Chapter 75 Little Chenzhan
As an orchestra conductor, Xu Jing is also a good guzheng player, and of course she wants to train her daughter to become an excellent performer or musician.
Unfortunately, Chen Zan was very spoiled when he was a child and could not bear the hardship of learning the guzheng. He practiced the instrument for three days and was in tears for two days, like a little crybaby.
He was only a few years old at that time. He was as delicate as a piece of jade, with a pair of big eyes with distinct black and white, his black eyelashes flickering, and tears would come out of his eyes as soon as he pursed his lips.
Holding a pair of small hands, he ran to Chen Jiaohua and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, my hands hurt, please blow on them."
Xu Jing didn't indulge her and scolded her harshly: "You've only been practicing for a few minutes, and you're wearing gloves, but your hands haven't even warmed up yet. Why are you hurting?"
Well, after hearing this roar, tears as big as beans rolled down from her big eyes, making Chen Jiaohua feel very distressed.
Because of her flirting with Chen Jiaohua, Chen Zhan stopped learning the guzheng, which made Xu Jing very angry. Later, when she was in fifth grade, many classmates signed up for extracurricular interest classes. Chen Zhan thought the child at the same table played the violin well, so he ran home and said to Xu Jing, "Mom, I want to learn the violin."
Xu Jing was originally very disappointed that Chen Zan gave up learning the guzheng, and was thinking of finding her another instrument. Now she took the initiative to say that she wanted to learn the violin. Xu Jing was so happy that she took her to sign up for the interest class held by the orchestra outside the next day and found the best violin teacher in Rongchuan at that time.
After two months of study, during the summer vacation, Xu Jing was busy with orchestra rehearsals and left her child alone in the interest class. If something happened and she didn't come to pick her up after class, she would just let her stay there by herself for several hours.
Once she went out to play, and Xu Jing didn't pick her up and almost called the police. Later, she bought her a mobile phone. At that time, phone watches were not so popular. Little Chen Zan had a mobile phone to play with, and she was obsessed with online comics and novels every day. She was caught by Xu Jing and scolded several times.
At the end of the summer vacation, little Chenzhan forgot to take his schoolbag after practicing the piano. The schoolbag was still there, but the cell phone inside was missing.
The backpack was placed in a blind spot of the surveillance camera and nothing was captured, so naturally no one knew who took it.
The little crybaby felt like the sky was falling. She was afraid that her mother would scold her, and she also felt that the violin was a bad omen for her. She finally persuaded her mother to buy her a mobile phone, but it was lost just like that.
When Xu Jing came to pick her up, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. The interest class teacher tried to comfort her but failed. When she was brought back and scolded again, she felt even more aggrieved and sobbed, saying that she would never learn the violin again.
At this point, Xiao Chenzhan’s musical instrument career came to an end. Later, in order to improve her bad habit of giving up halfway, Xu Jing began to impose stricter restrictions on her studies and private life.
After hearing this, Director Gu couldn't help but feel surprised. Chen Zan now looked so docile and sensible. It seemed that she could withstand even the biggest thing. The three generations of women in the Xu family gave him this feeling.
It turns out that I was also a little crybaby who loved to act coquettishly when I was a child.
He was divorced but had no children. I suddenly felt it was a pity, but then I thought, if he had a daughter, he would not be so strict with her since childhood.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but feel his toes digging into the ground when he heard about his embarrassing childhood experiences. He said flatteringly, "Grandma, it happened so long ago. It's so embarrassing. Please forgive me and don't tell me anymore."
Chen Jiaohua laughed at her, saying that they were all family, so what was there to be afraid of?
Speaking of this, Chen Jiaohua suddenly asked Xu Jing and Gu Wenjun: "Zhanzhan and I have no objection to your relationship. When are you planning to get the marriage certificate?"
Speaking of getting married, Gu Wenjun was quite happy, but he still said, "That depends on Xiaojing."
Xu Jing, on the other hand, was much calmer: "Let's wait and see after the new year. At our age, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not."
Gu Wenjun opened his mouth but said nothing when he heard this.
