"Yuanzhe, I..."
Chen Rongshan looked around before she found Du Yuanzhe, only to discover that he was with Xia Ningmi.
Du Yuanzhe stood up and asked, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Ningmi also stood up: "Mrs. Du."
Chen Rongshan forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xia is here too. I thought you were still not available this year."
Du Yuanzhe felt helpless. He was sure that Chen Rongshan's words did not mean to mock Xia Ningmi, but why did it sound so strange?
Xia Ning said: "I happen to be free today."
Chen Rongshan felt uncomfortable being with Xia Ningmi, so she turned to look at Du Yuanzhe: "Yuanzhe, your sister Qian is here, and she is now your fan."
Du Yuanzhe was confused: "Who is this?"
"The daughter of Mr. Li from Wansheng just had her 18th birthday this year. Her mother talked to you before. She called her mother just now. When she heard that you were there, she asked the driver to bring her here without saying anything. She wanted to meet you and also wanted a photo with your autograph."
Seeing her son so popular, she felt very happy as a mother.
But the other two were in a bad mood.
Xia Ningmi glanced at Du Yuanzhe and said, "You are quite popular. You can even kidnap ignorant little girls."
Before Du Yuanzhe could say anything, Chen Rongshan was unhappy and said, "What are you talking about, President Xia! People like Yuanzhe, which shows that Yuanzhe is excellent. How can it be considered as abduction? Although President Xia is Yuanzhe's boss, shouldn't you be more careful about what you say? You are meddling too much!"
What Chen Rongshan hates most is when someone says bad things about Du Yuanzhe.
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "I care too much?"
Du Yuanzhe immediately shook his head: "Not much, not at all."
"Mom, President Xia is also concerned about my image. This is not the company. Where can I get an autographed photo for her?"
Chen Rongshan said: "They brought your photo themselves, you just need to sign it. It's obvious that they are your true fans."
After lurking in Du Yuanzhe's super topic and fan group for a while, she was able to distinguish between real fans and fake fans.
But Du Yuanzhe wanted to shut Chen Rongsan's mouth. He was almost killed by Xia Ningmi's eyes.
Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze, sat down again and said, "Since you have something to do, go and do it."
Chen Rongshan frowned, very unhappy with Xia Ningmi's tone. This was the Du family's old house, the Du family's territory. It was not Xia Ningmi's turn to give orders and show off.
She couldn't help but say, "Boss Xia is so impressive. If you don't know, you would think this is the Xia family."
Du Yuanzhe's expression changed slightly.
Xia Ning raised her eyes to look at her, her gaze indifferent and without any emotion.
Chen Rongshan's heart shuddered, and she recalled the scene in the Far Eastern Mall where Xia Ning scolded her speechless. She subconsciously wanted to back out, but she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her son. She said timidly, "Am I wrong? This is the Du family. Yuanzhe can go wherever he wants. Does he need President Xia's consent?"
The more Du Yuanzhe listened, the worse it felt, so he quickly pulled Chen Rongsan away to prevent her from saying anything excessive.
Chen Rongshan was dragged along for a while. Without Xia Ningmi's pressure, she felt much more relaxed. She frowned and said, "Yuanzhe, stay away from Xia Ningmi from now on. She is too powerful and doesn't take others seriously at all."
Du Yuanzhe pursed his lips and said, "Mom, as the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest. How could you say that just now?"
Chen Rongshan rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "How dare you say that? Mom is just venting her anger on your behalf. Listen to her tone just now. It's as if you have to get her approval for everything you do. You're just her employee, not her servant."
Du Yuanzhe explained: "We were talking, and suddenly we wanted to leave. Of course we had to get the guest's consent. And he just said one sentence, he didn't say I couldn't leave, you are just overthinking it."
Xia Ningmi had a strong possessiveness over him, and it was not easy for her to take the initiative to ask him to leave. She didn't want to make things difficult for Du Yuanzhe, and this was originally for Du Yuanzhe's own good.
But Chen Rongsan didn't understand the real situation and got angry at Xia Ningmi instead. Du Yuanzhe felt very distressed when he heard it.
Chen Rongshan didn't think she had done anything wrong, and muttered, "Who made her always have a cold face and a stiff tone, like an ice cube? No one can stand it."
Du Yuanzhe paused and said sternly, "Mom, we are not qualified to judge others at will. How can you say bad things about people behind their backs?"
