Yue Lin: "Your brother just said that he has found a place to live and will move out in a few days."
How is that possible?
It took a lot of effort for his brother to agree to come back and live with them! He was very busy, always flying around. From last year to now, the time he had lived here could be counted on one hand. It had only been a few days, why was he moving out again?
Zhou Jingxi suddenly became anxious and asked his mother: "Ah? My brother won't live with us anymore? Why?"
Her silly son couldn't even see that.
Why?
How can it be comfortable to live under the same roof with a family with whom you have no feelings for each other?
Zhou Jingyu felt uncomfortable, and she felt uncomfortable too. She wished Zhou Jingyu would move out of this place as soon as possible.
Besides, she is an outsider and she can choose not to fight, but her son's surname is Zhou and he is also Zhou Donghai's grandson. Why should everything be given to Zhou Jingyu while her son gets nothing? Her son Zhou Jingxi must have a share of the Zhou family's property!
She is the only silly son in the family who doesn't care about the inheritance at all, is ignorant of the ways of the world, and only cares about his brother!
After all, he is still young, and he will only understand these things after waiting a few more years.
Although she had many thoughts in her mind, she was always the best mother in front of Zhou Jingxi. She looked helpless and sighed with pretended concern: "How should I know? Maybe he is not used to it. As for where he will live in the future, I, as his stepmother, can't control him too much. You are his younger brother, and he is closest to you in this family. Why don't you go and ask? In case he lives in a messy place, we can't explain to your grandfather here!"
Zhou Jiayi, who had heard the whole story, said angrily, "Explanation? What explanation do you want? Even if he died outside, it has nothing to do with us!"
Zhou Jingxi felt that Zhou Jiayi was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He would kick anyone he caught and was completely unreasonable. He tugged at his mother's sleeve, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "...Mom, you take care of him!"
He pointed upstairs again and said, "I'll go up first!"
After saying that, he ran upstairs.
Zhou Jiayi was very dissatisfied with his behavior. He turned to Yue Lin and couldn't understand it. He pointed at the upstairs angrily and said, "What's going on? These two people are running away without eating? How can you be full just by looking at them?"
…
The sanatorium is about twenty minutes' drive from the old house. When Zhou Jingyu walked into Zhou Donghai's ward, the nurse was feeding Zhou Donghai.
Zhou Donghai was born in poverty. When he was young, he washed dishes for others, set up stalls on the road, and worked as a porter at the dock. He started from scratch and created a business legend that ordinary people talk about with relish. His life is full of legends. He used to be vigorous and decisive in doing things, and he could call the wind and rain.
This is the kind of person who, when he gets old, finds it extremely difficult even to use a spoon to eat by himself.
Whether poor or rich, time is fair to everyone.
Zhou Jingyu walked over and took the bowl and spoon from the nurse.
"Are you here?"
Zhou Donghai smiled when he saw it was him.
He is 85 years old and his face is full of wrinkles. He has been lying in bed for nearly a year, and his muscles have atrophied greatly. His body under the bed is thin and weak.
Sometimes he was sleeping when Zhou Jingyu came, and Zhou Jingyu always couldn't help but use his fingers to check his breathing, for fear that he had passed away quietly.
Zhou Donghai was very perceptive. In order to prevent Zhou Donghai from seeing his concern for his health at the moment, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said "hmm".
Then he reached out and fed Zhou Donghai.
As long as he was in Lingcheng, he would often come to see Zhou Donghai. The time was irregular, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, sometimes in the afternoon, or even late at night.
Zhou Donghai knew that among all the children, he was the most filial. And he was also the one who was most worried about him.
Zhou Donghai knows his own body and he knows that he doesn't have much time to live. Before he dies, he hopes to see his most beloved grandson have a home of his own, get married and have children, and live a happy life.
"What have you thought about what grandpa told you last time?"
Zhou Donghai asked.
Only in front of Zhou Donghai would Zhou Jingyu show some emotions.
He knew that if he said no, Zhou Donghai would be very disappointed, but at the moment, he really had no intention of getting married and having children.
So when Zhou Donghai talked about this topic, Zhou Jingyu kept silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
When Zhou Jingyu was three years old, his mother died, and Zhou Donghai raised Zhou Jingyu by his side. He knew him very well. Seeing his sullen look, he knew that this was a silent protest against him.
But Zhou Donghai has been able to get to where he is today because of his stubbornness.
Zhou Donghai was not so easy to give up, and continued: "Yesterday I gave your WeChat to that girl. That girl is 24 this year. I have met her. She is not only well-educated, but also good-looking. She is a good match for you. You are 28 years old. You will be 30 in two years. It is time for you to get married. Besides, I heard that the girl also studied in France and graduated from the same university as you. You are destined to be together. Anyway, I gave her your WeChat. If she adds you, don't refuse. Chat with her. Chat more, maybe you will fall in love with her."
"Grandpa, this is the only wish that has not been fulfilled yet. Just think of it as helping me fulfill my wish. Just do it as you see fit."
Zhou Donghai has said such things, what else can Zhou Jingyu do?
I could only nod in agreement: "...Yes."
Zhou Donghai didn't stay in the ward for long. He was easily tired now. He was awake for less time and slept for more time. After breakfast, it was time for him to rest. For Zhou Jingyu, it was time to go to work.
Before leaving, Zhou Jingyu said to Zhou Donghai: "Grandpa, I will move to another place in a few days."
It’s still a matter of address.
