After getting married, Chu Chu decided not to hold a wedding ceremony or deliberately return to family life. Instead, she would continue to stay in the entertainment industry and make movies. However, she would take on fewer promotional activities and reduce the frequency of filming to spend more time with Long Cheng.
Longcheng is also planning to retire and go into seclusion. There's no way around it; times have changed, and Xinyicheng has to move forward.
Longcheng now has a net worth of tens of billions thanks to Chu Yu's investment, with countless dividends every year. Xinyicheng also has many hidden businesses, and the money is all overseas. Chu Chu could never spend it all even if she never worked in her entire life.
But he didn't want to imprison her. She was a cheerful bird, vibrant and passionate. If he imprisoned her in a cage, she would lose her radiance, and that wouldn't be her anymore.
Chu Chu didn't plan to hold a wedding immediately, and Long Cheng respected her decision. Anyway, they had already registered their marriage and made their relationship official, so Long Cheng felt at ease, and everything else would fall into place naturally.
But you still have to get past your mother-in-law.
Longcheng accompanied Chuchu back to Beijing. As soon as they entered the house, Chuchu, Dai Donglin, Chuxiang, Qiping, Shulan, Yan Hongzhe, Shulan's second uncle Deng Fangping, and Xiao Jiang Yunyun were all there.
Shu Hui and Luo Kangcheng were also there. Luo Kangcheng, in particular, was the director of the Public Security Bureau. He always looked at Longcheng, this big shot, with a scrutinizing gaze.
Long Cheng knew his identity was unlikable, but he couldn't do anything about it. Life's fate is strange; no one can predict which path they will take.
Luo Kangcheng asked directly, "Why did you become a member of the underworld?"
Longcheng thought for a moment and said honestly, "If I had been born in the sunshine and had a happy childhood, it would have been difficult for me to go astray. Who wouldn't want to choose an easy path? It's just that I wasn't so lucky. I had a hard life since I was a child, and I had no choice but to take this path in order to make a living."
Long Cheng's answer was fairly sincere. Chu Yu had a general idea of what he had experienced in his childhood. Neither he nor Yu Xiangwen had had an easy life. The two of them had probably done bad things to get to where they are today.
But Chu Yu felt that if Xinyi City hadn't been under their control, and Hong Kong City had fallen into the hands of the likes of Goldman Sachs, it would have been much more chaotic than it is now.
They managed Xinyi City well, and Longcheng was qualified to be a big shot. People can't choose their own path, but to walk a path to the end and reach the top is a skill!
Luo Kangcheng also thought he was quite good. As they drank and toasted, they gradually relaxed their marital ties, and before long they were on friendly terms, calling each other brothers. He patted Long Cheng on the shoulder and asked:
"If I go to Hong Kong and mention your name, Dragon City, won't people know which gang I belong to?"
Long Cheng curled his lips, glanced at Chu Yu, and smiled:
"Director Luo, I'm on the socialist path, so don't go astray!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Chu Yu, remembering the jokes she had told, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, Uncle Luo, let's not test him anymore. This is Chu Chu's first time bringing her husband home, so let's not get him drunk. If Longcheng tells Gangcheng about it, the thugs from Xinyi City might come knocking on our door demanding an explanation!" Chu Yu joked.
Luo Kangcheng had drunk quite a bit. He shook his hand and said:
"No, Longcheng is on the socialist path! If his underlings come, they'll have to join our path too!"
Everyone laughed again. Chu Yu was ultimately going to help Long Cheng, so Dai Donglin didn't force him to drink. After a few toasts, they let him go.
Longcheng sighed, "It's always easier to get things done if you have connections in the court. Maintaining a good relationship with my sister-in-law is very important!"
That night, the two slept in Chu Chu's room. Long Cheng looked around Chu Chu's small room. It was decorated in a modern Chinese style, authentic and unique!
Chu Chu's furniture and decorations are all antiques. It's worth noting that Chu Chu's boudoir in Gangcheng is in a French European style, but her house in her hometown is like this, which gives Longcheng a strong sense of contrast.
It really feels like going back to my hometown.
At Chu Yu's suggestion, Long Cheng and Yu Xiangwen also bought a courtyard house, which is not far from here. However, neither of them has ever lived here. Long Cheng stayed at Chu Chu's place and felt for the first time that the courtyard house really had an authentic feel!
As a native of the port city, he loves this authentic culture!
After drinking, Longcheng pulled Chuchu into his arms. Chuchu kissed his cheek and couldn't help but ask, "How was it meeting your parents? Were you nervous?"
Longcheng was naturally nervous, just like the night of the proposal, when he was so nervous that he almost backed down.
He had never had parents or elders in his life and didn't know what family meant. Although Shu Hui had some reservations about his profession, she felt sorry for him when she heard that he had a hard childhood.
Longcheng thought Chuchu's family was very good; they were reasonable, knew right from wrong, and weren't the kind of family that put on airs.
Longcheng held Chuchu tightly, not wanting to move. The two dared not do anything inappropriate at home. Longcheng was also afraid that Chuchu would be lonely, so he only dared to kiss her and help her relax. He didn't dare to do anything real, for fear that the shaking of the bed would alert the whole family.
The next morning, Longcheng woke up very early. In Gangcheng, Longcheng liked to stay up late. He went to bed early last night and didn't do anything wrong, so he thought he was getting up quite early. But when he went out, he found that Shuhui had already prepared breakfast.
"Mom," Long Cheng called out.
He couldn't bring himself to call her that. His mother died young, beaten to death. Long Cheng had no female elders in his memory; the closest female elder he knew was the restaurant owner.
Hearing the voice, Shu Hui smiled and waved to him, "I made roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), would you like to try some?"
Shu Hui chopped the meat, but the steamed buns weren't ready yet, so she used her chopsticks to pick up some meat for Long Cheng to try, worried that Long Cheng, being from Gangcheng, might not be used to the taste.
"Salty or bland? Should we add less salt?"
Longcheng felt it was just right, neither too strong nor too weak, and the intensity of the maternal love was just right.
"Mom, it's fine. I'm not picky about food."
Shu Hui shook her head. "My Chu Chu is a picky eater. When she was little, we were poor and couldn't afford to let her be picky, but she still refused to eat this or that. You, on the other hand, are not picky about anything."
