Chapter 36: Wife and Children Separated
If someone offered to give him money, Lan Xi would certainly not refuse.
She accepted the divination fee, then looked at the director and spoke softly.
"As long as you do that ghost-hunting variety show, you'll definitely get a lot of attention. The trending searches will be full of news about celebrity guests dying tragically on the show."
Hearing what the little girl said, the director took a deep breath!
"What if I don't do a ghost-hunting variety show, but continue to do regular variety shows?" he asked.
"Then you can rest assured. Your future is not bad, but..."
Lan Xi paused.
"What's wrong?" Director Zhou's heart beat wildly because of the little girl's pause.
The next second, he saw the little girl stretched out her hand to him and said, "What I'm going to say next is another hexagram, and it costs extra money."
Zhou Dongguang: ...
A thousand yuan was really nothing to him, but the little girl's heavy breathing made his heart beat fast.
Without saying a word, he transferred another thousand yuan to the girl before letting her continue.
"He had a bright future, but his wife and children were separated, and he was alone, with a miserable old age."
"How could this happen!" Zhou Dongguang frowned and stood there in disbelief.
Lan Xi's gaze left the director's ears, one higher than the other and slightly uneven.
Judging from the face, this is what it looks like.
She knew that no one would accept her words.
Considering that the director had given her two thousand yuan in a short while, she spoke up and pointed out a clear path for Director Zhou -
"Everything in this world is about cause and effect. The key to your problem lies in two words: willingness to give up."
Seeing Director Zhou looking confused, Lan Xi continued.
"You have to sacrifice to gain. If you put all your energy into your career and give up your investment in your family and the care you give to your loved ones, you will achieve career success, but your family who loves you deeply will leave you."
"When they leave, you don't have to blame them for not understanding you. Understanding is mutual."
"You are very important and indispensable to them, so they will be disappointed in you because of your absence from family and your indifference to your family."
Having said that, Director Zhou already understood what the little girl meant.
He suddenly remembered that when he was working, he was so devoted to the program crew that sometimes he didn't even call home for a week.
He is very busy. In addition to recording the show, he also has to personally review every aspect of the game arrangements, process testing, post-production editing, and effect presentation in the early stages of the show.
Even if the variety show is broadcast successfully, he won't have much time to go home.
He has to build a team with the program staff, have dinner with sponsors, and prepare for the next variety show.
Although he would send money home every month, his only contribution to the family was money.
As a director, he must be qualified.
But he never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and a husband!
"If I reduce my investment in my career and spend more time with my family, will my fate be different?"
When Zhou Dongguang thought about his wife and children being separated from him and the loneliness in his later years, he suddenly felt that the career he had worked so hard for seemed to have no meaning.
Lan Xi looked at the director but did not give a definite answer.
She only said, "Although your face has shown the outcome, but man can conquer nature, who knows?"
"Okay." Director Zhou said. At this moment, he had already weighed the importance of career and family in his mind.
After thinking this through, Zhou Dongguang breathed a sigh of relief.
If the little girl hadn't said this, he would definitely continue to focus all his attention on his career.
It was the little girl's words that made him reflect and weigh the pros and cons.
"Thank you," he said.
Not far away, after Lan Xingyu came down the mountain, he learned the location of his sister. He came to the village entrance and heard Director Zhou thanking his sister.
Lan Xingyu didn't hear what just happened, but he knew that Director Zhou was not the kind of person who would easily say thank you.
I think my sister must have helped Director Zhou a lot.
Lan Xi shook her head in response to the director's thanks.
"I have received the divination fee, and you should know the divination."
After she finished speaking, she saw her brother coming and immediately waved to him.
Lan Xingyu walked towards his sister with a smile on his face and said softly, "The show is over, it's time to go home."
Lan Xi nodded, "Then go home."
The nanny car had already stopped not far away. Lan Xingyu said hello to the director one last time, then got in the car with his sister and returned home.
…
At the same time, the Lan family in Haicheng.
Today is the day my sister comes home after recording the show.
Lan Ziji had already calculated the time when his sister would return.
While he had the house decorated, he also prepared new clothes for his sister.
After learning that his sister didn't like wearing skirts, Lan Ziji found a fashion designer and customized a series of sportswear for his sister.
Of course, all of them are brother and sister styles.
What his sister wore, he and his second and third brothers also had.
This way, they don’t have to rotate when they want to wear the same outfit as their sister.
…
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lan Xucheng, Lan's father, got off the plane and went straight home.
A few days ago, Lan Xucheng, who was abroad, learned the news that his daughter had been found. He finished his business matters as quickly as possible and returned home immediately.
Knowing that his daughter would be home today, Lan Xucheng also brought some gifts for his daughter from abroad.
There are watches, toys, princess dresses, crystal balls...
I just don’t know if my daughter will like it.
When I got home, my daughter had not come back yet, and only my wife and son were at home.
He immediately asked his eldest son to call the third son and ask where they were now.
Lan Xucheng discovered that he suddenly understood the old father's anxious feeling of waiting for his daughter to come home!
But this feeling is pretty good?
…
On the other side, Lan Xingyu had taken turns answering calls from his eldest brother and second brother in the car.
The eldest brother asked him when he would be home. The second brother said that although he was on the crew and couldn't go home, he had prepared a gift for his sister and asked the third brother to help him receive it.
Seeing how much the family cared about his sister, Lan Xingyu suddenly felt honored to be able to spend three days alone with his sister!
He is not even afraid of living in a haunted house on the mountain with his sister!
Lan Xi didn't expect that returning home would attract so much concern from people at home.
Knowing that his father was back today, Lan Xi was really curious about his biological father.
To have three outstanding sons like the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, her father must be very blessed.
On the side, Lan Xi listened to her third brother talking about their father.
"Although my father looks majestic and aloof, he is actually very kind to everyone in the family. You will understand after spending some time with him."
"Also, after our father comes back, our family will definitely hold a party for you."
"Mom has already said that our whole family will be there to tell everyone that our little princess of the Lan family is back!"