Chen Jiaohua saw it all and said, "Xu Jing, you know you're old enough. If you don't get a marriage certificate, do you still want to be in a lifelong relationship? Don't bully Director Gu. Only after getting a marriage certificate can you be a real couple and support each other in life. You can't be so willful."
Xu Jing said helplessly, "I know, Mom."
Gu Wenjun looked at Chen Jiaohua gratefully and said, "Auntie, this abalone and scallop soup is best for people who have just had surgery. You should try it."
Chen Jiaohua smiled slowly, "Xiao Gu is thoughtful."
Chen Zan ate his food silently beside him and did not participate in this topic.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Jiaohua wanted to go to the bathroom and asked Chen Zan to accompany her. Just as she was about to remind her grandmother that there was a bathroom in the private room, she saw the old lady wink at her.
Chen Zan put down his chopsticks and helped her up.
After leaving the private room, Chen Jiaohua said to her, "I thought your mother liked Director Gu. I hope she won't let him down."
Chen Zhan whispered at this time: "If you don't like each other that much, you don't have to be together."
Chen Jiaohua glanced at her and chuckled, "There aren't that many lovers in the world who end up together. They're just making do with their lives."
Chen Zhan: "Grandma, Grandpa is gone, but that doesn't necessarily mean you've remarried."
Chen Jiaohua shook her head, patted her hands, and said earnestly, "It's different. I've been married before. My generation was different from yours. I don't want to remarry because I don't want to serve others anymore. I want your mother to get married because she is my child. Maybe that's the traditional thinking of the older generation. They want to see their children have a good home while they are still alive."
Chen Zhan understood, "I understand, grandma."
Chen Jiaohua didn't really want to go to the bathroom, she wanted to make room for the people in the box. She thought the hotel was well decorated, with a retro and literary atmosphere like a movie, so she asked Chen Zan to accompany her for a walk.
I went upstairs only when I felt it was about time.
At this moment, a surprised voice came from behind, "Ms. Chen?"
Chen Zan subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Zhang Qing, but she did not greet him because Chen Jiaohua also saw Zhang Qing when she turned around.
Zhang Qing: "Hello, Grandma Xu."
The people around Zhou Jingyu are no ordinary people. Although they only met once three months ago, Chen Jiaohua remembers this person, the young secretary who followed Zhou Jingyu.
She called out elegantly, "Secretary Zhang, we meet again."
Zhang Qing took two steps up the stairs, getting closer to them. His eyes passed over Chen Zhan, "Grandma Xu, are you eating here with your family too?"
Chen Jiaohua naturally understood the word 'also', which meant that Zhou Jingyu was also here, but she did not respond and only replied calmly: "It's a holiday, and the family is out for dinner together."
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Zhou is also having dinner here with Secretary Song's family today."
Chen Zan was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously tightened his palms.
Chen Jiaohua just smiled and said politely, "I wish you a pleasant meal. I won't bother you any more."
Zhang Qing said yes respectfully.
Back in the box, Chen Jiaohua's face looked not as good as before.
Xu Jing and Gu Wenjun should have chatted about some things after they left. Anyway, the atmosphere in the whole box was not as good as it was at the beginning. Even if Chen Zan wanted to ease the situation, it seemed to be of no avail.
Xu Jing asked Chen Zhan directly: "You've already agreed to get the marriage certificate, so who made your grandmother unhappy?"
Chen Zhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I met Secretary Zhang when I just came back."
It seemed that Xu Jing was not familiar with Zhou Jingyu's surroundings, and they had only met briefly outside the temple that day.
Chen Jiaohua looked at her and said, "She's the secretary of the second son of the Zhou family."
"Zhou Jingyu?" Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold, "Why is he here too?"
"What's going on?" Gu Wenjun didn't know some things about their family, and Xu Jing had also told him about them, so he was confused.
Chen Zan should be thankful now. When Zhou Jingyu helped her, Director Gu only knew that someone more powerful than the Wei family helped him, but he didn't know that Zhou Jingyu was behind it.