He lived in France for many years, and was suddenly called back to Lingcheng last year when Zhou Donghai became seriously ill. Zhou Donghai had a legendary life. He was domineering when he was young, but when he was old, he hoped to see a big family with loving mothers and filial children, and harmonious descendants. Zhou Jingyu could have stopped living there and socializing with others, but he should fulfill his grandfather's little wish.
However, this is all he can do. Starting this year, his work and life focus will be completely transferred from France to China. By then, he will spend most of his time in Lingcheng, and it will not be appropriate for him to live with the Zhou family.
Zhou Donghai's eyes were originally closed, but upon hearing this, he opened them again.
He looked at Zhou Jingyu with eyes that were no longer as clear as before, and after a long time, he sighed.
"Well, it's up to you where you want to live."
On the way to the company, he kept thinking about what had happened in the past year and what Zhou Donghai had just said. Normally, Zhou Jingyu would not spend time reminiscing about the past. He always looked forward and moved towards his goal.
Zhou Jingyu kept his promise. He was a man who always kept his word. Recalling what Zhou Donghai said about adding WeChat, he immediately took out his mobile phone.
From morning till now, except for answering two overseas calls, he has not turned on his cell phone.
When I opened WeChat, a red dot for adding friends did appear above the address book.
However, the number is not 1, but 2.
This means that during the period from when he went to bed last night to now, two people have added him at the same time.
Why are there two?
Didn’t grandpa only say one?
Of course, Zhou Jingyu would not ask Zhou Donghai about this question specifically. Maybe Zhou Donghai gave it to two people at the same time, but only remembered to tell him one of them and forgot to tell him the other.
After all, he was eager to get married, so it was not surprising to introduce him to two candidates at the same time.
One of these two people uses a cat as his profile picture, and the other uses a selfie. Zhou Jingyu has no concept of the beauty or ugliness of women. In his eyes, it's just a matter of whether he likes them or not.
He is not interested in the opposite sex, but he had a cat when he was in France, and that cat accompanied him through a long and lonely period of time.
His intuition made him click on the cat avatar first.
The friend request with the cat avatar had two words written on it: "Senior Brother~".
The girl Zhou Donghai was talking about should be her.
The word "senior brother" is understandable, Zhou Donghai said, she and he are from the same university but in a different class, so there is nothing wrong with calling him "senior brother".
But that wavy line made Zhou Jingyu feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
Why talk like that? He couldn't understand.
Zhou Jingyu resists adding any opposite sex as a friend for the purpose of blind dating, but he has already promised Zhou Donghai.
He should keep his promise.
His hand paused on the reject button for a moment, and finally, he clicked OK.
As for the other application, he rejected it without even looking at it.
After all, he only agreed to add Zhou Donghai as a friend.
It was the one he said, so it wasn't a breach of promise.
The author has something to say:
Updated before 12 o'clock, yeah, still updated daily, that's right!
Chapter 5
After the opening ceremony, the official shooting began the next day.
Wen Tang went to bed at nearly one o'clock last night, and got up before eight o'clock in the morning and rushed to the crew.
Her apartment is about 40 minutes' drive from the filming location, which is quite far. Liu Meifen wanted to book a room for Wen Tang at a star-rated hotel near the crew, but Wen Tang disagreed. Having lived in hotels in various places since she was a child, she was tired of living in hotels.
After getting in the car, Ke Xin handed the breakfast to Wen Tang and asked her to eat in the car.
Wen Tang likes to eat Heshengyuan’s fried buns, but female stars have strict control over their food. Only when she joins the crew to film a drama will Wen Tang allow herself to indulge herself as a reward for her hard work in the next few months.
While Wen Tang was eating, Ke Xin was browsing her phone. As she browsed, she frowned.
"Tangtang, look at this."
He handed the phone to Wen Tang and showed him today's hot searches.
"Jiang Qianya actually got in touch with Director Feng and is acting in a movie with Zhao Yijun!"
Director Feng's full name is Feng Qiqian. He is one of the most famous directors in China. He is a guarantee of both word-of-mouth and box office, and has made countless artists famous. Whenever he is about to make a movie, people in the industry are fighting to get in front of him. Even if they are not the male or female lead, they are willing to get the second male lead, the third male lead, the fourth male lead, or the second female lead, the third female lead, or the fourth female lead!
Wen Tang has also filmed several movies in recent years, but the response was mediocre. Her comfort zone has always been TV dramas.
The heroine of the film "Hear Your Heart" that Wen Tang is currently filming was originally Jiang Qianya, but Jiang Qianya refused to film and even paid the penalty. I originally thought that Jiang Qianya gave up the role because the crew was all 18th-tier, but now it seems that disliking the configuration is only one of the reasons. More importantly, she hooked up with Director Feng and wanted to soar to the sky.
Hearing this, Wen Tang looked up at the phone that Ke Xin handed over to her. She had heard the rumor from Liu Meifen a long time ago, so she was not too surprised.
Among the three people in the car except the driver, Wen Tang and Yang Yang were extremely calm after hearing the news. Only Ke Xin was extremely surprised!
She doesn't understand!
In terms of popularity, Wen Tang is no worse than Jiang Qianya, and is even slightly better. Especially in recent years, he has almost suffocated Jiang Qianya.
Not to mention his acting skills, Wen Tang is far better than Jiang Qianya.
But why is it that no big director is interested in Tangtang and invites her to be the heroine in a good movie?
"Ke Xin, how come you were so delayed in finding out the news that you only know it now?" Yang Yang chuckled twice, thinking back to when the financing company of the drama that Jiang Qianya had given up on forced Wen Tang to take over. Not to mention Wen Tang, both he and Ke Xin, the two young assistants, were so angry that their hair stood on end.