Chen Rongshan rarely saw her son so serious. She was stunned for a moment before she said helplessly, "Okay, okay, okay, Mom said something wrong, and Mom only talked to you and didn't tell anyone else. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Du Yuanzhe insisted, "It doesn't matter who you tell."
"It's not okay if mom doesn't tell me anymore!"
Chen Rongshan didn't want to mention Xia Ningmi anymore, so she pulled Du Yuanzhe to the ladies. A tall girl was leaning against her mother. When she saw Du Yuanzhe coming, her eyes suddenly became sparkling. She walked quickly to Du Yuanzhe and said excitedly, "Brother Zhe, I'm Li Qian. them and gave one to each of my classmates. I still have a lot left at home..."
Li Qian seemed to be a chatterbox and she never stopped talking since she met Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe didn't even have a chance to speak.
It was her mother who interrupted her and said, "At least let Yuanzhe say something."
My own daughter is like this; when she gets excited, she can talk for an hour without stopping.
Li Qian then realized that her true nature had been exposed in front of her idol, and she quickly explained, "Brother Zhe, I'm just so happy to see you."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, but you don't need to buy so many magazines, just buy one to show your support."
Li Qian said: "I didn't buy that many books, but some of my fans bought thousands of them. If my dad hadn't controlled my pocket money, I wouldn't have been outdone by them."
Speaking of this, Li Qian seemed very unconvinced.
"Brother Zhe, don't worry about us wasting money. We will find opportunities to give these magazines away to fans through raffles in the future. This is Brother Zhe's first magazine, and it's a top men's magazine. All the fans want to collect it."
Sugarcane is the nickname of Du Yuanzhe's fans.
Seeing that Li Qian was about to start talking nonstop again, Du Yuanzhe hurriedly asked, "Don't you want an autographed photo?"
After being reminded by Du Yuanzhe, Li Qian immediately took out the photos and even thoughtfully prepared a signature pen.
Without saying a word, Du Yuanzhe signed his name for her and also wrote a blessing.
Li Qian saw the words "study hard" and couldn't help but complain: "Brother Zhe, do you always encourage every student you see to study hard?"
Du Yuanzhe said seriously: "Studying is your main task."
Her mother agreed: "Yuanzhe is right, now is the time for you to study hard."
Li Qian said helplessly: "I know."
It's fine to be criticized at home, but I am criticized again when I go out to meet my idol.
Du Yuanzhe was still thinking about Xia Ningmi in his heart, and said, "Mom, President Xia and I have something to discuss."
Before Chen Rongshan could say anything, Li Qian exclaimed, "Mr. Xia? Is it Mr. Xia from Qianying Entertainment?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded, obviously feeling that she was even more excited.
Li Qian covered her chest and said, "I can't take it anymore. I'm so excited. I'm so lucky today. I got to meet two idols in a row."
"Brother Zhe, can you take me to see President Xia?"
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Are you a fan of President Xia?"
Li Qian nodded frantically: "I like Ms. Xia very much after watching her live broadcast. The reason why I pay attention to Brother Zhe is because you are an artist of Qianying Entertainment."
Du Yuanzhe didn't expect that he still benefited from Xia Ningmi.
He thought about it and felt that it would be better to take her to see Xia Ningmi so that he wouldn't have to explain.
"Okay, come with me."
Li Qian thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Zhe."
......
Xia Ningmi was still sitting there with a red wine glass in front of her. Maybe someone had just asked her to toast.
Seeing Du Yuanzhe leading a girl over, Xia Ningmi instantly guessed the girl's identity.
I just don't understand why Du Yuanzhe brought her here.
Du Yuanzhe took the initiative to explain: "This is Li Qian, she is your fan."
Xia Ningmi was stunned for a moment. How did she become her fan?
Li Qian finally saw Xia Ningmi up close and couldn't bear to blink: "Sister Ning, you are even prettier than in the camera. We all think you are the most perfect person in the world and we all admire you very much."
Hearing the girl's name, Du Yuanzhe found that she was really sweet-talking and called everyone brother or sister.
She must be a true fan of Xia Ningmi, her tone became much softer, not at all like she was in front of Du Yuanzhe.
Xia Ningmi could of course see Li Qian's sincerity, but she had no experience dealing with fans, so she said calmly, "Thank you."
Li Qian didn't care about Xia Ningmi's indifference at all. She even thought that Xia Ningmi was just supposed to be like this. She said with some regret, "If I had known that Sister Ning was here, I would have brought her photo. This way, I could have collected autographed photos of both idols."
