He couldn't hide his frustration, and explained in a sullen tone, "The first step to freedom is independence. If I continue to spend their or the company's money, how can I even be considered independent?"
He paused for a moment, then continued with a determined look in his eyes, "So... I came back with nothing but some start-up capital. This time I must prove to them that I can live well without relying on them!"
"I want to prove to them and everyone else that I can be successful without relying on my family's influence! I'm not a puppet in their hands. I'm an independent person, and I am who I am!"
"...Is it a different kind of fireworks?" Wen Wan raised her eyebrows and continued.
What was originally a very handsome remark was made very funny by Wenwan's words.
Chen Zui was speechless and choked. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "To borrow Ah Heng's words just now--"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
"How come such a beautiful lady has an extra mouth?"
Wen Wan listened to his words and laughed instead of getting angry. "There are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but I'm the only one with a big mouth! This is what makes me unique. There's no substitute for it!"
Chen Zui couldn't help but sigh. He actually sensed a hint of pride in these words. Is this... is this something to be proud of? Isn't this a bit too shameless?
But what he said is indeed true. There is really no female artist in the entertainment industry who dares to take this route. After all... the risk of being beaten to death or scolded to death is still quite high!
He couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it. He couldn't argue with her, and he couldn't be thick-skinned enough. What else could he do?
Why not... learn from everyone else's excellent handling methods? If you can't beat them, then join them?
After he made up his mind, he suddenly bowed to Wen Wan and said seriously, "Machine Gun Sister, before I met you, I thought I was thick-skinned enough."
"But after getting to know you, I realized what it means to be 'better than you, better than you'. You're so thick-skinned that I admire you. I admit that I'm inferior in skill, so—"
"How about we shake hands and make peace, and from now on, we'll dominate the entertainment industry together. I'll hit you wherever you point your finger. What do you think?"
"Huh?" Wen Wan was bewildered, pouting helplessly. "How come you all just join in the same old tricks when you can't win? Are you going to surrender now? You're not going to resist anymore?"
Chen Zui smiled faintly and replied confidently, "Because a man who knows the current situation is a hero. A real man can bend and stretch, unlike some people around him who can only stretch but not bend. They are too obsessed with face and suffer in vain!"
Zhou Ziheng: “…”
Mmmm! He was shot even when he was lying down!
He surrendered to his wife and still hinted at him, how bad!
When Wen Wan heard this, she lowered her head and smiled silently for a while. Although... Chen Zui was irritating and deserved a beating, what he said was true. Some people were just trying to save face and suffered in the end!
But having said that, she still had to protect her son. When she raised her head again, the smile on her face had completely faded. She cleared her throat and pretended to scold him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Some people are flexible in front of me! Don't blindly criticize others just to surrender! Especially don't criticize my family! I protect my family! I'm really protective!"
Chen Zui was suddenly choked as if there was something stuck in his throat. His mother tongue was speechless!
He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had just said. If Zhou Ziheng had been a little more flexible back then, he wouldn't have always been bruised and bloodied.
Others won't turn back until they hit the wall, but he won't turn back even after hitting the wall. When he gets really stubborn, even five horses can't pull him back. But... if he could bend and stretch a little, he wouldn't be Zhou Ziheng anymore!
However, after so many years, Zhou Ziheng has earned the capital to be willful, but he is willing to humble himself in front of the one he loves. Maybe this is love! True love!
But no matter what, Zhou Ziheng is worthy of his admiration. They all have the same starting point, and they are both rich second-generations who are unwilling to bow to their families.
Others made a big splash with a bad hand, but he played the bad hand even worse and wasted nearly five years.
If he had been braver back then, if he had not been deceived by his parents and had been determined and persistent in pursuing his dreams, would he be in this situation now?
Chen Zui suddenly fell silent as he was thinking. Wen Wan couldn't help feeling a little surprised because his transformation was so huge, so she glanced at him suspiciously.
In the end, all I saw was the complexity in his eyes, which included sadness, regret and confusion. He was like a lost child who didn't know where to go.
Wen Wan, who thought she had a hard heart, suddenly softened. When she first saw Chen Zui's nonchalant look, she was angry and even felt that it was a little unreasonable, so she kept chattering at him.
But after hearing the explanation just now, her thoughts have slowly changed. After all, the apology has been made, and it is normal enough. Some things... are indeed unavoidable.
The pain of one's original family is hard to describe and hard to get rid of. Maybe Chen Zui was not brave enough at the beginning and was a little bit scared, but no one has the right to laugh at him.
Because if you don't put some things on yourself and don't experience them firsthand, you have no idea how difficult they are, let alone how painful they are.
So... she chose to use her empathy to feel and be tolerant.
After organizing her words in her mind, she said carefully, "Well... I'm not targeting anyone, but the fact that you left without saying goodbye was quite infuriating, but I don't really have a big opinion of you, so don't take it too personally."
"Many people are immature when they are young. They may not be brave, may be a little timid, may be confused, and may end up with regrets. But youth is youth precisely because of these imperfections."
"No one is born mature. How can a greenhouse flower, which has never experienced anything, withstand the wind and rain right from the start? But after experiencing the wind and rain, you will gradually see the rainbow, just like people gradually grow up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ziheng quickly responded, "Everyone is an independent individual. Different living environments determine everyone's differences. Although my experience is similar to yours, it is not completely the same."
"So... you don't have to worry about it, and don't feel lonely about it. You just need to be yourself. As long as you can see the road ahead clearly and make up your mind to move forward courageously, it's never too late to start."
Yin Jingshuo nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Yeah! Some people are just perverted. Wouldn't it be boring to compete with perverts?"
Chen Zui looked at them in confusion. What…what did this mean? Did they mean they agreed to reconcile?
