cheapest one costs more than 2 million yuan. If you take into account the decoration, it will cost at least more than 3 million yuan. How can we afford to live in it?" Xu Li smiled bitterly.
"You want to marry Tang Yun, it doesn't mean you can just pay the bride price and marry her. You also need to give her a warm and comfortable home and a decent wedding. You need to let all those who have laughed at her for being stupid know that she is not stupid. She didn't choose the wrong person, and she didn't wait for you, Xu Li, for eight years in vain."
Xu Kai looked directly at Xu Li and asked, "In this case, do you think it's enough to buy an ordinary house?"
"Well……"
Xu Li looked at Tang Yun, who had never asked him for anything, and his eyes gradually became firm.
Xu Kai saw it and said with a smile: "That's right."
"The 1 million I gave you is just for you to pay the down payment. I will give you the rest of the money gradually."
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Believe me, in a few years, this amount of money will be nothing to you."

The next day.
Xu Kai and Xu Li came to the "Escape" crew to sign a formal contract, do their makeup, and shoot promotional posters.
When Xu Li went to ask where the studio was, Xu Kai ran into a girl with long legs who looked familiar to him.
As for the boy with delicate looks and branded clothes standing next to the long-legged girl?
Uh, sorry, Xu Kai didn't even look at him.
Before Xu Kai could remember who this long-legged girl was, the long-legged girl, Dong Ni, said with surprise: "We are really destined to meet!"
"Who are you?"
Although Dong Ni's long legs and beautiful face looked very familiar to Xu Kai, for a moment he really couldn't remember where he had seen Dong Ni.
Seeing that Xu Kai didn't remember her, Dong Ni was disappointed! But Dong Ni still forced a smile and reminded Xu Kai: "Underground passage, "Dignity", you also said that I look like a woman you know."
"You are the kind-hearted beauty who lent me the equipment." Xu Kai suddenly realized.
"You finally remembered who I am!" There was some resentment in Dong Ni's tone.
"Look at my brain. It's not old yet, but my memory is bad. I'm sorry." Xu Kai felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. After all, we only met once. It's normal for you to forget me."
Although she said so, Dong Ni, who had never been ignored like this before, actually felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, the boy next to Dong Ni asked Dong Ni: "Shishi, who is this big brother?"
"My name is Yu Qingyun." Xu Kai introduced himself with a smile.
"My name is Dong Shishi." Dong Ni also introduced herself.
"His name is Pan Xiaowei, my classmate." Dong Ni introduced the boy next to her.