Du Yuanzhe reminded: "You can take a photo with your idol."
Li Qian's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xia Ning carefully: "Is it okay?"
Xia Ningmi nodded calmly: "Okay."
Li Qian was so excited that she almost jumped up. She immediately unlocked her phone and handed it to Du Yuanzhe.
She sat on the sofa next to Xia Ningmi very tactfully, not too close to her, with her head slightly tilted towards Xia Ningmi and both hands making the scissors gesture.
Xia Ningmi raised her eyes and looked at the camera, her face expressionless, in stark contrast to the smiling Li Qiancheng next to her, but the two of them sitting together did not seem out of place.
Facts have proven that people with good looks can create a beautiful sight no matter what they do.
Du Yuanzhe found a good angle and took a photo that he thought was pretty good.
Li Qian immediately jumped up and took the phone to check it, and said with satisfaction: "Thank you, Brother Zhe, the photo is very beautiful."
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows when she heard the title.
Du Yuanzhe deliberately said: "It's all because of your sister Ning's good temperament."
[This girl is so outgoing, there is nothing I can do about it]
“Eh——”
Li Qian suddenly enlarged the photo, then looked down at Xia Ningmi's left hand and said in surprise: "Sister Ning is also wearing a ring of this brand."
Du Yuanzhe's heart skipped a beat.
Oops, he forgot about the ring.
Li Qian looked at Du Yuanzhe's left hand again, which still had two rings on it.
Li Qian smiled and said, "It turns out that Sister Ning and Brother Zhe both like this brand of rings. What a coincidence. I also ordered a plain ring from this brand, but it hasn't been delivered yet."
Seeing that she had no doubts, Du Yuanzhe pretended to be calm and said, "This brand is quite famous. I have seen many people wearing it."
This brand is very famous and many celebrities wear it.
Their couple rings and single rings look exactly the same on the surface, with only a slight difference in the inner ring. You can't see the difference with your naked eyes, but you can feel it after wearing it.
Except for the owner of the ring, no one will know whether they are wearing a couple's ring.
Xia Ningmi's expression did not change throughout the whole process, as if this was not something worth worrying about.
After getting the photo, Li Qian stopped bothering them and took the initiative to say goodbye and return to her mother.
Du Yuanzhe waited for her to leave before walking over to sit next to Xia Ningmi and said, "Fortunately, she didn't think too much about it."
Xia Ning asked: "Why did you bring her here?"
“She said she’s your fan.”
"I have to meet every fan?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "It's just a coincidence. She is a fan of both of us. And she is my fan because of you. This is fate."
Xia Ningmi didn't believe his lies: "Did you bring her here on purpose to divert my attention and make me forget about picking on you?"
Of course Du Yuanzhe denied it and insisted that he was only helping Li Qian meet her idol out of pure kindness.
Xia Ningmi didn't argue with him. His goal had indeed been achieved. She felt much better and said, "I'll forgive you this time."
Du Yuanzhe smiled, was silent for a while and said, "My mother said something wrong before. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Xia Ning said: "You don't have to apologize."
"She's my mother, of course I have to apologize."
Xia Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you have to apologize to me on her behalf or apologize to her on my behalf every time in the future?"
When Du Yuanzhe heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling and said, "You just don't understand each other yet, so..."
Xia Ningmi interrupted, "I can't please her, nor can I compliment her with words that don't really mean what I say."
Chen Rongshan doesn't like Xia Ningmi, and Xia Ningmi also looks down on Chen Rongshan.
In her opinion, Chen Rongsan deserves the word "stupid". If Du Yongliang had not protected her all these years and if few people dared to provoke Du, Chen Rongsan would have been deceived eight hundred times.
However, dealing with a mother-in-law like Chen Rongshan is very simple. You just need to go along with her. Chen Rongshan has a good heart. As long as you go along with her, everything will be fine.
Just like Zhao Zhimeng, she knew exactly how to make Chen Rongsan happy, so Chen Rongsan was very satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law. Even though she and Du Yuanwen had been married for many years without getting pregnant, Chen Rongsan would only hint at them occasionally and would never bother them to induce labor frequently.
But Xia Ningmi is not the type to please others, and she can't always go along with Chen Rongshan. She can only help Chen Rongshan practice how to avoid being fooled by others.
Of course, Chen Rongshan probably doesn't want to exercise.
Du Yuanzhe rubbed his forehead with a headache. He didn't expect that he would experience a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before he even got married.
"Qiqi, my mom is very easy to fool...cough cough coaxing, you don't need to please her, just be a little careful to deal with her."
Xia Ningmi is so smart, it is not too easy for her to deal with Chen Rongshan.
Xia Ningmi glanced at him and did not correct his naive thoughts. In the future, Du Yuanzhe would know that the relationship between her and Chen Rongshan would not be so smooth.
She could see it from Chen Rongsan's attitude towards Du Yuanzhe just now.
Chen Rongsan dotes on Du Yuanzhe very much. She almost obeys Du Yuanzhe in everything. She certainly doesn't want her doted-on son to be ordered around by her daughter-in-law, so her ideal daughter-in-law should also be obedient to Du Yuanzhe like she is.
At the same time, in Chen Rongsan's heart, Du Yuanzhe is perfect. She does not allow anyone to say anything bad about Du Yuanzhe. Even if her ideal daughter-in-law does not admire Du Yuanzhe, she cannot find fault with him.
Chen Rongsan will adjust this standard appropriately according to her daughter-in-law's family background, but she will not allow her daughter-in-law's family background to surpass that of the Du family, because she is worried that Du Yuanzhe will be wronged.
To sum up, Xia Ningmi and Chen Rongshan's ideal daughter-in-law are not even close.
Du Yuanzhe believed that as long as he could mediate, Xia Ningmi and Chen Rongshan could live in peace.
He will realize later how naive his current thinking is.
Xia Ningmi likes Du Yuanzhe and will marry him in the future. She will not live with Chen Rongshan and does not care much about what Chen Rongshan thinks.
For people she doesn't care about, Xia Ningmi wouldn't even bother to give them a look, and wouldn't waste too much thought on them.
Although she would also love Du Yongliang's family, for example, she came to attend Du Yongliang's birthday party today, but she didn't love him for long. The birthday party was almost over and she didn't even go to say hello to Du Yongliang. She only chatted with Du Yuanwen about the mall.
In her heart, the Du family is Du Yuanzhe's family, not her family. Even if they get married in the future, Du Yuanzhe is her only family.
......
After the birthday banquet, there were still four days left before the filming of the new movie "Surfaced". This time the movie was not filmed in Yancheng or Jiangcheng Film and Television City.
Xu Cheng searched for a long time before he found a small village that met the requirements of the plot. This village belonged to Lincheng, so their filming location was set in Lincheng.
Xu Cheng rented a large piece of land around the small village and built all the scenes that would appear in the movie. Most of the actors' scenes after joining the crew would be set in this area.
After Du Yuanzhe heard what Liu Xu said, he finally understood why Xu Cheng was able to achieve a completely closed-door shooting and why it cost so much money.
Whether it is renting land or building scenes, a lot of money is required.
I also understood why it took him so long to prepare before filming. It is not something that can be done in a short time to prepare all these things, so casting became the easiest thing.
Thinking of Xu Cheng building a small city, Du Yuanzhe became more excited about the upcoming filming.
On the third day after the birthday banquet, Du Yuanzhe received a call from Du Yuanwen. Du Yuanwen hesitated and couldn't explain clearly on the phone. He just asked Du Yuanzhe to accompany him to a place.
It was the first time that Du Yuanzhe saw Du Yuanwen like this. He was very curious about what happened. When he accompanied Du Yuanwen to the door of a Chinese medicine clinic, he worriedly asked, "Brother, did something happen to my sister-in-law?"
"It's not your sister-in-law, it's me..."
Du Yuanwen walked in with Du Yuanzhe, with an embarrassed expression on his face. He still didn't explain clearly, and walked into the room where the old Chinese doctor was sitting with Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanwen said, "Doctor Liu, my name is Du Yuanwen. I called you before and made an appointment to see you at 2 pm."
Doctor Liu nodded and glanced at Du Yuanzhe. He knew that he was his real patient.
But when he looked at Du Yuanzhe's face, he felt a little confused. The rosy and plump complexion didn't seem like there was anything wrong with his body.
Du Yuanwen said, "You know my situation. Please feel my pulse first. Which hand do you need?"
Doctor Liu said, "To be more accurate, we need to feel the pulse on both hands. Mr. Du, please stretch out your left hand first."
Du Yuanzhe didn't find out what happened to Du Yuanwen. He became even more curious. He turned his head to look at the furnishings in the room. There was not a single Western medicine element here. All were the tools needed for Chinese medicine. The set of gold needles was placed in the most conspicuous place.
In the bookcase nearby were various Chinese medicine books, which looked quite old and showed signs of being frequently read.
Then, Du Yuanzhe's eyes fixed.
On the wall to his left was a sign that introduced Dr. Liu and detailed what he was good at.
When Du Yuanzhe saw the sentence "especially good at treating male diseases", he was stunned.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to find that he was not mistaken.
Du Yuanzhe looked at Du Yuanwen with a strange expression and whispered, "Brother, is there something wrong with your body?"
Du Yuanwen secretly gritted his teeth, thinking, if it wasn't for you, a stinky boy, would I sacrifice myself like this? But he sighed and said, "Recently, I suddenly found that I am a little overwhelmed. Your sister-in-law asked me to take a look."
Du Yuanzhe frowned: "Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant?"
Isn't it necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse during pregnancy?
Du Yuanwen really didn't want to discuss this with his brother, but he still had to answer: "The doctor said that we just need to avoid the first three months and the last three months."
Du Yuanzhe understood, he really didn't know this.
Du Yuanzhe didn't expect that Du Yuanwen would have such a problem when he was only in his early thirties. No wonder Du Yuanwen was embarrassed to say it and didn't let his secretary come along.
He patted Du Yuanwen's shoulder sympathetically and asked, "Doctor, how is my elder brother? Can he be cured?"
Du Yuanwen couldn't help but clench his fists. His sacrifice had better be rewarded, otherwise...
As an insider, Doctor Liu could understand Du Yuanwen's current mood and did not let Du Yuanzhe misunderstand for too long. He said, "Mr. Du is in good health. He has just been overworked recently and has not been eating properly, which has caused his body to become weak. He will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."
Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "So my elder brother is fine?"
Du Yuanwen said faintly, "You sound a little disappointed. Do you really hope that something happens to me?"
Du Yuanzhe quickly shook his head: "It's better if it's a misunderstanding. I certainly hope that big brother is in good health."
Du Yuanwen snorted coldly, pulled him to sit in his seat, and said, "Doctor Liu, please take a look at him too. I think he has more problems than me."
Du Yuanzhe immediately retorted: "I have no problem at all."
The best proof of this is that Xia Ningmi now goes to work at nine o'clock every day.
Doctor Liu knew that the real patient had arrived and said, "Please Mr. Du, stretch out your left hand."
"I said I'm fine."
Du Yuanwen pressed his shoulders and threatened him with an unfriendly look.
He has paid such a huge price, there is no way he would let Du Yuanzhe leave like this.
Du Yuanzhe had no choice but to stretch out his left hand.
Doctor Liu carefully felt his pulse for a while, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said, "Change to the other hand."
Du Yuanzhe placed his right hand on the pillow again.
After a while, Doctor Liu said, "Mr. Du has sufficient Qi and blood, and there is nothing wrong with him."
This strong pulse doesn't seem like that of a weak person.
Du Yuanwen was stunned: "Really?"
Doctor Liu nodded: "I am sure of it."
So, it was he and Zhao Zhimeng who created an oolong?
grass
He sacrificed too much!
Du Yuanzhe stood up and said, "I'll just say I'm fine."
Du Yuanwen turned his head to look at him, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
After saying goodbye to Doctor Liu, Du Yuanwen said he wanted to take Du Yuanzhe somewhere.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to treat me to a meal?"
He felt that Du Yuanwen walked into the Chinese medicine clinic today with a nervous mood, and now that he found out that nothing was wrong, he must want to have a good meal.
Du Yuanwen said, "You can accompany me to do something first, and then I will treat you to a meal."
"What is it?"
As soon as Du Yuanzhe asked, he found that Du Yuanwen had parked his car at the gym. His expression changed immediately. He had a psychological shadow on this place.
"Brother, I didn't offend you, did I?"
Du Yuanwen smiled and said, "I'll just warm up a little today."
He was determined to make such a huge sacrifice, but in the end Du Yuanzhe was fine. Although this was a good thing, Du Yuanwen felt like a fool when he thought about the entanglement of the past two days.
He couldn't take it out on himself, so he could only find Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe opened the car door and wanted to run, but was forcibly dragged into the gym by Du Yuanwen.
